Dishoenst companies advertise fraudulent products

Of late, a number of dishonest companies are coming up in India. They are using the electronic media, and at times print media too, to advertise their products which are mostly questionable in nature.

There are a number of products for weight loss, some to cure impotency and some others to give protection from evils. However, the number one dishonest company in the weight reduction sector, Herbalife never advertises but spreading like water under a carpet.

In fact, as per the law of the land, none of these products should be advertised in any media, be it electronic or print. They are banned from advertising under the provisions of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954. The Act clearly bans advertisements regarding 54 ailments including obesity. Recent amendments to the Act included two more ailments -- AIDS and Asthma.

A number of dishonest companies do not care for the law of the land and continue to advertise their fraudulent products in the electronic and print media.

For instance, Kerala-based Kunnath Pharmaceuticals advertises its product X-Tra Power Musli which they claim would treat the impotency among men and surprisingly women too. Vijayawada-based Consumers' Guidance Society has already filed a criminal case against that company. They moved the Andhra Pradesh High Court and obtained stay order.

Another multinational company France Vitas advertises in the print media that its product is useful to shed extra flab. It boasts that people need not starve themselves and they could eat whatever amount and whatever variety they want. Still, their product could help them to lose weight. Actually, the product they are offering pineapple extract to shed extra flab.

All these products are prohibitively costly and the efficiency of these products is doubtful.

For instance, Kunnath Pharma claims that the success rate for curing impotency with X-Tra Power Musli is around 76 per cent. IF anybody complains that the Musli is not useful, the company would say that they are in the unfortunate 24 per cent lot.

There are some other products which fall under the Magic Remedies section of the Act. Several products like 'Raksha Kavacham' with the symbol of Lord Hanuman (the monkey god) and other gods to drive away evil, and some other products with semi precious stones to bring luck. The sellers of these lucky stones claim that the purchasers would become millionaires with the help of these stones.

The Government Drug Department is supposed to file criminal cases against such companies under this Act. But reasons better known to everyone, they turn a Nelson's eye letting these dishonest companies go scot free. In fact, the Drug Department has become so corrupt that they seldom file criminal cases against such companies.

Tex stubbornly denies Amway bosses' role in racketeering

Shyam,

Again, it must be interesting for your free-thinking readers to observe the systematic functioning of Mr. Scott 'Tex' Johnson's castrated 'Amway' mind, manifest in his chronic incapacity to read (let alone comprehend) plain, unambiguous English - when this confronts him with ego-destroying, external reality.

Unfortunately for Mr. Johnson, more than half a century of shameful evidence proves (beyond all reasonable doubt) that the so-called 'Amway Business Opportunity' has been the front for a premeditated closed-market swindle - an unviable system of economic exchange maliciously set up (and centrally-controlled from Michigan in the USA) so as to produce insufficient external revenue to pay the overwhelming majority of its contributing-participants an overall profit.

To date, this particularly-callous, false beacon of hope has lured many millions of unwitting individuals around the world (including Mr. Johnson himself and my own brother in the UK) into a position of financial, and/or physical, and/or psychological, vulnerability which has facilitated their falling victim to an even more pernicious and profitable, secondary, advanced fee fraud.

Despite them acknowledging 'problems' decades ago (and unless compelled to do so by the threat of rigorous investigation), the billionaire bosses of 'Amway' (comprising senior members of the De Vos and Van Andel clans) have done (effectively) nothing to make the unviable, closed-system of economic exchange (which they set up and still control) viable, or to prevent the secondary advanced fee fraud from continuing. Moreover, the 'Amway' bosses have gone to the most extraordinary lengths to hide the shameful evidence of their crimes, including operating their own 'obligatory' system of 'dispute resolution' and corrupting the US (and other) administration(s). However, given the wider evidence, it doesn't take a genius to work out that the bosses of 'Amway' are classic, cultic racketeers who have created a typically-mystifying labyrinth of corporate structures pursuing lawful, and/or unlawful, activities in order to prevent, and/or divert, investigation and isolate themselves from liability.

Unlike the billionaire 'Amway' bosses and their squawking Internet apologist, Lord Haw Haw Steadon, Mr. 'Tex' Johnson cannot deny the existence of countless destitute, divorced, dissociated and even dead victims littering the rocky route to the promised 'Amway' Utopia. Instead, Johnson clings to the absurd, but nonetheless dangerous, beliefs that the billionaire 'Amway' bosses are not responsible for all this human wreckage and that the so-called 'Amway Business Opportunity' is an authentic beacon of hope. Frighteningly, amongst the vile little gang of apologists of the false 'Nazi' beacon of hope, there are those who, in the face of a mountain of quantifiable evidence, steadfastly deny the existence, and/or scale, of the Holocaust and there are those who acknowledge its existence, but who steadfastly deny the 'Supreme Leaders' responsibility.

