There is only one interpretation for me to have, since you're using a "sack containing $500,000 USD."
Who conducts a legal real estate transaction in this fashion?
Your quote is wrong today, as it was in October on the Belizeforum.
What you're saying is that you can bribe the Belize Prime Minister for 180 acres of land that belongs to its people. The thought of this act is crooked and fraudulent.
Apparently, you may have been reading news items regarding government corruption from the previous Belize government that was ousted by Dean Barrow and his party in Feb. 2008 in a landslide victory.
A reading of Mr. Barrow's bio does not give me an impression of corruption. Therefore, it is highly doubtful you would be able to achieve your goals.
Here's another quote from you...
"Oh, how I would love to be able to see pictures of what Old Lynam College looks like today.
Does anyone have any recent pictures of the place, or a link to pictures of it?
Or how about a real good geographical location description, like lat./lon., or miles and direction from this or that town?
I know it is located in the Stann Creek district, but that is all about all I know.
Are properties like this offered by a realtor, or do GOB officials handle deals like this "personally and exclusively"?
TIA"
So while you're in Belize plopping down that "sack containing $500,000 USD," could you provide the BLDV board with a link to some photographs of the 17 buildings and land at the Old Lynam College?
Long and Strong with Blue Diamond Ventures, Inc.
GO BLDV!!
greenpea23,
I located a couple of links from Wikipedia on Fluoroscopy and X-ray image intensifier (C-Arm / Fluoroscope).
There's some good information on these two links and there are a number of related links at the bottom of each page...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroscopy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_image_intensifier
Later, I will probably make a few changes to the ibox and include these two links.
Apparently, there is some disconnect between one's perception of reality and/or fiction. You are following the content of the ibox, but I am following the content of postings.
I am not concerned with a "single poster or what he/she post fact or not fact," but I am concerned with false misleading information.
There is more than just the example of "one post months ago" and there are other examples showing indications of false misleading information...

That information is well known.
There's also someone from Canada on Belizeforums...
"If you need a link to the FALSE information Beef, as many have been told here by others, Fetch it in these many post about it."
It's interesting that you, of all posters, would suggest that someone look through previous posts for false information?
You mean, like this link?

I don't believe her "slow drip dilution" theory is correct.
I believe it's the MM's, HF's and OST's that have participated in the illegal and abusive naked short selling of BLDV stock...
It's not just NSS, Harleyboy...
It's dilution, cellar boxing, triple and quad zeros.
The problem originates with the unscrupulous MM's, crooked Hedge Funds and distrustful Off-Shore Trusts, so don't need to try anything new. The NSS problem not only happens in BLDV, but in all stocks...
No comment...
on why so much DD is being performed on a BLDV stock that you expect to go to "quad zeros" by early 2009?
SonomaWest,
The DVIS image and the link to Imaging3's RSNA information were placed in the ibox.
If additional images show up on the IMGG website, I may add the them next to the current image.
Thanks,
You're right, very impressive.
Dominion looks sleek...
"It is a little more complicated than that.No the less.No matter what I,or anyone on this board has ever done,in their lives."
Has ever done or continues to do?
Didn't you recently receive a misdirected email from John Beebe of PRGL? Haven't you previously mentioned Mr. Beebe's name on this board in an attempt to connect him with the TA Carl Dilley of Island Stock Transfer and BLDV's JQM?
NOPE, did not miss anything tangible...
The time spent on DD in a 50 State search for an LLC does not equate with a conclusion that a company's stock is expected to go to "quad zeros."
If such a conclusion of "quad zeros" is made, I would also expect that it's time to seek out other companies with higher potential.
Keep trying though...
It appears to me there's a lot of naysayer "secret DD" being performed on BLDV.
Per EarnestDD in search of Blue Diamond Biodiesel LLC...
"I will search the last 10 states like Alaska and Rhode Island tomorrow.
I left the improbable states until the last."
and...
"I have done searches for Blue Diamond Ventures Biodiesel LLC in about 40 states.
There is No such entity that I can find.
Not in any of the Gulf Coast States or Nevada.
And these are the logical choices for this LLC to be formed."
Yep, a good amount of DD being performed on BLDV considering EarnestDD expects the stock to be trading at quad zeros by maybe early 2009.
