A reader wrote in to say his mother was being victimized by a putative religious organization called Elite Activity Resurrected. It has to be seen to be believed. It's all dressed up in egalitarian pieties about ending world poverty, but when you look at the actual operation, it's a remarkably blatant con game.
The World's first Interdenominational Belief System on the Internet!
Poverty is our Adversary!
"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. These are revolutionary times. All over the globe men are revolting against old systems of exploitation and oppression, and out of the wounds of a frail world, new systems of justice and equality are being born. Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty." -- Martin Luther King Jr., April 4, 1967.
"Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow." -- Isaiah 1:17.
Aww, that sounds so noble. But here's how it works:
Our models of abundance are designed specifically to anchor the belief that giving opens the way to receiving. Once you choose to participate in any Elite Activity model, you enter the cycle of abundance from the outer circle and give unconditionally without consideration to the participant in the inner circle. When you do this with the proper intent, and follow the guidelines, you will eventually reach 'the inner circle'. This is where other participants give their unconditional gifts to you, and you experience the power of 'Many giving to one'.
And here's a kind of 'review', if by that we mean 'uncritical endorsement of fraud'.
You are first "invited" to join the Elite Resurrected gifting program by a current member and then on the out-most ring in which place your "gift" (starting at $100), a monetary amount to the person that has made it to the center. You then "invite" at least two people that want to share in the giving during the second phase (the person that originally invited you will help you in this.). During the "Empowering" phase you help the people that you invited and once you successfully fulfill that part you move into the inner circle where you receive your gifts. There, it says, you will be able to receive 4 "gifts" (a total of $400) before being "invited" to join a new cycle at $250. You can still receive 2 more "gifts" at the center of the $100, after which time you will be recycled back to another $100 circle to make your way to the center once again.
Can you say "PYRAMID SCHEME!", boys and girls? Sure, I knew you could. This is criminal activity; the only people whose poverty is going to be diminished are the members of the inner circle, and they're going to make out like bandits. They are bandits!
Alert the police. They have a list of upcoming gatherings in places like Little River SC, Litchfield Park AZ, Houston TX, and lots of events in Mexico. I think having the local bunco squad paying a call on these thieves would add a welcome bit of festivity to their gatherings. They are vermin preying on fears of the economically disadvantaged.