All Amway adherents indulge in illegal money circulation scheme

Shyam,

In my previous post, I described 'MLM' companies as false beacons luring the unwary into dangerous financial waters where certain, vulnerable individuals have become so desperate: that they have quite literally handed over everything to save themselves from drowning, but they have drowned all the same. I made this striking analogy, in order to demonstrate the untenable positions of your 3 resident 'Amway' apologists.

When looked at in isolation, the 'Amway' beacon appears to be more absurd than dangerous. Indeed, most casual observers find it difficult to believe that anyone (in their right mind) can still be bedazzled by it.

That said, each time 'Amway' has been investigated in the past, all active so-called 'Independent Business Owners' were found to be merely tied-customers of 'Amway' products. In the adult world of quantifiable reality, these people were contributing a fixed-sum of money each month in the deluded belief that if they exactly duplicated a 'Proven Plan' and recruited their friends and relations to do the same, they would be 'able to retire in 2-5 years.' Ignoring 'Amway's' own thought-stopping terminology and statistical misrepresentations of reality, 50 years of quantifiable evidence proves all active 'Amway' adherents to have been (unwitting) participants in an economically-unviable and, therefore, illegal money circulation scheme camouflaged by economic pseudo-science and banal, but outrageously over-priced, wampum.

Amway beaming false MLM beacon

Shyam

I thought that it might be helpful to use a historical analogy to explain exactly how the 'Amway' organization functions and to show just how dangerous, and obstructive, the sinister contributions of your resident 'Amway' apologists really are.

I don't know about India, Shyam, but in Britain, for centuries, one of the most evil and profitable crimes was known as 'wrecking.' This comprised lighting a bright fire on the coast during time of heavy storms to deceive ship captains into believing they could follow the light and find salvation. Unfortunately, the wrecking gang-masters didn't have the slightest concern for their fellow man. They maliciously positioned their false beacons not to guide ships into a safe haven, but so that they would become grounded, and/or smashed, on rocks. Whatever valuable cargo survived the wreck, could then be taken and any surviving crew members bludgeoned to death. Wrecking was prevalent around the coast of Britain, until a chain of authentic lighthouses was constructed and the igniting of any other deceptive beacon was absolutely forbidden.

'Multilevel Marketing' can be described as a form of latter-day wrecking, in that the bosses of criminogenic organizations like 'Amway' have been allowed to maintain false beacons maliciously positioned not to guide hard-pressed individuals into a safe haven, but so that they would become grounded, and/or smashed, on the financial rocks. The more danger these people found themselves in: the more likely they became to hand over everything they possessed in order to receive what they were assured would be future salvation.

In reality, during more than half a century, tens of millions of individuals around the world, have been deceived into following the false, but nonetheless bright, 'MLM' beacon. An unknown number of victims have been robbed of everything and left to drown. The really sinister aspect of criminogenic organizations like 'Amway', is that the gang of sanctimonious billionaires who maintain the false 'MLM' beacon (in front of the financial rocks) and the gang of equally-sanctimonious millionaires who peddle its doomed victims 'future salvation,' have registered their joint-activities behind separate corporate fronts. To date, American civil authorities, like the US Federal Trade Commission, have not examined the overall picture. However, civil investigators and lawyers are not specialists in organized crime.

Tex incapable of reading unambiguous English

Shyam
It must be interesting for your free-thinking readers to observe how the intellectually-castrated 'Amway' apologist, Mr. Scott 'Tex' Johnson, is incapable of reading and digesting even the most plain, unambiguous English.
In a previous post I stated that Mr. Johnson freely-admits that he was the victim of an 'Amway'-related advanced fee fraud for 12 years. I then went on to state that Mr. Johnson has yet to find the courage to admit that, for 17 years, he has been both the (unwitting) perpetrator and (unwitting) victim of a self-perpetuating esoteric deception, maliciously designed to be beyond the understanding of the average person. Mr. Johnson's less-than-average reaction to my qualified statement was to retreat into one of his most puerile and abusive temper-tantrums.
Sadly, Mr. Johnson's adolescent-style ego obstructs his higher intellectual faculties from reading (let alone comprehending) the accurate, fully-deconstructed explanation of how the 'Amway' organization conforms to a known criminogenic pattern - in that its instigator/leaders have secretly created a paramilitary hierarchical structure of de facto agents to perpetrate (often unwittingly) a series of inter-related crimes behind a mystifying labyrinth of (apparently independent) corporate structures which the instigator/leaders maliciously set up in order to prevent, and/or divert, investigation and isolate themselves from liability.
America's foremost, living authority on this type of major organized crime group is Prof. G. Robert Blakey (author of the US federal RICO 'anti-racketeering' Act, 1970), who was contracted by the Proctor and Gamble corporation (which was in litigation with 'Amway') to take a look at 'Amway' and to offer his educated opinion. Blakey looked at the wider evidence, and immediately recognised the underlying similarities between 'Amway' and the 'Mafia'. He realized that virtually no low-level, de facto agent of the 'Amway' organization had the slightest idea of how they were being abused and exploited; to the extent that, if they were called as witnesses in civil court cases, their near-total ignorance of external reality protected the organization's real bosses from being held to account.
Scott Johnson remains a perfect example of Prof. Blakey's expert analysis (with which I am in broad aggreement). No doubt, Mr. Johnson will still prefer to shut the door in the face of reality. However, he will probably refrain from treating your free-thinking readers to his own 'expert analysis' of Prof. Blakey as a 'Retard' and 'Dumbass,' for fear of litigation.

