My associate Dennis Smith recently advised that I would have some information for all on this date. Let me start by conveying to all my very best wishes for a happy and joyous holiday season. The coming year will, IMHO, bring life-changing conclusion to this extremely arduous journey we have been forced to endure.
Although you may not be happy with what has been going on, I can assure you that there was simply no other way to accomplish what will become the new foundation of this great country, and establish the agenda for its rebirth in form and fashion as originally set forth in the US Constitution. As I have previously stated, we have confronted, with added pressure from the lien-holders, the vilest, most contemptible, well financed forces for evil on the planet and we have won! I know, some eleven months later, that must seem to have been an idle boast. However, it merely reflects the mighty struggle that has been raging in the shadows.
While I had hoped to be able to advise you this afternoon that we had finally achieved Economic Receipt, which in turn would authorize release and delivery of the CMKM pay-outs, I cannot do so at this moment. Having said that, please remember my prior advice regarding the Iraqi Dinar re-valuation, which has been much anticipated and discussed. Funding of the IQD re-val is part of the World Global Settlement scheme; and release of the re-val will essentially be coincident with release and distribution of all WGS program pay-outs. I am very pleased to be able to report that not only is Iraq now a sovereign country, but will have an internationally recognized and tradable currency by January 1, 2012. This indicates to me that distribution of the CMKM pay-outs is truly imminent with-in hours/days.
Again, I wish each of you happiness and joy at this seasonal juncture. Please keep in mind that most of this information is not legal by definition, not directly related to our Federal Court action and certainly not something I originally Ëœsigned onâ„¢ to accomplish. In the event that additional delays are encountered, I believe they will be de minimus in both time and substance. We have in fact won the war and proof of that is forthcoming.
I ask that you read and consider carefully the entire contents of this letter, prior to adding your own interpretations, prognostications and conclusions hereon, or any similar interpretations, prognostications or conclusions offered to you by others. Accordingly, and please note that the following is repetitious, and is meant to be: I am very pleased to be able to report that not only is Iraq now a sovereign country, but will have an internationally recognized and tradable currency by January 1, 2012. This indicates to me that distribution of the CMKM pay-outs is truly imminent - within hours/days.
Sincerely,

To All CMKM Shareholders:
It is with a tremendous amount of excitement that I introduce myself to you, the shareholders of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. My name is Steve Kirkpatrick, and I am thankful and proud to serve you as the new President and Chairman of the Board of CMKM. I, too, am a shareholder of CMKM, and it is my strong desire to bring to you a well-deserved return on your investment in this company.
I want to express a heartfelt “thank you†to Mr. Jim Lowden, Mr. Kevin West, and Mr. Bill Frizzell for the diligent efforts these men have made to move the company forward under difficult circumstances. These are men of integrity, and I can assure you that, without each one of their contributions, it is doubtful that CMKM would have survived to this point. They all have been instrumental in helping me get “up to speed†with the many details involved in this transition. They are truly “unsung heroes†in ways that may come to light in the days ahead.
I do not personally know any of the former Board members, but want to thank them for their time of service to CMKM. I wish them well with their future endeavors.
Please allow me to address some of the issues that may be on your minds:
COMMUNICATION FROM MANAGEMENT
I will make a diligent effort to keep the shareholders informed and updated on a regular basis from this day forward. I will use the company website for written updates. However, I believe the shareholders want and deserve a forum that will allow you to ask legitimate questions, and get answers. Over the next few days, I will make contact with one or two of the Pal Talk rooms in an effort to set up a live forum for me to talk with shareholders. I hope to have the session recorded so that shareholders will be able to listen at a later date. If this medium proves to be effective, perhaps it can be used on a regular basis as important events occur.
As company finances improve, I will host webinar events online that will be recorded and archived on the company website. Also, I have had calls from owners/moderators of various boards offering communication options. I will research these opportunities as well.
Please be aware that I do not and never have posted on any of the “boardsâ€.
It is important for shareholders to understand that I will not have the answers to every question. Public discussion of certain topics could compromise our position with regard to ongoing litigation or collection efforts. Some topics serve no value in moving the company forward. I will, however, provide honest feedback on subjects that are open to discussion.
