Introducing EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

2012-02-20T21:09:00.000-08:00

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) involves simple procedures that are harmless without any negative side effects. These procedures are: affirmations, tapping, counting, humming and rolling your eyes around in your head.

Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world are using EFT to adjust the body’s subtle energies, with positive results.

Research indicates that EFT, though still in its birthing stages seems to be evolving from the traditional Chinese practice of acupuncture. Chinese medicine claims that there are meridians through which the body’s life energy known as “Chi” flows. The significant difference is that the practice of acupuncture requires needles on the body’s energy points while EFT relies solely on touch.

Additionally, while the practice of acupuncture was developed to correct physical issues, EFT was originally developed to adjust emotional imbalances in the body’s energy system. Over time, EFT has grown to remedy both physical and emotional issues. It appears that some unique facets of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) are combined with the simplified form of Chinese acupuncture to facilitate the EFT protocol.

Testimonials from people following the EFT procedures, reveals that affirmations, tapping on specific body locations, counting, humming and rolling your eyes around one’s head commonly leads to first, dissolving fears, and later releasing a variety of emotional and physical ailments. It seems that by tapping on the energy meridians, while recalling the memory which triggers the negative emotions release the energy blockages.

Historically, the EFT movement can be traced back about 5000 years when the Chinese first discovered that the human bod has a complex system of energy circuits. More recently, in the 1980’s, an American psychologist, Dr. Roger Callahan introduced tapping with his fingertips on specific energy points on patients who were not responding to conventional treatments. At this time, the tapping was not known as EFT.

Gary Craig, a professional engineer, who doubles as a Personal Performance Coach, became a student of Dr. Callahan. By the early 1990’s, Gary Craig has synthesized the science behind the tapping procedures and he labelled the technique EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique. EFT became his life’s work and he first created The EFT Manual and later he created this website is: http://www.emofree.com

Gary Craig, one of the strongest advocates of EFT assembled “The Discovery Statement” which reads: “The cause of all negative emotion is a disruption in the body’s energy system.”

According to Gary Craig, the full Basic Recipe for EFT consists of these four ingredients and takes about two minutes to perform: (1) the Setup, (2) the Sequence, (3) the 9 Gamut Procedure and (4) The Sequence. This Basic Recipe is explained at this website which has a couple of pages from Gary Craig’s Manual:

Gary Craig’s original and official Manual is listed at Amazon at this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1604150661 otherwise, it might be found else for FREE elsewhere from any search engine. It is noteworthy to point out that any money generated from sales is used to promote EFT globally. Gary Craig makes no personal profit from EFT products.

The diagram of EFT tapping points in the graphic at the top of this page was created by Andy Bryce at this website: http://www.simplydivinerelationshiptraining.com By clicking on the icon for “What Is EFT?” one can read “A Brief Explanation of EFT and How To Tap - Including A Diagram.”

NOTE: For more information do a search for “Emotional Freedom Technique” at any search engine. Then try EFT on everything and re-engineer your body’s energy to make previous problems disappear.

NOTE: Here is one of my affirmations re: EFT - “Even though I abhor the fact that usury causes wars, violence, poverty, scarcity and lack, I deeply and completely accept and love myself.”

Other SDI entrepreneurs are invited to create and repeat personal affirmations designed to help usher in a new age of usuryfree living for everyone on planet earth.

Lifestyle For Living Cancer Free

2012-02-07T13:29:00.000-08:00

By John Tod

NOTE: More and more people afflicted with "cancer diagnosis" are looking for information about alternative therapies and solutions to optimal health and wellness. This article by John Tod offers lots of relevant information for those seeking to re-educate themselves.

"As we all know cancer is on the rise. Over one hundred years ago it was a medical oddity. In 1970 it was projected that 1 out of 10 people would be touched by cancer sometime in their lifetime. It could be something as simple as Melanoma, a touch of shin cancer in the form of a mole that won't heal to something far worse. Now that projection has risen to 1 in 3 will be touched by cancer. Soon it will be not "if" you will get cancer but "when".

The conventional cancer cures do not address the core problem. Our environment and food chain is loaded with chemicals. Cattle are injected with Growth Hormones in the U.S. It has been banned in Canada and several other countries. Anti-biotics are routinely given to cattle on factory farms where cattle are raised to market weight and then slaughtered. These cattle are usually fed the cheapest feed available so the anti-biotics are virtually necessary to keep the cattle alive until they reach market weight.

Cancer CAN be cured by a simple body detox to rid ourselves of these chemicals that we have been consuming and a major diet change in a lot cases. Sometimes our bodies need a little more help. More on that later. Our bodies are amazing biological machines and will repair themselves IF WE GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO DO SO. When our immune systems are overloaded with toxins this becomes impossible and we end up with cancer. The standard "cure" is to poison the cancer with chemo drugs which drastically lowers the immune system and harms every cell in the body.

There is a definite link between the Cancer Society and the big pharmaceutic companies that is closer to being proven the more that information is dug up on the internet. Many proven cures are debunked by the Cancer Society as "useless." Not ONE mention of body detoxing or a diet change is mentioned! Radiation takes out the target of the radiation but also has a great affect on the tissue it passes through. Does it make sense to do more harm to your body to attempt to cure it? NO suggestion of a diet change is ever given by your doctor because doctors are NOT taught that. The closest they will do is hand you Canada's Food Guide or tell you to eat more vegetables and fruit. They are trained to deliver prescription drugs as the cure all for all diseases when a "clean" diet is all that is needed.

Processed food is where the worst harm is. Read the label on most processed food and you will find a list of chemicals you can't even pronounce. There are taste enhancers, preservatives, colouring and "artificial flavouring" which are often not disclosed. Fast food is often full of fillers and animal parts that should not be in meat for human consumption. A lot of burger places advertise "100% beef" but what parts?

Coloring and artificial flavours are a real worry but the worst is taste enhancers and preservatives. These chemicals will destroy many bacteria in out digestive system that are necessary to keep us healthy. Diet drinks often contain Aspartame that you often hear about. It was railroaded through the FDA in the U.S. after being turned down multiple times and now is in everything that needs an artificial sweetener.

Crops are routinely sprayed with pesticides to keep the bugs off them. These pesticides enter the vegetable or the fruit and stay there. Washing them does little good.

In short we are being literally being poisoned to death. All these chemicals when they get together in our bodies produce a lethal soup that lowers our immune systems and makes our bodies a breeding ground for cancer. People's diets are getting worse and worse with all the fast food and junk food loaded with chemicals that are available.

We MUST change our diet and our lifestyle or we will perish. Its that's simple.

What I propose is a Facebook page for the Ottawa area (whose name is to be decided) on where to get meat, poultry, eggs, and vegetables that is organically raised. REAL organic foods that have been certified as organic are EXPENSIVE but I have managed to source a beef farmer who raises his cattle the "natural" way and an elk farmer who does the same thing. I have also managed to source a an egg producer who supplies Rainbow Foods who has recently converted to free roam chickens that are NOT injected with any drugs or anti-biotics. They are not officially classed as organic so their prices are a lot lower than "certified organic." We need to find more of these sources and make people aware of them.

We MUST change our diets to included a LOT more fruit and veggies and cut out ALL fast food, junk food, ANYTHING made with flour and SUGAR. Salt is harmful as well. Most processed food contains a LOT of salt. Make natural food dishes and use SEA SALT which provides your body with trace elements that are not often found in processed food because the processing often removes these elements.

Two of the big ones is body PH balancing and SUGAR. Cancer cells LOVE sugar. Eliminate sugar and that will go a long way to "starving" cancer cells. There are safe sugar substitutes such as Stevia to use instead. If you can boost the bodies PH balance to become more alkaline cancer cells cannot thrive, in fact the will actually start to die off.

Will you join this new Facebook group when it is formed? Your life could depend on it."

The Billion Dollar Club of SDI Companies

AND The SDI (Self Directed Income) Industry Will Come Of Age With The “SDI University”

By Tom J. Kennedy

Though we are experiencing a failing and faltering economy by design, the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry which was birthed in the mid-20th Century, continues to flourish as we progress into this 21stCentruy. Various SDI companies are experiencing record-breaking years as annual, retail sales revenues steadily increase.

Research indicates that numerous SDI companies are making significant gains in a challenging economy where the conventional, Trans-national, retail corporations are struggling to maintain market share.

Without a doubt, the secret to the ongoing success of multiple SDI companies is (a) their quality product lines at reasonable and fair prices (b) personalized service for preferred customers and (c) creative sales and marketing plans that fairly reward SDI entrepreneurs for their sales and marketing efforts.

A growing selection of health and wellness products are surfacing within the SDI industry. Melaleuca, founded in 1985, assumed a leadership role in 2011 with the unique achievement of $1 billion in retail sales. Melaleuca refers to its marketing strategy/plan as a “consumer-direct” marketing model.

Melaleuca joined the Billion Dollar Club of SDI companies which includes: Avon, Amway, Vorwerk, Herbalife, Mary Kay, Primerica, Tupperware, Forever Living. Oriflame, Natura, Nuskin – and perhaps other noteworthy billion dollar SDI companies that I am not yet aware of.

Additionally, there are countless other successful SDI companies that have not yet achieved the Billion dollar landmark, but just as the billion dollar SDI companies, they are well-respected corporations that pride themselves in marketing selected, quality products directly to consumers who are enrolled in the respective company networks of SDI entrepreneurs.

It is common for all successful, SDI companies to have sales and marketing plans that offer residual income(s) through various levels to active SDI entrepreneurs who maintain the minimum monthly purchases as outlined in the company policy.

Residual income is defined as: “income that continues to come in month after month and year after year because of the repeat purchases of products by loyal consumers.”

It is the sales and marketing efforts as well as the personal purchases of all the enrolled SDI entrepreneurs (in their respective SDI companies) that creates and increases the residual income(s) of all those who choose to participate by operating a part-time or full enterprise.

Indeed, the concept of ongoing residual income is the foundation of any successful SDI enterprise and new customers are commonly enrolled as SDI entrepreneurs to offset the previous customers (SDI entrepreneurs) who are lost due to attrition.

The questions arises: “Why is attrition so high in the SDI industry?" The term “attrition” is applied to SDI entrepreneurs who terminate or do not renew their annual membership with their chosen SDI business opportunity.

Historically, the rate of attrition in the SDI industry has been an ongoing concern since this unique sales and marketing industry was birthed in the 1950’s. Research indicates that most newly enrolled SDI entrepreneurs have little or no knowledge about how to launch and operate a home-based enterprise.

Before being exposed to the SDI industry, most people have been conditioned with an employee mentality where they expect a higher authority (boss) to tell them what to do when they report for work each day.

Initially, potential SDI entrepreneurs are commonly enrolled by a friend or family member who has been introduced to the business opportunity. The enroller rarely has any previous experience in sales and marketing but the emotional connection is sufficient for the new prospect to also enroll.

Together as a newly created team, these newest SDI entrepreneurs approach family, friends, neighbours and working colleagues with sketchy details of their (often accidentally) chosen SDI opportunity and the products and/or services offered. After a few rejections, novice SDI entrepreneurs routinely quit and decide that s/he will not pursue the chosen SDI opportunity.

Since formal education teaches little or nothing about “entrepreneurism” it is really no surprise that the rate of attrition within the SDI industry is alarmingly high. What is needed is a concept such as an “SDI University.” Way back in the mid-20th Century when McDonald’s was expanding, potential employees were schooled in the fast-food business at “Hamburger University.” It was Fred Turner, Ray Kroc’s first grillman who founded “Hamburger University” – a “Centre of Training Excellence” - in the basement of a McDonald’s restaurant in Elk Grove, Illinois in 1961.

Likewise, if the SDI industry is to mature and become the leading sales and marketing model of the 21st Century, I daresay that an “SDI University” is needed to properly school potential SDI entrepreneurs.

In this regard, I offer the SDI Eye Opener as a starting point where newly enrolled SDI entrepreneurs are invited to read the posts and become familiar with the SDI industry and some of the resources that are now available. I have also made a page at Facebook for the “SDI University.”

Historically, many SDI companies have been including in the fine print of their respective contracts, details that limit what the newly enrolled SDI entrepreneur can do or not do. Too often a high profile SDI entrepreneur has been terminated by the SDI home office company because s/he decided to build an SDI Portfolio to guarantee monthly earnings from more than one source.

While I understand the rational why SDI home office companies selfishly restrict their SDI entrepreneurs to marketing products and/or services from their selected SDI opportunity, I point out that such restrictions are not favourable to fostering unfettered free enterprise.

It is my observation that just as mom and pop retail stores in our local communities market more than one company’s products and/or services, so too, should SDI entrepreneurs be permitted to market more than one SDI company’s products and/or services – once they become familiar with the structure of the SDI industry.

Too often, I hear the over-worked pitch that SDI entrepreneurs can effectively market products and/or services from only one selected SDI company. This concept could be addressed and debated at the SDI University along with other sales and marketing ideas.

The SDI University could also take a leadership role in teaching SDI entrepreneurs how to negotiate trades with prospective consumers whereby the consumers would pay the wholesale portion of any purchase with federal cash and the retail mark-up portion with a local, usuryfree community currency – preferably a usuryfree time currency.

The growing awareness of accepting any usuryfree community currency for partial payment of any negotiated sales is a natural twin for any SDI enterprise. The key to maximizing this creative element is to treat any paper notes of usuryfree community currency as having a value equivalent to paper notes of federal cash or electronic blips of federal money.

For example, a product that retails for $50.00 probably has a wholesale cost of approximately $30.00. Therefore, the SDI entrepreneur could offer this product for sale and accept $30.00 federal cash and accept the equivalent of $20.00 of any usuryfree time currency. This idea would help re-build the spirit of local community and everyone who participates would be a winner.

Readers are invited to offer other ideas/concept which could be taught at SDI university such as how having a part-time, home-based enterprise offers many additional tax benefits not readily available to salaried or employees on an hourly wage.

Colloidal Silver What The Pharmaceutical Cartels Dont Want You To Know

2012-01-26T19:30:00.000-08:00

By Fred Onisko, Kyle McCarthy & Helen McCarthy

This article is to introduce you to a new and yet ancient way of fighting off diseases causing viruses, bacteria and fungi. The remedy is the mineral silver, which has been used in healing as far back in recorded time as 4000 B.C.

Persian records mention the practice of keeping water in silver vessels. The ancient Babylonian and Greek civilizations were aware of silvers ability to disinfect. The Romans reported the use of silver compounds for medical treatment. Before the days of refrigeration, silverware or a silver coin was kept in the drinking water and the milk to prevent spoilage.

As recently as the 1930s silver nitrate was routinely used by American hospitals in the eyes of newborn babies as a protection from blindness in case the mother had contracted a venereal disease that had gone undetected by her doctor. The March 1978 issue of Science Digest had an article called Silver, Our Mightiest Germ Fighter, in which they stated that more then half of the worlds airlines use silver treated water as the method of choice for protecting passengers from water-born diseases.

Additionally, the article quoted Dr. Harry Margraf, St. Louis Missouri, as saying: Thanks to eye opening research, silver is emerging as a wonderful modern medicine. An anti-biotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop silver is the best all round germ-fighter we have.

We are becoming immune to the selective antibiotics produced by the pharmaceutical companies. The medical community has acknowledged this publicly for years. The Los Angeles Times reported in an article titled Arsenal of Antibiotics Failing As Resistant Bacteria Develop, October 23, 1994: But in the last decade, a broad resistance to antibiotics has begun to emerge. And because bacteria can transfer genes among themselves, experts only expect the resistance to grow. The potential nightmare is an Andromeda strain, a super-microbe immune to all anti-biotics that could wreck havoc. UCLA Medical Centre has reported that colloidal silver killed every virus that was tested in the lab.

Colloidal silver is considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be a pre-1938 drug. The drug companies lobbied for this and were successful, because it was more profitable to manufacture designer antibiotics that only killed six to eight bugs.

It is known that prior to 1938, colloidal silver was administered in just about every way that modern drugs are used today. These uses included intravenously, orally and topically, I.e., throat gargle, eye drops, douche, open wounds, and burns. Contemporary medical tests indicate no known adverse effects from the use of properly prepared colloidal silver, and there has never been a recorded case of drug interaction or reaction with any other medication. It successfully reduces the length and severity of infectious disorders.

Today, with advances in technology, the manufacture of colloidal silver is far advanced and superior to the antiquated grind method that was most popular pre-1938. The most advantageous and highest quality colloidal silver is a result of the electro-colloidal, non-chemical procedure, using the electric-arc technique. This method allows for the concentration of colloidal silver to be measured in PPM (Parts Per Million).

The best way to ascertain if a product is a true colloidal silver is by reviewing the ingredients. Additives or stabilizers may make the product unsuitable. Refrigeration may indicate that there is an ingredient (additive) that might spoil at room temperature. Long term stability is an important aspect of colloidal silver. Trying to impress the public, some companies go for a higher concentration of the silver, but then necessity requires that they use stabilizers or a protein to bond the silver. The major problem with the use of stabilizers and proteins, is that they reduce the antimicrobial benefits by bonding to the silver, and so therefore, contain higher levels of silver to compensate for this reduced effectiveness.

This is where great caution should be taken. Consuming hundreds of times the recommended amount of stabilized silver may result in Argyria (the discolouration of the skin due to silver deposits). There are no known documented cases of Argyria, from the use of pure (no stabilizers or additives) electro-colloidal silver.

Of special note, there is an inherent electrical charge in the hydro-carbon molecule of plastic containers. This draws the silver out of the solution, binding it to the walls of the container. Therefore, storage of colloidal silver should be in glass preferably brown bottles.

Colloidal silver belongs in every emergency first aid kit. Whether your first aid kit is for the everyday accidents around the home, or for earthquakes, tornadoes and other natural disasters, each of us needs an antibiotic at our disposal. Colloidal silver is not germ specific like the prescription antibiotics available today. It has a long shelf life (as long as it is stored properly) and is available without a visit to your doctor.

500 ml brown bottle of colloidal silver - $30.00
500 ml brown bottle of colloidal gold - $45.00

Dosage: ¼ to ½ ounce three times daily to restore optimal health and wellness. The same amount once a day will usually help to maintain optimal health and wellness. Its just a silver mineral that is deficient in most all mineral supplements. Wonder why! Also our colloidal silver and colloidal gold contain no salts or oxides that can build up to cause gray or blue skin discolouring as with inferior or improperly made products.

Colloidal Silver and Colloidal Gold

2012-01-26T19:26:00.000-08:00

By Bruce McBurney

In researching anything, sometimes other things come up related, only because it has been misunderstood or suppressed. I rediscovered colloidal silver in the 1990s and learned there was much misinformation that scared people away from a safe solution to many more health problems than I can list here. Not being a doctor, I cannot give you medical advice. What I can do is explain the principles I have learned and help you to know what is best for you and yours.

The basic concept is from the statement that colloidal silver is effective when it is a singular silver molecule that can penetrate the cell membrane and disable the enzymes that help the bacteria breathe. The singular silver molecule destroys the bacteria and many infections. It is however not detrimental to human tissue in any way, when it is a singular molecule. This will be effective to work with your immune system but will not accumulate in the body. True colloids do not store but they enable and dissipate in our bodies.

I have found that many of the colloidal silver generators use low voltage and because of the lower voltage, the distilled water did not conduct the voltage. The recommendations was to put in a grain or two of salt to act as an electrolyte and aid in the process of making the silver colloid. However, if you use salt that you do not make a colloid, rather you make a silver chloride that is a compound molecule that cannot penetrate the cell membrane because it is joined to the salt molecule. Also because of its size, the body cannot pass this molecule on and it gets deposited into your skin causing argyria disease a graying or bluing of the skin. With properly made colloid there is not any skin build up at all and if you ever use a true colloid it will not show up in heavy metals testing. With an inferior product, it will read in testing years later.

Some products advertise the concentration to be rather high above 20 PPM (Parts Per Million). From my research and reading, I found that anything above 15 PPM would tend to coagulate the silver molecules. Now you would have two molecules joined together. This would not be effective because two molecules cannot penetrate the cell membranes where the singular molecule can. It was stated that with this in mind, the very best colloidal silver would be made at 10 PPM. At 10 PPM, colloidal silver becomes a fungicide.

With all this knowledge in mind and with help from some knowledgeable friends, we developed a simple method using a very high voltage AC (Alternating Current) to make a high quality colloidal silver (and gold) product that has been a blessing to many. We make no health and wellness claims other then these are some of the most effective products that you will ever encounter. Our machine uses the constant flow-over method to ensure the molecules singularity and the high voltage (1800 volts) has demonstrated an exceptional shelf life for any colloid. The silver electrodes do not discolour and they can produce thousands of gallons of water with the supplied silver bars. Our machines are ready for resale. We refined our improvements that will make an easily produced colloidal water product either silver or gold.

For now, we offer our colloidal silver and colloidal gold at a bargain price compared to similar products sold in retail stores (health food stores). I believe that over-pricing can effectively suppress a product. Also, when doctors and pharmacists have never heard of this amazing product, we can discern that the drug companies and the education facilities have done their job well!

We bottle our colloidal silver and gold at 11 PPM which means 10% better than the best.

Inviting Readers To The UsuryFree Eye Opener

2012-01-18T21:29:00.000-08:00

The UsuryFree Eye Opener

What is the UsuryFree Eye Opener? What is the ultimate objective of the UsuryFree Eye Opener? Who are the UsuryFree Creatives? Why the UsuryFree Eye Opener is twinned with the SDI (Self Directed Income) Eye Opener?

From the blog The UsuryFree Eye Opener: "The UsuryFree Eye Opener is the electronic arm of the UsuryFree Network. It seeks active usuryfree creatives to help advance our mission of creating a usuryfree lifestyle for everyone on this planet. Our motto is 'peace and plenty before 2020.' The UsuryFree Eye Opener publishes not only articles related to the problems associated with our orthdox usury-based, debt money system but also to the solutions as offered by active usuryfree creatives - and much more for your re-education."

Who are these usuryfree creatives? To better understand who are these usuryfree creatives permit me to refer you to the website for Cultural Creatives http://www.culturalcreatives.org where it is written:

"While Cultural Creatives are a subculture, they lack one critical ingredient in their lives: awareness of themselves as a whole people. We call them the Cultural Creatives precisely because they are already creating a new culture. If they could see how promising this creativity is for all of us, if they could know how large their numbers are, many things might follow. These optimistic, altruistic millions might be willing to speak more frankly in public settings and act more directly in shaping a new way of life for our time and the time ahead. They might lead the way toward an Integral Culture."

UsuryFree Creatives often see themselves as a subgroup within the larger group of Cultural Creatives. The focus point of usuryfree creatives is to re-educate our fellow citizens that a world without interest (usury) is possible again in this 21st Century as it was in the Middle Ages. UsuryFree Creatives are commonly found as active participants within the growing movement of local communities that are launching usuryfree community currencies to use as a complement with their diminishing amounts of paper notes of federal cash.

To qualify as an active usuryfree creative one must be aware of the design flaw of usury and know that it functions as the killer machine in our orthodox system of economics. As a usuryfree creative one also supports the growth and expansion of the usuryfree community currency movement as our last, best alternative that will aid us in setting up our 'economic lifeboats' in our respective local communities so that we-the-people can negotiate trades when the Titanic of usury-based debt money goes down.

Usuryfree creatives acknowledge that financial freedom is denied to all debtors the moment the ink dries on the promissory note held by the creditor - to whom the "system" has given the power to exact usury on any loan or mortgage. It is noteworthy that the creditors (banks) never create the "interest" or "usury" portion of any loan or mortgage. Only the principal portion of any loan or mortgage is created for the debtor. This malfunction of the design flaw of usury is the direct cause of wars, violence, poverty, scarcity and lack.

Our modern economic system of usury-based, debt money is imploding at an unprecedented rate as this 21st Century Recession deepens to a Depression that is likely to make the Depression of the 1930's look like a Sunday picnic. Usuryfree creatives recognize that the death rattles of the greedy, global banking cartel are going to be chaotic. That is why the UsuryFree Eye Opener is needed NOW!!

The UsuryFree Eye Opener was birthed with a mission to observe and comment on problems related to our usury-based, debt money system while advocating a usuryfree lifestyle as the optimal solution. Usuryfree creatives anticipate that a usuryfree lifestyle has the potential to rise as a phoenix from the ashes of usury-based, debt finance.

After years of meticulous research, various usuryfree creatives have been envisioning a blog where items commonly dismissed as "not newsworthy" by the mainstream media can be posted with space for comments, opinions and/or links to other relevant information. Usuryfree creatives have been looking for a blog where visitors can find the real truth about what's going on in the world of local and global economics rather than accepting to be brainwashed and mind-controlled by the few remaining mainstream media monopolies that have become monsters through acquisitions.

The UsuryFree Eye Opener includes news sources, information and articles on topics related to "economics" - and almost every topic that is open for discussion has some connection to "economics." Readers wishing to share an article about any topic that is important to them are invited to have it posted at the UsuryFree Eye Opener.

The UsuryFree Eye Opener is twinned with the SDI (Self Directed Income) Eye Opener. http://sdi-usuryfree.blogspot.com The SDI industry - otherwise referred to as the multi-level marketing or network marketing industry - is positioned to lead the way with
This innovative marketing concept as we progress into this 21st Century and usuryfree creatives are making a choice to spend their money differently by shopping from within their own loyal SDI networks.

While conventional business marketing concepts are failing, the SDI marketing concept is gaining popularity, probably because it relies on the oldest and most powerful sales model - people talking to other people. Usuryfree creatives are invited to familiarize themselves with the SDI industry as it will facilitate the shift towards usuryfree living for everyone on this planet. It is predicted that successful SDI entrepreneurs will become a hot commodity for many companies retailing products and/or services - in the not-too-distant future.

Usuryfree creatives commonly view themselves as "locavores" since they prefer to shop locally using a usuryfree community currency as a complement with their federal cash. The key element that attracts usuryfree creatives to the SDI industry is that SDI entrepreneurs have access to selected, quality products and/or services at wholesale prices. Usuryfree creatives know that these products from SDI companies can be sold to consumers whereby federal cash is paid for the wholesale portion of any sale and any usuryfree community currency can be accepted for any agreed upon percentage of the retail mark-up.

Your perspective is welcomed and appreciated on whatever topic interests you and/or relates to "economics" in one way or another. The UsuryFree Eye Opener is opposed to censorship on any subject. Input from usuryfree creatives is welcomed in any or all of these different ways:

(a) Participate in any of our interactive, social networking sites at Facebook, Ning and Follow "usuryfree" at Twitter.
(b) Become a elf-appointed reporter and provide the UsuryFree Eye Opener with headlines, stories, website links etc.
(c) As an active usuryfree creative contribute feature articles that expose the design flaw of usury for the evil and immoral weapon that it is and/or promote the usuryfree lifestyle as the optimal freedom experience for everyone on this planet.

NOTE: Writers must have proof of copyright of any original material submitted.

To begin the process of becoming a usuryfree creative simply visit the blog - The UsuryFree Eye Opener. You are invited to begin participating by commenting on any of the currently posted articles. Feedback, comments and suggestions in the form of compliments and/or constructive criticism. Be sure and refer your friends in cyberspace as well as your family, friends, neighbours and working colleagues. If you are so motivated, please link the UsuryFree Eye Opener to your website. We are currently exploring advertising options so that we can build a loyal network of usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs.

The UsuryFree Eye Opener requires energy - physical, financial, spiritual and otherwise, to create, maintain, improve and expand our message of mass instruction.

Thank you and welcome aboard.

2012-01-17T19:56:00.000-08:00

By Jevari Oberon

Feed your cells what they need and they will do some amazing things. If a cell is fatally damaged or even scraped away entirely, the healthy cell next to it contains the blueprint needed to replace it with a new cell. Impossible? Skeptical? It is incredible – no question about it! This amazing process is called healing. It takes place every time you are injured.

In fact, at this very moment your own immune system is destroying defective cells in every corner of your body. If it didn’t, you would soon be riddled with growing tumors. If the cells around the site of the destroyed cell didn’t work to replace it with a new one (healing) you would soon waste away. Your skin would become as thin as saran wrap within a matter of weeks.Every major and minor system of your body would begin to fail.

Individual soft tissue cells don’t live very long – only hours to months. In that fact, there is incredible opportunity. If you begin to feed a starving, malnourished or sub-optimal (undernourished) person all of the nutrients they need, the new cells coming on will be superior to the old malnourished cells they replace. If these new cells are fed well and kept clean, they will live a happier, healthier and longer life. Within a year, you can literally become a new person.

Every moment, unchecked free radicals are gnawing away at your cell’s blueprints, eroding away their ability to reproduce youthful cells. So every time a cell uses its blueprint to reproduce, there is a less accurate blueprint to work from. Therefore, each subsequent generation of cells is lacking a little something of the more youthful cells it replaces. Increasing the lifespan of individual cells by an imperceptible 10% will eventually add an extra 8 years or so to the whole person.

When your body is given very high quality materials, it doesn’t need a lot of food. It has an ability to recycle proteins, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. These things don’t just come and go. If their quality is high they are used over and over. Therefore, the higher the quality and more complete the food, the less of it you will need in order to live an optimal quality of life.

If you are eating washed-out, lifeless foods full of sugars and fats, you will need to eat a lot to feel satisfied. This over-indulgence overloads the cells with toxins. They literally start suffocating in their own waste.

So by providing the high quality construction resources ideal for building a cell, each cell is able to do a better job when it comes time to replace itself, or for it to assist in the healing process. Do you think your cells prefer ‘live’ bio-formed nutrients grown by plants, or synthetics made of ‘dead’ ground-up rock and petroleum by-products^

By keeping each cell clean of toxins and well nourished, they are able to live longer. Some scientists believe each cellular blueprint is given a ‘ticket’ with a limited number of ‘punches’ available. Every time the ticket gets punched, the blueprint becomes less and less accurate until it is finally unable to replicate. As the cells gradually reach the last punch, some essential system gives out.

The sooner you work to lengthen the life of your cells, the better. The younger you are the better. The healthier you are the better. If you wait until it is obvious you need help, there is less opportunity to optimize – there are fewer punches left on the ticket. The very best time to begin optimization is for parents to start living cleaner and better nourished lives before conception of their children. Small children, adolescents people in their 20s, 30s and 40s can benefit – and it is never too late to start. Older people and sick people often need it the most and therefore, see the most obvious results.

Unfortunately, many people don’t even consider their health until some major problem demands attention. Sadly, it is a much tougher job at that point. Damage is severe and already done. The person is weak. Healing and recovery can be slow, expensive and painful. It just makes so much more sense to inventory your health and life-style now while everything important is still working well.

