No More "Talking" About it . . .
The Time For Action Has Arrived!

I Will Not Allow You to Miss One of the Biggest Cash Grabs of a Lifetime!

In fact, I want to send you a 100% FREE Report Revealing How to Bank $24,538 or $19,743 in a Single Day While You Leave Wall Street Begging for Mercy . . .

Dear Newsmax Reader,

I just threw out two admittedly lofty numbers above. I'm guessing that immediately made you a bit skeptical.

A completely understandable sentiment, but I assure you that I'm not pulling your leg.

Those are two absolutely real, one-day paychecks I have collected by implementing my custom stock market action plan. To be honest, I've made 6-figures in a single day from it, but if I plastered that type of success up above, you probably wouldn't have made it even this far in this letter.

Let me be completely straightforward with you . . . realistically it would take you a couple of years to build up to the 6-figure-in-a-day level of success I achieve using what I have to show you for FREE today.

But would you be happy making an extra $300 . . . $1,500 . . . maybe even $5,000 a day? And when the market strikes just the right way, serious money like $24,538 or $19,743 over a 24-hour period.

I'm not a big talker. I deal with reality. And today I want to give you the reality of financial independence.

In fact, to prove it, I want to send you a report describing this almost ridiculous opportunity right now . . . claim your copy here!

But, before we go any further, I have a couple quick questions for you . . .

If I told you that using a very simple stock strategy, you could make the figures stated above ($24,538 or $19,743 in one day) safely . . . would you allow me a few minutes of your time?

And what if I told you that you could learn about this "trick" for free . . . Wouldn't that be an even better proposition?

Obviously . . .

Before I go on, I want to warn you upfront, what I'm about to reveal to you will mean you have to reclaim money from the very same people who robbed Americans of trillions of dollars when the market went down the drain over the last couple of years.

I don't want you to hand out any tissues . . . No need to shed any tears. This is no pity party you are throwing for Wall Street. The days of those so-called "insiders" making millions off the destruction of your wealth is over. It's time to turn the tables and exact your revenge . . . while you rake in a boatload of cash too, of course!

Today, I want to show you how to use a simple and low risk technique for manipulating the markets for your own personal gain! And because you are a loyal Newsmax reader, I'm going to reveal it to you at no cost! Grab your copy of this insanely valuable report here!

My name is Adam Mesh I'm a self-made market millionaire. I didn't get rich from swindling investors . . . I didn't make my fortune by ruining a company and then asking for a 7-figure bonus check . . . and I'm certainly no trust fund baby. I made my money the exact same way you did . . . with hard work and perseverance.

But instead of beating my own drum today, I'm here to deliver you the keys to a massive financial windfall.

It Was Like an Awakening!

It was the day I realized that my "method" for dominating the stock markets was easily transferable to any investor - from "green" beginner to Wall Street pro.

I remember the day as if it was yesterday. In reality it was a few years ago.

But first, a little back-story . . .

In my career, I excelled at playing the markets right below the radar, trying to stay unknown to everyone but a small circle of investors. But even with my "stealth" efforts, I had made a bit of a name for myself on Wall Street. I started to draw attention to myself because I had a habit of consistently beating down so-called "stock market wizards" . . . and making my inner circle of clients a serious windfall of money along the way.

Regardless of how low you try to keep your profile, that kind of success generally causes the eyebrows of the most powerful investors (the ones with the influence) to rise.

How can this "outsider" keep beating the "insiders" to the punch?

Was the general sentiment, "How did an "Average Joe" learn the closely guarded secrets to banking one big profit play after another?"

(Hint: Today you are going to find out! You can get a jumpstart here . . . )

Word of my financial exploits spread so fast that Fortune Magazine caught wind and issued a challenge to me. And that brought me to that fateful day.

Fortune Magazine wanted to see me live and in action. To see if I could live up to the hype. So they shadowed my every move, literally watching over my shoulder as I cashed a $19,743 payout in one day using an incredibly simple and efficient strategy I've crafted over the years. And today I'm going to give you the opportunity to put me and my unique methodology into action for you. I have one single goal of recharging your investment portfolio and life savings. But I'm not going to try to persuade you. You need to make this decision for yourself and the future of your wealth.

If you'd like to read a 100% FREE report revealing how in 5 minutes you can implement the exact same strategy I used to SAFELY bank $19,743 in one day . . . go here!

