2much Hosts Webmaster Access Blow Out

(Montreal) April 19, 2005 – Live video chat site creator www.2much.net found itself in a quandary in the midst of their plans for Webmaster Access East when their annual anniversary bash was scheduled at the same hour as MyVirtualCard’s Webmaster Poker Tournament.

Originally to celebrate the Tournament winner as well as 2much.net’s 8th anniversary, the party hit a brick wall when MVC’s tournament site and schedule went online.

“I was in mid-organizational frenzy when the Poker site went up,” said 2much Media guy Greg Jones. “That’s when I saw their start time.”

The Poker Tournament had always been scheduled at 8pm, said MyVirtualCard’s Joshua Ungar. “But Greg thought it was a day-time thing,” he said.

Jones, a poker enthusiast though not a big sports fan, imagined that as a spectator event, it would be a day time event.

Eric Matis, of Adult.com, the main organism behind the Webmaster Access tradeshows, finally stepped in.

“Eric saved my butt,” Jones said. “He found out about the Saturday night opening.”

“I spoke with Fred [of Braincash.com], who told me their thing was Friday, instead of Saturday night,” Matis said.

“So Saturday is all ours,” said Jones. “Which is really too bad in a way since we’ve been looking forward to doing something with MyVirtualCard for a while now. We’re friends and practically neighbours, you know?”

After JoinRightNow, the main force behind this edition of the conference, the two Montreal-based companies have applied their weight and money behind pushing this year’s Webmaster Access East conference.

“What would you do, in our place, though?” said 2much president Mark Prince. “We had the chance to close off the show in style, in a big way, with the Saturday night slot.”

2much is expecting a large turnout at the event, since many other dinners and parties, both private and public, are either concurrent or overlapping.

“But Saturday’s wide open,” Jones went on. “It’s a chance for everyone coming to the show to get together at least for one event. It’s my big schmoozathon.”

Jones and recent 2much acquisition Alain Roy, formerly of TAG Networks, are sizing up to be a formidable PR machine, according to Prince. “Since MyVirtualCard and 2much are both getting big, it’s more fitting that our two companies have two big separate events.”

Webmaster Access East opens for registration at 3:00pm, Thursday May 5th, at the Centre Sheraton Montreal Hotel. This will be followed by a Poutine and Beer orgy at local Peel Pub, organized by Gallery Traffic Service, G3X, Executive Stats and MakeFuckingMoney.

MyVirtualCard’s Poker Tournament will take place at the Sporting Club du Sanctuaire, Friday the 6th. Registration will open at 7:00 pm. Player sponsorships and preregistration are already available at http://myvirtualcard.com/poker/ .

The 2much.net 8th Anniversary, Tournament Winner’s Celebration Webmaster Access East Blow Out will begin Saturday, May 7th, at 8:00pm, at the 2much.net Old Montreal offices. There will be a networking room as well as a butt-wiggling room.

The company will require an RSVP, as well as WebMaster Access East Passes, from those desiring to attend. RSVP and info: media@2much.net .

  • Talent or Toil

    As in all endeavors, toil is necessary to succeed and more so in writing. Work or its habit is the mother of talent. A writer must labor over his craft until it becomes strength, and the only way the writer can develop this efficacy is by working at it, sitting at one’s desk or computer and writing.

    Like any work, this requires the expenditure of timetime spent writing, time spent thinking, time spent practicing the craft of writing, and time spent deliberating about what to write and how to write it. All of this requires the habit of work, the usage of time, the routine of sitting at a desk or before a computer, and the effort of writing.

    Procrastination, dawdling, delaying, and hesitating hide any talent that the writer possesses. Only by forcing oneself to write, and to write consistently, daily, will this talent develop and produce results. Of course, the amount of time spent at writing will depend on each person’s situation, desire, and goal. Learning how to use any talent that one possesses is where effort is controlled, where struggle has a purpose, and where determination to succeed is required.

