So what should I say today? Am not sure, except that am no longer into pushing various opportunities. Especially those that I know you will not stick with for more than a month or two.
I just don't like doing the same thing over and over and over. Because when I do that i get the same results, and you do too. Mine may be a bit more profitable than yours, but, as you know if you've been with me for a few months or years, am not into just making money. Am already making good money via the two totally private opps that i keep mentioning in my blog. Despite the downturn in the US and Canadian economies.
Time are going to get much harder, I think. Hopefully the buy-in of $700 Billion will strengthen the US Economy. Somehow I doubt that it will happen though (I mean the upturn), well, not any time soon.
Despite all of the above, many of you will continue to try and earn money on the Internet. And it’s a minefield out there. Hence please avail yourself of blogs like mine and forums like CIF (link is on the left), where we can honestly tell you which ones to play in and which ones you should avoid.
I will also say that no matter how times become, if you trust in the Divine, you will always be taken care of. You will be in a position exactly where you are needed to be. Not just to prosper, but to learn lessons that you need to learn. And if you don't learn from your circumstances? Circumstances will only become more severe.
I know this to be true, and... somehow... so do you.
Just put your trust in the Lord, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, whoever it is you want to trust in. Just do it.
Finally, instead of playing in all these new games without promise? I suggest that you take a look at the second one on this page: (deleted) and follow the instructions quite carefully.

The $10 line will re-launch at DeepCycler once the Admin finds a server that can better handle the traffic. And that’s a good sign. It means a LOT of folks are interested in this cycler, which continues to cycle like the Energizer Bunny:
“Yes I'm refunding everyone’s spends. My server couldn’t handle the traffic and it gave some people an advantage over others and this isn’t fair so I'm going to refund everyone who managed to spend and then work on finding a better server and we will re launch the line”
Well. I trust Austin. He’s a nice guy, well-intentioned and so on. Truly. Of any Admin, this is one that I DO trust. Completely. js.
I’ve just added Cooldip’s interesting blog, on the left. Look for the icon!
Sept. 24th (Wednesday)
World Wide Loan Club has had their accounts closed by AlertPay (Admin says for no reason). Oh well.... never did recommend this one. In fact, warned folks against it.
This is a nice image, nothing to do with the post above! ok? OK!
Sept. 23rd (Tuesday)
On October 12th (and on from there) all re-purchases from balance at 10DollarsWonder will be effective in activating old positions in LOW priority to HIGH priority (1 per 1). That is not in effect right now. So you need to purchase NEW positions from a pay processor in order to make some LOW priority positions change status to HIGH for now.
And currently you need not follow the old rules about buying at least one new position in order to keep old positions active. All positions are now active, either in HIGH priority or LOW priority.
And I mean this!
New post re Russo and the rest.
Well, I agree with some folks... ok? And it is ok. I agree with Gene, and ... well ... others. And I forgive Ken. Ok? It's ok. But it may not seem ok. I hope most of you can forgive him. I truly do. If you cannot see the Light in your brother? Then it is not in you (but it is!)! And at the same time you can see the dark in your brother, because it is also in you! How else would you recognize it?
So you have a choice: see the dark or see the light! The Light! Up to you.
Am not being critical. Am appealing to your compassionate side. Which you have. Don't you? You do.

Watch this slideshow carefully. It warns against the dangers of using plastic containers in both microwaves and fridges! They release (allegedly) Dioxins that lead to cancer. Thanks to Blake for that headsup. But it may well be a hoax that has been circulated for a while now over the 'net.
And here is a refutation from John Hopkins/Bloomberg. I tend to agree with them re the freezing of water in plastic bottles. I can't see how that would release anything into the water (and yes, I have had two years of Chemistry in University). But using plastics in a microwave? Now that has some merit. Especially as microwaves alter the molecular structure of foods, and why not plastics?
Decide for yourselves. But I would be careful about using plastics inside the microwave ovens. Just in case.
I have just added Julian’s Blog (on the left, picture of an airplane). He’s a long term friend, blogger, reader of my blog, and so on. He contacted me today after a long time of absence and I am glad to have heard from him. He’s developing quite a few websites and it’s a good idea to keep an eye on those. So welcome aboard Julian! (To my blog list.)
Spiritual Experiences and how they affect our lives:
One of my friends, a well-known one on the Internet Scene, just sent me this observation:
I had a cool experience this morning. I was out side drinking my coffee and I was watching the sun rise and the thought came to me that this world will continue, the plants will thrive the birds will sing etc... no matter what problems I choose to create no matter what labels good or bad I choose to put on things. I thought that was pretty cool. Then I spent over 2 hours on the phone with the IRS and had basically a spiritual experience with the woman on the other end of the phone. It is amazing how kindness can be transmitted to others to help them
forgiveness helps too
js: And I agree! Forgiveness, kindness, not judging the other person on the other end of a call, or in direct contact, really does lead to peace. And that's what A Course in Miracles teaches you! The way to change the world is to change your mind about it. And forgive all the (apparent) others. They are only doing their jobs, or just having their fun!
And then I got another reply from my friend:
Thanks john. The coolest thing is to realize that for so many years I walked through this world asleep to these things not realizing the impact that my thoughts and actions have on others. To see the difference is really amazing for me...lol BTW at the end of the call to the IRS she wasn’t able to solve my problem. They lost my payment from last year somewhere... but the lady thanked me for having such a beautiful personality. It was pretty heart warming for me. Before I called though I heard you saying forgive them.
js: Now I won’t post his name here, or identity, but his phone number is 905-555-2512.
Sept. 21st (Sunday)
At the death of my friend's grandmother the Priest said that she has gone to a better place. Then I leaned over and whispered into my friend's ear: "You don't have to die to go to a better place, just drive 50 miles in any direction and you'll be in a better place".
There is an new line ($10) that will open up this coming Saturday at 10 AM EST at DeepCycler. It’s 200% ROI. Details are at the site.
Sept. 20th (Saturday)
Fantastic news from the second totally passive opp has just reached me.
I too was thinking about how they would be affected by the recent economic downturn. And the good news is that they are even profiting from it! So no worries.
Read the update that you received if you are a member. If you are not a member? Why not? Once you become a member I can send you the update, or you can ask them to do so.
ALL OF THIS IS IN FUN OF COURSE, BECAUSE IT IS A CRAZY WORLD, OK?
Well Ken Russo pre-empted me on the below. Instead of advising me? He simply took my e-mail, that was sent to him in private and in confidence, asking him for his advice for or against, and posted it in the ASA Forum with his reply, and after which he canceled all of my subscriptions to his newsletters and stating it so. Very professional, wouldn’t you say? Nice peace of work Ken! So.. you forced my hand and so am publishing everything I have so far on this. Thanks to you! Here is what I sent him and more:
Before you make a big mistake read the below and change your posts. I STILL have not posted all this in my blogs. OK? Now behave and be civil and so on. Seems you are picking a fight with me. Because I ASKED you before I was to post all that in my blog! But you jumped the gun and posted about it in ASA Forum! And to your detriment! So reconsider. I will sleep on it. Tomorrow I will post the whole f u cki ng thing! Got it? Cool. I still appreciate your advice and so on... but you are lacking some holes in some apps, you know? Just like all of us. And don't try to defend your ass by knocking down a nice blogger who is willing to understand other points of view! And ask first! Just like I have today! Dang! I did!

PROGRAMME REVIEW: Update: CashLinktFinancial
Well, I have to conclude that this one is a real big scam. Am sorry to the leaders out there who have not done their Due Diligence. Or.. am not. They simply have not done it.
First off, Robert Sanders is connected with SwissCash... which I railed against many times, as many of you will witness. It DID turn out to be a major scam! And Robert Sanders was connected with it. At least according to some info I have found and alerted to by Ivan. Thanks Ivan.
As well, Ivan mentions that in the Original Thread about CashLinkFinancial, Jake actually stated that Robert as connected with the past Swisscash outfit! But Jake at ASA says that in moving the original thread to a new location he lost it (how is that possible? Not!, Am a techie myself and know that it is highly irregular). And in the New Thread no mention of that is made. Yet some readers like Ivan recall it. So I googled Robert Sanders and SwissCash and found this post: (by the way, Jake? Am not accusing you of anything... just reporting on what folks have told me...related to this matter.)
"Dec 12 2007, 08:46 PM I think Snowball that it is legitimate. Whether or not they will be around for the long term is anybody's guess. These things come and go as fast as surf sites. They are clear of any Blacklist. I don't know who Robert Sanders is. He may be one of the people from Swiss Cash who supposedly founded this company in the Commonwealth of Dominica. The 300% plan sounds like Swiss Cash. They are supposedly backed by hedge funds, however, the site leads me to believe they are in currency trading. Japanese Yen, Euro's..etc. Then there is the matrix. I myself am not fond of matrixes. They say that you don't have to refer anyone to fill your Matrix, but I have never had any success with them whether I recruited or not. If you have to rely on spillover to fill your matrix, maybe that's a plus. Personally..I've never seen it happen. Your funds are only guaranteed for 15 days which isn't much of a guarantee. Meaning you can request your money back within 15days. The short term plan is 30 days. I do like the fact that they are not accepting any ecurrencies. They were supposedly told byt heir bank that if they accepted egold or ebullion that the bank would cease to do business with them because of the high level of fraud associated with emetals.. I wonder about their experience because it seems to me they should have known that. They are calling themelves a long term private program and they stress the fact that they are not a HYIP. I also like the fact that they have telephone support, but once they start getting swamped with phone calls those things are usually stopped. Are they legitimate..yes..I believe they are. Will they be here long term. I'm not feeling very confident about that. I might feel better about it if i could get a line on who Robert Sanders is, and what his background is. Perhaps some more information will surface. Hope that helps you with your decision. There isn't a whole lot available since they are so new. "
Note the association.
And basically, if you analyze the ROIs in this programme you will see that it emulates a classic ponzi. Not an investment programme.
For instance:
1.) Oct 20th, 08 Returns 10.00% 2.) Nov 19th, 08 Returns 10.00% 3.) Dec 19th, 08 Returns 10.00% 4.) Jan 18th, 09 Returns 15.00% 5.) Feb 17th, 09 Returns 15.00% 6.) Mar 19th, 09 Returns 15.00% 7.) Apr 18th, 09 Returns 20.00% 8.) May 18th, 09 Returns 20.00% 9.) Jun 17th, 09 Returns 20.00% 10.) Jul 17th, 09 Returns 25.00% 11.) Aug 16th, 09 Returns 25.00% 12.) Sep 15th, 09 Returns 25.00% 13.) Oct 15th, 09 Returns 30.00% 14.) Nov 14th, 09 Returns 30.00% 15.) Dec 14th, 09 Returns 30.00%
so to summirazi you have 3 PLANS:
1. long term 2. short term A 3. short term B
to participate in the short terms you need to have at least 50$ in the long term.
Thanks to Ivan for that data.
So am going to have to conclude that this is yet another scam from an owner or associate of Swisscash and do not recommend folks to join up with this one!

UPDATE: It appears that a major promoter of this one had issue with my pre-post, as I sent it to him in private, and in earnest, and before my publishing of this in my blog. But he chose to jump the gun and publish what I said in public, and discredit myself, or try, and remove me from his list (as he said in an email to me). Why I don't know. Can't folks on the 'net talk in civil? Dang. Well, here is what he posted on the ASA Forum before I even had a chance to post my above note in my blog:
"QUOTE (Ken Russo @ Sep 20 2008, 08:13 PM) * I have just received the following message form a well-established blogger whom I will not identify at this time....
Begin message from blogger ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ken, am about to post something in my blog that will discredit CLF. Jake, I think, deleted the old thread because he made a reference to swisscash... CLF and swisscash. OK? I blew the whistle on swisscash seceral times and was proven right.
I don't have proof, as the google archive has been changed/updated to the latest post from Jake.
Am about to publish my suspicions and get into more trouble.
Isn't this fun?
Your advice before I do that? Smells of a big scam to be Ken!
Here is some partial proof:

Since this person has asked for my advice I will respond.
Anyone who attacks a paying program because of a similarity to any other program is acting against the best interest of all of the members who have joined in good faith. It is true that SwissCash was a scam. No one can say that CLF is not a scam. As is the case with ANY program, only time will tell the real story. Right now CLF is paying and we have no reason to suspect the worst. We all enter these programs with the understanding that there is risk.
The blogger said - "Am about to publish my suspicions and get into more trouble. Isn't this fun?"
My response - If this is how you have "fun" so be it! However, when you discredit a paying program because you have "suspicions" I believe that you are acting in a reckless manner. [JS: may I remind you that I had not posted this until YOU posted my PRIVATE request to you in the ASA Forum? Hence.... I was NOT acting in any manner in which you choose! Or chose! But you forced my hand by NOT withdrawing your inflammatory post from the ASA Forum. Hence, now, I have had to post it! Idiot!]
Here is my response to his message....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name deleted,
I have just responded to your message in the ASA forum. Such you have chosen to discredit a paying program of which I am an active member, it is best that we sever our relationship. I have removed <email addy deleted> and <email addy deleted> from my contact list. Please remove my email address from your contact list.
Ken ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That is very interesting Ken.
As the blogger in mind chose you to be his person of advice. Before he were to publish his conclusions. But you seem to not have bothered to entertain changing that blogger's mind about all this. Instead you chose to publish his request to you, rather quickly. In hopes of what? Discredit? So that leads me to ask... do you have some substantial involvement in all this? Rather than the truth.
You disappoint me Ken. You really do.
The right thing that you should have done was to contact that person, and tell him or her your opinion, and advise whether to post or not to post! But you did not do that. You did the opposite. And that is unfortunate. (It was a private e-mail to you from that person, was it not? Was it NOT?)
js"
Hey, I forgive Ken! He’s just having his fun! Just like me! So no ill feelings. Just a message: get the truth, stick to the truth, and choose the side of the Holy Spirit, not the ego. Ok? As they are diametrically opposed and are in your Mind!

As you can see by now the Economy in the USA has been hit very badly. Many stocks have lost 90% of their value (such as those in AIG and these are not affected by the $85 Billion in aid from the Government). What to do?
I would stay calm. Things will get back to normal and even higher (I hope). But of course am not into stocks nor are qualified to advise you in any way. It’s just this blogger’s personal opinion and not meant as advice in any way.
Am having a second look at the Web 2.0 Upgrade that I reviewed a while back. It turns out that they are implementing this via a browser plugin (IE for now) and have generated a lot of interest with large Corporations and even Governments. So do not discard your account there if you already have one.
PROGRAMME REVIEW: CashLinkFinancial or CLF.
There are quite a few big leaders into this one.
It includes an upfront forced matrix (but we are also told we don't have to recruit in order to earn) and a backend where these folks are diversified into some instruments that they list (most of which I don't myself understand, except for ForEx and Real-Estate).
I've read most of the back and forth in the CLF thread at the ASA Forum ( http://www.asamonitor.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=10054 ) and have found mostly banter, accusations, bickering, and paid notices... but no real info on how much one can expect to earn outside of the matrix (as in due to trading in ForEx, RealEstate, and so on).
They are registered in Panama and hence, presumably, immune to the long hand of the SEC. This is likely true as p2p is in the same position and the so-called Authorities have failed to close them down so far.
Am not going to form an opinion as yet. I need further data and am in the process of obtaining such data.
But I will say... as compared to the info that any new member can receive from the first and second opps that I have found to be totally passive (no matrix, just a one time $25 or so fee to get started).... this one is quite the one.... as so far I have not found any data on their daily or monthly performance, nor how they fared in the last few days when the whole Market fell substantially. I would caution you to wait a bit and monitor the above forum to see how they fared in the last week or so and in the next week or two, due to the very bad news re the Markets at this time.
And support has been poor. In comparison to the two I mentioned, although the owner is apparently beefing it up soon.
So for now am trying to obtain more data and will announce to you, in this blog, whether am going to join or not.

This in from Cody:
Because of the severe attack by the devastating Ike, almost everything, especially the southern part in Texas, has come to a halt. John Kirk, owner of DRW/e-tradexchange/ETXAds, and his family had to evacuate from their home at the outskirt of Houston and are staying at a relative's place at least a hundred miles away from home. Since millions of homes lost power, they've also run into this problem, forcing them to go far away everyday to a place where they could plug their lap top in to do the "purging" for us so that we get paid in our accounts. Their server is not in Texas, so no issues there, but a curfew is now in effect in Texas, everyone has to stay indoor after a certain hour. This means that the Kirks only have a few hours a day to run their business.
Do feel safe to continue your normal adpack re-purchases, but please understand that it would take quite a few more days for the Kirks to go home and have access to power so that DRW/e-tradexchange/ETXAds can go back to normal.

I would guess that much on people’s minds is the subject of 10DollarsWonder, if they are members of course. How do I feel? I feel and think that the changes made will allow this cycler to survive even longer than it would have if the changes were not implemented.
On the other hand, I don’t much like having to wait one full month, to start, in order to withdraw 50% of my earnings. Oh well, as I said, it is a necessary change and those who choose to lock themselves in to the new feature will benefit more than those who do not. Time will tell.
If you are unable to access e-gold in your region then try this procedure, assuming you are on Windows:
Start Run cmd ipconfig /flushdns exit
Then tray it again. You see Windows contains a DNS cache (a copy of the DNS Tables from the nearest Router), and sometimes does not get flushed when DNS changes are made to a domain. That forces the local DNS table to be re-freshed.

Can somebody with some psychic abilities please help me find my glasses? Or maybe I don[‘t need them as my brain is a Fourier Transform decoder and so vision can be as perfect as desired? Or what? Please hurry.
Ok, found my glasses thanks to one of you and received the below email from another blogger, Gord, whom I list on the left side (look for the hand, he’s quite good) re one of the opps that I railed against and was proven right from the start (but am sad that folks lost money in that one, guess they did not read my blog or whatever):
“John, Forward from Admin:
Hi Bluenoser, ATTENTION: We have made the decision to remove all WorldWide Loan Club websites.
We made this decision based on several different factors: 1) We have been notified that peoples loans ceased as far back as Sunday, 09/07/08.
2) According to Support Ticket replies when people ask why they had not received their loan they received this reply, "The WorldWide Loan Club is now under new management. An audit is being done this week, and payouts will resume this weekend. Our apologies for the delay". In corespondences from those waiting payments this has not happened.
3) When the WLC website is back on-line and the program is functioning properly APN will once again be an avenue for advertising your WLC site to the affiliates of APN. APN appreciates your understanding and support in our decision.
Best regards,
Henrik - Admin.”

Wow! Ever since Admin at 10DollarsWonder implemented the priority cycling feature money has been pouring in! In fact I’ve made $121 in commissions and cycling in just under 24 hours, since yesterday’s posting! It’s amazing. It has brought new life to the longest cycling cycler this year or last! 10DollarsWonder! Go go go! Oh and DeepCycler is commended as well. I think this one will continue to last! So a commendation to both! Am really amazed that these two cyclers have lasted so long in an environment where there is uncertainty and doubt. They have proven themselves to be worthy of our attention! So be it!
Now remember, I have far more positions that most of you out there. So am faring much better. So do not be disappointed by your own cycling and earnings. OK? Yo see, am one of those serious guys that the Admin talks about in his update. Very serious.
Ah shit! Stubby has died! That’s Blondie’s cat, to whom I sent Reiki twice, it did help, but it did not keep her alive. Dang. I guess it was recall time. Some human must have reincarnated and needed her as part of his or her desires to manifest. At least some think so. Is this over your head? It’s ok. Just know it was Stubby’s time. My condolences to Blondie.

10DollarsWonder: High Priority Cycling option has been implemented. But to participate you must sign in, read all about it, and use the link (in blue at the top of the page) to turn it on. I won’t explain how it works here as it is well documented at the site. I’ve turned my cycling ON to High Priority Cycling. Should you? Only those who are serious in this particular business should do it.
Carole, thanks for sending me this hilarious joke: (but I think that it is according to George W Bush and not all Americans)

Just in case some of you did not read my BLOG a while back when I got banned by Jake of ASA Forum for questioning the integrity of the Oceanside Wealth Programme (and told him that it was his pet programme)? Here are some instructions from Ken Russo on how to get refunds directly from STP as the Oceanside Wealth “clowns” are not refunding, or not refunding fast enough, so STP staff are doing the refunds:
Get your refunds while you can. The folks at STP have no intention of being permanent babysitters for the clowns at Oceanside Wealth.
Follow these simple steps...
1. Prepare an email message with "Oceanside Wealth Refund Request" in the subject line
2. In the message body write....
Greetings STP admin team,
I am requesting a reversal of the payment sent to Oceanside Wealth. My transaction ID number is (insert ID number)
Thanks for for your assistance in this matter
Your Name
3. Send to - priority@solidtrustpay.com
Please read Serenity's post first and then my reply, which I reproduce here for your edification:
(Ok, I confess that I just needed something interesting to post, ok? Sheesh. At least to me.)
Hi Lydia, johnski here.
I have had many of those dreams. I am recently having more and more of those where I recognize that am actually dreaming. Instead of just being involved in the dream and everything is just ok as it is... am actually starting to question my life in those so-called dreams.
Are they alternate realities as per Seth? They could be, but all alternate "realities" are really just more dreams within the bigger dream or the Universes created by that part of our minds called the split mind, or the ego.
Remember that the ego is just a thought of separation from God. So each such though will likely "create" a new dream in which you are in.... and all at the same "time", so in parallel. So that is a good supposition by Seth, but does not go further , while ACIM explains it further.
I think that once you start finding out that you are in a dream, whether when you are sleeping or "awake"... that realization will start to undermine the "reality" of THIS dream, here on Earth. And those of us who experience such things will begin to question the "reality" of this place, and time.
So I'd say that Seth would better serve us all by saying that these are alternate dreams, rather than realities. As none of these are real, in the strict sense that the Course uses. The only reality or Reality is that of Heaven, the Unconditional Domain, the Divine Domain, and all else is unreal, and cannot harm us.
As to Jesus or the Holy Spirit entering this Dream or the Right side of the Mind? Remember that ACIM, at its core is a non-dualistic Teaching. Hence in Reality there is no right mind, no wrong mind, no split mind, not even an Observer or Decision Maker, none of those exist, have never happened, nor are happening now. But while we seem to be appearing in a Dream? It is a necessary Mythology. One has to start somewhere, right? (In order to appeal to folks stuck in this dualistic and conditional and apparently separate “reality”.)

