Rush Limbaugh and Amway's Richard Devos: The Hypocracy of Professional Sports Team Ownership

Controversial radio talk show host and entertainer Rush Limbaugh should consider becoming the owner of an NBA team now that his name has been removed from a list of investors seeking to buy a National Football league franchise, the St. Louis Rams. Obviously the National Basketball Association would be a better fit for Limbaugh since they obviously do not set very high standards for membership in their club for which I will explain. Consider the Orlando Magic owner, Richard Devos.

Devos and the late Jay Van Andel are the cult initiators of the 'American Way,' now known collectively as 'Amway.' For half a century, 'Amway,' has operated a monopolistic 'closed market swindle' while 'preying' on their own children, the prosperity believing cult adherents in what amounts to a form of 'advanced fee fraud' very similar in nature of one operated by Jim and Tammy Bakker. These 'true believers' now make up what British born author and guide to the Amway Labyrinth David Brear describes as 'the financial holocaust' having been flim-flammed into what pyramid scheme expert Robert Fitzpatrick calls the 'American Scam'.

In a recent blog post on Quixtar Cult Intervention, Brear details how the present Amway world cult evolved from an earlier 'snake-oil' 'Nutrilite' vitamin swindle started by the late Carl Rehnborg and his business partners Mytinger and Casselberry. Devos and Van Andel co-opted Mytinger, Casselberry and Rehnborg's questionable 'Multilevel Marketing Strategy' and have once again made Nutrilite 'Double X' snake oil supplement the flagship product of their assault on the wallets of 'Independent Business Owners' who, in the end, are generally left holding the 'trick bag' once Devos, Van Andel and the Amway 'Kingpins' make off with their cash. Brear rightly describes the 'Double X' vitamins as a 'Double Cross' on those folish enough to believe the Amway 'reality inverting' 'land of will' myths. Cult adherents (IBOs) purchase these 'snake oil-like' tablets at an extortionately high price in the 'pay to play' Amway game of greed. Rehnborg's 'soups' formulated into compressed tablets had once been occulted to be a cure all for nearly all of man's ills and have always been offered up in classic 'huckster' fashion. Rehnborg, Mytinger and Casselberry have since disappeared from their 'confidence game,' but the game they invented continues now under the Devos, Van Andel 'Amway' Banner. In a past blog post, I described how 'Nutrilite' fathered Devos and Van Andel's 'American Way.'

Rush Limbaugh and Rich Devos are remarkably similar personages, both wealthy supporters of conservative right wing Republican ideologies and candidates they believe support their pro-big business conservative view of the world. Rich Devos heads up the Amway cult adherents, while Limbaugh heads up his drone like 'ditto-heads.' Both groups are bombarded with 'mind numbing' 'reality inverting' rhetoric. Many of Limbaugh's group purchase the Limbaugh Letter, while the Amway group is extolled on the virtue of purchasing their rhetoric in the form of 'tools' from the Amway 'Kingpins' who operate a secondary 'closed market swindle' known as the 'tool and function' business.

Significanly enough, both Devos and Limbaugh have criminal histories. Devos was involved in the defrauding of the Canadian government in a import tax evasion case for which Devos and the late Jay Van Andel agreed to pay Canada 25 million dollars to avoid spending time in Canadian jail cells. Limbaugh, an admitted oxycodone pain pill addict was involved in his own 'doctor shopping' scandal and agreed to a plea agreement to keep himself out of a jail cell as well.

Both Devos and Limbaugh can be described as controversial fellows whose right leaning rhetoric borders on the psychotic. Devos espouses a narrow 'dominionistic' view of the world and is an avowed homosexual hater. Limbaugh spews a rabid hatred of anything 'Democrat' and brands anyone supportive of the Democratic platform as a 'liberal kooks.' Devos loves to paint his Amway Scam as 'big business' and uses this as cover for his unjust enrichment. Limbaugh not surprisingly is also a supporter of big business and detests any move by the present administration towards effecting any type of social change like health care reform. Limbaugh has also been known to make what many people considered controversial statements against African Americans.

