It all started when some plug-ins I was using in order to make WordPress actually do SEO – these conflicted and set up some sort of loop which was crashing the server. So they very nearly kicked me off.

Then I said, hey – all this stuff about Burt Goldman and his Quantum Jumping product is fine, but it’s not my main line of work. Let me see if I can just move this over to another wordpress host and redirect the traffic there.

Now it worked fine the first day – but by the second, wordpress.com had put in some sort of cancelling script which redirected everything to the front page. A simple work around was to take my most popular Burt Goldman scam post and put it up as the front page.

But the damage was done. My traffic went to nothing, since Google also then figured that these links weren’t worth anything and so I quit getting but maybe a fifth of my daily traffic before.

By the third day, I simply cancelled the re-direct and sent traffic back to my original site.

Nice failed experiment.

At the core of it was the problem that internal links in wordpress are not relative. They are exact. So all my internal links went back to robertworstell.com and so were redirected to the same page on wordpress.com – which put an interesting load on wordpress’s servers and probably looked like some sort of spammer routine.

Bottom line: WordPress is good for newbies, but sucks at SEO, so don’t use it professionally.

Here’s the line-up to get a non-scam set-up:

1. Get a custom-made CMS for your main backend. Don’t use anyone else’s “site builder” – they all suck. In order to make them user-friendly, they have compromises built in.
2. Use separate, remote blogs to drive traffic to your main site. Keep your main site as static as possible, only tweaking the landing pages to improve sales. Update your main site with a Press Release at least once a month.
3. Backlinks are best done in :
   - articles
   - comments
   - videos
   - scribd.com – type doc storage sites
   - archive.org podcasts
   - press releases

You don’t have to go out and get some Internet Marketing Training in order to learn how to do this. If you simply invest the same amount of dedicated time you’d spend with their (failed) site-builders in order to create your online business, you will get the same data without that expense.

What these “online marketing coaches’” really do is use you as their income stream as long as you can keep up your credit card payments.

What you really want to do is to not sign up for services, but rather just buy a finite product which you can return if you don’t like it – Like Burt Goldman’s Quantum Jumping or his Mind Box product.

Although I am too tempted to pile all the massive “bonuses” I have downloaded on my machine into CD’s and then offer them for cheap on the Internet – just so people can see how stupid this stuff really is.

Of course, they’d also get a copy of my “Online Sunshine Plan” and also “Get Your Self Scam Free” in order to weed out the nonsense from what actually works.

But as I’m still learning what does and doesn’t work myself – I thought to give you a heads up.

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

This video presentation allows you to find out where you are at as a member of humankind. Controversial, shocking, and perhaps just containing outright lies – there is still a discussion to be had.

If you’ve ever been scammed, you’ll want to see this. If you consider that management and owners conspire against you – then read on. If you consider that quantum realities are obvious, then don’t bother…

This is a way to help you improve your life. Hopefully, the infotainment here will be worth it – otherwise, there are still greater wastes of time on the Internet…

- – - -

And the notes version is available via Slideshare:

I hope to come out with some application which allows you to rate your government officials or other celebrities on this scale. Of course your comments will be very valuable, particularly if you want to elect a certain someone for permanent fame in one category or another on this site…

(And of course, this video and presentation are not approved by Burt Goldman or his Quantum Jumping marketers. I just think his approach is cool. )

Good Luck – and Have Fun.

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

Scientology is a storm that tries men (and women)’s souls.

As you probably know by now, I judge my own truths through the oldest philosophy I’ve been able to find – Huna.

And anyone who’s followed Huna will tell you that there is no one school, no one teacher. But they do agree on basic principles and traditions. Just not how they are interpreted. All the Kahuna’s I’ve found (the ones who publish to the Western world) leave that  up to the individual.

My other comparative is Levenson. His followers are similar in that regard. Levenson found a series of truths which eventually restored his own personal Freedom and a real “peace that passed all understanding.”

And it’s that singular peace – which I’ve had my own moments of satori – that lead me to leave Scientology.

I left – even though I had worked internally to correct and improve the organization for decades – because the organization became flawed from top to bottom. It no longer upheld the basic tenets of Hubbard’s teachings to be sacrosanct.

Now I left nearly a decade ago, and have worked to stay on amicable terms with the individuals in it. I have no need to take any further services, but have no quarrel with anyone still within the organization itself.  I still value every single day I invested in that subject, and I spend a long 20-plus years at it. Dedicated.

