Nope but about 10% of the people wearing masks. People working in farmacias and pregnant women all wearing masks. About 50% of all birthing age women in this town are pregnant.
forever is a long time...
Yep, it is wrong to steal and you should operate with the facts and the facts are Urban is a known scammer from birth or at least early childhood.
There is no prize for being stupid and you are not entitled to a refund at my expense because I invested wisely.
Buyer beware don´t expect me to pay for your mistakes.
Upon reviewing Janice´s posts I have decided not to open and read your link.
Your problem Jimmy is you feel you are entitled to something such as protection from the government, a prize or shares in a newco for making a series of stupid mistakes with your investment money.
If you want to live in a nanny state you might enjoy China or North Korea. In these places people will be happy to make decisions for you and kin alike.

"When you see that commerce is done, not by consent but by compulsion – when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from those who themselves produce nothing – when you se that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors, -- when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – you will know that your society is doomed."

Wow this is just like the Boston tea party or something...
Yep, just play lots of small bets and don't parlay. I just named my Mexican puppy Black Jack.
"As far as I know we all have fradulent shares!"
I agree there is a certain segment of the population that includes the million millionaires that needs to have every aspect of their finances governed and regulated to protect them. They should in fact have to pass a test before being allowed to participate with the rest of us in the public markets.
The lack of experience by company insiders in the mining business was a clear warning to any investor the company was a fraud.
The funny car was not evidence of a fraud but a squander of funds that could have been used to stake claims and explore for minerals.
The fact the company never owned any mining claims in Saskatchewan or entered into an industry standard joint venture agreement was a further warning bell to a fraud.
The penchant of the president to hang around casinos boozing it up and eating bacon wrapped shrimp into the wee hours of the morning 24/7 was another clear sign.
This is not a "We the people...." situation it is people being too greedy to think.
The only part of the constitution that refers to your rights as a shareholder appear to be this one because the CMKXers were at all times free to religiously pursue their belief in Pope Urban.
Maybe you can apply for cult status and get some sort of charitable tax receipt for your investment.

Dominion Land Grant Information
*---Homesteads granted to settlers were 160 acres of land, and required a $10.00 fee for the Letters Patent. Males 18 years or older could apply or a male or female head of the family. Before receiving title to the land, they had to file evidence that they were British subjects by birth or naturalization.
Proving the land
*---Settlers had to live on their homesteads for a three year period, clearing and farming some of the land and making improvements. They had an option to purchase the quarter section next to theirs as a pre-emption, by paying the market price of the time which was about $2.00 acre. Even numbered sections were reserved for homesteads and pre-emptions, while odd-numbered sections were sold.
*--Upon recieving the Dominion Land Grant patent for a quarter section, the homesteader could apply for a pre-emption. This entitled him to purchase an additional 80 acres adjacent to the homestead at the rate of one dollar per acre. [later the rate changed to three dollars per acre] Various Dominion Land Acts
*---The Dominion Government made an agreement with the Hudson Bay Company for land take over. The HBC were to receive 1\20 of fertile land so for every fifth township, all of section 8 and 3/4 of section 26 were set aside as HBC lands. The Dominion Lands Act of 1872 provided that the Company should receive all of section 8 in each township, all of section 26 in each township with a number divisible by 5, and the southern half and the northwest quarter of section 26 in all other townships. In some townships HBC land was in sections other than 8 or 26. This happened if, for example, the Dominion Government required these sections for its own purposes.
*--Provisions were made that Sections 11 and 29 of each township were school sections.
*--Railway grants gave odd numbered sections to the C.P.R. for 24 miles on either side of the railroad. Later the sale of the remaining odd numbered sections were used to build the Hudson Bay Railroad.
*--Grazing Land could be obtained for 1 cent an acre for two years and gave up to 100,000 acres.
*--The Soldier Settlement Act gave a free quarter section to veterans.
Measurements
160 acres = Quarter Section = Homestead = 1/2 mile x 1/2 mile
1 acre = 4,840 square yards
1 mile = 1,760 yards
1 kilometer = 0.621 mile
This story reminds of CMKX's lawyers...
Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.
When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.
The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is." The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is.
The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."
The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."
The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple and says, "Ask him again!" The attorney signs to the bookkeeper: "He'll kill you if you don't tell him!"
The bookkeeper signs back: "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens!"
The Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?"
The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the balls to pull the trigger"
Are cats for true Christians?
Is it appropriate for a Christian to own a cat, in light of their past pagan religious affiliation and the medical information that is now coming to light? -J.R., U.S.A.