Devos's Amway, much like Bernie Madoff's former 'investment business' is always represented as 'legitimate business' although it actually is a Ponzi-like scheme which has miraculously been allowed to continue long after the truth of this affair has been revealed to the mainstream population. Devos has managed to keep Amway alive through a half century of scandal by carefully protecting his self interests with cash suckered from those foolish enough to believe in the swindle that began with Rehnborg. Political contributions and support of key Republican politicians, many of which have since been involved in their own scandals, have helped keep Amway operating and off of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission regulator's hit list of scam companies.

I, therefore, to be fair, propose that Rush Limbaugh (a veritable Saint compared to Rich Devos) be allowed to become the owner of whatever professional sports team that comes onto the market to include even Devos's NBA Orlando Magic. The good people of Orlando and NBA fans everywhere deserve better than a known 'criminogenic' swindler owning a team that nearly won the NBA championship last season. Although I am not a big fan of 'entertainer' Limbaugh, I believe his money came to him honestly, not the result of an enormous swindle, and he should indeed be allowed to buy into the NBA owners club!

Gary Ridgeway: How to become a better person in Quixtar/Amway!

There is a taped interview with Ridgeway where he claims Amway made him a better person because he claims he didn't kill as many people when he was doing Amway. It has been on You tube. Of course, he killed people over several different years. Exact count of bodies while he was in Amway, most likely unknown. Whether he killed anyone he actually personally encountered while 'practicing' Amway, most likely unknown. He was however an admitted predator of 'ladies of the evening.' He therefore kept some pretty unsavory company at least." Significantly enough, Amway, and therefore Ridgeway, always like to represent themselves as 'door to door' sellers; salespeople in an industry that Phil Ellenbecker, proponent of Wisconsin's Malinda's Law, has documented to be rife with horrific crime and human abuse.

Amway can't have it both ways; they can't be a door to door sales company (as they claim to be) and also be far removed from the horrific affairs that true door to door industries are known for. They are the 'deep pocket' scoundrels which lurk behind the Direct Selling Association and are most likely the largest single 'quiet' opposition to Malinda's Law in the State of Wisconsin, proposed legislation which seeks to reign in direct selling abuses and more closely regulate a corrupt/mafia-like industry. To succeed against the DSA, one must actually succeed against the hidden enemy, the extracted filthy lucre propping up the DeVos and Van Andel vast Amway World Cult! Their supposed success based on a 'closed market swindle' of incredible proportions.

A person may become a better con man in Amway, not necessarily a better person from the standpoint of morality. A person joining an organization run like the mafia may possibly have their financial situation improved, but aren't they corrupted by that very same corruption?

Amway is a reality inverting affair, a complete perversion of old time faith, and also one which--significantly enough--has in the past depicted itself to be a God fearing, Right leaning, Christian affair--while all the while carrying out fraud on an incredible scale! Money is the god for which these cult initiates worship.

Isn't it absolutely ironic that the very same thing that these cult believers worship is the exact same sacrifice they make to their Amway God?

Who cannot recall the fake money raining down on the stadium of people in Dateline's 2004 Expose on Amway Corruption? Significantly enough, they use this very same lust for wealth as evidence that they are merely a business organization; a fraud that helps keep Amway's criminal money extracting fraud operating and one of many reality inverting myths that British born author, David Brear thoroughly describes in his guest articles on Quixtar Cult Intervention.

It is significant that Gary Ridgeway also dreamed the 'Amway Dream' all the while possibly carrying out some of the most gruesome murders in modern times!

The Amway training tools--a con themselves--teach adherents of the 'closed market swindle' basically how to become a more effective con man while also claiming to be just another of these 'door to door' salesman. The traveling magazine sellers are just the tip of the ice berg in what most people consider door to door selling. The youth on the traveling sales crews are simply amateurs compared to the Amway operated con game, where social networking seeks to circumvent the cold door knocking approach which is widely understood in the door to door scenario. Amway cult initiates do their door knocking in a carefully well thought out deception, usually incorporating the infamous curiosity invite; therefore they work in a significantly different manner than the magazine sellers, whose door to door con only appears more obvious. Of course appearances can be very deceptive indeed.

