"I don't care who gets the drill started just get it done".

It might surprise you that we are are in agreement here. In fact, I'm getting a little frustrated at the back and forth- of which I am party to. It is true, that I have little to no confidence or trust in BG and I think it unlikely that his deals are as real as he would like us to think. Nor is he is necessarily the best guy to consumate them- see "Prospects One and Two" or how (un)successful he was with potential Japanese investors- who had actually traveled to the U.S. to meet with Liberty Star. And I know many out there don't trust JB for various real or imagined misdeeds. And all of this eventually needs to be hashed out. But for the purpose of getting funding for drilling- we all should be on the same page.

So- I will say it again. We need to entertain all potential funding proposals- as many as possible. Not only because some would be better than others- but also because just having an offer out there does not mean it can be successfully concluded- by anyone. We need every chance we can get. Therefore- BG should proceed with his potential offers unimpeded. But so should JB. The sticking point is that the pointless and petty law suit needs to be dropped and JB needs to be "brought back in from the cold". Although he has apparently continued laying the groundwork on our behalf, even after his ouster, obviously these deals can't be concluded on behalf of the Company if he is not part of the Company. Moreover, the deals actually require him to be in charge of the projects. That does not necessarily mean he has to be in charge of the whole Company- although many of us would like that. But it does mean he needs to be in charge of the projects per se. 

Nobody looses- not even BG and hopefully, if a deal is successfully concluded- we will all gain. One does not have to decide who is more trustworthy- BG or JB- nor who is more culpable. Just let them both get the job done. It seems really quite simple. But it does require BG taking some necessary steps. I hope he can reach this conclusion on his own without more prodding from we shareholders.