So I’m no witness to what Rathbun, Rinder, and others are saying about the current “management crimes”.

I also wish no one ill who chooses to follow Scientology within or outside that organization.

For anyone resolutely within it, Scientology does work. For those of us outside it – not so much. For it’s a very narrow set of parameters which have to be kept in order to keep working.

After I departed L. A. and my long career helping others, I set out to see what it was I needed to know in order to verify Scientology itself. I left with a rental truck full of heavy books and tape transcripts and a couple of their emeters. One of the first things I did was to get an Internet access that would give me all the data I needed. I also had to get a job and work in the real world. For all those years on Scientology staff, I had no pension, no benefits, no savings.

That combination of real-world work and Internet access became a crucible where all Hubbard wrote was tested.

Unfortunately, it failed that test.

I found that a) Hubbard was very human. b) the corporate structure was flawed in its basic set up. c) that there exists in humankind a very wide propensity to be scammed, duped, and deluded.

But as well, d) it is possible for anyone and everyone to seek and achieve their own enlightenment.

So I don’t hold that being an “Independent Scientologist” will work. Simply because it is very difficult to maintain those tight parameters so that the practice can be done. It was the corporate structure which maintained those thin, high walls which could not be crossed. And that corporation still tries to do so, today.

Those who leave Scientology-the-corporation are those who went out on the Internet and found out for themselves what the real world consists of. Or at least a very different version than the one they had been told all this time. But in comparing notes with each other, these public Scientologists are finding that they all had the same deep-rooted suspicions. (Leaving staff – a much more tightly-controlled scene – has always been where a person runs into a series of situations which radically departed from basic deeply-held personal beliefs. Both can’t be true. And they give up the one which has the weakest proof.)

Management, for years, has told staff and public a very polished version of their “truth”. And, with these high-level defections recently, the man behind the curtain has been exposed as the humbug he has always been. That man is both Miscavidge and Hubbard.

I will not rain on anyone else’s parade, however. People are free to think as they will. Believe as they will. And people have ego’s which get in their way from time to time. So you won’t find me dissing someone’s personal beliefs. That being said, I don’t expect that I won’t have to defend my own by those who are hyper-critical and ghost-ridden about their own.

What you see I write here is my own continuing resolution of the world around me, and my memories of it.

Because I know for myself how you can get all the self-esteem you want without having to tear someone else down to get it. I know that the peace of mind you have is due to the peace of mind you help others find.

So tolerance and forgiveness play a huge part in my own ideas and beliefs.

I only hope to share these with others who have encountered Scientology to any and all degrees.

- – - -

This other datum rings true, at least for me: Scientology creates its own enemies. In its policies is that one line, that the organizations are not subject to external pressures as much as internal ones. If the current management feels haunted, then it might seek to find what actions it has taken to bring that “motivator” on itself… Humility is the heart of Review, it is said.

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

Turns out Pres. Obama was “monitoring” the situation from “Day One” with “regular briefings” and “meetings” all during his day.

I bet that just thrills all those Gulf fishermen and women who lost their livelihood to BP’s disaster.

Unfortunately, this was as pinned down as it got during today’s briefing (which he was forced to accede to.)

Obama (not unlike other government agencies) considers that he is “in charge” of the situation by holding MEETINGS.  And sending down people to investigate so they can “hold the boot on BP’s neck”, but question the metaphor as they do so.

Let’s have more meetings. Let’s cancel future oil projects. Let’s revise regulations. Oh, and we’ll need more “bipartisan cooperation” to get more laws passed, which will require — more meetings.

Take just half the suggestions that Carville said yesterday and implement them. How about those supertankers sucking up all that goo?!? In 30 days, I imagine you can get them about half-way around the planet by sea – though that’s just a guesstimate (Update: See above Esquire article: “…with the right calls, tankers could be on the scene in 2 days”. )  Not like BP doesn’t have any supertankers nearby which could be quickly commandeered for this. But heck, the Army Corps of Engineers can’t even approve a sand levee – much less sending the military in to handle a disaster and commandeer some vessels…

No – - it’s “I’m responsible” and “let’s have another meeting and more briefings…”

And, of course, this is before he goes on his second vacation since the Gulf Rig blew up. (While not laying a wreath on Memorial Day. Hope  his golf game goes well.)

