JMHO - We've got off track

[ADVENTURE]

I must admit I have been a way from the boards for some time and things really seem to have changed. It’s amazing how many faithful have departed the ranks leaving the boards and possibly CMKX and some have crossed over and began to bash. I guess the long silent period along with information that has been gathered by others without company explanation is kind of wearing on all involved. None of us expected there would be such a long silent period with so much going on. I would only say that in my years of experience there is always more to the numbers and reports that are recorded than meets the eye. Everything with CMKX, including the reports and documents that are being circulated, has more to them than meets the eye.

Many have wondered where I have been. I have been busy working with the Katrina situation and many other things as well, but I want to take this opportunity to say “thank you” to everyone that has contributed or given of their selves to assist the victims of this catastrophic event. We are all feeling the effects of Katrina’s impact and unfortunately it will continue to affect us for a few years to come.

I am writing this because I was recently asked an interesting question by certain individuals that are, let’s say, very close to the CMKX situation. First off, I found it strange that I would be contacted and queried since I had chosen to draw away from the boards and Pal Talk. The question was multi faceted and this is a generalized version of that question: what, in my opinion, would be a favorable move for management to take to remedy the NSS, give the MM’s an alternative, serve the best interests of the shareholders {legit and NSS}, raise the PPS to an acceptable level to apply to an exchange, generate revenue for the company to further develop the assets, establish a time line for covering and completion, etc… This didn't sound like a question from individuals trying to run away or hide, IMHO.

I will not disclose what my answer was in case a decision is made to go along with any of my suggestions. I hesitate to share along these lines and I will try to be brief as possible as I am sure some may remember I can get a little long worded at times.

I will begin by saying that although I have been away from the boards I have not been out of the communication loop that I have enjoyed all along. I have never said all I knew, but only all I could and now is no different. Remember that these are only my opinions and I do ask that you treat them as such.

The main thought on my mind is that there is a remedy at hand and hopefully Mr. Casavant and Mr. Maheu with the assistance of Mr. Stoecklein will be or has been able to achieve complete success. My thanks to Mr. Maheu and his involvement with CMKX as we will all eventually, IMHO, owe him considerably for his efforts. Beyond the current 40,000 dollars a month he is receiving.

I am hopeful that Mr. Casavant has been successful in his discussions of late with certain entities, and I believe he has been. Many have no idea what the “PLAN” is, but I believe the generalities of it has been obvious for some time, it is just a matter of whether they are able to pull it off or not. From the beginning of CMKX’s regulatory woes, Mr. Maheu and Mr. Casavant have stated that they were not going to let the regulatory issues divert their attention away from their primary goals of claiming new lands, strategic drilling activities, and developing the assets currently in our possession. Some have played Mr. Maheu off as a “name” CMKX is using and nothing more. They could not be further from the truth, but only time will reveal it.

The regulatory woes have been the breaking point for most CMKXers with others falling victim to newly discovered documents, reports, and individual’s interpretation of what they all mean. Some have apparently even decided to pursue possible legal actions against the company as though this will some how fix things to some degree or allow some to salvage what they can before it’s too late. I will simply state my position that litigation against the company is and should be out of the question and is not the solution.

Whether anyone still acknowledges it or not we have a huge NSS position being held by the market on CMKX and I believe the temporary solution for many could come by continuing to press that issue. It seems strange that when we are on the verge of proving a NSS position and bringing the market to task to resolve the outstanding NSS position that documents begin to surface trying to shine a negative light on the management of CMKX. What mainly did this accomplish? It took the forward pressure that CMKXers and the OG had made up to that time pertaining to the demand for the resolution and exposure of the NSS issues of CMKX by the SEC and the SRO’s on a detour that caused many to end up on the wrong side of the tracks and asking for the companies head on a platter.

The NSS resolution is still a plus for all of us if we will see it through. Asset wise, we just recently had the reports by United Carina about our percentages in UCA, we have the American Mine Shaft, plus the other mineral rights that we reportedly have secured in Saskatchewan. Aside from all of that there is more. First I think we have to get over the issues about what the company did, who did it, how they did it, and why they did it, because it is holding us back from executing a temporary solution for generating value for us. I personally don’t care “at this point” if there is 703 billion shares outstanding, nor that they apparently were sold into the market place either directly or indirectly by CMKX or by a third party with restrictions removed. Yes it sucks. On the surface this could qualify CMKX as being a pump and dump, but where is the fatal “reverse split” of 10,000 to 1 or even a 1,000 to one? It isn’t there. Why wouldn’t they just go away as a failed mineral exploration company? It happens almost every day. Don’t think that 50,000 shareholders are keeping them from going away, not now.

