A Midwest Journal

I was scammed, then out of it, and then I worked to help others get out of their scams.

Then they got me again, but finally I finally got out – for good.

Because the real lesson here is that they never, ever learn. They are built to scam from sometime in childhood and it’s a hardwired mental deficiency.

But you can and should learn from your mistakes.

The only other option is to become a scammer yourself, which is never a good thing.

Let me explain:

Now, this is all I’m going to tell you about my specifics. Suffice to say – I’ve been there, done that. Wrote a book about it. And now I’ve moved on. For good.

Scammers can’t do anything but scam. They live a damned existence in fact.

Because they are chronic liars. They literally “can’t handle the truth.” They lie to the people they sell to, they lie to each other, they lie to their families. And they are in hiding all the time from everyone. Money they get burns through their fingers and they never actually build any wealth. And they hate it when people talk about them, regardless whether it’s true or not.

I’ve done by now a couple of years of research on these guys and can tell you that’s the way it is.

They are, statistically, a very small minority group of white-collar hard-core criminals. And they don’t reform unless forced to – which is only temporary (they only keep running as long as you keep chasing.)

It’s the Bell Curve distribution of our society at work. Just as there are a very small handful of people who are the extremely uber-rich geniuses, so there are this very small set of genius criminals who are constantly doing themselves in – along with everyone around them.

The typical scammer sees a business plan as “how to get around some regulation or law.” So their idea of how things work is simply to get a lot of people to give them money and then “fulfill their contractual obligations.” Meaning that most people never see a dime of their own investments back. It’s the only way these guys want to work. A straight-up job, saving and investing for the long-haul just isn’t exciting for these characters.

And that very small minority makes it rough on the rest of us. Because, especially due to their collusion with lawyers, they have required special laws to be made to try to catch every loophole that can be found. So the rest of us have to deal with very stupid laws and regulations so that the 20% of us which are constantly stupid enough to be repetitively scammed through life – that this slightly larger minority make sure the rest of us are legally required to have all sorts of safety equipment on our homes, businesses, cars, and even in the way we do business with each other.

The heart of it is the chronic scammer at work. But until you spot them, you won’t be able to do anything about it. Life will be a constant, sorry and sordid mystery where you just can’t seem to get ahead.

To help solve this, I created an anti-scam checklist so you can spot scammers in your life.

Once you spot them – get off their lines and get them off yours. Quit dealing with people who chronically lie. Period. You can do the “right thing” and still be nice to them. But make no agreements, never ever give them any money or anything valuable of yours. Watch them closely until you are sure they have left. Because until you do get these guys off your lines, they are going to lie, cheat, and steal just as much as they can get away with it.

With this article, I’m even leaving the whole subject of scamming. Enough is enough. But I couldn’t leave without telling you this last piece of advice: Find them and root them out and then leave them completely and utteryly alone.

You’ll be relieved and glad you did. And life will be a lot more pleasantly profitable.

- – - -

And with that, I’m done with writing about scams. You can get my “Get Your Self Scam Free Book” and use the anti-scam checklist to solve your life. But I’m done with these guys for good.

The rest of my time is going to raising grass fed beef near Columbia, Mo (and this includes Fulton, and Jefferson City…)

But look for some humorous parody cartoons to start up shortly. I’ve got a lifetime of these to share…

Had to learn an old lesson all over again.

Once you get away from really self-centered, destructive people – stay far, far away.

You know they aren’t up to any good. You know you’ve been burnt before. You know it just irritates you all over the place.

So just get away and stay away.

They aren’t going to change by your doing anything to or for them. They are actually and factually already living in the worst sort of hell imaginable.

My solution: Get Your Self Scam Free.

When you know what Cialdini, Levenson, and Maslow wrote in these areas, you don’t have to be a dupe, patsy, or victim to criminal scammers anymore.

You can re-learn a great life for yourself and be free from here on out.

The only good thing about tar-babies is that it feels so good when you quit…

(And you can still release on anything leftover.)

Try it for yourself and see – this link: release technique.

It’s not all that ridiculous for a big corporate scam to be taking place. But if the HSUS were the Red Cross – and the animals had an actual voice – you’d see that there would be some quick changes happening.

From just cursory investigation, I’ve found that:

1. HSUS spends less than .5 percent of what their online and television ads rake in on actually supporting shelters.
2. The bulk of it goes to lobbyists, political campaign funds, and fat executive bonuses with benefits.
3. There is an apparent organized mob connection.
4. They are under a RICO lawsuit for conspiring with other radical activist groups to do harm.

