Mensa Mining Corp (EQBM)

[AHOWS]

HEREis the ramblings of a mad investor,and the response from Mr.Daly's office, SEC:

Mr. A. Howard Smith
[e-mail]

Dear Mr. Smith:

Thank you for your e-mail to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and for
taking the time to alert us to your concerns in regard to the SEC’s suspension
of trading in shares of 35 companies, including Equitable Mining Corp., which
you sent as a result of your reading a bulletin board posting of the SEC’s
response to another investor on this matter.

Similarly, we welcome your comments because they help us to regulate and enforce
the laws that assure fair and orderly securities markets. We maintain a
database of information about the complaints and inquiries we receive. This
database allows us to track whether a troubling situation may be developing
about a particular issue, company, broker, stock, or other securities product.
The information you have provided will be reflected in our database.

In my e-mail to the investor who posted my response, I made reference to the
SEC's investigative policy. As to this policy, please understand that the SEC
generally conducts its investigations on a confidential basis and neither
confirms nor denies the existence of an investigation unless we bring charges
against someone involved. We do this to protect the integrity and effectiveness
of our investigative process and to preserve the privacy of the individuals and
entities involved. As a result, we are not able to provide investors with any
future updates on the status of their complaint or of any pending SEC
investigation. An investigation becomes public when the SEC files an action in
court or in its internal administrative process. The SEC publishes news
releases about its lawsuits and administrative actions, and the news media often
report on them. You can find information about public enforcement actions on
our website (http://www.sec.gov/litigation.shtml).

We know this policy can be frustrating, but, again, it protects the integrity
and effectiveness of our investigative process and preserves the privacy of the
individuals and entities involved. In sum, then, the SEC's response at this
time is limited to the trading suspension release
(http://www.sec.gov/litigation/suspensions/2007/34-55420.pdf) and the related
press release (http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2007/2007-34.htm) the SEC issued on
this matter on 030807.

I have passed your concerns on to the people at the SEC who specialize in the
issues you’ve raised. If they have any questions or wish to respond directly to
you, they will contact you.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to write to us.

Sincerely,

Jim Daly
U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission

Subject: EQBM AND OPERATION SPAM-ALOT

HELLO MR. DALY: I HAVE ALREADY READ ONE LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO AN INVESTOR
FRIEND OF MINE TODAY ABOUT THE SUPPOSED ACTIONS OF EQBM(EQUITABLE MINING CO.--PI
NK SHEETS) FROM YOUR OFFICE. HOW DO WE GET THE TRUTH???THE SEC HAS TURNED
COMMUNIST AND IS TREATING COMPANIES AS AN OFFENDER BEFORE PROVEN SO.I BELONG TO
A MESSAGE BOARD AND WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS STOCK WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION
FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND THE SEC WILL BE CRUSHING IT UNDER IT BIG BOOT WHEN IT
IS THE NAKED SHORTERS THAT HAVE BROUGHT US TO THIS SPOT. YOU MAY HAVE A GAG
ORDER GOING AND REFUSE TO GIVE OUT INFO BUT WE ARE GOING TO OUR CONGRESSIONAL
REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT YOU UNDERHANDED DEEDS. THERE ARE MORE CONSTRUCTIVE WAYS TO
HANDLE THESE MATTERS. I AGREE, THAT SPAM IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE TO DEAL WITH ,SO
GET THE SPAMMERS!!!! DON'T CRUSH US. I HAVE 60,000 IN THIS COMPANY AND YOU HAVE
JUST CUT OFF MY HEAD. HOW CAN I FEED MY FAMILY IF YOU DEAL THIS WAY
INDISCRIMINATELY INSTEAD OF GETTING ALL THE FACTS FIRST. THERE ARE ABOUT 80 OF
US ON THE IHUB -EQBM MESSAGE BOARD,AND WE OWN THE WHOLE FLOAT!!!BUT THERE ARE AT
LEAST 118MILLION SHARES THAT ARE NAKED SHORTED AND WHEN ,NOW BECAUSE OF THE
SUSPENSION WE WILL BE THROWN TO THE WOLVES ON THE GREY SHEETS TO BE BATTERED AND
BEATUP AND ROBBED BY THE VERY ONES THAT CAUSED THE MESS IN THE FIRST
PLACE...MARKET MAKERS AND HEDGE FUNDS.
IN SHORT ,I COULD WRITE SO MUCH MORE HOW THAT I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MOSTLY
BECAUSE OF A BRIBE TO TAKE AWAY VALUE FROM THE COMPANY JUST AS WE WERE STARTING
TO GET SOME MOMENTUM FROM VARIOUS ACQUISITIONS OF THE COMPANY AND OTHER THINGS
THAT THE CONGRESSIONAL REPS. CAN LOOK INTO .BUT IF THE FACTS ARE KNOWN THIS WILL
PROBUALLY JUST GET DELETED ON YOUR END...I GOT A COPY, AND MY SENATOR WILL HAVE
