'Amway' stooge, William Pinckney, and two expendable associates (Sanjay Malhotra and Anshu Budhraja), are still facing charges of fraud in the Indian state of Kerala. Yet it is US based racketeers, like Doug DeVos, who have been pocketing most of the cash. |
'Regulation was misapplied to our industry and that should not happen. We have been in operation for 100 years... We are as interested in identifying fraud and protecting consumers from fraud as the government is.'
Meanwhile, back in the adult world of reality, it wasn't Indian trade regulators who arrested William Pinckney, and his associates, and charged them with criminal fraud, it was the Indian police. Indeed, if I was a senior Indian law enforcement agent, I'd be very interested to know how such an obvious racket as 'Amway' got past Indian trade regulators in the first place; for over 60 years of quantifiable evidence, proves beyond all reasonable doubt that what has become popularly known as 'Multi-Level Marketing' is nothing more than an absurd, cultic, economic pseudo-science hiding in plain view, and that the impressive-sounding made-up term, 'MLM,' is, therefore, part of an extensive, thought-stopping, non-traditional jargon which has been developed, and constantly-repeated, by the instigators, and associates, of various, copy-cat, major, and minor, ongoing organized crime groups (lurking behind labyrinths of legally-registered corporate structures) to shut-down the critical, and evaluative, faculties of victims, and of casual observers, in order to perpetrate, and dissimulate, a series of blame-the-victim closed-market swindles or pyramid scams (dressed up as 'legitimate direct selling income opportunites'), and related advance-fee frauds (dressed up as 'legitimate training and motivation, self-betterment, programs,' etc.).
No matter what world-class liars like Doug DeVos continue to claim, no free-thinking observer now seriously disputes that the most-deluded, core-'MLM' adherents see the world only in two illusory dimensions, 'positive vs negative.'
Indian 'Amway' adherents at a typical pay-through-the-nose-to-enter 'MLM' orgy of deluded self-gratification. |
The growing mountain of evidence shows that vast numbers of ill-informed victims have been deceived into entering this style of dissimulated cultic swindle, then, on the pretext that 'the exact duplication of a step-by-step positive plan will lead to success and limitless financial freedom,' they have been intellectually-castrated (without their fully-informed consent) so that their minds will only accept what their leaders have arbitrarily defined as 'positive,' whilst systematically excluding what these same cultic charlatans have arbitrarily defined as 'negative.' Thus, when seen only in the fake 'positive' context of: 'Business', 'Independence', 'Financial Freedom' , 'Low Risk' , 'Direct Selling', 'High Quality, Good-Value, Scientifically-Proven Products', 'Research','Development', etc. 'MLM income opportunities' can appear to be authentic.
Hiding in plain view - the 'Amway' bosses used stolen money to co-opt a popular Bollywood star, Diya Mirza, in order to shut down the critical, and evaluative, faculties of victims and casual observers in India. |
Sadly, this dangerous inversion of reality has been further confirmed by celebrity/political/scientific/corporate endorsements contained in glossy-advertising.
Self-evidently, when the wider-picture is examined (by persons with fully-functioning critical and evaluative faculties), all two-dimensional 'MLM' propaganda forms a pattern of ongoing, major, racketeering activity, because these artificially-created, fake 'positive' contexts have actually been financed by the proceeds of crime in order to perpetrate further crime and to prevent the victims from confronting reality and complaining.