Business as usual at the White House.

Heckava Job, Barry…

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

(Preamble: the below are my comments and conclusions on my own personal understanding of Scientology. For those who are happy and succeeding with your practice of that belief-system: carry on. This post isn’t for you. But those who have any doubts may find some data below to support your suspicions…)

Recently I dragged myself, nearly kicking and screaming, back into the world of Scientology and it’s books. I watched and listened to the current corporate head delivering his stylized version of how they “uncovered errors to restore the basic books to their original intended version” – all just because some well-meaning staffer sent me a package of them.

There were two differences I noticed from when I was an active Scientologist a decade ago. One was that there was now only the Miscavidge Way. No other execs were on the stage or presenting anything. Second - these confirmed why I quit believing that Hubbard only spoke sooth long ago.

I was watching a person who had taken over all control of Scientology-the-Corporation, telling this adoring, almost enraptured audience that now they could re-read and study the “Master’s” words in a correct sequence without any errors. Never mind that they read them several times before – here we go again.

Hubbard was definitely prolific, and researched a wide range of materials. The premise for all this work was that there was a unifying theme behind it.

Unfortunately for me, I got onto the Internet right after leaving staff. I didn’t avoid this stuff like the plague as active Scientologists are told to do. Because I had built their first corporate websites – all 30-some thousand pages in several languages. So I knew what you could find on the web, all that information.

The information I found on Hubbard was remarkable. Not to you, but to those of us who had been instilled with the idea that he was some sort of super-being who had left some sort of indelible bread-crumb trail we only had to walk to eventually get up to the high state where we could touch his robe.

First datum I found: Hubbard was very human. Had multiple wives, and at one point was a bigamist. In fact, he took his first daughter (who you never heard much about) to Cuba in order to write his “Science of Survival” book – mostly to hide from wife No. 2 while he had his lawyers cool her off enough to get out from under that marriage. Or that’s the corroborated version I found.

Second datum: Hubbard was far from infallible. And he had created a messy scene through his directions through his corporate bodies. As he continued, the lawsuits mounted, based on no more than simple mistreatment of people who worked for him and the laws they broke to carry out his instructions. Finally, he hid out at a ranch and turned over control to others so that he could get out from under various law suits. And died under mysterious circumstances, having drugs in his bloodstream which has been designed and used by the very psychiatrists he hated and maligned.

Third datum: He left no “Upper Bridge” of courses and materials. All of the materials they say is “Secret” is too easily found on the Internet. And the people who are left standing have no clue how to compile those remaining “upper levels” from the supposed rooms of file cabinets full of notes. So the remaining loyal Scientologists who still follow the “closely taped path” are now dead-ended. Hubbard didn’t do it and didn’t let (or admit) anyone else (could).

In short, what Hubbard produced as results were now questionable. However, this is not just an ad hominem attack. (I cover more of this below, particularly in the update.)

When I started looking up the materials which he so often denigrated, I found that what he had thrown away was often more valuable than what he had extracted. Yoga was one. Another was Christianity, and still another, Buddhism. Then there were Hindu texts. People were actually getting enlightened throughout history on each and every one of these paths. And yet Hubbard proclaimed them all to be “dead-ends.”

Other materials he simply declared “suppressive” were also useful, such as Lester Levenson’s Sedona Method (release technique). While Hubbard’s Dianetics and Scientology were both found to fail university studies, Levenson’s work (and also the similarly-declared Silva Method) were proved valid in helping people to improve conditions through repeated university studies and even independent peer-reviewed research.

(And to those loyal corporate-cult followers reading this, yes, I’m one of your open-minded “squirrels”.)

Along this line, I had gone to find out if there was any possible natural system at work below all self-help and improvement. This would then either support or disprove the methods Hubbard (or any other self-help guru) recommended. I found out that there does exist a natural system of improvement. Many, many, many authors have found the bulk of this. And this system is also found in every single major religion’s texts (if not in their practices) as long as you take them back to their original versions. And what is workable within Scientology is also based on that natural system.

When these studies showed Hubbard went out of his way to diss and degrade all these religions and belief-systems just in order to prop up his own, it began to get a bit strained. As all of these other belief-systems also proved improved conditions, if not creating bona-fide miracles, they were in need of study, not criticism.