Ok, this is very cool indeed. If you ever get a download that you suspect needs to be scanned for viruses and have only one viruscan pgm running? Check this out: http://virusscan.jotti.org/
You can upload the .exe file, or whatever, they will scan it using 19 viruscan programmes! Amazing. And free.
Am appalled at the new crop of Internet Marketers.
They seem to think that by sending me some spam e-mail (which address they got from buying a paypal or other list) that says only "Hi!" in the Subject line and then some other innocuous saying in the Body of the text along with their link that I will actually be curious enough to click on the link?
Wow. Such idiocy. My DEL trigger finger is happy! And quick. I delete most of these types of emails, as it is difficult to trap them in the Junk folder, or even via Rules in the e-mail client I am using.
Sometimes I even delete important e-mails that may lead me to a good opportunity because of all this.
But... I can't really complain. It is what it is. Everyone is trying to make a buck on the 'net.
And I can't blame them for that. Everyone, pretty well (those 97% that are not part of the Rich Families) is hurting these days. And the Internet is a great promise and opportunity, apparently. But in the end most of these folks get cheated, left and right.
The only thing I can tell you is how I succeeded from my own experience. And basically that is by holding down a day job while I developed a blog and a following of readers. After about 5 years I was able to make enough money to quit my day job, and eventually even find a few of those close clubs that are allowing me to make enough money to stay out of a day job.
It's a simple formula. But it takes years to get there. On the other hand, you may be more fortunate and come across some or another programme that pays you big, or have your own invention put into production, or win a lottery and some such.
These are just my rambling thoughts.

UPDATES:
Second Passive Opp that is still open: just got an update that they have done exceptionally well in the last two months, just like in the two previous months, and will be passing on a bonus to all of us! NICE!
10DollarsWonder: I just repurchased 4 positions to keep my account active. Don't forget to purchase at least one position in your account, else your positions will go inactive.
DeepCycler: I repurchased my earning in the $1 line to help cycle folks out of that one.
The Private Millionaire: I continue to get a $16 payment about every other day, so I can't complain about it. No way.
jifond.com: Avoid. Scam.
Every time the phone rings these days I answer like this: “Green, Orange, Blue, not the right response?” not necessarily in that order, and those telemarketer calls just go cold. I wonder why they don’t respond? I’ve also tried: “Yes, yellow, aha, who?” and those get dropped as well. Darn it! Poor telemarketers!
Sept. 8th (Monday)
Taking the day off today.
Sept. 6th (Saturday)
Is this Saturn’s day?
Sept. 5th (Friday or Fria’s day)
Who let the dogs out? Ok, I have about 100 faces with question marks on 6dgr.com:! Here is what you should do if you are one of them: Go to Photos, upload your first photo! That will be your Avatar or Photo, ok? Am tired of looking at question marks!
I got this interesting response from a reader of mine, and it was a pleasure:
Sept. 4th (Thursday - is that Thor’s day? The god of thunder? Likely.)
Who sent me the link to BankRobbers? I can’t find the e-mail, so send it to me again.
Hey, visit the 6dgr forums... could be fun. At least it was for me! I posted all over the place, especially in the Spiritual/Mystic forums! Haha! Yes I enjoyed it. js
http://www.6dgr.com/index.php?mode=forums
I’ve just added two K to the first opp (which does not accept new members right now) and in which I have some real and substantial funds. As to the second one? Am going to be withdrawing seven or more K to buy a new/used car! It’s about time! Ask me about the second one, as they still accept new members. If you wish. I started with seven K there and now am up to eighteen K or so. Six months I think. Not bad eh? That’s what we all like to see! Amongst all these scams! Oh and I have far more than that in the first one. I will notify you, if you wish, when they reopen to new membership.
Well, I’ve put in another fifty at Wilkens and Brothers via STP. I’ve received payments from them and it seems to be working. Read my detailed analysis below before you decide to join. If you do decide to join? In the comments area, when you are paying, note this: STP micronuts, or just micronuts. That way I do get some sort of commission.
PROGRAMME REVIEW: myturn4bux.com
They claim they have been running three plus years now. But they do not show at alexa.com at all! And the site was created on 9th April, this year.
Hmmm....
I don't like folks who lie, do you?
Looks like a Goldcoders.com script but is not licensed.
"MYTURN4BUX is a high energy group of internet ads.
We have been doing this for over 3 years and networking for over 15 on the net.
Yes we are using an HYIP script but we do NOT rely on new money, our ads do the work for us. We are a step ahead of most any program you will ever find.
WE DO ALL THE WORK YOU "NEVER EVEN HAVE TO PLACE AN AD""
So if they do use a script, presumably from Goldcoders? Why haven't they paid the measely $95 or $145 or so (for the one with mass payout)????? Beats me.
Well, the programme seems to be only two days old. So may last 10 to 15 days.
Up to you. Ponzi most likely. ROIs are way too high for anything else.
Am going to chance fifty from e-gold. (Note: Am not recommending nor not recommending... some like it, some don’t.)
Subject: Oceanside Wealth Update - More Information - Refund Process
Here is more information from Stella...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is Stella, one of the owners of SolidTrust Pay.
I want to publicly state the situation with OceanSideWealth and SolidTrust Pay.
1) OceanSideWealth has a fully bank verified account with STPay and have in fact already initiated large amounts of ACH transfers OUT of their account. Their original account, "bigbadboy" is NOT a verified account as the account owner has never added any banking information to their profile so we have nothing to check it against. Our verifications department has asked them to input this information and to date, it has never been done.
2) The company asked us to create a new account with a different username, as "bigbadboy" was not appropriate. I was told by the company owner directly on a phone conversation that they no longer wished to use that username, and that their programmer would be changing the script so that their API pointed to the new, more appropriate, username.
3) the owner (whom I have spoken to personally) has my direct, private email and I have not heard from him in over 3 weeks. He also has my direct phone number. We have received NO EMAILS and NO PHONE CALLS from this company!
4) we have received numerous complaints about this program from people requesting refunds. To date, very few refunds have been issued to STPay members and we have NOT removed ANY funds from either account.
5) NO funds are frozen in the accounts AT ALL. I personally created the new username account and moved funds from the original one at no charge and with no transfer fee.
6) I have left phone messages on the personal cell phone of the owner of this program and no calls have been returned to me.
7) secondary passwords are never lost or misplaced - if the user cannot remember it or has not written it down they do have to contact us for a re-issuance. Our security department has issued 3 new secondary passwords to this company at their request.
Their mention of lawyers and legal proceedings is just plain silly. Their accounts are NOT frozen, or suspended or anything and, as mentioned, we have had NO contact. All we HAVE had is a host of complaints and refund requests.
We have NOT removed ANY funds from this account and the admin is not answering my phone calls.
If this company wishes to use SolidTrust Pay they are certainly welcome to. But if they do not wish to use our services, it is NOT for the many reasons they state below.
I again invite any forum moderator or the company owner to contact me directly via phone or email. They have my personal email on file.
Any OceanSideWealth member with comments or questions is welcome to write: priority@solidtrustpay.com with any issues or comments.
As I have stated before, how anyone with an ounce of ethics or professionalism can continue to support the Oceanside Wealth program is beyond me. The folks at OW have demonstrated a total lack integrity which began with their affiliation with Broker Jones with whom they conspired in preparation for their "secret launch" and which continues to this day as evidenced by Stella's statement above. Knowing that, I cannot understand how anyone can promote Oceanside Wealth with a clear conscience. - I think that was from Ken. Thanks Ken!

DeepCycler is back with a vengeance! It’s cycling really well. All of my $5 and $6 positions have cycled and I’ve re-spent all of the profits as I’ve already earned enough in this one. So time to keep helping others. And I think this one will last well into September or even longer! It’s proving itself and the clientele are as well! And that’s the key.
Well, after researching on the 'net am fairly sure it is a scam. So avoid it.
"A friend of mines urged me to sign up for LPC aka LaPromesa Corporation for a new cell phone launch that offers affordable cell phone plans for consumers and offers great competitivtive salaries for job seekers. I welcomed her inivitation but after drawing into my 'common sense' bank something just wasn't right. My friend provided me with the sign in ID and password which was past to her from one of her friends.
I happened to get stucked into signing up but was on the safe side and refused to enter my social (never do this especially when the websites address does not show it's hyperlink as https this means it is not a secured site). The application ask for your name, address, phone number and 5 references to include their phone numbers.
After submitting the very short application the site provides you with a member #. Then you wait and you wait and you have more time to think what a mistake you made becuase this is a scam. If it sounds to good to be true... well you know the rest. Be very careful as this scam is fairly new and not much reliable sources can vouch for his trueness or provide any follow up information. Under no circumstances should you release any personal information on the internet or the phone as most large corporation have your information secured in its databases and will never ask for the information in detail again.
Based on my experience and observation LPCglobal.net appears to be a scam like may others. Spread the word.
Anonymous Kissimmee, Florida U.S.A."
and here is another post that I found:
"About a month ago I was at The Georgia Department of Labor searching the employment data base. After I concluded my search I was given a referral a a Manager's position. I was give a contact person 'Kay Kennedy', I talk to her she ask me send her my resume via e-mail. 'LPC Global' was the name of the company on the referral given to me by GDL Personel
I was contacted early this week about a position with this company and was told to go to web site, and enter my application. It was only after I finish the application, and hit the submitt button that it struck my strange that there was only one page to complete. The page that would have have all of my vital information on it. It was not a job application at all. I don't think the GA Dept. Of Labor is aware of this individual and her preying on job seekers.
I was told that a person by the name of 'Marco' would give me the necessary information to gain access to web site application. The Job was a regional Management positon, with three district manager position that I would have to hire for and seven coordinator positions. I was told to go ahead and look for the three people that will be my direct hire and enter their information into the system before June 30, 2008, which is the dead line for all Manager's positons The job offer is a follow: 50K a year, $1000, month expenses, Leased car, and cell phone.
I have never seen Kay Kennedy, or Marco, Now they are saying that there is a grand opening For LPC GLOBAL July 25, 2008 in Miami. By invitation only. This is clearly more than Internet Fraud. It is Telephone Fraud, Use of a Federal Government (Georgia Department of Labor) agency fraud.
Ann Atlanta, Georgia U.S.A."
CONCLUSION: this one is a scam!

DeepCycler is up and running on the new server.
It’s a Holiday here. Long day indeed.
Aug. 31st (Sunday)
DeepCycler had to be moved to a new server and should be back up shortly. So for now it’s as if it is frozen in time but not in space. It will go boldly where no cycler has ever gone before, so just stay tuned. I expect it to be up maybe sometime tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Trust me. Shhhhh........
Hope she is feeling better. Also hope the owner is feeling better today as well.
Do you remember all the broohaha about Oceanside Wealth? And my being banned for a few days by Jake of ASA for questioning the efficacy of that programme? Well I have been vindicated (meaning I was right all along)! Here is a post that Ken Russo recently sent out:
“Many members continue to report that their refund requests are being ignored. The supporters of the program, most of whom are members of Team Avalanche headed by Broker Jones, continue to pretend that all is well with Oceanside Wealth. I have heard that as many as 1000 members have either requested a refund or will not be making their monthly payment. In any event, those who have not received a refund should follow the instructions below which are posted in the MMG forum.
If you do not receive your refund within 4 days of sending your request please go the MMG forum and post your report. The direct link to the thread is....
The folks running the program must be held accountable for their deceptive and very disturbing behavior.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you need a Refund, were misplaced in the matrix, or are stuck in "pending" even though you paid" Please read below and follow the instructions. The format and email refunds:
1. OSW User Name 2. Name Of Payment Processor 3. What Each Processor Requires: Alert Pay: email address Strict Pay: account number Solid Trust Pay: user name u-gotcash: email address 4. A Copy & Paste Of Proof of Payment. (Copy and Paste your Transaction) 5. Email all refund requests with the appropriate information to: oswrefunds@live.com”
Thanks to Ken for that hard work and info and efforts to help others. - js

RECIPE: Martian banana sweet sandwich.
WARNING: This recipe contains scenes of violence. Reading discretion is advised.
Instructions must be followed to the letter else you will spoil the taste and compromise the energetic integrity of the final product.
Ingredients:
- one healthy banana, peeled - two slices of toast - pumpkin seeds, unsalted - sunflower seeds, unsalted - honey or some kind of jam - peanut butter (optional)
Coat one of the pieces of toast with peanut butter. If you are allergic to peanut butter? Then don’t!
Find a smooth surface, be it a table, chair, or the floor will do as well.
Place a clean kitchen towel on the the flat surface, carefully smooth it out. With the index finger carefully trace the outline of the cloth in a clockwise direction three times in order to purify the cloth of all malignant energies and vibrations.
Surreptitiously place the pealed banana in the exact center of the cloth with one end pointing North and the other somewhat South. This aligns the banana's electromagnetic energy with that of the Earth, at least locally. If you do not know which direction is North then obtain a compass and figure it out, idiot.
Now carefully fold the cloth so that it covers the banana. On tiptoe (you don't want the banana to suspect what is about to happen) go to the cupboard and carefully take out the wooden dough kneader, the kind you use to beat your husband with.
Pound that banana with the kneader in a frenzy. But do not get angry. Anger will impart angry energies and vibes to the banana. Now pretend you are kneading dough and carefully and with great intent and concentration smooth out the mess so that the banana (still inside the cloth) is 1/4 inch flat. The banana has now experienced a rebirthing.
Carefully open the cloth and using a spatula carefully separate the banana from the cloth.
With great intent place the beaten banana on one slice of the toasted bread. Then place a gob of honey in the center of the banana (or use your favorite jam). Use your mathematical skills to determine the exact center of the banana. But if you are mathematically inept, then just guesstimate. Now smooth out the substance over the surface of the banana.
If the flattened banana exceeds the perimeter of the toast carefully fold the edges over so that the banana is within the perimeter of the said toast.
Sprinkle a generous amount of sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds on the sticky mess. If flax seeds are available then feel quite free to add those as well.
Cover the entire affair with the other piece of toast and press gently down on the center and the corners of the toast.
Now obtain a chopping knife (butcher knife will do nicely) and with great speed and virile strength chop that sandwich diagonally in two.
Now with your index finger repeat the above cleansing procedure to purify the sandwich of all angry energy and vibes, just in case. After all, all that pounding and chopping usually comes with some pent up anger released. You don't want to re-injest all of that, do you?
Carefully sit down on the floor and attempt to get into a full lotus position. Pretend if you can't. Pick up one half of the sandwich with only the index fingers and thumbs and gently insert into your mouth. Proceed to chew 32 times and then swallow. Repeat this procedure until satiated. Ensure you breath deeply inbetween bites in order to improve your digestion.
Expectorate if desired.
You may pass on this recipe to everyone world-wide.
Author: johnski, also known as js and micronuts and kookoo. Oh and radiantjs.
DISCLAIMER: Results may vary based on the amount of beating the banana receives. As well I do not take any responsibility for any damages that may occur as a result of following this recipe.

Those of you who have joined or will be joining 6dgr: the way to get your photo/avatar added so that it appears in the friends list (and also on the Sign Up page for others to see) is to sign in to your account, click on the Account link on the far right toolbar (up top) then click on the PHOTOS tab in blue, scroll down and the first photo you add (of yourself or whatever you like) will be the one that will appear in the friends list at other folks’ websites who have you as their friend. Weird, yeah.
Remember, signup is free and you earn very nice bucks on three levels of free signups. Now, I don’t feel that this is a Phishing site. There is no indication of that. If you are unsure? Do not enter any payment details as yet. As I have not either (because am not in the USA).
Last night I had a vivid dream and learned an important lesson.
In the dream I kept losing my spot at various tables where I was supposed to sit with others, friends, and so on. Each time I would get up and walk around, then return, I would find that my things were moved to another, less advantageous, spot at another table, further and further to the side of the stage.
Then some folks started accusing me of stealing diapers and not paying for them. Food as well. (I was part of a Community and recognized some of the folks.)
So I started to get angry and refused to pay the full amount demanded of me. I started yelling, and telling folks that I was not the one who stole those diapers, after all, what need have I of diapers? But folks would not listen to me.
The details are not important, even if somewhat absurd. The key was that I was beginning to feel like a victim and because I was being blamed I started to get angry and lash out at people, and that frightened them. And further, after I continued to lose my spot at the tables, I became depressed a felt abandoned.
Then suddenly, while still asleep, an understanding came to me. I realized that what I just experienced was a dream. Hence it was not real. Hence I need not feel like a victim, nor feel anger, nor feel rejected or abused, because it was all not real, just a dream. And thus I did not even have to forgive anyone, as it never happened!
What a relief! You see, one of the key principles in A Course In Miracles is that we should be using forgiveness in order to wake from THIS dream, to find the Light that is beyond the clouds (and in our brothers and sisters), not in the clouds where we are all searching for the Light.
Also, the Course teaches that there is an ultimate form of forgiveness, and that is to realize that all past hurts, all past guilt, sin, and so on.... never happened! (Because we have never left Heaven, never separated from God, but are merely dreaming of a terrible separation or fall from Grace.) So there is no one to forgive, nothing to forgive, because nothing has happened.
You see, it's fine to understand all that intellectually, but unless you experience what is being taught, you will never quite "get it". And I also know that one need not experience those lessons in this waking dream, one can learn those lessons in the nocturnal dreams. Which I just did. So now the lessons around forgiveness in both of its forms are real for me.
PROGRAMME REVIEW: 6dgr (six degrees)
I got this invite from Sergio re a new Social Networking Site. Before you dismiss it watch the pdf presentation below. This one appeals to adults, not teens. And it pays three levels deep on FREE signups, that's how serious they are. This one is most likely going to be the third largest Social Networking Site on the 'net.
Hint: when signing up you may get frustrated over the turing code. If you get it wrong, don't use the go back link on the next page, but use the back button so you don't have to retype all of your info, just your passwords. As well, if you see what looks like a lower case q it's most likely a 9. It took me eight attempts to sign up because of that code!
Here is the invite, with my links in there of course. Finally, if you're not in the USA, you can join, it's just that you will be able to get a debit card a few weeks later.
PS: Sure, it's tedious signing up and filling out all that info, but if you have friends? You can make some good mula. Plus this one is attracting adults so should be good for networking.
Enjoy!
PROGRAMME REVIEW: http://www.finofex.com/?ref=64
All you need to do is to look at the return (ROI) on each of the plans to determine for yourself if this one is really trading on the ForEx market or is just a ponzi in disguise.
Well, the ROI ranges from around 20% per month to over 30% per month. Even the best ForEx traders will have a return of about 20%.... .on occasion! On average you can count on 10% or less (the trader may do better than that... but he or she has to put bread on the table... so you get less).
Plus, collecting money to trade in ForEx without setting up accounts with brokers on your behalf is.... illegal.
Am pretty sure that just based on that analysis one can say that this is a pure ponzi in disguise. So this one is likely a high risk programme, depending on how long they have been around.
Ok, I have a new/old recipe:
Ever since I was infected with that Maple Leaf Foods bacterium? Am switching back over to what I used to eat.
And here is one recipe:
Buy the following:
1. Sprouts that you like, or grow your own, I will tell you how to do that later on, using plastic bags. 2.. Yve's (or some one else's) simulated hot dogs, big ones, ok? 3. Organic tomatoes (the ones that have a code starting with a 4? Genetically engineered! Sad to say, unless you get yours from a farmer? You can't avoid it.) 4. Organic cucumbers (same comment as above) 5. Sprouts, best you do your own by buying the seeds, taking a plastic bag, poking some holes in the bottom, then hanging that over our sink and adding water each day. After a few days you will have your own sprouts. So why pay for them? And hopefully they are not GMS. 6. Maybe some green peppers (and/or red and/or yellow.) 7. Avocadoes! Not necessarily ripe... some will ripen and some are ripe. 8. Wraps, either whole wheat or not. The ones that are not whole what are better behaved. So I prefer those. The whole what ones break up too much. Matters not. Not really. Ok? Consider all the other ingredients. (But the whole wheat ones make a dang mess!)
Now, take the fake hot dogs and slice them in two.
And fry them in some Olive Oil. Until they are all brown all around.
Now load up a wrap with all of the above ingredients (and even garlic!) and shove it into your mouth! Yummm! You can also add hot sauce, or Soya Sauce and so on. Up to you.
In any case, makes for a very good and tasty lunch or dinner!
johnski; maybe Serenity/Lydia will publish this as one of the recipes on her site???? Just wondering. Love ya!
Aug. 28th (Thursday, somewhere in the World)
I do not understand the latest commercial on TV about this blown glass water-retaining moisturizer that water plants perfectly?
Basically, I don't understand it and don't believe it. They say that the drying of the soil causes the soil to release oxygen and hence the water is released (really? never heard of that).
But... hey. Yes, I understand that a vial like that needs air or oxygen to replace the liquid that is being released... but why would drying soil release oxygen? DOES IT? I doubt it. So what is going on? Or maybe I don’t recall my biology and chemistry as well as I should. You tell me.
I have never heard of that particular theory. Is it right? I doubt it. So it seems to me to be a gimmick like the pet rock.
Some of these movies portray the finest performance by victimizers and victims.
Finest.
And this tends to occur from lifetime to lifetime, apparently, with roles reversed. And you can see it practically in all the movies out there. Whether the crime is murder, or some kind of revenge, or push off, or unmasking, or other damage to character, or physical body. Wow.
And that's all appearing in this Universe of egos and egoic activity.
And it is truly profound and varied and immense. And small. Nothing escapes the ego's attention to detail. To convince you that this world is real. That guilt, and sin, and fear, and anger, and then revenge, are real and deserved.
On all accounts.
Wow. That's all I can say tonight. Best you avail yourself of A Course In Miracles (www.acim.org) and also, first and foremost, the first Gary R. Renard book, which will save you 20 years of study of ACIM, called "The Disappearance of the Universe" (the link is on the right, top).
Trust me. Or don't. But get the book and read it. Maybe you will wake up sooner as a result. Or later. I don’t really care. But you appear to. As you are reading this. OK? Gotcha! Haha! Now let’s have some fun!