The desire to swindle on a large scale basis is at the heart of both the fly by nights (like the traveling sales crews) and the supposedly legit Amway World Cult. Both incorporate recruitment into their pernicious affairs. The lives destroyed in the process are meaningless to either group and of course the Direct Selling Association has blood on its hands. Anyone opening their door to either industries is a potential victim; sadly, the Amway victims many times are financially victimized far worse than someone being scammed out of a few thousand in a magazine sales con or check washing scam. Amway cult members have occulted themselves as independent businessmen for decades, a reality inverting myth--since the cult initiators hold all the cards in their carefully constructed contract all supposed independents must sign. The cult initiates are the willing recipients of deceptive propaganda, and monopoly buyers in what David Brear correctly has described as a closed market swindle of global significance!

Folks who fall prey to the deception of the Amway Dream are in a 'reality inverting black hole' and are forever changed. They follow strange gods indeed, and their family members are left to yearn for their son, daughter or family member as they once knew them. Adherents of these cults, whether it is the traveling sales crew or the pernicious 'the business' cult are all somehow changed significantly enough that their own family members do not even recognize them as being the same person. Family is alienated and must watch from the sidelines as these former family and friends are swallowed up in their worship of the AmQuix god. The offering up of gold to the gods soon follows; the same thing which significantly goes on in another pernicious world cult headed up the Sung Yung Moon.

Horrific stories exist in the door to door industry, all of which Amway Global significantly claims to be part of. They take their place along side of the other bad players like Kirby, Southwestern Company, and all the sundry fly by night traveling magazine/household product hawkers, the door to door knockers. Intent to defraud and fraud are most likely to occur, no matter how one opens their door to these scoundrels.

Update: I've added a short video to this post. Amway indeed can make you a better person, even if you don't have time to kill! To see additional Ridgeway/Amway videos, click here.

Amway Employee Describes IBO as a Fool for Buying Crap!

I was lucky enough to have the 'Amway Tooth Fairy' pay a visit to one of my blog posts. Not only did they visit, they left a dime under my pillow--in the way of a comment defending Amway's honor--as if such a thing could really exist?

A short explanation is necessary, so please follow along carefully as I will paint you a picture of Amway deceit and describe how an 'anonymous' individual behind computer IP address 167.23.0.93 left a comment under my Amway/How It Works/Marge's Story Post. If you haven't read about Marge's plight, take a short detour by clicking here. Many other regular readers--who are already familiar with my Marge's Story--will recall that Marge sent me a communication that told a horrific tale of how her finances were ruined by her Amway 'distributor' husband who played a game of deceit, not only on himself, but on Marge as well, running up $16,000 of debt ridden expense in four years of pursuing a Quixtar Land of Will inspired dream. (Not necessarily an uncommon theme amongst dream inspired devotees.)

Now, this is where the Alticor tooth fairy comes to my blog leaving a comment under the alias of 'anonymous' under Marge's Story post. The comment came in early in the day and my Google talk widgett immediately notified me that someone had left a comment on Marge's Story; as soon as I saw the content of the comment I immediately signed into my stat counter page and discovered that the commenter's message was sent from an Alticor computer IP address 167.23.0.93 with this ISP Path Out69s.datetelecomm.net (Alticor Inc) Ada, Michigan. Now that you know that the tooth fairy was without a doubt an Amway employee at the Ada, Michigan Headquarters, read the comment that follows. (Notice that who ever this person was, they have a very noticeable problem with capitalization.)

