When I was preparing for writing this blog, one of the things I did was go back through a number of things that were written and I posted back in the day. If you don’t know my background, I wandered into BondLady’s Corner one day almost by accident and met a group of people who were very grounded and functional in their approach to this investment. I did research and transposed most of the calls to relay to the room and made some really great friends. From there I was asked into a couple other rooms and made more friends until several of us founded the 3S site. It was an amazing experience getting to know people and listen to their situations all the time hoping this investment would solve all our problems. But with every good thing, there were forces that always try to squeeze themselves into the situation for personal gain. Dinar sellers came to us and offered to advertise by paying in dinar, but we refused and saw that this was becoming more and more the norm and we weren’t there for personal gain. We never monetized the site nor capitalized by advertising. In looking through some past things I found this post I made on October 7, 2013. It’s sad that it’s held up for over 10 years and we’re still here, listening to the same comments. Maybe some try to sell it with a glass of whiskey or a kitschy background, but it’s still the same. I believe in the investment, I just don’t believe in some of the people who would have you think they have your best interest in mind.
posted 10/7/2013 -BWM- It’s so easy in the day to day “miraculous” postings to get lost in the FACT that we’ve heard this all before… many times. Let me begin by saying some of these comments will be neither popular nor as remarkable as they sounded the first time someone posted them. But at this time in our venture I feel it is necessary to address so that while you remain hopeful you don’t get lost in the repeated rhetoric. For some new to the dinar you may say, “I don’t understand”. If you have ever seen or heard the financial commercials you should be familiar with the disclaimer “PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING DINAR CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. PEOPLE CAN AND DO LOSE MONEY. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.” Now someone long ago thought of the original statement as a way to “cover” themselves from liability. Much the way today we get the “treat as rumor” because ppl still are afraid of the legal wranglings that could occur against them. In fact, there are several ‘guru’ types that have litigation against them for fraudulent activities in courts across this land at this very moment. So why do they risk continuing to post? Ego, the “rush”, ignorance, or the idea that they are “above it all”? Who knows but the FACT of the matter is, that nothing, and I mean nothing stops them from posting. No matter how many times you hear them say, “this is it, the last post I’ll ever make” or “I’ve been told to stop posting by a 3 letter agency” within 48 hours there they are again… spewing the madness that “nothing will stop them from delivering the truth” because they are there to “help you”. Well my friends the truth is simple, their information is bad and they haven’t helped you do anything. Just a couple of weeks ago, I had a bit of information from someone I trusted so I called one of the gurus who said, “we’d be at the banks by the next morning”. Now I shared with them this information before 10:00am in the morning of the DAY BEFORE they said we’d be at the banks. Not only did they still call it for the morning, but for two more times that day AFTER it didn’t show at the banks that morning. In fact, I have shared with them for over two consecutive weeks that it would not happen each day. Now, the only reason I tell you this is because this person posted every day they called it that they received NO BAD NEWS. So, not only was their information bad, but they lied about what information they shared. The old saying from “mama” is, “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice” well, you get the idea. Folks, we have been fooled long enough. For those that have played the reserve game how many dollars have you wasted because you “bought into” the “it’s going down tonight” story that was posted in every skype room and came in every update email you opened. How many have sold off their physical dinar to play the reserve game in hopes of more money. I fear far too many if they would truly admit it. And through all this their whole pitch has been that they are “there to help you”. What possible “help” is the information they have shared about timing been to you? Ask yourself that and think. No matter how far “ahead of the curve” they want to tell you they are NOTHING ON TIMING HAS BEEN OF A SINGLE BIT OF ASSISTANCE TO YOU. So they tell you they are there to “help” you. Do any of these quotes sound familiar or helpful?
Hey [..XXXXXXXXXX] I sure could use some good news, before I leave for work this morning
[..XXXXXXXXXX] –QUIT YOUR JOB
[XXXXXXX] You remember last week when I said that I was 99.9% sure that this was going to happen. So this time, I am telling you that I am 99.9999999999999%. I can’t be 100% until it actually does
[XXXX] IN THE MOSQUES TODAY IN IRAQ they shared the Currency announcement.
[XXXXXXX] Not going be, not tomorrow, IS NOW!
[XXXXXX] I AM CALLING IT! WE HAVE AN RV!
[XXXXXX] I have excellent connections at a number of large Gov’t organizations that we were within 24 hours this morning.