SHAREHOLDER MEETING PLANS
As has been stated before by CMKM management, the only reason that a shareholder meeting has not been planned or held is the sheer lack of the funds needed to host such a meeting. I hope to provide enough feedback to the shareholders to fill the “void†until such time that funds to hold a meeting are available.
NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS
As you know, all previous Board members have resigned. I am in the process of assembling a group to sit on the Board of CMKM. Unfortunately, in order to get quality professionals to sit on a corporate board, the company needs to be able to cover the Board with liability insurance. Many of the people I have in mind for the Board have significant assets, and will not join the Board without the insurance coverage. The Board will be selected, and will be on “standby†until the funds are available to insure them.
I have discussed the Board positions with several highly qualified individuals, and have commitments from two so far. I want a diverse group with the business and life experience to truly help me move this company forward. I will keep you informed on this process.
AL HODGES AND THE BIVENS LAWSUIT
I spoke with Mr. Al Hodges recently. I assured Mr. Hodges that I would help any way possible if he needs anything from company management to move his case forward. However, the Hodges case is a totally separate issue from the operation of CMKM Diamonds, Inc.
I believe Al Hodges is an honorable man and a very good attorney. From what I can gather, he has put his entire law practice and professional reputation on the line for this lawsuit. I am convinced Mr. Hodges truly believes he will prevail. I wish him the best.
However, the position of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. is neutral with regard to the Hodges effort. I can assure you that company management has no “inside†information to share.
COMPANY HEADQUARTERS
The company headquarters will be moved from Tyler, Texas in the near future. When the relocation is complete, I will update you with all the facts.
2010 TAX RETURN
As you have seen, the 2010 tax return has been released on the company website for your review. I am sure many of you have questions about the return. I will discuss the return with our accounting firm, and will be as prepared as possible to answer questions during the first Pal Talk session.
If you are not familiar with how to “read†a corporate tax return, then you may become confused or make incorrect judgments about the “numbersâ€. I hope each shareholder will get the real facts before making incorrect assumptions.
SHORT-TERM PLANS
There is much work to be done. However, a quick look at the 2010 tax return will help you understand my most pressing priority. The company has assets, but no operating cash at the present time. We have significant liabilities that need to be paid soon. The task of converting real estate assets into cash is underway. I was in Clayton, Georgia on Friday, 12/9/11 interviewing agents to list and sell the land we own there. I hope to sell the land rapidly for enough cash to pay all current liabilities in full.
There are several parcels of land that can be acquired through judgments – it will take time to convert those to cash. We have many millions of dollars judgments in favor of CMKM against several individuals, but many, if not most of those judgments are uncollectable.
There are other potential sources of cash on the horizon, but to discuss them in this forum could compromise our position and ability to collect funds.
LONG TERM GOALS
The following list outlines goals I hope to accomplish over the next two or three years:
1. Test 1010 core samples.
2. Return CMKX stock to trading status.
3. Form “New Corp†to work or sell off 1010 claims, giving CMKM shareholders a pro-rata stake in the “New Corpâ€.
4. Ultimately, provide a good and well-deserved return on investment to all bona-fide CMKM shareholders.
These goals are realistic and attainable, but not guaranteed.
SUMMARY
As I stated in my opening paragraph, I am truly excited about the potential CMKM holds. I believe in the potential enough to spend my time and energy without cash compensation at this time. I know what needs to be done, and I know how to do what needs to be done. However, I am not a “miracle workerâ€. I will put the work into the company that is necessary, but the company needs some good things to happen for a change.
The negative verdict in the Glenn case was a major setback for CMKM. We had a very good case, but, as we have seen in recent years – a good case doesn’t always insure a positive verdict in court.
What we have as CMKM shareholders is a company that has been damaged severely by many illegal activities in years past, but is still alive and has a good chance of becoming a profitable venture.
There are many misconceptions about CMKM due to its past history. However, let me assure each of you that I know of no conspiracies, mystery “money menâ€, or anything else of that nature. I hope to address these issues in more detail in the near future.
We have a much better chance for success if we are unified as shareholders. I ask for your support, and if you believe in prayer – pray for this company and for me as I lead the effort. I assure you that I will conduct business honorably and diligently. I look forward to working on your behalf in the days ahead.
