Blog readers are reminded that the current US Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, is married to the son of one of the billionaire instigators of the 'Amway' racket. She is also the sister of Erik Prince.

Once it is clearly understood that Pat and Danene Conditt are deeply-deluded 'MLM' adherents (controlled by a totalistic 'us vs them' narrative), it might be possible for investigators to comprehend the destructive behaviour of Mark Anthony Conditt who has apparently been deprived of a traditional high-school education and taught by his mother.
Mountains of evidence proves that chronic 'Amway/MLM' adherents are programmed not to believe the mainstream media or listen to anyone challenging the authenticity of their group's fictitious controlling-scenario. However, the most-deluded 'Amway' adherents have been brainwashed with an extreme 'religious' scenario in which the 'Amway' movement is God's creation and is engaged in an ongoing war with evil
The following is a Part transcript of a recording entitled: ‘How to Handle Negative Websites,’ produced and distributed by the ‘InterNet Services Corporation,’ an organisation which was registered in the USA as a ‘privately-controlled limited-liability commercial company’ (independent of ‘Amway’), but owned by ‘Amway Diamond Distributor’, Dexter Yager.
‘I'm convinced more and more each day that this (‘Amway’) business was God's idea. What I'm saying is God created this (‘Amway’) business so that we could pull families together and help people — and the Devil does not like that ! If you don't believe there's a Devil, go on the Internet ! Man I'm telling you, there's a Devil ! The Devil does not like this (‘Amway’) business ! - He does not like the unity in this (Amway’) business ! All I want to say to you is: guys, if I were the Devil and I saw a business that was keeping marriages together, where that men learned how to love their wife … they're taught from stage in Leadership sessions how to love their wife … where women are taught how to really integrate the marriage … the husband and wife relationship … where parents are taught how to bring up their children and encourage them to speak life and positive things into them so that those children have good healthy self-images and believe that they can really do anything that they put their minds to do . If I saw a business that was responsible for holding those marriages and families together, and getting people out of debt, and learning how to treat people with dignity, respect and kindness … a business that gave people hope for freedom, hope for their financial future … that a person could not even succeed in this (‘Amway’) business without helping somebody else, and that the more people you help the more money you make… a business that teaches the principles of morals and ethics and integrity, that gives dignity to human life, that validates marriages an institution that should be reverenced that should not be put down or criticised or belittled .… If I saw a business that did all those things and so much more for humanity .… If I were the Devil, I'd hate it with a passion ! And I am convinced that not only does Satan hate the Church, I'm convinced with all my heart that Satan has good reason for hating this (‘Amway’) business. He has good reason for hating Dexter and Birdie and every Leader in their organisation. Satan hates this (‘Amway’) business with a passion, because this (‘Amway’) business stands for everything he hates ! And if you want to know whose behind those Websites, all I ask you is, who could it be… huh ? … Could it be Satan ?’
Pastor Mark Gorman 2001

'Multi-Level Marketing' Warning
The following deconstructed analysis has been formulated to sharpen the critical and evaluative faculties of all unwary persons approaching 'Multi-Level Marketing' from the dangerous (subjective) point of view that it must be a business, rather than from the safe (purely-objective) point of view that they don't really know what it is.
_________________________________________________________________________
More than half a century of quantifiable evidence, proves beyond all reasonable doubt that:
- the widely-misunderstood phenomenon that has become popularly-known as 'Multi-Level Marketing' (a.k.a. 'Network Marketing') is nothing more than an absurd, non-rational, cultic, economic pseudo-science maliciously-designed to lure unwary persons into de facto servitude, dissociate them from external reality and not only steal their money, but also deceive them into unconsciously acting the role of bait to lure other unwary persons (particularly their friends and family members) into the same trap.
- the impressive-sounding made-up jargon term, 'MLM,' is therefore, the misleading title for an enticing structured-scenario of control which has been developed, and constantly acted out as reality, 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 'Long Cons*' - comprising self-perpetuating rigged-market swindles**, a.k.a. 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.).
- Apart from an insignificant minority of shills (whose leading-role in the 'Long Con' has been to pretend that anyone can achieve financial freedom simply by following their unquestioning example and exactly-duplicating a step-by-step-plan of recruitment and self-consumption), the hidden overall net-loss/churn rate for participation in so-called 'MLM income opportunities,' has always been effectively 100%.
