World War II Never Happened uhuru,
And I'll Prove It...

Hang with me on this one uhuru... Not only will I prove this fact in the text below, but I'll reveal the single most powerful secret in the world to you in the process.

No, I'm not a crazy conspiracy theorist, or on the crack pipe. Read this entire message and it will all make perfect sense. Keep this picture in mind when you do...

Alright... So something pretty “out there” occurred to me over the last year.

You know… “What has this guy been smokin'?”, sort of stuff.

But when you consider that I went from $6,000 in debt and waiting tables, to making over $80,000 a month in that short time span, something extra-ordinary must have popped into my little noggin.

So for what’s it’s worth, here’s the underlying secret behind all of the little things that happened which brought the end result to life.

It’s the secret within all of the self-help books that you’ve probably read, but might have never really “gotten”. In fact, they probably left you more frustrated than when you started.

I can relate. It took me about 6 years to finally comprehend this secret.
Until you get this part of your life and your head where it needs to be, you will NEVER be successful. It is impossible.

You MUST get this right. There is no website, marketing system, lead source, or product that will save you. If you don't get your head where it needs to be, everything else is just a waste of time, money, and efforts.

Success in anything in life, including network marketing, is 90% mental, and 10% mechanical (executing the business).

This is going to sound strange. Very strange. But, here’s what you really need to “get”, and get fast…

Everyone of us lives in a different world and different reality.

In fact, there are six billion+ realities taking place on earth right now, this very moment. Six billion!

And every single one of them is different. With six billion different lists of rules for what is possible and what isn’t. With six Billion different perceptions of one event. With six billion different ideas of what truth, morals, and justice mean.

You live in a completely different reality than everyone else. I live in a completely different reality than you do.

You make your rules.

I make mine.

You live by what you think is possible in your world. I live by what I think is possible in mine.

There are six billion+ people, living in six billion+ realities that are all different. And each person has created the rules that define their reality, or has adopted the rules of others.

And here is the key to all of it… You have the power to completely create the rules that define your reality. And you can do it instantly. What was impossible today, can be possible tomorrow if you desire it to be.

This is what God meant when he said that he would grant our every heart’s desire.
This is what Napoleon Hill describes in Think and Grow Rich.

You live in your own personal reality, limited by your own personal set of rules.

This is important:

In any situation, the ideas, concepts, and beliefs of the person with the strongest reality will be adopted by the other party.

Have you ever heard that saying that “sales are a transfer of belief from one person to another”? Well that’s what that means.

When a sale is made, it means that your belief, or your reality, was stronger than the other person’s, and so they adopted it. They bought what you were selling because they bought into your reality.

Don’t believe me?

I’ll prove it.

There is a remote tribe of people called the Huli living in remote areas of Papua New Guniea. Until recently, they have never been exposed to anyone or anything outside of their immediate area. They live in a world of endless forests with no other people. You and I truly do not exist.

There are no countries. There are no such things as plastic, steal, or paper. The only flying objects are birds, and man has never been to the moon. There are no governments and there is no stock-market.

The two world wars never took place. Electricity, telephones, and roads do not even show up in their dreams.

They could never comprehend the sight of a beach, or open ocean. Whales, sharks, and submarines? Nope.

These things TRULY do not exist in their world, and they would DIE to protect their reality of the world, just has countless humans have died to protect their realities throughout history.

Yet, you and I know they are real.

We live in different realities, with different possibilities. But the Huli’s reality is just as real to them, as yours is to you.

So what does this mean to you and your business?

People attract others who live in realities similar to theirs.

Magnetic Sponsoring is all about attraction marketing. Whether that has to do with advertising "magnetic" offers, or developing a magnetic personality that attracts others...

You will ONLY attract people who live in realities similar to yours...

This means that if you are sponsoring duds, it's because deep-down, you believe you are a dud, and that is what's coming through to others.

Why is it that some people can sponsor top tier individuals with almost no effort at all, while others continue to sponsor needy, broke people?