T-9.VII.6. You cannot evaluate an insane belief system from within it. 2 Its range precludes this. 3 You can only go beyond it, look back from a point where sanity exists and <see the contrast.> 4 Only by this contrast can insanity be judged as insane. 5 With the grandeur of God in you, you have chosen to be little and to lament your littleness. 6 Within the system that dictated this choice the lament is inevitable. 7 Your littleness is taken for granted there and you do not ask, "Who granted it?" 8 The question is meaningless within the ego's thought system, because it would open the whole thought system to question.
T-9.VII.7. I have said that the ego does not know what a real question is. p176 2 Lack of knowledge of any kind is always associated with unwillingness to know, and this produces a total lack of knowledge simply because knowledge is total. 3 Not to question your littleness therefore is to deny all knowledge, and keep the ego's whole thought system intact. 4 You cannot retain part of a thought system, because it can be questioned only at its foundation. 5 And this must be questioned from beyond it, because within it its foundation does stand. 6 The Holy Spirit judges against the reality of the ego's thought system merely because He knows its foundation is not true. 7 Therefore, nothing that arises from it means anything. 8 He judges every belief you hold in terms of where it comes from. 9 If it comes from God, He knows it to be true. 10 If it does not, He knows that it is meaningless.
T-12.IV.2 The search the ego undertakes is therefore bound to be defeated. 2 And since it also teaches that it is your identification, its guidance leads you to a journey which must end in perceived self-defeat. 3 For the ego cannot love, and in its frantic search for love it is seeking what it is afraid to find. 4 The search is inevitable because the ego is part of your mind, and because of its source the ego is not wholly split off, or it could not be believed at all. 5 For it is your mind that believes in it and gives existence to it. 6 Yet it is also your mind that has the power to deny the ego's existence, and you will surely do so when you realize exactly what the journey is on which the ego sets you.
T-12.IV.3. It is surely obvious that no one wants to find what would utterly defeat him. p223 2 Being unable to love, the ego would be totally inadequate in love's presence, for it could not respond at all. 3 Then, you would have to abandon the ego's guidance, for it would be quite apparent that it had not taught you the response you need. 4 The ego will therefore distort love, and teach you that love really calls forth the responses the ego <can> teach. 5 Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for love, but will not recognize it.

Took the day off yesterday. Back to my post here, there, and somewhere else.
I was watching TV and noticed a public announcement by the President of Maple Leaf foods about cases of listeria bacteria outbreak in many of their meat products and in those that use their products.
Finally it hit me. Over the last month I've suffered the following symptoms four times: vomiting, nausea, diarrhea (but not death, as you can see). And I had been consuming sandwiches from the local Convenience Mart as well as other meats from the local Grocers.
The average gestation period is 30 days and has already lead to 12 deaths with 3 in the Province of Ontario. Fortunately I survived.
Here is more info:
More listeriosis cases expected; Maple Leaf Foods expands recall Last Updated: Monday, August 25, 2008 | 12:18 AM ET Comments82Recommend155 CBC News
The number of suspected and confirmed cases of listeriosis is expected to increase in the coming weeks because of the bacterium's long incubation period, Canada's health minister said Sunday evening.
So far, there are 21 confirmed cases of listeriosis from food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, and 30 cases remain under investigation, Health Minister Tony Clement said at a news conference in Ottawa.
Symptoms of listeriosis, which include vomiting, nausea and diarrhea, occur up to 70 days after contaminated food is consumed, with the average incubation period of 30 days, public health officials said.
"So we expect both the number of suspected cases and the number of confirmed cases will increase as the investigation continues and samples continue to be received from provincial, territorial and federal partners," Clement said.

There is a wonderful post by Serenity in her blog today and yesteday. Have a look. It is refreshing and makes you wonder. Just like I do.
Alrighty then. This one is free for the first account. Then $5 per year for subsequent accounts/pages to be advertised.
Basically, once you sign up for your free account you will get both a referral link (if you wish to promote this one) and also your wrapper link.
What you will be doing is advertising your favorite opps, pages, websites, affiliate products, but via the wrapper link.
The wrapper link will display the page you intended to advertise, but at the bottom it will add a ... sort of... surf bar, which allows folks to sign up with cashwrapper and so on. And YOUR site will be advertised on member sites as well. All the info is there. Just read the details.
Am trying it out.
But I warn you: DO NOT advertise links via your wrapper link that have Adsense ads on it. As that would break the rules and regulations and you may lose your account at Adsense.
This one is a sixth stage Teaching with 7th Stage intuitions. The video is short, but full of Truth. View it. Or if you are afraid? Do not. See it. Oh and thanks to Johnstone for sending this one to me.
August 21st (Thursday)
I one day spilled some Fiber product on the carpet. And after a good rainfall due to the moisture it started to inflate and look like barf (vomit). Am still watching it grow.
So I took a piece of paper and wrote that this is not barf, but some fiber product I spilled. And put that note on the barf-looking stuff just in case I die soon (heart attack I think) and the LandLady freaks out.
Then I spilled some cayenne pepper on three spots on the carpet (not intentionally) and am going to post a note on that as well. Saying it is cayenne, and not blood. Oh and I also, for some reason, spilled some CalMag powder in another spot and am going to post a note on that as well. Just so they know and not waste their forensic time.
Well, despite yesterday’s confession am still going to update this blog, look into various opportunities, and most of all... keep finding new totally passive opportunities for you and for myself. And now... for an update on Wilkens and Brothers:
Looks good enough for the next three months. Enough time to get into profit. Do not re-spend.
The key forum for discussing the Wilkens and Brothers opp where the Admin mainly hangs out is here: http://mycashforum.com/index.php?showtopic=8972 (thanks to Blondie for finding that one) but you must register if you are going to post there.
PROGRAME re-REVIEW: Wilkens and Brothers
Just to show you that am not just promoting this programme for my own benefit I have done some further research.
And what am about to post does NOT mean that I do not recommend this one any longer. Am just giving you more info to help make up your mind, either way. I myself will continue to invest, despite the anomalous answers that the Admin gives to various questions posed in the key forum. Join instructions are in yesterday’s post.
I have been studying the Admin's posts in the mycashforum (link is in the post above and thanks to Blondie for finding that one). There are some anomalies, or, rather, the Admin is being evasive and is not answering direct questions.... directly.
PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH THIS RE-REVIEW IN ANY FORUM OR I WILL SEND MY ARMY FRIENDS TO PAY YOU A VISIT.
As well, to Robert (Admin), no need to tell me that I should not post this in my blog. The forum in which you have posted all of your answers, below, is viewable by the public, just like my blog is. So that would be moot. Am just trying to keep my readers well-informed about their choices. And, despite all the evasiveness am going to continue to participate.
So here we go.....
Here is an example:
"Dear forum members,
Many of you have e-mailed us and wanted to know if the ROI that we offer can be attained. Yes, it can because the ROI offered is realistic, the ROI is based on the market trend and our performances in the markets. Just to elaborate; all the payments are made on time, twice a month for three months plus principal will be returned after three months. This is the promise that will never change. We look forward to serving you for many years to come. If you have any other questions, kindly e-mail us by using the "Contact Us" form on our website.
Kind Regards,
Robert WB Client Support Team http://wilkensbrothers.com Invest With Confidence"
Note where he says, "Just to elaborate" and goes on to elaborate on their payments and principal being returned and so on. He's not really elaborating on the key question: can the stated ROI be really attained?
===========
Here is another anomalous or evasive answer:
Admin says that everything related to accounts is offline, for good reason (so accounts cannot be compromised I assume).
But here is a post related to withdrawals: Admin says "The earnings will be sent automatically into the e-currency account the investment was made from. In reality, you don't need to worry about pending withdrawals or delays of payments. The payment will automatically be sent into your e-currency account on the day it is due."
Now, am not just a reviewer, but I have been a programmer for many years. And when someone says that payment will be automatically sent to your e-currency account (which you used to make the spend) that to me says that .... something is indeed ONLINE as I do not know of any interface from a person's PC or MAC right to the pay processor without the use of a browser and access to records on the SERVER, meaning some info is indeed ONLINE.
Hey... am not saying he's lying. At least he's not telling the whole truth, from what he has posted. Or maybe he is not totally informed? My mind is open on that one.
============
AND NOW A COMMENT FROM OUR SPONSORS: "I believe in a God that does not need heavy financing." from a movie am watching, something about Fletcher. It's pretty funny.
And now back to our Reviewer: js of 9Planetreviews.com
============
Here is another evasive answer to the question of how long they have been around:
"we have members from all over the world and we have been online since 2008. If you go to our website and start reading what our project is all about, you will realize that WB is a serious investment company with realistic returns. Please send us an e-mail if you have any other questions. "
1. Since 2008? When in 2008????? It would have been easier to say since January of 2008, or March of 2008, or something! In fact, I found a second post with the same evasive answer: "Our company has been operating online since 2008. " Very very interesting.
Ah... here is an answer: "We have successfully been in business off-line since 2005. Please visit our website for more information. Thanks." So why not state that to the two previous requests on this?
2. Also notice him telling us to go to the website to find out what they are all about. Well, if you go to the website, you DO NOT find out what they are all about and how they do it. Not saying this is bad, it could be that they are being evasive because the website is visible to the public and other snoopers. Who knows?
So... let's keep going with the analysis.
===========
Another potential spender asks how they could get the private phone number if the max spend is $2,000 when VIPs need to have 50,000$ spent? The answer basically is that they need to spend multiple times until they get to $50,000 and then request the phone number.
Well duh! Who in their right minds is going to FIRST spend the fifty grand and THEN ask for the phone number? If I were to spend fifty grand there, I'd demand the phone number first, speak with the Admin and partners there... let them convince me, or not, then spend, or not.
Just in case I get challenged on this, here is Admin's response to that question:
"You may invest or re-invest multiple times to reach the VIP minimum, plus you will receive bonus payments for all your investments. It is totally up to you how many investment you wish to have, all transactions will be handled separately. All the deposits that you make will be recorded in our data base and once you have total of $50,000 deposited all together, you can request for our private phone number by sending us an e-mail. Thanks."
===========
Question: You list your address as in Salinas, CA, but there is no Wilkens Brothers Inc. registered with the California Secretary of State. In what jurisdiction is Wilkens Brothers Inc. registered?
Answer: Wilkens Brothers Inc. is an online division of a much larger "PRIVATE" off-line company. Our "PRIVATE" off-line company is under a different name and its name is kept confidential for security reasons. It can only be revealed to "VIP investors." However, we are located in Salinas, CA. Thanks.
===========
I also found out it is being operated out of California. This could mean trouble down the line. --- js
Response: "We totally understand your concerns about this issue. However, just to be safe and have peace of mind, we are now in the process of incorporating our investment company offshore. We will keep you apprised of the progress. Finally, we want to reassure all of you that Wilkens Brothers is here to stay. Thank you. "
===========
Oh and here is a likely cheerleader (that's someone who is paid to say good things about a programme in forums; am only insinuating, not stating so beat me with a carrot):
"I would like to thank Robert for being a truthful admin......I have always recieved my gift when it was time.....also Robert is so positive and gives the little guy hope for the future in that he has stated that he will be around for a long time, and I believe he will.......he is very professioal in that he always rsponds to questions in a timely matter too! dance9bh.gif Thank you WBI for offering me a chance to better myself through you....!!!!"
And then the same cheerleader (alleged) does it again on the next page:
"Thank you Robert for the payout........always on time!!..... cool.gif Thank you for providing us an opportunity to better ourselves....... bounce.gif ......I trully believe you guys are going to be around for the long term, and hope to get to the highest gift one day.....It sure has made a lot of difference in my familie's lives...... cool.gif blush.gif Thanks Again.... " It is so clear!
And then again!:
"Robert, Thank you again for a fast payout as promised.........was paid again, but to many times to remember blush.gif Thank you for this gift you have provided us with to help our families, and friends banana.gif I am here for the long haul....."
Will wonders never cease?
=========
Oh oh: "Further, to be a private club, according to U.S. law, you can't have over 100 members.
I wish Wilkens Brothers and investors the best of luck; I think they'll need it."
Answer: "Currently, our company is incorporated under the laws of Seychelles. There should not be any problems once the business is incorporated offshore. According to Seychelles laws, our company cannot conduct business in the country of incorporation. Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Robert"
js: Is this answer confusing to you as well? So they cannot conduct business in the Country of Incorporation? That makes no sense! Why else would Companies Incorporate there then?
=========
Alleged Cheerleader posts again: "Thank you, thank you Robert and staff.......just got paid again biggrin.gif ......payment was on time as you said.......Glad to be a part of this group banana.gif .......This is awesome, and going to be here for the long haul.........Just like it says.......Invest with the Best! cool.gif Thanks again as we continue to build a future together........... "
==========
Ok, there is more, but I think that is enough.
CONCLUSION: Based on my analysis (above) I would have to say, and do say it, that this is most likely a ponzi and that they don't invest anywhere. As well, it is well planned and executed so that it should last another few months (so this is a much better ponzi than most out there).
So you are likely safe in spending there for now (recall they hold your principal for 3 months and you need that time to get into profit). So play as you will.

PROGRAMME REVIEW: Wilkens and Brothers
This one gives you on average about 16% ROI per two weeks (they have three plans, the first starting at $50).
I've tested it myself.
There is a website but you can't check your balance from there.
To order a package go to this site: http://wilkensbrothers.com/investments_services.html and choose your plan and pay processor. The first plan is 16.9% every 15 days ROI. SolidTrust Pay, Strict Pay and LR are accepted (links are below of you don’t have these).
When you make the payment in the comments field state: STP micronuts or SP micronuts (if for Strictpay) or LR U9573379 if Liberty Reserve. That way they know where to send the commissons. Give the same instructions to others you may pass this on to.
Your spend will not only earn each two weeks or so, but at the end of 3 months you will also get the principal back, and that's fantastic. So basically you are getting around 33% ROI or more per month. Not bad at all!
In any case, I've tried to find some dirt on them and so far have not. They've been paying and folks are happy.
I've already spent $50 in STP and will be putting in another three or so payments in order to grow my STP account.
Attitude Update: You know folks? Am really getting tired of all of these opps that try to get you into matrices, forced or not, and even old concepts that failed frequently 2 years ago now. Am not going to name names. But I think you know what I mean.
Am also tired of spending a lot of time making just a few bucks here and there in various programmes. What a waste of time.
That's why am so glad that I have found at least three programmes now where I can use my own money to make more money and not have to bother recruiting anyone, answer to anyone, not step on anyone's toes, and so on. You oldies know what am talking about. You newbies will soon find out (or just read my blog).
Well, you need to know where am coming from. You see, am used to making hundreds and even thousands of dollars a month, or even in just a week or two. So playing in today's programmes is just really so boring and disappointing, and dangerous (risky).
So that's why you don't see too many exciting blog posts in my blog at this time (plus August is the slowest month of the year for opps).
Besides, am not into working full time trying to recruit a lot of folks to for newest MLM company that comes along, you know?
But am glad to report that am doing REALLY well in the first two passive opps that were revealed to me. I've more than doubled my money now there and will soon begin to withdraw at least $5K a month, and that's good enough for me. (I want to get to the $10K a month level, so may hold off withdrawing for bit, except to maybe buy a used/new/leased car.) And the third one? Am just testing it out right now with a few bucks.
Deep Cycler: Good news. It’s still cycling and a new referral contest was started on the 17th. Check it out.
August 18th (Monday)
All’s well. Just testing out Wilkens and Brothers right now. Unfortunately... there is no way to check your balance.
About 16% every two weeks and you get your balance back after 3 months. Sounds good, looks good, but very hard to contact them and get real answers, for now.
August 17th (Sunday)
Well, the aforementioned cycler is still alive. I can’t say much about it. It is still cycling.
16th (Saturday)
Deep Cycler has launched successfully and I’ve already cycled 12 positions.
I noticed that is faster to buy via Solid Trust Pay, as once you have done one transaction the next ones don’t require you to log in.
I’ve bought multiple positions in all lines to help cycle those out. At times it may slow down, it is a Saturday after all.
UPDATE at 1:48 PM EST: I’ve bought another 14 positions in the $1 line and 4 in the $2 line from earnings to help keep those moving. The fastest line right now seems to be the $1 line, so am going to focus on the $2 line with new earnings to get that one moving faster.
August 15th (Friday)
Those of you who are going to play in Deep Cycler please take note:
1. Set your clocks for 10 am EST if you wish to get in early and cycle early.
2. Once you cycle you will have 200% of your initial spend back, but half of that will go back in to cycle yet again. The other you can with as you wish.
3. After you pay at your favorite pay processor you MUST sign back in to Deep Cycler (if the pay processor does NOT take you back or if you wish to skip the countdown) so that Admin can approve your spends and enter them into the queue. If you forget to do this your spends will not cycle. This is a crucial point that should be remembered.
4. Spend only what you can afford to play with.
Finally note that am NOT willy-nilly recommending or promoting cyclers. I know that all cyclers fail, eventually (early or late), so there will be losers and there will be winners at this GAME.
Those of you who will play have this understanding. If you do not? Then DO NOT PLAY! I don't want to read one single complaint out of anyone about this.
Now go play. (Don't wait to sign up tomorrow, do it today, as in most cyclers time is of the essence.)
August 14th (Thursday)
P2P:Folks, am not in the business of taking programmes down (unless they are true scams). I don't know for sure whether P2P is a scam/ponzi or not. What you should be concerned about, if you're in there, is that the North Dakota Securities Department is concerned that P2P is a ponzi and will take action.
As well, P2P is offshore, hence they may be immune to the Authorities. I don't really know.
So read the info at the above link and make your move as appropriate for you.
You will see a lot of e-mails going around about this issue. That is why I am posting this here. Don’t freak out. Be calm, and make an informed decision.
PS: My concern is that trouble has already started brewing in at least one State of the USA. It may escalate (and it likely will). So protect your assets. (Am not in P2P but I look out for trouble on your behalf.)

js: And thanks for your kind note.
Prometheus Strategy Manifesto:
This is not my review. But I like it. So use your own discernment before you spend your bucks.
js
Here goes:
I just finished going through the Prometheus Strategy Manifesto, a short 36-page report.
First off, I want to say that one thing I get tired of seeing is no name, no credibility folks trying to give expert advice. Jim McCarthy, author of the Prometheus Strategy Manifesto, however, is entirely qualified to teach this.
He is a Certified Professional Consultant with over 25 years of working with Fortune 50 companies on implementing long term business strategies. He also holds 2 Masters degrees and 8 Professional certifications.
So he's not a beginner, by any means.
That's great news as it means the content is proven (not just theory). But one reason why the above is a bit of a "bad" thing is Jim steps into all this from a lot of corporate work... which means he's used to corporate-speak. So some parts of the manifesto read like a textbook and, at times, you have to force yourself through the dry-read because you KNOW that the lessons in it are worth it.
The best way to introduce and review this report for you is to take a snippet that the author, Jim McCarthy, used in his Forward.
"If you are looking at your business as simple a set of rotating opportunities, then you are setting yourself up for failure. You will fall prey time and again to great sales copy, wonderful looking products, seductive sales pitches, and terrific looking websites."
Too many people that I know are definitely treating their business as "a set of rotating opportunities". THEY should really bite into this manifesto.
One of the primary lessons in this report is to understand the difference between a continually growing and increasingly more profitable LONG TERM BUSINESS versus just yet another way to "make money" online.
The report talks about the difference in what most people focus on (tactics) versus what only the top performer "gurus" have spent considerable time on (strategy).
Tactics can be easily copied. These are your "to do" action steps ... much of which can be spied on by your competition.
What your competitors can never see and really understand is your true long term vision: What you are working towards.
And maybe that's why this is such an important read!
Unlike the numerous reports that get sent my way, this one doesn't talk of a latest new idea that will generate X traffic or Y dollars. Those types of reports focus on yet another new tactic.
It's very rare to find THIS kind of education in the "internet marketing" marketspace. And if you're smart (which I KNOW you are), then you'll immediately realize that being among the few who studies this, you'll have a definite advantage in mindset over your competition.
I don't want to give it all away and, it's a short 36-page read so there's no point in me writing a long winded review. So I'll put it plainly: if you care about a stable, long term income then READ IT. It doesn't cost you a dime and won't take up much of your time.
When you read the manifesto, spend extra time with the "Down Board Thinking" that Jim references on page 22. I can promise you that the masses simply react to a current idea/situation and never spend time with "Down Board Thinking", though they really should.
Overall, this Strategy Manifesto was a great find. I encourage you to not just download it (as that won't get you anywhere) but to set aside the 20-60 minutes and actually review it.
Again, this is js: Use your own discernment on this one. It sounds very interesting to me. More interesting than most of the crap going around. At least.
August 13th (Wednesday)
May I remind you that bux.to is a scam? Ok, I do.
Today I ordered a HYROS with beef from my favorite Greek Restaurant, here in Owen Sound.
Unfortunately the guy was running around trying to serve customers and yelling at his wife. He was quite angry I could see, as he even raised his voice with customers to see what they wanted to order.
Now I disapprove of that. Why? Because their angry manner imparts angry vibrations or frequencies or energies to the food that he cooks. And that's not good for us. A cook should be Happy, not angry.
That's why I also dislike those reality shows where the head cook goes nuts with anger over what is being cooked or not cooked.
But of course all this is a dream. Yet within the dream, it tends to affect us, the dream characters. You know?
Now am not spewing New Age philosophy here. This is a fact. Just because Scientists can't measure it does not mean that the phenomena does not exist. It does exist indeed. Anyone sensitive to more subtle energies and aspects and "higher" vehicles will confirm this for you.
So.... Don't eat food prepared by angry men and women!