    Learning how to use the whole of one’s talent will result in great success and satisfaction. “Learning how to use the whole of one’s talent” is the difficult part, the part that requires a great deal of dedication, much thought and reflection, and the physical exertion of actually penning or typing the words on paper or screen. Sometimes even that can be a struggle.

    Thought and reflection are two important essentials required of any writerthought that comes from the very soul of the writer whether it is poetry or prose, reflection that develops that thinking. All writing comes from the deep within and embodies the essence of the person. Without that kind of attention, the writing is shallow and weak.

    Once the thoughts are torn out and become tangible as words on the page, then it is the time to review, re-assess, and revise the ideas and polish them until they shine brightly and express truly and succinctly what the writer intended.

    Thus, the labor of the writer’s craft requires three things: thought, labor, and revision.

    How To Become a Freelance Grant Writer

    What is a freelance grant writer? These individuals have a lot of power in their hands. When they work for companies, they are essentially trying to help gain free money for that company to help the company expand, do research, or to stay in business. These individuals will use a detailed knowledge of the environment to create the best piece of work they can. Freelance grant writers hold a lot of people’s jobs within their hands.

    For those looking to become a grant writer, there are a wide range of choices out there. For example, you can get jobs within the medical fields where you help to write to raise money for medical research. Here, you could be showing the importance of why the research is vital to creating a vaccine or to developing a cure. Or, you may be working with a company developing new technology to expand. In any case, most people who hold these jobs will need experience and a lot of training and schooling to prepare quality work that delivers these companies the results they need.

    The chances of employment in these fields is good. As more and more companies expand, more and more writers also are needed. But, while there are vacancies in the field, it is difficult to find a great job right off the bat. Instead, individuals will start with writing of lower importance and work up to writing for the ‘big guys’. It is through experience that you can learn the methods needed to succeed. Still, it is essential to keep striving for the next level up as you fill your portfolio with impressive work.

    The field is expected to grow as more and more companies strive for the grant money that they each believe should be theirs. You will help determine if it will be or if it will go to another company.

    RoboCat Rat Zapper

    Do you need a cat to catch those rats around your house, but you do not want the cat to drag them into the house to eat them or to display them to you so you know they are doing their hunting job? New RoboCat Rat Zapper is almost here! If you do not have a cat then your rats will multiply and cause you problems, but if you buy a cat, that means another pet or animal to look after. Cats make great pets but they are also expensive to feed. If you spend $10.00 per week on cat food, cat litter and toys for a couple of cats then you are paying about $520.00 per year on your pet to catch and eat those rats.

    You will also have to deal with the smell, damage to sofa, cat hair and a pet that you just know will not listen but rather take over the household and do what ever it damn well pleases. In fact if you tell them to kill the rats they will just look at you like you are a stupid human (no comment) and roll back over and go to sleep.

    Now then, I propose you lease a new RoboCat, equipped with a high-powered stun gun. It will recharge and plug into the wall at night and hunt those rats all day. The AttackCat system, which is an up grade can be leased for $35.00 per week, which is a cost savings over the real organic model. It will purr and do all those other things, but it does not smell, actually farts out fragrance in those parts of the house it senses unfortunate smelly ordors. There are six fragrances to choose from.

    Some consumers are even setting up RoboCat Co-ops and share these cat with others while on vacation, similar to a four-legged Time Share. You and your whole neighborhood can prevent the spread of disease with a few RoboCats in your neighborhood. Think of it as a organic replica run neighborhood watch program?

    CCNP / BCMSN Exam Tutorial: VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)

    Passing the BCMSN exam and getting one step closer to the CCNP certification means learning and noticing details that you were not presented with in your CCNA studies. (Yes, I know – you had more than enough details then, right?) One protocol you’ve got to learn more details about is VTP, which seemed simple enough in your CCNA studies! Part of learning the details is mastering the fundamentals, so in this tutorial we’ll review the basics of VTP.