It would be misleading to answer this question with either a simple 'Yes' or a 'No.' The Scriptural answer of necessity must be a 'qualified' one, and it is easy to see why. Many conscientious ones among Jehovah's people today have wondered if Christians should own cats in view of their somewhat sordid symbolic history and the many health risks associated therewith. While we would not wish to state an opinion on what must remain a matter of personal preference, what is acceptable to one person may, although unintentionally, stumble another. This can become a life-or-death issue since to move the steps of a brother away from the path of Christ's ransom sacrifice is tantamount to 'putting a millstone around the neck and being thrown into the sea.' -Matt. 18:6. Clearly, in a matter where our eternal salvation is involved, the mature Christian will not pursue a purely selfish course based on his own personal choices, but will adopt a congregational viewpoint as scripturally prescribed.
First, let us consider what most scholars agree is the etymology (word derivation) for the English term 'cat'. When analyzed with the Latin 'felis cattus domesticus', the original Koine Greek is 'cur.io huma bes-tia', means 'a contemporary housecat with all of its beastly identifying characteristics and behavior.' A faithful servant of Jehovah would quickly notice that the nature of a cat is so marked as being 'beastly'. The Bible makes clear reference to this condition when describing parts of Satan's organizations, both past and present. For instance, consider the fearsome 'beasts' as described in the book of Daniel or the 'scarlet colored wild beast' in Rev. 17:3. The demons entered the swine when rebuked by Jesus showing the potential harm and malevolent spirit control to which a Christian may be potentially exposed. Lest we forget the story of Nebuchadnezzar and the condition of God's enemy when being humbled by Jehovah, the student of God's Holy word would ask - is it by accident that the Bible in the book of Daniel describes his experience as a 'beast' of the field? Hardly so!
Clearly, the Bible - by using this kind of terminology - shows beyond any reasonable doubt that the basic nature of cats, while created perfect by God, has become evil or 'beastlike' since the fall of Adam six thousand years ago, and more probably, since the Great Flood of Noah's time (c2350 B.C.E.). This is a development of the condition borne by the 'Original Serpent', the 'Great Dragon' Lucifer himself. (Gen. 3:1) Indeed, modern studies of classification of cats, while not necessarily being reliable as they may be based on the discredited 'theory' of evolution, strongly associate felines with serpents (despite some external differences in physiology and morphology, which confuse those who do not study these matters deeply).
There are numerous reasons why a loyal dedicated servant of God should use his Bible-trained conscience to arrive at a proper understanding of why cats are not advisable as pets or companions for Christians. Consider, then, the following facts:
It was a common practice in ancient Egypt to worship or idolize cats as 'gods'. Indeed, after death many cats were mummified, venerated and sacrifices were made to them. As Christians we observe not only the Mosaic Law, but also the 'necessary things,' identified by the Apostles at Jerusalem, to include the following edict: '(1) Abstain from sacrifices to idols'. We are to 'guard ourselves from idols' and 'worship no other gods'. Such feline influence could lead to idolatry and thereby 'grieve Jehovah's Spirit' with tragic consequences. May we never take for granted Jehovah's wise and generous counsel brought to you by your spiritual brothers in the pages of this magazine!
The Bible does not say that cats were not present at Herod's birthday party when John the Baptist was beheaded. History shows that cats were most likely present at this tragic party that Jehovah did not approve of. Clearly then, as loyal Christians, why would we even want to associate with animals that are without a doubt of such bad influence, remembering how true are the Bible's words: 'Bad associations spoil useful habits'! -1 Cor. 15:33. Some have exposed themselves to possible spiritual contamination in this way. To invite cats in our house is to toy with disaster. Can one deny that the chance exists that the same grave consequences could visit your home that fell upon John? Clearly, God disapproved of this 'birthday' party. Should we not then disapprove (without showing any malicious intent, only Godly hatred) of cats the way the scriptures recommend?
Throughout history, particularly in the middle ages and reaching its climax in the Salem Witch trials of the seventeenth century, cats were recognized by the forces of Christendom as familiars and carriers if not direct incarnates of demons. While, in common with most beliefs of the empire of false religion, no evidence has ever been found to support this, the symbolism of cats still remain within the public psyche, and involvement with them reflects poorly on God's footstools and footstep followers. Many pagan faiths still conclude that black cats bring ill-luck and possess demonic forces, while we have shown that it is, instead, all cats that share these perceived characteristics. Since cats were associated with the devil, could we as faithful and dedicated servants of God therefore contaminate ourselves by exposure to a 'living symbol' of satanic incarnation? How would this reflect on God's name and that of his visible, earthly organization? Would we want to be linked with a symbol of Satan, the 'god of this beastly system of things'?
The careful student of the Bible will acknowledge that nowhere within it is any species ('kind') of cat referred to in favorable terms. In fact, was it not lions of the first century who the Devil used to devour faithful Christians? Jehovah Himself 'stopped up the mouths of the lions' (Dan. 6:22) in Daniel's day. True, the small housecats of today are not quite lions, but being of the same accursed animal family used by God's enemies on numerous occasions throughout history, would it be wise or prudent to own one? In addition, by owing any type of cat (feline), would we not give an appearance of condoning their evil deeds throughout recorded Bible and secular history? The Bible makes clear that God's people are 'no part of this world' (John 15:19) and that we are 'not to share in the sins of others', consume lecithin within nutritive cereal or 'candy' bars, or do other things directly banned in Holy Scripture.