The management team of CMKM has changed. The company’s statement earlier this year read as follows:
“The goal of this management is to build a company one step at a time. It is of the opinion of the company that a round table team of shareholders be assembled with approximately 7 individuals. These individuals will assist the company in their past knowledge and their ideas moving forward. It is important that these individuals have a good standing with our shareholdersâ€
Please be advised that the company received several responses to the quest for the round table group and for the CEO position.
October 31, 2011 Tom Stevenson and Stan Polsom resigned their positions as Directors of the Company leaving Roger Summers as the sole remaining Director.
November 17, 2011, Mr. Summers signed a resolution to bring new management onboard to bring in a fresh new perspective.
November 18, 2011 Mr. Steve Kirkpatrick accepted the position as the new President and Chairman of the Board. Please join the Company in welcoming Mr. Steve Kirkpatrick. Mr. Kirkpatrick was one of the people who applied for the position of CEO earlier this year and brings with him a wealth of business contacts and experience that he will utilize in moving the Company forward.
December 6, 2011, Mr. Summers tendered his resignation as a Director of CMKM.
The Company would like to sincerely thank Mr. Tom Stevenson; Mr. Stan Polsom, and Mr. Roger Summers who unselfishly and freely gave of their time to CMKM. It is because of these Men and the Company’s management that CMKM is prepared to move forward.
The Shareholders of CMKM Diamonds will be happy to know that Mr. Kirkpatrick is motivated to continue the growth of the company, the communication between company and shareholders will be better than it has ever been using the new technologies and social media.
Mr. Kirkpatrick will be personally addressing the shareholders through an update on this website by early next week.
I spoke with many of you last Friday on my first day on the job for you. I came away flooded with emotion. After hearing of your concerns, situations, welcoming your tough questions as well as your kind remarks and well wishes, I came away from every call with a feeling of solidarity that I had never felt before. Thank you.
To be a CMKM shareholder is an honorable thing. Well shall prevail. I hereby commit to you to try and be a conduit between our company and its shareholders. I feel it is important for me to state that our current CMKM Management and Board of Directors are to commended for their honesty, integrity and dedication to not only our company but to our shareholder base as well.
I recently met most of them while in Las Vegas last month attending the recent trial. When that case went to the jury, I believe we all felt we had presented our case well and we were optimistic of a positive outcome. Although no monetary judgment was awarded by the jury from defendants Roger Glenn or Edwards Angell Palmer and Dodge, the Company did prevail with a combined $70 million judgment from defendants Urban Casavant, Ginger Gutierrez and James Kinney.
My wife, Carol, and I attended the hearing for a total of 5 days and following is my perception of the individuals that represented CMKM at the Las Vegas hearing: Mr. Jim Lowden sat at the plaintiff's table projecting a very distinguished, relaxed and confident persona as the President of the Company. Attorney Bill Frizzell and his team gave it their all and looked as if they were absolutely exhausted when it was over. In my opinion, it was a job well done. Thank you, Bill. Two of the CMKM Directors, Tom Stephenson and Stan Polsom, were in attendance and added further strengthening to our case as an ongoing concern. I would like to add that I have in the past met all three Directors of CMKM and would represent to you that Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Polsom and Mr. Summers are among the most honorable men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I can state without a shadow of doubt that there exists a very healthy relationship complete with a necessary check and balance system between the Board of Directors and the Officers of the Company. Finally, in my opinion, Kevin West is the unsung hero of the group although he always insists that he has done nothing on his own and that it always is and has been a team effort. He is a warm, friendly and outgoing person who is also well spoken, knowledgeable and passionate. My hat is off to all of them. I look forward to the potential of what the Company is trying to accomplish for all shareholders in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.
As for the future, it should be noted that our Company faces many obstacles and difficult decisions. As stated above, I personally believe that we are in capable hands. The Company intends to release their unaudited 2010 financials in the coming months.

SEC launches administrative case against Bagley
Street Wire (U-CMKX) CMKM Diamonds Inc
2011-11-07 13:54 ET - Street Wire
Also Street Wire (U-*SEC) U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

by Mike Caswell
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has launched an administrative case against Helen Bagley and a Las Vegas transfer agency she ran, 1st Global Stock Transfer LLC, for helping the CMKM Diamonds Inc. promoters issue hundreds of billions of free-trading shares. According to the SEC her actions were essential to the massive CMKM market manipulation that ran from 2002 through 2004, in which Saskatchewan's Urban Casavant and British citizen John Edwards dumped billions of shares while promoting the Carolyn kimberlite pipe.