    In show vtp status readouts, the “VTP Operating Mode” is set to “Server” by default. The more familiar term for VTP Operating Mode is simply VTP Mode, and Server is the default. It’s through the usage of VTP modes that we can place limits on which switches can delete and create VLANs.

    In Server mode, a VTP switch can be used to create, modify, and delete VLANs. This means that a VTP deployment has to have at least one switch in Server mode, or VLAN creation will not be possible. Again, this is the default setting for Cisco switches.

    Switches running in Client mode cannot be used to create, modify, or delete VLANs. Clients do listen for VTP advertisements and act accordingly when VTP advertisements notify the Client of VLAN changes.

    VTP Transparent mode actually means that the switch isn’t participating in the VTP domain as Servers and Clients do. (Bear with me here.) Transparent VTP switches don’t synchronize their VTP databases with other VTP speakers. They don’t even advertise their own VLAN information! Therefore, any VLANs created on a Transparent VTP switch will not be advertised to other VTP speakers in the domain, making them locally significant only. (I know you remember that phrase from your CCNA studies!)

    Devices running VTP Transparent mode do have a little something to do with the other switches in the VTP domain, though. When a switch running in Transparent mode receives a VTP advertisement, that switch will forward that advertisement to other switches in that VTP domain.

    Configuring switches as VTP Clients is a great way to “tie down” VLAN creation capabilities to switches that are under your physical control. However, this occasionally leads to a situation where only the VTP clients will have ports that belong to a given VLAN, but the VLAN still has to be created on the VTP server. (VLANs can be created and deleted in transparent mode, but those changes aren’t advertised to other switches in the VTP domain.)

    In the next BCMSN tutorial, we’ll take a look at the details of VTP.

    The Power of the Newsletter – Solidifying Customer Relationships with Captivating, Relevant, Durable

    You’ve worked hard to gain your customers’ business and want to explore ways to strengthen your relationship with them while informing them of important news and information. One proven method of maintaining regular contact with existing and potential customers is by distributing a company newsletter. But wait! Before you begin developing your first issue, don’t make the common mistake of thinking your newsletter is another opportunity to “sell” more products and services. Newsletters are NOT ads; what’s more, if you make the mistake of treating your newsletter like an advertisement you will not only turn off many of your valued customers, you will risk destroying that coveted trust that you’ve worked so hard to develop.

    Think of your newsletter as an intangible agreement you make with your customers. They’re living up their end of the agreement by opening your newsletter and scanning it for information that is relevant to them; your end of the agreement is to deliver content that your customers will find engaging, relevant and pertinent to their needs. If they enjoy the read, if they learn something new, if they’re left with a positive feeling, then your newsletter has succeeded in boosting their perception of your company and they will likely purchase more products and services from your organization in the future.

    The trick to writing effective newsletter content is to stick to what you know best and share your knowledge and experience with your customers. Don’t assume that your customers will know what you consider basic information – it’s amazing how much knowledge and experience business owners simply take for granted. Think of your newsletter as an opportunity to share your expertise and teach what you have learned about your products and your industry. When assembling the content, ask yourself if the information you are assembling will be helpful, interesting and useful to your customers in some way.

    INCOMPAS can assist you in writing and producing your own effective newsletter content, or we can edit your existing newsletter and offer constructive advice on how to strengthen your editorial product. To get you started, we’ve developed a step-by-step guide to assist you in producing a winning newsletter.

    —————————————————————– —————

    Step-by-Step Plan for Developing Durable Newsletter Content

    1) Be in tune with your audience – Always put yourself in your readers’ shoes by thinking about what matters to them. What are their most frequently asked questions when it comes to your products and services? Ask your customers about what issues matter most to them. Hold a brainstorm session with your colleagues and talk to your sales, administrative and technical staff – the front line for your customers; ask them what they think is on your customers’ minds.

    2) Build a solid foundation – Decide how many pages your newsletter will be and think carefully about how often you can realistically produce an issue. Develop a budget, and be realistic about the time and expense required to assemble, write, design, edit and distribute each issue of a newsletter. Assemble the team you will require to help you develop and maintain a quality newsletter. Ideally, you will have an editor in place to manage and deliver polished content and a designer to establish and maintain a distinct, refined look.