Obviously I'm not much of a secret anymore. If you are a close follower of the markets, chances are you've seen me on CNBC's "Squawk Box," CNN, The Today Show, Trader Magazine or any of my numerous public appearances.

But what I have to reveal in the report you are one click from receiving is something I've shown to only a select few. It's basically a step-by-step manual for every penny I've ever made trading.

And because of my close relationship with Newsmax, I've agreed to give it to you for free.

Take a few seconds to get this copy sent to you right now . . . it could very well be your ticket to the greatest payout of your life.

To Your Success,


Adam Mesh

P.S. - After you download your copy of the report, I ask that you not forward it to anyone. The last thing we want is everybody learning this wealth-building secret. Once the cat is out of the bag, so to speak . . . a lot of your profit opportunity will be gone. So hurry and get your copy now!

1. Trump Explains Pro-life Conversion

Donald Trump says he changed his view from pro-choice to pro-life after a couple he was close to decided to give birth to a child rather than have an abortion.

In an interview on The Brody File website, correspondent David Brody told Trump, who says he is seriously considering running for president in 2012: "Evangelicals do want to feel secure that they're going to have a nominee that's going to at least be solid on those issues, those social issues. Someone that's not just going to cut and move on."

Trump responded: "One thing about me, I'm a very honorable guy. I'm pro-life, but I changed my view a number of years ago. One of the reasons I changed — one of the primary reasons — a friend's wife was pregnant, in this case married. She was pregnant, and he didn't really want the baby.

"He was crying as he was telling me the story. He ends up having the baby, and the baby is the apple of his eye. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to him. And here's a baby that wasn't going to be let into life. And I heard this, and some other stories, and I am pro-life."

Brody asked, "So those stories did change you, they came around and changed you?"

Trump responded, "Yeah, they changed my view as to that, absolutely."

Trump said in a recent Newsmax interview that he's mulling a White House run because he hates "what's happening to this country."

2. Fidel's Daughter Fights Oppression in Cuba

Back in 1993, a Cuban dissident boarded a plane in Havana disguised as a Spanish tourist, with a wig and a fake passport, and flew to Spain to escape the tyranny in Cuba.

But Alina Fernandez-Revuelta isn't just another Cuban dissident — she is Fidel Castro's daughter.

Now she lives in Miami and is dedicated to one crusade: Educating Americans about the injustices of the Cuban regime. And she is about to see her life unfold on the big screen in "Castro's Daughter," a film based on a screenplay by Oscar-winner Bobby Moresco ("Crash") and Pulitzer Prize-winner Nilo Cruz.

Fernandez-Revuelta, 55, lives alone in a house near Miami's Little Havana, and works part-time as a medical researcher at a local hospital. But her main focus is on her hour-long weeknight radio show, "Simply Alina" in English, which features her commentary, news about Cuba, and guests from across the Cuban-American community.

She also delivers anti-Castro speeches at universities and other institutions.

"It's my duty, maybe part of the obligation I have because of who I am," she told Fox News Latino.

She also said living in the Cuban exile capital of the world "has been the hardest experience in my life because it's living with the victims of your own family, your own flesh and blood."

Mauricio Claver-Carone, chairman of the U.S. Cuba Democracy PAC, said, "The impact she's had has been tremendous in terms of educating the American public about the reality and injustice of the Cuban regime — but it's difficult for her because it's still her father."

Fernandez-Revuelta does not speak by phone with her mother, Natalia Revuelta, who had an affair with Fidel Castro three years before he came to power in 1959 and still lives in Cuba.

"My family caused so much damage to people walking around here [in Miami] every day," she said. "It's taken me several years to get over those guilty feelings."

3. Moshe Arens Warns of 'False Alarm' on Palestine Statehood

Former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Moshe Arens warns that the Jewish state should not overreact to a threatened declaration of Palestinian statehood by the United Nations.

With U.S.-led peace talks stalled, the Palestinians have launched a campaign to seek international recognition of Palestinian statehood, and have indicated they might seek recognition from the General Assembly in the fall.

In an article published in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Arens notes that some in Israel are demanding that the country launch a "daring initiative" before the "political tsunami" of a statehood declaration strikes Israel in the fall.

But in his article headlined "Israel must not succumb to false diplomatic alarms," Arens — who also served as Israel's defense minister — writes, "States have never been created by U.N. declarations and never will be. For those who have forgotten, Israel was not created by U.N. resolution 181 in November 1947, but by David Ben-Gurion's declaration of Israeli independence on May 15, 1948, and by the [Israeli Defense Force's] ability to take and control the areas of the new state.