The action, filed on Friday, Nov. 4, comes three months after the SEC secured $448,047 in disgorgement and fines against Ms. Bagley and 1st Global in a related civil case. (All figures are in U.S. dollars.) It claimed that she ignored red flags that would have made it obvious she was facilitating illegal activity. She repeatedly issued stock based on incomplete and in some cases forged documents, the regulator said. Ms. Bagley has appealed that loss.
Ms. Bagley is also facing criminal charges for her role in the scheme. Prosecutors in Nevada named her along with several others, including Mr. Edwards and Mr. Casavant, in a criminal case that has yet to go to trial. She faces four counts of fraud, to which she pleaded not guilty on April 28, 2010. While the case appears to be proceeding against Ms. Bagley and the others, there has been no participation from Mr. Edwards or Mr. Casavant. Police have yet to arrest Mr. Casavant, and Mr. Edwards awaits extradition from the United Kingdom, where he was arrested on the U.S. charges on Sept. 7, 2009.
It is not clear what penalties the SEC is seeking in its current action against Ms. Bagley. It will hold a hearing before an administrative law judge on an as-yet unspecified date.
SEC's complaint
The administrative case does not contain full details of the allegations against Ms. Bagley, instead referring to the civil complaint the SEC filed against her and others on April 7, 2008, in the District of Nevada. The complaint described how, on about 60 separate occasions, 1st Global helped issue 589.7 billion freely tradable CMKM shares during the promotion. (The U.S. Department of Justice puts the total number of shares issued in the scheme at approximately 800 billion.) The recipients included Mr. Edwards, Mr. Casavant and their nominees.
According to the complaint, Ms. Bagley's relationship with Mr. Edwards went back to the mid-1990s, when she served as the transfer agent for multiple companies that he traded. By the time of the CMKM promotion he was her largest customer, with CMKM work comprising over half of her business.
Her role in the CMKM promotion, as described by the SEC, involved her issuing stock based on flimsy or fraudulent paperwork. Among other things, she accepted attorney opinion letters that did not identify the recipients, specify how many shares each was to receive or correctly list the company's name. Some letters were obviously written after the share issuances and backdated, the SEC said.
While Ms. Bagley's role with the promotion was mostly limited to the share issuances, the SEC said she also had a small part in misinforming the public. From July, 2003, to February, 2005, CMKM did not publicly disclose how many shares it had outstanding, leading to much speculation on the subject. The company specifically instructed Ms. Bagley not to release this information. At the same time, it issued news releases blaming significant volumes on naked short-selling.
Other defendants in the case included Mr. Casavant and Mr. Edwards, with much of the complaint describing how they heavily promoted the stock while dumping at least $64.2-million worth of shares. According to the SEC the men generated investor interest through false news releases, on-line message boards and at "funny car" events across the country. During the promotion, the stock price varied between 0.01 cent and 0.1 cent, with daily volume sometimes over two billion shares.
Among other things, CMKM claimed in a December, 2002, news release to have an office an Antwerp, Belgium, that would promote the "Casavant diamond brand." It did not disclose that it had yet to find a single diamond. It also claimed to have an ancient Chinese jade collection valued at over $50-million that an expert had appraised. According to the SEC, the expert never had any involvement with the company.
The company's most effective promotional tool, as described in the complaint, was its appearances at the funny car events. It sponsored a race team called CMKXtreme, with cars bearing advertisements such as "Got CMKX?" Mr. Casavant attended the races, where potential shareholders visited a CMKM-sponsored tent filled with geological maps, videos and other promotional materials. The SEC said that about 40,000 people purchased CMKM stock during the fraud, particularly after the CMKXtreme race team became popular in June, 2004.
While Mr. Casavant was promoting the stock, he and Mr. Edwards were also selling it, according to the complaint. Mr. Edwards dumped $26.4-million worth, while Mr. Casavant sold $31.5-million. They used the money to pay gambling debts, invest in real estate and generate more shareholder interest, among other things.
The SEC sought disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, penny stock bans and appropriate civil penalties. It secured a $54.9-million judgment against Mr. Edwards on June 24, 2009, and a $65.6-million decision against Mr. Casavant on Sept. 2, 2009.