Then make a commitment to good nutrition (Exsula Iridesca) every day, along with good water, rest and exercise. These are not the dreaded impossible tasks some lead us to believe. They are great! Once they become your feeling great way of life, you will never let anyone take them away.

Notes on Good Nutrition

Good nutrition means drinking half your body weight in ounces of pure spring water every day. Good nutrition will require you to adjust your diet to eliminate the five white poisons: white sugar, white flour, white shortening, white rice, and white salt. Abstain from smoking cigarettes and avoid harmful chemical additives as well as artificial sweetners such as aspartame – choose stevia instead. Minimize your consumption of processed foods, dairy products, alcohol, coffee, fried foods, fast foods, and red meats. Whatever meats you choose to eat, make an effort to find hormone-free, local, organic red meats and free-range eggs and chicken. Eat fresh water fish like pickerel, trout, perch etc. Wild salmon is preferred to the domestic salmon which is commonly fed GMO corn – how unnatural is that? Eat lots of organic vegetables – raw, steamed or juiced. Seek gluten-free breads (spelt) and cereals (quinoa, buckwheat). Various nuts and seeds are good choices (almonds, brazil nuts, sunflower & pumpkin seeds etc.) Fermented drinks such as water kefir are healthy, pro-biotic, home-made beverages.

These vitamins play key roles in maintaining optimal health and wellness: Vitamin A (beta-carotene), Vitamin B (folic acid), Vitamin B-6, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin B-15, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E
An excellent source of these vitamins (plus many other minerals, proteins, amino acids, and enzymes is available in the Exsula Iridesca product.

Exsula Iridesca - The Optimal & Perfect Superfood

2012-01-17T19:45:00.000-08:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

Exsula Iridesca is the world’s most complete and perfect food. It has a delightful, tropical, fruity taste, yet is about 1000 times as nutritious as ordinary food. Exsula Iridesca is the leading edge product of global, phytonutrient technology.

Exsula Iridesca is 100% plant-life created from nature’s living nutrient accumulator plants. The nutrients from these carefully selected plants feeds the body’s cells better and in ways they have never been fed before. This allows the cells to clean house, remodel themselves, and repair faster than destructive forces and disease are trying to erode them. Within a few months of beginning to consume Exsula Iridesca, the jubilant cells will literally have created a new body.

Exsula Iridesca goes light-years beyond the popular, commercial, casual use of the word ‘natural.’ Exsula Iridesca is in a genuinely, natural plant-life-created superfood blend compatible with anyone’s best standards for full-spectrum, phytonutrient supplementation. Exsula Iridesca is packed with hundreds of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, phytonutrients and enzymes.

Exsula Iridesca’s profound level of nutrition will only enhance the performance of other supplements, herbs or superfoods that anyone may be presently consuming. It is worthy of note to mention that most Exsula Iridesca enthusiasts find it unnecessary to continue with their previous, vast array of mediocre, supplemental products. They commonly simplify to Exsula Iridesca and perhaps a couple of their other favourite supplements. This saves health-conscious consumers hundreds of dollars a year while yielding far superior results.

Exsula Iridesca’s extraordinary, synergistic, nutritional value is inherent to its wide variety of plant concentrates. Exsula Iridesca contains no fillers, no caffeine, no sugar, no artificial sweetners, no artificial colours, no flavourings and no chemical preservatives. It replaces a cabinet full of mediocre supplements.

Every ingredient in Exsula Iridesca is selected as the freshest, most chemical-free and highest bioactivity concentrate available. With an uncompromising symphony of 150 life-created, superfood ingredients from selected crops in every continent (except Antarctica), Exsula Iridesca is a uniquely abundant superfood.

Scientists carefully monitor every stage of plant development from seed stock used in planting, to growing conditions, in order to assure optimal bioactivity and nutrition at harvest time.

Harvested plant material is quickly and carefully dehydrated at the lowest, practical temperatures. This preserves bio-electric nutrients (enzymes) in the same state of hibernation as dormant seeds. When the Exsula Iridesca is rehydrated at the time of consumption, the enzymes again become active as in the fresh juice.

The focus of Exsula Iridesca is enzymes, enzymatic pigments, trace minerals, essential fatty acids and herbal antioxidants. Conventional, retail store products have non of these expensive and rare nutrients.

Freshness is one consideration where Exsula Iridesca cannot be beaten. Another consideration of paramount importance where Exsula Irdiesca really shines in synergistic balance. Jevari Oberon, the inventor/creator of Exsula Iridesca understands nutrient-enzyme synergism and takes advantage of it to achieve the optimal potency at the lowest possible cost. Every ingredient in Exsula Iridesca directly serves the purpose of synergism and effectiveness. No fillers are ever used in the production process.

Exsula Iridesca provides numerous ingredients valued by health enthusiasts. Any attempt to duplicate Exsula Iridesca with a program of individual supplements would be cumbersome and expensive at best.

With Exsula Iridesca, if one wishes to increase one’s energy or antioxidant protection, all one has to do is take a little more. The balance remains constant. Remember, your body deserves the best. Be good to it now and it will be good to you later.

Imagine what Exsula Iridesca can do for you!

- A food so perfect, that from the first taste, your cells begin to awaken and restructure themselves according to your ideal cellular plan.
- A food so complete it provides abundant resources for your body’s every nutrient need, including the needs of all your other foods and supplements have ignored.
- A food so cleansing, decades of accumulated toxins and unwelcomed invaders are gently ushered away leaving your cells cleaner, happier and more energetic then they’ve been since you were a child.
- A food so simple to prepare, a six year old can make their own in a minute.
- A food do satisfying, it abolishes cravings for foods you have been trying to avoid and puts you back in charge of your appetite and diet.
- A food as delicious as the ultimate tropical fruit smoothie from the classiest juice bar instantly available, right in your own kitchen or office.
- A food so nutritionally powerful and synergistic that it surpasses the effectiveness of hundreds of dollars a month in supplements, conveniently replacing handfuls of pills and for a lower price that nutritionally-empty fast foods.

Order a 500 g (17.6 oz) bottle of Exsula Iridesca today. Your cost $139.00 (Canadian Funds) plus shipping and there may be customs duties applied since the product is shipped from the USA.

The Truth About an MIT Education (or Any Other)

2012-01-14T21:40:00.000-08:00

By Ferny Ceballos

"I’ve resisted writing this piece for quite a few years now, but given the times we are in, I consider myself one of the few whom has both the authority and experience to change a few minds on this subject.

And the subject being — The True Value of a Higher Education

I grew up in a poor Mexican-American family out of East Los Angeles, with parents whom both were very strict in our upbringing and valued education. At age 13, my father suddenly passed away from a stroke leaving my family to survive on a combination of Social Security benefits and my two older sister’s income working minimum wage retail jobs. This afforded me the opportunity to focus on my studies, despite the tragedy that my family endured.

Long story short, I performed well throughout high school and was accepted into the most prestigious scientific and engineering institution in the world, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

I was fortunate that I qualified for quite a few “need based” scholarships and loan programs, which all but game me a “full ride” at MIT. I graduated with $10,000 in school loans, which by today’s standards is nothing. However, many of my school mates finished their MIT education with $150,000 in school debt or more, because they weren’t deemed to need the financial aid. (Many of them will be paying these loans back for the rest of their lives.)

While at MIT, I studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, but truth be told, I did not enjoy it at all. In fact, I attended less than 10% of my classes, did a half-ass job at completing my assignments and crammed for all of my exams 2 days before I was to take them. Fortunately, I still managed to graduate with a B- GPA. I had trained my mind to absorb and learn things quickly. (A skill I’m grateful to still possess in a quickly evolving online business world).

The truth is, I did not enjoy engineering or science, but at the time I wasn’t mature enough to realize that and did the minimum to scrape by to pass my classes and graduate from MIT, rather than pursuing a field I actually cared for… (not that I would have know what to study at the time).

After graduation while working at a Defense Contractor for the US government, I had to admit to myself that I actually did not like being an engineer at all and I started to desperately look for a “way out”.

My mission in life became to figure out a way to quit my job as an aerospace engineer yet keep my close to six-figure engineering income which my family depended on. (I had relieved my sisters and contributed back to the family, so they could pursue their dreams).

After many years, which have been documented in many of my blog stories and posts on BetterNetworker.com, I was introduced into network marketing and eventually internet marketing.

While not without struggle, my salvation and financial freedom came as a result of my experience and NEW education from my mentors in both the network marketing world and internet marketing world.

Over the first few years of learning, implementation and innovation as an internet entrepreneur, my business partner and I invested over $150,000 in personal savings and credit card debt to gain access to the courses, live events, trainers, coaches and personal consultations which provided us the education to build successful internet businesses. (Today, that investment numbers is at about $300,000 as we continue to grow.)

Thankfully, over the past 3 years as internet entrepreneurs, Raymond and I have generated over $2 million dollars in revenue for ourselves and created the lifestyle we both dreamed about when we were in college (he attended Harvey Mudd College, while I attended MIT).

Interesting enough, “the dream” was sold to me at MIT – about never having to worry about my financial security and that the world would be my oyster upon graduating from this great institution. The reality, was that I became a corporate pawn, being told to work on mundane brainless tasks, forgetting the technical expertise I garnered at MIT (a true waste) and after taxes, making a mediocre income while working full-time and often overtime, doing something I loathed.

Now I don’t mean to be a snob, but the truth is, after doing as well as I did in school as a kid and graduating from the premier technical institution in the world, I expected some truly awesome things – which did NOT happen.

All in all, my MIT education cost a total of $150,000 over 4 years for my financial aid sponsors. (I’m grateful that I didn’t have to be responsible for the majority of my education like many of my school mates did.)

My education as a network marketer and internet marketer over 2 years from 2006 – 2008, between myself and Raymond, was $150,000 as well.

The difference is that my MIT education got me a job and if I had to pay the $150,000 back, it would have taken me my entire lifetime on the salary from my job.

My education as a networker and internet marketer was paid for within our 1st year as a successful online business owner and has been paying massive dividends ever since.

However, my job story is not unique in that there are plenty others who invested in a traditional education and came no where near close to re-couping their investment nor achieving the financial freedom promised to them.

The value of a formal education has severely being diminished in place of real expertise and a true passion for performing a craft. In fact, our marketing clients have never once asked me for a marketing degree before they paid us six-figures to work on their behalf.

Now the whole point of this story is that even at the highest levels, a traditional education more and more, fails to deliver on the promises of a college education. Many of my MIT school mates whom I considered to be brilliant at the least and geniuses at the upper levels, have not achieved any significant level of financial independence since graduating.

In fact, many of them I would respectfully label as “broke”, living paycheck-to-paycheck, no closer to the greatness that was promised to them when first coming to MIT. (A few have done extremely well for themselves, but those people I can count on 2 fingers… the majority of these elite minds continue to struggle.)

My hope is that people read this article and reflect on the things they believe or have been taught to believe will provide them with true financial security, because as far as I’m concerned, in this new economy, there is no financial security other than what we make for ourselves as entrepreneurs.

My only regret is that unfortunately, there are many brilliant people who remain trapped in the old way of thinking and are too proud to admit that the path they are on will only lead to struggle and frustration — especially for those that know deep down that their talents and brilliance, far exceeds what they will be compensated throughout their lives.

I remain grateful for my opportunity to attend MIT and be surrounded by geniuses and brilliant people on a daily basis. But I am under no delusion that the financial independence I enjoy today came as a result of my MIT education. However, it does make me a stronger advocate for true education reform in our lives and in this country." (snip) ...

The ONLY Thing That Matters (And Why)

A lot of people get 'hooked' and mislead into believing things are important that aren't.

Case in point.....

For whatever reason, somewhere along the line, you started to tell yourself that making the sale is not a priority.

"It will come..." you say to yourself.

Well, here's the truth that comes along with that.

Your paycheck will wait, too.

This misinformation that MANY people start convincing themselves of leads to what I like to call....

'Business Destruction' ....which then breeds the need to call in the 'Business Red Cross' - and that's when you go out and catch 'guru groupie' fever and buy
another course on 'mindset' or 'procrastination' - thus sending you into more debt and still chasing the same dragon - Which is - the sale.

It all leads back to that.

Look....learn to make the sale and this won't be a recocurring problem in your business.

Ignore it.... and you'll become another statistic on the marketing 'faceplant' list.

I'm just keeping it real :)

Solution:

Either go out and learn....

- Presentation skills
- Persuasive selling language
- Communication leverage tactics
- Hypnotic language patterns

....and a whole slew of other time consuming stuff you really don't want
to bother with (if you're honest).

Or just use this, and only focus on 1 thing.

Creating content that you enjoy and then getting traffic to your website.

Sure beats the alternative .....any day.

At least 12,643 other people think so in the last 50 days :)

The Unusual SDI Industry Born of a Need

2011-10-30T11:50:00.000-07:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

The exciting explosion in the popular SDI (Self Directed Income) sales and marketing industry is causing a re-birth of entrepreneurism and may be helping to secure our freedoms for our youth as it provides a platform for promoting and fostering unfettered free enterpriseto the masses of usually, uniformed people.

This unusual concept of sales and marketing which was born in the mid-20th Century was first referred to as multi-level marketing, a little later it was called network marketing. As this sales and marketing industry evolved some companies created new names to distinguish themselves as being different such as referral marketing and consumer direct marketing.

In the late 1990's, some experienced network marketing distributors decided that new language was needed to leave behind much of the negativity that had tainted the multi-level or network marketing industry during the latter years of the 20th Century. Consequently, it was decided that the phrase Self Directed Income (SDI) Industry would be used to describe independently owned and operated, home-based enterprises that did not rely on employees. The SDI Industry includes all kinds of direct sales and marketing business opportunities such as multi-level, network, referral and consumer direct marketing.

Dr. Forrest Shaklee (Shaklee Corporation) and Rich DeVoss and Jay VanAndel (Amway Corporation) as well as Mary Kay (Mary Kay Cosmetics Corporation) were the respected pioneers of this innovative, sales and marketing strategy. As young entrepreneurs, they were perceptive enough to know that it takes something new ... something different ... something exciting ... and something unusual to put and keep excitement in people's lives dulled by daily routines.

Now in 2011, numerous SDI, sales and marketing companies offer entrepreneurs (and becoming entrepreneurs) unusual business opportunities to earn solid sources of secondary income(s) because pioneering SDI entrepreneurs dared to be unusually different in the 1950's and 1960's. As we progress into this 21st Century, the direct selling industry strengthened by the unusual, SDI sector of sales and marketing is surpassing the growth rate of the traditional but weakening, retail store industry.

The business world - past, present or future - never has and likely never will witness a sales and marketing strategy even remotely comparable to the unusual birth and growth of the various, successful models of this mutually-beneficial and well-positioned industry where true power is blended from both the top and the bottom of the respective pyramidal structures.

Consider that the "home office" SDI company distributes products and/or services down the pyramid and we - the SDI entrepreneurs - give the "home office" SDI company power from the bottom when we purchase and market any of the selected products and/or services. In summary, value flows down the pyramidal structure and in response, power flows up the pyramidal structure. When the ratio of value to power is distorted - any pyramidal-shaped structure is destined to collapse.

Like an electrical current running through the faltering and failing economic system of usury-based, debt money, the SDI industry offers business opportunities that rejeuvenate, regenerate, restore and give a new lease on life to countless debtors who have been suffering from financial oppression by the “usury elites” - the influential and wealthy one percent of the population, to whom we have voluntarily surrendered our individual leadership and power.

While it is commonly agreed that the "home office" of the Amway Corporation in Ada, Michigan led the way with this innovative, sales and marketing strategy during the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's, since then, numerous other eager entrepreneurs have surfaced and are venturing into the blossoming world of the SDI industry and setting up new and improved copies of the original SDI sales and marketing models. Each participating "home office" company in the SDI industry usually offers exclusive lines of products and/or services to the retail market through networks or teams of SDI entrepreneurs who indirectly wholesale to their personally and group enrolled SDI entrepreneurs while directly retailing to a select, few, retail customers.

Most SDI entrepreneurs run their enterprise (part-time or full time) from an office in their home. Indeed, the SDI industry was born of the unusual need for part-time, sceondary income(s) by people from all walks of life. SDI networks or teams offer individuals lucrative, business opportunities with all the usual, tax benefits (and some unusual benefits) of out-of-reach businesses as well as unlimited, worldwide, growth potential.

An independent, SDI enterprise grows in an unusual fashion as part of a team or network. People (singles, couples or business partnerships) must be enrolled (sponsored) by a previously enrolled, SDI entrepreneur who is now operating a bonafide, SDI enterprise of his/her own. Each newly enrolled SDI entrepreneur is authorized to purchase products and/or services at discount (wholesale) prices from the "home office" SDI company. They commonly retail some of these products and/or services to a small number of preferred customers and/or otherwise consume these products for personal, family or business needs.

During the 20th Century, it was common for an already enrolled SDI entrepreneur to order extra products to have a supply on hand as immediate inventory. Now, in this 21st Century, given the ease of modern technology, SDI entrepreneurs are no longer required to carry any inventory as each newly enrolled, SDI entrepreneur is commonly assigned a replicating website and a back office with wholesale, ordering privileges. Their preferred, retail customers are invited to order directly from the website by clicking on the "shopping cart" icon, thereby eliminating the need for SDI entrepreneurs to invest in a large inventory.

Those SDI entrepreneurs who choose to build a bigger and more profitable enterprise, prospect and enrol other would-be-entrepreneurs and teach them to multiply and duplicate their efforts. Indeed, multiple thousands of SDI entrepreneurs are building profitable enterprises that are continually growing through multiplication and duplication of individual effort.

The SDI industry offers unique and innovative business opportunities with an initial investment that is often less than $500. (Canadian Funds). Such a low investment, start-up opens the door in almost every country of the free world, so that every man, woman, youth (over 18) who wants to become an SDI entrepreneur and run an independent enterprise of their own - can do so but not be alone.

Additionally, by way of the vehicle of the SDI industry, the masses are being offered a unique opportunity to learn much about economics and human nature that formal education neglects to teach. Many SDI entrepreneurs are evolving through personal growth and recognizing that it has been their ignorance and apathy that has allowed "monopoly capitalism" to infiltrate and out-muscle "free enterprise" in its purest form. Some leadership teams of SDI entrepreneurs are offering workshops/seminars to teach their participating members the “truth” about modern money creation - such unusual topics are not taught within our walls of formal education.

Learning about real-life, economic experiences of active, SDI entrepreneurs and blending this information with some additional, researched material about modern money creation enlightens people to be more fully aware of each one of us can do to accelerate the shifting, economic paradigm. In addition to this essential, background information, fixing a possible dream, setting a goal and working hard are still the essential pre-requisites, for success as an SDI entrepreneur.

SDI entrepreneurs seek to free themselves from the usual, financial worries so that they can be at ease as they assume unusual, leadership roles in the ongoing, information war to take our country back from the one percenters.

The ninety-nine percenters began their crusade to take our country back from the one percenters with the launch of “Occupy Wall Street” on September 17th, 2011. Hopefully, many of these ninety-nine percenters will discover the SDI industry as they search for timely solutions to take our country back from the one percenters.

During the transition period - that time when one is learning to shift from an employee mentality to an entrepreneurial mind-set - a process of awareness takes place as experienced SDI entrepreneurs expose newcomers to the pscyhological realm of self-image and self respect - two necessary qualities required to succeed as an SDI entrepreneur.

With its multiple missions, this giant but seemingly unknown, SDI industry may well be the ultimate saviour of free enterprise and the catalyst that will eventually crush "monopoly capitalism" as deviously engineered by the one percenters and ultimately play a key role in preserving our ultimate freedoms.

Some of the one percenters (the people currently in power) are very uncomfortable with the unprecedented growth of this bold, new, free enterprise movement - the SDI industry. Some militant labour union leaders, some politicians, some government bureaucrats, and some corporate executives of the capitalist monopolies are unusually critical and skeptical of the SDI industry.

Are the SDI entrepreneurs being targeted and criticized for re-educating the ninety-nine percenters on the simple issues of economics which are usually presented as being unusually complex by governments, labour unions and big corporations - the wealthy one percenters in power who have been plundering the masses by maximizing their selfish and greedy agendas? Indeed, the SDI industry is well positioned to take a leading role in re-educating those who are ready and willing to be re-educated.

As in previous years, the UsuryFree Network has designated November 13th to 19th, 2011, as the Seventh Annual UsuryFree Week. A number of functions will be scheduled to focus on the miserable failings of our orthodox, economic system of usury-based, debt money and the triumphant successes of the usuryfree, community currency movement.

SDI entrepreneurs are particularly well-positioned to play a key role in helping to usher in new economic models as they have access to prodeucts and/or services at wholesalse prices. These products and/or services can be marketed to consumers and the buyers can negotiate trades or exchanges whereby they use a portion of any usuryfree community currency in combination with a percentage of federal cash to complete their transactions.

SDI entrepreneurs (everywhere) are cordially invited to attend and participate at any of these events. It is important for SDI entrepreneurs to "learn what they don't know they don't know" so that they will be re-educated and prepared to share any new knowledge with their respective teams/networks of active, SDI entrepreneurs.

New Language, Great Names and Unknown Names in the SDI Industry

2011-10-25T13:51:00.000-07:00

Permit me to clarify the evolution of words and phrases that are applicable to this growing and popular industry of home-based
enterprises. The pioneers who launched the initial home-based enterprises in the mid-20th Century commonly referred to this budding sales and marketing industry as multi-level marketing. During the latter years of the 20th Century, the majority of the home-based entrepreneurs who were operating part-time and/or full time enterprises chose to refer to the evolving industry of home-based enterprises as network marketing.

The term "referral marketing" was used by some people to describe this marketing model and one particular company that was founded in the 1980's chose to use the term "consumer direct marketing" so as to distance itself from the negativity associated with multi-level or network marketing.

However, during the latter years of the 20th Century, the majority of the home-based entrepreneurs who were operating part-time and/or full time enterprises chose to refer to the evolving industry of home-based enterprises as "network marketing" while others preferred the terms "consumer direct marketing" or "referral marketing."

Around the turn of the Century, a group of experienced network marketing distributors elected to create some new language (words and phrases) for the ever-expanding network marketing industry, thereby leaving behind and previous, negative associations or experiences associated with the multi-level and/or network marketing industry during its birthing years of the 20th Century. The phrase (SDI) Self Directed Income industry was crafted to describe any home-based, owner-operated enterprise (part-time or full time) - thereby including multi-level marketing, network marketing as well as other more
conventional, direct sales marketing concepts.

Other words were crafted to enhance the growth and development of the SDI industry. For example, since "upline" denotes power over "downline" the words "team" or "network' are recommended. The words "enrolled with" are preferred to previous words such as "recruited by" or "sponsored under." To be "enrolled with" another SDI entrepreneur is more empowering for any new enrollee, than to be "sponsored under" another SDI entrepreneur.

Now, as we progress into this 21st Century, the phrase SDI industry is becoming the phrase of choice to describe any home-based, sales and marketing enterprise. It is now not uncommon for an SDI entrepreneur to have an SDI Portfolio whereby s/he earns income(s) from more than one source - given the variety of online SDI opportunties that can function with the innovative tools of social networking.

Our exponentially expanding world of SDI entrepreneurs has a history of being impressed by "great names" or "big names" who join a particular SDI opportunity or who otherwise support or endorse a selected SDI opportunity. To drop a "big name" to our prospects or to our "team depth" has commonly been a status symbol among active, SDI entrepreneurs both at the fringe and at the higher levels of achievement.

While some observers consider "name dropping" as nothing more than petty manoeuvering within the SDI industry, others beyond the SDI industry, accept that the action of "name dropping" demonstrates a learned belief common to all persons under 18, over 85, or somewhere in between. In any case, it seems that names are of the utmost importance to SDI leadership teams as well as potential prospects. Indeed, countless thousands of competing, SDI entrepreneurs continue to feel the need to drop the "big names" enrolled with their particular organization or team.

Historically, one of the biggest names of all in the SDI industry during the 20th Century was Dexter Yager - whose Amway empire - at one time in the early 1980's, was probably the largest (though not necessarily the most profitable) SDI organization in the world. Another current "big name" in the SDI industry is Ed Bestoso who is commonly referred to as "Melaleuca's most succesful Marketing Executive and only Corporate Director VI."

When Dexter Yager, at his prime as an active, SDI entrepreneur, summoned an Amway distributor to an audience with him, it was almost certain that the person would respond and make special arrangements to be present at the appointed time. Even if the requested meeting was to be scheduled at a very inopportune time, the average Amway distributor would re-arrange his/her schedule so as to be present when the "guru" of the SDI industry spoke. Likewise, now in 2011, when Ed Bestoso
summons a Melaleuca distributor to an audience with him, it almost certain that the Melaleuca distributor would make a great effort to be present.

As I recall, in the early 1980's, these same Amway distributors - many of them personal friends or acquaintances - were very unco-operative indeed, when LEADS hosted a seminar with an "unknown name" as a guest speaker. It did not seem to matter that the "unknown name" has very significant information to share - if it was not coming from a "big name" in the particular SDI organization of Amway distributors - it was not considered as important.

Since 2000, the UsuryFree Network has hosted a number of meetings/gatherings with so-called "unknown names" as guest speakers on timely topics relevant to our worsening, economic crisis and numerous SDI entrepreneurs have been invited to attend BUT until the present, few have bothered to attend. The difference - a name - that is all.

Names, by tradition, apparently do make a difference in the SDI industry and otherwise. The significance of a name, especially in the SDI industry, cannot be over-estimated at this critical time when competing SDI companies are making great gains with the unsponsored millions.

In many of the seasoned, SDI networks, names commonly had a tremendous significance. It has been suggested that a new enrollee within the Amway organizations who did not quickly understand the significance of names of higher level achievers in Amway, never did gain a basic understanding of the proven, Amway marketing plan.

As the SDI industry continues to evolve, grow and expand with numemrous competitors, the "big name" of a high achiever id often used with unique offensive (or is it defensive) power. The really good news is that "unknown names" are now commanding respect and a significant following because of their unique knowledge of "co-operative enterprise" and "real-life experiences" whereby evidence shows that the "generosity factor" is outweighing the "greed factor." It is noteworthy that the "greed factor" is commonly identified as the key reason for much of the negativity formerly associated with the network marketing industry of the latter years of the 20th Century.

Rich Joyal, a so-called "unknown name," is a dedicated and experienced SDI entrepreneur who is building an SDI Portfolio with income(s) from more than one source. I know that Rich has at least two (maybe more) SDI opportunities in his SDI Portfolio. One is Great Life International which markets the product Vidacell - a cellular food, and the other is GemFortunes which markets an amythest stone and a series of technology products. Since Rich is on my team with both of these SDI opportunities, I have observed that he consistently reaches out to share his co-operative spirit with prospective and active, SDI entrepreneurs - whether or not they are directly enrolled in his particular SDI network.

This idea of co-operating with other SDI entrepreneurs who in fact may be considered as "competitors" is unique indeed, however, there is much, mutual benefit to gain when like-minded, SDI entrepreneurs embrace the co-operative spirit, rather than selfishly hanging on to what they think is the competitive edge.

While I do not deny that using Dexter Yager's name in the 1980's made things happen at that time for the various Amway organizations, I am very pleased that more and more "unknown names" are making innovative and exciting things happen with people who had previously been turned off the SDI industry by their costly experiences as multi-level marketers or network marketers - mostly victims of the "greed factor." In addition, the unsponsored millions are intrigued and motivated when
they learn about the evolving SDI industry and the benefits of free enterprisers co-operating for mutual gain.

In the final analysis, it does not matter whether you are a "big name" or a "great name" or an "unknown name," it matters only that as an active, free enterpriser you NEVER knock the competition. Instead, study the competition and consider carefully the advantages of either buying a competitors products and/or services or of adding other exclusive, quality products and/or services to your present SDI Portfolio. Ask your team leaders questions and then question their answers. Blend the best of the best.

Know that "unknown names" today will become "great names" tomorrow. Remember that your "prospects" and your "team depth" know you personally as a freedom loving, free enterpriser. Let it be known also that they only learn the "great names" through your experience and knowledge as an "unknown name."

We invite readers to frequent the blog - The SDI Eye Opener - so that you will acquire sufficient knowledge to metamorphosize from an "unknown name" to a "great name" in an unconventional manner.

Occupy Your Mind - A Personal Strategy For Usury Evasion

2011-10-12T17:15:00.000-07:00

Occupy Wall Street began in mid-September, triggered by prompting from Adbusters. A few hundred protestors gather in New York City in the proximity of Wall Street, to complain about our orthodox, financial system and how it breeds "corporate greed" and ballooning "corporate profits." One of their chants or mantras is: "We have to stop being a debt economy and go back to being a production economy." Since September 17th, the Occupy Wall Street movement has grown and expanded far beyond Wall Street to Y'all Streets in numerous cities all across North America and elsewhere on this planet.

In fact, North America has lost its production economy because of the design flaw of usury and how it directly and/or indirectly affects every product purchased by consumers - whether it be a hair pin or an airplane. Few people really understand that it is because of our usury-based, debt money system that the majority of the trans-national corporations have moved their production facilities to Asia or elsewhere in the third world where they can exploit labourers, pay them minimal wages and earn more profits for the corporation and its shareholders.

Indeed, the ultimate problem is not debt, rather it is the growth of debt - which is caused by the design flaw of usury. Though greed and excess by governments and the giant, trans-national corporations are symptoms, the root cause of the ever-worsening, economic debacle of debtors (individuals, families, small to medium-sized businesses, corporations, institutions and countries) everywhere is revealed as usury - but this is unknown to 99% of the protestors who chant: "We are the 99%, we will no longer remain silent."

The phenomenon of the growth of debt is caused by the evil and immoral effects of the design flaw of usury. The negative stigma surrounding burgeoning debt is leading many debtors to commit the ultimate gesture of despair - suicide. The stark truth is that debtors are becoming devastated by the negative impact of "interest" - which ought to be correctly called "usury."

Recent statistics reveal 4000+ suicides annually in Canada. The highest percentage of these suicides are committed by males (debtors) who range in age from 40 to 50 years.Their desperate acts of suicide are often financiallly motivated and their actions inflict even more pain and suffering on the loved ones they leave behind.

The economic crisis the Occupy Wall Street movement is bringing into focus cannot be understated, nor can we overstate the necessity of offering proven and workable solutions to solve the inter-connected problems of war, violence, poverty, scarcity and lack - all associated either directly and/or indirectly with the design flaw of usury.