The most pronounced symptoms are diarrhea, abdominal pain, cancer, and mind control. Check with your doctor if Detrol LA is right for you.

FASTING:
Ok, if you are going to fast in order to cleanse your body or to help remove some illness of tissue or other?
1. Fast for 7 days or more. 2. Drink only some water with some lemon (fresh squeezed). 3. Take no other nutrients.
The above allows the body to go into autolysis by the fifth day. Meaning that the body will start to consume the weakest cells.
You can quit the fast by the 8th day or so. But I recommend you prolong it.
Now, how to end that fast?
Consider that you have not been defecating in the last 7 days. You need to get rid of that waste. How? Either get a colonic done or eat something like coleslaw to get the bowels moving and get rid of all that kaka.
DO NOT eat fruit at the end of the fast. It may kill you.
By the way, juice fasting is NOT fasting. But it will lead to some good. So you can do that as well.
Hypoglycemics and Diabetics? Do NOT do a fast. Too dangerous.
August 11th (Monday)
DEEPCYCLER: I would like you to know that I was not being cynical below (yesterday’s post).
I was not slamming DEEPCYCLER nor the folks who run it. I was simply waxing poetic. That phrase came from a song.
I know the Admin. He’s very honest and has had a good history. He also has some MODs on board who are well known out there. So this one should have a very good run. Provided, of course, we all (all players) support the programme and not just run with the money too quickly.
So my money is on this one. Play if you wish, and do not bet the farm, as they say.
PS: If you are a fan of Blondie’s (blog) then please join with her. There is no advantage to joining me instead. OK? The same goes for Jim's Blog (Kingtrading), Meltcat's Blog, Greg's Blog, and Will's Blog.

August 10th (Sunday)
Ok, am going to suggest something radical. To some of you. Others have been doing this for a long time and earning far more than you. The suggestion? Sign yourself up multiple times with DRW and e-tradeXchange, even using the same paypal or Alertpay account. And IP address.
From the point of view of the Admin? What difference does it make if you sign up ten folks versus you signing up yourself ten times under yourself? NONE!
Not that am doing it. But it can be done, and is being done, and the Admin is turning a blind eye to this as it keeps the programme going. OK? ok.
CYCLER REVIEW: deepcycler.com
Cyclers die and that's a fact. But everything that dies someday comes back.
Play at your own risk. This should be a very good one to play in.
This is a prelaunch, so you won’t be able to order until they launch. When? August 16th 10 AM EST (Saturday I guess). Looks like a very nice script that I have not seen before (in five years). I hope it lasts some time! Well, am going to risk some money in this one.
August 9th (Saturday)
Hey do you remember SFIpay’s e-tradexchange programme back in 2005? It worked well for a while, then slowed down and shut down.
Well guess what? Recently they have come back. Not only have they launched DrivenRapidWealth (see below) but also e-tradexchange.com! And this one gives you 300% on your buck for the old Adpacks transferred and 175% on new ones purchased.
Well, the reason am excited is that in reading Blondie’s blog today I found out from her that I can simply log in via my old username and password and discover that if I had a balance back in 2005 it will have been transferred over in the form of Adpacks into the new programme!
So I used the password recovery link, signed in, and found 3 Adpacks Active! Wow! Am I pleased or what?
You will notice that it is pretty well identical (same script) to DRW. Have a look! Either sign up fresh if you were never in the original programme or sign in with your old username and password, you may get a surprise. Click on the banner below.
August 8th (Friday or Fria’s day, right? Who the heck is Fria? Look it up.)
Ok, I have been silently making good money with the above while my blogger friends have been posting about it for quite a while now and I feel remiss at not updating you on it.
Am saying this not because I want to sign you up but because I think you should not miss out on this one (just like you should not miss out on 10DollarsWonder).
I myself use my own money to make more money (200% ROI), but two other bloggers talk about making money for free by using their AlertPay accounts, advertising those, getting commissions, and buying adpacks with that. But you know? That's a waste of time. The kind of money they are making is piddling vs. the time they put in.
So trust me, use your own money to buy the adpacks, then click on Adpacks and register your banners, text ads, and hits to your website/page/opp/referral link. You get one for each adpack and it lasts for the duration of the adpack (once it reaches 200%).
So.... to summarize: no surfing, just buy an Adpack, it matures at 200%, and you get all that advertising to boot.
Don't wait.
One of the folks that I signed up (happens to be a reader of mine) has made three times that I have in this one! Wow! I will not publish who this one is, but the hair is not dark. OK? I was warned not to identify this one.... but here is the e-mail: haha@haha.com. Just kidding. Am just playing with him or her. I was warned (funny) to keep it tight. Although, not sure why. Well, it’s.... blondie!
Ok, in the below? Am not making the links active, so you will have to COPY and PASTE to your browser. Sorry, but am just too lazy on a Friday. js

August 7th (Thursday)
In line with what I said yesterday and the day before, about this dream I offer you this excerpt from A Course in Miracles, it is about “The Hero of the Dream”:
“T-27.VIII.1.The body is the central figure in the dreaming of the world. 2 There is no dream without it, nor does it exist without the dream in which it acts as if it were a person to be seen and be believed. 3 It takes the central place in every dream, which tells the story of how it was made by other bodies, born into the world outside the body, lives a little while and dies, to be united in the dust with other bodies dying like itself. 4 In the brief time allotted it to live, it seeks for other bodies as its friends and enemies. 5 Its safety is its main concern. 6 Its comfort is its guiding rule. 7 It tries to look for pleasure, and avoid the things that would be hurtful. 8 Above all, it tries to teach itself its pains and joys are different and can be told apart.
T-27.VIII.2.The dreaming of the world takes many forms, because the body seeks in many ways to prove it is autonomous and real. 2 It puts things on itself that it has bought with little metal discs or paper strips the world proclaims as valuable and real. 3 It works to get them, doing senseless things, and tosses them away for senseless things it does not need and does not even want. 4 It hires other bodies, that they may protect it and collect more senseless things that it can call its own. p585 5 It looks about for special bodies that can share its dream. 6 Sometimes it dreams it is a conqueror of bodies weaker than itself. 7 But in some phases of the dream, it is the slave of bodies that would hurt and torture it.
T-27.VIII.3.The body's serial adventures, from the time of birth to dying are the theme of every dream the world has ever had. 2 The "hero" of this dream will never change, nor will its purpose. 3 Though the dream itself takes many forms, and seems to show a great variety of places and events wherein its "hero" finds itself, the dream has but one purpose, taught in many ways. 4 This single lesson does it try to teach again, and still again, and yet once more; that it is cause and not effect. 5 And you are its effect, and cannot be its cause.
T-27.VIII.4.Thus are you not the dreamer, but the dream. 2 And so you wander idly in and out of places and events that it contrives. 3 That this is all the body does is true, for it is but a figure in a dream. 4 But who reacts to figures in a dream unless he sees them as if they were real? 5 The instant that he sees them as they are they have no more effects on him, because he understands he gave them their effects by causing them and making them seem real.
T-27.VIII.5.How willing are you to escape effects of all the dreams the world has ever had? 2 Is it your wish to let no dream appear to be the cause of what it is you do? 3 Then let us merely look upon the dream's beginning, for the part you see is but the second part, whose cause lies in the first. 4 No one asleep and dreaming in the world remembers his attack upon himself. 5 No one believes there really was a time when he knew nothing of a body, and could never have conceived this world as real. 6 He would have seen at once that these ideas are one illusion, too ridiculous for anything but to be laughed away. 7 How serious they now appear to be! 8 And no one can remember when they would have met with laughter and with disbelief. 9 We can remember this, if we but look directly at their cause. 10 And we will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for fear.”
I’ve been away from the computer for most of the day because of a storm that I claim that blondie sent this way. But apparently she did not. In any case, it was raining and thundering on an off for quite a while.
I took the day off yesterday as well, so I have not gotten to my e-mails as yet. But will some time today.
TAGGED.COM: AVOID like the PLAGUE!
If you get an invite to be a friend of someone at tagged (tagged.com)... DO NOT! It is a phishing site.
I was sent a greeting that looked like from a friend (indeed it was, and my friend was duped). It asked if he was a friend or not (did not ask to join). So I clicked on yes. That took me to a Registration panel or screen. Then something stopped me. I went to my browser, pulled up google and entered this query: what is tagged (as I noticed that the Company’s name was Tagged). So here is what I found:
Here is an entry on it at wikepedia.com (look it up if you wish):
"Tagged.com is a phishing website that masquerades as social networking website. It was co-founded by Greg Tseng and Johann Schleier-Smith and launched in October 2004 by Tagged Inc. and is privately owned. The site allows its users to send messages, leave comments, post bulletins, customize status, browse photos, watch videos, play games, give tags, chat and make friends. Early innovations include the use of slides and Youtube as a part of the site’s graphical interface. As of July 2008, the site claims to have 70,000,000 registered users.[1]"
Criticism
Tagged has been criticized[2][3] for its policy toward its users' email address books. These policies have been described as spamming at best, and as phishing attacks at worst. During the sign-up process the user has to provide the password of his or her email account. After that follow several pages of commercial offers and contracts, and the user is asked to provide home address, cell phone number, and mother's maiden name. The user who bails on the process halfway through is automatically signed up for telephone voicemail service and billed for services on their monthly local bill.[4]
The site also sends emails with HTML code that reads personal information from the recipient's computer when opened. The encoded pixel tags are tiny graphic files which collect data on the user by reading cookies on the user's computer for the purposes of creating a database of personal information which can be sold to third parties.[2]”

I thought I should publish this for those of you who are wondering. Am I addled, or what? Maybe I have discovered something.
Well, depending on your temperament, you can go with any of the above.

I wonder if this is what you think of the world or you read it from somewhere.I'd like to read more about it.Could you send me more info about it?
Thanks, R."
Yes, not an original thought from me. But it took me many years of study to come to it:
- Advaita Vedanta (Know Thyself) - Zen Buddhism - The Tao Te Ching - Buddhism (touches on it) - Ramana Maharshi (search it) - Sri Adi Da (Da Love Ananda) ( http://www.adidam.org ) - A Course in Miracles ( http://acim.org , but plus, also the books on the right side that deal with ACIM by Gary Renard, get those first! Will save you 10 to 20 years in study of ACIM).
All agree on this. Hence I have no choice to but conclude what you quoted above. This is in fact a dream! Witness The Matrix movies, and others. You yourself are trying to tell yourself what's going on here! So look for the clues. Look for the lessons. You will soon be convinced. Maybe use a notebook?
Ponder that.
You may have a Revelation as a result. Or a Holy Moment. Or a Satori, or some Samadhi. You name it.

August 5th (Tuesday)
I guess I forgot my forgiveness lessons entirely when I posted below about ASDCashDegenerator. Those guys were just having their own fun here in this dream world. Cheating folks out of dream money. And many of us either forget that this world is really a dream world (meaning an apparent world appearing in the dream of the Dreamer) or we don't believe it is a dream world, so that whatever appears to happen here we take so seriously that the dream actually becomes real for us.
But no dream can ever become real. So as we forget this, or don't understand this, we are unable to forgive what appears to happen here. In fact we become victims or victimizers, we get angry, we lash out, we attack our brother. But if you really knew that you were just dreaming this world, you'd know that there is no one to angry at, no victim and no victimizers. Because what is illusory cannot be real. And what is eternal cannot change.
Well enough of that for now. Just learn to use everything that appears to happen to you as a lesson to forgive. Better yet, if you learn that this is indeed a dream, then forgiveness is not necessary, as there is no one nor anything here to forgive.
From Rick: Richard Daigle: say a prayer for us...a hurricane is making a direct path for us tonight! Judy {blondi}: am about to post about it in my blog. will send as many prayers as we can.... any chance you could put a request for prayers for the Texas Families in your BLOG, John ??? js: I should have posted this yesterday but I had taken the day off hence was unaware of it.
Well, I hope it did not hit them (does not to appear to have as yet, right now being labeled as a Tropical Storm). Now such things may seem to be harder to forgive than the apparently smaller transgressions. But remember, there really are no levels and love and forgiveness is maximal, always. --- some of this may be difficult to fathom, unless you are studying A Course in Miracles (some say this is the Christian Advaita Vedanta, or non-dualistic Teaching).
PROGRAMME REVIEW: SafeAtom.com, an HYIP or a scam or both?See my blogpost blog on that one. You can leave comments there (eg. if someone can find the Istvan Kovacs physicist mentioned on the site? Leave a comment and I will investigate further). As is this one is a ponzi.

From: Ken Russo Date: August 3, 2008 9:47:42 AM EDT (CA) To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: More About ASD
Hello Again Everyone,
Well, my last message (ASD SHUT DOWN - The Party Is Over) seems to have aroused some anger. For example, this message which I received yesterday...
Ken, Really surprised at the email you sent out on ASD. Shame on you Ken so many people believe in this program and it has changed their life's. I'm not the only one that feels this way about your negative email Ken. Put yourself in our place Ken and quit thinking about your own pocketbook and using this to build your business. Your credibility just got damaged BIG TIME! People can't believe you had the nerve to send this email. Why cant you give everyone the respect they deserve.
I do not understand why this person would be surprised. This is major news in the industry and I am making sure sure that everyone is aware of the situation. The program has been surrounded by controversy since the day it launched. Those who join a controversial program must be prepared for the worst. Sherry and others like her need a "reality check". I could have sent a message like this....
----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Again Everyone,
The ASD program has been shut down. However, there is no need for concern. I believe they will address the concerns of the authorities and that they will return to business soon.
Ken -----------------------------------------------------------------------
After all, this is essentially what many members are saying and I hope they are right. The problem is, I do not believe it for a minute.
I don't like to see any program get shut down, especially a program like ASD which has been of immense benefit to many people. If it is proven that the program is nothing more than a glorified ponzi scheme, there will many more people, myself included, who will have lost money in the program.
The big concern with ASD has been with regard to outside sources of revenue. If, in fact, there are no additional sources of revenue we can only conclude that the program is a ponzi.
One person makes a very valid point with this statement..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I keep hearing about all these other avenues of income ASD is supposed to have. Well, why doesn't good ole Uncle Andy tell what they are instead of alluding to them? He can't because they don't exist. I am not saying he is not trying to find some, but the point is they have never been there from day one as claimed. So, you want proof? Then I want you to give proof these revenue streams exist. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many folks are sending the following message in an attempt to calm everyone...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone - everything at ASD is fine so don't panic or anything my sponser just emailed me back and he had me listen to a conference call about the situation and it sounded good, and everything should be back to normal by the middle of next week, and what had happened was a couple of members probably newbies filed a complaint because the site has been down to long for the huge server change and i guess they thought we been scammed and my sponser talked to someone at the corporate office and told him it's nothing just keep smiling so everyone stay smiling because everything is fine take care. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While I can appreciate their effort to keep everyone calm, we ALL need to be more realistic. Everything is NOT fine at ASD! The program is not shut down because one or two people filed a complaint this week or last week. It simply does not work that way. A more realistic assessment might indicate that complaints were filed some time ago which triggered an investigation which has led to the current situation.
Here's a copy of a forum post...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can tell you from experience,once the AG comes in things go from bad to worst... ASD needs to show how they can pay for all their members including profits and they will need to show all of their income streams. Unfortunately the US government will now call all the shots and they will go over everything with a fine comb and most likely will say that ASD was selling securities without a license. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No one was selling "securities" but Andy and company will have to prove that they are not an illegal ponzi scheme. If he fails to do so there is no way this program will recover. If, on the other hand, they can demonstrate that they have a viable business model, all will be well.
For more information about ASD see this site....
http://www.squidoo.com/AdCashGeneratorASD
I'm not saying that I agree with the comments at the site. I am just making you aware of it. As a list manager it is my responsibility to forward any and all pertinent information that I am aware of. I have watching the site at squidoo.com for a few weeks now but I chose not to forward it until now. I truly do not have the time nor the desire to thoroughly investigate the ASD program. I entered the program shortly after it launched. My ID is 880. However, I did not upgrade my account until much later. I watched the program grow month after month and when it reached about 50,000 in early June I did upgrade and I made a decision to endorse the program. Here is a part of the message I sent at that time...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At this point in the evolution of the ASD program, one should not ignore what is taking place. The program founder, Andy Bowdoin, and his team have created a monster and I now believe that the program should be looked at very closely by anyone who wishes to diversify. Recent developments have led to my decision to upgrade my position in ASD and to begin to promote the program. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During June and July the member base quickly doubled. This is incredible growth and the program was creating more excitement with each passing day. Now we are at the point where all we can do is wait and see what develops. I did not fund the program heavily, I have not withdrawn a dime and I am fully prepared to accept any loss as a result of joining the program. I never indicated that ASD was a "must join" program. Not even close! I suggested that those who wish to "diversify" might want to a take a close look.
Here is the latest news from someone whom, I assume, is close to the company...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems that several members were complaining about the site being down for 20 days and thought that they were being scammed and it prompted an investigation, which is standard procedure.
ASD's attorneys are working with the state attorneys to resolve this issue ASAP. In fact, several officials are coming from the AGs office in DC on Monday to investigate.
The SEC is not involved. ASD is compliant and paying taxes and they have nothing to hide.
ASD has not been shut down. This is standard procedure for a complaint.
ASD is expected to be back to business as usual by Thursday at the latest. This has happened before and the US Attorney just needs to follow through on the complaint. It's all standard procedure for the attorneys.
ASD is probably the fastest growing opportunity on the net right now and we are getting a lot of attention from everywhere and along with that we get attacked.
ASD is still doing the data entry and moving forward. We are going into the weekend and so there will be only so much they can update us with until Monday.
Here's an update call recorded Friday afternoon (8/1/08) from some Members on the inside track:
http://www.byoaudio.com/play/WcthC414
More news updates and calls will be posted on this site...
http://www.asdforyou.com
Please continue to be patient and thank you for your commitment to ASD -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those who are offended because I tell it like it is with regard to questionable programs should request to be removed from my contact list. Those who choose to remain on my list are reminded that I will always tell it is and I will present pertinent information, good or bad, about any major program as soon as I am aware of it.
Sherry also took offense to the fact that I mentioned MrsVIP in my message about ASD. Here is my response to her....
Sherry,
I wish you well as you search for the best programs and I will leave you with the following advice. MrsVIP is the very best program currently available and I will continue with my main mission which is to share the program with as many people as possible. If you are not a member you need to find a sponsor get yourself informed. A few months from now you just may be contacting me again to thank me for offering this advice.
Ken
Looks like my negative posts about ASDCashDeGenerator kept some few folks from losing their money, and for that am grateful, even though I lost myself in there.