    3) Establish an editorial calendar – Plan your issues in advance, develop an editorial calendar and decide on a production schedule. Give your contributors plenty of lead time and clearly written writers guidelines, including word count expectations and photo requirements. Because you will likely depend on volunteers to contribute to your newsletter, realize that the only person who will respect imposed deadlines will be you. Allow plenty of time in your production schedule to allow for unexpected delays.

    4) Develop centralized themes – Start by grouping your newsletter content around a central theme that will tie all articles together. Working to a theme will help you focus your content and will help your readers better relate to your company, products and services. When structuring your newsletter, start with one or two short feature articles (such as a customer testimonial or case study, or an article examining a current, newsworthy issue) and follow with regular departments reporting product, company and industry news, and providing seasonal advice, tips & tricks, frequently asked questions (faqs), training, trends, etc. Ask a leader in your organization to write a column each issue, and place this column in a prominent position in your newsletter, preferably immediately following your “lead” feature. Once you establish a newsletter structure, follow it every issue to give your readers a greater feeling of continuity and brand recognition. Don’t forget to leave space for a linking Table of Contents or a box explaining what’s inside.

    5) Focus on content first – Don’t let fancy graphics and colourful images distract you from delivering engaging, relevant content. Develop the content first and ensure the newsletter’s design supports and highlights your message. When writing, remember that newsletter articles should be short and direct; place all of your most important information in the first sentence or paragraph if you can. If an article requires a more in-depth approach, write a short newsletter introduction and summary highlighting the main points of the story, and provide a link to a more detailed article in your website. This option will enable you to populate your newsletter with a variety of quick-read articles, drive traffic to your site while allowing anyone interested to read on for more information, and build on the trusted relationship that you have established by delivering a relevant, interesting and entertaining newsletter.

    6) Use active voice – Don’t get lost in passive land! Keep your sentence structure short, snappy and active. Passive voice can be tricky to spot; watch your word order, since a passive construction presents the object first and the subject last. For example, “ABC Corporation designed the new widgets to improve efficiency” is a more effective than “The new widgets were designed by ABC Corporation in an effort to improve efficiency.” Also when writing, always ask yourself, ‘who cares?’ and ‘why is this information important to my audience/customers?’ Place contact and other support information in sidebars, giving your readers quick visual reference points.

    7) Write an attention-grabbing subject line – When distributing your newsletter by e-mail, your subject line should tie directly to a specific headline article in your newsletter, and – most importantly – it must stand out distinctively amidst the multitude of subject lines in your recipients’ Inboxes. Your subject line should also give your readers a clear idea of the main theme and subject matter of your newsletter.

    8) Provide opt-in options – Manage subscriber expectations right from the start by explaining to your readers the editorial focus and purpose of your newsletter, as well as the value your readers can expect to receive by receiving and reading it. Provide a link to back issues to give people an idea of the general nature of your newsletter, and give them options to unsubscribe from receiving your newsletter electronically or in print form. Follow the standard rules that dictate distribution of responsible permissions-based e-mail practices.

    9) Read up on your competition – Reading newsletters produced by your competitors and other industry participants will help you generate new ideas, and stay abreast of what people in your industry are talking about. If your competitor covers a topic of great importance to your industry, it is perfectly acceptable for you to cover that topic as well; for best results, wait a few issues and approach the issue from a completely different perspective.

    10) Seek reader feedback – First, talk to your customers about the articles you’re developing and ask their permission to publish their comments in your article. Watch to see how people scan your newsletter. Talk with a new sampling of readers after each issue, and conduct regular formal readership surveys. Monitor click-through rates and use web analytics to help you track reader response to the articles you present, and use this information to guide you as you develop future issues. Don’t be afraid to get a little controversial. Establish a strong editorial voice and an open forum, and get people talking by inviting your readers into the dialogue.