I determined that I can’t change what has been sold into the market, or why it was sold into the market, or who sold it into the market and neither can anyone else. One thing that selling did for us, was that it convinced the MM’s that CMKX was a pump and dump and they naked shorted the fire out of it, “To Da Moon”. My professional friends have assured me that the NSS position on CMKX is between 2.2 trillion and 3.7 trillion shares.

Secondly, if we had no other assets, and I fully believe we do, the pressure that has been generated by the company issuing the share dividends from USCA, GEMM, and CIM, along with work by the OG has locked us into the driver’s seat to FORCE the market to cover and generate a high level PPS whether regulators help us or not. This is why it is not good that we have been side tracked by all of the documents and accusations over he did, she did, they did, OH MY. It may appear to be helpful or great DD, but I think at this point it is only distracting us from achieving our immediate goals of generating shareholder value.

I think the company is for real, in spite of performance, delays, blunders, and much more… and I intend to be around for the resolutions of the NSS, acquisitions, and asset developments of the future.

I believe the facts remain that if the company never had a single asset and if the company never did another thing productive, we could still help ourselves because many of us own shares that can’t be legally supplied by the market system because they are Naked Short. Pursuing the resolution of the NSS position is the most direct way for us to help ourselves and this is definitely one thing the company seemed eager to cooperate with us to accomplish. I think we need to get back on track and let the company work to resolve the regulatory issues if it can, continue to develop old assets and claim new ones while we put pressure on the market place in a united effort to win this thing once and for all. The whining has to stop.

I have said it before and I will say it again, if the regulatory issues end in a revocation, it is not over for us by any means. I think we need to regroup pick up the momentum that we had on the NSS resolution and run with it. I believe it is a win, win situation.

These are just my opinions and I ask that you treat them as such.

My thanks to all of you that are helping out on the boards especially those that are trying to keep CMKXers dreams alive. We have great potential if we will only allow ourselves to realize it.

Be well.

8-)Just a few personal thoughts regarding not so much as what Dr. D said, but rather how some received it....

Dr. D has always and still does his best to provide positive and inspirational information to the faithful, even when he was low on faith that we were in a win-win situation. For that, he has my utmost respect as a man of continuity for his comments and his integrity, for remaining true to his convictions. Obviously a lesson that some failed to realize was there all the time.

I've read the comments of those who responded on other board(s) and quite frankly, I'm amazed that Dr.D even bothers posting there.

Rather than berate an issue, I will add the following regarding the various responses to his most recent posting.....

Regardless of whether Dr.D was providing real or an opinion on CMKX information, it stands to reason that the fact he has not gone to the dark side on CMKX, a fact that obviously irritates some people on other boards.

These repetitious caustic one liners and other BS which were quickly flung against Dr.D, or which are flung for that matter, against anyone who tries to post something intelligent and positive on what is an otherwise dismal, confusing situation, really just gives me a case of the "kiss my a** you "moron" syndrome.

I'm not so much defending the good Doc, if he feels the need, which I doubt, to respond, I'm sure he will. I'm more irritated at the people who claim to be so fed up with CMKX, that they can't find solace even in a positive CMKX post and or even when an off topic subject is posted / shared among members...my question is then why in the hell do you bother sticking around?

Of courses I said in a post which I deleted, the answer is obvious and a very simple one...they are idiots who are with extremely low self esteem. They simply enjoy wallowing in their self pity and want our company.

Epictetus (AD 55–135), a stoic philosopher, said………

"Small-minded people habitually reproach each other for their own misfortunes.

Those who are dedicated to a life of wisdom understand that the impulse to blame someone or something is foolishness.

The more we examine our attitudes and work on ourselves, the less we are apt to be swept away by stormy emotional reactions in which we seek easy explanations for unbidden events."

What a waste of effort on the part of anyone who is or has attempted to impart knowledge, information, comfort and or guidance.

I guess my real sentiments regarding those who whine and bash and can't stand to see anything positive, is best summed up as follows…..

“Trying to save someone from their own stupidity is like trying to teach a pig how to dance: it wastes your time, and annoys the pig.”

Okay, I 'm ready for a pis*ing contest, any takers?

This in no way intended or attempts to deter from my sentiments stated in my original comments regarding what Dr. D posted.