And it’s not surprising that farmers in Missouri are now concerned that their sponsorship of a puppy-mill bill (which is argued to be unnecessary, since existing laws already cover what they are proposing) is just a foot in the door to start regulating the Animal Husbandry industry. At least once source reports that they are radical activist vegans who are trying to get everyone to quit eating meat:

In Animal Rights and Human Obligations, the published proceedings of this conference, HSUS stated unequivocally that “there is no rational basis for maintaining a moral distinction between the treatment of humans and other animals.” It’s no surprise, then, that a 2003 HSUS fundraising mailer boasted that the group has been working toward “putting an end to killing animals for nearly half a century.”

And that is exactly why I’m taking a break from my work at a whitepaper on how to raise environmentally-responsible, heart-healthy grassfed beef cattle – just to tell you that there are some nuts loose among the squirrels.

So today I bring you a video and some links to share. Hope these bring you some food for thought.

A Mooving Video about Cows Saving the Environment

Just had to link and forward this one.

This is exactly where I’m heading with my studies on mob grazing.  Holistic Management Institute is at the forefront of getting farmers to graze both efficiently and effectively.  Ultra-high-density grazing is where we need to be in order to achieve a sustainable life process on this planet.

And nothing beats carbon-sequestration (stuffing that CO2 right back into the soil) than mob-grazing cattle on perennial-grass pastures. And nothing beats the taste and quality of beef than grassfed beef cattle raised this way.

I’m right in the  middle of an overdue whitepaper on this – where I will lay out the business plan for this type of scene.

There’s a lot of hope for this area – and the light-hearted approach this video takes is a great start.

Had a breakthrough today which I just had to tell you about. And in my own style, it’s a bit esoterically powerful in application.

Before I tell you how you can improve your ability in setting and achieving your personal and business goals, we have to cover how you go about your life goals setting. And also what success goals you would want to shoot for.

Lester Levenson had a great deal to cover on this, as does Hale Dwoskin and Larry Crane. Goals are important to people. And it doesn’t matter if you use Sedona Method or Release Technique to improve your goal achievement.

You have to know how to find goals to set. And mostly, this is done by getting beyond all the control, approval, and security involved with even needing a goal to begin with.

If you really look at it, anything to do with money is really only due to those three desires: control, approval, and security. If money disappeared tomorrow, people would still be able to make a living. If people disappeared tomorrow, so would any money. Money is a fiction created by people – mostly to get and hold control over others, to get and win approval, to provide security or ensure it.

That’s the whole discussion on the Health Care Bill right now – false security by the concept that people have to be insured, and how much this is going to cost. And who is going to control it all – plus these Congress-people wanting or flaunting the approval of their constituents.

Popularity and celebrity is another gimmick and runs the same way. It’s heavy on approval and control.

Ask Al Gore. He’s on his way to taking a PowerPoint presentation into a cool billionaire status by running a carbon-trading company – nice work if you can get it. Nice awards on that mantel, Al.

But you can have all the money you would ever want. And also any amount of celebrity you could need. We could each one of us be Donald Trumps if we wanted.

The trick is in letting go of the pluses and minuses to each end of the spectrum.

And this is before you decide on any goal for yourself, your life, or your business, or relationships, etc.

Now, I’m not one to make things more complex. I tell people to take Hale Dwoskin’s and Larry Crane’s stuff and use what they can out of it. Because once you get this releasing stuff really plugged into your life, it becomes a natural action. Like breathing. It’s actually part of your way of life.

For some of us, there can be short cuts to the seemingly harder situations to release.

So I’ve extracted a method that both Hale and Larry use different versions of – which is to alternately release on both extremes.

Take money (just not mine…) Release on being insanely rich, and do that until it seems fine with you. Then release on being completely poor (“ Being broke is temporary, poor is a state of mind.”) And do that end of it until it’s fine with you. Then back to “being rich” again. Then do “poor” again after that.

You just keep this up 1 – 2 – 1 – 2 – 1… until the whole subject is completely fine with you. What you’re looking for is to be completely content with the subject and no longer attached to it in any degree.

One point a friend pointed out was to also release on the good feelings you have about being rich or poor – like the control it gets you out of, or how it helps you get control over others, or approval from people, etc. You can have those “good” results from these desires when you are rich or poor…  So release everything on both ends as you go.

