Many of the victims were infants and babies, who were injected/fed with poison by their deluded parents. The adult victims had been trained to obey Jim Jones' commands and they were acting under the guided-delusion that 'Jonestown' was about to be invaded by FBI agents, and US miltary, who were going to torture/kill them and their children. Most of them simply obeyed Jones command and drank the poison, but others were forced to do so or shot.<br /><br />Jones had previously rehearsed the mass killing of his followers. He told them to drink what they thought was poison to test their loyalty.<br /><br />The core 'Jonestown' victims' model of reality, and resulting self-destructive behaviour, were controlled by a fictitious narrative which Jones had constantly repeated as fact.<br /><br />In exactly the same way, core-'Amway' victims' model of reality, and resulting self-destructive behaviour, have been controlled by a fictitious narrative which the 'Amway' bosses have constantly repeated as fact.<br /><br />I have previously said that chronic 'Amway/MLM' victims have been duped into committing financial suicide. <br /><br />I have been falsely-labelled as 'extreme in my opinions' for merely pointing out this self-evident, but unacceptable, truth.David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-14822973669392397382018-08-21T12:08:40.629+02:002018-08-21T12:08:40.629+02:00Click on the link to the film everyone!

You now claim 'to be helping people' to set up their own 'Amway/MLM' businesses. You live in NW England.<br /><br />It's rare that an 'MLM' propagandist comes on this Blog using his/her real name, because (in the past) none of them have been able answer the most basic questions concerning the quantifiable resuts of their group's so -called 'income opportunity.'<br /><br />So whilst you are here Mark (bearing in mind the UK Fraud Act 2006, section 3), could you please tell my readers:<br /><br />1. How many persons in total have signed contracts with 'Amway' since the so-called 'Amway income opportunity' was first instigated in 1959/60?<br /><br />2. How many of these many millions of signatories have managed to remain under contract to 'Amway' for more than: 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, etc.?<br /><br />3. By extrapolation, what has been the overall net-loss/churn rate for participation in the so-called 'Amway income opportunity?'<br /><br />4. What lawful reason can you supply to explain why you have no access to the key-information contained in the truthful answers to the above 3 questions, and why this key-information has never been made available to the public or to anyone signing an 'Amway' contract?<br /><br />BTW Mark, the English verb to 'lose,' is spelled with one 'o'.<br /><br />Lose, is what any 'MLM' boss would do if he/she were to be so foolish as to try to take me to court. This is why no 'MLM' boss has ever tried to sue me, because I would simply ask them the same common-sense questions I have asked you.<br /><br />The UK Fraud Act 2006 has an entire section dealing with fraud (theft) by the withholding of key-information. I suggest you read, and digest, it.David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-11423416105968721972018-08-20T03:32:21.531+02:002018-08-20T03:32:21.531+02:00Take Amway to court then and let’s see what happen...Take Amway to court then and let’s see what happens,I can guess you will loose big time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912131008738587349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-76741075127068032602018-08-17T11:02:48.800+02:002018-08-17T11:02:48.800+02:00One wonders if the young woman who features in thi...One wonders if the young woman who features in this video has filed a complaint against 'Amway' with the FTC.<br /><br />Almost every crooked cultic practise she describes in the video, is what the bosses of the 'Amway' racket in the UK promised a High Court judge that their company would no longer be doing.David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-21989285659284076402018-08-17T10:56:40.348+02:002018-08-17T10:56:40.348+02:00Thank-you for your support Anonymous.Thank-you for your support Anonymous.David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-39783774082335602562018-08-17T10:55:38.287+02:002018-08-17T10:55:38.287+02:00Anonymous - I have to say that your comment could ...Anonymous - I have to say that your comment could be that of an 'MLM' dupe and useful idiot, but it could also be that of someone who has little understanding of the gravity of what Messrs. Heaton-Harris and Boles have done. In fact, I could equally have described this pair as: unwitting traitors to their employers, the British public. <br /> <br />The irony of your comment is exquisite, because the offensive, non-rational, totalistic controlling-narratives of 'MLM cults have systematically excluded, and condemned, all rational persons dissenting from their 'positive' content, as: 'negatives', 'losers', 'whiners', 'liars', 'nay-sayers', 'quitters', 'enemies of free enterprise', 'nut-jobs,' etc. etc. <br /><br />Please note, I don't just condemn these two British 'honorable' members of the UK parliament (who have thoughtlessly promoted the pernicious 'MLM lie) as 'dupes' and 'useful idiots,' I have presented an extensive, evidence-based, rational analysis explaining exactly why they have been useful idiots and dupes for billionaire American racketeers. Obviously, their natural reaction will most-certainly be to take offence at this description, but that that doesn't make it any less accurate.<br /><br />Furthermore, I have generously offered Messrs. Heaton-Harris and Boles an opportunity to educate, and redeem, themselves, and to prove that they really are honorable men. <br /><br />Sadly, in my experience, once a certain type of person has been duped, and/or coopted, by the peddlars of 'MLM' fairy story, his/her ego will then prevent his/her critical, and evaluative, faculties from functioning. Hopefully, this will not be the case with Messrs. Heaton-Harris and Boles.<br /><br />That said, these two proud Conservative politicians are first going to have to admit publicly that they have played the role of dupes and useful idiots for criminals, in order for them to stop acting as dupes and useful idiots for criminals. <br /><br />In the final analysis, if Messrs Heaton-Harris and Boles really are honorable men, then their prime concern will be to protect the UK public: not to protect themselves and their party.David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-87763628317784593732018-08-17T10:17:13.413+02:002018-08-17T10:17:13.413+02:00"dupes" and "useful idiots", c..."dupes" and "useful idiots", can't you find a less offensive way to describe people who don't agree with your opinions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-15773149501696544962018-08-16T22:46:03.588+02:002018-08-16T22:46:03.588+02:00Amway is a cult!