Jerle, you are correct. Thanks for your input regarding the SEC and the markets.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays to you...
Apparently, BLDV has also produced unscrupulous MM's, crooked Hedge Funds and distrustful Off-Shore Trusts...
These entities are the real scam companies associated with BLDV and many other stocks. If the SEC ever gets around to it to sniff out their NSS schemes, maybe some new legislation will root out their corruption and punish these shady characters.
Recently, I've noticed a "cellar boxing" theme being stepped up by naysayers. However, hoping for dilution to be present will not make this "cellar boxing" fantasy a reality. What is probably involved here is not dilution since I believe there is a multitude of naked short shares involved.
"If you are insinuating that BLDV has "land for Jatropha" in Africa ... my oh my ... there are so many scams claiming that same thing right now."
I don't remember insinuating anything. In fact, my postings always state clearly what my position is on a given topic.
My understanding of insinuations as referenced with Merriam-Webster is clearly defined...
in·sin·u·ate
Pronunciation:
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): in·sin·u·at·ed; in·sin·u·at·ing
Etymology: Latin insinuatus, past participle of insinuare, from in- + sinuare to bend, curve, from sinus curve
Date: 1529
transitive verb
1 a: to introduce (as an idea) gradually or in a subtle, indirect, or covert way <insinuate doubts into a trusting mind> b: to impart or suggest in an artful or indirect way : imply <I resent what you're insinuating>
My previous post is neither subtle nor indirect, of which included a very large and bold image of Africa. Therefore, I have boldly indicated there is plenty of land in Africa as compared with land in Belize. There were no allusions or insinuations with my previous post.
"Keep trying."
You also, keep trying.
It was probably those POS's MM's, Hedge Funds or Off-Shore Trusts playing games... take your pick.
"The money coming in from selling shares,is split up
between da crooks."
I believe "da crooks" are any MM's, Hedge Funds and Off-Shore Trusts that have participated in naked short selling of BLDV...
Lately, I've been wondering what type of interaction occurred between Imaging3 and the major companies at the RSNA. I'm sure Dean can only provide limited information here...
It's my understanding that Dean met with about 5 major companies including Stryker, which sent an entire team out to meet with him. Toshiba was next door and visited I3 often.
There is an indication of interest in the Dominion in follow up meetings with Toshiba & Stryker to occur this month, and possibly other companies next month. These are good signs to me since it's understood the DVIS does not have complete FDA approval.
Also, I don't remember Stryker being heavily involved in Imaging as with the other major companies such as GE, Phillips, Siemens and Toshiba.
http://www.stryker.com/en-us/Solutions/Imaging/index.htm
A year ago, I agreed with various opinions on this board that IMGG would need complete FDA approval, in order for the stock to begin that upward movement. However, I'm am not so sure that should be the case during this current economic downturn when comparing the costs of the Dominion v. CT.
My thoughts revolve around the Dominion's versatility with patented real-time 3D, low dose radiation, small foot-print and mobility. With a low price per unit cost, I imagine the upgraded software has helped tremendously in packaging a complete product.
Whether it be partnering or a buy-out of Imaging3, why would one of the majors need to wait for FDA clearance to take a chance on the DVIS?
There is potential here for one of the majors to get a jump on their competition. It appears to me that if Stryker is looking for a strong presence in imaging, why not go after the Dominion?
(Just my speculation)
Sunshine, I had to read the post twice...
There are doubts as to whether it's real, or sarcasm, due to the detail of the post. A couple here have stepped up to plate to defend his post as sarcasm, but the Dog hasn't mentioned anything on this matter.
I would think that "unsuspecting investors" should do their own DD without expectations that others will provide them with the information they seek... Correct?
"I think a even a caveman,could understand it is only humor."
Thank you for pointing it out.
"The truth is,this is a share selling scam.Nothing else."
And, I believe the same regarding the MM's, Hedge Funds and Off-Shore Trusts. Actually, the last entity should probably be renamed to Off-Shore Distrusts.
Sorry, I'm not the one that needs to pick up on sarcasm...
However, I believe the "unsuspecting investors" that are supposed to be helped may not have picked up on the "Dog being quite sarcastic."
EarnestDD, it appears that in doggone's post of 10/06/2008 a conversion of some sort would have occurred and that he has previously spoken with Mr. Moaning.
