'The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible. It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought — that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc — should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever.'

The purpose of 'MLM Income Opportunity' jargon is not only to provide a medium of expression for the unquestioning world-view and mental habits proper to the core-adherents of 'Herbalife,' but to make all other critical and evaluative modes of thought impossible. It is intended that when 'MLM Income Opportunity' jargon has been adopted once and for all and traditional language forgotten, a heretical thought — that is, a thought diverging from the 'positive' principles of 'Herbalife' - should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words. Its vocabulary is so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every 'positive' meaning that an 'MLM Distributor' can properly wish to express, while excluding all other 'negative' meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This is done partly by the invention of new 'positive' words and phrases ('Herbalife', 'Multi-Level Marketing', 'Distributor' , Independent Business Owner,'), but chiefly by eliminating undesirable 'negative' words and phrases ('cult', 'totalitarian', 'fraud', 'deception', 'brainwashing', 'victims', 'exploitation' , 'de facto slaves') and by stripping such words and phrases as remain of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever. |

| The outrageously-camp 'MLM income opportunity' shill, John D. Patton Tartol (+ sons), playing the absurd unoriginal role of ordinary poor human who, after exactly-duplicating a Step by Step Plan, has transformed into multi-millionaire superhuman, and who is prepared to share his secret knowledge with anyone (for a price). |
Excluding the insignificant minority of narcissistic shills like John Tartol, the hidden overall loss/churn rate for the 'Amway' copy-cat, blame-the-victim 'MLM Income Opportunity' racket known as 'Herbalife,' has always been a solid 100%.
Currently, the 'Herbalife' racket (alone) is consuming approximately two millions ill-informed humans annually around the world, or approximately twenty millions every decade.
On entering the 'Herbalife' racket, all these would-be 'MLM millionaires' have been arbitrarily, and falsely, defined on their Orwellian take-it or leave it contracts as 'Independent Business Owners:' on leaving (after failing to receive any of the attractive financial rewards they were offered by world-class liars like John Tartol), the same persons have then been arbitrarily, and falsely, defined as 'discount customers who never expected to make any money.'
The 'Herbalfe' Ministry of Truth now quotes Big Brother John Tartol as saying:
"....for the small percentage of Herbalife distributors who choose to work hard and build a business, there is an opportunity for significant financial success,”

Quite clearly this statement is another demonstrable lie which itself constitutes wire fraud and obstruction of justice. A such, John Tartol's words, like those contained in countless other tightly-scripted, reality-inverting broadcasts made by the 'Herbalife' Ministry of Truth, form part of an overall pattern of ongoing major racketeering activity (as defined by the US federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 1970).
All this begs some common-sense questions:
- Even if they were all honest (which I very much doubt), how could the so-called 'regulators' at the FTC, have been so dumb as to have allowed this?
- Where is the FBI?
- Where is the mainstream media?
- Where is the SEC?
- Why hasn't 'Herbalife' long-since been closed-down as a dissimulated criminal enterprise and fundamentally un-American activity?
- Why haven't Tartol, and his criminal associates on the 'Herbalife' Board, long-since been arrested for racketeering, and all their unlawful profits seized?

An anonymous reader asks:
ReplyDeleteWhy is John Tartol's statement: "....for the small percentage of Herbalife distributors who choose to work hard and build a business, there is an opportunity for significant financial success,” a lie?
John Tartol's statement is written in a form of code -
'Small percentage' = effectively zero%
'Herbalife distributors who Choose' = De facto slaves who have been given the illusion they were making a free choice
Build a business = recruit more de facto slaves
Why is that a lie?
DeleteAnonymous - You will observe that, when translated into traditional English, Tartol's coded laguage, is an inversion of quantifiable reality.
DeleteTartol, like all 'MLM' shills, steadfastly pretends that anyone can become one of the elite minority, like him, who have apparently achieved the 'MLM' Utopia by following a 'Step By Step Plan'. In reality, in order for there to be an elite minority, there has to be a constantly churning, ignorant majority, who keep buying into this absurd lie.

Anonymous: It's a lie because Herbalife knows by now that people hear it as "if you work hard at Herbalife, you will make money". Despite the careful reference to a "small percentage", they know that most people will not hear that. Works like a charm over and over again x millions. Most people think "well, I know how to work hard, I am dedicated enough to make this dream come true"...especially when they are all lathered up by the HLF Large Group Awareness Training, aka social coercion/undue influence.
ReplyDeleteHLF knows that the vast majority will lose money, it's a rigged game....but they don't say that...instead, they imply that if you just work hard, you will make money.
That's a lie.
Thanks judy - and if I might also add: when Big Brother Tartol says:
ReplyDelete'for the small percentage of Herbalife distributors who choose to work hard and build a business, there is an opportunity for significant financial success,'
he's not just lying: he's also inviting the victims of his lies to work hard (wasting their own time and money) at lying to as many potential victims as possible, in the hope that some more vulnerable individuals will then become temporary de facto 'Herbalife' slaves and begin to work hard at lying to as many more potential de facto 'Herbalife' slaves as possible, etc. ad infinitum.
In the past, I have said that, given the number of Americans who have been temporarily enslaved by these 'MLM' mind viruses, and the vast quantity of money their creators have stolen, there is a very good case to charge liars like John Tartol with treason, on the grounds that they have been inflicting brutal economic, and psychological, warfare tactics on millions of their fellow citizens .
Essentially, the US Constitution defines treason as a US citizen engaging in an act of war against his fellow US citizens, but does not set any limits to the definition of what constitutes an act of war.
Self evidently, the John Tartols of this world are traitors to the American Republic, and it doesn't take a genius to guess what the founders of the American Republic would have made of them.
Unfortunately, 'MLM' racketeers have not been faced with persons of a high moral and intellectual calibre. To date, they have only been faced with legally-qualified trade regulators who have been incapable of looking beyond the ends of their noses.

Thank-you for your insights David
DeleteYou have guided me to the dark heart of a modern-day, totalitarian labyrinth and shone a piercing light on its manipulative rulers and manipulated inhabitants.
Thanks Anonymous, but perhaps we should also thank George Orwell.