(Hubbard also had many, many people studying his own life and reporting on what they found. And the Internet also delivered these. If you only take the commonalities of these reports, you’ll see a very different picture from what was routinely presented at all the various events we staff had to attend over the years.)

What I’ve uncovered from all this independent study and research is a way of achieving enlightenment which is possible in just one month of dedicated work. This is what Lester Levenson said was possible. He himself made the state in 3 months, but with the techniques he refined, said he could have done it in a month if he had those techniques available when he started. (But you can also be critical of Levenson if you choose…)

Levenson himself said that Scientology was a huge advance, that auditing could do overnight what a psychiatrist would take months. However, he also stated that they would take at least an entire lifetime to achieve what someone trained in Sedona Method could do in months – or a single month.

There are other additional techniques a person could include in Sedona Method to even speed this up.

The point of all that is to tell that Scientology has no “monopoly on the human mind”.

And the highly touted “Standard Tech” (see update below) is actually a strait-jacket in a padded cell, far from a “route to total freedom.” The only people finding increasing freedom in their lives are those who have left this subject and have studied either outside that remaining corporate structure – or took up other, more basic materials.

So what are we then left with? Declining membership, beautiful-but-empty buildings, increasing tales of physical abuse from management and rising numbers of veteran and formerly life-long dedicated staff leaving (such as myself).

The corporate side of this organization is imploding at a mad rate. But the technical end of it isn’t so supportive, either. At the time I left, I had been to their top-level Flag for their “training” and found that not only were they not doing what Hubbard had said to do with their “Training Routines” and Metering courses, but were also using politics to silence those who were reporting the alterations. Being “audited” later by one of their graduates also showed me personally how they couldn’t get results despite their “Golden Age of Tech”. Meanwhile, I had also seen that the policies Hubbard had laid down years (even decades) earlier weren’t being followed, even though known. And I had evidence of this being true even from those who worked directly under Miscavidge.

Essentially, for at least a decade, corporate Scientology has been “off-Source” in their three prized areas of “Ethics, Tech, and Admin”. And now, it is showing in the numbers of books by abused staff available through Amazon.

Now, this isn’t to say there isn’t a great deal of material inside these writings and recordings that can and does help people. The problem is that it’s interspersed with some very destructive corporate policies and close-minded denigrations which keep people from looking for themselves.

To my mind, the whole subject went irreversibly down the tubes with the 1969 issue of “Keeping Scientology Working”, where Hubbard denied anyone else’s actual assistance in “discovering” Scientology. He doesn’t mention his own wide borrowing of materials from other faiths and authors. And so denied the giants whose shoulders he stood on to see further (per Isaac Newton). And creating the Sea Org just made the whole thing worse – and their “Flag Orders” have been used to justify Miscavidge’s rise to current “power”.

But I’m not here to do other than give a summary of what I found.

For I long ago found there was no profit in dealing with Scientology. There is closure by writing what you find for yourself. And I’ve worked for this decade after leaving that corporate cult to find and write up my own path of how I got this closure and moved on. It helped that I cut all ties and returned all their mail, but none of their phone messages. There are a very small handful of people I talk to infrequently, who knew me from before. I keep up on matters (when I get idly curious) by watching the Internet – but mostly Scientology is a huge distraction to any spiritual progress I could make.

Others will have their own opinions. And those who are still getting gains within Scientology, whether at a corporate-approved organization, or in the field – keep going for all it’s worth. Get all the gains you can. And know that if you do leave corporate Scientology at any point, these gains leave with you. No one can ever, ever take these away from you.

I am only telling you that there will never be any additional OT levels released. OT VIII was the last – and it was in fragments. Where you see these “OT’s” now leaving the corporate fold, realize that they do not leave any stable gain behind when they do. Only their own personal invalidation (or agreement with those who would criticize them) could create any adverse effect on them. If you study the materials that Hubbard studied, then you’ll see where the gains you received actually came from – and how to get more of them.

But this is only my opinion.

I no longer fear this corporation. I have nothing of value that they would possibly want. I am connected to no group of people who are working actively against them. I only want to be left alone, in peace. (Plus, people driving out to my fairly remote farm can’t create much effect on the grass, trees, cows, and wildlife out here…)

Their threats of being “declared suppressive” are bogus – since there is no upper Bridge to worry about, is there? Their “freeloader” status is another laugh if you don’t ever intend to take services with them. Legally, there is no debt to prosecute. More corporate-cult harassment.