_______________________________

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Amway/How It Works/Marge's Story":

sad story, but how is this amway's fault? poor decisions + low motivation + credit card + some bad advice sprinkled in does not equal a problem with the company or even the concept.

this could happen to anyone in any business, or hobby for that matter...money can be blown on lots of useless things.

amway doesn't require that owners buy any of that crap, and after $16k if this person is not wise enough to know that they have a problem then it was a matter of time before a "fool and his money are soon separated".

_______________________________

I had already informed readers about this comment on the Amway Soap Box Blog under Amway – Quixtar: Where Criminal Intent to Defraud Becomes “Caveat Emperor” to Alticor Employee! which I also urge you to read.

I want to bring to your attention the word 'crap' that I overlooked the first time I read Alticor's response. I already described how this mysterious person while working at an Alticor computer attempted to pose as any anonymous commenter to deflect blame away from Amway for Marge's horrific experience in a AmQuix household.

This tooth fairy had the nerve to call all the Amway 'stuff' that Marge's husband bought "CRAP": Wow, take a breath; what a revelation! Not something you ever thought you'd see being transmitted from an Alticor company keyboard at pyramid scheme headquarters?

What did this Quixtar "fool" squander his money on? Tools and functions; Overpriced products; and all the mostly disregarded overhead expenses.

Obviously Marge's husband was doing only what he was told to do, first by the upline and secondly by all the mind numbing audio tapes, CDs and books promoted by the motivation business ran by the greedy tool promoters, known as kingpins.

To now add insult to injury, this faceless Alticor person calls Marge's husband a fool for buying all the Amway crap. It seems to me, that if Alticor knows all the stuff that their distributors buy is crap, aren't they truly guilty of intentionally defrauding their own 'distributors'?

Amway, headquarter in Ada, Michigan, head up a pernicious World wide cult which is is overseen by greedy tool promoters who operate their secondary scam on the backs the believers of the Amway Myth. In the light of Marge's victimization, the home office is disavowing any responsibility in the matter, placing the blame for buying all the 'crap' on the victim's husband and in a sort of ironic way passing the blame onto the tool scamming kingpins for enticing their downlines to consume this crap as if it were more important than breathing oxygen, putting food on the table, or making the mortgage payment.

Dear Anonymous Alticor Tooth Fairy, thank you for leaving your dime under my pillow. Amway product and tools are indeed crap; thanks for confirming what I already knew. I can sleep peacefully now, knowing that even Amway thinks their products and tools are crap! I had already proven that to my own satisfaction because those training materials that the kingpin distributors sell for 'top dollar' to their downlines, only sell for pennies on the dollar on eBay--that is if they even get a bid at all. Tex-the used tool lord--can't possibly afford to buy them all even at their penny a pound price; therefore, lack of demand drives their yard sale-like price. EBay tool sellers most likely make more off of their shipping charges than from the product being auctioned. If for chance anyone happens to take a look see at the eBay offerings in the Amway/Quixtar category, you will also discover that Amway/Quixtar products are also being offered up at the same yard sale cut-throat prices as well. Makes me wonder why Amway believers are willing to take such a 'bath' on these supposedly wonderful--supposedly high quality--badly overpriced products? I guess the sellers probably discovered the products and tools really are CRAP exactly as the Amway tooth fairy describes them.

When the dream dies, the appetite for Amway craps dies along with the dream. Word Up! - quixtarisacult

Amway's Dick DeVos Nightmare Comes to an Ends Peacefully as Dick Wakes Up!

It is a cruel World for wealthy Michigan Republicans, specifically Dick DeVos. He has the wealth of one of the most prolific World Cults and Pyramid Schemes at his control to expend on political aspirations, but he is obliged to wear Amway Brand cement overshoes from the Quixtar/Amway Catalog while wading through the deep waters of Michigan politics--sort of like a shark avoiding his own kind; because it his blood that is in the water!