________________________________________________________________________
*A 'Long Con' is a form of fraud maliciously designed to exploit victims' existing beliefs and instinctual desires and make them falsely-believe that they are exercising a completely free-choice. 'Long Cons' comprise an enticing structured-scenario of control acted out as reality over an extended period. Like theatrical plays, 'Long Cons' are written, directed and produced. They involve leading players and supporting players as well as props, sets, extras, costumes, script, etc. The hidden objective of 'Long Cons' is to convince unwary persons that fiction is fact and fact is fiction, progressively cutting them off from external reality. In this way, victims begin unconsciously to play along with the controlling-scenario and (in the false-expectation of future reward) large sums of money or valuables can be stolen from them. Classically, the victims of 'Long Cons' can become deluded to such an extent that they will abandon their education, jobs, careers, etc., empty their bank accounts, and/or beg, steal, borrow from friends, family members, etc.
_________________________________________________________________________
** The enticing structured-scenario of control fundamental to all 'rigged-market swindles' is that people can earn income by first contributing their own money to participate in a profitable commercial opportunity, but which is secretly an economically-unviable fake due to the fact that the (alleged) opportunity has been rigged so that it generates no significant, or sustainable, revenue other than that deriving from its own ill-informed participants. For more than 50 years, 'Multi-Level Marketing' racketeers have been allowed to dissimulate rigged-market swindles by offering endless-chains of victims various banal, but over-priced, products, and/or services, in exchange for unlawful losing-investment payments, on the pretext that 'MLM' products/services can then be regularly re-sold for a profit in significant quantities via expanding networks of distributors. However, since 'MLM' products/services cannot be regularly re-sold to the general public for a profit in significant quantities (based on value and demand), 'MLM' participants have, in fact, been peddled infinite shares of their own finite money (in the false expectation of future reward).
Thus, in 'MLM' rackets, the innocent looking products/sevices' function has been to hide what is really occurring - i.e The operation of an unlawful, intrinsically fraudulent, rigged-market where effectively no non-salaried (transient) participant can generate an overall net-profit, because, unknown to the non-salaried (transient) participants, the market is in a permanent state of collapse and requires its non-salaried (transient) participants to keep finding further (temporary) de facto slaves to sustain the enticing illusion of stability and viability.
Meanwhile an insignificant (permanent) minority direct the 'Long Con' - raking in vast profits by selling into the rigged-market and by controlling/withholding all key-information concerning the rigged-market's actual catastrophic, ever-shifting results from its never-ending chain of (temporary) de facto slaves.
Although cure-all pills potions and vitamin/dietary supplements, household and beauty, products have been most-prevalent, it is possible to use any product, and/or service, to dissimulate a rigged-market swindle. There are even some 'MLM' rackets that have been hidden behind well-known traditional brands (albeit offered at fixed high prices). Some 'MLM' rackets have included 'cash-back/discount shopping cards, travel products, insurance, energy/communications services' and 'crypto-currencies' in their controlling scenarios.
No matter what bedazzling product/service has been dangled as bait, in 'MLM' rackets, there has been no significant or sustainable source of revenue other than never-ending chains of contractees of the 'MLM' front companies. These front-companies always pretend that their products/services are high quality and reasonably-priced and that for anyone prepared to put in some effort, the products/services can be sold on for a profit via expanding networks of distributors based on value and demand. In reality, the underlying reason why it has mainly only been (transient) 'MLM' contractees who have bought the various products /services (and not the general public) is because they have been tricked into unconsciously playing along with the controlling scenario which constantly says that via regular self-consumption and the recruitment of others to do the same, etc. ad infinitum, anyone can receive a future (unlimited) reward.
I've been examining the 'MLM' phenomenon for around 20 years. During this time, I've yet to find one so-called 'MLM' company that has voluntarily made key-information available to the public concerning the quantifiable results of its so-called 'income opportunity'.
Part of the key-information that all 'MLM' bosses seek to hide concerns the overall number of persons who have signed contracts since the front companies were instigated and the retention rates of these contractees.
When rigorously investigated, the overall hidden net-loss churn rates for so-called 'MLM income opportunites' has turned out to have been effectively 100%. Thus, anyone claiming (or implying) that it is possible for anyone to make a penny of net-profit, let alone a living, in an 'MLM,' cannot be telling the truth and will not provide quantifiable evidence to back up his/her anecdotal claims.
Although a significant number of 'MLM' front-companies (like 'Vemma', 'Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing', 'Wake Up Now') have been shut-down by commercial regulators, some of the biggest 'MLM' rackets (like 'Amway' ,'Herbalife', Forever Living Products' ) have continued to hide in plain sight whilst secretly churning tens of millions of losing participants over decades.