And I’ve already found perhaps a dozen or more additional paths a person could follow reach even higher states than Hubbard ever researched or the current corporate head approves. (And these are easily found for any who have already exhausted what corporate Scientology has to offer and still want to really achieve their “Total Freedom”.)

So I say to everyone: believe as you will. And listen to no one – including myself – who tells you how to believe. Search for the truth in the world around you which is true for you. Because that is the only truth that counts. (As Hubbard covered in his Essay on Personal Integrity…) You are and have always been free to communicate to whoever you want to and however you like. You have always had the freedom to read, and think, and realize any damned thing you please. No one has ever been able to tell you not to or deny you that choice.

Just this final piece of advice: Be Your Self.

- – - -

Update: (even before this goes live) Having read recent posts on Marty Rathbun’s blog as well as scientology-cult.com, I was reminded that there is a precarious situation ongoing: Scientology only can be (and always has needed to be ) delivered within a very tight set of constraints. It does work, but only within its very narrow world. All within that world must have incredible faith in the “technology” of Scientology as being infallibly correct. One you get a crack in that dike (as I experienced), then the ensuing flood tears a new outlet and the dam breaks irrevocably.

As a long-time “cramming officer”, I saw this first hand. And this is what drove me right out of doing any “tech” application. People were afraid, and were altering what they knew was in writing or on tape – as policy, “tech”, or ethics – in order to preserve their own safety, control, or approval. I was frequently able to debug very snarled-up people in just minutes of “two-way-communication”, yet was attacked because I didn’t use a meter until after the fact (while I could often sort them out in the time it took to get down the hallway to my office). …Because executives over me were afraid of being attacked if what I was doing (helping people directly) was “found out.”

The point here is that Scientology as it was known will never ever recover. Certain individuals, as my friend Marty (who I haven’t seen in decades) are able to carry on by themselves. But they will never be able to run any international organization or keep up the standards necessary to do so. Practicing Scientology will only be possible on very local affairs after the current corporate-cult collapses from internal intrigue. Because there have been too many abuses, starting well before Hubbard passed on. The cat is out of the bag, and Miscavige has been the one holding the strings at the time.

Burt Goldman

Napoleon Hill‘s credit and legacy is in writing one of the all-time best selling self-help guides ever published.

What do these two have in common?

Burt is about to release (or already has, depending on when you read this) the secret to Napoleon Hill’s “Boardroom of Advisors”

You’ll find this in his Chapter 14 of “Think and Grow Rich” – “The Sixth Sense”.

Now Hill carefully doesn’t spring this on his readers until this chapter so that he could build up their understanding in order to accept it. And he had used it for decades before he mentioned it in this book. Hill didn’t even bring it up in his 16-volume “Law of Success”.

And Burt understood this enough himself to not spring it on people until he could do it himself and also teach others how to do it. Burt is a teacher. And he tests carefully before he promotes his new material (although some of the people marketing his stuff might have different ideas…)

Let me tell you how this stuff really works.

And then you can compare how Burt teaches to do it.

Hill had these simple points:

• Understanding the existence of Infinite Intelligence throughout the universe.
• Knowing that this force can be induced to transmute Desires into material form.
• Faith (personal, not religious) in these principles and yourself enable it to work.
• “My experience has taught me that the next best thing to being truly great,
  is to emulate the great, by feeling and action, as nearly as possible.“

With those personal rock-solid data under his belt, Hill then committed himself to meeting with a boardroom full of Invisible Counselors every evening.

Every night, over a long period of years, I held an imaginary Council meeting with this group whom I called my “Invisible Counselors.”

The procedure was this. Just before going to sleep at night, I would shut my eyes, and see, in my imagination, this group of men seated with me around my Council Table. Here I had not only an opportunity to sit among those whom I considered to be great, but I actually dominated the group, by serving as the Chairman.

I had a very DEFINITE PURPOSE in indulging my imagination through these nightly meetings. My purpose was to rebuild my own character so it would represent a composite of the characters of my imaginary counselors. Realizing, as I did, early in life, that I had to overcome the handicap of birth in an environment of ignorance and superstition, I deliberately assigned myself the task of voluntary rebirth through the method here described.