It's easy... Your reality is a reflection of the way you see yourself inside.

If you TRULY believe you are already successful, then you will automatically do the things that successful people do, which will automatically attract other successful people.

You can't fake it. You can try... But you can't.

All of this stuff happens on it's own, without a conscious intent or agenda. It's just your reality. It's just the "way things are".

Most people try to "get successful" before they start to act successful.

It doesn't work that way. The belief has to come first, which leads to correct actions, which brings the results.

And the best part, is that you're only a decision away from creating your new reality...

Entrepreneurs decide to define their own reality. They have come to understand that they have this power.

They constantly create, and re-create the rules by which this world operates based on new experiences and new knowledge.

They continually expand their universe by accepting new rules of possibility discovered through reading, listening, and learning about the realities of others who have what they seek.

There are business building strategies and techniques which can change your life forever in minutes. Powerful things which are already part of other people’s reality.

All you need to do is expose yourself to these people’s worlds, and open yourself up to it. Be willing to adopt the rules they live by, and do business by.

And as you do, your rules will change. Things which were once impossible for you, will become possible.

Idea’s you’ve never had will start to flood you mind.
The outside world you live in will slowly begin to change as you place new rules upon it.

This is what happened to me when I found books by Perry Marshall, Dan Kennedy, and Joe Schroeder. New things… Impossible things came into my world about building a network marketing business.

They completely changed my set of rules and possibilities.

I made their realities mine, and in less than a year, I was making the kind of money that existed in their world.

And guess what's happened since then?

NEWER realities have been seen... Realities where earning $100,000/mo is not even a big deal... Where earning $1,000,000+ per month is absolutely doable...

And the ability and means to accomplish these goals have presented themselves as well.

If you want to live a new life. A free life. The life of an entrepreneur… You must seek out people who live in the world you want, because the bus you ride now doesn’t stop there.

But before that, you must decide one what reality you want to live in… Define a new set of rules for what it… You’ve got to hand the driver a new map with new stops.

Here are just a few of the rules in my world…

In my reality:

I do not fear poverty, because I will always be rich.

Making $1,000,000 a month is not only possible, but a forgone event.

People like, trust, and respect me.

There is no business skill I cannot master.

I attract Top Tier prospects effortlessly because they can see that I share a similar reality to theirs.

For many of you, these things could never happen. You could never fathom a 7 figure income, and you could never imagine ultra-high caliber, 7-figure network marketers wanting to do business with you...

Well, here’s the kicker…

You can, and they would… If, your reality, your belief level, was stronger than theirs.

If it is, they will absolutely buy into your world.

When your level of belief about a new rule you set for yourself becomes stronger than your current belief, then your world will change and you will have what you seek…

But not before.

Belief comes first. Results come second.

Define your new reality. Live it. Sleep it. Dream it. And your life will become it.

If you'd like to adopt the parts of my reality that helped me achieve spectacular results in business, the read Magnetic Sponsoring. It's that simple.

Reading the books written by mentors allowed me to adopt THEIR realities, and achieve the same kind of results they did.


for everyone

Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest.
Public safety officials said in interviews with The Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation’s first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence.
Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations. Others based the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas (following professional sports events) and also on Internet rumors.

Democratic strategists and advocates for black voters say they understand officers wanting to keep the peace, but caution that excessive police presence could intimidate voters.

Sen. Obama (Ill.), the Democratic nominee for president, has seen his lead over rival Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) grow in recent weeks, prompting speculation that there could be a violent backlash if he loses unexpectedly.

Cities that have suffered unrest before, such as Detroit, Chicago, Oakland and Philadelphia, will have extra police deployed.

In Oakland, the police will deploy extra units trained in riot control, as well as extra traffic police, and even put SWAT teams on standby.

“Are we anticipating it will be a riot situation? No. But will we be prepared if it goes awry? Yes,” said Jeff Thomason, spokesman for the Oakland Police Department.