The demeanor of a cat is seen by many honest-hearted observers as reflecting some supernatural, unnatural proclivity towards malice or evil. And, it is a well-known fact that cats are impossible to tame, teach or raise in the truth. The cat has a rebellious, independent spirit. While the animal itself may be unaware of this tragic condition, it serves only its true master - Satan, the Devil.
The scriptures clearly indicate that neither Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, faithful Job, the Apostles, Jesus nor any other human bearing God's favor himself owned a cat. Should we simply assume that this is a mere coincidence? Surely not! This was most likely because they didn't want to be like the pagan contemporaries of their respective days who showed no regard for how God feels about owning a cat. In harmony with the pattern set by the faithful prophets and worthies of old, it would therefore not be fitting for the true Christian today to own a cat.
But, the most modern scientific evidence also supports the Biblical view. Contrary to popular beliefs among worldly people, cats are unhygienic animals. Recently the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced that 'Cats .. can shed Salmonella in their feces, which can spread the bacterial infection to humans'. Salmonella (salmonella typhimurium) creates a condition of 'week-long diarrhea, abdominal cramps and in some instances, hospitalization.' Would we be showing the proper respect to our life, Creator and to our 'neighbor' by exposing ourselves and others to this potentially deadly disease? Would this be seen by your brothers, and by those showing an interest in God's word, as giving a good witness?
Additionally, cats practice many unclean habits not befitting a Christian household: coughing up fur balls, licking inappropriate body areas on their own bodies (inappropriate handling) and even, in some cases, on the bodies of their human owners (wrongful motive?), urination on the floor, vocal and blatant promiscuity (unknown to any other species, all others being endowed with Godly chastity and decorum) and widespread sexual misconduct without the benefit or sanctity of holy matrimony, even orgiastic practices, substance abuse of catnip (an intoxicating herb) which produces conditions akin to drunkenness, stealing food from the table, producing ungodly sounds, excessive playfulness and the employment of devices not known to have been used by Jesus, the conducting of its unholy business under the cover of the darkness of night, and so on. What sort of example does this give our young ones endeavoring to faithfully serve Jehovah? The Bible clearly shows that 'neither fornicators .. nor thieves .. nor drunkards .. nor revilers .. will inherit the Kingdom.' (1 Cor. 6:9-11)
It must not be forgotten that the feline is a killer. It eats mice and their kind, which is forbidden to Christians and their pets (Lev. 11:29, Isa. 66:17). But, far more serious, is the matter of the wanton consumption of the undrained corpses of the victims of this nocturnal creature; eating bodies filled with God's sacred blood is not a matter to be trifled with (Gen. 9:3,4; Lev. 3:17; Deut. 12:16,23,24; Acts 15:20,28,29). In an earlier article in The Watchtower, we have shown that it would be improper for a Christian to permit a veterinarian to give blood transfusions to his pet, for animal feed known to contain blood to be served to a pet or a farm animal under one's jurisdiction, or to employ any fertilizer that is known to have blood in it (w64 2/15 127-8). By allowing one's cat to roam uncontrolled, the Christian becomes a willing party to, even a conspirator within, this serious breach of God's law of life.
In addition, the Apostle Paul admonishes us to 'quit mixing in company .. not even eating with such an unclean [one].' -1 Cor. 5:9-11; Mark 2:13-17. Although Paul was speaking primarily about Christians who fell into sin, there is no reason to conclude that this inspired Biblical principle cannot be applied to association with cats. Uncleanness in any form is condemned by Jehovah and the fact that the Apostle Paul made no distinction when it came to associating with housecats proves beyond a doubt to the right-thinking worshiper of Jehovah that loyal Christians must avoid all association with all sources of uncleanness. This would logically include animals that either harbor these tendencies or indulge in such practices.
Of course, while demonstrating one's obedience to God's lovingly-issued commandments, one must do so without any spirit of meanness or ill-will towards these Satanic creatures, though they represent God's enemies. Instead, mature Christians 'feel a loathing' toward those, including cats, who have voluntarily or otherwise made themselves God's enemies, and they leave it to Jehovah to execute vengeance. -Job 13:16; Romans 12:19; 2 John 9,10.
Are we not grateful for this insight on God's viewpoint regarding such matters? True worshipers follow closely God's mandates on cleanness to their eternal benefit! Sister N.K. from Virginia, U.S.A. tells us that since getting rid of her cat, she has not had to be preoccupied with cleaning the litter box or wasting valuable time better spent pursuing kingdom interests with the burden of purchasing cat food. This has allowed her to become a full-time pioneer; she finds that it is now easier to meet her allotted hours in field service. Godwin, a brother from Sierra Leone, puts it this way: 'I'm so grateful that God's organization is kept clean! It has freed me from the burden of owning a cat and all the spiritual pitfalls and financial commitments that go with it. I hope all the brothers will realize how the Devil subtly uses cats to corrupt and distract us from the disciple-making work.' (Matt. 24:14). What fine examples of faithfulness!