After years of use and subsequent study of the phenomenal changes this method had produced in his life, Hill figured out what was actually going on:

These facts are mentioned preliminary to a statement of fact which I shall now make, namely, that during my meetings with the “Invisible Counselors” I find my mind most receptive to ideas, thoughts, and knowledge which reach me through the sixth sense. I can truthfully say that I owe entirely to my “Invisible Counselors” full credit for such ideas, facts, or knowledge as I received through “inspiration.”

Burt’s earlier products are the clue

Now, if you’ve studied Burt Goldman’s MindBox, you’ll see immediately how Hill was able to achieve these results.

Burt’s techniques are based on his long-standing association with Silva Method of Laredo Texas. He uses the Silva Method in nearly every technique he has – as a method of enabling people to quickly get to a high meditative state where they can access the Universal Mind or Infinite Intelligence directly.

His “Quantum Jumping” is based on his same point – and was originally discussed in his “Mind Box” release.

Frankly, this goes back to older Huna philosophies, among others, where a person would have a Magic Garden to resolve difficulties. This isn’t particularly new to anyone studying New Thought authors, either.

Burt introduced the idea of a doppelganger in an “alternate universe”, which is a similar imaginary situation. Jose Silva had this concept as well.

So the technique you can use, is to simply look up the Silva method and do this on your own.

I’ve done exactly that, and used these “Invisible Counselors” from time to time. And gotten incredible insights from it. May even do it tonight…

Your own mileage may vary – there are no “typical results” – since metaphysics depends on two things:

1. You get out what you put into it. Expect a scam and you have one.
2. The intention you put behind a technique will determine it’s results. Even real Quantum Physicists agree on that.

So I’ll give you the link to Burt’s release about Hill’s “Invisible Counselors” again.

And tell me if I didn’t just spill the beans above?

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

Now to begin with, my blog was simply an ordinary one – talking about my life experiences as I was pitching my self help books – Go Thunk Yourself stuff. As I was also studying marketing (publishers don’t market, authors do), I got in with some very interesting Internet Marketing coaching guys and exposed them as scams over a year or so. And somewhere in the middle of it, I found out exactly how scammers work and why. It’s all written up in my “Get Your Self Scam Free”, which is under that link and also a free online course to get scams out of your life.

Meanwhile, I was continuing my research, looking for anything on Christ Consciousness (even though I had already republished Bucke’s “Cosmic Consciousness”) – when I found Finer Minds and Burt Goldman’s Quantum Jumping – and blogged about it.

How the scam links started

Then I started getting traffic from Google for “quantum jumping scam”. Only because I had been blogging for the year before about a scam I had fallen into – and then made a single post about Quantum Jumping. Just as an experiment, I created a blog post which said, essentially, that anything can be considered a scam. And posted a presentation on this on Slideshare and Scribd. Then I followed this up a couple weeks later with another post saying essentially the same thing, that people who fall victim to these are the “Get Rich Quick addicts”. And meanwhile Google had pushed me up their ranks for “Burt Goldman Scam” and “Quantum Jumping Scam” so now I get regular traffic which can’t really be turned into any sort of sales. There is simply no affiliate sales program for this.

From an SEO point, this is just an interesting nuisance. Now Google has me “above the fold” for more than half a dozen related pages. So I get a fair amount of regular traffic which goes nowhere. I have links back to their site and to my own books (like “Get Your Self Scam Free”) but it’s not worth my time to take all these pages down – so I just watch them. I did have a conversation with their marketing people after they emailed me. And carefully explained that this was a natural outgrowth of Google search, that if I took my pages down, Google would simply elevate some others there. At least I didn’t really think Goldman’s stuff was a scam.

And I told him that other clients of theirs, like Silva Life Products, don’t have that problem – simply because they have been running affiliate programs for years. The affiliates have taken these top areas and route people back into sales. You can convert any Google keyword: “[product] scam” into actual recurring sales if you employ affiliates to do so.

So I keep these pages up partially out of good will toward these people I’ve never physically met, and partially out of curiosity. (And no one has made it worth my while to invest the time I’d need to take these down.)

Don’t worry – most of the stuff out there is scammy

It’s still my considered opinion that the bulk (97%) of all Internet Marketing is bunk and BS. But I can say this as I’ve been scammed and put all my metaphysical training to work uncovering why people get scammed to begin with. And when you read these sites like Burt’s – you’ll see that someone is hyping up what they are really delivering just so you are going to buy it.  If you take the scam-free checklist and apply it to any of these self-help sites (or anyone trying to sell something to a popular audience) and you’ll see the repeating pattern of sales pages. There are a handful of regular points which are used in Marketing to entice you to buy their goods. And until you get Scam Free, you are going to continue to fall for it over and over and over.