I'm hoping this post is factual and not one of those "false promotions" that I keep reading about... Correct?

J Q moaning has asked that i convey his sincere gratitude to his BLDV supporters and pumpers. He would like each of you to know that he is deeply apprciative of your buying action as you attempt to support the SP in your dedicated, although modest attempt at a bailout. However, he has indicated to me that current efforts may not be sufficient and asks that each of you dig just a little deeper, do not hold back. These additional funds are required in order to allow Mr. Moaning his regular island retreat.
Mr. Moaning has been looking forward to this much deserved rest all year and would be most disappointed should it become neccesary for him to postpone what he has planned. I would like to take this opportunity to personally ask that each of you honor the desires of Mr. Moaning and once again bless him with his wishes, he has worked very hard for you and is most deserving,,,,,,,,,,don't you agree!

The above does not include other MM's trading of BLDV in 2008...
So, should investors assume that so many shares have traded without a significant amount of NSS?
The dilution is caused by naked short selling...
The problem is, and has been, the clandestine activities of MM's, Hedge Funds and Off-Shore Trust.
Naked short selling has been their conduit of dilution in companies for quite some time. A barrier will place on this avenue of corruption due to the current condition of the markets (here in the U.S.).
I invite you to post any verifiable proof whatsoever regarding your "CEOs who sell shares and do nothing" statement.
Off-Shore Trusts... as in Canada.
I believe the real dummies are those that work for MM's, Hedge Funds and Off-Shore Trusts...
These entities are the scourge of the financial markets... why work, when you can cheat investors of out their money?
Best scams emanate from good for nothing MM's, Hedge Funds and Off-Shore Trusts... POS's in my "favorite mantra" opinion.
Do your own DD without expectations that others will provide you with the information you seek...
Naked short selling is real, and dilutive.
MM's, Hedge Funds and Off-Shore Trusts that participate in naked short selling are companies that refuse to do an honest days work and just feed off of others... similar to pirrahnas.
BLDV...
It not toxic funding... there's no dilution or scamming... like the MM's, Hedge Funds and Off-Shore Trusts!!
Utter nonsense, whistles...
The BS deception is what's coming from the MM's, Hedge Funds and Off-Shore Trusts that have been gaming the financial markets for many years. Everyone knows the banker and their cronies control the cards and the game; we have to play by their rules...
If "NSS is plain and simple BS," why did the SEC place the clamps on them recently?
I believe the MM's, Hedge Funds and Off-Shore Trusts are the POS's associated with this BLDV stock...
Due to their "abusive" practice of naked short selling, the SEC closed the FTD loop hole on 10/17/2008 for all securities. This order extends to 07/2009, but I believe that sweeping changes within the SEC will occur very soon.
http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/2008/34-58773.pdf
It appears to me those naked short POS's will need to cover...

TN ... I invite you to post any verifiable Proof whatsoever to show that BLDV has Assets and Operations.
Moaning thanks you for the money."
And, I invite you to post any verifiable proof whatsoever regarding your "red herring" comment that indicates BLDV has no biofuel assets and no biofuel operations...
"I have had some forward me some information which on the face of it looked good, but when you subject it to real DD ... proved to be just another red herring.
So I say again ... BLDV has No Biofuel Assets and NO biofuel operations."
You've already expressed this same opinion a few times.
BTW, I like this part of the article best...
"Obama's New Energy plan also pledges to invest $150 billion over the next 10 years in private, clean-energy initiatives, including the development of biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol, biobutenol and other new technologies. The plan calls for the production of at least 60 billion gallons of advanced biofuels by 2030.
Louisiana is in position to be one of the leading areas for the development of alternative fuels, said UL assistant professor of renewable resources Barbara Benson.
The state is No. 1 in the nation in production of agricultural biomass that can be converted into electricity or fuel, she said.
"I see that as being a real potential for alternative fuels," Benson said."
If Blue Diamond Ventures Inc. has no assets, no biodiesel plant and basically nothing; why would anyone be interested in this inconspicuous company?
:)
Powering the future: Obama's energy plan could create opportunities here
http://www.theadvertiser.com/article/20081207/NEWS01/812070313/1002
Jeff Moore • jeffmoore@theadvertiser.com • December 7, 2008
While the oil and gas industry remains at the heart of Acadiana's economy, the area is also poised to take advantage of alternative energy initiatives proposed by President-elect Barack Obama.