The question of how to dispose of one's unwanted cat is a serious matter. Would it be proper to hand over such a creature of Satan to a person of the world? We see no immediate problem with this, as such a person is already immersed in the wicked ways of this system of things, and so a beastly companion would be a fitting one indeed. They could accompany eachother on the road to destruction, through ignoring God's generous gift of life proffered via His spirit-begotten earthly organization. It is on this same sound principle that a Christian doctor would have no reason to deny blood transfusions to a worldly patient. If, on the other hand, one took the view stated on page 128 of the abovementioned Watchtower, and consider that the pet or any other animal is under the ultimate jurisdiction of a Christian, who therefore bears responsibilities (Eccl. 12:13,14; Jas. 4:17, 1 Pet. 3:21) that are essentially parental in nature. The cat is a dependant. In harmony with this, surely it is the parent's obligation before God to ensure the feline pet is treated as one would an unruly child who repeatedly refused to obey its parents, or of one who committed apostasy. Unfortunately in the case of human offspring, one is limited by the laws of the higher authorities of the land as to what scripturally-ordained punishment may be meted out, as compliance with both sets of laws is necessary in such areas. This may not always be the case in terms of felines, where the fact that we are not living in theocratic countries may not prove such an impediment to what God requires of us, as manmade law may not afford such unmerited protection to cats as it does to humans. God's soldiers would be mindful to apply, where the case merited it and local custom did not prohibit it, the principle of Deut. 21:18-21 which states that: 'In case a man happens to have a [dependant] who is stubborn and rebellious, he not listening to the voice of his [guardian], and they have corrected him but he will not listen to them, his [guardian] must also take hold of him and bring him out to the older men of his city and to the gate of his place, and they must say to the older men of his city, 'This [dependant] of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he is not listening to our voice, being a glutton and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his city must pelt him with stones, and he must die.' The mature follower of Jehovah will do well to be reminded of God's advice in page 503 of The Watchtower of November 15, 1952 where it was held that 'In the case where a father or mother or son or daughter is disfellowshiped, how should such person be treated by members of the family in their family relationship? .. We are not living today among theocratic nations where such members of our fleshly family relationship could be exterminated for apostasy from God and his theocratic organization, as was possible and was ordered in the nation of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai and in the land of Palestine. 'Thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him to death with stones, because he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God, .. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee.' -Deut. 13:6-11, AS.' Of course, we can take no legal responsibility for anything which results from your voluntary application of your interpretation of such Biblical principles as you may believe that we have brought to your attention.
As loyal followers of Jehovah's thinking on this matter, we can rejoice in the fact that in the new system, the incoming theocracy and World Order, the 'lion will lie down with the lamb' -Isa. 11:6-7. Yes, when Satan is finally abyssed, the 'beastly' nature of felines will be forever abolished, and they will be fit companions for humans on Paradise Earth! But until that rapidly-approaching time, God will reward all of our efforts to maintain integrity by loyally submitting to the leading of his spirit expressed through the loving guidance of the 'faithful and discreet slave'. -Matt. 24:45-47

Canadian regulators have longer memories....
BCSC sues over $1,500 fine
2009-03-16 17:47 ET - Street Wire
by Mike Caswell
The B.C. Securities Commission has filed another lawsuit seeking to collect an old unpaid fine. The suit targets Kenneth Hrappstead, a Victoria resident who allegedly has not paid a $1,500 penalty from April 7, 1999. The BCSC fined him for offering an unregistered investment in a trading program, which had a purported return of 2,100 per cent. The fine was small because no investors gave him money.
The BCSC filed a statement of claim against Mr. Hrappstead in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on March 12, 2009. The two-page claim alleges that the BCSC ordered Mr. Hrappstead to pay $1,500 on April 7, 1999, but he has not paid the fine, despite demand. The regulator seeks a $1,500 judgment, plus costs and interest. The commission is represented by William Roberts of Lawson Lundell LLP.
BCSC's Hrappstead decision
The suit comes nearly 10 years after the BCSC handed down a decision against Mr. Hrappstead. According to the April 7, 1999, decision, he had had been operating under the name North American Group, offering a purported leveraged investment through a European bank. He said that for each $300,000 (U.S.) he raised, he could secure a $10-million (U.S.) "commitment" from the bank. He only needed to provide a copy of a cashier's cheque showing evidence that the $300,000 (U.S.) was available.