Js, i would just like to thank you for the heads up on ASD. About 2 weeks ago someone and came did a presentation at my church for ASD and many people were excited. Some signed up and some were thinking about signing up, including me. but i guess procrastination was good to me this time, because after reading your blog and the link also, i called some church members and told them what you had shared. We are all grateful that we received your update in time. Hats off to you my freind!! Greg

ASDCashGenerator: Now, you will have to pardon my French, because I am going to swear a lot.
I joined this outfit in Nov. of 2007. Had problems since then. Just recently managed to get my AlertPay funds credited (since July 10th) thanks to the help of Aaron and repeated emails and tickets.
Now the damn stinking outfit is shut down! Am under by over a grand.
“Upon direction from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of Columbia, ASD will not be able to move funds into company accounts, or out of them. We will work to resolve this problem, and return to normal operation, as soon as we are permitted to do so.
ASD Management.”
I KNEW they would never make it, yet I kept being pounded by some readers of my blog to re-join. So I did, against my gut feel! Dang! Well, the only one I can blame is myself. I should have stayed out.
I still have not cycled. So do please stay out of doublebydouble.com.
July 30th (Wednesday)
doublebydouble.com: Ok, I have NOT cycled in the appointed time. What does this mean? It means they are NOT gettig enough folks coming in! So... STAY OUT of it. And get 0ut if you can. I was hoping that that this one would last more than a day.. but ha! I guess I was wrong!
OK it is WAY past my cycle time.. and I have not cycled. This one is toast, over, done, gone, bye bye. Told you! Only risk what you can risk. Oh well. Maybe I and you will cycle in the next couple of days, but for new folks? STAY OUT.
doublebydouble.com: So far so good. Am due to cycle in just under an hour in the below cycler. Just trying it for fun, and maybe some profit. Do check out their downloadable products, there may be something good in there. I just downloaded the scripts. The rest of it looks like crap. Oops.. I meant.... stuff you can get for free everywhere.
Now listen: their server is in California, so that’s Pacific Time. Google world clock california or just california time zone to find out what time it is there so you can judge rightly when you should be cycling. I almost made that mistake myself, thinking I was supposed to cycle at just over thirteen hundred. OK?
UPDATES:
Just got great news from the first private opp that I talked about a while back and joined with over ten grand. My balance now exceeds 20 grand. And today they have updated members on further ventures. Man it is going great! Am going to make a small withdrawal in August to buy a used car. And keep the rest going. No need to work any longer! (Well, I haven’t for the last 3 or so years.)
Too bad though, a couple of months back they closed to new membership. Stay tuned. I hope they open up again so more of you can partake. Those of you who did? Congratulations!
Now, re the second one I talked about, which is still open. They issued a nice update as well, which I can't share with you (a while back, not recently). But they are doing great as well. My balance there is nearly ten grand. Oops, just checked, wow.... 95 bucks short of fifteen grand! Woooohooooo! Don't worry, I only put in about 7 grand. The rest is via accumulated interest via compounding.
Sure feels good to finally find two opps that work, that have not scammed me, and have delivered. Wow... took me five years of being online to find this one, and quite by accident!
There is a third one of this type that am trying to get more info on right now. Stay tuned. I want to be sure.

Now, I don’t usually “toot my horn”, meaning I don’t usually publish any praises about myself or my blog (the ones at 1WorldDoubler? They were all true and the other two guys who were the owners insisted on it. I simply insisted on the testimonies to be true!) but I just received an e-mail that made me feel really good, especially after all the work done investigating OceanSideWealth and getting banned by Jake at the ASA Forum:
“Hey thanks G. Most of it is via intuition, having investigated such things for years now (and even offline MLMs).
And I do have some friends out there too.
Thanks for your kind words!

Hey, even if I get banned at a place or two? I just can't hold my tongue when I see things that are just not right, at least in my eyes.

CYCLER REVIEW: doublebydouble.com
This is a doubler that offers some products. They make the claim that other cyclers slow down and fail because those cyclers did not and do not offer any products, but that this one offers such attractive products that folks will come in droves just for the products/packages.
That is so far from the truth. So if you're going to play, get in right now, double a couple of times and get out.
The real truth is that those folks that like to play in cyclers don't give a damn about any stupid products, no matter how attractive they are hyped out to be. Most players are there to... play! To have their money cycled/doubled.
So there WILL be a slow-down, folks will not come back after taking profit and this one will cycle into a nose-dive.
Finally it looks like they have already launched. During the SLOWEST month of the year for such things! Brilliant move.
According to DNS records they may have launched some time in late July. So that's recent. Records were created on the 21st of July. They have the Domain registered for one year. I doubt they will last the month of August.
Since they accept e-gold and I have some, am going to try $49.
They are using one of the second generation cycler scripts. No bugs that I know of.
Looks like a one day doubling time, so they must have just launched. And my ORDER ID is 6, so there are only 10 signed up right now and 6 orders. Pretty good chance I will cycle several times and get out with some profit.
Sorry, did not feel like “working” yesterday so took the day off.
Bad news for the OceanSideWealth opp. Looks like they launched already! It’s such a mess. Below is an e-mail I received from my upline who WILL NOT be joining and for good reason. As you can see from my own posts below, I seriously started to question the programme in the ASA forum and finally got banned by Jake. Hence I will not be joining either and suggest you do not either. It’s not worth it on the front end and I seriously question the viability of their robot trading programme.
So here’s the note from my upline:
“Subject: Oceanside Wealth - Unbelievable But True
Hello Everyone,
Believe it or not, while most of us were sleeping the following message was posted in the ASA forum by JD who heads the Oceanside Wealth admin team....
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Everybody, WE ARE LIVE AND EVERYONE CAN SIGN UP!!
First off I really want to apologize for not giving the proper notice about what I am about to tell you. We have been up all weekend long and I have maybe had 1 hour of sleep per day. All day long today we have been taking peoples advice and running stress tests on our server. During a final stress test, our programmer put a sign up link live and a bunch of people got in. As of right now we have maybe 20 people who have signed up but our server guys are insisting we keep the server up so that they can continue to run diagnostic tests throughout the night. We have no control right now that people are signing up so we want to give an official notice that everyone can sign up. We didn't want to launch right now but in order to get our servers ready we have to allow people to sign up right now. Our server techs are in Australia so they are working on it right now during the day.
So while this is not the exact way we wanted to launch, we at least wanted to give everyone the notice that you can now log in and join Oceanside. There are only like 20 people who have gotten in, and there are all kinds of script errors going on right now so it is very slow going, but they have urged us to proceed so that they can get a handle on these errors and fix them once and for all. Please don't worry, you have not been buried behind a bunch of people, as the going is very very slow right now. We realize there will be unhappy people because we haven't given an official notice, but we have to do this in order to get all the bugs worked out.
As I stated in the forum... Words cannot described what has transpired tonight. This is the most unprofessional act by a program administration that I have ever seen. There is no way I can continue to support this program.
I am in complete agreement with this member's comments....
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Seems to me this is a REAL launch..I have received half a dozen offers already to join..A secret launch ...What the heck is this all about? I absolutely REFUSE to get cought up in this...This is just WRONG and I don't think it is going to be very well received by the public who were left out in the cold.
This is quickly turning into a complete JOKE. I could have signed up already because believe me If you have a team email chances are i am already on your list so I knew about this the moment it happened...But I REFUSE to sign up!!! NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
WOW a secret Launch..I am just shakeing my head trying to figure out how Oceanside figured this was the way to go..This just absolutely smacks of preferential treatment and back office deal cutting..For lack of a better word the whole thing just seems DIRTY. I guess i don't recall Vlane haveing a SECRET launch for the privilaged few.
When Oceanside first came on the scene it really appeared to me that this would be a great oportunity for alot of people..but looks like greed and back office politics got in the way of that. I just can't endorse a program that does not provide a level playing field for ALL. I have my principles and I have my business ethics and they are not for sale even for a top level matrix position.
Full steam ahead with Vlane..The most ethical program on the net. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
How anyone with an ounce of ethics or professionalism can continue to support this program is beyond me. As far as I am concerned, Oceanside Wealth is history! There are much better projects to focus on.”

NEW PRIVATE PROGRAMME: Well, by Aug. 3rd, 9PM EST I will know much more about OceanSideWealth so that I can tell you which way to go. Frankly, I have another one up my sleeve that pays better, is totally private, pays you every 15 days, plus a bonus on your deposit within 24 hours and so on. So watch for that in the next few days in this blog!
Jake at the ASA forum (he’s the owner) is sick and tired of me just because I posted ONE little post that challenged his integrity. I basically asked him about signups before the launch of this newest venture (below). I KNOW for a fact that several folks were signed up ahead of time. I did not say that in the post, but insinuated it. Haha! But instead of deleting my post and banning me he told the audience that he was sick and tired of MICRONUTS (that’s me), as I have raised several questions he is unable to answer.
Like: OceanSideWealth.biz: hosted on a server that hosts almost another 9 million websites! Woah! Why? And how? For a $6 Million licensing fee for the software they go and splurge big on a website hosting service that hosts 9 million other sites? Wow. Mind-boggling.
And: OceanSideWealth.com: hosted on a dedicated server... so why? Hmm... dedicated to that one site, while the main site shares space and bandwidth with almost 9 million other sites? And why did it go down? And so on.
Jake! Am sorry for all the questions! Truly I am! Others have raised them as well. But am a good one to get banned for a few days. Cooling off period I guess. Oh well. So be it. Hey! Have a nice week!

ALERT 230 - OceanSideWealth Update by JS of 9Planetreviews
The official time/date for OSW's new launch is formally set for Sunday 08-03-08 at 6pm Pacific/8pm Central/9pm Eastern). This has already been reported in some of the forums, but was actually just made official a little while ago.
There is an incredible story as to what happened last night, but suffice it to say some "leaders" did things they shouldn't have, and acted not as "leaders," and caused the majority of the issues last night. I won't name names, but we have them to thank for this mess. [js: am not sure about that. I think that some folks took advantage of the popular usernames like krusso and micronuts to grab much of the lists out there]
Don't worry, they will not be permitted into the back office prior to the next launch date.
These issues will be not be able to occur on the new launch date from a technical standpoint either.
In fact, this delay has worked to our advantage in the long run, because now the "leaders" are not going to be able to access their back offices before everyone else, which means we all start on a level playing field within a community (company-wide) forced matrix.
Folks, in case you are not familiar with how forced matrices work, that means that EVERYONE who joins that first day, will benefit from the efforts of some of the most successful Internet marketers in the business. Trust me, you do want to join this one, and you do want to join on the first day. It can literally mean thousands of dollars per month in revenue, starting next month.
One of the changes they introduced recently was that they are now going to pay our 100% for the first month rather than placing 80% into your trading account automatically, as they will in subsequent months.
So, get those splash pages out there, and start building a list of people to send your link to next week when this launches. Or get the link placed in your favorite traffic exchanges.
I will keep you updated.
Take care, and God bless.
Holy bananas! My account at the ASA Monitor Forum has just been suspended by Jake of ASA! Here is the error message am receiving:
Your account has been temporarily suspended. This suspension is due to end on Jul 29 2008, 11:08 PM.
And all that was due to the questions that I have been posting around OceanSideWealth!
Wow.
Dang.
He did not like it as it is his pet Project! So much for a non-biased Reviewer eh ? A guy that reviews and is not influenced by others? That does not seem to be Jake! OceanSideWealth seems to be his pet Project! And it could be a good one, no doubt, but what I have uncovered, and the questions that I have asked in his FORUM... leads me to believe that he is VERY involved, that he HAS signed up other leaders before launch (despite his claims of no preference in the public forums) and ... well, that is enough!
So I published such details and have found that my account, tonight, at ASA, is suspended! Just after my posts!
Haha!
js
PS: Not to worry, I did not name any names. Besides, I don’t really know who in fact was signed up before launch, but one other person posted about that in the ASA Forum. Well, see you in August! I still think this will be a good one to join and see what happens.

July 23rd (Wednesday)
OceanSideWealth: More info for you. READ THIS if you are going to join this Saturday at 10 AM EST or later.
Ken: When the program does launch I believe it will be a very unique due to the community matrix which I expect will fill to the 11th level within hours, assuming their server and programing can accommodate such a huge volume.
js: You must join the matrix in order to participate in the passive investment. That's $60 a month. Those of you who join the matrix a day or two into the programme will unlikely be able to cover the $60 a month with commissions earned from your matrix (because once the company 2x10 fills you will get your own 2x10 with no overspill from the Company, but with overspill from leadership above you if that leadership has you in their 2x10). So that means that if you will have to invest something like $600 or more in order to pay the monthly $60 fee as I (js) fully expect them to give you 10% per month on average, not the 20% to 30% that is being claimed.
Below is some further info from my upline:
Oceanside Wealth builder summary
What we know so far about the company and their proposed business:(Accuracy checked by J.D. Admin., thank you Sir.)
1. They use an institutional grade Forex trading program (js: this means a robot software programme). Along with the many years of experience of their trader to bring you returns on your investment.
2. They will be posting monthly performance graphs along with doing live webinars so we can see the results.
3. They will also have a built in front-end matrix with a $60 per month membership fee.
4. You will then be able to add any amount in $100 increments on top of that to go into the program (js: ForEx trading)... There will be no maximum amount.
5. The corporate headquarters will be posted on the web site. No phone number.
6. There is never a promised set return per month, the hoped for average is 20%. The worst month was 3% and that was in April 2008.
7. They are a new Company. There are performance graphs from the software program that they are using for OW. This program has been around for 2 years (js: apparently $6 Million to license, see info below.)
What we know about the Trading program:
1. The software program that they use is 100% automated- meaning that they can set it and allow it to run on its own. It looks at 80-90 different signals before it makes a single trade and reacts to real life current events.
2. They have been using it and watching it live now for around 15 months and the WORST month was 3% in April of this year. The average has been right around 20% per month and the best month around 45%.
3. They have stop losses in place. These are set at 10% meaning that they will never be trading with more than 10% of the account. This makes it Impossible to lose more than 10% of the account at a time.
What we know about the people:
1. Jake from ASA has been in contact with this company for around 6 months. He has endorsed it as a good investment, which for many is enough to make it a buy.
2. The Company Admin in charge is J.D. The forum moderators and question answer people are leverageFx and xx
3. There is a Forex experienced Trader that we don’t know the name of yet.
What we know about the launch:
1. Saturday July 26, 2008 will be the day the company will open to signups for matrix spots. 10 AM EST.
2. There is substantial buzz surrounding the launch and matrix. Experienced investors are also focused on the forex trading returns.
What we know about the Matrix:
1. It is going to be a community force filled matrix for the first ELEVEN (11) levels (OS is the top level, hence 11 total for the 2x10). After the 11th level is complete, it will turn into a regular forced matrix (js: meaning you have to fill it, with the help, if any, of leadership above you, within 10 levels).
2. Everyone must join the matrix before they can invest.
3. You can personally sign up a spouse, family member and anyone else from your computer.
4. No multiple spots in the matrix.
5. Your matrix fees can be paid with your interest earnings
6. The Company will be giving away Cadillac Escalade Hybrids and house bonuses. The matrix is designed so that it pays out 65% back to the members and the other 35% is used to pay for the Escalades!
What we know about the payment processors:
1. Payment processors will include: Solid Trust Pay, U got Cash, Strict Pay, and Alertpay. alert pay will be used for the 1st month only
2. Everyone has to have their own payment processor account in order to sign up at launch.
3. There will be an option for you to send funds from OW member to OW member in your back office.
4. Multiple accounts are not allowed, however signups from the same IP address is ok.
5. The interest will be available for withdrawal on a monthly basis.
6. We can join with one payment processor but have our earnings deposited to another.
js: Now, I posted some comments in the ASA forum about the sixty monthly fee and then go sidetracked into talking about ForEx. One person responded with a very intelligent explanation and I post it here (hope he does not mind):
"I have not been in a position to view the trading system and I have no way to substantiate any of the claims made about it. However, JD did mention that the license for this technology alone would cost $6 million and I'm willing to accept that as the truth (js: why on earth would you?). If that's the case then it is obviously a very valuable technology as value in this industry is determined by results.
As to why they're willing to offer it to us for $100/mth (js: ummm.... $60 a month) instead of selling to large institutions, you really have to have an understanding of how compensation within this industry works to see the huge value that exists for the company.
First of all, you have to look at the capital invested by the whole group and not the individual amounts that make up the whole. If 10,000 people join OSW, you're looking at approximately $600,000 monthly that will be flowing into the trading account ( remember that all matrix commissions will not be paid out to members but will instead be invested on their behalf, with the principle held for 12 months ).
Now let's assume that the average member deposit into the trading account is an additional $1,000 (js: well, the minimum will have to be about $600 per member). This brings the account to $10,000,000 with additional deposits of $600,000 monthly ( which will grow every time a new member joins ).
I don't know which Forex Broker will hold the account for OSW but I can pretty much guarantee that the company has established a relationship where they're paid out of the trading profits as well as on the spread. On a $10 million account with ultra conservative leverage, it's likely that they'd be trading a minimum of 100 standard lots per entry. At even a 1 pip rebate the company would be receiving $100 in referral commission for every trade placed. If they place 20 trades per day which is not uncommon for a "scalper", then that's $2000 in corporate income regardless of whether the trade is profitable or not.
In additional if they have a profit sharing a arrangement they will get a percentage of the monthly growth on the account. Even if their cut is 5% of the profit it will produce significant income given the account size.
There are plenty of reasons why the company would offer this service to us instead of selling it to an institution. As the membership grows and invested capital increases, so to will their revenue.
xxxxxxx (name deleted)
ps. I completely agree with you that people should not be expecting more than 10% monthly. If they can achieve more then so be it but just consider that gravy."
I have posted the above because I want you to know what you're getting into from the start. If you ignore the above, and come back and complain two months later, I will just have to ignore you. Got it? Good.
Now go out and play.
js
The below post from Ken Russo resulted from my pointing out that the $60 fee per month is just too much for the regular folk, or most folks, as I see it. Many posts at the ASA forum prompted others to agree with me (before trying to put me down of course) and I thank those that supported me, including Ken, to bring this into the open. Hopefully the Owner(s) of OceanSideWealth will act on it.

Here is Ken's newest post:
Greetings Everyone,
In the interest of making the very best program that it can be, I am going to make some comments followed by some suggestions.
First, I believe this will be a fine program if I am able to earn just 5% per month, especially when we consider current economic conditions. If the average return is 10% per month, so much the better. If, in fact, the trader(s) can achieve the stated goal of 20% we will have an exceptional passive income producer. Any given month which produces in excess of 20% would be gravy. I make these statements because I can afford to place enough funds into the program so that even a 5% return will justify my $60 monthly fee. For example, with just $2000 invested I will earn as follows...
Now, some very important questions, assuming that the entry level remains at $60 and remaining aware of the fact that the program is not yet time-tested and proven.
How many folks will be able to invest enough funds to cover their monthly fee and turn a profit?
How many folks will be joining just to see if they can get "lucky" with regard to their placement in the community matrix and/or their subsequent team matrix so that all or at least a portion of their monthly fee is covered via matrix earnings?
How many folks who are not lucky will drop out of the program or not join at all because they cannot justify the monthly expense?
My last question is directed at J D and his partners and I believe it is the MOST important question...
Do you want your program to appeal to the masses or only to those who can afford to make larger investments? I am hopeful that you wish to appeal to the masses. If so, I offer the following suggestions....
First and foremost, you must establish a multi-tiered entry level with the lowest level at $20, the mid level at $40 and the highest level at $60.
Those who enter at the $20 level could invest a maximum of $1000. This level would cater to those who are able or willing to invest only a few hundred. At this point let's be clear on something. The meat of this endeavor lies in its viability as a passive investment vehicle. Those who don't have at least $200 or $300 to invest should probably not be joining, especially if they are not active marketers. As we know, the vast majority of folks in ANY program are NOT active marketers and this program is no exception.
As the program evolves, members at the lowest entry could upgrade to the mid level or the higher level at any time. An upgrade to the $40 level would allow the member to increase their investment to an maximum of $3000. Finally, an upgrade to the $60 level would allow the member to invest any amount they wish.
I do not wish to throw a wrench into the gears at this point. However, to be very frank, I believe that offering onlya $60 level is a MAJOR flaw in an otherwise very promising program. Several folks are in agreement with my suggestions. I am hopeful that many others will take a moment to share their opinions.
js: By the way, Jake of ASA fame has been speaking with Ken, my Sponsor, and he is in total agreement with Ken’s (above) plan. Now it remains with OceanWhatever to approve it and implement it before they launch. I sure hope they do!
Here is a nice video about our planet, 2012, and what's to come. Lots of questions. No answers. Thanks to Ivan P.