Blog readers are reminded that it is the stated policy of this Blog not to post any part of the pernicious 'MLM' fairy story without detailed qualification or heavy irony.<br />________________________________________________________________________________<br /><br />The anonymous commentator (who is using a manipulation technique known as 'gaslighting' in a transparent attempt to alter the perception of Blog readers) says:<br /><br />'The UKDSA opposes pyramid schemes... David Brear is a well known nut job who doesn't know what he's talking about.'<br /><br />_________________________________________________________________________________ <br /><br />In reality, since the 1970s, what the so-called 'DSAs' say they do, and what they actually do, could not be more different. Today, the name 'Direct Selling Association,' is a complete inversion of reality.<br /><br />When I complained to the so-called 'UKDSA' about 'Amway' being the front for a cult running a pyramid scheme in the 1990s (mistakenly believing the so-called 'UKDSA' to be legit), my name and contact details were passed to 'Amway UK Ltd.' It was at this time that I received a threatening letter from the company's lawyers which was also a transparent attempt to persuade me to question my own perception, sanity, etc.<br /><br />In truth, so-called 'DSAs' have been part of a psychologically abusive (*gaslighting) system designed to make anyone complaining about 'DSA' members ('Amway', 'Herbalife', 'FLP', etc.) question their own perception, sanity, etc. <br /><br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting<br /><br />*Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, hoping to make them question their own memory, perception, and sanity.David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-31652351448456711082018-08-13T09:05:02.464+02:002018-08-13T09:05:02.464+02:00I've been asked what questions should be put t...I've been asked what questions should be put to MPs Heaton-Harris and Boles?<br /><br />My questionnaire for 'MLM' adherents can easily be adapted for 'MLM' casual observers and useful idiots, but some of the questions don't need much change:<br /><br />7. What prior knowledge did you have of 'MLM?'<br /><br />8. What was your initial reaction when you encountered 'MLM?'<br /><br />9. At the time you encountered 'MLM', what did you believe to be the success-rate of persons participating in'MLM' schemes (i.e. about what percentage of participants did you think made an overall net-income out of 'MLM')?<br /><br />10. Were you ever shown any independent quantifiable evidence (e.g. income tax payment receipts) proving that anyone has ever made an overall net-income out of participating in 'MLM?'<br /><br />11. Did you ever ask to see such evidence? <br /><br />12. Could you give a brief explanation of what you understand by the term pyramid scheme or scam?<br /><br />13. What would you say was the essential identifying characteristic of pyramid scams, Ponzi schemes, money circulation games, chain letter scams, etc.?<br /><br /> 14. Were you given to believe that 'MLM' schemes are not pyramid scams, because they involve the sale of products, and/or services, to customers and end users, and offer money-back guarantees?<br /><br />15. Were you given to believe that 'MLM' schemes cannot be frauds, because they have existed for decades and have been investigated and approved by governments around the world?<br /><br />16. Were you given to believe that 'MLM' schemes cannot be frauds, because celebrities (including senior politicians) have endorsed 'MLM' schemes?<br /><br />17. Were you given to believe that 'MLM' schemes cannot be frauds, because their sponsors have given money to charity?<br /><br /><br />David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-21205229107110193702018-08-10T09:30:41.278+02:002018-08-10T09:30:41.278+02:00Anonymous - I would not be so sure that these Brit...Anonymous - I would not be so sure that these British Conservative politicians have been bought like the 'MLM' caucus in Washington.

They would certainly find us to be ourageously comic, but ultimately tragic.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of science-fiction, but isn't there a comic Sci-Fi scenario in which space aliens have adopted the term 'Humans' as by-word for pointless self-destruction, in the same way that we use the term 'Lemmings.'<br /><br />David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-16676999369118900952018-08-09T05:16:23.282+02:002018-08-09T05:16:23.282+02:00It's amazing to see here in the 21st century t...It's amazing to see here in the 21st century the same kind of predatory cults that destroy lives, families and finances using an assortment of con games, religion, deception and brainwashing. No tactic or technique is spared in twisting people's minds with illusions, divisiveness, false religion and patriotism and outright lies. And we see it in so much of the far right wing nowadays. Up is down, black is white and anything showing to the contrary is "fake news" and the work of "the devil". Once indoctrinated, either financially or politically, it's fascinating to see how those ensnared seem completely unable to use critical thinking skills to weigh actual facts and evidence, even as they themselves sink deeper and deeper into debt and ruin. Their minds have been trained by those in charge to not "believe their lying ears and eyes" and instead to blindly trust whatever is being spoon fed to them by the cult masters. To those who can think clearly it's obvious how a certain group at the top are feasting on those below them and raiding the till all the while practicing what magicians call "misdirection" to deflect attention away from them to "others", be it people of other political thought, migrants or people of colour. And for those with blinders on they gleefully join in cursing them, all the while their masters grin and continue to pick their pockets while pretending to be their best friend. Seems quite appropriate in that kind of situation that Betsy DeVos, whose family has destroyed the lives of thousands, both in finances and families, is part of the current American administration. Led by a man whose narcissist personality and pathological lying has become the new "normal", as he screams "fake news" to anything that attempts to expose him for the lifetime con man that he is. If space aliens are watching us they surely are saying "they seem to have gone totally mad". <br /><br />I can only hope that the world can break free of this dangerous path it has set upon.<br /><br />~DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