The program ended after the RCMP learned about it in May, 1997. An RCMP officer, posing as a potential investor, approached him and asked him about the program. Mr. Hrappstead told the officer that he had two investment programs available. The first required an investment of $300,000 (U.S.), and would yield $1-million (U.S.) in four months. The second required $125,000 (U.S.) and would yield $600,000 (U.S.) in one month. He also told the officer that one of the key features of his programs was that the investor's principal was secure.
The next day, another officer, Corporal George Pemberton (now IMET's Inspector Pemberton), visited Mr. Hrappstead at home and informed him that he was under investigation. Mr. Hrappstead told the officer that he had been holding investor information sessions, and showed him information materials that he provided to investors. After some discussion, Corporal Pemberton advised Mr. Hrappstead that he was violating the B.C. Securities Act and he could not continue to provide advice or distribute securities without the consent of the BCSC. Mr. Hrappstead agreed to cease his program.
Mr. Hrappstead also told Corporal Pemberton that he had not placed any investor funds yet because he had not found a satisfactory investment program. "There was no evidence to suggest that any investors actually invested any money in any of Hrappstead's Investment Programs, and Commission staff does not believe that any money was raised from investors," the decision reads.
In addition to the $1,500 fine, the BCSC banned him from performing investor relations and from serving as a director or officer of a company for two years. Mr. Hrappstead did not attend the BCSC's one-day hearing, held on Jan. 26, 1999.
Prior BCSC suits
The lawsuit against Mr. Hrappstead is not the first collection suit the BCSC has filed. Recent attempts to collect old fines included a case against Dan Fisher, a Texas man who ran ads in The Vancouver Sun in 1990 promising a 700-per-cent return on an oil investment. The BCSC fined him $56,000, and banned him for 10 years. On Aug. 7, 2008, the regulator filed a statement of claim alleging that Mr. Fisher had not paid the fine. It said his current occupation was unknown, and his last known address was in Texas. Mr. Fisher did not defend the case, and the BCSC won a default judgment against him on Feb. 4, 2009.
The BCSC filed a similar suit on Jan. 16, 2009, against Norman Armstrong, 71, a con artist last known to live in Surrey. The regulator had fined him $100,000 for defrauding 10 investors with a purported investment in Dia Met Minerals Ltd., but he had not paid. In a related criminal case, the judge sentenced him to eight years in jail, but declined to order any restitution because "I see no realistic prospect for him being able to pay these people back short of winning the lottery."
In its collection lawsuit, the BCSC said that it had demanded he pay the fine, but received nothing. Mr. Armstrong has not responded to the suit, and there has been no activity on the file since the BCSC's initial statement of claim.

Greetings Group Members and CMKX Shareholders,
It does not appear the press release from the company (which will be issued by Don Stoecklein) will be released for another day or two. Don Stoecklein has told the company that he does not plan to issue any further press releases until he has physical receipt of the actual share certificate from Entourage Mining. Don has seen a copy of the cert which has been issued by Entourage but has not received the cert in his office. Mr. Stoecklein intends to place the cert in safe keeping for distribution to all CMKX shareholders. When Don receives the cert from Entourage he has told me he would issue a press release from the company.
There has been much discussion of late between the task force members and Urban regarding the details of completing the notification to all CMKM shareholders of the Entourage distribution. There is significant expense that has already been incurred by this office. Mailed notice to all shareholders will be a costly occurrence. Once all shareholders and shares have been accounted the Company will incur additional expense in ordering and issuing certs to the respective shareholders of the Entourage stock. Communication is ongoing with Helen Bagley about the items needed to complete the duties of the Task Force. Urban has agreed to fund all expenses. The arrangements are still being made to have all funding in place. The acts taken by the Company and its appointed Task Force are being watched closely on many fronts. I remember an old saying “It is not a good idea to wear ear muffs when you are walking through a field of rattlesnakes.” We are sensitive to those who will be grading the papers of the Task Force. We know this Entourage distribution is important to a lot of people. Some want us to fail. Some want us to succeed.
We received internet service back in our building this morning. The internet went out on Monday and was restored this morning around 8:30. Our server problem has been repaired, but some internet and programming work was necessary before we could begin receiving faxes again. Our tech staff has been working non stop since these problems began. We expect to be fully functional tomorrow, but I have learned to make allowances for problems. I am making a best guess prediction by saying tomorrow. We will post a message on the Task Force website (www.cmkmtaskforce.com ) informing all shareholders that we are able to receive faxes again.
Once again I feel it is incumbent on me to tell you that I have no knowledge of any deals, payouts, settlements or the like. I have received calls from people in several brokerage houses letting me know how they are proceeding with the cert pull. Some of the brokerage houses are asking about the January 31, 2010 deadline. The communications from the brokers to this office are directed at the process of getting the certs to the Task Force and their problems in meeting our current deadline. The deadline situation will be addressed by Mr. Stoecklein in his press release and I will let him inform you of any decisions regarding our current deadline.