“I think it is a big deal — you got an African-American running and [a] woman running,” he added, in reference to Obama and GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. “Whoever wins it, it will be a national event. We will have more officers on the street in anticipation that things may go south.”

The Oakland police last faced big riots in 2003 when the Raiders lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl. Officials are bracing themselves in case residents of Oakland take Obama’s loss badly.

Political observers such as Hilary Shelton and James Carville fear that record voter turnout could overload polling places on Election Day and could raise tension levels.

Shelton, the director of the NAACP’s Washington bureau, said inadequate voting facilities is a bigger problem in poor communities with large numbers of minorities.

“What are local election officials doing to prepare for what people think will be record turnout at the polls?” said Shelton, who added that during the 2004 election in Ohio voters in predominantly black communities had to wait in line six to eight hours to vote.
“On Election Day, if this continues, you may have some tempers flare; we should be prepared to deal with that but do it without intimidation,” said Shelton, who added that police have to be able to maintain order at polling stations without scaring voters, especially immigrants from “police states.”
Carville, who served as a senior political adviser to former President Bill Clinton, said that many Democrats would be very angry if Obama loses. He noted that many Democrats were upset by Sen. John Kerry’s (D-Mass.) loss to President Bush in the 2004 election, when some Democrats made allegations of vote manipulation in Ohio, the state that ultimately decided the race.

Experts estimated that thousands of voters did not vote in Ohio because of poor preparation and long lines.
Carville said Democratic anger in 2004 “would be very small to what would happen in 2008” if the same problems arose.
Carville said earlier this month that “it would be very, very, very dramatic out there” if Obama lost, a statement some commentators interpreted as predicting riots. In an interview Tuesday, however, Carville said he did not explicitly predict rioting.
“A lot of Democrats would have a great deal of angst and anger,” said Carville, who predicted that on Election Day “the voting system all around the country is going to be very stressed because there’s going to be enormous turnout.”

Other commentators have made such bold predictions.

“If [Obama] is elected, like with sports championships, people may go out and riot,” said Bob Parks, an online columnist and black Republican candidate for state representative in Massachusetts. “If Barack Obama loses there will be another large group of people who will assume the election was stolen from him….. This will be an opportunity for people who want to commit mischief.”

Speculation about Election-Day violence has spread on the Internet, especially on right-wing websites.

This has caught the attention of police departments in cities such as Cincinnati, which saw race riots in 2001 after police shot a young black man.

“We’ve seen it on the Internet and we’ve heard that there could be civil unrest depending on the outcome of [the election,]” said Lt. Mark Briede of the Cincinnati Police Department. “We are prepared to respond in the case of some sort of unrest or some sort of incident.”

Briede, like other police officials interviewed, declined to elaborate on plans for Election Day. Many police departments have policies prohibiting public discussion of security plans.
James Tate, second deputy chief of Detroit’s police department, said extra manpower would be assigned to duty on Election Night. He said problems could flare whichever candidate wins.
“Either party will make history and we want to prepare for celebrations that will be on a larger scale than for our sports teams,” Tate said.

He noted that police had to control rioters who overturned cars after the Tigers won the 1984 World Series.

“We’re prepared for the best-case scenario, we’re prepared for the worst-case scenario,” he said. “The worst-case scenario could be a situation that requires law enforcement.”
But Tate declined to describe what the worst-case scenario might look like, speaking gingerly like other police officials who are wary of implying that black voters are more likely than other voting groups to cause trouble.
Shelton, of the NAACP, said he understands the need for police to maintain order. But he is also concerned that some political partisans may point their finger at black voters as potential troublemakers because the Democratic nominee is black.

Shelton said any racial or ethnic group would get angry if they felt disenfranchised because of voting irregularities.

Police officials in Chicago, where Obama will hold a Nov. 4 rally, and Philadelphia are also preparing for Election Day.

“The Chicago Police Department has been meeting regularly to coordinate our safety and security plans and will deploy our resources accordingly,” said Monique Bond, of the Chicago Police Department.