The quantifiable results of the self-perpetuating global 'Long Con' known as 'Multi Level Marketing,' have been fiendishly hidden by convincing victims that they are 'Independent Business Owners' and that any losses they incurred, must have been entirely their own fault.
Blog readers should observe how (in the above linked-videos) chronic victims of 'MLM' cults are incapable of describing what they were subjected to in accurate terms. Even though they are no longer physically playing along with the 'Long Con's' controlling-scenario, they unconsciously continue to think, and speak, using the jargon-laced 'MLM' script - illogically describing themselves as 'Distributors.'
Chronic victims of blame-the-victim cultic rackets who have managed to escape and confront the ego-destroying reality that they’ve been systematically deceived and exploited, are invariably destitute and dissociated from all their previous social contacts. For years afterwards, recovering cult victims can suffer from psychological problems (which are also generally indicative of the victims of abuse):
depression; overwhelming feelings (guilt, grief, shame, fear, anger, embarrassment, etc.); dependency/ inability to make decisions; retarded psychological/ intellectual development; suicidal thoughts; panic/ anxiety attacks; extreme identity confusion; Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder; insomnia/ nightmares; eating disorders; psychosomatic illness, fear of forming intimate relationships; inability to trust; etc.

Excellent sleuthing, David!!
ReplyDeleteCall me Sherlock.
DeleteYou might be interested to learn that the jaw-dropping Mark Gormon tape was handed to me by Eric Sheibeler. It was only available to 'Jewel Distributors.'
At that time, Eric confessed to me that, when he was a gung ho 'Distributor,' he would quite literally have wanted to attack physically anyone challenging his faith in 'Amway' and its 'leaders.'
David, I fear only those who can already see the truth of the delusion under which the Conditts operate have any hope of possible understanding their son’s behavior. The same old upholding of the supposed veracity of the Amway business in the articles you’ve posted.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt the 'Amway' mob will be air-brushing this tragic family out of their fairy story
DeleteThe videos posted by the Conditt's 'Amway' group are already being pulled from Youtube.
The one I posted a link to, and which has already vanished, looked supiciously like the 'Christian Survivalist' youth group, 'RIOT' which Mark Conditt is now being reported as having belonged to
The Camp Tejas thing? Yes I saw it. Vague and yet disturbing. Never heard of the Christian Survivalist youth group RIOT but I felt that sort of vibe.
ReplyDeleteIt was a journalist for the UK newspaper, 'The Independent,' who described 'RIOT' as a 'Christian Survivalist youth group.'
DeleteAmerican press reports say that Mark Conditt was a member of 'RIOT,' but explain that 'groups' for home-schooled kids are common in Texas and that they are created and run by parents.
Typically, everything that this 'Amway' group does has had the hidden objective of finding new prospects to recruit. The Website shows Mark Conditt's parents taking part in the apparently public-spirited activity of cleaning trash off the streets.
Perhaps we should explain to readers who missed the video-link, that Conditt's 'Amway' group has suddenly deleted these videos on Youtube that showed this Camp full of kids and adults bonding and playing competitive games.
The whole “everything in life is a battle” mentality seems so unChristian to me
ReplyDeleteThe classic gung ho 'Amway/MLM' mentality is one of no surrender and no retreat. Effectively every 'Amway' recruit who has bought his/her kit and obeyed orders to go over the top, has wound up as a casuality. The 'Amway' generals who teach this suicidal plan of attack and peddle all the kit, are well-behind the front line busily counting the cannon-fodder's cash.
DeleteI was in many meetings with the Conditts where "home-schooling" in order to not have the educational system indoctrinate the kids with failure mentality was preached. I remember them driving with all the kids many hours to come to meetings. My memories of the parents are that they were good people but there are many good people that get caught up in cult mentality. It took me years to recover when I left after 25 years of indoctrination and I was made out to be a really bad person by the upline "spin doctors" when I left.
ReplyDeleteThanks that for that wise perspective Anonymous. I'm in admiration of anyone who has recovered from this insidious phenomenon and can openly face the truth.
DeleteIf you want to get good people to do evil things, all you need to do is convert them to a dualistic ritual belief that inverts traditional morality and feeds them a false justification.
Anonymous - From what you saw of them, do you think the Conditts might one day be able to face the truth?
DeleteShocking personal experiences can sometimes lead to cult adherents distancing themselves from their group, where they find the time and space to start to use their critical faculties again.
Experiences don't come more shocking than the one the Conditts are currently going through.