Occupy Wall Street is a vehicle motivating people (debtors) to action. A personal strategy of we-the-people learning how to crete and spend our own usuryfree community currency, must be introduced and implemented by desperate debtors as they seek workable and proven solutions for temporary, usury prevention and ultimately absolute, usury evasion. What is needed with this personal strategy is a re-education process that promotes self-imposed courses of study on topics that formal education neglects to teach,

While Occupying Wall Street or any other streets, debtors are encouraged to "Occupy Your Mind" with the truth about modern money creation and the problems associated with "usury" and add some solution-oriented knowledge and resources about entrepreneurism - the SDI (Self Directed Income) style where they can learn about co-operative networking to earn secondary sources of income(s).

A good starting point is for debtors to familiarize themselves with the twin blogs: (a) The UsuryFree Eye Opener and (b) The SDI Eye Opener.

Ultimately, for suicide rates to be halted and for something positive to evolve from the Occupy Wall Street movement, usury nust be studied, assessed, exposed and abolished. The abolition of usury begins with a nod to the possibility of usuryfree living in this incarnation. Previously, there was "Life Without Usury" and we can experience "UsuryFree Living" again in this 21st Century.

Hopefully, the Occupy Wall Street movement will motivate protestors (debtors) to explore trends that can expand their understanding of their legal right to "evade usury" and "avoid taxes." With sufficient new knowledge, the majority of debtors will be motivated to become active, usuryfree creatives who double as enthusiastic, SDI entrepreneurs.

So "Occupy Your Mind" and commence your personal strategy for temporary, usury prevention and eventual usury evasion.

Box 9333, Ottawa, Ontario K1G 3V1, or send an email to usuryfree@gmail.com with "Occupy Your Mind:" in the Subject line - or leave telephone message at this number: 1.888. NOUSURY

Tony Hsieh – Don’t Network, Build Relationships

2011-10-12T16:00:00.000-07:00

From Jonathan Kennedy's blog:

Jonathan writes:

"I say that I read a lot of books but the truth is, I really only ”start” many. I have a passion for sports, business and the web so rarely does my choice of books go beyond those topics. I’ve made efforts to read more fiction but I never get through 30 pages, unless the book somehow relates to an entrepreneur or a sports setting.

I’ve been the busiest I have ever been since landing in Cebu, but still finding time to browse books and read here and there. I’ve had my eye on Tony Hsieh’s book ”Delivering Happiness” for almost a year but it was just another book on the list. Tony Hsieh is the CEO of Zappos, which sold to Amazon for a vulgar amount of cash. I came across the book at a local book store and picked it up for under $10.

The timing on this read is impeccable – I won’t ruin the book for anyone, but if you have ever dreamed of being an entrepreneur and authoring your own life experiences, Tony details the most important (and the most trying) parts of his personal development and the growth of his companies.

Chapter after chapter – he seems to be hitting home with his stories, making me truly open to his advice. The fact that he has experienced many of the same types of setbacks that we are currently living as a small startup is reassuring, knowing where he has ended up.

Here is an excerpt from the book – "On Networking."

From Delivering Happiness: A Path to Passion, Profits and Purpose by Tony Hsieh

"I personally really dislike “business networking” events. At almost every one of these events, it seems like the goal is to walk around and find people to trade business cards with, with the hope of meeting someone who can help you out in business and in exchange you can help that person out somehow. I generally try to avoid those types of events, and I rarely carry any business cards around with me.

Instead, I really prefer to focus on just building relationships and getting to know people as just people, regardless of their position in the business world or even if they’re not from the business world. I believe that there’s something interesting about anyone and everyone — you just have to figure out what that something is. If anything, I’ve found that it’s more interesting to build relationships with people that are not in the business world because they almost always can offer unique perspectives and insights, and also because those relationships tend to be more genuine.

If you are able to figure out how to be truly interested in someone you meet, with the goal of building up a friendship instead of trying to get something out of that person, the funny thing is that almost always, something happens later down the line that ends up benefiting either your business or yourself personally.

I don’t really know why this happens or why it works, but it seems that the benefit from getting to know someone on a personal level usually happens 2-3 years after you started working on building the relationship. And it’s usually something that you could not have possibly predicted would have happened at the beginning of the relationship. For example, maybe your friend’s sister’s neighbor was just hired as the VP of a company that you’ve been trying to get in touch with, or maybe someone you met 2 years ago now has a new tennis partner who would be the perfect person for that job opening you’ve been trying to fill for the past 6 months.

Zappos.com has been around for over 10 years now. We grew from no sales in 1999 to over $1 billion in gross merchandise sales in 2008. In looking back at the major turning points in the history of the company, it seems that most of them were the result of pure luck. Things happened that we could not have possibly predicted, but they were the result of relationships that we had started building 2-3 years earlier.

So my advice is to stop trying to “network” in the traditional business sense, and instead just try to build up the number and depth of your friendships, where the friendship itself is its own reward. The more diverse your set of friendships are, the more likely you’ll derive both personal and business benefits from your friendships later down the road. You won’t know exactly what those benefits will be, but if your friendships are genuine, those benefits will magically appear 2-3 years later down the road." (snip) ...

Co-operation Through Collaboration With Compensation

2011-10-11T19:56:00.000-07:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

The usuryfree lifestyle rejects competition and collusion and promotes a new model of innovative co-operation through collaboration with compensation - within the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry.

While fostering free enterprise, we - the SDI entrepreneurs - must raise the level of professionalism in the SDI industry by re-educating novice and seasoned, SDI entrepreneurs about modern money creation and its lies, deceits and deceptions.

We must strive to shift the consciousness of the debtors so that "usuryfree living" becomes just as mainstream as "living with usury" is and has been throughout the centuries.

Indeed, it is time to create our own loyal database of SDI entrepreneurs who double as usuryfree creatives. We-the-people must learn how to negotiate trades/exchanges of our skills, talents, products and/or services so that all who choose to participate can reap the mutual benefits. By so doing we can supplement our diminishing amounts of usury-based, debt money and focus on paying off any outstanding debts as it is the growth of the debt that causes the severe, economic pain.

In the process, re-education can be offered on a variety of topics such as health and wellness, alternative energy, spirituality, etc.

How do we start to grow this loyal database of like-minded thinkers? The process is underway - we have chosen the GemFortunes SDI opportunity as a starting point to build an online, databse of usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs.

Becoming FREE of Usury Terrorists

2011-10-11T19:48:00.000-07:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

The voice of usuryfree creatives who reject usury and their (the usurers') New World Order, so far has been sorely missing from the ongoing demonstrations about "Occupy Wall Street." Most people do not realize that the cutbacks and the ever-present shortage of funds can be directly and/or indirectly attributed to the design flaw of usury and its evil and immoral effects on debtors everywhere.

The awakening of the masses may help to shatter the silence about the lies, deceit and deception about modern money creation. Currently, we are hearing from countless middle-class Americans and Canadians like myself and my family.

The awakened ones are rejecting the erosion of freedom and the intrusion of the police state. They are sick and tired of being over-taxed while the exacting of usury and payments of rising taxes diminish their monthly earnings. They are sick and tired of usury and usurious service charges on their debit cards and credit cards - thereby creating record profits for banking corporations.

They are sick and tired of the relentless attempts by Big Brother to shore up their cash by instilling fear in merchants so that they are afraid to accept larger denomination bills ($50. And $100.) as payment for products and/or services. And they are especially sick and tired of politicians at the municipal, provincial and federal levels of government forsaking leadership - and selling out to the hidden agendas of the usury elites.

In summary, they are sick and tired of being financially enslaved, foreclosed upon, bankrupted, unemployed, destitute and dispossessed when their property is being seized. They correctly view their earnings or money as their property as well as their material possessions.

Eleven years into this 21st Century, we the usuryfree creative and the "becoming" usuryfree creative who are awakening are vowing to spend our money differently to achieve a different result. Our plans for a national network of home-based and small to medium-sized, community businesses nudges the door open to initiate "barter and trade" within our own, loyal database whereby each of us will create and spend our own usuryfree time currency.

Indeed, the time may be now, that we-the-people are prepared to break the cycle of oppression now that usuryfree creative have identified "usury" as the killer machine that keeps debtors financially enslaved to creditors for generation after generation. To fully understand the enslaving effect of the design flaw of usury, we must understand a few things. What is usury? What is its function? Who is really in control of the usury machinery? What can we do to effect change NOW?

What is usury? Usury is the correct word to define "interest" on debt - as exacted on the debtor by the creditor. Usury is never created and put into circulation simultaneously when any loan or mortgage is issued. But usury is exacted as a monthly fee, payable to the creditor by the debtor.

The function of usury is to directly legalize plunder by stealing the wealth from we-the-people - the debtors. The global banking cartel (syndicate) is really in control of the usury machinery. The creditors are rich and the debtors are poor BUT we have the potential to change that. We can make change happen by making conscious decisions to spend our money differently. Permit me to clearly explain the problem and then I will focus on the solution.

Contrary to popular belief, money for consumer loans and mortgages is not borrowed from depositors' funds. For every new personal loan, vehicle loan or mortgage (the principal) is created out of nothing by the stroke of a banker's pen because the federal government has given bankers a license to do so.

The rate of usury that is exacted on the loan is never directly created, therefore the usury rate percentage as demanded by the banker is never issued into our orthodox, economic system of debt money. Consequently, there is forever a shortage or money, and the total debt can never be re-paid. Instead, more money is always borrowed into existence and the debt grows exponentially - keeping all debtors (individuals, families, businesses, and governments) in financial bondage to creditors for generation after generation.

It is important to understand that if one (debtor) individual or business is fortunate to be able to earn sufficient money to pay back the "principal" plus the "interest" or "usury" it follows that another debtor will be short of funds and face bankruptcy or foreclosure. This is the reality of the design flaw of usury - the killer machine within our orthodox, economic system of debt money. There is simply not enough money circulating in the monetary system for the sum of all our loans to be paid back, therefore, new loans are always invited and required.

We-the-people - the debtors - are playing in a usurious game of financial chairs whereby we are all scrambling to earn sufficient debt money to pay our "usury" and "taxes" while the system teaches us to try to take advantage of each other to earn that little extra to ensure our financial survival.

We have come to accept that "selfish gratification" at the expense of others is acceptable in this vicious cycle. The shortage of funds that causes debt slavery and permeates every level of society is directly related to the evil function of "usury" - and it is everywhere.

Our current "usury-based" economic system of debt money is immoral and genocidal. it is time to change it NOW by making a conscious choice to spend our money differently - within home-based enterprises and/or with small to medium-sized businesses in our respective, local communities.

We-the-people must create our own loyal databases and encourage astute consumers to purchase our goods and services from within these loyal databases. By committing to do so, we can revive the concept of "bartering and trading" for the mutual benefit of all who choose to participate. After all, why shoild we-the-people keep using their (the bankers') money and keep paying them a fee (usury) when we can now create and spend our own money for FREE?

We can create our own personal, usuryfree time currency. It has been suggested that we value one hour of time for basic, unskilled labour at a value equivalent to $12.00(Canadian Fuunds). By covering our wholesale costs with federal cash and agreeing to accept a portion of our profit margins with a usuryfree time currency - which will be accpeted by others in our inter-connected, loyal networks - we will be empowering ourselves and re-building our respective, local communities.

We-the-people can effect the change we envision NOW by making a conscious decision to spend our money differently in 2011 and beyond. As a consumer, you are invited to make a commitment to spend a minimum $100. on monthly purchases of products from home-based enterprise(s) - either your own or from someone you know who has a home-based enterprise in the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry.

This is money that you are currently spending anyways with the giant, trans-national, retail corporations to support your lifestyle, so you will be simply making an informed choice to spend this amount of money differently. There is no additional expense to simply switch your shopping habits to shop-at-home and there are many benefits available to those who choose to become active in the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry.

Find out more about home-based enterprise(s), in general and about the SDI industry, in particular by sending an email to: tom@cyberclass.net with "home-based enterprise(s)" or "SDI industry" in the Subject line.

SDI Entrepreneur University - “Education 101”

2011-09-25T22:28:00.000-07:00

Backgrounder:

Since the content of this brief article is mainly generic in nature, SDI entrepreneurs in general are invited to read it and share any concepts that may help their respective, teams of SDI entrepreneurs achieve greater success in this unique sales and marketing industry.

The specific intent of this brief article from the SDI Entrepreneur University, is to educate and motivate the “usuryfree” team of SDI entrepreneurs who are building a Portfolio of SDI opportunities - of which the Gemfortunes, SDI opportunity is a part.

The SDI Portfolio:

The “usuryfree” team supports the concept of having an SDI Portfolio - that is a Portfolio of business opportunities from within the SDI industry that will guarantee that as an active SDI entrepreneur, one will earn income(s) from more than one source.

Some creative, SDI entrepreneurs support this innovative idea - especially now that so many SDI opportunities can be networked with social media technology on the internet. Other SDI entrepreneurs are reluctant to advocate building an SDI Portfolio for fear of having their main source of income terminated because of the "fine print" in the distributor contract as printed by the “home office” of their main, income earning, SDI opportunity.

The “usuryfree” team cautions all - seasoned and novice - SDI entrepreneurs to verify the position of the “home office” of their main, income earning, SDI opportunity towards the concept of building an SDI Portfolio, before adding additional SDI opportunities to their “Single” SDI Portfolio. Too often, an SDI entrepreneur finds him/herself terminated by a “home office” whose fine print in the original, distributor contract grants such misplaced authority which contradicts the spirt of true “free enterprise.”

The SDI Industry:

The SDI (Self Directed Income) industry thrives and grows when the “team concept” is advocated and promoted for the right reason - the mutual benefit of everyone who is participating as a team member (SDI entrepreneur). Implementing the “team concept” is essential for the ultimate success of the model of “co-operative enterprise.”

Promoting the concept of any successful “team” must not be an ego adventure for those who initiate and advocate the “team concept.” The element of “greed” which is so common in the traditional, model of “competitive enterprise” must be completely removed from the more, innovative model of “co-operative enterprise” - which is becoming the model of choice in the SDI industry.

SDI Entrepreneurs and Teamwork

Each newly enrolled, SDI entrepreneur must commit to becoming competent and well versed in his/her selected niche - depending upon the talents, skills, energy, money etc. that s/he brings to the SDI team or network. Internal contracts can be negotiated with participating SDI entrepreneurs, depending on one’s areas of expertise.

However, each participating SDI entrepreneur must commit to work independently to support the goals of the team. Deadbeats seeking a “free lunch” slow down the progress of any team of SDI entrepreneurs.

Obviously, every SDI entrepreneur who is serious about earning secondary sources of income(s) must commit to being totally responsible for his/her respective, business centres within the larger structure of building and maintaining a growing SDI Portfolio.

The marketing - advertising and prospecting - for any new, SDI business may become a co-operative venture shouldered by those leading SDI entrepreneurs who have the high-tech skills and talents to attract such new, SDI business. However, the participating SDI entrepreneurs must commit to doing the work to close the sales, coach the newest enrollees and be willing to pay an agreed upon fee for any ongoing, advertising expenses.

As mentioned above, interactive contracts, with agreed upon referral fees can be negotiated between participating SDI entrepreneurs, whose honesty and integrity is impeccable and without blemish. This formula for SDI teams can work optimally when SDI team leaders eliminate the “greed and ego” factors from the equation and wholeheartedly embrace the model of “co-operative enterprise.”

Motivation and Coaching:

Being involved with an SDI, business opportunity is the first step towards the pursuit of self-motivation and team-motivation. A desire for any SDI entrepreneur to learn blossoms with the initial exposure to any SDI, business opportunity, especially when the participating team demonstrates not only motivation but a high standard of business ethics.

SDI entrepreneur coaching SDI entrepreneur is one of the most effective teaching/learning models to for leading SDI networks to implement within their prospective leaders. To coach optimally is to “multiply and duplicate” your efforts for the mutual benefit of all who are participating.

In the SDI industry, the sales and marketing teams have a common goal and all SDI entrepreneurs who are participating are expected to give input (talents, skills, energy, time, money etc.) to accelerate the process of achieving individual and collective goals.

To be a motivated, SDI entrepreneur is to set an agreed upon standard of success that is achievable for those who choose to follow. SDI entrepreneurs must learn to be responsible for their individual and specific input for the mutual benefit of the team.

Committed, SDI entrepreneurs must display a positive attitude that says “together, this is our mission” and this replaces any worldly, negative attitudes that commonly “shift the blame to others, rather than ones-self” for perceived underachievement or misunderstandings.

Positive, peer pressure can also be a highly motivating force for committed SDI entrepreneurs, since most SDI entrepreneurs have a natural desire to become an achiever as they shift their focus from a wage-earning mentality to a true entrepreneurial mentality.

“Becoming,” SDI entrepreneurs are both students and teachers at the same time. This inter-changing of roles continually expands the knowledge of both “students and teachers” while instilling a inherent desire to learn more about concepts and ideas that can be implemented for the mutual benefit of the team.

SDI entrepreneurs’ experiences and their corresponding lessons are commonly remembered, discussed and passed along as credible stories in the SDI industry.

Creating a relaxed environment, where SDI entrepreneurs are cordially invited to ask questions, refines coaching methods to the current needs of those SDI entrepreneurs who are motivated to participate. This interaction can take place in real life and/or in cyberspace given the ease of social networking in this 21st Century.

Sharing positive experiences builds a positive, communal, peer pressure and this in turn builds self-esteem and a sense of pride eventually follows for the individual, SDI entrepreneur as well as for the SDI team’s ultimate success.

Teamwork with the Gemfortunes SDI Opportunity:

Specifically referring to the Gemfortunes, SDI opportunity as a leading business opportunity in the Portfolio of various “usuryfree creatives,” we are thrilled to have the “richgfteam” as our team leader for the “usuryfree” team and any other teams that may follow.

The “richgfteam” does a commendable job of networking selected, SDI opportunities such as the Gemfortunes, SDI opportunity with the “usuryfree” team as well as with other participating teams within the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity.

The “usuryfree” team is grateful to the “richgfteam” which has access to an abundance of potential, award-winning, SDI specialists who offer unparalleled skills and knowledge specific to the SDI industry.

The “richgfteam” does a great job of promoting the spirit of “co-operative enterprise” with the “usuryfree” team, and the online, marketing tips they provide their participating SDI entrepreneurs, is exceptional.

The daily activity of the “richgfteam” is remarkable and their overall performance is excellent from the perspective of SDI entrepreneurs enrolled with the “usuryfree” team.

Indeed, Rich Longjoy, founder of the “richgfteam,” is a seasoned, SDI entrepreneur and a great representative of the “usuryfree” team (and other teams) who follow him through the “cycles” of the Gemfortunes sales and marketing plan. Rich’s passion for networking with the SDI industry is obvious and his determination to help others achieve their goals is a powerful and envied component of the success of those who work with him.

It is noteworthy that Rich is also a seasoned, “usuryfree creative” who actively supports the mission of the UsuryFree Network - “to actively promote the concept of a usuryfree lifestyle for everyone on planet earth.”

We - as committed usuryfree creatives who double as active, SDI entrepreneurs are always searching for novice and seasoned, SDI entrepreneurs, so that our dream of experiencing a usuryfree lifestyle can become a reality not only for ourselves, but for all debtors.

Co-operation Rather Than Competition

2011-09-24T21:34:00.000-07:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

Backgrounder:

In the mid-1960’s, I began my career as an elementary school teacher and set out on my life’s journey satisfied to survive with a salaried income as I married and began to raise a family. Little did I know of the future twists and turns my life would take in this incarnation.

In the late 1970’s, I was introduced to what was known then as the multi-level or network marketing industry through the Amway business opportunity - one of the pioneering, part-time, opportunities of the industry. I have a statement etched in my mind spoken by Rich DeVoss, one of the co-founders of the Amway Corporation. I heard this statement at the first Amway meeting I attended in the spring of 1979, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Rich DeVoss said and I paraphrase: “This industry has the potential to market everything from hairpins to airplanes.” Indeed, Rich DeVoss’s vision has proven to be on target.

I quickly recognized the power and potential of this innovative, sales and marketing strategy, but over the years, I have been dismayed at the number of charlatans whose greedy actions tainted this almost, perfect, marketing model. In an effort to leave behind the negative images associated with multi-level and network marketing and move forward with renewed vigour and new visions, myself and other associates in the industry created another name - the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry.

During the 1980’s, I pursued free enterprise on a part-time basis with an SDI enterprise, while continuing my full time career as an elementary school teacher and my role as a husband and father of three children. In the early 1980’s, I was also fortunate to learn the “truth” about modern, money creation and how the design flaw of usury is the killer machine that keeps debtors in financial bondage to creditors for generation after generation.

As well, in the 1980’s I was introduced to the usuryfree community currency movement. I learned that by simply introducing a usuryfree software to replace the malfunctioning, usury-bearing software used in our orthodox, economic system, everyone on planet earth could potentially experience a usuryfree lifestyle.

For almost 30 years, I have held the vision and worked towards twinning the best aspects of the SDI industry with the optimal elements of the usuryfree community currency movement to initiate a proven and workable, co-operative model of free enterprise where all participants would be winners - potentially living a usuryfree lifestyle.

Over the years, I have written numerous letters to CEO’s of leading “home office” companies in the SDI industry suggesting creative ideas to implement, but as of this present date no “home office” of a leading SDI company has responded with a positive intent to implement any of the suggested concepts.

I have often been told that my ideas are creative BUT there is not sufficient political will to motivate conventional entrepreneurs who are still holding on to the “competitive model” of free enterprise to change their way of doing business. “Not sufficient political will” can be translated to mean “not sufficient numbers of debtors who double as SDI entrepreneurs,” and who are willing to risk implementing the co-operative model of free enterprise. I daresay, our time to pursue the “co-operation model” of free enterprise is coming early in this 21st Century

In the late 1990’s, I launched my first website titled The Cyberclass Network to teach what formal education neglects to teach and what the mainstream electronic and print media dismiss as “not newsworthy.”

In 2001, I created the NoUsury Network which later evolved to become The UsuryFree Network. In 2005, the UsuryFree Network in co-operation with the Family Life Foundation and other active usuryfree creatives launched the first annual UsuryFree Day (November 13th) and UsuryFree Week (November 13th to 19th). This year we will be celebrating the Seventh Annual UsuryFree Week from November 13th to 19th, 2011.

In 2007, I opened an account with Facebook to likewise, share similar, information, resources and knowledge with a global network of friends in cyberspace. In August 2011, I reached my capacity of 5000 “friends” on Facebook - the majority of whom were referred to my Facebook account by “cyberspace friends” who are seeking to learn what formal education neglects to teach. Since Facebook Inc. does not permit anyone to have more than 5000 “friends,” I created a page at Facebook for The UsuryFree Network where anyone can “Like” the page and visit often to keep informed of relevant information and happenings.

Early in this 21st Century, I created the twin blogs (a) The UsuryFree Eye Opener and (b) The SDI (Self Directed Income) Eye Opener to facilitate the re-education process of those who are ready and willing to pursue a self-imposed course of study on topics that are (a) commonly dismissed as “not newsworthy” by the meddling, mainstream media and (b) ignored by our orthodox institutions of formal education.

Though the “followers” statistics indicate that I have only 19 followers for these twin blogs, as of this present date (September 24, 2011) I have had over 31,000 visitors to these blogs. I am pleased that more and more people are seeking knowledge and resources from alternative sources, rather than relying on conventional news, this is evidence that there is a shift in the consciousness of the masses.

I created the blog - The UsuryFree Eye Opener for two reasons (a) to educate (or re-educate) debtors on the truth about modern money creation and to enable them to fully understand how the design flaw of usury functions as the killer machine within our orthodox, economic system of debt money and (b) to inform debtors that indeed, usuryfree living is a possibility are we progress into this 21st Century, given the worldwide acceptance of the perfected model of usuryfree finance - the usuryfree community currency movement - with its co-operative elements.

I created the blog - The SDI Eye Opener to educate (or re-educate) active and prospective, SDI entrepreneurs about the SDI industry - otherwise referred to as the Multi-Level or Network Marketing industry. In my humble opinion, the SDI industry, though about 60 years young, is still in its birthing process as a sales and marketing strategy.

As we now progress into this 21st Century there is much evidence to indicate that old paradigms are crumbling as they are not sustainable for the survival of human beings on planet earth. At this time, the SDI industry is well positioned to lead the way in uniting people both locally and globally to facilitate the shift from “competitive enterprise” and all of its malfunctions to “co-operative enterprise” with all of its perfected elements.

The Co-operative Spirit Trumps the Competitive Spirit

Daily news broadcasts clearly indicate that our paradigms are shifting - the competitive models of doing business in the 20th Century, and previously are breaking down. The co-operation models - of all who choose to participate in selected free enterprise opportunities are steadily improving and rising up to fill the gap.

As the model of “co-operative enterprise” gains popularity as the optimal way to engage in business transaction, the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry is leading the way with a plethora of unique, online, business opportunities surfacing. What is noteworthy is the fact that the spirit of co-operation and teamwork is being woven into the sales and marketing strategies of various, recently launched SDI opportunities. This spirit of co-operation when twinned with essential background knowledge about why the “competitive spirit” of doing business is failing enables the participating SDI entrepreneurs who are open to building an SDI Portfolio to multiply and duplicate their efforts with new recruits who are seeking secondary sources of income(s).

The Role of the SDI Industry

In any business, SDI or otherwise, the amount of energy put in is relevant to the amount of gain received. This is very true of these newest, online, SDI opportunities. It is important that any legitimate SDI opportunity have a marketable product and there must be no misrepresentation or promises about earnings. One can only say what one knows to be absolutely true about any SDI business opportunity. Having fun, earning income(s), and trying something new is the underlying intent of pursuing new, SDI, business ventures. Given the ease of modern technology it is possible to grow one’s earnings from a home-based , SDI enterprise.

Readers are invited to read this article about the evolution of the SDI Industry: “Analysis, Projections, Observations & Proposals For The SDI Industry”

In the late 1990’s, I enrolled with the Pentagono, SDI, business opportunity where the sales mantra “buy one, sell three” was extolled. I did earn some significant, extra income with the Pentagono SDI opportunity, as did those SDI entrepreneurs who networked the program with our team of usuryfree creatives - and we learned lots about the spirit of co-operation.

Since 2000, I have continued my research with the evolution of the SDI industry. Given the ease of modern technology and social networking, it is my humble observation that the newest SDI opportunities are focusing on “business centres” cycling through 2x3 matrices (boards) whereby commissions (rewards) are paid to participating SDI entrepreneurs when they cycle off at the top level.

The cost to enroll, buy a product and set up a business centre ranges from as low as $5.00 (US Funds) to as high as $1000. (US Funds) - or more. Over the years, the sales mantra has changed to “buy one, sell two.” It is my humble opinion that absolutely anyone and everybody has the potential to enrol a minimum of two SDI entrepreneurs in any SDI opportunity.

The Gemfortunes SDI Opportunity:

Permit me to focus on a medium-range SDI opportunity whereby the cost of enrolling, buying a product, and setting up a business centre is approximately $300. (US Funds). One, SDI, business opportunity that is currently having mass appeal at both the local and global market and one that I have added to my SDI Portfolio is the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity.

I enrolled with the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity on August 16, 2011. On that day, I was the 943rd SDI entrepreneur to enroll with the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity which had been launched in late July of 2011. I quickly enrolled two SDI entrepreneurs as is required to comply with the rules and be eligible for commissions (rewards) as one moves through the 2x3 matrices (boards). At the time of writing this article, my “business centre” has been pushed to Level 4 (top level) on the Gold Matrix (board).

Since mid-August, I have been reviewing the compensation plan and watching the boards and listening to webinars, conference calls etc. to determine (a) if the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity has the potential to lead the way and implement some creative ideas and (b) if there is still evidence of the “greed” and “competitiveness” elements surfacing within the various teams or networks.

Now in late September 2011, there are over 3642+ SDI entrepreneurs networking the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity. While I have witnessed some evidence of the conventional elements of “greed” and “competitiveness,” I do see great potential for the model of “co-operative enterprise” to be implemented at the grassroots level - even if the corporate “home office” is not yet ready for such innovation. It would be awesome, if the “home office” of the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity fully embraced the model of “co-operative enterprise,” and added some noteworthy “bells and whistles” to the business model.

I now feel comfortable recommending the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity as a worthy vehicle to add to anyone’s SDI Portfolio, especially during these transitory times as SDI entrepreneurs (and otherwise) negotiate their way from the tired and worn out model of “competitive enterprise” to the tried and proven model of “co-operative enterprise.”

I caution potential or prospective SDI entrepreneurs to only join the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity if (a) they have approximately $300. (US Funds) that they do not need for monthly living expenses and (b) only if they will commit to enrolling two more SDI entrepreneurs as quickly as possible. Enrolling two SDI entrepreneurs is required to qualify for all of the commissions (rewards) as offered in the Gemfortunes compensation plan and doing it as quickly as possible guarantees the best possible placement in the Gold Matrix (Board).

We are still living in a world where avarice, greed, and selfishness (directly caused by the evil and immoral effects of the design flaw of usury) are in the consciousness of a high percentage of the masses, and many people still choose to look for government entities to protect them from charlatans and so-called “pyramid scams” in the SDI industry. Indeed, pyramid structures common to our physical world of “competitive enterprise” commonly exist in traditional business opportunities as well as in the more innovate, SDI industry. Misinformation and disinformation abound when people describe their understanding of the word “pyramid.” It intrigues me that most people work as wage earners in a “pyramid structure,” and yet they wrongly criticize legitimate, business opportunities in the SDI industry as “pyramid schemes or scams.”

Have No Fear of the Word “Pyramid”

In response, I commonly direct prospective SDI entrepreneurs to read the article “Have No Fear of the Word Pyramid” which is posted at The SDI Eye Opener.

And then I direct prospective SDI entrepreneurs to the Competition Act published by Industry Canada - particularly Sections 55 and 55.1 wherein it is written:

“An opinion under sections 55 and 55.1 of the Act will not be given in the following situations: where the plan involves gold or silver coins, the travel industry or discount cards. An opinion will not be given in these situations because of the difficulty of establishing the value of these products. In such cases it is not possible to determine whether consideration is being paid for the right to receive bonuses for recruitment. An opinion will also not be provided where the operator is situated outside of Canada and there is no entity incorporated in Canada, or no individual located in Canada who could be liable for the actions of the company.”

Service Is Virtue

Then I remind prospective and active SDI entrepreneurs that “Service is the Virtue” by sharing this famous quotation excerpted from the book “Not By Bread Alone,” authored by Bryant S. Hinckley, page 25, published by Bookcraft, Salt Lake City, Utah, 1955.

“Service is the virtue that distinguishes the great of all times and which they will be remembered by. It places a mark of nobility upon its disciples. It is the dividing line which separates the two great groups of the world - those who help and those who hinder, those who lift and those who lean, those who contribute and those who only consume. How much better it is to give than to receive. Service in any form is comely and beautiful. To give encouragement, to impart sympathy, to show interest, to banish fear, to build self-confidence and awaken hope in the hearts of others, in short - to love them and show it - is to render the most precious service.”