I want to take this opportunity to respond to several inquiries from shareholders. For some reason I have been getting a large number of phone calls and emails from shareholders wondering why I am not sharing information that they are convinced I have received from the company. This has been a recurring accusation since I offered to represent many of you in the search for information about your stock. Some of you seem convinced that because of my appointment to this Task Force, I am now representing the company. Many of your questions imply that since I now work closely with Don, Bob and Urban I must know the answers to all of your questions or that I should be able to get the answers to all of your questions. I wish it were true folks. I do not represent the company. I represent you, the shareholders. I am delighted that I am in a position to gather this valuable stockholder information. But being on the Task Force has not provided me with increased ability to gain any answers to the major questions which have been concerning most of you for a year or two. I don’t know why the company does not communicate with its shareholders. Is it because of potential criminal charges or SEC oversight? I simply do not know why there is no ongoing communication with you.
I had three emails back to back yesterday saying “Bill can’t you just get us a bone of information about what is really going on?” I have had many conversations with “the company” and I send your emails, complaints and letters to “the company”. One of your fellow shareholders called my office yesterday and wailed at me in a drunken stupor about how long this process is taking. This drunk (my perception because of his slurred speech, his sarcastic demeanor, vulgar language and the total disrespect in his voice) reminded me that I was being ridiculed on the boards because I was being used by the company. After listening to 15 minutes or so of drunken rambling, I ultimately had to hang up on this person because we were busy with our technical problems and other matters. Remember to keep your eyes on the bouncing ball. Your energy should be directed at something that helps your fellow shareholders. In a humorous sort of way, I sometimes feel like I have joined some horribly dysfunctional family that has carried sibling rivalry to new heights. But, my fellow shareholders, we are all in this together. We will prevail.
Onward Oreos,
Bill
Temporary Drilling Delay at Fort a la Corne for Casavant Mining
Kimberlite International
Business Editors
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March. 18, 2009
Casavant Mining Kimberlite International (Pink Sheets: CMKM) regrets to inform its shareholders that the company's exploration efforts in Fort a la Corne have been temporarily set back in their schedule for electro magnetic surveying and the drilling which was to commence late last week.
The delay is from unexpected magnetic storms caused
by "sunspots" or explosions on the sun, as reported by numerous sources recently on the news and Internet.
Scientists observed the biggest explosion in 30 years on Tuesday, which produced a particle cloud 13 times larger than Earth and hurtled through the solar system at more than 1 million miles per hour.
The geomagnetic storm is expected to disrupt communication satellites, television transmissions, GPS navigation and possibly the flow of electricity in some areas.
News from Green Lake
By Aaron Chavel
Progress Staff
Meadow Lake Progress — Allan Moen, the vice-president of Pan Pacific Gem Industries Co. and general manager of the project, feels that the Green Lake area of Saskatchewan has great potential for discovering diamonds but “nobody has spent the time or money to look.”
The Edmonton-based group is now in a consultation phase obtaining permission to drill for samples in a number of areas around Green Lake, Silver Lake and Lowther Lake.
Brad Weiss, Green Lake’s administrator said that the village is “cautiously optimistic about the potential of diamonds located in our area” but that “we don’t want to get people’s hopes up without some concrete clues.”
At a public meeting held March 13 at Green Lake village office, Mark Hutchison, a U.S.-based geologist and president of Trigon GeoServices, told attendees the geological conditions around the lake may be right for finding diamonds but that a number of core samples are needed to know for sure.
“We’ve collected all the clues that we can and now we need to do some drilling.” said Hutchison who is acting as consultant for a private company.
Hutchison said that each drilling site would have a footprint of about eight to 10 square meters and would “try if possible to use existing roads” and that the “impact of diamond exploration is really very minimal compared to other minerals.”
Hutchison said that diamond exploration was a purely mechanical process and used only water and electricity.
Howard Sinclair, a Green Lake resident, said of the meeting. “He (Hutchison) explained himself well at least he’s going to ask people first about what he is doing.”
Sinclair was also pleased to hear that plans to drill through the ice of the lake had been abandoned.
“He’s not going to be destroying the fish,” he said. Originally there were plans to drill through the lake ice in winter but now drilling will take place on land and go under the lake.
Green Lake is one of the deepest lakes in the province and a popular fishing and hunting destination.

Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry Chuck, but I have some bad
news. The donkey died.'"
Chuck replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said," 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Chuck said, "OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with a dead donkey?"
Chuck said, "I'm going to raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Chuck said, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, "What happened with
that dead donkey?"
Chuck said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and
made a profit of $898.00."
The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Chuck said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
Chuck now works for Morgan Stanley.
SAYING GOODBYE TO MOTHER......
