Paunch & Chuck & Robert, a question on that 10% vote pledge issue. If we need 10%, and thats 2 million of 20 million, and there are holders of ipmcf stock that have been contacted, but have decided not to support the activity, then I have a concern about questions. (1) Is Dale Runyon of Maxam a big, as in million, ipmcf shareholder. (2) Any employees or directors of IPM hold ipmcf shares. It is none of my business if any of the above hold ipmcf shares, as it is also none of my business what decisions they make, about the share pledge activity, if they do hold ipmcf shares. But, if holding shares in IPM is a matter of public record, then I do want to know the answers to 1 and 2, above. Eventho the decisions made by any in 1 and 2 above, are not for me to be a party to, I do want to know if these people have been contacted in 1 and 2, and if so, the outcome. I do want to know the names in 1 and 2 above, if any hold ipmcf, and have decided not to pledge their shares. My desire to obtain this information is not to ostracize anyone, as if I am the holder of the truth, but to identify the possibility of wrong doing in any possible future criminal investigation into the collape of IPM. We the current shareholders, that have pledged our ipmcf shares, have not accepted the story that has been presented to us by those that do not hold ipmcf shares, but have a mission to help us see the truth, that being that thee are no precious metals in the Black Rock dirt, and thus this has simply been a scam to obtain ivestors money being speculated into plain worthless desert dirt. But we know using simple logic and common sence, that yes the investment money from the current ipmcf share pledging investors has been lost, and some has been lost thru legal ways, and some thru criminal activity. Now, I need answers to above 1 and 2 so that my next guessing and speculating can be determined as having or not having merit. What I say next is simple "seems like" that becomes a "what if", and the conclusion I then make is based on facts that I do not have yet, but may support, and maby in the near future an criminal investigation will support or not. WARNING and NOTE, the following is unsupported facts. IF, and I say IF again because I don't know for sure, but do remember seeing in a post recently, that I have not verified as correct, that Mr. Dale Runyon of Maxam, a desert dirt precious metals company, holds about one million shares of ipmcf, and has decided not to pledge his shares to the activity on this thread. Now it looks as if the number of 10% is not there to force current IPM management to call a type of meeting where they have to disclose information that they are currently hiding from the shareholders thru the wall of silence. So, if true that Dale Runyon of Maxam does hold a million shares, then ofcourse his pledge puts us way over the 10%. So I ask myself the question, if this is true, then why not. And I have to explore the concept of the dark forces mentioned here, sometimes in zest and sometime not. Lets say that the dark forces are really behind the IPM collapse. I have outlined this in many past posts on this thread. Now lets say the dark forces do not want information inside IPM to be made public thru the 10% share pledge. So, for example, focus on the maby if true million Dale Runyon of Maxam holds. How to keep this man from pledging his million when for all knowned common sence reasons its money that can be lost unless one tries to save it ? But, at this time no pledge of the million. So what reason ? Maby Dale Runyon of Maxam decided to protect a director of IPM that he has as a good friend, and this moe important than money lost. But something, to me, funny is happening with the Maxam company, which I am a current shareholder of 5,000 mxam shares. Remember the history of IPM, where it seemed like bad luck and mixed up and poor management and over and over things just continued to drag IPM into a mess, and thusly the stock share price falls. Guess what has recently been happening to the Maxam Company in the last weeks. Yep, you guess it, these types of things. Crasy, no? Gee, almost as if the dark force left IPM as a done deal dead, and now on to the next desert dirt SCAM. We all know Maxam is not a scam, but gee, the stock price is near IPM's and falling. Looks like might be, no? So here is the "what if" I said I would do. What if Dale Runyon WAS to pledge his million ipmcf, but in the dark of the raining night, from the gloomy clouds dropped this silence and black as indian ink, hellocopper, and off it these men in black suits told Dale Runyon of Maxam, "...we will IPM your company, but hold off on its total collapse, and just let it hang by a thread. Now just so you don't pledge you ipmcf shares, then when IPM bites the desert dust, then we will take away the IPM'ing type stuff and let Maxam recover." So, I need the answers to 1 and 2 above. Especially to 1 for the Maxam connection. Doug |