    Online Dictionaries: A Universe of Words

    Everybody needs a dictionary. You may have a tattered family volume, a hardcover dictionary from student days, or a paperback bought at a bargain price. But you don’t have to buy a dictionary, you may go online and discover a universe of words and fun.

    Looking for a Spanish translation? Go online. Need a defintion for a Cockney word? Go online. Wondering about a Chinese symbol? Go online. Before you visit an online dictionary you need to prepare for the “trip.” Grab a cup of coffee or tea, or a glass of water, and a healthy snack, because once you start reading dictionaries you’ll be absorbed for hours.

    Start with “OneLook Dictionary Search,” a fascinating Website with 6,257,269 indexed words from 993 dictionaries. Your options include a basic word search or a “wildcard pattern” search that matches any sequence of letters. The word “bluebird” is used as an example. To find the definition you may enter “blue” or “bird” or “bl (blanks here)rd.” There’s also a reverse dictionary on the Website. If you enter the phrase “when cancer spreads through the body,” for example, dozens of medical words pop up.

    “The AlphaDictionary” Website is just plain fun. A word of the day is posted on the site and when I accessed it the word was “glade.” You may submit your own word of the day if you’re so inclined. If you get bored while you’re looking for definitions click on “AlphaDictionary Word Games” and do crossword puzzles and “word jungles.”

    Cambridge University Press has a Website called “Cambridge Dictionaries Online.” You’ll find a variety of dictionaries on this site, plus dozens of “Online Activities and Worksheets.” I clicked on CLD, activities to do with the “Cambridge Learner’s Dictionary,” and found an alphabet trivia quiz, collation games that show how words are used together, multiple meanings, verb patterns, information on nouns, verbs, and adjectives, “The Rich and Famous” crossword puzzle, and more.

    There’s also a list of “The Top 40 Words 2004″ on this site. I learned the word “advice” has held its place as number one. According to Cambridge University, “The only change in the top 6 is the fall of ‘idiom’ from 4th place in 2003 to 17.” Like a soccer mom rooting for a small kid on the team, I found myself rooting for “idiom” and hoped it would rise to stardom again.

    “The TravLang Translating Dictionaries” Website has dictionaries in more than 35 languages, including Hungarian, Polish, Esperanto, and Turkish. You’ll also find an AOL Translator link and an online dictionary on this site. Many foreign language dictionaries, including this one, have ads on them so be prepared.

    “Webopedia” (I love the name) is both a dictionary and a search engine for Internet and Technical definitions. I’ve used it several times and found it user-friendly and concise. You’ll find other unusual dictionaries on this site, too: South Asia dictionaries, Biblical dictionaries, Gaelic dictionaries, and more.

    You’ll want to check out an encompassing Website called “The Internet Public Library.” A stop here gets you “Strange and Unsual Dictionaries,” “VoyCabulary” (links to Web pages or phrasesto online references like dicitonaries) and even a Chinese Characters Dictionary.

    The next time you’re stumped by a word, or need a break, or the kids have cabin fever, go on the Internet and visit online dictionaries. You’ll have fun, the kids will have fun, and everyone will learn new words and new things. What a deal.

    Ezine Article Writing: A Template Saves Time and Aids Structure

    Writing articles and submitting them to article directories is a great way to generate publicity and expert reputation but can be a time consuming and frustrating process unless you approach it systematically. Having written hundreds features for printed media for 20 years, I soon found I needed a very different approach for online articles and developed this template to help me produce articles that work.

    The first thing I learned is that you are writing for four audiences with different sets of needs.

    1. The Publisher - Web sites, ezines, blogs and printed media all require different lengths and styles of content so you need to be flexible with lots of choice from short punchy to in depth analysis to personal commentary. Articles need to be topical, from an expert and contain no overt promotion and self serving links. The more articles you write the more of an “expert” you become.

    2. The Reader - People search the internet for content so the article needs to provide topical, fresh ideas with plenty of easy to digest, practical advice.