I got involved in business through my fiancé who became my husband the next year. In the beginning things that happened were very positive. As the years went on I pretty much gave up everything to "build the business". I experienced the isolation and the control that the upline had over me more and more as we rose through the ranks. The money becomes a prison because they use it to control you. Amway pays bonuses based on volume but the system money (the motivational system) is dependent on criteria including you being a blessing to your upline and it can be taken away by the upline. I saw how much pressure was applied to people to invest in the system so that the upline could continue to make money from it. For instance, instead of using free tools for group communication, people must be a part of the system and pay for an app that handles the group communication and from which, the upline makes money. I did participate in that system until I just couldn't deal with that and the control any longer. I would watch people do crazy things and put their family finances in precarious positions when it wasn't necessary. I did not agree with many of the fundamentals that were being taught...such as, if you have marriage problems, build your business and your problems will be solved. I got a divorce and left the business, and I walked away from any involvement. In reaction, the upline spread lies and told people they didn't need to associate with me anymore. I had to rebuild my whole life, make new friends because I only had Amway friends after 25 years (taught by business that you needed to be around positive people- meaning Amway people). I found that I had to continuously question my thought processes on things because I had been so indoctrinated and I didn't realize how deep it went in my psyche. It was hard to explain but I luckily found a few friends who understood and helped me acclimate.
DeletePart 2-
DeleteMy point with this is to say that the longer someone is around, the more indoctrinated they become and the less they realize truth. At this moment, I am sure that their upline is meeting with people to make sure that the proper "spin" is put on the tragedy so that their groups and incomes from those groups are protected. The Conditts are likely to think their friends are coming in to help them and be grateful for the support. Knowing them and how long they have been around I would say it is unlikely that they would see the truth in this situation but would most likely lean more on their upline for support and be grateful for the help to protect their income. Unfortunately, many of the leaders truly think they are helping people and somehow they do not recognize the many more people who have been damaged. Like you said, because they are good people, they have to justify the way that they live.
The Amway groups teach people that they are the "enlightened" ones and everyone else is slaves to the jobs, the schools, and all of society. They don't really invert traditional morality but they do something that I think is even more dangerous, they bend it and present it as a higher morality. It is close to the truth (and part truth) and it is mixed with lots of emotional manipulation presented by people who appear to have everything that everyone wants and who want to help you get it too.
I was too much of a free thinker. I analyzed things too much and I also saw too many things behind the scenes that caused me questions and I became disillusioned to the point that I couldn't live a lie any more. Overnight,friends I had for 25 years wouldn't even talk to me to find out what happened- because their upline didn't want them around the "negative". You only see that nasty side of things once you leave and if you are low-profile they just let you go but if you are high-profile, they spread lies to justify why they don't want anyone talking to you anymore. As long as the Conditts stay around, they will have upline support and involvement and I think that makes it unlikely they will entertain any ideas of truth.
I am sorry that I cannot use my name but I assure you that I know that of which I write. I am willing to answer your questions, if you have any more.
Thanks Anonymous.
DeleteHave you written a full account of your 'Amway/MLM' experience?
Have you ever tried to complain about 'Amway' to regulators, journalists, political represetatives, etc.?
Are you aware that I have a brother in the UK who became a fanatical 'Amway' adherent in the 1990s?
I was told by my mother (who was completely under the control of my brother and his 'Upline') that if I went to the authorities to complain about 'Amway' being a fraud, I would no longer exist for her.
A correspondent has sent me a link to an article written by the child of 'Amway' parents and published in 2016
ReplyDeletehttps://granta.com/going-diamond/
‘I was seven when my parents joined Amway. Our house filled up with Amway products: boxes of Nutrilite™ vitamins, toaster pastries, Glister™ toothpaste, Artistry™ makeup. We washed our hair with Satinique shampoo; we washed our floors with L.O.C. ™ cleaner; we washed our dishes with Amway-brand dish soap; we strained our drinking water through Amway’s filter. Our friends were Amway. Our vocabulary was Amway. We were “Directs” going “Diamond”. We “showed The Plan” to anyone who listened.’
Another e-mail correspondent says:
ReplyDelete'My parents were Amway nuts with no friends outside. I couldn't wait to get away to Uni. Mum and Dad gave me Amway crap for birthdays and xmas and wanted me to help find recruits. I didn't talk to Dad for a long time. Dad doesn't mention any of this now. Mum says he's still ashamed. She admits they lost 1000s and it was definitely a cult.'