Anunnaki and Nibiru - The Return 2012 - What's the hype? Part 3 A PUFOIN Commentary By John Jaeger
Go here. The only thing I’d like to correct the Author on? We are clearly in the 3rd density, not the fourth. The fourth is that Astral plane, the fifth is the Mental plane, and the sixth is the Buddhic or Causal plane. The 7th is the Transcendental or Ultimate Divine Domain. Hope he gets this straight some time or other.
OceanSideWealth will be launched on this Saturday at 10 AM EST. I will send out an ALERT with the correct link. Stay tuned. In the meantime read the info (below) and fund your Strict Pay and/or SolidTrust Pay (and AlertPay) accounts with at least $60 if you’re going to participate in the matrix side of things.
The first 11 levels will be built by the whole Community (and no, you will not fill your own 2x10, not likely... so get in fast so that you’re in the Community portion).
Don’t worry if you don’t get into the Matrix as the main return will be from ForEx trading. The average return will be 30% per month and compounding will be available (that’s a pretty high return.... so even if they give us 10% return per month we will be happy campers)..
They are offshore in Panama.
ASDCashGenerator (ASDcashBlackHole is more appropriate): I just don’t understand it. This one is supposed to have over 100,000 members and is a well respected manual surf site. Yet they are still holding $336 of my AlertPay hostage since July 10th! No Adpacks! I’ve written twice to support now and even to Andy Bowdoin.
Are we little folk so little that they can’t take the time to honor our AdPack purchases, at least from AlertPay?
I went from being pissed of to angry, to resentful, to a dull feeling of .... nothing (as I can’t waste anymore energy and attention to this).
No response from Support, from Andy, from anyone there. So I’ve finally demanded they return all of my money, STP, AlertPay, balance, and cancel my account. Am just fed up to here (up to my ears) with this outfit. It ought to be labeled as a SCAM, even if it is due to negligence and poor service (and slow as molasses servers).
I have to keep reminding myself of this every day, maybe more than every day: "Do you prefer that you be right, or happy?" The answer is obvious.
Diary: Over the last few years I have been in conflict over which Spiritual Path I should be following.
- the one outlined in "Thinking and Destiny" by Harold W. Percival or - the one outlined by the Huna Teachings (see Max Freedom Long) or - some form of Bhakti Yoga or - A Course in Miracles (some call it the Christian Advaita Vedanta) or - some form of Zen Buddhism - Advaita Vedanta - I've considered many others (Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, New Age, and more). These are not for me.
Every time I consider this question I keep coming back to ACIM or A Course In Miracles. So this time I think am going to stick to it and practice the lessons in the Work Book and s on.
And why is this?
Well, from studying the various Teachings out there the ones that appeal to me the most (and make the most sense) all say basically the following
- What is Changeless cannot contain or encompass something that is changing (evolving or devolving, change in any case). - What is Limitless cannot contain the limited. - What is Infinite cannot contain what is finite. - What is Infinite, Changeless, Eternal, Infinite, All Encompassing is Real. What is unreal cannot exist.
So to me, any Teaching that teaches that this realm, which is limited, full of change and suffering, is finite, not eternal, cannot be the Truth. It is akin to a dream, a mirage in the desert. But this applies to my own understanding; am not saying anything about yours.
e-gold: I got a neat surprise today when trying to sign in. All of a sudden, after a PIN Challenge am getting a screen basically saying that I appear to be on an OPEN PROXY, and they don’t like that. Tried twice, can’t sign in, so I can’t fix that.
So, I powercycled the modem and got a new IP. That did not work either as it is in the same network. So I tried the only other thing I could (as I don’t know if the problem is on the e-gold end or my ISP), which was to switch to my Rogers connection. That worked just fine!
Now, what changed? Well, I have my first ISP working on that. But also e-gold, today, implement some more security measures. And it could well be that because I have HIGH SECURITY on the IP address, the IP address I got from my first ISP may indeed look like it is on an OPEN PROXY. In the meantime I will use me Rogers connection if I wish to access e-gold. Thought I’d like to know if all of a sudden you develop the same problem. Of course you may not have a backup connection, so you will have to call e-gold to resolve that.
If you get the below info don't go there, if you do, DO NOT click on the coin icon, it will try to load a file called amero.exe that likely contains a trojan. I was safe as am on MAC OS X.

Now, some summary around the new programme that is being launched this Saturday. Similar to Mrs. VIP. A few more changes may come due to my efforts: Read about it here:
Ok, here is another lesson I have learned just today.
After a few days of almost ten bucks a day on that Adwords Campaign I have re Hydrogen, HHO, and running further on your gallon of gas using Brown's Gas?
I realized that the top keywords that I was using were simply attracting the wrong crowd? What do I mean?
Well, consider this. My main keyword that was drawing the most clicks per day was HHO and then Hydrogen kits.
Now think about it. What the heck do YOU know about HHO? All you may have heard is that there is a way to save money on the high prices of gas using water!
So who the heck was keying on HHO and Brown's Gas (same thing). Why... the folks who already knew about it and were doing some further research! So by the time they got to MY review, it was old news for them! So they bought.... NOTHING!
Ok, so you see? This is a very interesting game that requires you to use your brains, and think about it. So now I have PAUSED those high paying and poor producing keywords and phrases. Now am focussing on those who are ignorant about all this but have heard something about it in the news, usually. Am more likely to sell with these folks than the folks who already know about it and who are looking for more research and info, all to my detriment in cost per click!
I need STP, use the above link to send me a note if you wish to trade some.
I got this from my friend Bob: (hey Bob! Do you not have a blog yet you lazy ass Orion Lizard in disguise as a Canadian frying pan faucet? Get one now and I will list you on the left, vs. the right. Kapish? Then you can talk to your heart’s desire! Maybe even help some folks out there.)
“Cell phone companies are charging $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 Information calls. Since no one carries a telephone directory in their Vehicle, they get away with it. When you need to use the 411 Information option, simply dial 1(800) FREE 411, or 1 (800) 373-3411; you will incur no charge. This works on your home telephone as well.”
Don’t know if it is good in the US of A. But try it out.
July 18th (Friday)
Ok, here is an important announcement from a person that I do trust. Ken Russo. Read on.
Greetings Everyone,
Make no mistake. MrsVIP remains at the very top of my list of recommended programs and I expect that it will for years to come.
In the interest of diversification I will be joining Oceanside Wealth. There is an extensive discussion at the ASA forum....
We are now seeing programs programs which empower each and every member to earn without having to complete a cycle, fill a matrix or build a downline. The first program to successfully combine the network marketing model with a passive income producing model is QLx3. The second (and best) program to do so is MrsVIP. Now we have Oceanside Wealth (OW) presenting a new program which will appeal to the masses. Thankfully, we are witnessing a major transformation in this industry which tends to render referral-based programs obsolete and this is extremely good news for the vast majority of industry participants who have never been able to develop the additional income stream(s) they desperately seek.
I am in agreement with the following review from a fellow member...
begin review ================== Oceanside Wealth Review
Program announcement has exploded over at ASA forums and other various forums:
Oceanside Wealth Builders will be available to the public this MONDAY, July 20, 2008 (Saturday, July 26th) for signups. I will be sharing and quoting some of what I heard from various contacts, forums, etc. I've heard a lot of good things about this company, mostly from my good friend Jake over at ASA. He feels this program may be the next "V-Lane". This is a new investment opportunity with a 15-20% average earned monthly (some months doing 30-40%). This earning percentage does not expire. The matrix side of the company can prove to be great source of income. This program has a somewhat similar structure to our favorite opportunity out there, MrsVip & V-Lane Traffic, in the sense that you have to join the matrix to take advantage of the product. In this case, the product is investments. People on the forums are excited to get in early because of the 2x10 "community" forced matrix, where people will be placed automatically LEFT TO RIGHT, all the way down to the first 10 levels. With the amount of excitement this program has been given, you can pretty much count on the 2x10 matrix to fill up quickly with no open spots. Getting in early is wise. I believe that if you get in early, and I mean early, you can bank on making a nice income from the matrix, even if you don't sponsor. Many will be watching closely for launch. Subscription is $60 a month. Weighing risk vs reward, I feel that this opportunity is worth the risk, and the reward can be much higher.
Now I can't guarantee these will be the earnings or anything. The site hasn't even launched. I just did some due diligence and gathered information from the forums, contacts, and company. Do realize that even though everyone is going crazy over the matrix, it's the product that matters the most at the end of the day. Most people aren't matrix builders. After the initial craze of signups, the 15-20% average monthly return is what should keep the program alive. I won't lie by saying I'm not excited to see what the matrix can bring though.
Anyways, I'm in this program because of Jake's recommendation. I've known of Jake for years but only became friends with him since January 2008 or so. I truly believe he changed his path, since he no longer promotes ponzis. I don't think he'll steer us wrong, and will provide good opportunities. Message from the company:
"Hello everyone, We are very excited to bring you this phenomenal opportunity with Oceanside Wealth! I just got off the phone with my web programmer and we should be ready to start putting in positions in the matrix as early as Friday. To give everyone a little foresight of what to expect... REAL RETURNS based on our ACTUAL RETURNS. We use an institutional grade $60 million Forex trading program along with the many years of experience of our trader to bring you phenomenal returns. We will be posting monthly performance graphs along with doing live webinars so you can see our amazing results! We will also have a built in front-end matrix with a $60 per month membership fee. You will then be able to add any amount in $100 increments on top of that to go into our program. When we say any amount, we mean ANY AMOUNT. There will be no maximum with us as we do not have to "look" for places to put the money. It all gets combined with our personal portfolio to leverage it. The matrix will be a 2 by 10 forced matrix with the first 10 levels "community forced". This means that the first 1046 people will be placed automatically left to right all the way down the first 10 levels. This will ensure that there are no open spots and no one will get left behind. Jake said that he thinks we will fill the 2 x 10 matrix in about a month, so as soon as we are live, you will want to put your position in ASAP. We will definitely be here for the long haul and are looking forward to helping as many people's dreams come true as possible." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- end review
Just last night (Thursday, July 17) I saw an hour long demonstration of the trading platform and I was very impressed.
This program will not be launching until this coming Monday, July 20. Saturday, July 26th This gives you time to review the information contained in the forum link provided above. Please do not send questions about Oceanside Wealth to me at this time. Instead, post them in the forum and I'm sure they will be responded to quickly. As you review the information in the forum you will see that Oceanside Wealth is very similar to MrsVIP in that they both have...
...a membership matrix structure
...a passive income opportunity*
...the means by which ALL members can earn, whether or not they refer a single person.
*Since we are required to view and rate websites an average of 22 days per month, V-Lane Traffic cannot be defined as totally passive. Oceanside Wealth is totally passive.
I have already decided to join the program based upon the information I have seen. I will be sending my referral link as soon as the program launches. I will send a 24 hour notice prior to the launch as a reminder.
Active marketers should pay close attention to the matrix income potential. I am not going to hype the matrix portion of the program. While there is always significant spillover the moment a program launches, especially a 2-wide matrix, it is not of major significance to inactive members who find themselves on the lower levels of any matrix. It will be of interest to our active members and I suggest that everyone make your contacts aware of Oceanside Wealth. The purpose for the matrix side of the program is to reward the efforts of active marketers and responsible sponsors. Without active marketers these programs would not exist. While we are not required to refer anyone to earn in the matrix, those that do will earn a 50% matching bonus on anyone they do refer!
As is always the case, most of the members of OSW will not be in the "active marketer" category. Like V-Lane Traffic, they will see the value of the passive portion of the program and they will understand that the returns from the program will greatly exceed the monthly cost of membership assuming they have adequate funds available to make the program work for them.
Watch for more info about OSW very soon from myself and the forum. Whether or not this program can perform as advertised and can sustain long- term remains to be seen. If so, I expect that our team will grow steadily as has been the case with QLx3 and MrsVIP. As many of you know, our group accounts for almost 1/2 of the entire QLx3 and GMS membership base. One thing is certain. Whenever a forced matrix is part of the equation, joining sooner is always much better than joining later.
Be cool. It’s really hot here. I will be doing more travel tomorrow as I get my bike out of the repair shop.
Well, am now withdrawing, on average, about $300 USD each week from 10DollarsWonder. I can’t complain about that, can you? That’s about $1200 USD per month. And the 10centclub is going to be active soon, and from there I will withdraw a similar amount. So that’s about $2400 USD a month. That’s pretty well a full time income for most of us, right?
Now remember, ALWAYS re-purchase at least one position each month, else ALL of your positions will go inactive and you will have to purchase the same number of new shares to activate them. It’s in the Policies and Procedures.
So I praise the Admin (Chung) for these two great programmes. The first one has been active for well over a year now!
JOKES:
Canadians are not afraid to stand up.... and be wishy-washy.
The Toronto Maple Leafs, during a drug test, tested positive.... for sucking.
Ok here are my Spiritual confessions, all in one shot:
Why am I here? That's what am trying to figure out. Where do I fit in, and most importantly, why? Why should any of this exist? Why should anyone exist at all? Why? Surely you have pondered that at some time? If not? I wonder why.
Am I being cynical? I just noticed that folks, and even Angels (so-called) and Guides, existing at so-called "higher" levels (of vibration or vibratory frequencies), also play games, "as above, so below. As below, so above, from Hermes Tresmigistus".
So you see, until I get a handle on the "why" I can't really be of help, can I? Or maybe I can. Maybe I can play into their (your) current beliefs and guide them (you) so they (you) find their (your) own way (pardon all the brackets)?
But why? That is the burning question for me. If you and your/my Guides can help me with this so much the better, so much the faster, so I can get on my way. You know? Am not doing this intentionally, am really searching for an answer, for a means, for a purpose, for the why of it all. I really am.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you all that are Spiritually inclined. js Now tell me why.

Hot day today. Nothing to say. Gold was down over yesterday but is now rising. And that’s good for me. In fact, in the last 15 seconds it rose 50 cents! Wow! See the chart, top left.
Ok, listen up. In Traffic-Splash, as I mentioned before you can earn very nice surf rewards each day you surf. But the thing is... unless you scroll down and look at the requirements? You may not earn at all. That’s what happened to me (but they have compensated me nevertheless, and thanks!).
The thing is... once you have surfed 100 pages or more? And are about to quit for the day? Open up a support ticket, tell them your username and such, and how many pages you surfed. They will check, then they will add your credits as text or banners. Probably you should tell them which you would like or the split between the two.
That was cleared up for me today by Support and they were very nice and ... compensating! I do appreciate it. So I went ahead and created five more text ads with 4000 credits each.
One of my readers just traded me his e-gold for my paypal. And I rejoice. Why? Not because of what I have made, but because the price of gold is going up and up each day! See the chart up top, left. E-GOLD holds your USD or your EUROS in ounces of gold bullion. That’s it. So as the price of gold keeps rising? The more money you will have. So don’t waste your e-gold! You WILL be able to sell it in the future. At least I think so!

About my Adwords campaign for HHO/Brown’s Gas/Improving the Gas Mileage of your car or truck:
After I fixed that “Hydrogen” keyword problem I also trimmed down on the various keyword phrase combinations. For instance I eliminated such phrases as: burn water for gas, because that one is easily replaced by: water gas. This is a broad matching phrase that will catch the first query because both water and gas occur in it. So it is not necessary to spell the whole thing out and bid on it.
I also eliminated such exact phrase matches as: [save gas] as that one would only trigger my adverts if the person entered: save gas, and nothing else (the person would most likely have entered: save money on gas). That one was easily replaced by: save gas (notice no square brackets), as the latter throws out a larger net in which to catch end user queries. The former is a much smaller net, if you can see what I mean.
So finally the Campaign has been tweaked all it can be and am just watching the daily clicks, cost, and which Ads are doing better than others.
As well, so far I’ve only told Adwords to display my ads when users use only the Search feature at google.com. The other feature is to allow google to display my adverts on other people’s websites, if the content matches any of my keywords. That part is called the Content network or Adsense. So at 11:08 EST today I was brave enough to turn that part of it on. I will go out for an hour, come back, and see if am getting robbed or if the extra clicks are worth it, in terms of some sales. I have 2 sales so far. And it has been fun! The next Campaign will go far more quickly and easily. (And I will not have as much competition as in this one.)
Sorry, my site was down for six hours or so due to a UPS problem at the Hosting Provider (they had to shut down half their network due to a blown fuse), but... I suspect otherwise. It began on Friday... when they failed to renew their registration and their registrar and had to scramble to re-en state it and handle the propagation from that. That’s ok, I forgive them.
Got the below from Dolphin, looked into it and it is an interesting and mind-opening site. Please keep your mind open. It works like a parachute. Best when OPEN.

Hi John ...
You might be interested in reading this book .. it's free and it's available online to read.
The author is a regular poster at the David Icke forum and I've had some correspondence with him.
Anyway, he put a lot of time and effort into this book and it's put together in a much simpler and easier to digest format than a lot of other books out there saying basically the same thing. In other words, if someone is new to this sort of information, they will find this book much easier to absorb ...
People can download it if they wish but if they don't want to wait for the long download or for it to take up space on their pc, they can click the "read now" button on the site and it'll open another website called Scribd that one can read from there. I chose the latter and clicked on "full screen" and am half way through the book after a day .. it's that good :-) Reads at a good quick clip and like I said, much much more "friendly" to digest without people feeling overwhelmed ....
I'm trying to spread the word about it .... the author makes no money from this other than donations that are voluntary ...
Hope you find it as informative as I do :-)
Dolphin
js: Thanks Dolphin. And yes, folks, spread the word. Oh and even though I know most of this stuff already (as presented in the above book) I still felt like sending in a donation for the good work that was done. And is being done. They take paypal.

IN THE NEWS: It is expected that NASCAR attendance will be down by 10% due to rising gas prices. "That’s Republican stomping grounds; you take away NASCAR and you can pack your bags."
Am seeing signs of a coming depression. The US Dollar is about to become worthless. Sell your USD and buy Euros, gold, silver.
The USD will fall to zero and be replaced with the AMERO, or maybe they will go right to a debit card with a microchip.
Gold jumped $25 recently (up) in just one day! Visit kitko.com to see this. More and more Banks will fold.

