Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

Over the past few weeks while doing research of Amway related topics on the web, I noticed how many Quixtar/Amway people rationalize their participation in what most know to be a dirty business. One theme I have read several times is "they like the products." Many say they do not mind paying premium for quality products and have them delivered to their door. They claim that it saves time shopping and so forth blah, blah, blah. I really wonder if they truly believe this? The majority of those that quit the business report they stop buying and using the products. Were they truly loyal to the products or to the plan they believed had the pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow? Most, the smart ones, drop out and switch back to buying from brick and mortar stores; goodbye Quixtar, hello Walmart, Target, K-Mart, Rite-Aid, and so forth. Could Quixtar's outlandish prices be the cause of such wide spread product disloyalty? Just something for those self consuming "distributors" to think about while they are paying out the snout for their monthly quota (PV) of mostly ordinary "core" products just to squeeze a miserly bonus check from Quixtar.

Quixtar IBOs (Independent Business Owners--what a joke) remind me of the ostrich bird. To protect their delusion of riches, they plant their head firmly in a hole. They are taught to avoid and reject the "negative" as they call it. They reject all the empirical evidence and truth. They become a See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil monkey about their beloved Quixtar dream. They learn not to say anything negative about the business to their up line boss or face rebuke. Members of these pernicious business cults become closed minded to anyone or anything that does not fit into their dreamy world of riches emulated by those elite distributors they worship at the top of the food chain. Worship of the upline enslave the vulnerable minded to years of victimization in which they are simultaneously victim and victimizer.

The number one enemy of Quixtar and any other cult is the proliferation of information--especially on the Internet. Close minded people are more easily controlled and manipulated. Critical thinking is not one of the long suits of cult mentality. The wise see through the manipulation and decline these get rich quick schemes. For cults to succeed they must create their own world of deceit in the minds of their cult members. The founders created for their business cult the "Land of Will" and the faithful devote tremendous amounts of time, energy, and money to pursue it. Quixtar becomes a religion which replaces former belief. Money is rained down on worshipers at candle light events where the rich are worshiped on stage.

Only after years of enriching masters on high, will exhaustion, financial loss, and distress of the struggle force most to conclude that their dream has become nightmare. They may stop listening to the tapes and the cult masters (as Eric Scheibler did) and see the light of truth that the cult brainwashed them to reject. It's Quixtar Intervention now or Quixtar Intervention later. I say it is better now than later.

Youtube videos have been a real source of distress to the Amway executives in Michigan. One such video features a very amusing Hooded Angry Man (H.A.M.) who supposedly reveals proprietary Amway secrets. This and several other videos critical of Quixtar caused Amway to turn their pit bull law dogs loose on this unknown rag tag group of video bloggers for supposedly violating a restraining order between themselves and the TEAM rebels--former disgruntled distributors. Amway's impossible effort to silence web critics remind me of the little dutch boy attempting to plug a badly leaking dike with his finger. I can visualize the IBO rebels tilting at the Quixtar windmill.

I was reading Scoobie Davis's web site last evening. (See link at the bottom of this page). He has posted the "Real Amway" blog as a subsection of his main blog. I strongly recommend him to readers of this blog. He writes in a style that I can truly admire. He pulls the cover off of these Quixtar weasels and the decline of their U.S. business. In one post, he condemns the democrats for their timidity in taking issue with Amways long history of extracting money. After all, Amway, Dick Devos has been one of the largest contributors to the Republican party and political lackeys in an "I'll scrub your back if you scrub mine" relationship that has kept Amway/Quixtar afloat on their sea of exploited people. When you consider Hillary's remarks at a recent debate where she accused Obama of working for a lowly slum lord in Chicago. Hillary: "what about the scam lord Dick Devos and his cronies in Ada, Michigan?

I am posting two contrasting videos below. The first is a serious promotional video from Quixtar extolling the great Land of Will I spoke of earlier in this post. It highlights the type of propaganda that issues from the minds of cult motivational kingpins. The second video is a satirical parody of the same video using some clips from Dateline's 1994 expose Quixtar which is also at the bottom of this page.