We were dressed and ready to go out for the New Years Eve Party. We turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on, covered our pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard. We phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and we opened the front door to leave the house. The cat we put out in the back yard, scoots back into the front door. We didn't want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird. My wife goes out to the taxi, while I went inside to get the cat. The cat runs upstairs, with me in hot pursuit. Waiting in the cab, my wife doesn't want the driver to know that the house will be empty for the night. So, she explains to the taxi driver that I will be out soon, 'He's just going upstairs to say Goodbye to my mother.' A few minutes later, I get into the cab. 'Sorry I took so long,' I said, as we drove away. 'That stupid bitch was hiding under the bed. I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off, so I grabbed her by the neck. Then, I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked! I hauled her fat ass downstairs and threw her out into the back yard! The cab driver hit a parked car. Moral: Make sure your stories match!!

Re: Elo on CIM IPO from RB

Gs8v,
Just a couple of thoughts you may or may not agree with. I don't think the amount of shares will matter if the valuation is there. Remember the comments from the geologist's report on DeBeers 58,000 acres a couple years ago? He stated 40-80 billion and that was for only one viable kimberlite.
$40,000,000,000 / 40,000,000,000 shares = $1.00
$80,000,000,000 / 40,000,000,000 shares = $2.00
IMO, CIM will be the vehicle that develops the most promising claims being held by Dhonau and Koch. According to the TDEM, there are hundreds of anomalies and that includes the "oreo" kimberlite. Add in the uranium claims, zinc claims, possibility of oil, and anything else that's been acquired by CIM and I think we'll have no problem finding an underwriter. My bet is on Smith Barney to handle the IPO. I understand your concern about the number of shares, but if our one million acres has what we think it has, CIM will be amazing.
Thank you for your reply...

Shore Gold's Star at 152 Mt of 14 cpht indicated
2009-02-27 13:18 EST - News Release
Mr. George Read reports
STAR DIAMOND PROJECT: UPDATED NI 43-101 MINERAL RESOURCE - 23 PERCENT INCREASE IN INDICATED TONNES AND CARATS
Shore Gold Inc. has an updated National Instrument 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate for the explored portion of the Star kimberlite (Star), which supersedes the previously published resource estimate. This updated resource estimate includes the diamond results of eight additional large-diameter drillholes: five holes on Star and three holes on Star West, totalling 1,368 metres of drilling with 306 metres in kimberlite. This updated resource estimate also incorporates additional diamonds recovered from concentrate and tailings audits as well as the geology's influence on the diamond distribution within Star. The updated resource estimate has been prepared by an independent qualified person (QP) from P and E Mining Consultants Inc. (P and E). The mineral resource estimate includes indicated resources of 152 million tonnes at a grade of 14 carats per hundred tonnes (cpht) and inferred resources of 26 million tonnes at a grade of 12 cpht. This updated resource estimate increases the indicated tonnage and contained carats for Star by 23 per cent when compared with the initial resource estimate published in Stockwatch on June 9, 2008 (the technical report dated July 22, 2008, is available on SEDAR and the company's website). The tables in this news release summarize the details of the updated NI 43-101 mineral resource as prepared by P and E.
The mineral resource estimate for the Star kimberlite, including the Star diamond project (100 per cent Shore) and Star West (60 per cent Shore, 40 per cent Newmont), reported the following kimberlite units: Cantuar, Pense, Early Joli Fou (EJF), Mid Joli Fou (MJF) and Late Joli Fou (LJF).

The EJF inner and outer kimberlite units are based on detailed kimberlite geology recorded from core logging of the pattern drill program. Core logging information is combined with whole rock geochemistry data, geophysical and density measurements to identify the constituent kimberlite lithologies within Star and their volcanological features that form the Star kimberlite crater. The EJF inner represents coarser-grained EJF kimberlite that occurs within the volcanic cinder cone and the EJF outer includes finer-grained EJF kimberlite that lies on and outside the cinder cone. Underground bulk sampling and large diameter drilling (LDD) have shown that higher grades and larger diamonds are found within the EJF inner kimberlite unit. The underground bulk sampling of the EJF is deemed representative of the EJF inner and also produced an average grade of 17 cpht for the EJF, similar to the resource estimate for the EJF inner kimberlite unit.
An essential component of the mineral resource estimate relies on the reconciliation of the diamond grades from the underground samples with those calculated for the LDD samples. The LDD sampling method underestimates the true diamond grade and price due to limited sample size, diamond breakage, diamond loss and dilution of LDD grade by overburden falling down LDD holes. Detailed analysis of diamond results from LDD and underground bulk sampling has been undertaken and reconciled with kimberlite geology defined by core drilling in order to define rigorously constrained factors that are applied to diamond grade results from LDD.
Canadian Institute of Mining standards and securities commission disclosure regulations require that a resource can only be declared on a mineral deposit which has "reasonable prospects of economic extraction." The reported mineral resource for Star is constrained using a floating-cone economic open pit shell. The mineral resources reported in the first three tables comprise the kimberlite that is constrained within the floating-cone pit shell and exceed the economic cut-off as determined by the parameters in the economic parameters table.
