Britain's new Prime Minister, Theresa May, is the Member of Parliament for Maidenhead.
In the capacity of local MP, last year Theresa May (who was then the UK Home Secretary) was tricked into opening the new HQ of 'JuicePlus UK Ltd.' Evidently, Theresa May MP was completely unaware that this is the legally-registered corporate-front for a US-based, 'Amway' copy-cat, blame-the-victim 'MLM income opportunity' cultic racket which has been hiding in plain sight and stealing from countless UK citizens.
More than half a century 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, 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 organised crime groups (hiding 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, recruitment leads, lead generation systems,' etc.).
The deceiving of Theresa May into associating with 'Juice Plus' and the subsequent use of her name and image to commit fraud and to prevent victims of that fraud from facing reality and complaining, forms part of an overall pattern of ongoing major racketeering activity.

What the hell were home office researchers doing allowing their Minister to make this gaff?
ReplyDeleteOne presumes that the visit to an innocent-looking locally-based 'business' would not have been given a very high-priority by Theresa May or any of her Home office people.
DeleteThe great strength of 'MLM' cults is their banal, indeed absurd, external appearance. Most casual observers assume that all cults are presented as 'religious,' so how can a cult be hidden behind a 'vitamin business?'
Remember, legalistically there is still no such thing as a cult in the UK.
What is perhaps the most ironic aspect of all this, is the fact that Theresa May is a self-proclaimed feminist, and groups like 'Juice Plus' have deliberately targeted women.
This tragicomic episode also demonstrates that almost anyone can be fooled by a cult.
Good point David. This would have been a front page scandal if Ms May had been opening a Scientology HQ, but she would not have been fooled by Scientologists.
DeleteAnonymous - Hopefully not, but don't forget that Tom Cruise has found it very easy to meet with politicians and opinion makers and that the resulting 'Useful Idiot' propaganda has lured victims into the blame-the-victim 'Scientology' cultic racket.
DeleteMore evidence our politicians are not living in the real world? Everyone with any sense knows MLM is a bloody scam!

ReplyDeleteThank-you Anonymous. I didn't understand what you meant at first, but after your follow-up Info, the penny has now dropped.
DeleteDavid have you seen this article in The Independent from 1995?

IT SEEMED an innocent enough invitation at first. A neighbour asked me round to discuss a new business she was involved with. Presuming she wanted some advice from a journalist about where she might publicise it, I agreed to pop round one morning .
We chatted about the neighbourhood and she told me a bit about her very successful business career as an importer. Then she got to talking about enzymes and medical curatives, and did I realise that the nutritional industry was one of the largest growingin the world? She said that she had been wanting to get into that area for a long time but only recently had she found a product she thought was really worthwhile. All very interesting. At this point a very attractive woman in a very short dress - who my neighbour said was also "involved" - arrived and sat in on proceedings, beaming encouragingly.
Did I know, continued my neighbour, about this wonderful product called Juice Plus, which was "flash-dried", powdered raw fruit and veg in capsules? Not a vitamin, not a dietary supplement, but the real thing. The company that made them was called NSA, and the amazing thing about all NSA's products was they are not available in the shops. How was it done? Had I heard of network marketing?
Her patter went on for about an hour before it dawned on me I was being baited to join a pyramid selling outfit. I should have walked out there and then, but I was too polite and her chat was too good. After I left I felt literally sick with stupidity athaving been duped so easily.
Thanks Anonymous . This is one of the most insightful articles ever to appear in the UK mainstream media. I first read this article when it was published. At the time, my brother was a fanatical 'Amway' adherent.
DeleteObserve how the author of this article typically doesn't go as far as to describe 'MLMs' as cults, instead he described them as 'cultish.'
I'm stunned! This article was more than 20 years ago and MLMs are still everywhere in the UK. How is possible Theresa May didn't know MLM = scam?
DeletePerhaps a more interesting question is how is it possible that Theresa May didn't know that Juice+ is the corporate-front for a blame-the-victim 'Prosperity Gospel' cultic racket, which once used O.J. Simpson as its pitchman.
DeleteIn 2016, legalistically, there is no still such thing as a cult in the UK and no anti-racketeering legislation either.