July 12th (Saturday)
I made a mistake. And you should avoid making the same one. It was in my Adwords Campaign for the Hydrogen Ad Group.
What happened was that I saw in Google/Slasher that folks were finding my ads through the keyword: Hydrogen. That was yesterday morning. So I said: what the heck, let’s add that keyword to my Hydrogen Ad Group campaign.
By the evening I noticed that I had about 5 or so clicks on one or more of my ads for that keyword. Just over $1.50 as it was thirty one cents per click. No big deal, right?
Well I wake up this morning at 6:30 AM EST and check my Adwords progress. Bang! I was hit in the head. The cost of that Ad Group that contained the keyword hydrogen was up at $19 and change! OUCH!
Why? Then it came to me. What an idiot. I KNEW that if I were to add a simple keyword like: Hydrogen that any query that contained that keyword would trigger the showing of my Ads in the Hydrogen Ad Group! What does this mean?
Well, let’s say some 12 year old was up late at night cramming to finish his Science Project on Hydrogen. So he enters the following google search query: Will my cat suffocate if exposed to Hydrogen?
Now that search phrase contains the word Hydrogen, so all of my Ads in the Hydrogen Ad Group get triggered and are displayed. The kid looks on the right of the results screen, scrolls through a few pages, and notices one or more of my Ads.... he just pays attention to the Title, and it contains Hydrogen. So he clicks on it and it costs me thirty one cents!
Then old Granny comes online and ... you get the picture.
So this morning I quickly went into my keywords list in my Hydrogen Ad Group and PAUSED that particular keyword.
So let that be a lesson to you and I. Only enter phrases that folks are using, like “hydrogen fuel cell”. This one will match any search query that contains exactly that phrase. Or [hydrogen HHO], that one would trigger my ads only if the person specifically and only entered that phrase and nothing else. Or: hydrogen hho brown’s gas. That would trigger my ads if the search phrase contains all of those words, in any order, anywhere. Neat eh? And fun! Wow.
Yesterday I talked about the price of Gas at the pump. Is there something that we could do to lower the price of Gas at the pump? I don’t think so.
A few days ago The President of the US, George Walker Bush, was asked what he was doing to lower gas prices. His response was something like this: If I could wave a magic wand and have the price of Gas at the pump go down.... well, I’d do that! But I can’t.
Har! What a brilliant response from the Leader of the #1 Super Power on the planet.
But then... Obama was asked the same question (if he were to become President....) Guess what his answer was? Basically the same as Bush’s! Can you believe it?
So what am saying is that we have failed to influence the Governments and the Oil Industry (and the Car industry) to do something about rising prices of fossil fuels or to depend less on fossil fuels.
So as I mentioned yesterday (below) we have to take the fight to our cars! And trucks! There are now lots of folks buying Guides and Kits that allow them to extract compressed Hydrogen, or rather HHO or Brown’s Gas, get that into the car or truck engine and improve performance and mileage. And most of these kits and guides are under $200.
So yesterday I indicated that the best Guide out there (to implement) is this one: CENTEMAX for complete novices and newbies.
Now, there are some folks out there that love tinkering with their cars and that would like to be a part of an Organization that is World-Wide which loves to tinker, make new innovations, and share them with the rest of the members, with no patents, so that one can even go out there, file a patent and start producing and selling whatever it is one has discovered (from others even).
This one is a bit more expensive than the one above due to all kinds of add-on benefits. So if you are that type of person you would best be served by this one: Water4Gas. Have fun with your car or truck! Am going to as well, as soon as I buy a used car, in August I think.
Back to HHO, Brown’s Gas and increasing your Gas Mileage: ok, there are some nay-sayers out there that keep standing on their hind legs and braying that it takes more energy to produce Brown’s Gas than you can get energy out of that Brown’s Gas, so poooo poooo!
What they DO NOT understand is that the Brown’s Gas (HHO or H + H or 2H 2O) improves the gasoline BURN efficiency of your car’s engine! Right now the burn efficiency is somewhere around 20% to 30%. Brown’s gas, when it enters the chamber and a spark ignites this lightest of molecules, cause the gasoline to burn FASTER and more completely, thus producing far less (if any) emissions (unburned hydrocarbons), as well as making MORE use of the gasoline being burned, thus leading to better gas mileage (how does one say... kilometrage? French I guess.)
You see, this is why your car contains a catalytic converter! To burn off that remaining portion that the engine (in one cycle) did not burn off. But with the addition of Brown’s Gas that stuff gets burned off in one cycle, hence no emissions and more bang for your gasoline buck!
So the HHO or Brown’s Gas DOES NOT contribute extra energy, kapish? Now, if any of you are interested I can print, here, a very lengthy compilation of discussions on this issue. If you read through it, by the time you get to the end? You will understand what I have just summarized. Tell me if you want me to print all that here.
So these kits really DO work, but not for the reasons that most believe. Or are led to believe.
So am enjoying the rest of the day off, as I can, and my doorbell rings. I waddle down the stairs and open the door. There before me stands some alien looking guy. I have a question on my face and he notices.
He then says to me: “Do you realize that there are people starving right now in Kosovo?” I look around, look at my girth, and after a while I reply, defending myself: “But I have been here all day!”
“I haven’t eaten any of their food!” Then I realize that he’s just here to collect money to help the starving folks in Kosovo. Dang!
Ok, relax, that was just a joke! Sheesh. Hope you got a laugh.
July 11th (Friday)
Something I discovered today, or recalled: are you in Traffic-Splash? That’s the one that has a five second timer. Well I signed in today and decided to click on Surf Rewards. And the next screen brought my memory back. To start off with, if you surf 100 sites in a day you get 1000 text ad points, and 500 banner ad points.
Now I have surfed over 100 sites each and every day for a while now. So I checked my banners, I had three and added a fourth today and had 10,000 banner ad points! So put those to use.
Same with the text ads. So don’t you too forget! Use those credits!
Ok, about my adwords campaigns for Water4Gas? Had some clicks overnight. Cost about $2.65 so far. Clicks but no sales yet. Patience.................
The price of Google/Nemesis/Slasher is going up by 4 PM EST today. They’ve sold 10,000 copies and are trying to limit how many more are sold.
Over the day I’ve made a number of adjustments to my Adwords campaign and Ad Groups (two of them) and am starting to get clicks! Hopefully sales will follow. I had to split my main Ad Group into two: one that related to water for gas and the other that related to Hydrogen, HHO, Hydrogen fuel cells and so on. This must be done so that you know which Ad Groups are performing well and which are not, and within those, which Ads (because the Ads that you create must relate to the keywords that folks are typing in at google.com, if they don’t? Your placement is poor).
In any case, are you folks not sick and tired of the high gas prices that continue to rise? I even heard on CNN today that there is speculation and anticipation of further rising prices because analysts expect further attacks to continue by guerillas on the Niger Delta (Nigeria is the fourth largest Oil producer and shipper to the USA). So expect prices at the pump to rise even further, even if no more attacks occur.
So what’s the solution? The solution is with each and every one of you! Forget the high prices. Get a kit that converts stored Hydrogen in a water bottle (a quart) [using current (amps) from your car or truck battery] to Brown’s Gas, also known as HHO and Hydroxy. One pint/quart of water will allow your car to go another 900 miles on the same tank of gas!
Here is my top pick for most of you non-techies: CENTEMAX.
July 10th (Thursday)
OK, let me continue from I left off yesterday. I had completed the Reviews page by editing the provided template by Google/Slasher. It gave me a link to the page (and they host it).
So then I signed in at Adwords (and you can get a free account at adwords.google.com) and proceeded to set up a Campaign. But first I used a free tool to figure out which keywords that pertained to my product(s) were being used by the folks that get to google.com.
You can use either the Google Assassin Tool or this free tool: http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/<--- OK, best compare against the new Google Tool, info is below.
So in my case I looked up these keywords and keyword phrases (and more): water for gas, burn water, HHO, hydrogen, hydrogen cell, water fuel cell (and more). I chose the ones that got the most hits (in the hundreds) and used those in my Adwords campaig in the Keyword section.
Then I create two ads that went against the same keywords. This is called split-testing. It’s where you test two or three different adverts for the same keywords that folks enter in google.com when they are looking for a product or service. after a few hour or even days you will notice that google adwords tracks the number of impressions and clicks for each advert (and even keyword, in the keyword section). The ratio of clicks to impressions, expressed as a percentage is what is called a ClickThroughRatio, or CTR. The higher the CTR the more effective is your advert. After a while, when you can see that the CTR of one of your ads is significantly greater than that of the other adverts, you simple delete the ineffective adverts.
One more hurdle I faced that after a few minutes of posting my two adverts both were suspended by the Editorial Staff for breach of rules on the “display link”. You see there is a display link in the advert an an actual link that takes them to the right review page. The rules are that the display link must at least contain the domain name of the target link, and mine did not. I finally read the rules, and replaced the display link with reviewcb.com and both ads went through ok. That was this morning. And am already getting impressions of my ads.
If you then go to the keywords tab, google will show you the CTR for each keyword. A CTR less than 2% is excellent, so don’t expect to see CTRs higher than that. On the right side of the screen you will also see a placement figure. It ranges from 1 to 10 as it is referring to the max possible ads on the right hand side of a google search. You should aim for positions 5 through 7, not 1 through 3. I’ll explain why later, maybe.
10:00 AM EST. I was just rereading Andrew Goodman’s excellent book “Winning Results with Google AdWords” (look it up at Amazon.com) down at the dam. And it just came to me that most folks are afraid to start using Google Adwords to create their ads and attract folks to the products that they are selling.
Why is that?
First I think it is the learning curve. Most folks will balk at learning something new that requires a lot of attention.
Secondly, most folks think it will cost them a lot in cost per click. Well, read Andy Goodman’s book and that will help to dispel that fear (it’s a bidding process and you can get clicks at a low cost).
Finally, I want you to know that if you use Google/Nemesis/Slasher to build your review pages that you need not use Google Adwords at all! That’s right. You read that right. Slasher gives you a special link to your reviews page. Simply put that link in Forum signatures (saying something like “Unbiased review of the life of toasters....”, in Article submissions, even traffic exchanges. Basically, advertise your link as you would any other. The beauty is that Google Slasher will then keep track of where your clicks are coming from and where your sales are coming from without you having to set up any kind of tracking whatsoever.
I hope that’s clear. Am doing both.
I received an e-mail from Ewen Chia (A Super Affiliate) about a change at Google recently. Basically consider NOT using the WordTracker tool I mentioned above as it is likely inaccurate. Here is his e-mail on this:
“Hi John,
Thanks for being my joint venture partner!
I've more good products coming up for you to promote and make money with and will update you soon...
Today I just want to tell you about a new change in adwords which will be good news to most of us.
Something big happened in the internet marketing world this morning and you need to know about it...
Google have done something which they said they'd never do, and it probably spells the "end" for services like Wordtracker.
Here's the summary...
- If you've ever used Google Adwords you'll know they always represented search volume for a keyword by a rating out of 5.
This morning they scrapped that, and started showing ACTUAL SEARCH VOLUME for keywords.
Now Wordtracker keyword volumes have always been accused of being wildly inaccurate because they make predictions from only 2-3% of actual search activity. So now that Google has made a change, more accurate search volume is finally available.
Go try it out here, enter a keyword and you'll see Google's estimate of actual search volume - and this is great news for us internet marketers!
How does this affect your keyword and market research?
Now you can be absolutely sure of the size of a niche because there's no more need to make wild guesses about search volume :-)
Hope you find this useful.
Talk soon John.
To Your Success!
Ewen”
Ok, I’ve received so many e-mails from my readers urging me to get going with ASDCashGenerator that I finally threw my hands up and surrendered. I’ve had an account with them since Nov. of 2007. It appears that these folks are doing exceptionally well. You earn 125% of your Adpackage and then it disappears. Well there are more details on the site.
Some of my readers have put in $5K to $10K already into this one and folks seem to be quite happy. Andy Bowdoin got invited to speak with President George W. Bush (something about receiving the Medal of Distinction).... wooooh, yawn. Must be doing something good! And this one is not a ponzi, apparently. And about 2000 new members join each day.
Ok then! Let’s Play! I’ve bought nearly 900 adpacks today.
July 9th (Wednesday)
Well I finally managed to purchase Google Nemesis (Slasher). I had to eventually use a credit card as paypal would not verify my transaction for some odd reason.
I’ve started working with the key tool this morning without watching any of the videos as it is quite self-explanatory and guides you through the campaign setup and creating of the Reviews page(s). Each Review page will contain three reviews. It guides you to choose the Top Product using keywords (and here you should try several different keywords to bring up a Clickbank product that fits; I had to try several variations before I found the Top Product I wanted to review). Then you are guided to select the Middle Product and then the Bottom product.
You are then presented with a template. You just click on each entry and write your review (you are guided in everything, from listing benefits to sales copy and so on). So this step should be followed very carefully. Do not rush. You will have access to each Product you chose so you can peruse the sales page of each and extract the key info that you need to put into the review. So you don’t even have to be an expert at writing reviews.
So that’s where am at. Working on my first review of three key products. After that I will simply create an Adwords Campaign and use copy and paste to move the info over. I won’t have to worry about tracking (and sales tracking) as Google Nemesis/Slasher will do that for me.
So now am taking a break and then will get back to finishing my first Campaign.
After a few breaks I have finally finished one of three reviews using Google Nemesis/Slasher. Here is my progress so far. Please do not steal my text. Come up with your own.
As you can see only the first Review is done. The other two remain as templates.
4:45 PM EST: Ok the above is no longer true as I’ve finished all three reviews and started an Adwords Campaign. I don’t expect too many results as this is the one that Chris X gave away to thousands of folks. So it was just for practice. By the way, I can also use the review in forums, signatures, articles, and so on. So am not limited to using Adwords, neither are you.
Oh and I forgot to mention, Chris X and folks host your reviews pages, so you don’t need a website.
The link is now live and working. There are a limited number of “seats” though. So don’t tarry.
After you have finished reading and scrolled to the bottom of the page, click on the ORDER NOW button, then on the next page scroll to the bottom. If you don’t see it say affiliate=micronuts then do not yet purchase. Instead either try another browser or clear your cache and cookie for clickbank and try it again.
Well it seems all this has been fixed as am seeing sales through paypal.
July 7th (Monday)
Ok, I cannot stress this enough.
When you try and sell an info-product, say, there are two key ways of selling it. In both ways let's assume, as a given, that you're going to write a review of the product and compare it to two others. And you're going to send folks to your review, not the sales page.
One more thing, you don't have to buy the product to produce a good review. If the sales page sucks? Drop the product! No matter how good your review is you will eventually have to send them to the sucky sales page. Loss of sale.
So, assuming you found a product with a good sales page? Read the sales page thoroughly, make notes of the key points, and build your review around that. Then review two more alternatives. Put that on your review page.
So now we are down to the question of how are we going to put our review page in front of faces.
Technique A: Go to social sites, find others who have written reviews about the product you are selling, or a similar product. Put in a comment at their review and include the link to your review page. See the post below where I cover Day 1 through 4 or 5 where I outline the technique.
Also included in Technique A is advertising your review page in forums via signatures, posting the review in forums, advertising your review page in traffic exchanges, free advertising sites and the like.
What's wrong with this technique? Tedious. Time-consuming. May cost money. And most of all, YOU ARE FISHING FOR CUSTOMERS!
Technique B: Create Adword campaigns based on keywords. In this case it is as if you are placing ads in magazines and newspapers. Short ads. But based on certain keywords. Based on WHAT THE CUSTOMER IS LOOKING FOR!
And the testing time can take hours or days, not weeks or months as in magazine advertising and newspaper advertising.
Ok, so what? Well, let's see what the top Affiliates are selling and which keywords are they using? Well, that's tough to do. You need a tool or set of tools to find that out.
Now, previously, Google Assassin helped you with that, but it came with a plethora of tools and many newbies could not get a handle on it. So they begged and Chris X spent another $60K to build one tool that does it all.
One more thing. Tracking. If you can't track how well your keywords are doing, and your clicks, and your sales? Then you are groping in the dark. Sure tracking can be implemented in Clickbank, but it can get complex, especially tracking each keyword!
That's where Google Nemesis comes in (this Tuesday at 3PM EST). It no only lets you find out the top keywords used by the competition, but it will track them, track your links, tell you which keywords are costing you money, which are making you money. And you don't have to worry about the tracking, it does it all for you.
So ask me this: which of the Techniques does js prefer? Why that's a no brainer! Technique B using Google Nemesis! First, it is not as boring as Technique A, where am actually LOOKING FOR CUSTOMERS, it is interesting and can even get fun and challenging.
So are you going to take the challenge and get into Goolge Adwords with the help of Google Nemesis? Or are you going to plug away and advertise your link in exchanges, surf sites, free ads, and all that boring stuff?
Up to you.
Watch this video: http://4u2bn.com/fg76 and come back on Tuesday after 3PM EST and use the same link to get the product.
For more details read the below review.
July 6th (Sunday)
PRODUCT REVIEW: Google Nemesis (launching Tuesday, 3 PM EST)
Ok, listen, both of us know that Affiliate Marketing is the way to go and that Google Adwords is what you should be using to promote other people's products. Why? Because when folks go to a search engine like google.com and enter a search they are actually LOOKING for what they want and need.
So that's completely different from the scenario where you try to sell products through advertising, search sites, exchanges, free ads and so on. There you are looking for the customer. In the former case the customer is looking for what you are selling!
Fine. One more thing. Taking folks to the author's sales page simply does not work as everyone else and his dog are doing that. Besides, when Affiliates do that they are using the same link as other affiliates that are promoting the same product, and google only allows the same link ONCE. So how are you going to get to the top of the organic (free) listings? Not a chance.
The solution is to write a review page for each product you are selling. On each review page compare at least three similar products. Write up an honest review and put that up on your site. It will have a unique link and google will like that.
But then what about tracking your clicks and your sales. It's doable, but complicated so most folks will not do it and hence leave money on the table.
Well, Google Nemesis will not only generate your reviews at a push of the button, but also create all the tracking links for each keyword. So you won't have to worry about those details. I myself and buying this one simply because it eliminates the tracking headache, and trust me it is a headache.
Now here is what Chris X had to say about Google Nemesis:
Unless you’ve been under a rock for the last few weeks, you will have heard about our soon to be launched review page creator – Google Nemesis.
This will automate the entire process of creating review pages to promote affiliate products.
But in addition to that we incorporated into the software an automated tracking system that cuts out all the need for you to track your campaigns manually.
I am not going to say too much about it here as Google Nemesis is about to be launched in the next few days and all will be revealed - but what I will tell you is that the automated tracking system included in Google Nemesis :
Uses hidden tracking indicators which automatically track your keywords for you and show you which ones are losing money.
uses a secret tracking system that will highlight profitable keywords for you
removes the need for you to set tracking up – so you can just forget about it and get on with creating your review pages and campaigns
In short Google Nemesis is a ‘push button’ automated system that will create your review page, track all of your keywords and tell you clearly which ones are winners and which are losers. It even tells you how to write the product review.
All you have to do is decide which products you are going to promote – it’s as easy as that.
As I pointed out – I am removing all and any excuses for you not to be able to create review pages quickly and easily AND track your campaigns without any work on your part because Google Nemesis has it all automated for you.
It really is a ‘push button’ system that you will be up and running with immediately.
Remember, if you want to maximise profits from your campaigns you need to start using review pages and track your campaigns but you also need to make the whole process as easy as possible so that you can cash in on it.
Oh and I forgot to mention, Chris X and folks host your reviews pages, so you don’t need a website.

==== GOOGLE NEMESIS: FAQ & RUMOUR CONTROL...
Q: WHAT IS GOOGLE NEMESIS? A: Google Nemsis is the answer to the question, "why can't I make money with ClickBank in 2008". It took us over $60,000 and 8 months to do it, but today we have succeeded in creating the ultimate wealth-building system. This all-in-one weapon of affiliate doom allows you to "predict" conversion rates using our 3 "hidden" indicators. It allows you to systematically locate the top PPC campaigns, and then create your own "superior clone" in minutes.
Swipe our $1500/day templates and edit them with the click of a mouse, then launch using - you guessed it - more proven templates. We have reverse-engineered a $1500/day campaign, bottled the formula, and are about to unleash it onto the `net in less than 48 hours.
Q: WHY GOOGLE NEMESIS? A: Nemesis is defined as "an opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome", or "one that inflicts divine retribution and vengeance". And frankly, there has never been a more apt name for any money-making tool or system.
As the below video shows, my Nemesis system has already *dominated* the toughest niche on ClickBank to the tune of $1500/day.
It's already generated job-killing income for a select few of my test subjects. And, since you will literally be copying a series of proven templates, you're going to profit - NOT by being smart - but by simply following clear and easy instructions.
And remember, too, that this all comes under the hallowed "Day Job Killer" brand. So, it's not about a theoretical $1 million tomorrow - it's about you making a realistic second income today.
It's about the guys who need it most having their *first* $100 day ...and getting a bit of "vengeance" and "divine retribution" along the way.
Q: WHAT PRICE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE? A: Frankly, given the numbers here, we were looking at a $197-297/month release price. And at that price, it would be a bargain. Expect a monthly fee lower than that - but certainly not cheap.
Q: WILL THIS REPLACE GOOGLE ASSASSIN / DJK / ETC? A: All of my previous guides have generated job-killing income for thousands of affiliates - and they will never be replaced. What Nemesis does is this: it takes my previous methods and refines and simplifies them ...so that even the greenest of newbies can profit.
Q: ANYTHING ELSE? A: Yes, watch the video. Understand that all of this is doable, these numbers ARE within reach, whether you buy or not. And, for those who take action on Tuesday,... enjoy :)
Now, for the proof you have demanded of me. Enjoy...
Come back on Tuesday after 3PM EST and use the above link to order.
numenmail was closed or was a scam back in 2004.
Here is a note from a reader of mine:
"Concerning numenmail, I realize that the posts are quite old. Still, I wanted to add my ideas.
I joined Numenmail about two months ago and have already applied for my $8888 reward for having participated in the program. As to the $800 difference, they give you $800 to begin. Thus, if you already read enough emails to earn $300, your balance will show as $1100. When you get to $8888 or more in earnings, they offer you many ways to get $8888 sent to you. I chose a check since I live in the Philippines where it is harder to handle those other methods.
Whenever your earnings are high enough ($8888), there will be a note on the bottom of the page of your earnings. Click on the link and tell them you want your money. I did it when my earnings were over $10,000. Then, my balance showed $1112, the difference between $10,000 and $8888. Now I am starting over again.
I just asked for my earnings about a week ago so I don't expect my check for another month or so."
Dang! this really sounds like scam! Why do it? You see the machinations here? Ugh!
and
"Numenmail : Internet scam?
I hv an account in this site. It said I'm paid to click. Well, since it's free so I tried (when it come to free thing, I would LOVE to try! Can't help it :p). What I hv to do is click any sponsor and wait around 30-50s, then they credited money into my account. Sound simple isn't it? But then I refer to the internet, there are discussion about this site and even announced it as scam! It's true that it cost me nothing to register and click (I even watch youtube while waiting for 30s to end) But considering I'm contributing money to someone else and gain nothing in return, I hv to blacklist it. Why should I do something that doesn't profit me back?"
I looked around some more and am pretty comfortable at saying that this one is a scam.