Before the
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Release No. 65693 / November 4, 2011
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING
File No. 3-14614
In the Matter of:
1st GLOBAL STOCK TRANSFER LLC and
HELEN BAGLEY,
Respondents.
ORDER INSTITUTING ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 17A(c)(3) AND 17A(c)(4) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AND NOTICE OF HEARING
I.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commissionâ€) deems it appropriate and in the public interest that public administrative proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted pursuant to Sections 17A(c)(3) and 17A(c)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Actâ€), against, respectively, 1st Global Stock Transfer LLC (“1st Globalâ€) and Helen Bagley (“Bagleyâ€) (collectively, “Respondentsâ€).
II.
After an investigation, the Division of Enforcement alleges that:
A. RESPONDENTS
1. 1st Global is a Nevada Corporation registered with the Commission as a transfer agent beginning in October 2001. At all relevant times, 1st Global operated as a transfer agent for transactions in the stock of CMKM Diamonds, Inc., a Nevada corporation which concocted and carried out a complex scheme to illegally issue and sell billions of shares of CMKM stock in several unregistered distributions between December 2002 and September 2004.
2. Bagley is the principal of 1st Global, and owned and operated 1st Global at all relevant times.
B. ENTRY OF THE INJUNCTION
3. On August 1, 2011, after the Commission’s motion for summary judgment against Respondents was granted, a final judgment was entered against 1st Global and Bagley, permanently enjoining them from violating Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77e, and additionally permanently barring Bagley from participating in an offering of penny stock, in the civil action entitled SEC v. CMKM Diamonds, Inc. et al., Case No. 2:08-cv-00437-LRH-RJJ, in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada.
4. In granting the Commission summary judgment, the Court concluded, among other things, that the following facts were uncontroverted:
(a) Bagley was the individual who removed the restrictive legends from CMKM’s stock certificates for at least 270 billion shares of CMKM stock;
(b) 1st Global and Bagley were both necessary participants and substantial factors in the sale of unrestricted CMKM stock in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act because: (i) but for their participation in removing the restrictive legends, there would not have been a sale of unregistered securities because the CMKM stock would still have had the restrictive legend on each certificate; and (ii) their participation was not de minimis as they issued billions of shares of CMKM stock without the restrictive legend and then transferred those unrestricted certificates to broker-dealer NevWest Securities Corporation for the purpose of sale to the general public.
III.
In view of the allegations made by the Division of Enforcement, the Commission deems it necessary and appropriate in the public interest that public administrative proceedings be instituted to determine:
A. Whether the allegations set forth in Section II hereof are true and, in connection therewith, to afford Respondents an opportunity to establish any defenses to such allegations;
B. What, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest against Respondent 1st Global pursuant to Section 17A(c)(3) of the Exchange Act; and
C. What, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest against Respondent Bagley pursuant to Section 17A(c)(4) of the Exchange Act.
IV.
IT IS ORDERED that a public hearing for the purpose of taking evidence on the questions set forth in Section III hereof shall be convened at a time and place to be fixed, and before an Administrative Law Judge to be designated by further order as provided by Rule 110 of the Commission's Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.110.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondents shall file an Answer to the allegations contained in this Order within twenty (20) days after service of this Order, as provided by Rule 220 of the Commission's Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.220.
If Respondents fail to file the directed answer, or fail to appear at a hearing after being duly notified, the Respondents may be deemed in default and the proceedings may be determined against them upon consideration of this Order, the allegations of which may be deemed to be true as provided by Rules 155(a), 220(f), 221(f) and 310 of the Commission's Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. §§ 201.155(a), 201.220(f), 201.221(f) and 201.310.
This Order shall be served forthwith upon Respondents personally or by certified mail.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Administrative Law Judge shall issue an initial decision no later than 210 days from the date of service of this Order, pursuant to Rule 360(a)(2) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice.
In the absence of an appropriate waiver, no officer or employee of the Commission engaged in the performance of investigative or prosecuting functions in this or any factually related proceeding will be permitted to participate or advise in the decision of this matter, except as witness or counsel in proceedings held pursuant to notice. Since this proceeding is not “rule making†within the meaning of Section 551 of the Administrative Procedure Act, it is not deemed subject to the provisions of Section 553 delaying the effective date of any final Commission action.