Tupperware fellow claims that they are different from Amway

The other day I visited a stall of Tupperware in a general exhibition. The man in charge of the stall said that the Tupperware products are superior in quality. I enquired whether the scheme is still available. He said that anybody could purchase products and if anybody wants they could join the scheme also. When asked whether the scheme is like Amway scheme, he said that their scheme is not like Amway. "We have no targets and no compulsions to purchase or sell products like Amway. Our scheme is very flexible, you know!" he said.

In essence, this man wants to dissociate himself with Amway's business model as Amway adherents wanted to dissociate themselves with GoldQuest International once criminal cases were filed against that company. Amway apologists coolly then said that there was no comparison between Amway India and GoldQuest International.

What people have to surmise is all these crooks are out there to loot them. My fellow humans all over world! Keep your eyes open and look before you leap into such fradulent schemes.

Clueless Tex refuses to face the ugly truth

Shyam
No free-thinking individual (with access to the full-facts and an accurate analysis of them) can seriously refute that during more than half a century, tens of millions of unsuspecting individuals around the world have been churned through 'Amway's' closed-market swindle and allied advanced fee frauds. However, during this period the 'Amway' Ministry of Truth has continued to repress all dissent and to hide the real picture by relentlessly spewing forth the same poisonous propaganda - 'Amway Products' represent such 'Good Value' that 'Millions of Independent Amway Business Owners' are conducting 'Billions of Dollars of Sales.'
Meanwhile, in the adult world of quantifiable reality, virtually no 'Amway' products have ever been sold to persons who are not agents of the organization, whilst the hidden, overall, attrition/failure-rate in the so-called 'Amway Business Opportunity' has been (effectively) 100% and an unknown number of persons have become so loaded with debt, and guilt, that they have committed suicide.
We have here on your Blog, Shyam, a sad little band of three intellectually-castrated 'Amway' apologists. One of whom, Scott Johnson, paradoxically admits that he has been the victim of an 'Amway'-related advanced fee fraud for 12 years (although he insists on using the rather misleading term 'tool scam') and that, despite persisting for 17 years in total, he's never made a dime of overall profit out of his so-called 'Amway Business'.
Interestingly, Johnson has yet to find the courage to admit that he was both (unwitting) perpetrator and (unwitting) victim of a self-perpetuating, esoteric deception which was maliciously designed to be beyond the understanding of the average person. Instead, he claims to have worked out how the 'tool scam' functions and to have approached law enforcement agencies and the media with complaint about 'Amway's' millionaire under-bosses (whom he refers to as 'LCKs' 'Lying Cowardly Kingpins'). However, imagine the reaction of law enforcement agents and journalists when they discovered that (after 12 years of being defrauded) Johnson not only remained under contract to 'Amway,' but that he energetically continued to promote the central organization and to defend its billionaire bosses by relentlessly regurgitating their own poisonous propaganda.
Despite decades of quantifiable evidence (including 17 years of his own dismal accounts) proving 'Amway' to be the corporate front for an ongoing major organized crime group (the bosses of which have followed a pattern of racketeering activity as defined in the US by the RICO Act of 1970), Johnson arrogantly still refuses to face up to the ugly truth - incessantly repeating that he knows everything and we 'haven't got a clue.' However, the fellow is a classic, cult core-adherent, in that he steadfastly claims to be absolutely righteous even when all the quantifiable evidence proves his behaviour to be (at best) misguided, or (at worst) downright evil. Although he is demonstrably dissociated from external reality, Johnson remains certain that he alone represents the truth and he acts accordingly.