I am guessing that other Michigan Republicans are breathing a sigh of relief today, as Amway Crime Family Dick has announced that he will not be making another run for the governor's office. Dick Devos ran an unsuccessful 2006 Republican bid for the office spending more than $30 million dollars of his own dirty money in an embarrassing failed attempt. In a major twist of fate and bad Amway Karma, the Democrats and Jennifer Granholm didn't have to actually make up any dirt against Dick. They ran against the Amway pyramid scheme and paraded Dick's disembodied head next to a cartoon Egyptian style pyramid doctored up to look like Amway corporate headquarters. As funny as those commercials were, they were also very effective, because ironically enough, they had the the spirit of truth in them. Dick indeed had dirtied his own hands in the Amway product based pyramid scheme having served as Amway President from 1993 to 2002. In an effort to distance himself from the bad karma of Amway, Dick renamed the company Alticor in 2000 and also renamed the Amway North American scheme to Quixtar as well.

Amway announced in the fall of 2007 that it was dumping the faux Quixtar facade and renamed the questionable North American MLM operation back to Amway with the 'Global' tag being added. Obviously the failing Quixtar 'tool' propaganda inspired 'distributors' would now be harnessed to the Amway Global mother-ship to empower their dream inspired scam on themselves. (So much for all the buffaloing that the 'distributors' had heard about having their 'independent' businesses being 'powered by Quixtar' which proved to be incredibly anemic and under-powered in the end!) Alticor has heralded 2008 as a year of change and has spent a considerable sum on a reputation rebuilding media blitz hoping to restore confidence in the Amway moniker. Dick threatened to unleash a new round of Amway pyramid bashing, a potential Amway public relations nightmare at the worst possible time.

Amway Global's hopes of renewing a positive relationship with the public in general has been over-shadowed by their own Dirty Dick DeVos's disastrous 2006 bid for the Michigan Governorship, where Amway was justifiably paraded out as a money extracting scheme to Michigan voters. I am sure that the present Amway executives and advertising and PR departments were not happy about the idea of Dick potentially announcing a second potentially disastrous run for the Governor's Office. The 2006 run was a public relations nightmare for Alticor which cannot shake the Amway moniker any easier than Amway Global can shake off the disastrous Quixtar Dateline Expose revealing distributor kingpin malfeasance. To corporate Amway, Dick represented a flaming bag of dog pooh that was about to be placed on the porches of Michigan voters again and the fall out would once again be nationwide.

My sense of the situation in Michigan is that a huge sigh of relief has come to the Ada Amway Globular pyramid scheme headquarters and also to Michigan Republican's who now can make a legitimate bid for the Governor's chair with Dick's millions of dirty money and Dick out of the race. I surmise that Dick's money and that of Amway co-founder Rich DeVos--may not be completely off the political table, but he is. In announcing his intentions not to run for Governor in 2010, the Michigan and national press have been very kind indeed, not mentioning the 'Amway brand' cement overshoes Dick clomps around Michigan in. The news media in Michigan, much like Dick's Republican Gubernatorial hopefuls obviously fear Dick's money as well and are not drawing the obvious conclusions that I have in my humble blog post today. Thanks to the World Wide Internet, at least my view will be presented to discerning readers of this blog and most notably to the pyramid scheme executives who secretly read my thoughts online.

Dick's backing away from his political aspirations is the sigh 'not' heard around the World! but then again, the national press, and particularly the Grand Rapids area press, seem to be in the pocket of the pyramid schemers as well, with Amway advertising money always being sought. I might suggest that Forbes do a story on these developments, since they have recently also used the pyramid word about Amway in a recent scathing article about former Amway Kingpin, Orrin Woodward. For additional background information on Dirty Dick click here.

The election of Democratic candidates nationwide and the Republican failure to deliver up Michigan for John McCain probably had something to do with Dick's grim decision as well. The Right Wing rarefied atmosphere must have Dick's Dad Rich sporting an oxygen tank and riding around his Ada kingdom on a hover-round as Mr. Obama goes to Washington! Amway/Quixtar 'distributors' like ostriches might keep their heads in the sand about Amway corruption while Michigan voters do not.