I have simply added some after thoughts which I feel are relevant many because of the reaction by some over his initial post, which apparently caused some problems...but then it didn't at least from my personal perspective.....

People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities and beliefs in many social and intellectual domains....This overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do they reach an often erroneous conclusion and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the meta-cognitive ability to realize it.

As a day trader, one must stop deluding oneself with magical thinking, if you plan to remain consistent with your winnings. Magical thinking when it becomes the basis for decision making, quickly kills rhyme, reason and logic in favor of a Dr. Phil “feel good” approach…Get real and grow up and accept the obvious fact that self-deception while it is a normal part of human life, it is needed, but shouldn't’t dominate every aspect of your lifestyle.

Self –deception is a process or a fact of misleading ourselves to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid. In this way we justify the otherwise false beliefs to ourselves and we can exist within the “defined parameters of society.”

One only needs to review how self-deception works, to understand that it focuses on exclusively on self-interest, prejudice, desire, insecurity, and other psychological factors to form an unconsciously negative pattern, which if allowed, affects you to the extent that you will accept the negative way as a valid belief system.

For example, a common example would be that of a parent who believes his child is telling the truth even though the objective evidence strongly supports the claim that the child is lying.

The parent, it is said, deceives him or herself into believing the child because the parent desires that the child tell the truth. A belief so motivated is usually considered more flawed than one due to lack of ability to evaluate evidence properly. The former is considered to be a kind of moral flaw, a kind of dishonesty, and irrational. The latter is considered to be a matter of fate: some people are just not gifted enough to make proper inferences from the data of perception and experience.

However, it is possible that the parent in the above example believes the child because he or she has intimate and extensive experience with the child but not with the child's accusers. The parent may be unaffected by unconscious desires and be reasoning on the basis of what he or she knows about the child but does not know about the others involved. The parent may have very good reasons for trusting the child and not trusting the accusers. In short, an apparent act of self-deception may be explicable in purely cognitive terms without any reference to unconscious motivations or irrationality.

The self-deception may be neither a moral nor an intellectual flaw. It may be the inevitable existential outcome of a basically honest and intelligent person who has extremely good knowledge of his or her child, knows that things are not always as they appear to be, has little or no knowledge of the child's accusers, and thus has not sufficient reason for doubting the child.

It may be the case that an independent party could examine the situation and agree that the evidence is overwhelming that the child is lying, but if he or she were wrong we would say that he or she was mistaken, not self-deceived. We consider the parent to be self-deceived because we assume that he or she is not simply mistaken, but is being irrational. How can we be sure?

Maybe the following will help make it clear the tendencies, which we must be on guard against.
1. misperceived random data and see patterns where there are none;
2. misinterpreted incomplete or unrepresentative data and give extra attention to confirmatory data while drawing conclusions without attending to or seeking out opposing confirmatory data;
3. make biased evaluations of ambiguous or inconsistent data, tending to be uncritical of supportive data and very critical of unsupported data.

It is because of these tendencies that some hard core fallen believers turned skeptics, now require clearly defined, controlled, double-blind, randomized, repeatable, publicly presented information / data on CMKX activity. For that I can’t blame them, even as a believer I still require data meet or exceed that standard…lol

This is not a bad thing, confirmation of a source otherwise, we would all run a great risk of deceiving ourselves and believing things that are not true (sound familiar?)

It is also because of the described tendencies, that in our trying to establish or assign some viable belief value to data, that I would caution some members to actually consider what the established DDers say, or don’t say on a given bit of information / data.

I know for myself, when something is presented, with the exception of just a few people, I will do my own DD to ascertain its validity. In this way, I choose to make a distinction as to whether it’s a blatant lie, or simply an over exuberant misrepresentation made without any real value or redeeming merit. Usually, for the sake of sanity on the boards and to avoid dissension, I will often refrain form commenting. Why?

Simply because anything that hits these boards has a very limited shelf life and we all have a limited attention span for non related “Are we rich yet” news. Why would I bother prolonging the shelf life on anything that may be of questionable validity? It only creates confusion and ill will. However, I do make a critical assessment of the individual making the posting and try to discern their motivation.

IMHO, self-deception is not necessarily the evil that we all think it is as a weakness of will, it may simply be just a matter of ignorance, laziness, or cognitive incompetence.

Then again, we could assume that self-deception may at times even be beneficial. I mean really Guys, if we were too brutally honest and objective about our own abilities and about life in genera, we might become debilitated by depression….and complete peer alienated functionaries…… lol
