The Black Amway/Quixtar Gift From the Dark Side


A Gift that arrives in the mail with a completely dull black envelope embossed by small silver Ribbon. Have you been a recipient of one of these non-gifts that Amway Global cultists substitute for real presents. These black gifts represent more than just an overpriced product scam, they point out the utter deception the cult members themselves are under. Even their family are relegated to mere PV points on the Amway road to fools gold.

Amway Global/Quixtar Ribbon Gifts are a first class rip off; the accompanying catalog is rife with badly overpriced non-presents--candles and scents and the like. Not generally products one might legitimately live without. Recipients recognize this 'black gift' as evidence that insanity exists somewhere possibly in their own gene pool.

Receivers of THE BLACK GIFT are basically made to feel someohow unclean in the sender's fraudulent affairs and their very corrupt totalitarian regime and World Amway cult.

Beware of the handsomely dressed couple, dressed to the 9's in dress suits to impress and misrepresent. They go out as the 'Conways' perpetrating their scam and themselves as successful, although neither is true. Their 'black gift' attempts to represent Amway as a success which any thinking person knows to be a complete and utter myth. The Conways are perpetrating fraud and are guilty of intent to defraud their fellow villagers. Avoid the Amway criminal Conways! You may not be able to avoid their black gift from the darkside. Word Up!

Amway Global/Quixtar Censorship: UnAmerican Way


Again, I have to describe how Amway apologists operate. Robin Luymes, who operates a pro-Amway Blog in the Amway Opportunity Zone, is engaging in a very un-American censorship of free speech. He has taken it upon himself to 'school me' on the use of words which the Amway Propaganda Ministry deems a personal attack on others. I beg to differ. The words in question that Luymes seeks to censor on his Amway paid for blog are:

'cult'
'pyramid'
'kingpins'
'ambots'


The blog administrator seeks to squash anti-Amway comment and free speech on his forum by making the above words basically verboten. He claims to have become calloused to the use of the term 'cult' over the years he has worked for Amway. He claims that the terms 'kingpins' and 'ambots' are disrespectful, and claims he sends letters to news agencies asking them not to use the word 'pyramid' in conjunction with news articles related to Amway Global. I refer readers to these two blog posts by the Amway Propaganda Minister Robin Luymes (or Kia): Click here and here. Be sure to read the strings of comments under these posts. I have responded to some of the personal attacks against me by the likes of one snarly wench Bridgett Barron, the poster child for incivility, who attempts to use the Internet to promote her sad sack of Amway overpriced crappy goods. (At least she tries to sell something—not really a major goal of Amway distributors whose idea of running their business is to only buy, not sell; Doris and Joe Shaw also sought to sell Amway crap as well, but they had a little honesty problem.) Oh, by the way Bridgett, XS drinks do indeed taste like urine.

I just thought that Amway Global Cult Intervention readers might like to know how Amway operates its totalitarian product based pyramid scheme and how it allows the pernicious 'The Business Cult' to prey on its own adherents. David Brear has a great Amway expose up on Quixtar Cult Intervention that you can read by clicking here.

Amway/Quixtar: Opportunity to Flush Your Money Down their Loo !


Here is how multi-level marketing works in the direct selling industry. Almost all businesses operate off of some variation of the Amway system. Regardless of the hype recruitment people try to make recruits believe about their opportunities; these supposed opportunities almost always work out the same way for people foolish enough to believe the claims which are complete Du Du.

What follows is a description of how direct selling schemes really work out for people foolish or desperate enough to believe in them. The money that is supposed to come your way after striving and struggling in a MLM pursuit is always at the end of the rainbow where the little green suited Leprechaun plays a shell game with the MLM Pot O' Gold and even if you were lucky to locate the end of the rainbow you are only left so much further behind the eight ball.

Recruitment made during periods of recession, where many people have lost traditional jobs, seek to attract desperate people into their direct selling schemes like Amway, MonaVie, Usana, Herbalife and many others. Recruits will be asked to squander what resources they do have buying what most people would consider unnecessary overpriced products or services. You will be encouraged to do three things with an emphasis being placed on the first two:

(1) buy products
(2) buy training (to include attendance at meetings, rallies, and seminars)
(3) sell products

All three require you to send your money to the company with the third hopefully allowing you to retain a margin between your price and the retail price.

Buying MLM overpriced services or crap when you are operating on emergency unemployment funds makes little sense. Providing a company with overhead expenses to promote their profits makes no sense at any time. Even if you manage to recruit or sell a few bottles of "Dr Du Du", you still do not come out on top after figuring in your overhead costs which you must provide out of pocket.


Expenses, considered overhead include the following:

(a) transportation
(b) use of your facilities, phone
(c) time
(d) accommodations
(e) applicable taxes

One of the biggest scams in almost every MLM proposal is that you are convinced that you own their business. Please, don't swallow that camel! They own the business contractually speaking. You send them money for (1) and (2) and then you may also send them the majority of the money you receive selling a few bottles of Dr. Du Du (or whatever product or services your company offers) while you get to retain the marginal difference between your price and the retail price: the gross profit. I've noticed many distributors sell the product at their cost and make zero margin which makes the pursuit a sham business.

You become the “mark” that is supposed to sell the company's products, which, by design, are so priced as to make this very difficult, if nearly impossible. Even if you are persistent and succeed to sell a few bottles of the Dr. Du Du, then the margin between your price and the retail price will provide you with what your company attempts to make you believe is your profit, which in reality isn't unless you manage to sell enough to overcome your own costs; the overhead I described above.

It shouldn't be any surprise that your real profits from selling a few bottles of Dr. Du Du will most likely only offset a substantial loss in the end, especially if your time is factored in correctly as a monetary amount; after all your time is worth something isn't it? And even if you do not use “universally accepted accounting principles” and provide your time as "gratis", most likely the bottom line will still result in a significant loss. Most distributors will never actually be able to sell enough Du Du to realize a profit even where their time is considered free, which really is an impossibility.

You therefore find yourself flushing number (1) and (2) down your MLM loo which is what these sham MLM businesses are designed for you to do! You end up with the crap and they end up with your cash!