Frank Vanore, of the Philadelphia Police Department, said officials were planning to mobilize to control exuberant or perhaps angry demonstrations after the World Series, which pits the Phillies against the Tampa Bay Rays.

He said the boosted police activity would “spill right over to the election.”



Economic cost of pollution is P1.5 billion, 2 percent of GDP
Economic cost of pollution is P1.5 billion, 2 percent of GDP

Not investing in pollution mitigation is actually costlier than investing, various studies point out.

Aside from its serious threats to health, pollution also means billions of pesos wasted in lost productivity, hospitalization and medication, as well as loss of possible revenues from tourism.

Government should therefore think twice before deciding not to invest in long term infrastructure projects no matter how expensive these may seem.

Air pollution in Metro Manila, for instance, is responsible for 12 percent of all deaths in the region, according to a joint World Bank and Department of Environment and Natural Resources study. Due to poor air quality alone, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases are reported kill almost 5,000 people in Metro Manila every year.

Last year, Rahul Raturi, Rural Development, Natural Resources and Environmental Sector Manager of the WB, said the cost of treatment and lost income from the environmental diseases are estimated to be P14 billion annually.

Environmental concerns journalist Henrylito Tacio had higher estimates of the cost of air pollution— $1.5 billion per year or about two percent of the gross domestic product. He figured the cost in terms of lost wages, medical treatment expenses, and premature loss of life due to air pollution.

Among the prevalent diseases associated with air pollution are tuberculosis, asthma and pneumonia, which are also compounded with overcrowding in most areas of the NCR.

“This means that each person each year spends around P2,000 for treatment and medication for health-related illnesses brought about by air pollution,” Tacio added.

Water-borne diseases brought about by water pollution, meanwhile, have been responsible for around 31 percent of illness monitored for a five-year period according to the 2003 Philippine Environment Monitor of the World Bank.

The study noted that the “adverse impact of water pollution costs the economy an estimated P67 billion annually . . . these include P3 billion for health, P17 billion for fisheries production, and P47 billion for tourism.”

It also cited that there is an “under-investment” by the government in sanitation and sewerage even though the said projects have been ranked as high priority as early as 1996 in the Philippines Agenda 21. For one, a measly seven percent of the total Philippine population is connected to sewer systems. As such, the study estimated that over a 10-year period, the country will need to invest P250 billion in physical infrastructure.

Local governments must also think twice about retaining outmoded solid waste management methods, such as landfilling and dumpsite contracting, since alternative and more environmentally-sound measures will actually save the government millions.

In 2004, the National Solid Waste Management Commission estimated that the country generates about 7.2 million tons of garbage every year. The commission reported that the volume is bound to increase to more than 10 million tons per year by 2010.

Citing a 2003 Asian Development Bank study, the Board of Investment of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) wrote early this year that “the total cost of solid waste management in Metro Manila in 2001, from collection to final disposal, is estimated to have reached P3.5 billion or P1,700 per ton of waste. Considering the required improvement of final disposal to sanitary landfill and reduction of waste by intermediate treatment, the cost of solid waste is expected to further increase and bear heavily upon the local budget.”

The ADB study, moreover, indicates that reduction of solid waste generation by 10 percent can save about P340 million in terms of solid waste management cost. The DTI paper noted, “this clearly demonstrates the positive impacts of promoting recycling upon national as well as local budget.”

The government, however, must be wary when it does invest in technologies aimed to curb pollution.

Environmental advocacy groups such as the EcoWaste Coalition, for instance, have lambasted a planned $2.2-million loan in the 2009 budget to purchase a reportedly outmoded hospital-waste incinerator from Austria which has been banned in most European countries.

There is no easy, quick fix solution to a long-standing and systematic malady such as pollution. It requires large and stringently-monitored investments that are both sustainable and environmentally sound.

There must be no hesitation from both government and its citizens to invest in projects aimed at curbing pollution. While the costs are great, the payback, in terms of improved and safe living conditions, will be priceless.