"A U.N. declaration, whether at the Security Council or the General Assembly, recognizing a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital
. . . will be no more effective than Security Council resolution 1701, which prohibited Hezbollah from military operations in southern Lebanon, or General Assembly resolution 3379, which equated Zionism with racism.

"If this latest declaration is actually passed, it will merely serve as another reminder of the impotence of the United Nations and its irrelevance when it comes to dealing with international conflicts."

Any real settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must include an end to hostilities and a capability on the part of the Palestinians of assuring that no acts of terror will be launched from territories that Israel turns over as part of the agreement, Arens states.

"The current Palestinian spokesman, or president if you like, Mahmoud Abbas, is not capable of satisfying either of these conditions," Arens says.

"He certainly cannot be relied on to prevent acts of terror against Israel from those areas Israel would withdraw from."

He adds: "Only when it is clear that the Israeli government is standing firm on its positions will the pressure on Israel be relaxed."

Israeli President Shimon Peres echoed Arens' sentiments in a recent discussion with diplomats at the International Peace Institute.

Regarding the possible U.N. declaration, Peres said: "I don't believe this is a solution, because in order for the Palestinians to have independence, we have to give back land. And as we are ready to give back land, we expect that we shall guarantee [security for] our own people. We cannot have a crossfire from Gaza and the West Bank."

4. Americans Worked 102 Days to Pay Taxes

Tax Freedom Day arrived on Tuesday, April 12 this year — Americans worked for the first 102 days of 2011 just to earn enough to pay their federal, state, and local taxes.

The date is three days later than in 2010, meaning that taxes across the board have gone up this year, according to the Tax Foundation, which computes Tax Freedom Day each year.

Americans will pay more in taxes this year than on groceries, clothing, and shelter combined, the Foundation noted.

The computation of Tax Freedom Day ignores the budget deficit and figures in only taxes that will actually be collected this year. If the federal government was seeking to collect enough in taxes to finance all of its spending, Tax Freedom Day would not arrive until May 23.

The latest-ever Tax Freedom Day was May 1, 2000.

On top of federal income tax, all but seven states levy an income tax, as do some localities. The Foundation projects that Americans will work 36 days this year to pay those income taxes, plus 22 days to pay for payroll taxes, which fund Social Security and Medicare.

They will also work 15 days to pay sales and excise taxes, 12 days to pay property taxes, and 12 days to cover corporate income taxes.

Due to different state and local tax rates, and differences in average income subject to federal taxes, total tax burdens vary from state to state. This year Americans in 13 states will work more than 102 days to pay their taxes, including Connecticut (122 days), New Jersey (119 days), and New York (114 days).

The lightest tax burden will affect workers in Mississippi (85 days), Tennessee (86 days), and South Carolina (88 days).

5. Study: Democracy, Autocracy Linked to Rainfall

An intriguing new study has found that the likelihood of a country being a stable democracy or a persistent autocracy is linked to a single natural phenomenon — rainfall.

Researchers Stephen Haber of Stanford University and Victor Menaldo of the University of Washington examined the relationship between rainfall levels and regime types from 1965 to 2009. To ascertain regime type, they used average ratings from a political database called Polity 2. To determine rainfall, they used the annual average within 100 miles of a nation's largest city.

They found that among nations where rainfall measures below 21.5 inches a year, there are only two democracies: Israel and Cyprus.

Between 21.5 inches and 51 inches, there were 18 stable democracies and only seven persistent autocracies.

But when rainfall measures above 51 inches, the balance tips overwhelmingly back to non-democratic nations, with only six stable democracies.

The relationship held true "even when colonial history, the presence of oil, religion, and ethnic division were controlled for," according to a Wall Street Journal report on the study.

The researchers observe: "Why are some societies characterized by enduring democracy while other societies are persistently autocratic? We show that there is a systematic, non-linear relationship between rainfall levels and regime types in the post-World War II world: Stable democracies overwhelmingly cluster in a band of moderate rainfall; persistent autocracies overwhelmingly cluster in deserts and semi-arid environments, and in the tropics."

Haber and Menaldo's theory, according to the Journal, "is that moderate rainfall plus arable land creates economies in which small farms produce grain and legumes above the subsistence level. In turn, the trade of crops helps a large swathe of the population build up financial and educational capital — and a broadly educated, reasonably well-off citizenry is the foundation of democracy."