July 3th (Friday)
Happy Independence Day to those of you in the USA, but not the US.
The True Cause of Illness according to George Ohsawa (of the Macrobiotic Foundation)
“The true cause of illness is desire, which comes from greed, which results, in turn, from ignorance about the Order of the Universe. I, who have counseled some fifteen thousand sick people, say it outright. Desire, greed, blindness of heart, arrogance, and pride - all these are characteristics of the sick. And it all comes from ignorance and stupidity caused by the cloud that separates us from true Wisdom”
“By nature we possess a cloudless Wisdom, given that we are born of that infinite, absolute world which is of God. We are all children of God and citizens of an infinite, absolute world. Forgetting this truth is the cloud that causes us to be sick...”
“Our conception of the Universe needs to rest on a great principle. Such a principle must not only be valid for the finite world, but must be applicable to both the finite and infinite realms... It should be a principle that allows for the elevation of man’s daily existence to a higher level, one that is marked by a healthy, happy, peaceful, free, and ideal way of life.”
BEGINNER IN AFFILIATE MARKETING (this is for ALL of you)
Ok, am going to pretend am a part time affiliate marketer wannabe. Am going to chronicle my day to day activities and progress.
OVERVIEW:
I've decided to sell some other people's products. What's my best choice? Info products. Why? Nothing to ship, no inventory. And Clickbank will do the payment processing and shipping (dowloading).
Ok am off to my day job.
Day 1:
Ok am back and ready to go (but am kinda tired so I have some coffee).
So the first thing I need to do is to find an info product that talks about something that I know something about, so that I can talk about it, and write up an unbiased review of. (Sorry, must be the caffeine)
Ok am now going to clickbank.com and am registering for an account. Done.
I've signed in and am going to the Marketplace. I've decided to choose the Health category as am somewhat familiar with health related issues. And as a sub-catergory I chose Spiritual Health. I clicked on GO and the number one info product that showed up is: Secret Behind The Secret - Fast Selling Book About Law Of Attraction
Wow! I know something about that! So am sure I will have fun selling that e-book. In fact, am so excited about it, and so that I write a good and informed review of it, I decide to buy it myself (using my own Clickbank username of course so I get it at half price; hey! why not?).
I pay for the eBook, download it, and read through it quickly. Wow! This one looks like the real thing! Ok, gotta go to bed, will write up my review tomorrow.
Day 2:
Ok, am back from work and raring to go! Am excited! So, what I need now is to write a review and put it on some website. Dang it I don't have one of my own. Ok, so then am going to open up a free blogspot account at blogger.com. I go to blogger.com, register, and voila, I have a new blog account called http://9-planetreviews.blogspot.com. What I like about this one is that every review that I publish there can be addressed individually via a link like this: http://9-planetreviews.blogspot.com/2008/06/product-review-law-of-attraction-secret.html
So that's going to be my review. I spend the next half hour to an hour writing the review and posting at blgospot.com
Whew! That was some effort, but ... easy (as I knew something about the topic).
Ok, time to relax, bed, and go to work.
Day 3:
Back from work. Supper. And right back to the computer! What's my next step? I have to expose that review, which, by the way, at the bottom has a link to the actual eBook and free report.
Am thinking of taking advantage of the Social Networking sites.
So here is my strategy:
- use Google Advanced Search to find posts by other folks on the Law Of Attraction and Manifesting. - Once I find those, I will look and see if there are any comments to what the author has posted. - Usually there are ZERO comments. That's ideal, because if I post a comment with my link to my unbiased review? Folks seeing the Author's post will look for comments... and will see mine right away!
So... tonight..... I've chosen a popular social network. I go to google.com and click on Advanced search. In the "All these words" box I proceed to enter: law attraction manifesting
Then I go down to the "Search within a site or domain" box and enter the domain name of the social network of interest. Press Enter.
An lo and behold appear a number of results.
I then open each link in a separate window (Shift-Click), one at a time.... I look for the comments. If none, I add a comment (I had to register with one of them to post comments first).
And the comment I added had something to do with what the author was proposing. If it had nothing to do with the eBook am trying to sell? I would maneuver like this:
"Wow, that's interesting, because I too have found a document that contains both the Scientific explanation and the ancient explanation. Not only that, but the principles AND the methods, something lacking in MOST books (and in most Teachers).
Here is my unbiased review of a book written by a Physicist and one that has studied Spirituality for a long time: http://4u2bn.com/ff70"
Now the url you see above is a cloaked url to my unbiased review. You need not use such a thing.. but if you wish to see where your sales are coming from then you would cloak this: http://9-planetreviews.blogspot.com/2008/06/product-review-law-of-attraction-secret.html with something like http://4u2bn.com/ff70 (you can do so via http://4u2bn.com/?micronuts )
Whew, by now am tired and ready to hit the sack. But a drink first, just to relax me from all that excitement.
Day 4:
Right now all I have to do is repeat Day 3, or where I left off with the next Social Link for Law of Attraction and Manifesting. At this point it feels tedious to me, but hey, most of these posters don't bother to put in comments. So here is my opportunity to generate traffic to my site or review! My unbiased and honest review (hint hint, use those words!). In fact, I keep a Notebook open and copy all of my various comments into it... just in case, as in the future similar responses will be required and I don’t want to retype. I may just change the wording slightly.
Now, if you liked that? There's a Book coming out soon that details not only this technique but others. Stay tuned, have some money ready, and be ready to buy. I sure am.
Conclusion: this may seem complicated? It's not. Just relax and focus. It may also take some time for this to get viral. So patience. Now, once you have done this with one product, find another and do it again. Do it for 100 products! Why not?
July 3rd (Thursday)
It’s nice and quiet here at 5:48 AM EST. Not much to say yet, so I won’t.
Are you folks in the USA getting ready for the big day tomorrow? Independence Day? I wonder how many will be renting and watching the movie of the same name, where Will Smith knocks out an Alien critter? Good movie!
I’ve just noticed that ... there are dogs everywhere! They are even invading the blogs!
Now what if Civilization breaks down? What are you survivors going to do about them dogs? It’s going to be a horror. But... what about the cats? Maybe we can enlist the cats? Ok, good idea! We had better start training them now! Let’s set up camps and get those kitties roaring!
Well, time for a cup of coffee and some Philadelphia Cream Cheese. But not Albert.
Here is a very good link tracker, link cloaker. It will also shorten your long URL/link. Am using it for most of my advertising links. Try it out.
July 2nd (Wednesday)
REVISITING uVme
It's a good thing I could never get that one started (in the beginning when they were in prelaunch).
Do you know what uVme stands for (possibly, according to another blogger)? YOU vs. ME. And ME=Admin/Creator, and YOU are the loser. Well, I tend to agree. The folks who think they are smarter than us always choose revealing symbols, icons, signs, names, and acronyms.
uVme is a replicating game platform that you have to shell out $200 for. You can't even make money just playing the games.
As well they have the typical Amway Hierarchy and even terms. I think you can guess where the designers of this one came from.
THE BEST WAY TO SEARCH MY BLOG:
Open up a browser window and load google.com.
Click on the Advanced Search link on the right of the Search Box . Enter what you are looking for in the appropriate section.
Then in the last text entry box (Search a site or domain) enter: 9planetrevews.com
This way google searches all of the blog pages, not just one.
PROGRAMME REVIEW: workfor1dollar
I myself could not bring up the site for a second day now. But that's ok. I did some research and found out that it is a typical pyramid scam. So don't throw away your dollar.
PROGRAMME REVIEW: shutterstock.com
You can access to over 4 Million Stock photos, by subscription. There is also an opportunity for those of you who take good pictures at: submit.shutterstock.com
Not a scam. So what's the problem? Well, to be accepted you need to submit your 10 best photos. What they don't tell you up front is that even if more than three of those are not approved they suspend your account for a whole month!
Oh and you also have to submit your photoID and signature.
July 1st (Tuesday, Canada Day Holiday)
Do you still remember DriveRapidWealth? I keep forgetting to check it, finally did and am doing nicely in there. It’s a profit sharing pool that is still working well, but the key to this one is the endless text and banner advertising per ad package. So finally I created a couple of banners there for The Law Of Attraction. Here is one of them:
ASPIRIN additions: (you have to read yesterdays entry first, then you will understand)
- Hey John...how about Birth Control?? I have heard that if an aspirin is held tightly between the knees, it is very effective for this purpose! (thanks Jim)
- not tonight honey, I have a headache, where's that ASPIRIN? (thanks MB, I paraphrased though)
PRODUCT REVIEW: water4gas system
What is misnomer. It’s Water PLUS Gas. Seems questionable.
Add some water to your gas and you can increase your mileage or save on gas.
This one seems to work, but it is not for everyone. You have to build it yourself, install it yourself (or get someone to do it) from various parts. All they provide you with are the books that explain how it works and how to put it together.
But... apparently now you can buy a kit from them for $295, but still you need to have someone install it if you can't yourself.
I myself am not interested in this one as right now I have no car. Maybe in another couple of months. Use this link if you decide to join: http://w4gexpert.com/ (and if you own a car, and if you wish to increase your mileage or save on gas). Am not sure what the warranty implications are on new cars. Up to you to investigate that.
June 30th (Monday)
Dang! Am feeling even better today than yesterday! And that means less naps! Or does it? Haha!
ASPIRIN: Ok staff, we have to find new ways to make more money with this one old and faded product.
So far folks have been taking it for headaches. Then we introduced the notion into the public's mind that an aspirin a day may keep heart attacks away.
Let me suggest that we expand our horizons and make the public aware that it can now be taken for backaches. In fact, let's say for any kind of muscle aches.
Ok and how about muscle cramps? What? We don't have any research on that one? Don't worry. They won't ask. We'll just drill that notion into their heads with the same commercial being played over and over and over during the course of a program they will be watching.
Now let's address sharp, needle-like stabbing pains in the feet and sometimes in the hands. Especially the left. What's the answer? ASPIRIN!
Now let's not stop there folks! Come on! Let's have some more ideas.
Tell you what, let's make a list of body related symptoms that folks are concerned about and the ideas should start really flowing!
- flatulence -- hmmm.... should work - obesity -- that one can be milked for months on end and if it does not work for them we can point to their diets and slow grazing habits - schizophrenia - too controversial, let's stay away from the diseases - a pain in the butt - good one! That should work nicely, since there are a lot of those around - a pain in the neck - now you're talking! We're on a roll.
And now I'll take some suggestions/ideas from my readers. Only funny suggestions will be accepted.

Self and Other by Alan Watts
Now, the subject of this seminar is 'Self and Other,' and this is therefore to be an exploration into the subject that interests me most, which is the problem of personal identity, man's relationship to the universe, and all the things that are connected with that. It is, for our culture at this time in history an extremely urgent problem, because of our technological power. In known history, nobody has had such capacity for altering the universe than the people of the United States of America. And nobody has gone about it in such an aggressive way.
I think sometimes that the two symbols of our present kind of technological culture are the rocket ship and the bulldozer. The rocket as a very, very phallic symbol of compensation for the sexually inadequate male. And the bulldozer, which ruthlessly pushes down hills and forests and alters the shape of the landscape. These are two symbols of the negative aspect of our technology. I'm not going to take the position that technology is a mistake. I think that there could be a new kind of technology, using a new attitude. But the trouble is that a great deal of our power is wielded by men who I would call 'two o'clock types.'
Maybe you saw an article I wrote in "Playboy" magazine called "The Circle of Sex," and it suggested at least a dozen sexual types rather than two. And that the men who are two o'clock on the dial, like a clock, are men who are ambisexterous, named after Julius Ceasar, because Julius Ceasar was an ambisexterous man, and he equally made love to all his friend's wives and to his good-looking officers. And he had no sense of guilt about this at all. Now, that type of male in this culture has a terrible sense of guilt, that he might be homosexual, and is scared to death of being one, and therefore he has to overcompensate for his masculinity. And so he comes on as a police officer, Marine sergeant, bouncer, bookie, general--tough, cigar-chewing, real masculine type who is never able to form a relationship with a woman; they're just 'dames' as far as he's concerned. But he, just like an ace Air Force pilot puts a little mark on his plane each time he shoots down an enemy, so this kind of man, every time he makes a dame he chalks up one, because that reassures him that he is after all a male. And he's a terrible nuisance. The trouble is that the culture doesn't permit him to recognize and accept his ambisexterity. And so he's a trouble spot.
But that kind of spirit of knocking the world around is something that is causing serious danger here. It arises, you see, because this tremendous technological power has been evolved in a culture which inherits a sense of personality which is frankly a hallucination. And we get this sense of personality from a long, long tradition of Jewish and Christian and Greek ideas which have caused man to feel that the universe of nature - the physical world, in other words - is not himself. You may think that that is a very odd thing to say, because one always assumes that oneself is one's own body, or at least something inside one's body, like a soul. And that naturally, everything outside is not oneself. But this is, as I've said many, many times, a hallucination. Let's think, here we are in the middle of New York City. And you know what happens when New York City goes wrong. When there's a subway strike, or when the power fails, or when the sewers back up, your life is in danger. Because you are not only constituted by the bloodstream of your veins and the communications network of your nervous system. An extension of your bloodstream, and of your alimentary canal, and of your nervous system, is all the communication systems of this city.

PROGRAMME REVIEW: itsmyfranchise.com
This is one of the franchises of The Home Business Portal.
They are or were selling safelists to their franchisees. And according to at east one person none of them send out any e-mails. Well that was last year. By the way, Safelists don’t really work, as most folks just set up their folders in such a way as to just delete incoming e-mails.
I don't know about this year, but I would not join a program that failed it's members many times over the years.
So I would avoid this one.
June 27th (Friday)
Still a weak day for me. But, I do like the frequent naps. One every couple of hours.
This one is very interesting. The paintings are just exquisite. Sent to me by Ivan. It’s funny, Ivan has also been having the same symptoms the last three days as I.
June 26th (Thursday)
Sorry folks, have not felt well the last two days so I took a mini-vacation. I will have something for you tonight or tomorrow.
K. Russo just sent out this review:
GORILLA MILLIONS
Looks a lot like LawnChairMillionaire, one of the most deceptive program I have ever seen. When I received a spam invitation to join this one the subject said - "NEWEST PROGRAM! Just seconds ago". That is very interesting because at the site it indicates that over 33000 folks have already joined. How deceptive is that?!
js: the other one he mentions is WorldPassive/Dollars Monster which I believe is already dead. Cycle time is at 9 days and I doubt there is much interest in it.
June 24th (Tuesday)
It’s about a mad world. Ivan sent this to me. I have enjoyed it. So will you.
I just sent out an ALERT (224) detailing what I posted yesterday about WorldPassive/DollarMonster. News: They even reneged on paying me my $50 entry, after having said they would. So I have a loss of about $178 as that cycled twice (plus commissions). I hope they enjoy the candy they will buy with that.
After I posted about WorldPassive cheating me (closing my account based on one solitary email to a private reader) they issued the announcement below (partial), in an attempt to keep the money flowing in:
“> Earn EVEN MORE with DollarMonster - a Pay Raise! > > That's right, all DollarMonster Members just got a > pay raise - we had to adjust the compensation plan due > to the new daily maximum spend of $50 per members. > Log in to your World Passive Member Area and click on > "DollarMonster" to review your current status! > > http://members.worldpassive.com/login.php > > > Be Promoted to the Silver Level with only $500 of spends! > > Now DollarMonster Members can be promoted to the Silver > Membership Level for only $500 of spends - the spends > we're talking about include those of all your referrals! > > So if you want to get a 200% return on your spend instead > of only $175, like entry-level participants get, then > simply increase the volume of your spends (and/or those > of your referrals) to just $500 - that's not much, right?”
Do NOT buy into that! They are toast! Done! You will only lose your money.
June 23rd (Monday)
UPDATE: WorldPassive Cycler (DollarMonster)
Looks like a reader of mine ratted me out. I simply made a one line statement, and here it is: "Actually, new developments. Avoid DollarMonster, am about to publish that in my blog. So if your fifty cycles? Get it out and stay out." And looks like my "friend" sent that in to support. So they canceled my account and my payout of two cycles. Here are the details: (well am not sure who it was, but someone did and I don’t blame anyone in particular)
I originally bought a $50 position, that cycled, and then I put all of that back in and that cycled too. Then I made w/d request.
Guess what?
I just received an email saying they had shut down my account and are giving me my original $50 back. Why? I was in violation of their agreement. It says basically I would not do anything to harm their programme. Well, I did not. Check my blog. (I merely made one comment to a reader of mine that sent that in to support! Not as if I posted this all over the Internet! But now I have. And so should you!)
But, I did mention to one reader, in a private e-mail that I would not put any more money in that one as I thought it was about to fold (as most cyclers do, and this one did twice or thrice before). I guess that reader sent that one in to support.
So I replied to support and basically said they had better pay my cycled positions or I will make this into a story. And here the story is!
They have done the wrong thing. I have not said anything negative in my blog about their latest scheme. And now I am. They gave me the opportunity. It's not about the fifty bucks. I could care less. But that kind of treatment? Say anything negative about them and your account will be shut down? Sounds like desperation and totalitarianism. Sounds like a scam. Sounds like a poor decision by some flunky support person.
And scam it is! Spread the word. Spread this word far and wide so you cannot get cheated ever again by these three time failure goons! I sure am!
js
By the way: there was no real harm done by my post up above. Why? Because they were pretty nearly dead already. Too few members, not enough money, and they failed three times before. Plus it is summer. The absolute WRONG time to launch an opp such as this! Stupid or what? Stupid mostly. At this point I will not even likely get my fifty bucks back! But am laughing all the way! NOt at you. But with them! We’re all just having fun here, right? Until the next memory-wipe!
I was talking with Ivan via Skype and an interesting thing happened. He mentioned that "person" came from the French: personna. A mask. And that brought to my mind that a "person", in the USA, Canada, and Britain, is.... a mask. A mask for what? A "person" is a mask for a Corporation, because that is the Law. Admiralty Law. Of trade and commerce. Property of the State. So when your name is spelled in ALL CAPS you are agreeing (entering into a silent agreement) that you are responsible for all the taxes for that "person" or personna, or mask, or Corporation.
Do you understand?
Given the above.... here is more proof:
Ok, remember my talking to you about your name all being spelled IN CAPS? One of my readers finally found a youtube video of the guy that discusses all this in great detail. Now it may sound insane or far-fetched to you, but let me tell you that I was aware of this years ago! From several sources. So just watch the video. What else can you do about it? I don't know.
Well, hmmmm...... 6% per day? 180% per month? While ForEx gives you 10% a month ROI? And these guys give you more than 18 times that? And their language is not quite English? Meaning grammar.
And Pee fund? Oops, sorry, PE Fund. What a name!
And look at these ridiculous plans:
"108.7% after 1 day. Total received 108.7%. Deposit amount $10 - $200
6% daily for 50 days. Total received 300%. Deposit amount $1 - $100.
7% daily for 50 days. Total received 350%. Deposit amount $101 - $500. 8% daily for 50 days.
Total received 400%. Deposit amount $501 - no limit
130% after for 5 days . Total received 130%. Deposit amount $5 - $500.
155% after for 10 days Total received 155%. Deposit amount $501 - $1000.
180% after for 10 days. Total received 180%. Deposit amount $1001 - no limit. "
Nice eh? If it were true! STAY AWAY or... LOSE YOUR MONEY!
Now, for some technical stuff. The guy is registered in Buffalo, New York, but has his server in Denmark! Amsterdam! (The red zone? Haha! Not sure).
Now why would an above board programme have their server in Amsterdam when they themselves are in Buffalo New York?
Ok, based on the plans, and locations, am going to say..... this is a SCAM! And am a blogger and reviewer and this is MY opinion.

By now you must have received one or more e-mails of this nature: basically they want you to process some payments for them, presumably because some countries don’t accept paypal for instance. So... they will send you the money via paypal, and you go to the nearest Western Union kiosk (and they are everywhere) and make the payment. Of course you get to keep 10%. Most will say that you will be able to earn $2000 per month or more. Enticing?
Well, it’s called Money Laundering! If not, at best, it is illegal. So DO NOT DO IT! I’ve received many such offers myself and saw through them.
PROGRAMME REVIEW: World Wide Loan Club
This one gives you monthly loan payments after you have qualified with $100 in STP and just two referrals.
I suggest that after you have your two referrals, if you do get more, that you pass them on to your two referrals to help those out. In this case, if you do advertise, ask folks NOT to sign up under your link (in fact, don't give it out) and get them to e-mail you. You can then pass the prospects on to your two. But you NEED NOT refer more than two.
So for instance the link would look like mailto:support@9planetreviews.com?Subject=joinWWLC (in fact use this link and I will help each of you after I get my two). DO NOT DO IT!
If you don't understand how this one works simply get on the Tuesday and Thursday night calls at 9:30 EST at phone #: (218)-936-7999 Enter PIN#412502 (do not do it)
If you are not able to then there are recorded calls at (218)-936-7903 and enter PIN#717200
Some dislikes:
From their FAQs page:
Q. What happens if I no longer want a loan? Do I have to pay back what I have received? A. Yes. For example, if a person receives loans from Worldwide Loan Club for three years and then quits the program, they would have received $114,730 USD for that one account. The amount that that person paid back over that term is $54,369.56 USD, which includes principal and interest. An arrangement would then be made for the customer to pay back the balance, or the customer could simply re-enroll to continue receiving loans.
First off, how would they enforce my paying back the balance? Or re-enroll for the $100 service fee? Who would not?
You should read the FAQs carefully at the site so you know what you're getting into.
For instance, you DO need to maintain two active members below you. If one or both quit, for some odd reason you have to find two new ones. As well, if you quit the programme you will have to replay the balance (they you would have made only a few bucks). In the FAQs they do say that you may run with the money, basically, but ask you not to.
But there is no reason for you to ever quit the program as you will always be in profit.
I searched the 'net to see if anyone is saying this one is a scam but finally gave up. If you find any dirt on these folks then send me an e-mail.
Ok, two days later: still cannot find an email contact to them. Plus they are acting like a lending institution, but am sure they are not legal. So... seems too good to be true and probably is. So I would recommend you NOT join this one.
Unless I hear from them. Maybe someone has contact with them.

Sorry, was kind of ill yesterday. I’ll have some updates for you this afternoon.
Updates:
WorldPassive DollarMonster: looks like it is working just fine. I've cycle one position already and re-entered the entire amount for another position. The current amount of days to cycle is 4. Don't risk too much! But it is worth getting some bucks cycling.
PROGRAMME REVIEW: World Wide Loan Club - I can’t post this as yet as am not done with the review and I need to contact them on a point or two (but do not have an e-mail address). And you can’t sign up yet as they are temporarily down.