Reader, have you been recently shown the Amway plan to fantastic fool's gold. You've found the right location in cyber-space to avoid the Amway nightmare as well. Keep coming back because like any intervention, it only works if you work it!

Enjoy the You Tube video below where Dick says "I've been Amwayed!" (Why not, so many other people have experienced the effect as well thanks to Dick, his Dad, and the now deceased Jay Van Andel.) Desi Indeed!

Answers For People Experiencing The Pernicious Amway The Business Cult

Is there anyone out there in the cyberspace dealing with the pernicious the business cult? They call themselves Amway, but are one of the Worlds major Cults along side of the likes of Scientology, and the Unification Church. Has anyone had to deal with a loved family member that is being engaged or harmed by one of these cults? I send warning: these are not wonderful people and their cult is a pernicious harm doing affair! It can and will ruin families. It many times will tear even the closest of people apart, even ones merely on the outskirts of the cult. Family members who have to deal on a day to day basis with this family tragedy.

Can one really describe Amway/Quixtar in a way that new readers, or even those similarly affected, might understand and therefore come to a realization? It is just farther out of what most people find to be reality--simply because they do not know. Only amongst those who experience the cult phenomena first hand and know the kinds of mental anguish one can undergo, can a full understanding of how these truly deceit ridden folk operate. Their deceits have no bounds; they corrupt themselves morally, and many times lose sight of their first love. Their belief systems are altered-- not in a good Godly way.

A perversion of faith occurs where they are lulled into worship of The Business Cult. It mattered not to the cult what one believed prior to hearing the plan. Once faith has been supplanted towards the cult organization, the recruitment has been accomplished. The recruited pay to receive the Word of the Cult in the form of tool propaganda whereby the ways of the cult are not only taught, but embedded into the subconscious mind of the believer. All the important cult details are thereby infused, ingrained, taught, and driven into the minds of, and retaught over and over so many times that the end result is a programmed believer in the dream inspired Amway business cult.

Amway, the only business owner involved here, steps in and immediately takes their profits in what my friend, David Brear describes as a “Closed Loop Swindle”. I've described it in a different fashion, but both descriptions detail a bad situation for all the Amway Cult believers who basically must buy overpriced products, tools, and attend expensive functions. They are required to “pay to play” in Amway's game of deceit where dreams rarely ever come true. Only the well established early adopters, the kingpins, benefit, providing themselves up as the very cheese that all the duped cult believers are told they should work to emulate. One can see a child at the foot of the master here. Can these cults claim they do not have a central figure to emulate or worship? They worship the very members of the cult who stand to gain the most and in the end do them the most harm!

Quixtar Cult Intervention exists to reach out to the downtrodden folk either in the cult, on the outskirts of the cult. Many people really need to find answers to their own situations. Could I provide a few answers to help someone in the grip of this pernicious business cult? Please send me an email: Quixtarisacult@Gmail.com . I have received testimonies of people who threw off a cult predatory situation and my heart is always gladden to know that someone has somehow been helped. People who resort to deceit in these cults many times become just as deceitful with others in their sphere of influence. From experience, many times these cults succeed where people believe they are alone; all the while their sensibilities become numbed and the joys of life seem to fade.

Amway: How Deregulation and Lack of Oversight by the Federal Trade Commission Has Allowed Corrupt Business To Victimize Their Own!

The national media is just full of bad news recently: predatory lending, the mortgage meltdown, the banking crisis, and now the insurance meltdown and the AIG bail out. Amway, a multi-billion dollar business that masquerades as a online retailer of health and beauty products fits right in with all the other predatory businesses that deregulation and the lack of oversight has wrought. Amway pompously touts itself as free enterprise and has supported right wing causes that have preached about getting government off of “our” backs for what seems like decades. Amway really wants governmental oversight off of their backs so they can ride their distributors backs, the. Independent Business Owners they depend on for their supposed retail sales.

