Many may wonder with the lackluster performance of Polaris Media Group, where have all the high profile advisors gone that all once spoke of this being the opportunity of a lifetime and being so firmly behind it?

If you were familiar at all with Liberty League International then you know all about the meaningless propaganda spewed out to get others to jump on board with you.  It’s no surprise that in time all the negative effects of these worthless and fake testimonials would lose their value.

U.S. based Liberty League International decided to go “International” in Australia and the storm of controversy and joining together of the people scammed out of large sums of money, quickly brought down the rapid take off they seemed to at first enjoy.  Eventually being declared a illegal pyramid scheme they had no choice but to quickly rebrand.

Although rumored to be something longtime coming, that timing and hastiness of the product release showed otherwise.  Registration dates of copyrights and other materials only supported it more.  At any rate, longtime coming or desperate attempt to save the Liberty League people, it seemed to fail terribly.  I predicted it coming, and predicted it failing. When you have all the same high profile people tied to an illegal pyramid scheme, and then tied to a new opportunity that is basically the same thing, it’s bound to meet failure.

Then there is the scientology thing, a Pandora’s box I’m not even gonna open.

It seemed pretty quick that Polaris wasn’t gonna produce the same results Liberty League did when it took Australia by storm.  So it was no surprise either to see people start jumping ship.  Many have left, for all different stated reasons.  Most, if not all, have rejoined some other opportunity, many very similar to what they left.

So what are they doing now?  Many seem to be laying low and not putting themselves all out there, seems obvious why that might be.  One thing I have come across lately is a thing called Northstar Global Marketing.  Northstar…aka  Polaris…  Yeah, so anyway, Northstar Global Marketing.  For $47 bucks a month they will send you the “Entrepreneur Newsletter”.  Guess who is behind this one… Tony Rush, John and Shannon Lavenia, and Gene Braxton and a mention of Unified Wealth Solutions.  Those are familiar names huh.

Being linked now back to the people that were involved with Liberty League doesn’t surprise me they would call it the “underground” newsletter. 

Don’t get me wrong though, Tony and friends know there stuff when it comes to marketing.  No matter what LLI was at its core, it was made successful by those that hung it all out there and marketed it, and all those scummy advisors that lied, cheated, brainwashed and stole from people to get them to join up with big promises of endless income.  But it couldnt have been done without high profile marketing players acting as anchors for the business to tie itself too.

I don’t subscribe to the newsletter so I can’t speak of its contents or value being worth $47 a month.  I wonder if it is a newsletter full of bogus business opportunities like the old LLI or the new and unimproved Polaris and such.  The only thing that would make it of value to me is if it were truly about marketing a business, as I know this is something they can do.  As far as finding your legitimate business opportunity that will last long term and produce constant and stable income, and not require you to constantly jump from business to business to business, I am not convinced this is something they can help you with.

Anybody trying this newsletter?  Reviews and comments welcome…

What is up with Izea Ranks?  I have noticed for a short time now that my sites Izea Real Rank has been steadily climbing, the higher the number the lower the rank, even as traffic continues to increase on the site. 

I logged in and checked my account on Izearanks and the traffic stats it displayed are not even close to what Google analytics and statcounter show.  I have noticed I am not alone and other bloggers are talking of this phenomenon too.

It doesn’t appear the Izearanks has been able to give any good advice or possible solution to what the problem may be.  That leaves me with one good option, remove Izearanks code from pages and stop participating in their program.

Sure that means I won’t be able to take paid blogging opportunities but that is not something I have ever done much of as the few times I did do it, it just made me feel kind of cheap sometimes.  I do like socialspark for the blogger community it provides even if you dont take paid opportunities.

I have still liked being plugged into the Izearanks ranking system just because it was one more indicator on how things were going with my blog, but I will learn to do without.

From The Navy Pier

Well after what was supposed to be a short move, and later turned into a 2,500 mile round trip across a big portion of this great country, I am back.  Along the way I made a visit to some of Americas great cities and saw some sites.

We checked out the Navy Pier in Chicago.  It was a chilly windy day but Chicago provided a great cityscape and Lake Michigan was awesome!

Now it’s time for me to catch up on my reading for school.  Doing assignments has been a bit tough not having read the material that goes along with it.

Hey visitors to MoneyXperiment.com. Please bare with me as I am currently in the process of moving to my new home. I will be back soon with more frequent post as soon as the move is complete!

I’m still a member of the ning group and occasionally read the fourm. A while back some guy was bragging about how he lied to the bank and told them he was using the money to get a nose job. Well, apparantly he’s gotten himself into some financial trouble. This is what he said on the fourm:

“Hey guys are girls… I require some assistance.

I unfortunately, managed to dig myself a bit of a hole I can’t get out of immediately.

I’ve been holding off and off on asking for help, but not asking is what got me here; I had this dream of doing it for myself “no one but me did this” etc… but I’ve evolved that dream and realized that other people joining in isn’t the worst thing in the world ahha .

I’m having some financial difficulties no thats not right… more of a hurdle .

regardless, I would appreciate anyones help.”

Wonder if anyone will help? This is so sad.

Today there are countless methods of surveillance on people and its become such common place these days.  It seems most businesses now have some level of closed circuit camera system, many go beyond that to allow people to watch the cameras real time and playback as well, even from remote locations.

Most all places have computers and we use them for are jobs most anywhere you work.  Many employers today deploy surveillance software that allow them to view exactly what you see on your computer screen from a remote location.  Not to mention it records the history of everything you do and even snaps screen shots and saves them for later viewing.

No longer can you expect privacy in the workplace.  What happens though when the people deploying the spy tools and watching your every move suddenly have counter spy measures put in place?  Many times you find that surveillance techniques were deployed on the wrong people from the get go.

Should a person the has deployed tools to spy become upset when they have been spied on?  Seems kind of silly for them to think that they can spy on people and not ever be spied on themselves right?  I can tell you first hand in most cases people that deploy spy techniques really don’t appreciate being spied on themselves and can feel a overwhelming sense of being invaded.  All while never feeling they may be overstepping boundaries by monitoring every move others where making.

Pay a decent wage and hire good people.  Save the money on all the spy tools to catch your employees screwing up.  If your that sure they are doing something wrong, what the hell did you hire them for?  Lastly, its hardly reasonable to think you can deploy spy techniques on people and try to pry into their lives with no remorse, yet be offended if you are a victim of surveillance yourself…