Obama's New Energy for America plan proposes several changes to lessen the country's dependence on foreign oil.
Several of the plan's mid- to long-term proposals could have a major impact on companies already pursuing alternative energy in Acadiana.
Alternative energy refers to any source of usable energy intended to supplement or replace conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels.
Solar power, wind power and fuels produced from agriculture all have enjoyed newfound interest in recent years because of concerns about unstable oil prices, global warming and war in the Middle East.
The New Energy for America would set minimum requirements for alternative energy production over the next few decades.
That could create big opportunities for local companies at the cutting edge of the green energy movement.
Solar
Obama's plan seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050. The policy would require industries to pay based on the amount of pollutants they release. A portion of the receipts, estimated at $15 billion per year, would be used to support the development of clean energy and energy-efficient improvements.
Among those likely to benefit from this investment are companies that specialize in solar power.
Solar power systems use silicon cells to convert sunlight into usable electricity for heating, lighting or ventilation.
With a 50 percent tax credit on solar systems up to $25,000, Louisiana is the most solar-friendly state in the country, according to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency.
When combined with a 30 percent federal tax credit, residents can save 80 percent off the cost of installing a solar system in their home.
Louisiana Solar Solutions began installing solar systems in homes in Lafayette last year. The company has installed five systems so far this year, and figures to install many more as consumers become aware of possible savings.
"There was just not a market for any of this until we got tax credits," said Collin Bercier, owner of Louisiana Solar Solutions. "With the tax credits, it's made it affordable."
Bercier said the average solar system costs about $25,000 and produces about 450 kilowatt hours of electricity per month.
With tax credits knocking $20,000 off the installation price, energy savings can allow the system to pay for itself in about two years, Bercier said.
The local academic community is incorporating solar power in its curricula as well.
UL is one of 20 schools in the world to participate in the 2009 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon in Washington D.C.
Team Beau Soleil, meaning "sunshine" in French, is designing and building a Cajun-style cottage that runs on solar power.
"There's no better way for the students to learn than to physically design and build one of these systems," said UL Associate Professor Geoff Gjertson.
"By the time we're done with this competition, they will be experts in the field of sustainable energy."
At Louisiana Technical College in Lafayette, a dozen local residents are in the middle of a two-week solar electric installer training course.
The training is one of the requirements needed to be a solar system installation contractor in Louisiana.
Robert Schmidt, of Slidell, said he took the class because he is interested in getting into the solar industry.
A recent graduate of LSU, he plans to start a business in Baton Rouge, Intelligreen Energy, with two partners in the engineering and construction fields.
"The solar industry is growing by about 50 percent each year, so obviously there's a lot of potential there," Schmidt said.
Louisiana Technical College recently received a $1 million grant to provide instruction in alternative energy.
The college offered an outreach course on the basics of alternative energy this fall, and will begin offering a one-year certificate program in alternative energy systems next year.
"Our vision there is to develop a trained workforce in this industry," said LTC instructor Merlin Landry.
"At this point, there's not much in the area, but it's growing quickly. As it does, we're trying to get ahead of the curve and be able to prepare people for these types of positions."
Biofuels
Obama's New Energy plan also pledges to invest $150 billion over the next 10 years in private, clean-energy initiatives, including the development of biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol, biobutenol and other new technologies. The plan calls for the production of at least 60 billion gallons of advanced biofuels by 2030.
Louisiana is in position to be one of the leading areas for the development of alternative fuels, said UL assistant professor of renewable resources Barbara Benson.
The state is No. 1 in the nation in production of agricultural biomass that can be converted into electricity or fuel, she said.
"I see that as being a real potential for alternative fuels," Benson said.
Verenium, a Massachusetts-based company, has built a demonstration-scale plant in Jennings that makes cellulosic ethanol from sugarcane bagasse.
The plant, the first of its kind in the country, produced its first ethanol this harvest season, and is expected to be running at full speed early next year, producing up to 1.4 million gallons a year.
Next year, the company plans to break ground on its first commercial-scale plant, which could produce 25 million to 30 million gallons of ethanol annually.
The company has targeted sites from Texas to Florida for the facility, including at least one in Louisiana.