Those people who cry “I wuz scammed!” just don’t know how scammy they are themselves. I mean, if you keep doing the same things over and over, yet expect different results each time, you are scamming yourself.

I’ve helped people (with no personal gain in it at all) to get their money back from scammers – and those days are long over. One point I found interesting is that they each had to completely change their outlook on themselves and how they approach life. Once they “got over being scammed”, only then could they logically and methodically get out from under that scene they had created. A real learning experience for all concerned. While I don’t work with refunds at all anymore – I wrote the basics of scamming all up in a small book so people can quit getting themselves scammed.

Were you scammed by Burt Goldman? Then get the book or just do the free lessons I linked above. And learn the lesson you set out for yourself. You can actually live a much better life when you finally do.

Animal activist floods Missouri lawmakers’ inboxes; they retaliate

Thursday, April 1, 2010 | 4:24 p.m. CDT BY The Associated Press JEFFERSON CITY — After an animal rights activist clogged Missouri lawmakers’ inboxes with unwanted e-mails, they responded by doing the same to her. And then some.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Thursday that activist Brenda Shoss and her advocacy group, Kinship Circle, sent a deluge of e-mails to Missouri House members last week, urging them to vote against a bill allowing a horse slaughterhouse to open in Missouri.

Republicans and Democrats alike objected to the volume of e-mails — hundreds from all over the world. So some lawmakers programmed their e-mail systems to forward any message containing the word “horse” to Shoss. Others told her they would consider passing the bill out of spite.

The House passed the bill Thursday in a 91-61 vote, sending it to the Senate. Shoss received taunting calls, some making neighing sounds. One caller sang a version of the theme song from “Mr. Ed,” the television show about a talking horse. Shoss said she was stunned by the vitriolic response. The late-night, anonymous phone calls led her to file a harassment complaint with the University City Police Department.

The calls stopped after the Post-Dispatch began asking lawmakers about them, she said.

The deal is that there is, in life, no set agreement on “rules of engagement”. So when a representative has to wade through hundreds of emails, most from out of state and not their constituents, they can retaliate the same manner.

Maybe a little over the top – but didn’t this activist actually ask for this treatment by starting it? Just because you work for the public doesn’t mean you have to put up with abuse and rudeness.

The deal with the stupidity of lawmakers in Washington who started this whole horse-mess

Look, what do you do with old animals who are basically suffering? Put them out of their misery. But then, guess what? You’ve got a carcass on your hands.

And you not only paid the vet to put the animal down, but now have to pay to either incinerate the carcass, or bury it somewhere which is not going to leak into the water supply somehow.

Some people compost animals – but this takes almost 1/2 of a dump truck load of organic material (sawdust) – and you still have to check the temperature and mix the pile now and then to keep it hot enough to digest (otherwise, it really does smell to high heaven.)

Horse owners used to be able to send their old pet over to a processor who would then be able to make dog food and glue. (Or sell the parts to someone who could.) These are just the old facts of life. Do you see a lot of horse cemeteries around?

When the really idiot Washington lawmakers decided you can’t pay USDA inspectors at these plants – so they couldn’t be used for human consumption – it just took the market out of existence. Apparently dogs owners don’t pay enough to support even a single horse-rendering plant in Missouri.

Now horses are being abandoned in public lands, state parks, and so on.

Same thing happened with that BSE scare and those scammers at HSUS who sat on a video of animal abuse in one single processor in California – now you can’t get a cow carcass picked up anywhere, and farmers have to pay extra to dispose of them.

Guess what – if expenses get too high, and the consolidated buyers won’t pay enough for beef – farmers go out of business and your meat costs continue to skyrocket. And that is these radical activists real intent.

Radical Activists and their “Voter Referendum” Proxies

Now some, like HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle, says that people should just go and be vegan – whether they like it or not.

And you can eat whatever you want. But I was raised on beef and raise some of the finest-tasting beef myself now – all humanely. (I was just out scratching one of my “any day now” pregnant heifers today. Found out she knows that when I call her by name, she’s going to get a treat. Even made a special trip to town today, just to get some of the “sweet feed” she likes.)