Informed, usuryfree creatives who are dedicated to “service” and who double as SDI (Self Directed Income) entrepreneurs are actively making a difference by reaching out to serve others with knowledge, resources and optimal SDI opportunities - all of which foster the ultimate experience of usuryfree living as we evolve through these tumultuous, transitory times of economic, dire straits.

Our goal as a collective of active, SDI entrepreneurs is to reach out and help new recruits to achieve their ultimate level of success with their SDI Portfolio - with a focus on generating income(s) from business opportunities that can generate significant online earnings both locally and globally given the ease of modern, internet technology.

Innovative Strategies To Implement and Lead The Way

To lead the way in facilitating the shift from “competitive enterprise” to “co-operative enterprise,” I recommend that a few innovative strategies be implemented and assessed. These ideas will give more value and optimal service to prospective SDI entrepreneurs who choose to join us and network with our team of usuryfree creatives who double as active SDI entrepreneurs.

For example, the “pay-it-forward” concept can be mutually beneficial for those who choose to implement this strategy. The “pay-it-forward” concept can be offered to any prospective SDI entrepreneur who is ready and willing to network the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity, but whose present economic situation is such that s/he does not immediately have access to $300. (US Funds) that is not immediately needed for monthly living expenses.

As of the present date, I have granted five prospective SDI entrepreneurs short-term, micro, usuryfree loans of $300. (US Funds) with these four conditions: (1) when they are experiencing economic abundance they will similarly offer the “pay-it-forward” concept to prospective, SDI entrepreneurs who are experiencing temporary scarcity of funds, (2) make a genuine effort to enroll two SDI entrepreneurs in the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity as quickly as possible, (3) agree (contract) to re-pay the short-term, micro, usuryfree loan as soon as s/he cycles off the Gold Matrix (Board) - where the commission (reward) is $300. (US Funds) cash plus an electronic pin with a value equivalent to $300. (US Funds), and (4) agree to help and coach all newly enrolled SDI entrepreneurs to multiply and duplicate the spirit of “co-operation” and blend this spirit into the model of “co-operative enterprise.”

All five SDI entrepreneurs have agreed to the terms of my “pay-it-forward” offer and I look forward to exciting, future, mutual benefits for all SDI entrepreneurs who enroll in the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity with the UsuryFree Team.

These suggested “co-operative” strategies are not exclusive to the UsuryFree Team, in fact, we hope and expect other teams to implement similar, innovative strategies as well as some other interesting plans.

On Wednesday, Septemeber 14th, 2001, I had the opportunity to listen to an interview by Lisa Garr with Greg Braden on the AwareNow Show wherein he talked about this transitory time where entrepreneurs of all kinds are shifting from the model of “competitive enterprise” to the model of “co-operative enterprise.” I listened to this interview at this website as it was offered for FREE for a few days. http://www.TheAwareShow.com/Braden

Interested and prospective, SDI entrepreneurs for the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity (or otherwise) are invited to visit the above link and find out how they too can listen and re-listen to this particular Greg Braden interview as well as many other relevant interviews. 

Our team of Gemfortunes, SDI entrepreneurs is now committed to enrolling seasoned and/or rookie SDI entrepreneurs who are intent on promoting the model of “co-operative enterprise” with a team spirit.

Future Plans

We also have plans to support each other beyond doing business as Gemfortunes SDI entrepreneurs. Our plans include inviting every new SDI entrepreneur who enrolls on our team with the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity to make a list of “offers” and “requests” of all skills, talents, other products and/or services and our intention is to post this list and encourage our team to become loyal shoppers and learn to change the way we spend our money - that is to say - we will look from within our own loyal database for the products and/or services that we need for our business, our family and personal needs and spend our money supporting each other when possible.

At some point in the not-too-distant future, it is my hope that a corporate office of a leading SDI company will explore how it can take a leadership role and incorporate more “co-operative concepts” in their respective marketing strategies. It would be awesome if the corporate “home office” of Gemfortunes would come forth and be that leader by implementing a “usuryfree” currency that could be used in creatives ways to grow and expand loyal, global networks of participating SDI entrepreneurs. I and other committed usuryfree creatives are willing to share our ideas and concepts upon request.

Tax Benefits of an SDI Enterprise

2011-09-08T20:58:00.000-07:00

Many conventional business people have been disillusioned by high income tax and tremendous amounts of red tape and government inefficiency. SDI entrepreneurs are sheltered from the high administrative costs of doing business for the “home office” of the respective SDI company commonly hires people to keep track of monthly sales.

Could the tax sheltered incomes of SDI entrepreneurs foster a quiet tax revolt and eventually reduce the oppressive powers of government? The prospect of a world with less government is a cause for rejoicing all by itself!

When SDI entrepreneurs start their home-based enterprise they become independent entrepreneurs. They are not employees. As owners of an SDI enterprise, they are entitled under the Income Tax Act to deduct certain expenses incurred in attempting to build their SDI enterprise. Indeed, there are significant deductions available to active SDI entrepreneurs.

Obviously, business expenses can only be deducted when an SDI entrepreneur is truly building an enterprise. This translates to mean that the harder one works at ones enterprise, the greater the tax benefits. Becoming an SDI entrepreneur in this 21st Century, gives wage-earners numerous tax advantages.

Since the SDI industry commonly promotes part-time enterprises, SDI entrepreneurs have a tremendous advantage of being able to deduct business losses from other wages or salaries.

It has already been established that most enterprises incur significant losses in their early years, SDI entrepreneurs can reduce their overall tax bill significantly when they launch a part-time, home-based enterprise.

“Tax losses” are not tlo be confused with “cash losses.” It is possible for an SDI enterprise to earn cash profits and still have “tax losses.” SDI entrepreneurs incur “tax losses” by deducting the expenses of using one’s personal assets (house, vehicle, telephone, computer, etc.) in building one’s enterprise. A large portion of these expenses can be deducted as business expenses if one is seriously building an SDI enterprise.

Keep in mind that one would normally have these expenses even if one is not building an SDI enterprise.

An SDI enterprise qualifies for the normal business expenses and much more. The normal expenses associated with any wholesale/retail enterprise are: (a) cost of merchandise (b) supplies (c) office expenses (d) interest and bank charges (e) advertising (f) professional fees (g) industry publications etc.

In addition to the above, normal, business expenses active SDI entrepreneurs have additional tax benefits:

Since SDI entrepreneurs are in the field of direct selling, as an owner of one’s own independent enterprise, one is permitted to deduct a portion of the operating costs of a vehicle - licenses, insurance, interest fees and depreciation. Active SDI entrepreneurs have very little personal use of a vehicle since they “live” their enterprise all the time by seeking to expand through enrolling new SDI entrepreneurs and/or marketing products and/or services.

Residence:

As an active SDI entrepreneur with an office in one’s place of residence, one qualifies to deduct a portion of the cost of the following items: (a) heat, light and electricity (b) house insurance (c) mortgage interest or rent (d) property taxes (e) maintenance (f) security (g) any other expenses incurred to operate your residence.

Depending on how much space one sets aside for the enterprise, the deduction can be significant.

Travel:

An enthusiastic and eager SDI entrepreneur is always seeking to expand his/her enterprise. Since most SDI opportunities are now operating globally, active SDI entrepreneurs are encouraged to enrol people from different countries. So why not take the business “on the road,” “on the track,” ‘on the water,” or “in the air?”

This feature is unique to the SDI industry. When one takes one’s enterprise with him/her, the travel expenses are deductible. When one travels one must, of course, travel with the intention of expanding one’s enterprise. CRA officials cannot prevent one from enjoying oneself on any business trip!

Wages To Family members:

A functioning SDI enterprise demands that routine weekly tasks be completed by someone. One can pay reasonable wages to one’s spouse and/or children etc. Always make sure that any conditions required are met before this deduction is claimed. For example, if any family member earns more than a specified limit, then one must reduce the personal deduction for them on the income tax return.

Entertainment and Promotion:

If, in attempting to expand one’s enterprise by enrolling new SDI entrepreneurs, one incurs entertainment expenses, then one is permitted to deduct such expenses. For example, if one takes prospects (potential SDI entrepreneurs) or retail customers to a restaurant to discuss an SDI opportunity and/or selected products, any business expense incurred qualifies as a business deduction. If one invites prospects to one’s residence for dinner and an SDI business opportunity is discussed, the costs of the food and drinks is deductible.

Other Expenses:

Just as each SDI entrepreneur’s circumstances differ, so does the extent of one’s business deductions. It is recommended that any SDI entrepreneur seeks professional help in preparing the annual income tax returns. The fees for this service are deductible and one can better spend time enrolling and coaching new SDI entrepreneurs or selling products.

For updated and detailed explanations of permissible tax deductions available to SDI entrepreneurs, it is recommended that advice be sought from a competent chartered accountant - who is familiar with the SDI industry.

I trust that readers can now view the SDI industry with a deeper understanding. I welcome readers to continue doing research on the SDI industry in general at the SDI Eye Opener. Maybe some readers are ready and willing to commence an SDI Portfolio and take enjoy prosperity while taking advantage of the tax benefits unique to the SDI industry.

SDI Sales Organizations Briefly Explained

SDI Sales Organizations Briefly Explained

And of what does an SDI sales organization consist? The brief explanation given here is all that prospects or newcomers need to be given by enrolling (or sponsoring) SDI entrepreneurs in the first encounter.

To become an active SDI entrepreneur is entirely a matter of free will and commitment to the respective “home office” and the network of awakened SDI entrepreneurs who have learned the importance of freeing themselves from orthodox, economic system of usury-based, debt money.

The SDI method of sales and marketing was conceived of and launched in the 1950’s. In the beginning, there was little more than an idea, a big dream and one product and people who believed.

During 2010, thousands of products and/or services with a retail sales value of multiple billions of dollars were marketed to worldwide networks of satisfied customers by numerous “home offices” of SDI companies which rely on a delivery system of people who commonly refer to themselves as SDI entrepreneurs.

These SDI entrepreneurs are not conventional sales representatives, but rather independent SDI entrepreneurs who choose to market selected products and/or services directly to the consumer both at the wholesale and retail levels.

Briefly, here is how the various sales and marketing plans operate. New SDI entrepreneurs (people who have access to products and/or services for sale) are enrolled (sponsored) by an SDI entrepreneur already enrolled.

New SDI entrepreneurs commonly receive a refundable sales and marketing kit (usually costing less than $50.00) which may contain promotional literature, selected sample products, possibly a replicating website for a minimum of one month. There is no profit for selling sales and marketing kits.

No SDI entrepreneur profits until s/he teaches the newly enrolled SDI entrepreneur how to profit. New SDI entrepreneurs are encouraged to read about the company and perhaps listen to a CD or view a DVD.

Since “selling is simply telling” new SDI entrepreneurs are encouraged to purchase some products for their personal use and try them, for the belief is that when one becomes familiar with the products and/or services, it is easy to share the details about them with potential customers.

Each new SDI entrepreneur is qualified to purchase any products or services at wholesale prices from their own replicating website. Any retail sale of a product commonly earns the new SDI entrepreneur a small profit - on average 30% - that it the difference between the wholesale price and the suggested retail price paid by the customer.

Usually, each product is also worth so many points or so much business volume and the “home office” of the SDI company pays additional commissions or bonuses according to the details on the compensation plan.

New SDI entrepreneurs quickly learn that while there is reasonable, immediate profit in the direct selling of products, the key to earning a good source of secondary income is multiplication and duplication to your efforts through enrolling (sponsoring) others who will commit themselves to do part-time work to earn extra income.

When each new SDI entrepreneur purchases products, it automatically increases the sales volume of the group and individual commissions are paid accordingly. Obviously, the more new SDI entrepreneurs, one enrols, the more solid the source of secondary income.

The potential for a really industrious SDI entrepreneur is really high. People who understand the marketing model for the SDI industry and the old mathematical laws of numbers know that by sharing their knowledge with so many people they will be guaranteed so much success.

SDI entrepreneurs are breaking sales records daily, weekly, monthly as they follow a proven success system that works. Just like any new challenge, growing SDI entrepreneurs quickly discover that action reduces fear and that tomorrow’s best leaders are today’s best followers.’

SDI entrepreneurs will command a large degree of influence in the world of tomorrow both directly and indirectly. Daily, they directly influence every day activities like helping fellow-SDI entrepreneurs grow and become successful. They influence the lives of their customers as they serve them with quality products, the basis of real economy and they better the peoples’ live with whom they come in contact.

Many, successful SDI entrepreneurs who have already achieved financial independence are helping accomplish near-miracles through their generous gifts of time and money to churches, charities, missions, and community projects worldwide.

This giving spirit is manifest at each and every level of achievement, but “sharing through caring” is especially evident within the circles of higher-level achievers of SDI organizations. Their actions are only a beginning, but they amply illustrate the warm, caring and growing influence that SDI entrepreneurs will continue to have on countless millions of people around the world.

The SDI Industry Has Great Potential

2011-09-07T20:32:00.000-07:00

As we progress into this 21st Century, the SDI (Self Directed Income) Industry - formerly or otherwise referred to as Multi-Level or Network Marketing has indeed become one of the best sources of solid, secondary income(s).

The growth of the SDI industry is a story of great accomplishment which utilizes the greatest of all the natural resources - its people. More and more SDI entrepreneurs are daring to explore unrealized horizons as others all around them talk about doom, gloom and tragedy.

Since the pioneers of the SDI industry conceived of this innovative marketing concept in the 1950’s, countless thousands of people have accepted the challenge to build home-based, SDI enterprises on a part-time or full time basis.

Now there are literally hundreds of SDI companies offering thousands of quality products, services and business opportunities to discriminating, shop-at-home consumers.

My introduction to the SDI industry was through the Amway business opportunity way back on March 29, 1979. At that time, I was an employee of the Ottawa Carleton Board of Education and my chosen career was an elementary school teacher.

A successful business friend of mine had said to me about one year earlier: “Are you aware that your employer is getting rich on your efforts when you could be in business for yourself and know “real riches?” “Real riches” he said, “is not monetary wealth alone.” He explained to me that success in not sinful as most people would have us believe. For him, “real riches” was fulfillment, surrounded by the family who share with each other the simple pleasures if life with abundant, hard-earned money.

That night, on March 29, 1979, I saw the SDI industry as a vehicle for our family to acquire “real riches.” After I had gained knowledge and technique from Amway as a single “home office supplier” I searched for additional “home office suppliers” and commenced to build my personal SDI Portfolio.

An ever increasing number of SDI entrepreneurs are embracing the concept of building an SDI Portfolio. I caution SDI entrepreneurs to verify that the respective “home office supplier” of the selected SDI opportunity does not impose restrictive conditions in the fine print of the sales and marketing contract.

Some “home office suppliers” will terminate SDI entrepreneurs if they find out you are earning income(s) from more than one SDI company. In recent years, too many SDI entrepreneurs who were intent on building an SDI Portfolio, have had their distributorship terminated and their monthly earnings abruptly halted by the “home office supplier.” Such action is contrary to the true spirit of “free enterprise.”

I remember my sponsor (the SDI entrepreneur who recruited me into the Amway business opportunity) explaining that anyone can get what he wants if he helps enough other people get what they want. Then he went on to explain, “You really can help people, either by selling them products of quality and excellence - rare characteristics in today’s marketplace - or you can share the business and marketing plan and give them a key to a new future.”

During the 1980’s, when I pursued the Amway SDI opportunity, I learned to reach out to help others in a sincere and honest way. I did earn a respectable secondary income and I learned much about the SDI industry while I was an Amway distributor for 13 years. I did receive much criticism and occasional complements. One comment I remember is: “So and so is not going to get rich off me.” How absurd!

People must come to understand that nobody gets rich off anybody in the SDI industry - if they work to serve others and evade the greed factor. When committed SDI entrepreneurs work together with renewed trust and faith’ everybody who chooses to participate has the potential to benefit.

I believe that there are three main reasons that people side step the challenge of any SDI opportunity - fear, status and deflated dreams. Status is probably the most common impediment to seeing oneself as a successful SDI entrepreneur.

The educated generation of baby boomers were taught to believe there was status in titles. In fact, money is the best measuring device of status. There are many successful business people who have status but very little education.

As a committed SDI entrepreneur, I gave up my status title as “teacher.” Over the years, I have also learned that other teachers, doctors, lawyers, executives, hockey players etc. are just as proud to operate a sideline SDI enterprise as I am.

Fear and deflated dreams are the other two impediments to supplement each other. People have deflated dreams because they are afraid to take that first step on the journey to success. One of the greatest fears that I have observed over the years is: “What would other people think?”

I learned how to deal with this statement when a sincere friend on mine - a successful SDI entrepreneur - said to me: “Would any of your friends die for you?” I answered, “No!” He then asked me yet another question: “Why then do you live for your friends?” That was when I made a decision to live for myself and not allow myself to be susceptible to the negative influence of other people.

I have been a student of the SDI industry for over 30 years and even now every day I learn how little I know. The greatest challenge that myself and other SDI entrepreneurs seek to overcome is the fact that our respective families, friends, neighbours, working colleagues - people who mean so much to me - still misunderstand the concept of being an SDI entrepreneur.

In fact, my greatest successes have come from sharing SDI opportunities with people who were strangers, but have become friends and associate SDI entrepreneurs. These people put trust and belief in me when I tell them success in the SDI industry does not rely on door-to-door selling.

In fact, it has been my observation over the years, that loyal clients are often the ones who sell products for SDI entrepreneurs. “Quality, economy, excellence and satisfaction guarantees” are commonly spread by word of mouth and/or by “click of mouse.” Satisfied clients often ask SDI entrepreneurs about the “business opportunity” and eventually get enrolled as active SDI entrepreneurs.

When new SDI entrepreneurs are recruited, the enroller (sponsor) accepts the responsibility to coach and motivate them to action. This means commitment to one’s SDI enterprise.

Often, family, friends, neighbours, working colleagues etc. don’t understand the mysteries of motivation. They prefer to know you and see you as you were living with your deflated dreams, not as you are willing to become by putting your efforts into earning income(s) from your SDI Portfolio. To be a successful SDI entrepreneur, you must be willing to move beyond “mediocrity.”

To motivate others, the dictionary tells us, is to cause them to act in a certain way. Motivation is a word that is commonly associated with successful people. With unprecedented growth rates, SDI entrepreneurs are breaking records - daily, weekly, monthly - as they market billions of dollars in annual retail sales on an annual basis.

Top level corporate executives in SDI companies and leading SDI entrepreneurs in the field are becoming experts on motivation. They know that mediocrity in not exciting. They classify job and basic financial security as “low level” motivators which guarantee only a low level effort. People can easily become trapped by low-level motivators.

James J. Cribben, a management expert, wrote in his book “Effective Managerial Leadership,” published in 1971 - “To elicit their top performance, one must get them to drive themselves.”

Leading SDI entrepreneurs understand the function of motivation in business is to move members of their respective teams to perform at the very peak of their abilities. They understand the basic requirements needed to motivate people to their best performance.

When the pioneer SDI opportunities were conceived by true SDI entrepreneurs, they set out to create a system which fulfills the four basin needs for man’s success: (a) man’s need for recognition (b) man’s need to belong (c) man’s need for security and (d) man’s need for freedom

Effective leadership in any SDI organization draws forth a willing effort from participants who drive themselves. They want to do their utmost for their leader.

I must point out here that the antithesis of leadership is dictatorship in which an unwilling effort is forced out of people by a devastating application of power. Any involuntary effort is likely to be less effective than one given voluntarily. Over history, dictatorships have invariably produced rebels devoted to their own demise.

The SDI industry fulfills those four basic needs of man in a unique way envied by people in careers with institutions, government and other organizations. The “home offices” of SDI companies commonly recognize successful SDI entrepreneurs by unique reward or performance level systems.

I remember when I received my first award for what I thought was a small achievement in my SDI enterprise. Like most beginners, I was shy only because in my career job as an elementary school teacher, one does not usually receive recognition for small achievements. Leaders in the SDI industry know that when small achievements are recognized greater achievements are encouraged.

The simplified recipe that produces success in the SDI industry is: (a) have a dream (b) set short-term goals (c) make a plan and follow it and (d) establish a positive, mental attitude and see yourself not as you are, but as you will become.

To build and maintain this positive, mental attitude in a world of negativism, it is necessary to read positive, self-help books, listen to positive content on Cds or DVDs, view positive video clips on the internet - this helps keep the message alive by spaced, repetition. Leading SDI entrepreneurs know that hearing something once will not cause change to occur from within themselves.

One of the keys to success in any SDI enterprise is to decide to begin. Initially, it was not a big decision for me, but it is certainly one that I am glad I made. In today’s modern world, most people avoid making significant decisions. They just let small, insignificant details carry them along, consequently they do not make any remarkable accomplishments.

The world of the SDI industry has only begun to grow. This worldwide movement where “people” come first will explode exponentially in this 21st Century. Already there are millions in the world wide networks and expansion continues at the rate of thousands of new recruits on a daily basis.

A new generation is emerging, a generation of positive thinkers who will accept the challenge to advance themselves by their own efforts as they tire of being “mediocre wage slaves.”

There is nothing wrong with the SDI industry. It is free enterprise at work with a co-operative spirit. Free enterprise offers a possible dream, not the false hope that so many people seek by paying voluntary tax as they amass their weekly bundle of lottery tickets.

Since tomorrow’s best leaders are today’s best followers, you are invited to familiarize yourself with the circles of winners in the world of SDI entrepreneurs; you just might be motivated to follow them. Your possibilities in the SDI industry are as limitless as the far horizon and your involvement will help preserve the Siamese twins of “freedom and free enterprise.”

Communicate with active SDI entrepreneurs, in person and/or on the internet, educate yourself by reading books, blogs, newsletters, magazines trade publications etc. which focus on the SDI sector of the explosive, direct sales industry. Then seek to get enrolled in one or more SDI opportunities - by choice rather than by accident. The future is NOW!

NOTE: Readers are invited to spend some time reviewing the posts at the blog - The SDI Eye Opener. Information about selected SDI opportunities which I have added to my SDI Portfolio is presented at the SDI Eye Opener. When you are ready to commence your SDI Portfolio, at your request, I can suggest one or more SDI opportunities - depending on your level of commitment. The Gemfortunes SDI opportunity is simple and has great, global potential given the ease of internet technology.

One Way To Freedom - Financial and Otherwise

2011-09-06T20:32:00.000-07:00

One Way To Freedom - Financial and Otherwise

Even as rebellion and revolt are rampant as we progress into this 21st Century, SDI (Self Directed Income) opportunities are passing love and profits from person to person through unique, hybrid marketing strategies.

Any SDI opportunity must be judged by the quality of people it attracts and keeps. Sometimes, the success of a particular SDI opportunity is a dilemma indeed - if it gives the image of too much profit, people and governments get uneasy and if they appear to offer too little profit, they lose credibility and respect.

Seek SDI opportunities that project a positive, public image as they grow toward the future. Rather than selecting an SDI opportunity that offers a museum of memories, search for one that is a living, growing, global family of excited, motivated, SDI entrepreneurs who are networking with new hopes and dreams.

This is the attitude that committed SDI entrepreneurs seek to encounter within any of the social networks where online business takes place on a daily basis with selected SDI opportunities.

It is the awareness of awakened SDI entrepreneurs, that governments of all levels seek to give we-the-people everything we need and want in exchange for limiting our personal freedom. As we sit back and let governments do more and more for us, we are surrendering to their New World Order of subservient, financial enslavement.

If our future as a nation is to hold any promise of perpetuity for free enterprise and personal freedom, we must change. Free enterprise in general has been on the decline during the past fifty years and it cannot hope to thrive much longer on the incredulous imagination of ignorant consumers who are saddled with a wage-slave mentality.

Quietly, SDI entrepreneurs are coming to grips with the realization that people who are financially independent, people who are not depending upon the government, people who want to surpass themselves by exercising their own ability, rights and their God-given talents are the greatest enemies of their (the bankers’) encroaching New World Order.

The contemporary decline of free enterprise in this country and elsewhere, a phenomenon that has followed the decline of other formerly respected institutions in the wake of industrialization, political upheaval, and educational regression spells trouble for our future - and the leading SDI entrepreneurs know this.

Together with innovative, home office companies in the SDI industry, these leading SDI entrepreneurs are creating a solid, economic entity firmly entrenched in the global world of business and finance, dedicated and determined to preserve freedom - financial and otherwise.

Freedom is our most precious possession. To keep it we must struggle with the challenge of “loving” which is inherent in any innovative SDI opportunity.

If there is one common concern that characterizes the reality of active SDI entrepreneurs in this 21st Century, it is concern about whether our children will experience the same kind of freedom which we still have today in Canada.

I believe that while SDI entrepreneurs are fulfilling their own dreams, they are making a lasting contribution to keep freedom alive for your children’s children. Whatever your conventional occupation, whatever your particular circumstances, you can contribute to your freedom, your future, your children’s future, your childrens’ children’s future and the future of our nation in a way that no one else can.

It might be as simple as listening the next time a family member, friend, neighbour, working colleague or stranger offers to share information about an exciting SDI opportunity. Perhaps you too would like to join the enthusiastic SDI entrepreneurs who are prophesizing a better future rather than slumbering on with the silent majority who are predicting doom and gloom and settling for survival strategies.

Early in this 21st Century, innovative SDI opportunities with hybrid marketing plans that focus on ‘cycling’ through matrices are leading the way. This is not surprising since any SDI opportunity can offer a sales and marketing plan that effectively distributes quality products and/or services to the customer and backs them with a unique guarantee at a minimum cost.

In the SDI industry, most products are pre-sold and delivery is commonly guaranteed within seven to fourteen days, therefore SDI entrepreneurs need not keep large inventories. This helps SDI entrepreneurs keep a positive cash flow for their home-based enterprise.

In addition, SDI entrepreneurs do not commonly hire salaried sales people, but rather, they enrol or sponsor prospects who choose to become SDI entrepreneurs and operate their own home-based enterprise. This eliminates the traditional costs of staffing and corresponding administration.

Likewise, the SDI industry has solved the multi-billion dollar annual problem of shoplifting for it is virtually impossible to shoplift in such a closely scrutinized model of marketing.

Barter is booming also and this can be another profitable venture. All SDI entrepreneurs have access to products and/or services at wholesale prices. These products and/or services can be sold to customers and a combination of federal cash and any usury free community currency can be negotiated for any trades or exchanges.

The SDI industry is steadily gearing up for self-sufficiency as the awakened SDI entrepreneurs build their respective, loyal networks. Each SDI entrepreneur has access to one or more product lines within the SDI industry as well as having other skills, talents, products etc. from traditional sources and these can be listed and traded internally within our respective networks.

There is a fast growing, national and global fear emerging as people seek to prepare themselves for any of the recurring, life-threatening disasters caused by nuclear accidents, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions etc.

Active and well-connected SDI entrepreneurs will have access to most vital necessities within their loyal networks if modern conveniences are cut off for sustained periods of time.

I predict that the SDI industry is ready to mushroom as more and more people seek a way to earn extra income(s) to protect themselves and their loved ones in case of national emergencies. The solution is to have enough amenities on hand for your own needs and be ready and willing to sell (barter) necessities to the thousands of potential victims who will be still unprepared.

Indeed, the SDI industry has many of the answers needed at this critical time for planet earth. All people have to do is ask the questions of those SDI entrepreneurs already succeeding in the SDI industry and listen with open minds.

Note: I recommend that SDI entrepreneurs and/or those choosing to become SDI entrepreneurs add the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity to your SDI Portfolio and do it NOW! Click on the above link and learn more - then join from the icon on the website of one of our active SDI entrepreneurs. This SDI opportunity is a global, internet opportunity and it is growing at a fast rate since it was launched in late July of 2011. There are now 2338 SDI entrepreneurs from all over the world networking the Gemfortunes SDI opportunity.

Overcoming The Principle of Usury-Greed in the SDI Industry

2011-08-24T21:51:00.000-07:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

On May 27, 2011, I posted an article titled “Usury-Freed Trumps Usury-Greed” at the UsuryFree Eye Opener. I had penned this article in 2001 and posted it at The Cyberclass Network.

Ten years later in 2011, more and more people are seeking ways to overcome “The Principle of Usury-Greed” as they now understand how the evil and immoral malfunction of “usury” on our orthodox, debt money system is what breeds the “fear factor” in combination with the “greed factor.”

Years ago, the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry was identified as the optimal vehicle to expose the problems associated with “usury-greed” since this industry offers common people (debtors) home-based, business opportunities to earn solid sources of secondary income(s) which can be used to pay off debts.

Those who are not yet familiar with the SDI industry are invited to review this article “Analysis, Projections, Observations & Proposals For The SDI Industry” as it offers a very good backgrounder about the SDI industry.

I have been a student of the SDI industry since March 29, 1979 when I enrolled with the SDI opportunity offered by the Amway corporation. Over the past 32 years, I have witnessed countless SDI companies appear and disappear - in one way or another - victims of the “Principle of Usury-Greed.”

Sometimes, the home office company displayed “usury-greed,” and often it was the leading SDI entrepreneurs who fleeced the newest recruits (enrollees) with their “ghost systems” within their respective pyramidal, marketing plans.

These “ghost systems” permitted the leading SDI entrepreneurs to earn more money selling compulsory sales tools and resources to a targeted market of distributors in their respective downlines, rather than from selling the products from the home SDI office company.

As we progress into this 21st Century, I see the SDI industry evolving with the high tech tools of internet marketing. I see potential with some of the newest SDI opportunites that have amazing and unique characteristics in their respective marketing plans.

However, under close scrutiny, within the SDI industry, there is still the potential to exploit the “Principle of Usury-Greed,” unless SDI individuals and teams dare to market the SDI opportunity differently. The good news is that some of the newest SDI marketing plans require active SDI entrepreneurs to ‘directly’ or ‘personally’ enrol (sponsor) a minimum of only two people in their network to qualify for commissions in the respective compensation plan. Enrolling two people is possible for most SDI entrepreneurs, whether they be veterans or novices.

The “Principle of Usury-Greed” surfaces when leading SDI entrepreneurs focus on those elements of the respective compensation (marketing) plans that laud grandiose earnings. Visions of “big money” engage the selfish “greed factor,” rather than promoting the co-operative concept of optimally serving our fellow-man.

Historically, the free enterprise system (of which the SDI industry is a part) became popular because highly motivated SDI entrepreneurs with competent sales and marketing skills were lauded for their ability to earn and flaunt big incomes.

It is noteworthy that the SDI indusry has a darkened history of very high attrition because most new recruits have little or no sales experience. Instead, they have been conditioned by formal education and otherwise, to be subservient to the ‘system’ - pay their monthly usury and taxes - and settle for an “employee mentality” whereby the ‘boss’ tells them what to do when they show up for work each day.