"I would foresee a fleet of them all along the Gulf Coast region shortly after that," said Verenium spokeswoman Morgen Grandjean.
Benson and other scientists at UL's Department of Renewable Resources are currently studying the conversion of algae into biofuel.
Considered the holy grail of biodiesel feedstocks, algae holds a thousand times the energy potential of other food crops and has been a focus of Air Force research for jet fuel, once researchers learn to convert algae economically.
Sustainable Fuels, owned by New Iberia attorney David Groner and partner Mike Valls, plans to build a biodiesel plant at the Port of West St. Mary in Baldwin.
The plant will turn waste vegetable oil into 5 million gallons of biodiesel annually.
Sustainable Fuels figures to break ground on the plant during the first quarter of 2009, Groner said. It is expected to be fully operational toward the end of the year.
Enviro-Diesel produces about 750 gallons of biodiesel a week at its facility in Carencro. The company collects waste oil from local restaurants and converts it into a clean-burning fuel.
Co-owner Tim Diesel said the company hopes to expand its production, but the falling price of petroleum diesel has lowered demand, said co-owner Tim Metcalf.
Though currently operating at break-even, Metcalf said the call for more biofuels over the next two decades is promising.
"That's why we're working for free right now," he said. "As (biodiesel) grows in the future, I think things will come around."
Wind
Perhaps the most ambitious part of the plan calls 10 percent of all electricity consumed in the United States be derived from clean, sustainable energy sources, like solar, wind and geothermal, by the end of Obama's first term. The plan states the requirement will spur private investment into renewable energy and create thousands of new jobs.
One local company that stands to benefit from the new mandate would be Wind Energy Systems Technologies, co-founded by Herman Schellstede and Harold Schoeffler of Lafayette.
The company plans to use abandoned offshore oil platforms to harness the power of wind.
The company has leased five areas off the Texas coast with hopes to build $3 billion worth of wind farms on abandoned offshore oil platforms, Schellstede said.
Engineers have collected more than 18 months worth of data from a test site near Galveston, and hope to begin construction in the next year.
WEST has completed engineering work on a 150-megawatt facility in Galveston, but is waiting for funding to purchase wind turbines, which cost more than $100 million each.
The company would also like to get a bottom-line guarantee of what utility companies would pay for wind energy, to ensure the project would be economical.
"We have investors ready to go," Schellstede said. "But it would be so much of a better sell if we have some kind of floor."
Schellstede said the company continues to do research at its four other sites in Texas. It has also applied to lease sites out of Venice and Port Fourchon in Louisiana.
The ongoing financial crisis has slowed the project somewhat, Schellstede said.
But a new, renewables-friendly administration could provide more opportunities for assistance or other incentives to make wind energy more attractive, he said.
"People favor this, because they know it's a long-term need," Schellstede said. "We need power, and this is one of the safest ways to get it."
While the benefits of renewable power will be with Texas, many of the jobs connected with the project will be in Louisiana, Schellstede said.
Equipment and platforms will be built, fabricated or recycled from Louisiana ports, he said.
Energy efficiency
The plan calls for the country to reduce its projected electricity demand by 15 percent by 2020. It would place annual demand reduction targets on utilities, and apply more stringent standards on buildings and appliances.
Lafayette Utilities System currently draws 70 percent of its power from coal power, according to LUS director Terry Huval. The remainder comes from natural gas.
Huval says LUS has no current plans to invest in renewable resources because of additional costs to customers. But the company is making changes to accommodate customers who install their own alternative energy systems.
The Lafayette City-Parish Council recently passed a net metering ordinance that would allow LUS customers to connect their solar panels or other alternative energy sources to the city's power grid.
Any customer generating more "green energy" than they consumed would be eligible for a credit on their utility bill, Huval said.
LUS has also focused on promoting energy efficiency and educating customers on reducing their energy consumption, Huval.
The utility provider is looking to install a "smart grid" system next year, which would allow electric meters to be read remotely and provided to customers on a real-time basis.
"That could help customers identify opportunities to reduce their energy on their own, and at same time help us reduce overall demand," Huval said.
"Now ... go find that many acres in Belize. Can't be done ... not without taking serious land away from food production or wildlife parks and refuges."
I don't believe BLDV needs to look for additional acres in Belize...
