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…

The web is abound with information about Liberty League International, now doing business as Polaris Media Group, as well as the many higher profile people involved with it.  Many people joined but anybody that has much knowledge on them could tell you that there were less than ten big players within the group.

A comment came today that had me revisiting Ozsoapbox.com once again.  It was stated that Tony along with some other had left the hyped Polaris Media Group.  I unfortunately couldn’t find any evidence of that on the site but did go beyond that to just some more reading all across the web.

Tony Rush as most know, is or was one of the high profile figures of LLI and Polaris.  Having visited this site and commenting several times, something I haven’t seen him do on many other places that focused on the bad of these business opportunities.  Usually it seemed he stuck to the member forums and places that promoted this business. 

I do have a particular interest in Tony’s status with Polaris Media Group.  We have had somewhat limited dialogue on several exchanges and his direction with these companies and if he has left, would be important to know.  With the history of comments and things said by him, it would be considered unusual that he suddenly would leave, it would be like me suddenly joining Polaris.  Everyone would be like “WTF?”

Many people are talking and posting things, nothing would be better than hearing it from Tony directly what’s going on right?

Looks like the folks still pushing the Polaris Media Group “thing” have got another marketing campaign heating up.  Traffic for people looking for post about these people is off the chart again.  I have pretty much stopped following the news on these people since they were officially labeled a pyramid scheme under the Liberty League International name.

Whether it is Liberty League or Polaris Media, should be a no brainer when you do your research.  All of these stories and warnings are out there for a reason.  No they are not pissed off failed members like many want you to believe.  Read the warnings and do some thourogh research as to make sure you are doing what you need to do to protect your money.  Goodnight all!

Seems in the last couple weeks there has been considerable more people from the United States looking for information on Polaris Media Group.  This tells me there must be a little more marketing of the re-branded Liberty League International back in our country again.

 To anyone searching for information on Polaris Media Group I strongly recommend you also do research on Liberty League International.  This is what Polaris was before they were Polaris.  Polaris may seem a little more attractive when searching because you may not see the info of all the people talking of being ripped off, the lawsuits and class action taken against them, and their brutal mistake of storming Australia.

 Thinking of trying Polaris Media Group?  Do your research and know exactly what your getting into.  Do you feel like you have been a victim of a MLM or direct sales scheme?  Make sure and report it to the proper authorities. 

An Australian authority for consumer protection has begun a major initiative to stop online scam websites, see story here.  Including the hokey two dollar websites run by many of the what used to be known as Liberty League International.  My including them in this group hardly needs to be explained, all one needs to do is check out one of their many advisors look-a-like websites filled with the false claims and fake lifestyles.

 This action follows the Dept of Fair Trading declaring Liberty League an illegal pyramid scheme.  It seems the combined effort of Australian authority and it’s citizens caused Liberty League to imploded on itself.  They seemed to take Australia by storm marketing Liberty League by all means imaginable.  They had a pretty good run but the plug did seem as though it finally got pulled.

 Take a look at this Australian based forum and how it has exploded with information about the scam and was probably what kicked the first leg out from under Liberty League International.  This sent Liberty League scrambling for life raft, branch, or anything to save themselves.  Is their sudden re-branding to Polaris Media Group going to save them?  I doubt it, not if the Australians have any say in it. 

 It leaves me to wonder with all of our consumer protection we have here in America why is stricter action not taken here?  I realize they haven’t marketed in the States like they have in Australia.  And there has been class action against them here, not to mention litigation against them from the Arizona Attorney General that levied some hefty fines and restrictions.  But they didn’t adhere to the restrictions and did business as normal.

 As Americans we need to stand up together and fight off the lowlifes preying on our fellow citizens.  It isn’t just enough avoid them and hope no one you know gets involved.  We need to seriously pressure our consumer protection groups to take more action on people taking advantage and scamming others.  We need watchdogs not afraid to twist arms.  And we need to make aware to everyone when a scam is in operation, who they are, and why they are about to be shut down.

 Spare the bullshit testimonials from supposed members making so much money they cant see straight.  We need actual investigations into the claims posted on websites.  Perhaps the I.R.S. would be willing to assist in the inflated claims of income?  Maybe the F.T.C. could be expanded to do hardcore in depth investigations on these scams instead of just taking complaints?  We need to do more as a country and as a society.  Lets force these people to be accountable…

I really thought I wanted to avoid this topic entirely but I have discovered what bothered me most about it.  Much of the information I had on this site was very detailed to personal identities to Liberty League members and such.

It even got very personal when some family of an advisor became involved with the discussion.  It all came to a head when it was topped off with a religious spin.

One thing I did like though was letting it be know what people could expect if they involved themselves with that business opportunity.  One thing I anticipated for a while was LLI morphing to something new.

This was a unavoidable move due to the fact that LLI must have been hard to keep alive with all the bad reviews and people burned.  A sign it was coming was the fact this company didn’t even seem to be trying to do business in the country it was based in.  Instead it had moved to other countries with what appeared to be more lax laws to operate the scheme.

They exploded in Australia and little did they know that was probably what killed LLI.  The Australian state of New South Whales showed they had no tolerance for that kind of activity by declaring LLI a illegal pyramid scheme.  And from there it seemed LLI fell in on its self.

Relentless these people are, as Polaris Media Group rose up from the ashes of the disgraced LLI.  They say they have restructured to focus more on selling of products and less on recruiting new members, possibly in an effort to keep from being labeled a pyramid scheme again.

Its pretty obvious that LLI was nothing more than a scam to try to get you to go out and recruit people, they have even made that clear by saying that Polaris isn’t going to be that way.  On that knowledge I have a hard time believing that Polaris Media Group is going to be a honest and legitimate operation.  Slightly restructuring to stay in the gray area of the law is a lame move and most can see right through it.
