Blackwater & Amway: A Family Tradition of High Markups

[scoobiedavis]

I know a lot about Amway. The business cult has been the source of funding for reactionary causes such as the dominionist movement and the sectarian right. What is particularly ironic is that many of the biggest victims of Amway/Quixtar are its largely GOP distributors. I wrote a short post on this with links to more detailed articles on the Amway/Blackwater nexus: http://scoobiedavis.blogspot.com/2007/10/family-tradition-amwayblackwater.html

Also, I have a post on links about Sun Myung Moon: http://scoobiedavis.blogspot.com/2007/09/my-posts-on-sun-myung-moon-and-family.html

2. Scoobie, where the hell have you been?

Yeah, a friend of mine's father was into Amway pretty heavy (this was back in the 70's.) He never wanted to socialize just wanted to push the product. I found it quite boorish behavior.

3. About 10 years ago, my dentist started pushing Amway on his patients.

Taking them to meetings. Bugging them to join.

His waiting room kept getting emptier and emptier. I found another dentist.

4. When we moved into our home

there was a scAmway water filtration unit. I demanded it be removed and replaced with another. I was furious with our builder for putting that in all the bathrooms and kitchen.