ECONOMIC PARAMETERS

Mining cost $1.34/rock tonne
Processing cost $3.58/ore tonne
General and administration $1.50/ore tonne
Overall pit slope angle 25 degrees
Internal cut-off $5.08/ore tonne
Diamond values for this resource statement are based on the March, 2008, high-modelled prices determined by WWW International Diamond Consultants Ltd. (WWW) and are detailed in the diamond prices table. The high-modelled prices were also used in the June, 2008, resource estimate and the use of the high-modelled prices in this resource update facilitates comparison. The diamond prices used in this resource update will be reassessed for use in the reserve estimate scheduled for completion in late 2009.
A WWW representative states: "It should be noted that current diamond prices have been substantially reduced by the present world financial crisis with rough prices falling from their peak in August, 2008, by around 40 per cent, dependent upon size and quality. That said, and acknowledging the high degree of uncertainty around the diamond market and other commodities, WWW's view of future supply demand fundamentals is positive in relation to current prices. However, we do not see prices returning to March, 2008, levels for some considerable time."

As a test of the sensitivity of the Star resource to market fluctuations, the resource model was also run with the pit shell using the WWW low-and-model-price scenarios. The results suggest that the Star resource is relatively insensitive to moderate diamond price fluctuations. The variations in tonnes, grade and carats for the three WWW diamond-price scenarios are listed in the diamond price sensitivity table.

In addition to the mineral resource estimate determined by P and E, a further 60 to 70 million tonnes of the Star kimberlite is designated a "potential mineral deposit," as detailed core logging, whole rock geochemistry, geophysical and density measurements confirm the geological continuity from the inferred resource into this part of the kimberlite, which is contained within the 276 million tonnes originally defined in the geological model for the Star kimberlite (see the company's news release in Stockwatch on Oct 17, 2006). The 60-to-70-million-tonne potential mineral deposit is conceptual in nature and is not a resource estimate. It is uncertain if additional exploration work would lead to the kimberlite presently included in the potential mineral deposit being upgraded to a resource category.
The Star kimberlite is one of the largest diamond-bearing kimberlites in the world, with a surface area totalling about 352 hectares situated within claims of both the Star diamond project (100 per cent Shore) and the adjacent Fort a la Corne joint venture (60 per cent Shore and 40 per cent Newmont Mining Corporation of Canada Limited, referenced in this news release as "Star West"). The mineral resource estimate prepared by P and E includes kimberlite volume, density and tonnage data collected during the surface and underground core drilling program comprising 285 surface core holes (18,259 metres of kimberlite) and 211 underground core holes (15,933 metres of kimberlite), diamond and tonnage data from underground bulk sampling (66,988.29 dry tonnes, 10,597.58 carats and 81,773 stones) and diamond and tonnage data from the mini-bulk samples recovered from the extensive LDD program on Star (97 holes, 11,495.01 processed tonnes, 1,416.69 carats and 15,987 stones). This resource estimate uses a one-millimetre-bottom diamond size cut-off and considers all kimberlite above 71 metres above sea level or to a depth of 350 metres below surface.
George Read, senior vice-president, exploration and development, states: "The publication of this updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the Star kimberlite is a significant milestone in the evolution of the Star diamond project. This updated resource estimate has increased the carats contained in the indicated resource by 23 per cent and we believe that this increase will have a significant effect on the future economics of the Star diamond project. This updated resource estimate will be used in determining the NI 43-101-compliant mineral reserve estimate for Star. The reserve estimate will include a reasonable estimate of the operating cost and capital of a potential mine at Star. We are on track to deliver the reserve estimate on Star by late 2009."
Shore commissioned the NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate and related technical report for the Star and Star West properties and as such, the technical report is the sole responsibility of Shore. Newmont did not participate in the preparation, supervision or review of the work associated with this exercise and takes no responsibility for the content or information included in the technical report or this press release.
Shore anticipates publication of the technical report as soon as it is available, within the regulated 45-day period after this news release. Shore is the exclusive owner of the Star diamond project. The Star West property is held by the Fort a La Corne joint venture between Shore as the operator and 60-per-cent owner and Newmont as the owner of a 40-per-cent interest.

Sorry... but remember
"The S E C cannot simply KILL this company. That's dictatorial. It will never happen. I always assumed that the S E C was there to protect the public. CMKX is a public company and there are thousands of members of the public that are in it. Therefor the S E C is supposed to still protect them whether it's a good company or not. They cannot be protected if the S E C simply destroys the company. It does not make sense. It would seem to me that the S E C would do the utmost to encourage Mahue or someone of that stature to reorganize the mess and present a new face for S E C approval. Unless the S E C is hiding something or protecting other external entities. This is going to come to a very interesting conclusion eventually."