The public has been asleep at the wheel. Our elected representatives have allowed money from the likes of self interest inspired big business to subvert the interests of the common working people who have to survive in this world which has been taken over by greedy interests and the likes of Amway and the failed Enron. Where is the real compassion of our leaders for the people who are losing their homes? Indeed the meltdown on Wall Street effectively has robbed millions of people their hard earned retirement nest eggs. Amway has basically fleeced people of potential retirement money for years and left them holding their empty dreams as well. People believing in the Amway dream many times believe that an Amway residual income will be the ticket to living the good life in an early retirement. They fail to see all the horror stories this line of reasoning has wrought in the nearly half a century Amway has been fleecing their flock of duped dreamers!

Amway is just such a predatory entity seeking to serve their own greedy self interests. They have basically flown under the radar for years. Why should people get up in arms about a company that makes fools of the soap selling neighbors? After all, it was the neighbors that got themselves involved with these scoundrels in the first place, right? Just as the borrower of sub-prime loans can be blamed for signing a contract that doomed them from the start, the victims are usually left to take the blame. Amway has successfully adopted the tactic of teaching the distributor that failure is the distributors own fault. If you lose money, or if you can't sell any products, or if your dreams of going diamond never come true no matter how hard you struggle, the company has washed their hands clean of any responsibility! The victim has to take the blame for playing in a game where the cards were heavily stacked against them. When Amway talks about how successful their business is, they are really talking about how successful they have been at making their own distributors the victim in what amounts to a bait and switch Ponzi game of insane proportion!

Amway represents the biggest fleecing of its own people ever unleashed on the American public. In recent years, the bad truths about this con job of a business have slowed recruitment and profits here; so to continue to expand its base, the rest of the World has become the focus of their product pyramid schemes. To understand this situation, nearly 4 out of 5 dollars that come in as revenue to Amway come not from the US market, but from the expansion into foreign countries where people new to capitalism mistake Amway's scheme for a legitimate business. They buy into what most citizens in the United States have over time come to realize is a losing enterprise.

President Bush had the bright idea that our health care crisis could be solved by having all citizens invest their medical savings in the Stock Market which the Republicans have touted as their free enterprise solution to the escalating cost of health care. Might I add that it would seem like the stock market itself was being touted as one big pyramid scheme itself. What deregulation has done for millions of Amway victims it is now doing for the common men and women who had the good common sense not to get involved with Amway but are ironically being victimized by the same type of deregulation. The victims are different but the victimization is the same.

In many ways the victims of predatory lending or bad investments are made to blame for their belief in the systems that never had their best interests in mind. Welcome to the world of greedy businessmen who look out for their best interests and use what ever means possible to bail themselves out and leave the people who have lost holding only their empty bag of dreams.

It was okay that millions of Amway duped distributors have lost their money to pyramid scheming executives at Alticor. Amway has been touted as a cult like endeavor bordering on religion. “What Jesus has done for others, he can do for you! This is well and good. What Amway has done for others (99% lose money), they can do for you! This is a shame. Amway indeed sells hope with the soap; the problem being that as the soap stops selling at the distributor's door, so eventually does the hope. Who makes all the money in the Amway Land of Will Scam? It is the con men sellers of monopoly products and the pyramid sellers of mostly mundane training propaganda,also a monopoly business for the top of the pyramid scheme kingpins.

People investing in their Amway dreams may wake up some day and realize that their nest egg has been squandered on Amway crap; lost the same way many other Americans have lost their savings in mutual fund accounts and bad investments. The Federal Trade Commission has permitted the fleecing of Amway dupes because the money taken from the pockets of these victims has funded the lobbying by the Devos/Van Andel empire to protect their fleecing of the flock.

Amway Global Cult Intervention urges people who are the intended “marks” in the Amway product pyramid scheme and the tool scam to get out with whatever money they can. It is sort of like wanting to get your money out of an insolvent bank before a run on the bank leaves you wiped out. For those considering this to be a potential business opportunity, do the math, do the research. I believe in the end you will discover that Amway indeed will do for you what it has done for many millions of others, make you the loser in their pay to play game of greed designed to make you lose. MLM pyramid schemes, who needs them? Persons being exposed to MLM opportunities and searching for real information about these scam business opportunities can find links at the bottom of the Quixtar Cult Intervention sister page. I recommend Pyramid Scheme Alert as a "must read" for people new to the topic of multi-level marketing, network marketing and direct selling which are different names for which many schemes go by.