Recently, four concepts have been introduced to the SDI industry that are making a difference by promoting a co-operative model that works for the mutual benefit for all who choose to participate.

Awakened SDI teams or networks are finding success by: (1) paying it forward and (2) offering short-term, usuryfree loans for the business start-up (3) gifting prospects to those newest SDI entrepreneurs enrolled with you (4) re-educating themselves on topics that formal education neglects to teach

Allow me to explain each of these four concepts in more detail.

1. Paying It Forward - In these stressful economic times, many prospective SDI entrepreneurs may recognize the power and potential of any new or seasoned SDI opportunity, however, too often they do not have sufficient, available cash to pay the initial start up fees. The workable and proven solution is for the already-enrolled SDI entrepreneur to offer to “pay-it-forward” for the newest SDI prospect and then teach them to do likewise.

2. Offering short-term, usuryfree loans for the business start-up - This concept naturally follows the “paying -it-forward” concept. These short-term, usuryfree loans can be offered with oral or written contracts. The recommended condition is that the newly enrolled SDI entrepreneurs repay the short-term, usuryfree loan within a given time period - usually as soon as they earn their first commission.

3. Gifting prospects to those newest SDI entrepreneurs enrolled with you - When the “team of network” with a co-operative spirit implements this concept, they are truly living beyond the “Principle of Usury-Greed.” This idea is foreign to most conventional SDI entrepreneurs, for they have unknowingly been caught up in the invisible twin factors of “greed and fear” that are a normal function of the scarcity and lack that dominate our orthodox, economic system of usury-based, debt money. In summary, the idea is for active SDI entrepreneurs to gift a prospective SDI entrepreneur to the newest recruit on your team or network. This motivates the SDI entrepreneur to become active and s/he will be motivated to multiple and duplicate your efforts - making the co-operative team much stronger while surrendering the "principle of usury-greed."

4. Re-educating themselves on topics that formal education neglects to teach - This is perhaps the most significant concept that is common to the SDI teams/networks prmoting the co-operative model. With newly acquired knowledge, the SDI entrepreneurs who are actively participating with these SDI teams/networks have a better understanding of the root causes of the “Principle of Usury-Greed” in the SDI industry and/or otherwise. Therefore, they willingly surrender the selfish pursuit of the ever-elusive ‘big money” in favour of the whole team enjoying sufficient prosperity and abundance while being re-educated to make this world a better place.

Our network of dedicated usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs are ready and willing to initiate a grassroots idea to optimally serve our newly enrolled SDI entrepreneurs while overcoming the principle of usury greed.

The plan is to select a couple of timely SDI opportunities and help qualify any newly enrolled SDI entrepreneurs so that they will receive all streams of income(s) otherwise referred to as commissions. By focusing on the above-listed four concepts, we will not coerce, but we will encourage all new enrollees to willingly participate so that our SDI network becomes known for “serving others” with the intention of mutual benefit of prosperity and abundance for individuals and the collective. Multiplication and duplication of our efforts will be the key to our co-operative success.

Readers are invited to read and/or re-read the article titled: “Networking Solutions & Aiding Debtors To Avoid Taxes and Evade Usury” - and explore one or both of the SDI opportunties listed near the end of the article.

Seeking Two SDI Entrepreneurs

2011-08-18T05:53:00.000-07:00

Greetings and welcome to the SDI Eye Opener. I am seeking two SDI (Self Directed Income) entrepreneurs who are ready and willing to enrol with me in a new and unique SDI opportunity. (Details below)

The SDI Eye Opener focuses on the popular SDI industry and offers an abundance of information and resources that can be used by novice and seasoned SDI entrepreneurs.

The SDI Eye Opener is being read by growing numbers of SDI entrepreneurs who are seeking to be better informed about the SDI industry. Most of the articles are “generic” in nature, though I have posted information about a small selection of worthy SDI opportunities from my personal SDI Portfolio that are offering unique and quality products in the health and wellness industry.

If you as an SDI entrepreneur have not yet visited The SDI Eye Opener, this is your invitation to do so. More and more SDI entrepreneurs are now aware of the power and potential of having an SDI (Self Directed Income) Portfolio.

Whether you are becoming an SDI entrepreneur or you are already a committed SDI entrepreneur, you are invited to give careful consideration to the content of this message.

If you have been frequenting my twin blog - The Usuryfree Eye Opener you will probably be aware of the problems associated with our orthodox, economic system of usury-based, debt money and offers solution-oriented ideas for usuryfree living. We refer to the leaders in this self-imposed, re-educational mission as usuryfree creatives. If you as an SDI entrepreneur have not yet visited The UsuryFree Eye Opener, this is your invitation to do so.

I am pleased to report that more and more individuals are enrolling in the SDI industry to earn solid sources of secondary income(s). Active SDI entrepreneurs who double as usuryfree creatives are encouraged to direct a portion of their SDI earnings to help fund the growth of the usuryfree community currency movement.

As awareness of the power and potential of the usuryfree community currency movement also reveals the lies, deceits and deceptions being foisted upon the masses (debtors) about our orthodox, economic system of debt money. When these “lies, deceits and deceptions” are uncovered and replaced with solution-oriented “truths” about modern, money creation - everyone will experience the reality of usuryfree living.

Since SDI entrepreneurs are open to “diverse interests,” permit me to introduce readers to Gemfortunes - one of the newest SDI opportunities. Gemfortunes has some amazing and unique characteristics that are appreciated by active SDI entrepreneurs.

For example, directly enrolling two SDI entrepreneurs as Gemfortunes Distributors qualifies you to participate and generate earnings in the GemFortunes compensation plan. Additionally, you are assigned a FREE replicating website and a lifetime membership when you pay the one time cost of $300. (plus fees when applicable)

Our one slogan is “One team, one goal.” Our intention is to work closeply with our team of SDI entrepreneurs who are building their respective SDI Portfolios, so everyone on the team cycles through the matrices at the Gemfortunes Business Centre.

Our second slogan is “Pay It Forward with a small and short-term, usuryfree loan” - which means to offer to pay the entry fee for an SDI entrepreneur who is ready and willing to network this SDI opportunity BUT does not immediately have the amount of the entry fee. By loaning him/her money to pay the entry fee, it assures him/her of a timely position in the first matrix - and this idea supports “one team, one goal” for everyone who is participating wins.

Gemfortunes:

Choosing Complementary Health and Wellness Professionals 101

2011-08-16T00:34:00.000-07:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

Why now? Because we are not healthy. The bad news is that statistics demonstrate that there will be 153,100 new cases of cancer and 70,400 will die of cancer in 2011. Additionally, 40% of all Canadians will experience cancer at least once in this lifetime. And a little known fact is that prescription medications are killing more people than ever before.

The good news is that more and more consumers are making a conscious decision to purchase organic foods, thereby taking the first step towards improving their health and wellness scores. The only statistics that I could find indicate that over $14 billion dollars were spent on organic foods in North America in 2005. This shift towards consuming organic foods is ever-increasing since 2005, and this shift is absolutely consumer-driven and not corporation-driven.

Additionally, there are more and more home-based businesses in the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry that are offering a higher quality food and nutrition products along with personalized service - both are much appreciated as the giant trans-national food retailers are not likely to offer such.

Professionals commonly work with clients who are seeking health and wellness by initiating unconventional methods not offered by mainstream medical authorities. Some of these health and wellness professionals are content with the title 'light workers,' while others prefer to be known as complementary health and wellness 'practitioners' working in and with the light energy.

Yet, others doing this work prefer that the work they do simply be known as an 'ancient healing art' that facilitates the body to heal itself. No matter who the lightworker, the practitioner or the healing facilitator, the intent is to assist in the mutual quest for optimal health and wellness.

Why are we not healthy? We are not healthy because of what we eat and drink and because too many of us are dwelling on the emotion of fear instead of focusing on the emotion of love. The media bombards us with fear-based news and consequently our thoughts are negative and/or focused on these fear-based beliefs that may very well have a hidden agenda of subservience, control and total dominance. The air we breathe is full of toxins - including toxins from chemtrails.

Too few of us exercise on a regular basis. Our energies are unbalanced, our breathing is too shallow, we drink an insufficient amount of water, our bodies are too acidic because our common North American diet is highly acidic, low in nutrients and high in toxins.

We have little time to relax as we are working at our roles and duties too many hours and driving too far to our workplace as we toil to earn the money to pay the usury on debt and the taxes on our labour as well as on products and/or services that we purchase. (We really need to take time to review the resources that various researchers have produced so that we can understand how we are being scammed on the issues of 'usury and taxes.')

What are these toxins? They are the poisons that impair the healthy functioning of the physical body. Many chemicals are directly added to our processed foods by the giant food processing corporations such as preservatives, texturizers, moisture protectors, bleaching agents, colouring agents and more.

Other chemicals are referred to as indirect additives. Thousands of chemicals are used in packaging and these migrate to the food. The chemicals that farmers use on crops as pest control or to accelerate plant growth end up in the food we consume. The growth hormones used in animal feed along with the array of plant and animal growth regulators and environmental contaminants all end up in our food supply.

Toxins are also produced in our bodies by fungi and other parasites. Mycotoxins, and aflatoxins are highly carcinogenic toxins. Heavy metals, solvents, plasticizers, and other synthetic chemicals enter our bodies with food, drinks, cleaning supplies, pesticides, herbicides, etc. in our homes and/or in our workplaces. These toxins shut down our hormones, destroy live enzymes, destroy or mutate our cells, impair our immune system, promote the growth of parasites and misbalance the body so that sickness and disease afflict us.

Additionally, our negative thoughts and fear-based emotions create an imbalance and our physical body deteriorates from its natural rhythms. Elements of stress, anxiety and mental and physical pain must be acknowledged and addressed.

The choice is 'Detoxify or Die Early.' What do you choose? If you choose to detoxify, you must then choose to consult with one of more lightworkers, practitioners or healing facilitators who will focus on various therapies to awaken the healing process. Are you choosing a lightworker or practitioner of healing facilitator for treatment of disease or for prevention of disease?

If you want to treat more than the symptoms of disease then you must consider how you can initiate and maintain healing through the elimination of toxins from the body while continually boosting your immune system and altering your attitude so that you are focused on positive thoughts within the context of the love-based emotion.

How do you do this? Consider such prevention/treatment modalities as: toxicity testing, total body detoxification, weight control, pain control, stress management, hydrotherapy, colon therapy, bioelectric therapy, chelation therapy, metabolic therapy, antineoplaston therapy, oxygen and ozone therapy, homeopathy, vitamin therapy, nutritional therapy, juice therapy, unique herbal therapies, colour therapy, aromatherapy, crystal therapy, rebounding, and whatever other therapies that may now be available.

Indeed, if you are aware of how toxins affect your health and you wish to eliminate these toxins from your body you may want or need to select a lightworker, a healing facilitator and/or a health and wellness practitioner - or any combination of these - who will treat any illness or disease and not just the symptoms.

The selection of a these professionals may very well be one of the most important decisions you will make regarding the future of your health and well-being. When chosen properly, these partnerships can extend your health and wellness while avoiding sickness and disease.

The professionals whom you choose will likely become part of the inner circle of your family, friends, neighbours and working colleagues or business associates as you will no doubt share your newly found optimal health and wellness experiences with these people, some of whom will be ready and willing to pursue optimal health and wellness.

Remember, whether a lightworker, a health and wellness practitioner, or a healing facilitator, they are only one half of the partnership equation - the other half is your own discipline in your self-imposed role of seeking optimal health and wellness.

How do you know whom you should choose? There are an abundance of professionals working within the health and wellness industry, so where do you start? Let's explore some tangible and intangible considerations to enable you to make an informed decision.

Since you are seeking optimal health and wellness, the last thing that either you or a health and wellness professional want is a partnership that does not facilitate the body to heal itself. As a typical client you are awakening to the reality of detoxifying the physical body and establishing mental clarity and the likely outcome is improved physical health and spiritual growth. Taking time out of a busy schedule is a challenge as most people are working long hours to earn sufficient money to pay the usury of their debts and the taxes on the products and/or services that they consume.

Any additional financial costs of achieving and maintaining optimal health and wellness may be a consideration. This is because the cost of many natural or alternative therapies are not covered by the sickness and disease plans that pay for pharmaceutical drugs. In this regard, seek a health and wellness professional who is ready and willing to enrol with a local currency group and accept a portion of any fee in a usuryfree community currency.

Health and wellness professionals are facing ever-increasing regulations and similar time demands as they seek to operate their practices for profit. For these and various others reasons, it is very important for both parties to take time to ensure that they will fit together in the optimal working health and wellness partnership.

Before you ever set up an initial consultation with your chosen health and wellness professionals you should review your eating/drinking habits and resolve to change any known bad habits. You need to be honest with yourself about your commitment to achieving and maintaining optimal health and wellness.

Your health and wellness professionals will offer you solutions (services and/or products), but you must be ready and willing to discipline yourself to obtain the results that you are seeking.

So what kind of partnership are you looking for? Be specific. Are you seeking treatment for symptoms or are you seeking health and wellness professionals who will assist you and guide you to a better understanding of the root cause of any sickness or disease? Are you seeking guidance in better food choices? Do you need a health and wellness practitioner who is willing to work with other health and wellness professionals whom you have already selected to be on your team?

These are a few of the many questions to consider.

Spend some time thinking about your physical history and your life experiences. What is the current status of your health and wellness? Have you endured sickness and disease? To what extent? What kinds of foods and drinks do you consume on a regular basis? Living the optimal health and wellness experience is a personal choice - how much discipline are you willing to impose upon yourself to achieve the results you seek?

Know why you are seeking professional health and wellness advice and know your characteristics and level of discipline and related behaviours as a health and wellness advocate. Know that if you are experiencing sickness and disease, you will need an abundance of guidance and re-education.

Other questions to consider. Are you looking for someone to take over the total responsibility for your health and wellness? You willing participation is of the utmost importance. Will you trust the advice of the health and wellness professional or will you need to do your own research?

Are you looking for the lowest cost solution to your health and wellness? How often will you commit to meet with your health and wellness professionals? Be sure to ponder the answers to these questions before you make your final choices of health and wellness professionals.

What about the health and wellness professionals? Review their qualifications to determine their level of competence and expertise. Check for the necessary professional designations. Ask to see any papers of certification. Find out about their background. Visit their work environment. Interview the health and wellness professional about their practice.

Discuss with them how they established their business and who were their mentors. Ask for testimonials of their clients. Closely examine their fee schedule and request details of methods of payment. Ask if they work as part of a team of health and wellness professionals or do they work alone? What vision do they have for their practice? Listen for the types of questions that the health and wellness professional asks you.

You must recognize that health and wellness is becoming a popular business and you need to know where you fit in your health and wellness professional's business. Find out how many clients the health and wellness professional works with. Will you be a 'priority'? How often will you agree to meet? Do you expect to be contacted by your health and wellness professional. What are the expectations of ongoing service?

Once you have closely examined your own needs and motivation for optimal health and wellness, you can compare them against any information gained from your prospective health and wellness professional to see if your interest are truly aligned. Here it comes full circle. What type of partnership are you looking for? Weigh the facts, examine the health and wellness professional's experience, qualifications, service and philosophy and their willingness to participate in the usuryfree community currency movement. Then trust your instincts.

Seek Complementary Health and Wellness Professionals who willingly accept usuryfree community currency. Health and Wellness Professionals in rural eastern Ontario and Western Quebec have accepted these usuryfree community currencies: Tamworth Hours (Tamworth area), BLOG Dollars (Belleville area), Unity Dollars (Madawaska Valley area), Our Community Dollars (Cambridge area), NDG Bucks (Montreal area), Calgary Dollars (Calgary area), Canadian Tire Money (anywhere in Canada), and Kennedy Hours (wherever Tom Kennedy is)...

The reason that these Health and Wellness Professionals can readily accept these usuryfree community currencies is that there are numerous SDI entrepreneurs in the local networks who are willing to accept a portion of any usuryfree community currency in exchange for products and/or services. For example, one SDI entrepreneur accepts a portion of any usuryfree community currency for partial payment of orders of organic foods and/or chemical-free, cleaning products.

Let’s build an ever-expanding database of these Health and Wellness Professionals who will accept a portion of usuryfree community currency in exchange for products and/or services offered. Forward the contact details of these Health and Wellness Professionals to: The UsuryFree Network, P. O. Box 9333, Ottawa, Ontario K1G 3V1 Email: tom@cyberclass.net

Any Health and Wellness Professionals who are willing to accept any usuryfree community currency as partial payment for any products and/or services are invited to directly contact The UsuryFree Network and get listed in our growing Directory of participants who advocate shopping within our own loyal networks.

Working From Number One

2011-08-15T23:40:00.000-07:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

According to Dzogchen Master, Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, a Tibetan teacher and author of Dzogchen Teachings our society is like numbers. Among his many teachings, this Tibetan teacher emphasizes the importance of "working from number one."

I will apply his teaching to my real-life experience whereby I have been advocating the usuryfree lifestyle as the optimal way of living as we progress into this 21st Century.

For example, when we count we always begin at number one. In regards to society, this Tibetan Master invites us to consider ourselves as number one. I, therefore acknowledge that all who live in society come from that place.

It follows that when and where there is number one, there are also many other numbers. As number one, it is essential that we understand our problems and limitations as well as our talents, skills and potential. As we free ourselves of our limitations we will have more effect on number one and therefore on society.

For example, way back in the early 1980's, when I first learned about the design flaw of usury and how it directly and/or indirectly causes violence, war, poverty, scarcity and lack, I began explaining the details to family, friends, neighbours, teaching colleagues and business associates.

Though it seemed that few were willing to be re-educated about the evils of usury and its potential to cause the ever-present shortage of money, more and more people have become interested in sharing the research over the years. I now recognize that since I was "number one" there are now many more "number ones."

As we move beyond 2011, the numbers are growing. During the latter half of the 20th Century, few people believed that the experience of usuryfree living could become a reality during this incarnation. Now, as we approach 2012, many people know about usury and how it causes the growth of debt.

Now many people know that banks never create the interest or usury portion of any loan or mortgage. Now many people know that banks issue brand new money every time a borrower signs a promissory note to become an enslaved debtor.

In summary, more and more people are now "ready and willing" to be re-educated about the problems associated with "living with usury" and the solutions as offered by "living usuryfree."

In this simple example, I consider myself as number one and in this life's journey I am witnessing and experiencing the reality of usuryfree living through my ongoing interactions with those loyal usuryfree creatives who are participating as traders within the usuryfree community currency movement.

Since I am number one, there is the possibility and probability to continue facilitating the evolution towards usuryfree living with knowledge and understanding gained from the various resources that are now being produced by active usuryfree creatives who likewise see themselves as number one. An example of a popular resource is the DVD "Money As Debt" created by Paul Grignon. (To purchase your copy forward an email to: tom@cyberclass.net with "Money As Debt" in the Subject line.)

Ultimately, if we intend the experience of usuryfree living to become a reality for everyone in this world, we must continue to "work from number one." When countless "number ones" are networking and developing in this way, then we hasten the evolution of the reality of usuryfree living for everyone on this planet.

At this time, when our pyramidal infrastructures are crumbling from within, I don't have much faith in the problems of violence, war, poverty, scarcity and lack being solved by the few people who control economics, politics and world power from the tops of their respective pyramids.

I do however, have much faith in networking with expanding numbers of "number ones" at the grassroots of society. The SDI (Self Directed Income) industry offers opportunities within unique pyramidal infrastructures where everyone who chooses to participate wins.

Frankly, it is very important that as practising usuryfree creatives and/or becoming usuryfree creatives on the path towards usuryfree living, we realize the significance of "working from number one" as an active SDI entrepreneur.

In reality, becoming a usuryfree creative means aspiring to live a usuryfree lifestyle as "number one" in a loyal community of many other "number ones."

Leadership For UsuryFree Creatives - Who Double as SDI Entrepreneurs

2011-08-15T23:01:00.000-07:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

Most usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs are aware that the common denominator of successful leadership is learning how to apply the concept of effective goal setting in an rigged economic system of usury-based, debt money.

Indeed, the greatest challenge facing these entrepreneurial usuryfree creatives is to achieve the ultimate goal of usuryfree living in an economic world where the killer machine of usury is still the dominant conrtol mechanism keeping debtors subservient to their respective creditors for generation after generation.

Committed usuryfree creatives who double as active SDI entrepreneurs have goals that are intertwined within three overlapping circles that create a Venn diagram: (A) Circle of Awareness (B) Circle of Influence and (C) Circle of Intent with Action.

The overlapping or intersection of the three circles symbolically represents the successful, SDI entrepreneur who learns how to effectively blend the optimal elements from the three circles listed above.

Our Circle of Awareness constantly expands to encompass everything that we are learning from our self-imposed process of re-education. Issues that constantly surface in our respective Circles of Awareness are commonly related to conventional and alternative approaches to economics, justice, education, energy, religion, medicine etc.

Usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs are either fully informed about the lies, deceits and deceptions that are being exposed or are ready and willing to learn what formal education neglects to teach.

Though it is important for usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs to know of the issues that we become aware of in our respective Circle of Awareness, experience teaches us that we have little ability to control or effect change within the various, conventional heirarchies. However, with newly acquired knowledge, it is possible for these usuryfree creatives to make a difference by focusing their goals on the 2nd and 3rd Circles while being re-educated in the Circle of Awareness.

Our second circle - the Circle of Influence - is where action can follow our thoughts so that we can make a difference in our respective local communities. While we may not be able to influence the global banking cartel, we can change the way we spend our money. This simple action indirectly attacks the global banking cartel. Usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs are ideally positioned to promote loyalty shopping within our respective Circles of Influence.

This is because SDI entrepreneurs can access quality products at wholesale prices and thereby re-sell them to customers and accept partial federal cash and partial usuryfree community currency for negotiated exchanges. This action introduces customers to both the usuryfree community currency movement and the SDI industry.

Usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs can also make food choices that support local entrepreneurs rather than spending our shopping dollars of debt money with the giant, trans-national corporations.

Our third Circle of Intent with Action is where usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs can make the greatest impact since our actions on our self-imposed mission follows our intent. By setting reachable goals we can refine our intent based on the accessable resources made available within our Circles of Awareness and Circles of Influence.

For the usuryfree creative who doubles as an SDI entrepreneur, the Circles of Awareness and Circles of Influence both increase in direct proportion to an expanding awareness of the cause of the conventional problems associated with wars, violence, poverty, scarcity and lack and a willingness to explore solution-oriented concepts that foster the experience of usuryfree living.

It is essential to remember that action follows intent, and intent follows thought, and thought is provoked or triggered with new information that challenges what formal education teaches.

Usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs are commonly dedicated to setting goals to re-educate themselves on issues that formal education neglects to teach. This enables them to establish their intent and thereafter take action to influence other debtors to strive to achieve a usuryfree lifestyle.

Certainly, launching an SDI enterprise increases the possibility for any usuryfree creative (or becoming usuryfree creative) to experience a usuryfree lifestyle. Ultimately, an SDI Portfolio where SDI entrepreneurs earn income(s) from more than one source will become the norm as we progress into this 21st Century.

All debtors are cordially invited to become usuryfree creatives and learn how to intertwine their respective, personal goals within the three circles that create the Venn diagram as described above.

Readers who are ready now to create an SDI Portfolio are invited to forward an email to: tom@cyberclass.net with “SDI Portfolio” in the Subject line and we will share details of some possibilities.

Integration Within the SDI Industry and the Third Market Network

2011-08-10T23:41:00.000-07:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

The SDI (Self Directed Income) industry is formerly known as the MLM (Multi-Level Marketing industry or the Network Marketing industry. The Third Market Network is that growing network of consumers who are choosing to do business locally - with small to medium-sized retail merchants and/or with home-based enterprises whereby the business owners are open to negotiating trades/exchanges by using any usuryfree community currency as a complement with their diminishing amounts of federal cash.

The First Market is commonly referred to as that conventional market where consumers flock to the giant retail corporations with the hopes of saving some money. The Second Market which is commonly referred to as the “underground market” or the “black market” is the biggest market in these modern times – though all levels of government deny this. Historically, the growth of the Second Market has been proportional to the increase in these two monthly payments – usury and taxes.

The Third Market is the market of choice for more and more awakening consumers who are re-educating themselves on topics that formal education neglects to teach. People who identify with the Third Market are proud to be a part of the Third Market Network where they are learning much about the lies, deceit and deception that has been foisted upon them during the 20th Century. Most importantly, they are learning that they can create and spend their own money for FREE instead of using the bankers’ money and paying them a fee that is commonly referred to as ‘interest’ BUT which ought to be correctly identified as ‘usury.’

The Third Market Network is focusing on creating a database of the 1.3+ million SDI entrepreneurs who are operating home-based enterprises. To build this Third Market Network we must be open-minded and be willing to integrate ‘vertically’ and ‘horizontally’ with all SDI entrepreneurs regardless of which SDI company supplies the products and/or services. Consequently, let us focus on ‘re-educating’ the consumers on why the way they spend their money is more important than how they vote in this 21st Century and thereby permit the free market to operate and as awakening consumers make better choices as they grow in knowledge and wisdom. Let’s honour their choices as awakening consumers instead of making judgements and/or coercing them to choose one SDI company’s product line over another.

The secret to the success of the SDI entrepreneurs growing the Third Market Network in this 21st Century, will be knowledge, awareness and implementation of ‘vertical and horizontal integration.’ The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines ‘integration’ as the completion of an imperfect thing by the addition of parts or components. The Third Market Network recognizes the significance of ‘vertical and horizontal integration’ within the SDI industry and seeks to blend the best of both to create fast-growth towards the reality of ‘usuryfree’ living.

‘Vertical integration’ is often lauded as a respected quality of SDI (Self Directed Income) companies which manufacture their own product lines as it provides several advantages over those companies that do not oversee every aspect of business from growing the raw ingredients to packaging the end products. Those SDI companies which excel in the area of ‘vertical integration’ can not only guarantee the high quality of their products but they can also minimize distribution and manufacturing costs thereby keeping competitive prices while paying their networkers optimal profits.

While the Third Market Network welcomes SDI entrepreneurs from any duly recognized SDI company, its discerning networkers who double as usuryfree creatives will quickly become astute prosumers, thereby negotiating trades/exchanges with those like-minded SDI entrepreneurs whose product guarantees are honoured. No doubt, the most popular SDI companies will quickly become aware of the importance of ‘vertical integration.’

‘Horizontal integration’ is historically defined as referring to firms/companies engaging in similar stages or types of manufacturing and/or distribution. Within the Third Market Network ‘horizontal integration’ will be optimized by those SDI entrepreneurs who learn how to access within their ever-expanding loyal databases almost every product and/or service needed/wanted for personal, family and/or business use.

Learning how to build a unique SDI Portfolio that provides multiple streams of income is the unique challenge of the 21st Century this can only be achieved through honesty, integrity and closed with a handshake. No longer will SDI home offices be positioned to terminate distributorships because and SDI entrepreneur has created a paper trail of earning from more than one source because no longer will creative SDI entrepreneurs choose to sign papers when they care told to press hard, as five copies are required by the home office.

For example, if I am registered with SDI company A as a Marketing Executive I will have access to their many lines of products at ‘preferred customer’ or ‘wholesale’ prices. If I approach another SDI entrepreneur listed on the Third Market Network database who offers products from SDI company B, I may choose to negotiate a buy/sell arrangement with his/her to trade/exchange selected products using partial federal cash and partial usuryfree community currency.

We can negotiate these trades/exchanges and close them with a handshake and use federal cash and/or usuryfree community currency to honour any required payments. No longer will we fear reprimands from the home office police of the respective SDI companies which still seek to control us even though we identify ourselves as authentic SDI entrepreneurs.

Frankly, I promote the 10% ‘gifting’ concept whereby I will gift 10% of any sale to the individual who makes the referral. If we all did this is would create an incredible exchange energy that would breed abundance and prosperity and the ‘system’ would not be able to track and tax our prosperity – especially if we do the majority of it with a combination of federal cash and usuryfree community currency.

Message to Leading SDI Entrepreneurs

2011-08-10T22:09:00.000-07:00

I am motivated to share this detailed communication with leading SDI (Self Directed Income) entrepreneurs because I view them as potential .001 percenters. Who are SDI SDI entrepreneurs? SDI entrepreneurs are otherwise or formerly known as multi-level marketing distributors or network marketing or referral marketing associates. I prefer the term “SDI entrepreneurs” as it leaves behind the negative energy associated with the multi-level marketing and network marketing industry in the latter years of the 20th Century.

Who are .001 percenters? They are that tiny minority of fellow-citizens who are awakening to what is really going on in the local, national and global circles of usury-based debt-money, energy, religion, sickness and disease, raw power and political greed, as well as what is going on in the usuryfree community currency movement, alternative energy, health and wellness, community re-building and spirituality. I see leading SDI entrepreneurs as potential “usuryfree creatives” thereby deserving to be referred to as .001 percenters.

Usuryfree creatives are those re-educated fellow-citizens who are now advocating usuryfree living as the preferred lifestyle of this 21st Century. They are creating their own loyal database of traders/barterers who are committed to spending their money
differently by making a commitment to shop with home-based businesses and small to medium-sized community businesses. Using a usuryfree community currency as a complement with federal cash when negotiating trades is a definite trademark of any usuryfree creative.

I highly recommend that SDI entrepreneurs view the DVD set entitled ‘Money As Debt I & II’ (search for it at google video) and the DVD ‘Money: Who Creates It, Who Controls It’ so that they will understand the evil of the design flaw of usury and the power and potential of usuryfree living and how it has the potential to create peace, prosperity and abundance for everyone on this planet. Leading SDI entrepreneurs are potentially key personalities to aid in the building of this new database of usuryfree creatives.

I have agreed to commit to changing the way I spend my money for the next 13 months, and my first step in that direction is to commit to purchasing a minimum monthly purchase of $200. (Canadian Funds) from selected SDI companies. When open-minded and co-operative leaders emerge in our respective SDI Networks, then all who participate will reap the benefits of mutual co-operation each month. As this happens, we will be grateful and we will spend any extra earnings promoting and advancing the cause of usuryfree living for the mutual benefit of everyone on planet earth.

Please, share whatever research turns up about any optimal product lines as offered by various SDI companies as we seek to promote the best options of quality products and/or services for our loyal networks.

I visualize SDI networks as a way to grow the database of usuryfree creatives which is currently being crafted in various local communities so that participants can purchase products and/or services from fellow SDI entrepreneurs and/or from local small to medium-sized retail businesses by using partial federal cash and partial usuryfree community currency.