What these  “feel-good” scammers like HSUS do is to run campaigns, setting up local organizations with dupes, all financed by contributions by people who think they are actually saving animals. Factually, most of the HSUS income goes to 1) Executive salaries, 2) Executive benefits, and 3) Lobbyists. I’ve documented this in various links before.

Like the stupid horse inspection law above, they get some people all conscientious about animals and mis-informed about how these animals are actually treated. And then some idiotic interference is built into the laws or even the constitution of the state so that people can’t run a quality life on a farm without some government program interfering and driving them out of business.

The great part about this bill is that it is to close a loophole the HSUS and other radical activist groups have been using – so they can’t affect agriculture with minority extremist  ballot initiatives like they have in other states. This is fighting by proxy – it’s always the “people of the state of Missouri”, not HSUS and it’s TV ads.

According to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:

The bill passed by the House on Thursday included a new paragraph that may limit oversight over some animal breeders.

The paragraph affirms the right of state residents to raise domesticated animals and captive fish and game birds “in a humane manner without the state imposing an undue economic burden on their owners.”

State laws criminalizing or regulating crops or the welfare of animals “will be valid unless based upon the most current industry standard and generally accepted scientific principles and enacted by the General Assembly.”

In short, unless they get a law passed in the house – not a populist-inspired (activist-ignited) ballot referendum.

The legislature is saying that you can’t pass any law regarding raising animals unless it’s passed by the General Assembly. So even when some city or county says a farm within its limits has to now do such-and-so to care for its animals – when they have been doing nothing inhumane by acceptable standards, they can say – show me the Missouri State Law which says that.

When this horse-slaughter bill is passed, that is.  Hopefully, they will implement it in such a fashion that it becomes law immediately, where the whole Missouri “puppy mill” bill won’t even make it to the ballot. Just be sensible and enforce the laws we have – and leave people alone if they aren’t doing anything wrong.

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

It all started when some plug-ins I was using in order to make WordPress actually do SEO – these conflicted and set up some sort of loop which was crashing the server. So they very nearly kicked me off.

Then I said, hey – all this stuff about Burt Goldman and his Quantum Jumping product is fine, but it’s not my main line of work. Let me see if I can just move this over to another wordpress host and redirect the traffic there.

Now it worked fine the first day – but by the second, wordpress.com had put in some sort of cancelling script which redirected everything to the front page. A simple work around was to take my most popular Burt Goldman scam post and put it up as the front page.

But the damage was done. My traffic went to nothing, since Google also then figured that these links weren’t worth anything and so I quit getting but maybe a fifth of my daily traffic before.

By the third day, I simply cancelled the re-direct and sent traffic back to my original site.

Nice failed experiment.

At the core of it was the problem that internal links in wordpress are not relative. They are exact. So all my internal links went back to robertworstell.com and so were redirected to the same page on wordpress.com – which put an interesting load on wordpress’s servers and probably looked like some sort of spammer routine.

Bottom line: WordPress is good for newbies, but sucks at SEO, so don’t use it professionally.

Here’s the line-up to get a non-scam set-up:

1. Get a custom-made CMS for your main backend. Don’t use anyone else’s “site builder” – they all suck. In order to make them user-friendly, they have compromises built in.
2. Use separate, remote blogs to drive traffic to your main site. Keep your main site as static as possible, only tweaking the landing pages to improve sales. Update your main site with a Press Release at least once a month.
3. Backlinks are best done in :
   - articles
   - comments
   - videos
   - scribd.com – type doc storage sites
   - archive.org podcasts
   - press releases

You don’t have to go out and get some Internet Marketing Training in order to learn how to do this. If you simply invest the same amount of dedicated time you’d spend with their (failed) site-builders in order to create your online business, you will get the same data without that expense.

What these “online marketing coaches’” really do is use you as their income stream as long as you can keep up your credit card payments.

What you really want to do is to not sign up for services, but rather just buy a finite product which you can return if you don’t like it – Like Burt Goldman’s Quantum Jumping or his Mind Box product.

Although I am too tempted to pile all the massive “bonuses” I have downloaded on my machine into CD’s and then offer them for cheap on the Internet – just so people can see how stupid this stuff really is.

Of course, they’d also get a copy of my “Online Sunshine Plan” and also “Get Your Self Scam Free” in order to weed out the nonsense from what actually works.

But as I’m still learning what does and doesn’t work myself – I thought to give you a heads up.