And after that, you’ll have all the money you need when you need it – but you won’t “need” it anymore in general.

You can do this with any particular goal in your life. Or purpose or anything else you are trying to achieve, acquire, become, etc.

The point, of course, is to take all the effort out of it and move everything in your life over into the “miracles as usual” band. Because that’s really how you get everything around you. You just demonstrate/manifest it. All these other reasons and excuses and “because’s” are just thoughts and resistance you’ve built up along the way.

Trick is in getting back to your native operating state – and drop all these thoughts off along the way.

And once you don’t “have to have” anything, then your goals will come to you naturally and intuitively. You don’t have to “decide” on a goal or do a complex advantages/disadvantages list – or anything like it. Just first get really “hootless” on the subject itself. Then see if you don’t already have a goal for this area. You may not even need to have a goal now – since, like money, it just shows up as and when you need it.

Of course, this isn’t going to get you accepted into the finest clubs and universities – because they “make money” from keeping this difficult. So it’s just our little secret – which is now all over the Internet.

And of course, drop me a line or leave a comment on how this goes for you…

Good Hunting!

It’s really just too easy to get hope into your life, making everything around you make sense. Life can be a calm, rewarding experience.

Really, there are only two steps:

1. Find out what makes you really happy and narrow your focus to these points.
2. Gradually get rid of those things which irritate you.

Now, along this line, you are adjusting your world view and your belief system to the one you’ve always wanted.

The only reason you don’t have this all settled by now is that you accepted (more or less) the people and instances around you which told you that you couldn’t be in control of your life and that things didn’t always happen for the better.

Your life is and has always been exactly what you make it.  So you can simply start re-making it by deciding what you want to improve in it and then move in that direction. For some, this means work. For others, they realize it’s just changing your attitude toward things.

At no time in our past has it been easier to change your mind than it is now. You can have access to the world’s religions and philosophies through the Internet and through all these massive amounts of books that are published each year. It’s just too easy to get all this data.

The next thing is to do something with it.

Just start tracking what make you happy, makes your life more pleasant – and then learn more about how to get this sort of material into your life on a regular basis. At the same time, make room for all this by simply getting all the noise and critical people and random effects out of your life. Do whatever actions you have to.

For critical people, this can be simply being pleasant to them – just not set them off. Don’t talk about subjects which you know irritate them. Be supportive and make all your own criticism constructive. If you have to live with these, then as you change your own actions, this will then help them adjust theirs. Don’t think for a moment they like to be critical – it’s just that they don’t know a better way to live life. So help educate them by your own example.

For example: you may want to get rich…

Now, it’s easier than ever to get rich. Lots of books on this subject:

• Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
• Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles
• How to Turn Your Abilities into Cash by Earl Prevette

I even compiled a lot of self help authors’ essays on money into a single book called Money: How to Get It, How to Keep It.

And you can get all of this data online for free if you want – just find it and download it from the Internet (I work to find and republish these after I clean up their formatting – and publish them as hardcopy versions if you want.)

But these books are the time-proven classics which tell you everything you could possibly want to know about the subject. Now, modernly, you can get Robert Kiyosaki or Dolf De Roos if you want to know about real estate. And others tell of other routes to getting rich.

The trick with all this is to follow your intuition and not your habits of “Get Rich Quick”. (I’ve been that route with the Utah Internet scammers and know that it just leads you into more debt – until you can force them to pay you back.)

Even that is its own example – you don’t have to be effect of anything out there. Just research it, apply what you learn, and change your life into what you want it.

Lots of hope for change in the future – and it’ isn’t tied to some politician. It’s up to you and what you want to do with your life.

Always has been.

Generally, I’ve found that it’s just too simple to get peace of mind at will. You just have to really want it, and then use Lester Levenson’s Sedona Method (releasing technique) to simple get exactly what you want.

Of course, this also means that you can have all the Happiness and Freedom you ever desired. Because they are really all the same thing.

And it’s quite simple to do this. While it’s easier done than said, there is a simple two-step release process. But it’s a bit more of a Zen-related aspect to life, since you can easily get to where all those former worries just doesn’t seem to matter any more.

Simply:

1. Welcome whatever it is that’s bothering you – accept it for being what it is.
2. Consider the idea of letting it go.

With the various noises that sound off all the time around us, it’s good to keep this in mind.