I have been promoting this idea of we-the-consumers making a conscious choice to shop within our own loyal database since early in 2000. Many people have said it is a worthy goal BUT to my knowledge, absolutely no one in a leadership capacity within the SDI industry has come forth to support and implement the idea as of this current date.

Some of my friends and associates within the various SDI infrastructures have had some discussions to consider the idea of supporting our own loyal database but no definitive action has been taken. In the meantime, various communities have commenced to build the local databases of participating traders with the Serenity Dollar, the Unity Dollar, the Calgary Dollar, the Ithaca Hour and the Tamworth Hour etc. Hopefully, others from the usuryfree community currency movement will join with entrepreneurs from the SDI industry and our own loyal database will begin to take shape in 2011.

No matter which SDI companies we choose to support, we are in the ‘people’ business and the ‘product’ business is secondary to this primary motive. It’s all about building partnerships with people who are willing and ready to share experiences and learn from each other.

In fact, before I register with any SDI Team to become a ‘preferred customer’ I intend to seek a commitment from the leadership of that SDI network that they are ready and willing to learn about and promote the concept of usuryfree living and how they can implement any usuryfree community currency to promote and expand their SDI enterprise(s).

A membership within any participating group offers one many benefits. One benefit will be to re-build our respective local communities by spending our money with local entrepreneurs. Another potential benefit is to become a follower of the blog - the UsuryFree Eye Opener. Yet another benefit will be discounted admissions to various meetings and workshops.

Our willing supporters – the true .001 percenters – recognize that we are currently entering a significant transition time. During this transition time we must earn some federal cash to complement our usuryfree community currency because we cannot yet acquire all of our personal, family and business needs solely with a usuryfree community currency.

You, who have earned your degree as a true .001 percenter, know that the debt increases exponentially because of 'interest' which ought to be correctly called 'usury.' And it is also correct that when 'usury' is eliminated from the money equation there will be abundance, peace and plenty for everyone on this planet. If you have not yet visited the UsuryFree Network, I am inviting you to read some of the information posted there.

We, who understand that the design flaw of 'usury' is the killer machine that is the key cause of violence, war, poverty, scarcity and lack are indeed true .001 percenters. Those who do not yet understand are the 99.999 percenters. It has been determined by mathematicians that we need to awaken only 3% of the population to the 'truth' about 'usuryfree economics' and this will create the critical mass needed to 're-educate' the masses at a very rapid rate.

I envision this happening within the next two to five years but we – the ‘usuryfree creatives’ must take a leadership role now to make things happen. That’s what I am doing.

I see absolutely no point in dismissing any SDI company’s products as too expensive during these transitory times. We the .001 percenters, the ‘usuryfree creatives’ need to walk in and out of as many circles’ of people as possible. To bad-mouth or dismiss one SDI company’s products as too expensive and keep buying the cheaper products from the giant retail stores will only ensure the same result that we have been experiencing for far too long. We need to unite and do it NOW!

Our self-imposed mission is to re-educate as many 'usury keepers' as possible in the quickest time possible. Those who will choose to NOT to truly understand what 'usury' really does to our orthodox system of money will soon reveal themselves regardless of which SDI infrastructure they are associated with.

I am choosing to invest my time with awakening individuals who are just now learning that banks do NOT lend out depositors' funds. Indeed, more and more people are ready and willing to listen to committed .001 percenters who have an abundance of relevant resources to share.

If I had not been open to walking in various SDI circles in Montreal, Ottawa. Toronto and elsewhere, I would not have been able to influence some selected SDI leaders to awaken to the ‘truth’ about ‘usury.’ More significant, is the fact that these SDI leaders are now realizing that their respective SDI networks have many talented individuals with skills and/or services and/or products other than the products offered by their respective SDI product supplier.

They are realizing the advantage of having everyone in their respective SDI networks listed on a common database, whereby everyone is encouraged to spend their money within this database when purchasing products and/or services, thereby creating a different result. Currently, we are seeking to enroll individuals in one or more of the active databases and offering them a FREE listing in a forthcoming directory which could be printed and/or online.

We are teaching people how to create and spend their own 'usuryfree' community currency. I have made a decision to invest my time with individuals who are open and out-of-the-box thinkers who are willing to spend their money differently in 2011 and beyond. I choose to not argue/debate with 'usury keepers' who are intent on defending a wrong that must be corrected.

We are seeking to network with leading SDI (Self Directed Income) entrepreneurs who are enrolled with ethical and leading SDI companies whereby we teach people the importance of spending their money differently. That is to say, instead of continuing to spend money with giant retailers, big box stores and large franchises we teach people to shop within our own loyal database of home-based businesses and small to medium-sized businesses in our respective local communities.

Our long term mission is to connect every home-based and small to medium-sized business in Canada and the United States (and eventually the world) into one large database where we can create and spend our own usuryfree community currency – which will likely be a ‘time currency.’ This database could be referred to as the Third Market Network.

I have openly supported the concept of SDI entrepreneurs building an SDI Portfolio whereby, each individual is earning income from multiple sources. I maintain that as SDI entrepreneurs we have the right to purchase and operate a distributorship with more than one SDI company. Likewise, we have the right to network selected products from any SDI company for partial federal cash and partial usuryfree community currency within our circles of influence – family, friends, neighbours and working colleagues.

Alternatively, we can negotiate purchases of products and/or services from fellow SDI entrepreneurs rather than enrolling as an active distributor for that particular SDI company. We can initiate inter-trading of products and/or services. It is important to understand that when we negotiate any trade or exchange, we should request federal cash to cover any wholesale costs. The retail mark-up of the negotiated sale of any product can be accepted in any usuryfree community currency.

For example, if I purchase a product at a wholesale cost of $60.00 and it retails for a price of $100.00 I can accept $60.00 federal cash and $40.00 of any usuryfree community currency when I sell the product to someone on our own loyal database. Obviously, the more SDI companies that we welcome to be on our database, the more powerful our database becomes.

Understand also that during these transitory times, eco-friendly products are becoming popular and this is a first step in the right direction. For example, I put a spoonful of a conventional dishwasher detergent in some aluminum foil and squeezed it tightly and left it on the counter. Within 5 minutes, the foil was making noise and emitting smells and gases.

This simple demonstration shows the chemical being released from the conventional dishwasher detergent. A similar demonstration of a selected eco-friendly dishwasher detergent emitted no chemicals, no odours, and no gases. This simple demonstration was sufficient to have three friends make a decision to purchase the eco-friendly dishwasher detergent.

My point is that these friends still purchase pharmaceutical vitamins etc. and yet they have decided to change the way they spend their money for dishwashing detergent. By winning them over as customers of eco-friendly cleaning products, I will now have an opportunity to share more information with them as they seem ready to be re-educated.

If I had dismissed the eco-friendly SDI company as no better than the corporate products on the shelves of the giant retail stores and/or the big box stores or the big franchises, then I would have missed this small opportunity. I am of the opinion that the current lines of eco-friendly products are not perfect BUT they are a step in the right direction.

Amway is one of the key pioneering SDI companies. An SDI company started this year may indeed be a new SDI opportunity. There are many SDI companies that are somewhere in between and, any of these companies may choose to play a significant role during these transitory times. Each SDI company has many products that are different from other SDI products products. Every time an individual buys a products from an SDI company, a number of participating individuals within the respective SDI infrastructure get paid a commission. The SDI marketing model is perfect for motivating consumers to spend their money differently.

On of my friends who understands the potential of bartering/trading with any usuryfree community currency filed for bankruptcy in June 2002. He and his wife started their SDI enterprise in July 2002 and shortly thereafter, they are earning $3000+ every month and their income is rising very fast now as they have a solid foundation of repeat customers
buying products every month.

Such financial achievement is noteworthy and respected by myself and other ‘usuryfree creatives.’ We know that we can share our acquired knowledge with others and promote selected SDI products within our own loyal database and earn some federal cash and some usuryfree community currency at the same time.

I fully expect one or more SDI companies to emerge in the not-too-distant future that will be embrace the concept of ‘usuryfree’ living and make a usuryfree community currency a part of their infrastructure from their initial launch. This will make them more popular than existing SDI companies unless these existing SDI companies incorporate the idea of a usuryfree community currency within their already existing infrastructure.

Who knows? Anything is possible!! I welcome your feedback and constructive critical comments.

Enjoy this day!
Working with you for 'peace and plenty' by 2020
AND 'Let’s celebrate usuryfree heaven in 2011’

Four Things You Can Do To Control Your Destiny In 2011 And Beyond

2011-08-10T20:00:00.000-07:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

1. Research the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry with a goal to enroll as an SDI entrepreneur and create your own SDI Portfolio.

2. Establish a part-time, home-based, SDI enterprise

3. Network with local currency groups and agree to accept community currency as partial payment for any negotiated sales of products and/or services offered by your SDI enterprise.

4. Take advantage of the ‘tax credit’ machinery for federal political parties that is available for anyone who files an income tax form in Canada.

Indeed, if you are seeking to lead a balanced life on your own ‘economic lifeboat’ in 2011 and beyond, it is highly recommended that you take immediate action on the four above-mentioned suggestions.

Whether you are an employee, a salaried professional, a commissioned salesperson or the owner of a conventional business with employees, you are probably struggling to make ends meet after you pay the monthly usury, taxes and utility bills. You are exceptional if you have any time and/or energy left over to enjoy the lifestyle you deserve.

Based on current events and ongoing statistics your job or business security may be threatened by the shifting economic paradigm as we progress into this 21st Century. Why are you faced with these dilemmas?

The grim reality of the changing marketplace is that there is no longer any loyalty from the employer nor the employee. Either one can quickly become the next victim of our fragile and fickle economic system of usury-based economics.

What To Do?

The optimal strategy is to do your own research on our faltering, orthodox economic system and find out why the majority of your earnings is siphoned off to pay ‘usury on debt’ and ‘multiple forms of taxes.’ It is noteworthy that the greatest tax is ‘income taxes’ and a high percentage of every dollar of ‘income taxes’ goes directly to pay for debt service – which is correctly defined as ‘usury’ on government debt, at all levels, municipal, provincial/state and federal.

As a starting point for your self-imposed process of re-education, it is recommended that you purchase or rent a copy of the recently released DVD entitled ‘Money As Debt.’ Watch this DVD as many times as needed for you to grasp the critical economic concepts that formal education neglected to teach you. Then share the content of this DVD with your family, friends, neighbours, working colleagues and anyone else who is ready and willing to be re-educated. These newly enlightened people will become your dedicated team of networkers who will likewise be motivated to control their own destiny in 2007 and beyond.

For full details about how to buy or rent the DVD ‘Money As Debt’ forward an email to tom@cyberclass.net with ‘Money As Debt’ in the subject line or telephone:1.888.NOUSURY

The SDI Industry:

Your next area of research is the ever-expanding SDI industry. This industry includes any part-time or full time home-based enterprise that offers consumers products or services or any combination thereof. Basically, any enterprise or portfolio of enterprises where your earnings are self-directed qualifies as a duly identified SDI enterprise. Certainly, any direct sales enterprise including any network marketing, multi-level marketing or referral-based enterprise is correctly defined as an SDI enterprise.

Firstly, you are invited to read the article ‘An Analysis of the SDI Industry’ which is posted at this URL:
http://sdi-usuryfree.blogspot.com/2009/03/analysis-projections-observations.html

Then review and remember these staggering statistics about the SDI industry. There are approximately 20 million SDI entrepreneurs in the United States. Routinely, Canada has about 10% of that number (2 million) since Canada’s population is about 10% of the population of the United States. The SDI industry is currently generating about $32 billion in annual revenue when we include both Canada and the United States.

Newsweek Magazine has published an article explaining that 50% of all households in the United States are operating a home-based enterprise – which fits the definition of an SDI enterprise.

The Small Business Administration Department of the US Federal Government released an Annual Report in 2005 called ‘The Small Business Economy: A Report To The President.’ In this report, it is written: ‘Direct selling has grown more than 91% in the last 10 years and currently enjoys sales of $100 billion worldwide.’ This report also states that these SDI entrepreneurs who operate home-based enterprises work on average 10 hours less each week than those entrepreneurs who own conventional, non-home-based businesses.

Why Is The SDI Industry So Popular?

SDI entrepreneurs are launching their enterprise(s) with minimal investments of money – often less than $100. – while maximizing their investment of time and energy with knowledge learned from competent mentors. Few SDI entrepreneurs have previous business experience when they launch their first enterprise of the SDI Portfolio, yet this low risk industry boasts of ever-increasing earning potential for all who choose to pursue their goals.

The success of SDI entrepreneurs is related to their mentors who share their talents, skills, experiences and resources as well as adapting proven marketing plans for enrolling wholesale customers and serving networks of preferred retail customers.

It is amazing that the SDI industry generates significant revenue – locally and globally – while the mainstream media dismisses this phenomenon as ‘not newsworthy.’ Perhaps this is because little money is spent with the high profile, electronic and print media for conventional advertising.

Instead, the SDI corporations and distributor networks rely on word-of-mouth networking and they find this method of advertising the least expensive and the most effective.

Historically, the SDI industry has excelled on networking to build trusting partnerships that result in expanding sales. This partnership-based model of doing business is destined to grow as more and more astute consumers seek to spend their money within their own loyal networks of family, friends, working colleagues who double as business associates.

Additionally, SDI entrepreneurs qualify for significant deductions based on the cost of doing business and therefore, benefit from tax savings not otherwise available to employees or salaried individuals.

The other appealing element of the SDI industry is that monthly, residual earnings can be generated from one or more sources as one builds an SDI Portfolio.

When you are ready to explore some worthy SDI opportunities with the intent of choosing the optimal one to start (or add to) your SDI Portfolio forward an email to: tom@cyberclass.net with ‘SDI Opportunity’ in the subject line or telephone: 1.888.NOUSURY.

The Community Currency Movement:

The third activity that is a natural twin with any SDI enterprise is the growing awareness of accepting any community currency for partial payment of any negotiated sales. The key to maximizing this creative element is to treat any paper notes of community currency as having a value equivalent to paper notes of federal cash.

Any SDI entrepreneur can agree to accept any community currency as a complement with federal cash, but in order to get your products and/or services listed on any database you must enroll or join with an active community currency group or network.

It is common practice for an SDI entrepreneur to request federal cash to cover the wholesale costs of any product or service and agree to accept any community currency for a portion of the retail mark up. The percentage of community currency accepted is at the discretion of the SDI entrepreneur.

To familiarize yourself with the community currency movement, you are invited to view some CDs, DVDS, videos and/or read some books or literature and/or attend a seminar or workshop that explains the many benefits of participating.

To request the latest and best resources and/or to attend a workshop or seminar about the community currency movement, forward an email to: tom@cyberclass.net with ‘Community Currency’ in the subject line or telephone: 1.866.NOUSURY.

In spite of the chaotic economic times that are currently being forecasted by the economic experts, you can take control of your destiny and build your own ‘economic lifeboat’ by taking action on the ideas explained in this article. DO IT NOW!!

The ‘Tax Credit’ Machinery:

The fourth tool that is recommended for implementation by SDI entrepreneurs is the ‘tax credit’ machinery that is available for use by anyone filing an annual income tax form in Canada. The Elections Canada Act supervises the ‘tax credit’ machinery so that the common people who choose to participate in the political process can earn back some money from the federal government.

For example, with a donation of $400. to a duly registered, federal, political party, the donor gets a $300. ‘tax credit’ back from the federal government when the annual income tax form is filed. This percentage of ‘tax credit’ decreases as the donated amount increases.

Historically, less than 1% of those who pay income taxes take advantage of the ‘tax credit’ machinery as offered by the Elections Canada Act. In 2007, let’s increase that percentage significantly.

Active usuryfree creatives are currently communicating with various duly registered, federal (fringe) political parties seeking one or more that are willing to engage in mutually beneficial political activities.

Hopefully, a leader of a duly registered, federal, political party will come forth and authorize EDAs otherwise known as (Electoral District Associations) and permit them to be as automonous as the Elections Canada Act permits them to be.

Usuryfree creatives can implement this ‘tax credit’ machinery within EDAs to raise funds with a goal to advancing the agenda of monetary reform. Eventually, our goal is to control our political destiny and implement the necessary laws that will guarantee each of us the experience of usuryfree living and ‘peace and plenty’ by 2020 !!

Have No Fear of the Word “Pyramid”

2011-08-09T21:32:00.001-07:00

By Tommy UsuryFree Kennedy

I am responding to occasional emails and/or telephone calls wherein grave concerns are expressed about using the word "pyramid" in relation to the SDI industry.

Though I am personally registered as an SDI entrepreneur in a couple of SDI companies, I also freely share referrals with friends and associates who are registered as SDI entrepreneurs with other SDI companies. And I make a sincere effort to purchase products and/or services that I require for personal and family needs as well as business needs from other SDI entrepreneurs who are offering quality products and/or services different than those offered from my own SDI enterprise(s).

Additionally, I realize that within each household or family that has an active SDI enterprise, each of these family members likely have other talents, skills, products and/or services available for purchase. What is needed is a Directory of “offers” and “requests” that can be shared with all SDI entrepreneurs who enrol with our respective SDI networks.

Buying from each other supports and builds loyalty within our respective SDI networks. Since many of the corporate leaders subtley influence their teams of SDI entrepreneurs to become focused on the one SDI business opportunity, buying products and/or services from other SDI entrepreneurs should be uniformly promoted within the SDI industry.

One of the best ways to promote loyalty shopping within the SDI industry is to encourage each SDI entrepreneur to create his/her personal, usuryfree community currency to be used as a complement with federal cash when trades/exchanges are being negotiated. Readers are invited to do a search for “usuryfree community currency” and learn more about the usuryfree community currency movement.

By applying the above suggestions, it encourage consumers to change their shopping habits away from corporate monopolies to home-based businesses and local community entrepreneurs.

I have been participating in the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry (otherwise known as Multi-level marketing, Network Marketing, Referral Marketing and/or Affiliate Marketing) for 32 years and I have been actively promoting this industry since 1979.

I will now offer some observations on the whole scenario involving the word "pyramid," and the SDI industry and invite some further typed discussion and/or real-time debate on the issues that I will now address.

For background information about the SDI industry you are invited to visit The SDI Cyberclassroom at these URLs: http://www.cyberclass.net/sdilessons.htm, http://www.cyberclass.net/sdihallmarks.htm & http://sdi-usuryfree.blogspot.com/2009/03/analysis-projections-observations.html

The SDI (Self Directed Income) industry of which many companies are a part happens to be a legitimate and honourable business opportunity in Canada, the USA and in many other countries. The federal government and the giant corporations whose CEO's form the "usury" elites which have been controlling society for much too long have been seeking to defame and badmouth the SDI industry for as long as I've been alive - that's 62 years. The "usury" elites do not like the SDI industry because it permits the common citizens to earn some money and break away from the yoke of "usury" that was designed to keep us in bondage for our entire lives.

It's time for we the individual SDI entrepreneurs in co-operation with the corporate SDI companies to STOP cowering and hiding in fear of the federal government or anyone else from the "usury" elites. I have always advocated telling the "truth" and let the chips fall where they may. I'll stand on "truth" any day!!!

Any concern about the word "pyramid" is unnecessary. There is no need to be concerned about telling the "truth" - that indeed the shape of any marketing organization in the SDI industry is that of a "pyramid."

No one from any SDI Corporate team nor any Independent SDI entrepreneur ought to be afraid of the word "pyramid" for every orthodox business and institutional structure is built with a pyramid shape. The pyramid shape common to the SDI infrastructure is different and much superior to the traditional pyramid shapes of corporations and institutions. In fact, pyramid shapes in the SDI industry are commonly reversed.

I have been active in the SDI industry since March 29th, 1979 when I signed an Amway application form. I want it to be clear that for 32 years I have been participating in this industry and I have found it to be the most honourable marketing industry of the 21st Century to be involved with. I am a proud professional, SDI entrepreneur in the SDI (Self Directed Income) industry just as others are proud professionals in the conventional retail industry.

My research about "pyramid structured" system of orthodox banking has been intensive indeed. When I talk about exposing "usury" as a design flaw in the banking system of debt money, I can direct readers to the research to back up my claim should anyone ever be interested.

Also understand that when I criticize the banking industry for its taking of "usury," I am criticizing the world banking elites who know exactly that their "usurious" banking policies have a direct impact on the 40,000 babies and youth that die every day on planet earth because of "scarcity and lack." I am not critical of the employees at the fringe of the banking pyramid as they are common people earning a monthly pay cheque to pay their usury and taxes and hopefully have enough money left to enjoy life.

This is a whole other area of research and I do not wish to go there right now. But do keep in mind that these are the same "usury" elites at the top of the heirarchy (banking pyramid) who with the support of ill-informed politicians, initiate the laws about sales "pyramids" in the direct marketing industry - to create fear within the minds of the common people. Self-motivated researchers are invited to bookmark the UsuryFree Eye Opener and return there frequently to review the articles and learn what formal education neglects to teach.  

Let me clarify the "pyramid structure" of the banking system as I understand it to be. You have the CEO at the top who earns multiple millions. Then you have the Regional Directors, (please correct me if my titles are incorrect) and Regional Managers, Branch Managers and clerks and finally customers. As you come down the pyramid people earn less money and as you go up the pyramid there is diminishing job opportunity.

I experienced a similar "pyramid structure" in the educational system for 34 years. There is the director (who is paid a pile of money), then superintendents, then consultants, then principals, vice-principals, teachers and finally students and parents - the local property owners whose taxes are levied to pay the teachers’ salaries.   Likewise, in the traditional educational pyramid people earn less money as you come down the pyramid and there is diminishing job opportunity as you climb the pyramid. I never witnessed a Director of Education reach out to help a teacher and I daresay that you have never seen the CEO of any Commercial Bank reach out to help a clerk. BUT in the SDI industry you will witness people with experience reaching out to help the new enrollees.

One more observation about climbing the educational pyramid. I observed plenty of jealously, and back-stabbing and fear among those who were scrambling to climb the pyramid. I got to watch it all for 34 years as I never had any inclination to climb the educational pyramid.

My research about the SDI industry proves my claim that it is a "worthy pyramid selling venture." I proudly admit that the SDI industry is based on a pyramid structure. In the pyramid structure of the SDI industry "the uniting of efforts multiplies the benefits."

Let me explain further:

Traditionally, CEO's, Department Heads, Sales Managers, Directors of Education etc. who are positioned at or near the top of their respective pyramids in the retail industry and/or in traditional institutions earn their profits from the work of dedicated and loyal people who are positioned at various levels below them. Since these people are strategically positioned at or near the top of a particular pyramid with diminishing opportunity they are unlikely to reach out and help those at the lower levels whose dedication and hard work is directly related to their receiving high salaries. In fact, people often reach their level of incompetence and then defend their right to be there.  

Within the relatively new SDI industry, each new recruit is positioned at the top of their own respective pyramid and each person must reach out and help their new enrolees make sales (retail and/or wholesale) before they earn their commissions and expand their pyramidal structure. The action of reaching out to help others demands that one first nourish personal growth from within.

The uniqueness of the SDI industry is the manner in which the "uniting of efforts multiplies the benefits." Unlike traditional pyramidal structures, where there is little or no opportunity for others to move up the pyramid, the SDI industry permits every new recruit the same opportunity to become Manager of his/her own pyramid-shaped structure. While doing so s/he acquires leadership skills by learning how to "unite the efforts of others and thereby multiplying the benefits for all."

  In the SDI industry, a motivated new enrolee can often earn more income that the person who sponsored him/her. No traditional "pyramid structure" permits a new person at the fringe to earn more money that the person at the top of the pyramid. After experiencing the SDI industry for 32 years I can honestly say that those operating within traditional "pyramid structures" could learn a few good strategies from leaders in the SDI industry.

During the month of July 2001, myself and Neil Anderson - a re-directed government employee from Ottawa who had 30 years (part-time) experience in the SDI industry - worked on a report about the SDI industry so that we could present some information to teach people the truth about this fastest growing sector of local and global marketing.

We finished our report on July 30th and I released it at the conference where I was a guest speaker in Salmon Arm, BC. on August 5th, 2001. The paper is entitled: "Analysis, Projections, Observations & Proposals For The SDI Industry" and it is now posted at this URL:
http://sdi-usuryfree.blogspot.com/2009/03/analysis-projections-observations.html

In the meantime, I am witnessing many SDI companies moving along and growing very well. Some SDI entrepreneurs voluntarily "gift" me with "usury-free" community currency for my referrals. Numerous customers that I am finding are from friends and associates in the "Untax/Detax/Refusetax/Anti-tax" Movement. http://www.cyberclass.net/untax.htm

It is interesting to note that the SDI industry invites our up and coming youth generation to work with worthy SDI companies, instead of spending their money with the giant, trans-national, retail corporations.

SDI entrepreneurs earn perfectly legitimate bonuses and commissions within a reasonable marketing structure to fund their education (or otherwise) by simply sharing information about competitive and quality products and/or services. I have been encouraging the youth (and otherwise) to spend their money differently by shopping within the SDI industry.

I do plenty to promote the SDI industry and yet I get a telephone calls and/or emails from SDI corporate leaders and SDI entrepreneurs expressing grave concern about the word "pyramid" as applied to the SDI industry. I have even been threatened with “termination” of an SDI distributorship if I do not comply with their restrictive rules that actually go against the definition of true "free enterprise." How ironic!!

I have often elected to forward my referrals to friends and associates who are active SDI entrepreneurs. During the past 32 years I have witnessed too many friends and associates be ruthlessly terminated by company "A" because they choose to add company "B" to their SDI Portfolio. I openly advocate building an SDI Portfolio to guarantee monthly earnings from more than one source.

Likewise, I encourage people to change their shopping habits and explain that by so doing, they are supporting home-based businesses. Indeed, more and more consumers are ready and willing to change their shopping habits and buy more and more products from home-based businesses and by so doing, the SDI industry expands.

Let The ‘Re-Education’ and ‘Re-Structuring’ of the SDI Industry Begin

2011-08-09T20:29:00.000-07:00

By Tommy UsuryFree Kennedy

In my ongoing personal research and borrowing from forwarded emails from other great SDI (Self Directed Income) entrepreneurs I have been compiling information and resources about the SDI Industry and how the portfolio concept is becoming more popular in the 21st Century. Learn more about the SDI Portfolio and the SDI industry by reviewing the information, resources and links, all of which can be accessed from The SDI Cyberclassroom: and at The SDI Eye Opener:

The SDI Eye Opener in co-operation with leaders from various SDI companies is preparing to penetrate the 'Re-education' Market so that those who are ready and willing to "learn what they don't know they don't know" will have access to local and distance e-learning (that's electronic learning online) as well as the more traditional ways of local and distance learning – with telephone, fax, audio and video cassettes, CD’s and DVD’s, books, gatherings in local communities and/or at kitchen tables in homes and hotel meetings.

The SDI Eye Opener has been reviewing and evaluating new technologies to determine the optimal way to deliver this 're-education' and ‘re-structuring’ of the SDI industry at the lowest possible to cost to the greatest number of people while preserving the integrity of 'universal truth’ and optimizing the opportunities to create peace, prosperity and abundance for ourselves as individuals and for our collective networks.

Live hotel meetings, private in-home gatherings, video-taped and audio-taped lectures and/or interviews, books, brochures, person-to-person telephone contact as well as telephone conferencing and fax communication are still used and honoured as effective methods of distance and/or in-person learning. The new internet technology adds a new dimension to our networking capability.

Viewers/listeners, watch/listen to the tapes, CD’s and DVD’s in kitchens and living rooms everywhere on planet earth. Telephone conferencing incurs a long distance charge for each participant. Live meetings are local or regional usually carry a fee for the participating SDI entrepreneurs and while they are beneficial for novice business people, many wanna-be SDI entrepreneurs with former business experience express that they prefer to grow their SDI enterprise(s) from their home or office. Virtual e-learning from one's office or home as facilitated by the various forms of online software is universal, without borders and therefore about to take a giant leap forward.

The SDI Eye Opener is poised to penetrate the ‘re-education’ and ‘re-structuring’ elements of the SDI industry, both locally and globally with these new and innovative tools of this modern era of high technology. There are now many tools which have been created to enhance the teaching ‘n’ learning experience.

For many years, The SDI Eye Opener in co-operation with The Cyberclass Network has been collecting and posting resources, information and links at its ever-expanding number of cyberclassrooms. The SDI Cyberclassroom is one of the more popular cyberclassrooms. It’s time to network both The SDI Eye Opener and The Cyberclass Network to a global readership, so that people can empower themselves and reach out to teach others.

Since September 11th, 2001, distance e-learning has been quickly evolving within institutions of formal learning as well as within the growing number of internet communities. It is timely indeed, to harness and utilize the power of the internet to deliver ‘universal truth’ to the masses outside the walls of elementary schools, high schools, colleges and universities – all of which are limited by curriculum imposed by the shadow governments of the respective countries. Formal educational institutions have still not recognized that the SDI industry is the leading marketing method of the 21st Century.

Currently, most distance e-learning is triggered by email. The SDI Eye Opener is proud to be leading the SDI industry by promoting virtual e-learning pilot projects as they become available. It is the support of ‘Warriors of One’ from the SDI industry that is empowering the SDI entrepreneurs to take distance e-learning to a higher level as our viewers/listeners network and share ‘universal truth’ and honourable SDI opportunities using these new and innovative technologies.

With the eventual introduction of the 'voice-over-internet technologies, the moderator-teacher can direct his/her viewing/listening audience to selected websites on related topics. Learners complete quizzes and/or assignments and email them to the teacher. Questions can be asked online by typing text or by speaking orally and/or by email to others who are communicating interactively.

Currently, there are SDI entrepreneurs preparing to use these new technologies for oral and text-based learning. As the technologies are perfected and cameras are added, our viewers/listeners will catch on to the wonderful capabilities of the internet as they learn to use this new interactive communication medium to its full potential.

As more and more tech-savvy, SDI advocates comprehend how these forthcoming technologies work it will exponentially and expand accessibility to greater numbers. Distance re-education will rapidly evolve to another level with immediate access to a global market.

I predict that very soon every leader in the SDI industry will choose to ‘re-structure’ their respective SDI Portfolios to include any of these new technologies as a necessary part of any infrastructure.

The SDI Eye Opener is pleased and proud to be opening the pipeline to enable multiple millions of SDI entrepreneurs to network ‘universal truth’ and optimal SDI opportunities to those who are ready and willing to make a difference in their world – both locally and globally.

As soon as we, as SDI entrepreneurs are comfortable with any of these new technologies and we are convinced that it will expedite our goals to ‘re-educate’ millions fast. Likewise, these new technologies will motivate creative SDI entrepreneurs everywhere to ‘re-think’ their strategy and consequently ‘re-structure’ their SDI enterprises to enable them to optimally address the local and global market.