On the other hand, arid and tropical nations are faced with challenges that favor plantations and large landholders, which create an environment more likely to produce autocracy.

Editor's Note:



6. We Heard . . .

THAT California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's former undocumented housekeeper was feted at an immigrant rights gala in Los Angeles.

Mexican-born Nicky Diaz Santillan created problems during the campaign for Whitman, who had portrayed herself as tough on illegal aliens, when it came to light that Diaz Santillan is an undocumented immigrant. Former eBay CEO Whitman claimed she was unaware of the status of the housekeeper, who worked for her for nine years.

Diaz Santillan's liberal attorney, Gloria Allred, claimed that the housekeeper, who was fired by Whitman when she learned of her status, was "exploited, disrespected, humiliated, and emotionally and financially abused" by Whitman. Republican Whitman lost to Democrat Jerry Brown in the gubernatorial race.

The Coalition for Humane Immigration Reform, which organized the April 7 gala, maintains that Diaz Santillan's "situation is similar to many undocumented immigrant household workers," Fox News Latino reported.

THAT despite earlier reports, liberal newsman Bill Moyers won't be returning to PBS with a weekly series after all.

The Insider Report two weeks ago cited a New York Times article disclosing that Moyers, who ended his PBS public affairs show in April 2010, had received preliminary approval for a major grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, which would fund a 29-month run for a show tentatively titled "Something Different With Bill Moyers."

But in an emailed statement on Thursday, Moyers said: "PBS has informed us there is no time slot available in which the series could be designated for simultaneous common carriage across the country. After discussions with my underwriters, we have decided to pursue other options and projects."

An anonymous reader writes "FTP celebrates its [0]40th birthday tomorrow.
Originally launched as the [1]RFC 114 specification, which was published
on 16 April 1971, FTP is arguably even more important today than when it
was born. Frank Kenney, vice president of global strategy for US managed
file transfer company Ipswitch, said that the protocol we know as FTP
today is 'a far cry from when Abhay Bushan, a student at MIT, wrote the
original specifications for FTP.' According to Kenney, the standard has
grown from 'a simple protocol to copy files over a TCP-based network [to]
a sophisticated, integrated model that provides control, visibility,
compliance and security in a variety of environments, including the
cloud.'"

| Supreme Court To Hear Microsoft-i4i Case Monday

[0]CWmike writes "Patent attorneys and inventors of all types are closely
watching a Microsoft case that the US Supreme Court will start to
consider on Monday. The case, which centers on a technology patent
assigned to i4i that [1]almost forced Microsoft to stop selling its
flagship Word software, [2]could have broad implications in the way
patents are awarded and upheld, experts said. Currently, when a patent
holder accuses someone of infringing a patent, the burden is on the
infringer to prove with 'clear and convincing evidence' that the patent
is invalid. In hearing this case, the Supreme Court could decide to lower
that standard of proof, she said."

Pigskin-Referee writes "This week at Microsoft's MIX11 Web developer
conference, the company surprised many by making a pre-release version of
Internet Explorer 10 available ��� less than a month after IE9 came out in
its final form. But another surprise was uncovered by Computerworld's
Gregg Keizer: the next IE [0]won't run on any OS before Windows 7,
including Vista. Microsoft took some heat when it came out that Internet
Explorer 9 would leave millions of Windows XP users in the lurch, as the
new browser would only run on Windows 7 and Vista. But the company
confirmed that IE10 won't even run on Vista."

stores who otherwise wouldn't ��� partly because of the many free comics
given away ��� but hadn't heard of the record-store equivalent. It'd be
nice for record stories to give away tons of 7" vinyl promos.

Matthew Miszewski from 'working in a marketing role in salesforce.com's

unassimilatible writes "Ars Technica reports that [0]Adobe has
capitulated in the iOS-Flash war, and has [1]adopted HTTP live streaming
for iOS. HTTP Live Streaming is a protocol that Apple developed to stream
live and recorded video using standard HTTP connections instead of the
more difficult to optimize RTSP. It uses H.264-encoded video and AAC or
MP3 audio packaged into discrete chunks of an MPEG-2 transport stream,
along with a .m3u playlist to catalog the files that make up the
individual chunks of the stream. QuickTime on both Mac OS X and iOS can
play back this format, and it is the only streaming format compatible
with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch."