If these don’t sound familiar to you then you haven’t been in this long enough because every one of these posts is FROM OVER 2 YEARS AGO. And yes, every one of these posters has called or posted similar things in the LAST 2 WEEKS. I’ve come to the realization that you can’t be mad at the gurus. After all, they’re consistent, they haven’t changed, they still spew the same news or excuses. It’s our fault for tuning in. I asked myself almost a year ago, if I really knew exactly when this was happening would I do things differently? My immediate response is “of course”. But after further reflection, in MY situation, no there’s really nothing more I could do. I can’t afford to buy any more currency and I still have to attempt to pay my bills on time. And I know the temptation has been real, and in some cases reality, for someone to put off paying a bill to buy a reserve or more physical currency based on when someone told them it was happening. Maybe your situation is different but I decided a long time ago that no dinar would be bought with ANY monthly budgeted income. Now, I don’t have as much dinar as I originally had planned, BUT I have managed, with a lot of prayer and help from others, to stay barely afloat. And some months have been much worse than others like I’m sure it has been for everyone and this has tested many individual and family’s fortitude. But the truth is that regardless of this happening a day or week or year from now, life will go on around us. I have spent much of the nearly last 5 years privately laying out my plan and discussing tidbits of those hopefully thought-provoking moments in classrooms and chats on the boards. I’ve had to make adjustments for this or that but the basic plan has remained the same and I still anxiously await the opportunity to put that plan into action. But until I can exchange my foreign currency for United States dollars in an amount that will allow me to capitalize on that plan, nothing anyone tells me about it happening “suddenly” or being at the “point of no return” is going to change me doing what I need to do. And I’m very deliberate when I say the word “need”. Have there been days where I “wanted” to get excited about the news? Well sure, and I know that everyone doesn’t have contacts to be able to query about the going’s on behind the scenes. But about the going’s on behind the scenes. But look at it this way, does it look like it’s done any of us any good? No. The best “calls” that I have had was speaking directly to a source in regards to information about my personal financial plan. Ppl that could or will be able to help me once this is done. Ppl that have viable, factual information that pertains directly to me and my family’s long term goals. One of the sayings is “take with a grain of salt”, well, after all this time there are days where I feel as though I’m living in a salt mine at the least. Now I know there will be those that say, “shame on you” for blaspheming the gurus who work so hard to bring us information. Really? The main reason they “work so hard” is to keep the traffic going on their site so that they can maintain their site value to be able to charge higher advertising rates. Don’t believe me? Type in your favorite dinar site here http://www.how-much-is-my-websiteworth. info/ and see what you get. The problem is like most “intel” it’s not reality either. If you look up the same site at this address http://www.urlappraisal.net/ you’ll get a completely different answer (probably much lower). You and I have heard more than a couple post what their site was “worth”? What’s this prove? Well, it’s perception and basis. Someone asked me the other day “well what if 8 ppl told you the sky was blue and 2 ppl told you the sky was pink, who would you believe?” My perception is different. If I looked at that question my thought would be “well who was correct?” I’m not willing to accept the ‘theory’ of when this will happen with my family’s generational wealth at stake. The basis isn’t what IS going to be because we don’t know, we plan for all viable probabilities… by the way, as I awoke the next morning there was a serious pink haze to the sky as the tropical storm was toying to the sky as the tropical storm was toying with the atmosphere. I made sure to pass that along. Everyone should have goals and plans as to what you hope to accomplish with the expected revalue of the currency. My own personal plan includes many different options (which originally were based on a low, medium and high rate) that have evolved over the last few years. Do I believe in some of the wild numbers that have been tossed around about rates? Absolutely NOT. Would I adjust my plans if I was wrong? Dang right I would. But my plan was always to base on the lowest possible number I needed and work from there. Again, I go back to a term I used last paragraph, generational wealth. My goal is to make sure that none of the hardships I have had to endure with financial circumstances befall my children or their children but to TEACH them how to manage and make the money WORK for them. That’s where I’ve spent my time “working” for others because regardless of the timing… I will be ready. In closing, my personal moment of decision came a couple of months ago when I decided that it was time that I demand accountability from the only person who I could make listen to me… ME. I demanded from myself to take that frustration from things I knew were wrong but couldn’t control and funnel it into motivation for things I could accomplish. So yes, I’m ready, I’m waiting and I’m resigned to the FACT knowing when it’s NOT going to happen is something I can work with but not many ppl will believe even the day after. I can answer one of the two biggest question. Yes, this IS really going to happen. But nobody telling me “I’ll be at the bank in the morning” will make this move any faster or change my plan. Be confident in the fact that you made a good decision with the Dinar. Don’t let some guru’s “confidence” drag you down because their timing hasn’t been good. A good motto is be prepared with hope but without expectation. And above all remember… Wealth begins with a deposit slip, or several hundred coffee cans full of cash.
I post this in the hope that you understand that the dinar cannot be your “plan”. Some of us that have been in for 15+ years have wasted time and money hoping it would be. The dinar can be an option, but you need more than one option to be successful. While I always hope the last thing I post about the dinar will be my last time to be seen, I remain diligent to keep in mind I only have so much time on Earth, don’t waste it!