The SDI Eye Opener and many other virtual teaching/learning SDI networks are online and as we progress into this 21st Century, they are expected to gain more popularity than conventional colleges and universities in the field of formal education. These new virtual e-learning networks are not interested in acquiring and maintaining status as degree mills, instead individually and collectively they will create a new ‘re-education’ market.

Networking ‘universal truth’ is an area that has been growing steadily since September 11th, 2001. As the application of theses new technologies become mainstream more and more SDI networks will make their mark in the distance, virtual, e-learning environment.

Cameras can be added, to capture the essence of person-to-person marketing by connecting people in a live setting. In the meantime, The SDI Eye Opener offers personal supplemental teaching on request whereby remote, online teaching/learning is the preferred and the most cost-effective way of sharing knowledge and information without using expensive video conferencing equipment.

In summary, The SDI Eye Opener is pleased and proud to introduce distance ‘re-education’ courses by using the email technology. This virtual, online e-learning does not replace conventional ‘bricks and mortar’ learning, rather it supplements it. Those who learn best with independent study habits will advance very quickly to become teachers of ‘universal truth.’ In fact, I taught in conventional education for 34 years as an elementary school teacher and I can confirm that formal education tends to ignore independent study.

This new distance, e-learning provides ‘re-education’ locally and globally and viewers/listeners will be able to choose the best teachers who are offering the optimal SDI opportunities - with accompanying support, while at the same time promoting ‘universal truth.’ It’s definitely time to ‘re-think’ and ‘re-structure’ your SDI enterprise(s) so that you can eventually introduce other new technologies to your SDI network(s).

Let's Excel with The Power of 13  in the SDI Industry

2011-08-09T19:34:00.000-07:00

  I am (You Are) 13

1                         2                             3 

4    5     6              7    8     9              10     11    12

AND - Let's Excel with the Power of 13  in The UsuryFree Network

Just as I AM - (You are or You can be) the 13th SDI (Self Directed Income) entrepreneur networking with 12 other SDI entrepreneurs who are networking with you to complete your reverse communal pyramid which I will refer to as the PC13 - Pyramid/Cell of 13.

When you recruit 3 leaders and teach them how to multiply and duplicate your efforts with 3 leaders who do likewise you will have a solid SDI structure. When these 13 leaders complete their respective Pyramid/Cells of 13 you will have built a network of 169 SDI entrepreneurs by networking your collective efforts.

When your Pyramid/Cell Structure starts earning you paycheques from your 7th level you will set out to duplicate the process with three more leaders sponsored on your first level.

Let's expand it further ... See what happens when 169 natural persons build their "Pyramid/Cell of 13" etc ...

169 x 13 = 2,197

2197 x 13 = 28,561

28561 x 13 = 371,293

371293 x 13 = 4, 826, 809

We have great power and potential to excel by promoting "health and wellness” and likewise by building a loyal "usuryfree" SDI community. Our respective SDI teams will learn about alternative "usury-free" economics and thereby learn to exchange our talents, goods and services using our "usuryfree" community currency as a complement with our diminishing amounts of our "usury-bearing" federal cash.

At the same time we will learn from each other and teach each other "what we don't know we don't know" about (a) health and wellness (b) alternative energy (c) self-imposed re-education (d) libertarian politics (e) spirituality (f) usuryfree living and much, much more ...

With this newly acquired knowledge we will be more aware and better prepared to make optimal choices for the mutual benefit of everyone on planet earth.

Why 13?

 I attended a Mayan workshop with a young man from Ottawa, Ontario whose first name was Carlos in May of 2000 and he told me that in the Mayan culture one began a new life after acquiring elder status on their 52nd birthday. I began that new life in September 2000. My 52nd birthday was on September 1, 2000. By the end of 2013, it is the goal of The UsuryFree Resolution to have swollen its ranks to 13% of the natural persons living in Canada and the USA. When we reach the 13% mark the rest of the world will follow.  

There's more! The cost of federal usury-bearing dollars to start your selected SDI enterprise is commonly a small investment. As an active SDI entrepreneur you will learn how to qualify for all initial bonuses and longer term commissions by purchasing your monthly quotas of products and/or services at a reasonable, competitive costs.

I am inviting everyone who chooses to participate with The UsuryFree Network to gift 13 units of (usuryfree community currency) to the SDI entrepreneur who enrolled them into their respective SDI Network. Likewise, I am encouraging everyone to spend 13 hours each month studying the information at The Cyberclass Network and The UsuryFree Eye Opener. As well I am inviting everyone to participate in vertical gifting with "usuryfree" community currency in amounts of 13 and/or multiples of 13. (Details below).

I have come to understand the unique power of the number 13. It is the number of creation. Rather than avoiding the number 13 as we have been taught, it is time to embrace 13 as the number of creation and for the unique power and potential that it releases. Use 13 in every way that you can and you will speed up the process of aiding The UsuryFree Network to usher in a new age of "peace and plenty" before 2020.

For example, the Mayan calendar, which was carefully connected with the earth, the moon , the stars and the solar system initially had 13 months, with 28 days in each month. Then Pope Gregory engineered the Gregorian calendar which we still have today. The Gregorian calendar has only 12 months BUT if you add the extra days beyond 28 in each of the months you will find the 28 missing days. Is it possible that Pope Gregory conceived of the Gregorian calendar to disempower the people from the unique power of 13 - which was closely connected with nature and spirituality?

Others teach that the number 13 definitely is the number of creation. They explain that at the moment of creation 12 sperm vibrate at the edge of the egg and the 13th sperm enters the egg to create new life - every time.

That's why I have decided to use the number 13 whenever and wherever possible. The UsuryFree Network is building SDI networks by building Pyramid/Cells of 13. The UsuryFree Network is also requesting each new team member to commit 13% of each monthly pay cheque to fund its ongoing mission to facilitate the ushering in a new age of "peace and plenty" by 2020 wherein we will buy and sell locally, nationally and globally with a "usuryfree" currency.

The UsuryFree Network is requesting all who are active with an SDI opportunity to also participate with a usuryfree community currency network and gift 13 units of usuryfree community currency to your enroller. This is known as vertical gifting.

And finally, The UsuryFree Network is asking all who participate with an SDI opportunity to host a celebration for the Pyramid/Cell of 13 on the first convenient date that is 13 or a multiple of 13 or a reversal of 13. For example, these celebrations could be held on the 13th, 26th or 31st of any month. At these celebrations the SDI entrepreneur at the top of the Pyramid/Cell is invited to again engage in vertical gifting by gifting 13 units of usuryfree community currency to each of his/her three leaders who will in turn be invited to multiple and duplicate the process.

Why People Don't Care About Freedom

2011-05-26T09:17:00.000-07:00

By Ted Twietmeyer
5-26-11

There is a 1971 song by Janis Joplin/Michael McClure titled, "Mercedes Benz" that started like this:

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

She then goes on about color TVs. Even in 1971 not everyone owned a color television; many people still owned black and white sets. Today this all people seem to care about the latest computer, the latest cell phone, latest television, etc... It seems material issues are all that matters. Or is there something else going on?

There are people among us who intentionally deny freedom is mutating into tyranny and society crumbling down all around their ears. For others, it's as though they can see the coming tsunami police state that will wipe freedom off the face of the Earth they eagerly jump into a rowboat and vigorously row out to sea to greet it.

In pre-Nazi Germany, citizens eagerly paddled out to greet the virtual tsunami. First the German people were ordered to register all their guns. Like dutiful citizens they did what they were told. Then the guns were confiscated, followed by the people.

Pastor Martin Niemöller (18921984) wrote about about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group. His text is presented roughly here:

"First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me."

Why did this happen?

What is it that motivates people to be intentionally ignorant of the facts, not see what's already here and what's on the horizon? Is it brainwashing? Fear? An inability to mentally see the wave coming at them? Or are we as human beings genetically programmed to obey, obey, obey? Consider how easily a dog can be trained. Are human beings all that much different than a dog or cat? History and evidence unfortunately says no.

Men and women go into military boot camps, carrying with them paradigms they have known their entire life. Six weeks of training by drill instructors and they become a very different person, not only able to kill but also know many ways to kill. Ever see a boot-camp graduation photo of a man or woman? All have a cold, lifeless stare bearing no resemblance to the man or woman who started basic training only a few weeks earlier.

When you try to change someone's paradigm, the very moment you begin to do so a defensive all immediately pops up. Boot camp instructors are experts at ripping down those walls fast. Re-training someone is something like the fight or flight reflex. Unless the person you're talking to already has undergone some enlightenment already, that invisible wall will pop up happen every time. It will be your job not to tear down the wall, but disable the mechanism that drives it. More on that later.

Is there a difference between any boot camp and simply teaching someone? In a boot camp, there is no free will and no choice but to obey and stick with it. When you start to teach someone a new paradigm of truth they can easily laugh at you and walk away. You need to get their undivided attention with cold, hard facts to minimize the giggle factor.

Awhile back I thought that when senior citizens refuse to see the truth it was based on the fear that their social security, disability, veterans disability or retirement checks will stop coming. But there is a refusal to see the truth with younger adults, even those working full time jobs who don't fear losing a check coming in the mail or other fear factor. In some cases it's people who just don't want to know. They want to continue to believe all is well in Camelot. For others, it may be part of the inherent reflex and response to something new prying its way into their paradigm. We are creatures of habit just like our pets. Snickering and smirks are clear signs the wall has popped up. If you're persistent, that wall will eventually stop popping up for good. When you finally disable the wall mechanism it has a lasting and permanent effect.

Astronauts undergo violent training to survive the rigors of space and are trained to know systems inside and out, learn hundreds of acronyms and know how to make a quick escape in the event something goes wrong. What NASA does to train these men and women is just another type of boot camp which is absolutely necessary.

Military boot camps are brainwashing and body-building centers while classrooms teach passively. Pass all the tests and you get to stay in and eventually graduate. Just a few hundred years ago it was relatively easy to create a soldier. Life was violent and ruthless, even more so the further back into history you look. But over time the idea of shooting, stabbing or bayoneting someone up close and personal became abhorrent idea to the average person. Probably a good thing it did - or society would never have developed, and you would never have been able to have a computer to read this.

But the fact is that war is war. It's kill or get killed. Unfortunately, boot camps serve a needful purpose. If America did not have the army, navy, marines or air force you can be certain every one of us would be speaking some other foreign language by now. America would never have been formed.

So what does all this have to do with trying to teach someone? Consider that your job to enlighten someone else is an uphill battle. It doesn't matter whether you talk to someone about impossible expectations of jet fuel in tall buildings, a blatant forged birth certificate, buildings that drop too fast, groping at airports or freedoms being stolen left and right. Or even vehicles parked blocks away that ignited by themselves. This is a battle to help someone see the truth that YOU CAN WIN if you conduct it right. Time is running out, and the internet may not be available much longer.

To get people to understand this and much more is to understand that you must open an invisible classroom of your own to teach people truth. Disinformation has many faces seen and unseen such as family training, school training, military training, the media, movies and more.

Remember the three stages of conversion to the truth? Paraphrased, the first responses to the truth will be laughter and ridicule for presenting facts that attempt to cross that pop-up wall. Acceptance will only come if you're persistent, but not to the point of being annoying. After that, your successful recruit becomes yet another teacher of freedom to other people.

Just how far can this go, and how fast? Consider the mathematical principle known as binary progression. If you convert just one person, and that person converts two people, and those two people convert 4 more, etc... look what happens:

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1,024 2,048 4,096 8,192 16,384 32,768 65,535 131,070 etc...

Now consider this. If each person teaching converts more than two people, the progression will accelerate faster. Just 18 levels deep and that one person you converted becomes more than 131,000 - and it won't stop there. Your freight train is running and there is no stopping it.

Your classroom is requires a well thought out plan to teach people to think. There are countless well-meaning people out there leaving comments on websites and on blogs everywhere and sending emails to people with remarks like "Wake up people!" Comments like that are utterly useless and accomplish absolutely nothing.

A wise and well-seasoned marketing manager co-owned a small corporation I worked at many years ago. He told me about a selling principle he often used I'll never forget. It's about planting seeds in customer's minds. You might not make a sale today or tomorrow, but down the road when the need arises for the product you have they will remember you.

All seeds need to be watered from time to time, including the seeds of a paradigm shift.

There is only one way to enlighten receptive people first get them to look at the evidence themselves. Just present the best, undeniable facts and wait for their comment or question. Let THEM start thinking and talking first with you saying as little as possible. Do not rush it or you'll drive them away. Whether one does religious missionary work or this the basic premise remains the same: Some people are teachable, others are not, some will never be.

At some point you have to decide if progress is being made and you'll feel it in your gut. If you don't find any change taking place with them over a period of time, then just let it go. Our time remaining for expressing and teaching others freedom is running out, and you need to quickly move on to someone else. Remember you've planted the seed and just maybe one day it will take root and grow.

It was said centuries ago that "Every war is won before it's ever fought." Leaders must know who they are up against and prepare for how they will fight a war. In the case of teaching people in your invisible boot camp a similar principle also applies. Although that person you're teaching isn't your enemy, you still need to properly prepare and be fully knowledgeable about your subject matter.

People you teach must believe in you and see calm conviction in your eyes. Never use texting or email for this; it simply won't work. Period. Paradigm-shifting requires a person-to-person effort. You must teach people in person. Don't email people a URL link or create yet another website and think that's all you need to do. Don't scream and yell like some radio personalities it will destroy your credibility before you even get started and make the pop-up wall permanent. Go about teaching others calmly and intelligently. Let the facts speak for themselves so people can decide for themselves.

Only teach people to think and never teach violence. Patience, planning and time are the keys.

Invitation: I invite all SDI (Self Directed Income) entrepreneurs to take a leadership role and make a commitment to win the current information war by implementing the "mathematical principle known as binary progression" - as suggested by Ted Twietmeyer in this article. It is my humble observation that SDI entrepreneurs are more likely than conventional employees to "care about freedom."

If each SDI entrepreneur teaches just one individual, and that individual teaches two individuals, and those two individuals teach 4 more, etc... the growth of self-imposed re-education will become exponential:

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1,024 2,048 4,096 8,192 16,384 32,768 65,535 131,070 etc...

Let's do it NOW!!

NEW Research Explains 61% of Multiple Sclerosis Cases

2011-05-17T07:30:00.000-07:00

"New research shows that low levels of sunlight, coupled with glandular fever, could increase your risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). This could be one reason that MS tends to be more common away from the equator.

The study suggested that low levels of sunlight could affect how your body responds to infection. Vitamin D deficiency could be another possible link.

BBC News reports: 

"The researchers found that by just analyzing sunlight, they could explain 61 percent of the variation in the number of MS cases across England. However when they combined the effect of sunlight and glandular fever, 72 percent of the variation in MS cases could be explained." 

Remember, when the American Cancer Society, or dermatologists, tell you that you should be avoiding the sun at all costs, they are dead wrong.

Dr. Mercola’s Comments:

I have been a renegade physician for over two decades now and when you are as far ahead of the conventional mode of thinking as I try to be, it takes five to 20 years for the "scientific" studies to confirm what I have been advising people to do all along.

I have seen this dozens of times now, and it is great when it occurs. Some of the more significant shifts that have occurred since I have been a renegade have been the widespread acceptance of vitamin D and omega-3 fats and the gradual recognition that the low fat diet approach is a disaster for most people as they typically replace fat with unhealthy carbs.

However there are some major battles that need to be won, like vaccine freedom, GMO elimination, and fluoride and mercury removal still have a ways to go before we see a major shift.

So let's examine the recent research which validates another long held position I have had.

What is MS?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, degenerative disease of the nerves in your brain and spinal column, caused through a demyelization process. Myelin is the insulating, waxy substance around the nerves in your central nervous system, and when the myelin is damaged by an autoimmune disease or self-destructive process in your body, the function of those nerves deteriorate over time, resulting in a number of symptoms, including:
▪ Muscle weakness
▪ Imbalance, or loss of coordination
▪ Astigmatism and vision loss
▪ Tremors
MS may progress steadily, or acute attacks may be followed by a temporary remission of symptoms.

Vitamin D Deficiency

Vitamin D Deficiency and Viral Exposure Explain Vast Majority of MS Cases
A large number of studies have confirmed that your risk of MS increases the farther away you live from the equator. In fact, a lack of sunlight was identified as a risk factor for MS as early as 1922. Within the United States, your risk of developing MS roughly doubles if you spend your childhood—up to the age of 15—in northern states than if you live in the south.

Another previously established risk factor is the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), which causes glandular fever. Eleven years ago, German researchers demonstrated the association between EBV and MS, showing that in contrast to control populations, 100 percent of MS patients had antibodies against EBV. The authors suggested that EBV might play an indirect role in MS as an activator of the underlying disease process.

In the most recent study, published in the journal Neurology last month, researchers assessed the relationship between ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) exposure in British MS patients.

Using English national Hospital Episode Statistics, they obtained the prevalence of MS and infectious mononucleosis (caused by the Epstein-Barr virus) during the seven-year period from 1998 to 2005. The UVB intensity data was collected from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

After evaluating the relationships between these three variables: MS prevalence, Epstein-Barr virus prevalence, and UVB intensity, they found that UVB exposure alone could explain 61 percent of the variations of MS cases across England. When they combined UVB exposure and incidence of glandular fever, 72 percent of the variations could be explained.

The authors concluded that:

"UVB exposure and infectious mononucleosis (IM) together can explain a substantial proportion of the variance of MS. The effect of UVB on generating vitamin D seems the most likely candidate for explaining its relationship with MS. There is a pressing need to investigate the role of vitamin D and EBV and how they might interact to influence MS risk to identify potential prevention strategies."

Vitamin D—An Essential Health Factor that Can No Longer Be Ignored

Previous studies have shown that vitamin D can positively affect MS by altering chemicals called cytokines, which modulate your immune system and can either fight or increase inflammation. Therefore, one of the best things you can do for your health in general is also one of the best preventive strategies against autoimmune diseases like MS -- getting enough regular sun exposure so your body can produce optimal amounts of vitamin D.

Studies have also found that increased dietary intake of vitamin D helps protect against the development of MS, so if you don't have access to regular sun exposure, or a safe tanning bed, you may want to seriously consider oral supplementation with vitamin D3.

One such study, published in 2004, found that women who took vitamin D-containing multivitamin supplements were 40 percent less likely to develop MS than women who did not supplement. Keep in mind that this study was based on FAR lower vitamin D dosages than what we now know are needed, so if you optimize your levels, you're likely to reduce your risk by far more than 40 percent…

There's simply no question that one of the most important physical steps you can take to control your health is to make sure your vitamin D levels are optimized to between 50-70 ng/ml.

Beware of Conventional MS Treatments

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a very serious illness, and I used to dread when people came to my office with MS because there really wasn't much I could do for them at the time. Things have changed since then, however. In researching a vast array of natural health therapies, I came to realize there are a number of different strategies available—the most important of which is optimizing your vitamin D levels.

Personally, I believe it's medical malpractice to treat someone with an autoimmune disease and not address and monitor their vitamin D levels.

If you go the conventional route, please beware that the routine treatment of MS includes a variety of very toxic and dangerous medications that in no way address the underlying cause of the disease. I strongly recommend avoiding these drugs, and if you're already on them, to wean yourself off, as they are some of the most toxic drugs used in the field of medicine.

These drugs include:
▪ Prednisone, a steroid hormone that can significantly impair your immune system, and cause diseases like osteoporosis and cataracts
▪ Interferon. This drug is quite deceptive, because even though it's a natural substance, it's typically given in a dose that shuts down your body's natural feedback loop. As a result, it tends to do more harm than good
The chance of going into remission with conventional treatments is close to zero. Your chances actually increase considerably when employing natural therapies, such as the ones discussed below.

How to Treat Multiple Sclerosis Without Dangerous Drugs

Many of the recommended strategies for MS are identical to the general-health principles I've been teaching for years, but a few stand out as being specifically applicable to the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as MS.

▪ Optimize your vitamin D levels – This is an essential step, and while the optimal level for general health lies between 50-70 ng/ml, when treating diseases such as cancer, heart disease, or autoimmune diseases, your level should ideally be somewhere between 70-100 ng/ml. The preferred method to raise (and maintain) your vitamin D levels is by regularly exposing large amounts of your skin to sunshine, or by using a safe tanning bed. If neither is available, you can use an oral supplement of vitamin D3. Keep in mind that the daily recommended allowance (RDA) is woefully inadequate! Depending on your situation, you may need anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 IU's a day… As a general guideline, vitamin D experts recommend taking 35 IU's per pound per day. However, you must get your vitamin D level tested prior to starting, and regularly thereafter, to evaluate the success of the dose you're taking. This is the only way to determine the ideal dosage, as it's highly individual and dependent on a variety of factors. 

▪ Optimize your essential fat intake – Secondly, you need to make sure you're getting a good supply of animal-based omega-3 fats, such as krill oil. You also need to avoid damaged, processed fats found in most all processed foods. Especially damaging are the omega-6 fats found in soy-, canola-, and corn oil. These are usually highly oxidized and also contain trans fats and cyclic fats that imbed themselves into your cell membranes, distorting the cellular functions.

▪ Eliminate sugar, particularly fructose – Another crucial element is to eliminate as much sugar and fructose as possible from your diet. Cutting out processed foods and sweetened beverages will go a long way to reduce excess fructose, in addition to eliminating the majority of damaging fats in your diet. You simply must keep your daily total fructose intake below 25 grams. If you haven't yet grasped the toxic nature and profound health dangers of fructose, now's the time to get with it. Sugar can contribute to the development of a number of autoimmune diseases, such as arthritis, asthma, and multiple sclerosis. It also increases uric acid levels, which leads to chronic, low-level inflammation, which has far-reaching consequences for your health. 

▪ Eliminate pasteurized milk and dairy—This is another critical element. Studies have shown that cow's milk consumption is correlated with MS prevalence (Neuroepidemiology 1992;11:304-12, and Neuroepidemiology 1993;12:15-27).

▪ Avoid aspartame or commercial fruit juices. Aspartame rapidly metabolizes to methanol a potent neurotoxin. Additionally fruits and vegetables are also loaded with methanol but when they are consumed fresh it is bound to pectin and your body does not have the enzymes to break it down. However when fruits and vegetables are processed and put into glass jars or cans the methanol dissociates and can be liberated in high quantities.

▪ Eat plenty of raw food – This is an important principle for optimal health that I normally recommend for everyone. However, I've found that for people with severe autoimmune disease, it's even more important. Some of the most dramatic improvements we've seen in patients using nutritional changes have come about as the result of eating their food raw instead of cooked. That includes free-range organic eggs and high-quality, organic meats as well.

▪ Tailor your diet to your nutritional type-- Without out a doubt, Nutritional Typing™ has been the most profound nutritional intervention I have ever seen, and physicians are now starting to use nutritional typing in the treatment of many serious diseases, particularly cancer. Dr. Burzynski and Dr. Gonzalez are just two pioneering doctors making use of this powerful strategy in their cancer protocols. This is helpful for nearly all diseases but particularly for MS. I never really started seeing dramatic improvements in the MS patients our clinic was caring for until we aggressively implement NT. I've now made it as easy and as affordable as humanly possible for everyone to take advantage of this exceptional tool, by offering the full online nutritional typing test for FREE.

▪ Check your iron levels-- Excess iron can cause damage to the endothelium, the inner lining of blood vessels as well as create massive amounts of free radicals. It can also damage your DNA. Therefore, if you have MS it is very important to check your blood for iron overload, a process that is easily done through a simple blood test called a serum ferritin test. The healthy range of serum ferritin lies between 20 and 80 ng/ml. Below 20, you are iron deficient, and above 80, you have an iron surplus. Ferritin levels can go really high. I've seen levels over 1,000, but anything over 80 is likely going to be a problem. The ideal range is between 40-60 ng/ml. If you find that your iron levels are high, simply donate your blood. Normally a person would require 1-3 blood draws per year, up to as many as one per month if your system can tolerate it, until your ferritin levels have been sufficiently lowered. 

▪ Low-dose Naltrexone and alpha lipoic acid – One of the newer treatment strategies for MS is low dose Naltrexone (LDN), along with alpha lipoic acid. Naltrexone (generic name) is a pharmacologically active opioid antagonist, conventionally used to treat drug- and alcohol addiction – normally at doses of 50mg to 300mg. As such, it's been an FDA approved drug for over two decades. However, at very low dosages (3 to 4.5 mg), naltrexone has immunomodulating properties that may be able to successfully treat cancer malignancies and a wide range of autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis. As explained on the informative website www.lowdosenaltrexone.org, when you take LDN at bedtime -- which blocks your opioid receptors for a few hours in the middle of the night -- it is believed to up-regulate vital elements of your immune system by increasing your body's production of metenkephalin and endorphins (your natural opioids), hence improving immune function.  Dr. Bert Berkson is an expert on this regimen. For more information about his findings and successes using this combination, please review this previous article. 

▪ Mercury detox – Mercury is clearly a neurotoxic poison that should be avoided, so avoiding eating fish and refusing or removing mercury dental amalgams are also important aspects. Certain supplements can also help eliminate mercury from your system, such as chlorella, and OSR (Oxidative Stress Reliever) developed by Dr. Boyd Haley.

▪ Address early childhood emotional traumas—Last but certainly not least, in my experience with MS patients, there is nearly always a precipitating traumatic emotional event that causes your immune system to crash, leading to the disease. Just as vitamin D deficiency seems to be present in most cases of autoimmune disease, there is also typically an emotional element involved. More often than not, some form of hidden emotional wound can be found in patients suffering with autoimmune diseases like MS. Typically, this wounding occurred at a very young age, almost always before the age of seven; typically before the age of five. Issues related to this event need to be addressed by using an effective energy psychology tool like the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), but only with the help of an experienced practitioner."

Responding to Radiations: The Way Nature Intended

2011-04-15T07:02:00.000-07:00

The following article was created by a terrific upcoming leader, and articulate writer, Oona Mourier PhD ...

"I have been putting together the pieces that make sense to me to deal with radiation. Hope that would be useful for all of you. Pass it along

Many people have been asking about radiations after the nuclear accident in Japan. I have been puzzled by how little we do know about how to protect ourselves.

We know that the best technology in the world is Mother Nature herself. The answers to how to respond to radiations is in Nature. Once again we need to remember that we are One with nature and our key to survival is in nature herself.

As third time survivor of cancer, I have been wondering what can we do in a world where chemotherapy, radiation, EMF and toxic substance have become common occurrence. I do believe that the path to healing is to go back to nature.
 So here are a few of the pieces that I have been able to piece together that so far have allowed me to be in an amazing health.

We are exposed to radiation daily from natural sources such as cosmic rays, radioactive minerals, and even sunlight. Other sources include nuclear waste, industrial waste, and building materials. Medical X-rays, mammograms, CT scans EMF etc…

Everyone in the world is exposed to continuous low level of radiation. Low dose of radiation spread over long periods of time. The effects of low dose of radiation don’t cause an immediate problem to the body, but the effect occurs at the level of the cells and the results might not be observed for many years. The principal effect of low dose of radiation is the concern of being the induction of cancer and a potent mutagen.

The interaction of radiation with oxygen caused increased production of free radicals. In order to cope with these adverse conditions, aerobic organisms that survived have antioxidant defense systems to quench excessive levels of free radicals and repair systems with Redox Signaling Molecules that can correct mutagenic changes and be mobilized.

In order to understand what to do with radiations, we must understand what happen to the cells and how cells heal and what is science teaching us about healing.

This paper will cover 3 components in the healing process.
- Redox Signaling
- Gluthatione
- Water

Redox Signaling

The human body is constantly working to maintain cellular health. It does this by balancing reactive molecules to rid the body of harmful components and to clean up the oxidative stress and free radical damage that occur at the cellular level. When these reactive molecules are in the proper balance, the immune system and healing process function at their optimal level.

These simple Redox Signaling molecules are classified into two groups, Reactive Oxygen and Reduced Species. The Reactive Oxygen Species arms the immune system and Reduced Species activates the antioxidants. A careful (homeostatic) balance between these two species is maintained in all cells and tissues. When a problem or damage occurs, this balance is disturbed, this sends a signal to cause the cells and tissues to defend and repair themselves, thus restoring healthy balance.

Redox signaling powers up the cell’s antioxidant shields. 

Certain redox signaling molecules are used to recharge and activate the native antioxidants that protect healthy cells from oxidative stress and free radical damage. Your cells are already full of these native antioxidants, they are placed as barriers that protect the more sensitive parts of the cells, such as the DNA in the nucleus. Every microsecond, trillions and trillions of these antioxidants in every cell are doing their job to protect the every cell from oxidants. Oxidants are also natively produced as part of the normal metabolism of sugars that provides our cells with energy. As long as the mixture of redox signaling molecules is balanced, the antioxidants in the cells and tissues are easily able to defend themselves against such oxidants.

When cells and tissues are damaged, by toxins and radiation they send out redox signaling messages for help. This starts a cascade of messengers that are quickly spread throughout the affected area where they call for action to start the healing process (blood supply is redirected, native antioxidants empowered and increased, DNA repair elicited, immune response initiated, inflammation, cell communication enhanced, regeneration efforts started, etc.). The healing process is a well orchestrated effort to either repair the damaged cells or cause the un-repairable cells to die and be replaced by healthy ones and thus restore healthy cells and tissue.

Increasing the amount of balanced redox signaling carriers in your cells and tissues simply helps to make this whole orchestrated effort much more efficient. Healthy cells are more likely to be able to defend themselves and the immune system is more likely to respond correctly, inter-cellular communication channels are clearer and more efficient. The concept is elegant, these redox signaling carriers do not force the system to act or react differently than it already does. It simply clarifies the signals that help the immune response and healing process proceed as it should, and do so much more efficiently

Redox signaling tunes up cell’s communication channels 

Every cell in the body MUST be able to communicate with its neighboring cells in order to function correctly. Communication channels exist that allow messengers to run back and forth between cells. These messengers actually program the DNA in the cells to act as it should in the environment where they live. Redox signaling carriers help move these messengers from cell to cell as well as sending the signals inside and between cells. 

An increase in the amount of balanced redox signaling molecules makes the cell’s communication channels more efficient. This is especially important when the tissues must respond to a stressor or invader. Quick and accurate response is important. Efficient communication channels make it more likely that the cells and immune systems will respond as they are designed to do.

Optimizes correct immune system function 

In order for the immune system to function as it should, a myriad of communication signals need to be carried between cells, signals that detect damage, signals that control blood flow and control inflammation, signals that activate the immune system response and help determine when, where and what the immune cells attack (and what they do not attack). The immune response is a coordinated effort that depends heavily on redox signaling and other types of signaling.