Quixtar/Amway Global's Perfect Water Scam Has Come and Gone: XS Gold Scam Next On the Agenda For the Fleecing of the Duped Cult Flock!

The Perfect Water Scam of 2008 has pretty much fizzled out. Seems like there are a lot of disappointed Amway distributors out there who have gotten fleeced by purchasing many exorbitantly priced cases believing it to be their ticket to retailing profit and success. All the hype has fizzled out, and just like almost all of Amway's over priced monopoly products, this fancy bottled water has basically only sold to IBO distributors. If they were lucky enough to unload it at cost, they most assuredly aren't reordering it a second time at least for retail sales. They are the suckers that I described them to be in past posts on this blog!

What's next for these duped cult drones? XS Gold! Here comes more hype about another product that has the look about it to become the next Amway Scam unleashed on their cult followers. Indeed, it seems like there has been a lot of attention focused on MonaVie's Acai Berry Drink product sold in wine bottles. Hmmmm? It would seem that maybe Amway would be farther ahead if they just bottled real wine. At least the distributors then could drown their sorrows in their own product. Many were left to drink the not so perfect empowered water or leave it dusting in their pantry. The only thing the water “empowered” was Amway's fleecing of the flock. Now these same dupes will be encouraged to invest in this new XS Gold Scam? I am guessing that this product will be exorbitantly priced, and profess to offer health improving benefits much like MonaVie's purple juice sham product.

Not being willing to admit that Perfect Water was a scam on themselves, distributors will be touting this new product as being the next big reason to climb on the Amway Global bandwagon. Seems that these sham products help sell the recruitment scam that these folks show to their neighbors and friends. Who really needs friends and neighbors like this? I am wondering how many of the people who were exposed to the Perfect Water Scam and who were recruited as a result are now looking back and scratching their head about being so gullible to fall for snake oil sales techniques?

Amway products are marketed and intended for consumption by the distributor down line customers. They are duped by tool selling kingpins like Ron Puryear to believe that the products can be retailed and therefore fall for basically the same kind of scam time after time. Reminds me of a Cyndi Lauper Song: Time After Time. Amway will almost always be introducing some hyped product like it has in the past with their XS drinks and more recently their Simply nutrition bars, re-wrapped crap that is a waste of a distributor's money and a source of Jay Factor profits for the product pyramid purveyors in Michigan.

I sense that there are some very skeptical IBO/ABO types out there who may not be so willing to jump onto this XS Gold Scam after being fleeced like sheep in the Perfect Water Scam. Loss of enthusiasm is a prelude to distributors that are likely to drop out of the business eventually as many do yearly. Amway Global operates a recruitment scam whereby there must be willing new recruits brought on board to replace the ones who see through the deception and quit after being fleeced for a period of time.

Amway Global Cult Intervention urges people being exposed to the Amway recruitment scam to decline the chance to be suckered. You will most likely be exposed to the XS Gold Scam, just as many distributors were exposed to the Perfect Water Scam when they were first showed the “plan”. I advise you to use good common sense, and just cut your potential loses entirely and avoid these con men sellers of deceit. Hey, if you really want to try some of these supposedly miracle products, you can buy them on ebay. Folks having fallen victim to Amway have been fighting back by trying to recoup some of their loses by offering their Amway crap through on-line auctions; you can find any number of Amway goods as well as the training propaganda materials (CDs, books, and tapes) known as tools up for auction. You can be assured that there is a disgruntled Amway sucker standing behind every one of these ebay offerings. You don't have to be the next person looking to unload Amway crap over the World Wide Web after being suckered by the World Wide Dream Builders and others of their ilk!