Increasing the amount of balanced redox signaling molecules helps make the signaling processes between cells more efficient. With clearer signals, the immune system can operate with increased efficiency. This means that the immune system will be more likely to detect and attack threats that it should engage and less likely to attack healthy cells that it should not engage. This action tends to normalize the immune system function, if overactive it will help decrease its activity, if underactive it will help increase activity. In short, the immune system will tend to operate at optimal efficiency.

Currently ASEA is the only source of redox signaling. Human blood resembles the chemistry of the ocean. The human body is like the earth it carries an ocean within it. The redox molecules in ASEA are stabilized in saline water, the same water that exists in our body, the same redox molecules that are in our body.

Gluthatione

Studies show that Glutathione protects the cell from damaging radicals which cause cancer and DNA damage. 
Glutathione status is a highly sensitive indicator of cell functionality and viability. Glutathione is a critical factor in protecting organisms against toxicity and disease.

Dr. Jimmy Gutman, world's most published author on the subject of glutathione said:

"Human health can be adversely affected by exposure to radiation. This can come in the form of simple sunlight, to x-Ray exposure and more ominously, fallout from a failed nuclear reactor as seen currently in Japan.”

“Tissue damage, whether resulting in a sunburn or in thyroid cancer,is caused by “ionizing” radiation. It describes the release of free radicals from the molecules struck by the radiation. Most readers by now can easily connect the dots linking glutathione levels to protection from damaging rays. Raising glutathione levels protects cells from damage by the most dangerous of free radicals (the hydroxyl-radical) released when ionizing radiation hits us. Besides avoiding exposure to radiation, the next best thing to consider is limiting the damage. Our cells own protective mechanisms rely on glutathione to do this.’

Increasing the amount of balanced redox-signaling molecules in the cells and tissues helps recharge and activate the native antioxidants that are already in the cells, making them much more efficient. This enhances the natural protection mechanisms of the cell, naturally, powering up the natural antioxidant shields that are already placed there for just that purpose, making the healthy cells and tissues more likely to be able to defend themselves.

Antioxidants -- the most well known of which are vitamins C and E -- are important for good health because they neutralize free radicals, which can build up in cells and cause damage. Because glutathione exists within the cells, it is in a prime position to neutralize free radicals. It also has potentially widespread health benefits because it can be found in all types of cells, including the cells of the immune system, whose job is to fight disease.

Most published paper on radiation protection talk about glutathione. Until recently the way to increase Glutathione was very difficult. Glutathione when ingested (in pill form) will only pass through your system. Getting it through IV is one way to increase it.

At this time we have the first product ASEA that increases the activity of Glutathione, SOD over 500% in the body.

Glutathione is a naturally occurring substance that acts as an antioxidant, an immune system booster, and a detoxifier. Something that can help your body repair damage caused by stress, pollution, radiation, infection, drugs, poor diet, aging, injury, trauma, and burns.

What Is Glutathione? 

Gluthatione is the most important endogenous antioxidant in the body. It is manufactured by our own body. It is the only antioxidant that can recycle itself. No other antioxidant can do that.

Main function of Gluthatione is to maintain cellular redox homeostasis, tp help maintain the oxidation level of your cells. For example hemoglobin has to be in a reduce state before it can carry oxygen. If it oxidize it cannot fulfilled its work. 
Because glutathione exists within the cells, it is in a prime position to neutralize free radicals. It also has potentially widespread health benefits because it can be found in all types of cells, including the cells of the immune system, whose job is to fight disease.

What Does Glutathione Do? 

The strong antioxidant effect of glutathione helps keep cells running smoothly. It also helps the liver remove chemicals that are foreign to the body, such as drugs and pollutants. 

The important role that glutathione plays in health has come from studies in people who are severely ill. 

"If you look in a hospital situation at people who have cancer, AIDS, or other very serious disease, almost invariably they are depleted in glutathione,". "The reasons for this are not completely understood, but we do know that glutathione is extremely important for maintaining intracellular health."

Who Does Glutathione Help? 

People are using glutathione for the treatment of a whole host of conditions. Research has demonstrated that taking glutathione actually lowers glutathione in cancer cells while increasing it in normal cells. As a result, the cancer cells are more vulnerable to chemotherapy, and the normal cells are protected.

Glutathione is also known as the toxic waste neutralizer of the body. In the liver it will neutralize toxic pollutants and even carcinogens and eliminate them from the body. Glutathione has been shown to alleviate chemotherapy and radiation exposure.

It has been established that glutathione offers radiation protection and is first line of protection against environmental chemicals and toxins.

Water

Water is a unique entity and an important part of processing and repairing the effect of radiation. Living water provides everything needed to sustain and maintain our living eco-systems, It is one of our first defense against environmental assaults that disturb our cellular homeostasis, or balance. When we are expose to radiation, the body’s defense need to be activated and the DNA need to be repaired.

Structured water is found surrounding healthy DNA, whereas unorganized water is found surrounding the DNA of diseased tissue. With a high degree of structuring, water can remember and can be considered highly energetic water with the ability to activate and support numerous metabolic functions. 

The double helical structure of DNA, for example, is due largely to hydrogen bonding between the base pairs, which link one complementary strand to the other and enable the replication of DNA.

If the water cannot penetrate our cells properly, it ends up in the interstitial tissues meaning the space between cells. In this location, it can not do the work of cleansing our cells which results in the buildup of toxins and an increase of acidity in the body which in turn increases the risk of cancer. 

When the size of the water clusters are small, they are more bio-available meaning that more oxygen, hydrogen, minerals are available, nutrients are easily carried into the cells, the work of cleansing the cells of acid waste and toxins becomes more efficient. The balance of the cells can be maintained creating a better defense against aggressions.

Healthier Cells Healthier Cells - supported by tightly bonded, hexagonal water clusters - created by "structure making" ions.
 Pollutants and toxins are unable to bond with water molecules and create toxin accumulation and cellular problems.

Unhealthy Cells 

Unhealthy Cells - characterized by loosely bonded, pentagonal or unstructured water clusters and "structure-breaking" ions (see table above). 

Pollutants and toxins can easily bond with water molecules and create toxic accumulation and cellular problems.

Antioxidant Alkaline Ionized Water has a huge capacity to store energy which can be released immediately when it is utilized by living organism. 

The size of the water clusters 

Clusters of water are damaged and destabilized by water pipes, by containers, by time, by travel and by storage. 
Waters amazing ability to change structures has only been recently validated and is now looked at as one of the most important characteristics of water. If cells structure and water structure are disorganized, illness can appear. When the cells are organized, diseases have no place to settle and better health can be achieved. Water's structure is a flexible composition of hydrogen bonds, forces, and mineral electrolytes.

With a high degree of structuring water can remember and can be considered highly energetic water with the ability to activate and support numerous metabolic functions.

So as we look for ways to respond to the threat in the environment, we are really called to evolve as human beings to adapt we need to return to the ways of Mother Nature, We also need to protect our children of the effect of EMF on their brain. I believe it is the best chance to evolve as a culture. It seems to me the wisest way to go."

Ken Hancherow Shares Information About Radiation And Remedies

2011-04-15T06:52:00.000-07:00

"I've been working on several radiation remedies in light of the seriousness of the nuclear meltdown. I've tried to limit what is sent out to not scare you but the governments have been downplaying this for too long and it is up to us to protect our families.

I've looked at 2 dozen links so far with regard to solutions so will enclose a couple. None of my conspiracy stuff here but another time we will get into the causes of the Japanese quake.

Simple Overview:

Most holistic doctors agree the most important thing to do is have potassium iodide or some form of iodine to protect the thyroid when thing get really bad-emergency. In the mean time get any kind of kelp,algae or sea weed products.(preferably from the Atlantic).

Spirulina and chlorella are excellent along with plankton.

NAC, Vit. C, selenium, glutathione, green tea concentrate-drink as much as you can but once again future sources might be contaminated.

Miso soup and sushi are a great way to maintain natural iodine,etc. if the sea weed is clean.

We are working on getting a homeopathic mix that has been made for nuclear radiation and I just got some radionic rates for testing and treating.

Detoxing the body is always important and can be done with zeolite, fulvic or humic acid. Clay baths are good . you can use Himalayan salt in the bath and on your food.

The easiest is Calli Tea as it pulls heavy metals out of the body. I have lots of it if you need.

We are also making a very high quality nano-colloidal silver and gold. Our silver and gold rods for the unit are $1450 to get 99.999% purity. We are looking for dark glass bottles and need a label but for now they are going into what ever glass jar we can find.-Nature's antibiotic. I will put some info together on silver ,etc.

Structuring water and food will be important soon and I am researching the best ways to do this. There are some new imploding technologies using magnets that cancel out and create a zero field as well as sacred geometry to put vortex spins in water.

A food plate to neutralize any harmful things in food and drinks within minutes.

One of the best products for long term use is a 32 ounce bottle of reactive molecules called Asea. This is a product I found 18 months ago and I have seen it change many lives in unbelievable ways.

Below is an article written by one of my distributors who got brain cancer for the 3rd time and eliminated it in 5 weeks using the Asea product.

"Responding to Radiations: The Way Nature Intended"
http://sdi-usuryfree.blogspot.com/2011/04/responding-to-radiations-way-nature.html

It is a little long and I have not had time to edit the grammar but it will give you a basic overview of the product and show how Glutathione and SOD (Which are really important for radiation,etc.) are increased 500% when using Asea.

If you want some Asea wholesale or go to Tom Kennedy’s website:  http://usuryfree.teamasea.com

A Backgrounder For All Natural Soil Balancer

2011-04-10T17:53:00.000-07:00

When this product was brought to market in the mid-1990's by Peter Webb, it was called “Perfectly Natural.” Currently it is commonly referred to as “All Natural Soil Balancer” and the label on the 55 pound bags carries the word “Cal-T” also.

All Natural Soil Balancer is the result of Peter Webb meticulously studying the life of plants after reading the book “Secrets Of The Soil” by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. Peter Webb’s work has been characterized by the realization that everything in the biosphere is interconnected and inseparable, both at the physical and energetical levels.

In all biological processes there exists an optimal level of vitality and inherent genetic potential, which in many cases we are not attaining because we have only recently begun to become aware of how these processes interact. As our collective understanding increases, gardeners and farmers will be motivated to apply All Natural Soil Balancer, along with combinations of the techniques elaborated in the book “Secrets Of The Soil.” The ultimate goal is to re-establish the levels of plant vitality essential to human nutrition and the well being of our planet.

Most garden and farm soils are in desperate need of calcium. Likewise, when plants lack nutrients, so will the humans and animals that consume these plants. Obviously, grass-fed livestock rely on grasses (and hay) as their sole food source. If the soil is worn out, birth weights will be below normal, milk yields will lessen and meat quality for humans will be of a lesser quality. Gardeners and farmers do agree that a living, healthy, mineral-rich soil is needed to sustain life.

All Natural Soil Balancer contains calcium which helps the soil ecology thrive by helping to bring the soil’s mineral components and PH into balance. All Natural Soil Balancer was created to complement previous techniques and to act as a catalyst to optimize the synergystic potential of the soil’s mineral components. Trace minerals are added to this product because they are used to build the immune system of the plant so that it can fight off insects and diseases.

In the plant world, most insect infestations and diseases are the result of a mineral missing in the soil. When we fully understand plants, we realize that they cannot run away from predators, but they do have their own defense mechanisms to resist harmful insects and to attract bees for pollination. The flower releases a fragrance, and at this point, the flower has total control over the bees to serve the fertilization process. All Natural Soil Balancer gives the flower brighter colours and a stronger fragrance.

A similar process occurs at the root level. If an insect attacks the leaf, the plant sends a message to the soil. A healthy, mineral-rich soil allows the plant to take trace minerals, enzymes, etc. to produce amino acids which are proteins. These proteins are then sent to the leaves of the plant to make them indigestible to the insect. Consequently, the insect chooses to leave that plant. This explains the function of trace minerals at the root level of the plant.

These vitamins are used by the plant for sugar production: B4, B6, B12, E, and Selenium. Through the process of photosynthesis, the sugar is transported to the roots to feed the soil’s micro-organisms which in turn produce food for the plant as well as decomposing organic material and dead roots. Sugar is also used to repair plant leaves and stems damaged by wind storms, as well as preserving the storage life of fruits and vegetables.

Plants and trees remove large amounts of pollution and toxins from the environment and deposit them at the root level. All Natural Soil Balancer rapidly neutralizes the toxins enabling the plants to clean more air in our homes and in the surrounding environment.

All Natural Soil Balancer releases the surface tension on water, making the water molecules smaller and more easily taken up by the roots of plants. It also increases availability of minerals in the water, thus plants use less water and require less frequent watering.

Soil compaction and hardpan have an excess of magnesium which has a negative polarity. This polarity draws the soil particles together, gradually making a layer of soil that roots and water cannot pass through. All Natural Soil Balancer helps to balance the soil’s minerals polarities, therefore, reducing compaction in soils by allowing water and roots to move more freely through the soil, thus allowing more oxygen to permeate the soil.

Plants growing on any soil with All Natural Soil Balancer applied, adjust the soil’s PH at the root zone, allowing the plants to achieve a better state of health. One plant can be 6.0 PH, the next one 5.0 in the same bed. Since plants take in a good portion of their nutritional requirements from the air, their water, humidity and nitrogen requirements can come from the air.

Trees tested in recent years from Alberta and Nova Scotia, have been observed to produce more foliage. Maple, ash and pine trees have achieved new growth of 20-30 inches between branches. Some of these trees have also retained their leaves more than one month longer than others of the same species in similar environmental conditions.

All-Natural Soil Balancer

2011-04-09T21:59:00.000-07:00

All-Natural Soil Balancer otherwise known as “Cal-T” is an entirely new and patented approach to the stimulation of growth and health in plants and crops. It increases yields, produces more nutritious vegetables, controls weeds, cleans and restores the soil and improves composting, all without or with only minimal use of fertilizer or herbicides.

All-Natural Soil Balancer unlike other fertilizers, operates in the electro-magnetic spectrum. This allows the plants to move elements around so that they can grow more effectively. For example, it breaks the fixed polarity that makes magnesium and aluminum bond together to create a soil so tight that neither root nor water can penetrate. It permits plants to change iron into copper or vice-versa as the need arises. In many soils, iron makes the phosphorus (the main carrier of nutrients around the plant’s vascular system) unavailable to the plant.

All-Natural Soil Balancer is a totally natural blend of calcium carbonate, trace minerals and natural enzymes that has been specially treated to improve the absorption of minerals and nutrients by the plant. This strengthens the plant and its immune system, thereby making it more resistant to disease. It also catalyses the synergistic potential of the plant, causing it to grow faster and better.

All-Natural Soil Balancer, when stored in a dry place, stays active in the bag for three years. Once applied, it stays active in the field for twelve to fourteen months, regardless of weather conditions. It can be applied at virtually any time of the year. It detoxifies the soil and adjusts the PH level to the dominant plant. So if grain is planted, it will adjust the PH to that plant’s optimal level. This step alone precludes certain weeds from growing with the grain.

All-Natural Soil Balancer is spread in such small quantities because it is basically an energy product that operates through the earth’s existing electro-magnetic spectrum. It therefore, does not matter if 15-30 square feet are missed during the application because the whole field equalizes its energies. This makes it very difficult to test strips in a field, because each test strip influences the crops and yields on either side.

All-Natural Soil Balancer requires less use of herbicides and pesticides. Plants healthier and less likely to become infested. Both the plants and the weeds are more susceptible to the effects of herbicide and as a result, too much herbicide will shock the plant and burn its leaves. As a general rule, use 50% less herbicide and pesticide when using All-Natural Soil Balancer.

All-Natural Soil Balancer controls most insects. Microbes use enzymes and trace minerals to produce amino-acids which are then sent instantly to the leaves of the plant to make it indigestible to the insect. The insects may stay on the plant but they won’t eat it. Usually, they leave for more edible food elsewhere.

All-Natural Soil Balancer is also an effective weed-killer. Drastic declines in dandelions, crab grass, purple loose strife and other weeds have been observed in the months following just one application. This occurs because the weeds are no longer needed to bring deeply buried minerals to the surface.

All-Natural Soil Balancer starts the growing season by co-ordinating the germination of seeds by reducing the surface tension of the water so that the seed wall is penetrated faster. As a result, germination in fields planted with All-Natural Soil Balancer is more even and complete.

All-Natural Soil Balancer operates through the electro-magnetic spectrum to cleanse the soil of herbicide residues almost as fast as it is applied. Once the plants start growing, the cleansing process takes hold on the root system and cleans down to much deeper levels. After the herbicides are neutralized, the microbes break them down into a total inert plant food.

All-Natural Soil Balancer releases energy throughout the full growing season. This enables much larger and much more nutritional crops of hay to be garnered in the second and third cuts than when using chemical fertilizer. Crops attain higher sugar levels and need less dry down. The product stores much better. Animals prefer its taste and actually consume less because the hay is more nutritious.

All-Natural Soil Balancer used on grain products produces a heavier bushel weight. Fields commonly yield more bushels per acre with All-Natural Soil Balancer and there is less lodging and slightly taller plants. Comparable benefits occur with corn. There is a greater leaf surface, which means there is also a greater root surface. Typically, there is no corn borer damage by insects and often three cobs per plant.

All-Natural Soil Balancer produces vegetables with longer shelf lives and fewer external blemishes. Typically, potatoes, carrots, onions, peppers, etc. are so nutritionally rich and balanced that they do not decay when stored over winter in a basement at room temperature. They can also be left in the ground over winter without loss. Thus, all waste in vegetable storage over winter is virtually eliminated.

The most effective form of fertilization on any crop with All-Natural Soil Balancer is a liquid application at a very low dispersion rate of a fertilizer that will not leave residual nitrates or phosphates in the soil. Foliar applications are the most effective and energy efficient because they are absorbed directly into the plant, leaves and root system. On sandy soils, always use a liquid nitrogen fertilizer.

Some crops respond better then others to All-Natural Soil Balancer. Soya beans, grains and corn respond exceptionally well. The plants’ protein content increases significantly. This adds value to the crop. The higher protein and energy in the plant gives the crop a heavier bushel weight as well as a much quicker dry down. This occurs because the plant has a higher mineral content, is retaining less water and is resisting molds much better.

Application: 2.5 kg per 30 square metres for lawns and gardens or 15 pounds per acre for larger fields.

Cost: $20.00 for 2.5 kg or 5.5 pounds OR $50.00 for 25 kg or 55 pounds. For more information forward an email to: tom@cyberclass.net with “All-Natural-Soil-Balancer” in the Subject line.

The UsuryFree Network, UsuryFree Creatives and SDI Entrepreneurs

2011-02-19T20:58:00.000-08:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

Over its ten years as a growing force in the world of usuryfree economics, the UsuryFree Network has offered usuryfree creatives - many of whom double as SDI (Self Directed Income) entrepreneurs - news, information and resources about (a) the problems associated with our orthodox, economic system of usury-based, debt money and (b) solution-oriented models of usuryfree finance. Indeed, usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs are unabashed champions of usuryfree living for they know that "Life Without Usury" is possible.

The economic world is changing. Old paradigms are failing and falling. New paradigms are emerging. The role of usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs is evolving at a faster rate given the ease of modern technology and the acceptance of social media. The mission to experience the reality of usuryfree living is moving ahead with thanks to those usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs.

We have launched the blog, The UsuryFree Eye Opener as our electronic arm of the UsuryFree Network. These sentences describe The UsuryFree Eye Opener: “It seeks active usuryfree creatives to help advance our mission of creating a usuryfree lifestyle for everyone on this planet. Our motto is 'peace and plenty before 2020.' The UsuryFree Eye Opener publishes not only articles related to the problems associated with our orthodox, usury-based 1/(s-i) system but also to the solutions as offered by active usuryfree creatives - and much more for your re-education.”

We are networking with Grasshopper Media and other innovative, alternative media sources. We are advocating that individuals create and issue their personal brands of usuryfree community currency for internal trading within their own loyal networks. We are intent on creating a new architecture for usuryfree living in this 21st Century.

At the UsuryFree Network, we are proud of our initiatives, our models for usuryfree living and our growing numbers of committed usuryfree creatives who double as SDI entrepreneurs. Out ten year old message that originated as a ‘status’ comment on my Facebook wall gets repeated and re-posted often: “Your name ... is thinkin’ usury is the direct and/or indirect cause of wars, violence, poverty, scarcity and lack and that we must STOP payin’ usury to bankers.”

Our seven year old tradition of celebrating UsuryFree Day (November 13th) and UsuryFree Week (November 13th to 19th) each year is becoming more popular as more and more people recognize and capitalize on the fact that more consumers are awakening and shifting gears to foster local shopping.

As more SDI entrepreneurs become aware of the usuryfree community currency movement, they will understand the power and potential of offering products and/or services to customers whereby trades/exchanges are negotiated with a combination of any usuryfree community currency and federal cash.

Likewise, as the orthodox, economy of usury-based, debt money is examined and the design flaw of usury is exposed for the evil and immoral element that it is, a universal, usuryfree, time currency becomes more appealing as the ultimate trading unit for this 21st Century and beyond.

The Word-of-Mouth Phenomenon Is Working

2011-02-19T17:15:00.000-08:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

SDI (Self Directed Income) entrepreneurs have identified the word-of-mouth phenomenon as the optimal strategy to share information about their selected products and/or services. The Direct Selling Association http://www.dsa.org reports that approximately 15 million Americans are enrolled as SDI entrepreneurs marketing their favourite products and/or services.

Since Canada has about one tenth of the population of the United States of America, we can assume that there are a minimum of 1.5 million Canadians who are enrolled as SDI entrepreneurs. That is a total of 16.5 million SDI entrepreneurs in North America who are networking and sharing information about their favourite products and/or services with families, friends, neighbours and working colleagues etc. In turn, a high percentage of these SDI entrepreneurs pass along the information to others and this is the essence of the word-of-mouth phenomenon as it applies to the SDI industry.

Andy Sernovitz writes in his book, Word of Mouth Marketing: “When people trust you, they are willing to put their words on the line for you. Please them, inspire them, and they’ll bring their friends to you. Word-of-mouth marketing works for any size business. You don’t need to have a hot website, to be in a sexy industry or to have a cool, new technology. You can make it work for a single store with no advertising budget. You just have to give people something to talk about.”

The word-of-mouth phenomenon works optimally within the SDI industry simply because people like to tell stories about their favourite products and/or services. Since SDI entrepreneurs market these products and/or services, they earn respectable commissions when a consumer purchases any product or service from them. This is a unique and appealing aspect of the SDI industry, for as we know we do not earn such commissions when we apply the word-of-mouth phenomenon to the movie industry, the restaurant industry, the franchise industry or the retail industry involving big box stores as owned and operated by the major transnational corporations.

The growing number of online, social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Ning, Twitter, etc. are advancing the word-of-mouth phenomenon to ever-evolving levels as we progress into this 21st Century. According to Andy Sernovitz, about 20 percent of word-of-mouth marketing currently happens online, and this percentage is likely to keep increasing. The remaining 80 percent of word-of-mouth marketing is comprised of face-to-face conversations.

It is noteworthy that a survey by emarketer http://www.emarketer.com reveals that approximately 53 percent of online traffic is initiated by family members and/or friends who share links to recommended websites.

Indeed, the combination of face-to-face and online communication is causing the word-of-mouth phenomenon to create annual sales of more than $30 billion. Yes, the word-of-mouth phenomenon does impact the bottom line of millions of SDI entrepreneurs who are dedicated to spreading the good news about the selected lines of products and/or services that they are excited about.

Permit me to share the good news about the products and/or services that I have selected for my personal, SDI Portfolio by reading the article “An SDI Backgrounder and Unique and Timely SDI Opportunities” (see the link below) and clicking on the various links about products for more information.

At your request, I will answer any questions and offer you any of my selected products for your consumption. Should you wish to add a particular opportunity to your SDI Portfolio, I promise whatever support that I can offer as well as additional support from my team of SDI entrepreneurs. Please forward any emails to: tom@cyberclass.net with “SDI products/services” in the Subject line.

It’s Time For Fuel Savings

2011-02-19T17:11:00.000-08:00

By Tom J. Kennedy

Gasoline prices have soared reaching well beyond $1.00+ per litre in Canada. The experts predict that double-digit gas prices are here to stay.

Since it will be a while before we shift from our conventional fossil fuel economy to an economy that is powered by completely renewable energy, it is prudent to doctor your fuel by putting the ‘gasoline pill’ or the ‘diesel pill’ in your tank every time you say ‘fill ‘er up.’

These pills are inserted into the tank just prior to filling the tank. These ‘pills’ increase engine power, slash smoke emissions, promote more complete fuel combustion and commonly improve fuel economy by reducing fuel consumption from 10% to 15% on most vehicles. These ‘gasoline pills’ and ‘diesel pills’ are environmentally-friendly and non-toxic.

One ‘pill’ treats up to 20 gallons or 75 litres of fuel. There are two sizes of blister packs. One blister pack contains 5 ‘pills’ and retails for $15.00, and the other blister pack contains 10 ‘pills’ (plus taxes & shipping). There are also ‘pills’ for furnace oil tanks that will reduce the consumption of furnace oil during the winter months.

It is recommended that consumers record their kilometers per litre without the ‘pill’ and then record your kilometers per litre when the ‘pill’ is inserted in the fuel tank.

The ‘gasoline pill’ and the ‘diesel pill’ are being distributed by the UsuryFree Network as a fundraiser for the annual celebration of UsuryFree Day and Week from November 13th to 19th.

Usuryfree creatives who are trading with any usuryfree community currency have the option of purchasing either blister pack with a negotiated combination of usuryfree community currency and federal cash.

There are significant discounts for bulk purchases of blister packs. Inquire for details.

Truckers and travelers are invited to enrol with my team at Optimal Earth and launch your won SDI (Self Directed Income) enterprise. Full details are posted at my affiliate website: http://usuryfree.optimumearth.com

The SDI Industry Brings Quality Products, Personal Service and Local Loyalty Back Into The Heart of Business ...

2011-01-30T19:22:00.000-08:00

The SDI (Self Directed Income) industry continues its ongoing and ever-evolving process of offering exciting and innovative products for consumers and unique marketing opportunities, for potential independent business ownership. The SDI industry twins the retailing and wholesaling elements of traditional sales and marketing in mutually beneficial ways for all who choose to participate - both online and in real life situations. It is the action of building relationships and forging partnerships by active SDI entrepreneurs, that has been fueling the constant growth of the SDI industry since its birthing in the mid-20th Century.

Since the dawn of this 21st Century, countless numbers of employees from the baby-boomer generation are now listed as unemployed as corporations and institutions continue to downsize. More and more of these former employees are becoming motivated to enrol as budding SDI entrepreneurs.

Many of these novice SDI entrepreneurs see the advantage of establishing an SDI Portfolio that guarantees more than one source of monthly earnings. The SDI Portfolio is coming of age since the more astute of these new SDI entrepreneurs fully realize that when they sign any distributor application form, they are really surrendering their rights as independent free enterprisers to the “home office” corporation - which reserves the right to cut your source of supply and/or cancel your distributor agreement at any time.

It is also noteworthy that more and more youth between the ages of 18 and 35 are now fully aware that the outdated curriculum as being offered by our institutions of formal learning (elementary schools, high schools, universities, colleges, etc.) is not adequately preparing them for the ever-changing, fast-paced marketplace.

Consequently, more and more youth from these X and Y generations are open to the idea of launching their own, part-time (or full time) SDI enterprises to supplement their meagre monthly earnings from the menial jobs they have taken after their many years’ of pursuing formal education in search of the ever-elusive, financial security.

As the more conventional marketing strategies of the 19th and 20th centuries fail, we are witnessing a gradual acceptance of the SDI industry as the optimal model to market any product and/or service to astute consumers with an environmentally-friendly spirit of mutual and loyal co-operation in this 21st Century.

Indeed, the SDI industry is becoming more and more relevant given the ease of modern technology and the advent of global and local, social networking via the internet. The key for anyone’s ultimate success as an SDI entrepreneur is to build a highly duplicatable business model, that can be followed and copied by everyone on your team, thereby multiplying and duplicating your efforts.

A review of news items in the mainstream print and electronic media as well as the online, alternative media, suggests that the economies of Canada, the United States of America and other so-defined, western world countries are shifting away from the more orthodox, employer-employee model of the 20th Century to the emerging, entrepreneurial, contract-based model of this 21st Century.

Small business owners no longer have an incentive to hire employees and become saddled with the accompanying paper work demanded by the various levels of government (municipal, provincial/state, and federal). Instead, the SDI industry offers anyone/everyone an opportunity to launch a home-based enterprise while tapping into the power and potential of social media. Of course, as an active SDI entrepreneur, one qualifies for numerous income tax deductions available exclusively to the self-employed.

Additionally, SDI entrepreneurs commonly bring back the human aspect into sales, both at the local and global levels of marketing by offering quality products and focusing on personalized service and loyalty to our local and online networks of like-minded people.

All that is missing to help usher in this new age of entrepreneurism is the physical launch of the UsuryFree SDI University. In the meantime, we have created the online UsuryFree SDI University where SDI entrepreneurs are invited to share information, ideas and resources etc. that can add benefit to anyone’s SDI enterprise(s).

A Vidacell - Online Promotion!!

2011-01-20T20:52:00.000-08:00

Consuming Vidacell has become a daily food experience for myself and my family. In an effort to achieve and maintain optimal health and wellness while avoiding chemical pesticides and genetically modified food, I choose to consume an organically grown, cellular food called Vidacell as a daily nutritional supplement.

Although Vidacell costs me approximately $3.00 per day (including taxes and shipping), I feel the benefits more than outweigh the monthly expenses of approximately $90.00.

I know that astute, consciously aware, Facebook friends are likely to appreciate an opportunity to have a Vidacell experience for one month to determine its effectiveness.

I am happy to report that recently, I had a telephone conversation with co-founder Greg Sturz and Presidential Director Bryan Lindsay and my enroller, Rich Joyal.

With their committed support, I was authorized to initiate a creative, online promotion that could be scored to determine a winner. The winner will be mailed a one month supply of Vidacell for FREE!

I have created a Questionnaire with 13 questions. Facebook friends are invited to email your answers to: tom@cyberclass.net with Vidacell in the Subject line. The 13 answers should correspond to the 13 questions - words or groups of words are acceptable. If more than one entry has all 13 answers correct, then one name will be drawn from the correct entries.

Answers can be researched and found on the internet or otherwise.

This online promotion for Vidacell is NOT open to anyone who is currently enrolled as a Vidacell SDI entrepreneur.

This contest will officially close at 13:00 hours on July 13th, 2011.

NOTE: If this contest is popular, a follow up online promotion may be authorized.