    3. The Search Engines – You need to do extensive keyword research for your web site then select a specific primary keyword or phrase for each article and use it liberally for maximum search engine ranking

    4. The Directory - They each have specific requirements regarding format, structure and topic. Each article will be checked to see that it does not beach their content guidelines and formatting rules.

    Before you start the article – type out the headings below to form the template – then use the notes to guide you.

    Article Title

    Maximum 100 characters (including spaces) – that’s about 12 words.

    Make it grabby to catch the attention of readers and publishers but start with your primary search engine keyword phrase. In printed media titles starting “How to…” or “10 top tips for…” are very popular – they are not good for search engines. This will go in the title of a web page.

    Abstract

    Maximum 500 characters – about 90 words but 50 or 60 is better.

    Make it enticing to hook the publisher and make them want to read the full article. The abstract is primarily targeted at the publisher and will be displayed just below the title on the search pages in the directory, but is secondary to the title in getting attention. Some publishers may also use it.

    Description – Meta Tag

    Maximum 200 characters but preferably 150 – two lines of text.

    Shorter punchier version of the abstract which must contain your primary keywords – you will need this if you publish on your own web site.

    Keywords – Meta Tag

    Maximum 100 characters – about 12 words comma separated

    Start with your primary keyword of phrase then add other relevant keywords used in the article.

    Article Text

    Length really depends on your market and style. Much advice suggests about 250 to 750 words, but some publishers want in-depth analysis and I have had a 1700 word article reproduced at least once. Research your market and be flexible, with a mix of lengths and perhaps long and short versions of the same article.

    Write the basic article with NO FORMATTING WHATSOEVER – if you are using word, disable all the auto-formatting like smart quotes, automatic hypertext links and paragraph spacing because they will all cause you problems. You can always reset them later.

    Get your Primary Keyword Phrase into the first sentence if you can and provide a liberal sprinkling of keywords throughout. Don’t overdo it. The article still has to be a good read and remember though you are writing for four audiences, Content is King.

    Absolutely no advertorial copy – Do not promote your products and services you will kill the article.

    Absolutely no self serving links – No links to your web site or affiliate sites in the body of the article, if you do you will not be published. If you have links to resources show them as text – many sites do not allow live html links in the article.

    Copyright

    Copyright, date, name, country

    Few directories ask for this but it makes sense to put it at the bottom of the article or in the field requested.

    Resource Box

    Maximum 500 characters, “including spaces and html code.” This is the limit for many sites so best to stick to it for all.

    This is your opportunity to promote yourself but limit to 1 or 2 self serving links and write in the “Third Person.” The publisher has to live with this on their site or ezine so make it palatable for them. I offer an incentive for people to visit my web site, but make sure that live links show the web address not keywords. If the publisher doesn’t use live links, you still want people to see the web address.

    HTML Formatted Article

    Once you have completed the unformatted text article – you can then make an HTML formatted copy if you wish. Most sites do not need HTML, a lot of publishers don’t accept it and some directories forbid all html. Remember “Content is King.” If you do format – keep it simple – too much formatting and it will never be published.

    Count Rumford – VIP Spy

    Why did FDR say Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Count Rumford were the three most important Americans? (1) Why did the Holy Roman Empire and the Hapsburgs make Benjamin Thompson a nobleman? James Bond had nothing on this man of mystery.

    FDR lauds their intellect and does not say why they were truly all that important. He is part of the same ‘octopus’ but at a lower level or ‘front’ for political purposes. Jefferson was a politician as was Franklin too, but that is not why they are so important. Ben Franklin might have been an agent or double agent for the plutocrats and oligarchs who were playing both sides of the freedom fence while expanding their power. He was a member of the Rosicrucian Council of Three along with Paine. Jefferson was a Newtonian alchemist or scientist who was selected and trained very early in life as part of the Merovingian genetic program and he went on to do a lot of miscegenating himself. Clearly none of this will be laid before you in any exam to pass your citizenship tests. But Rumford was given a Royal title by the Hapsburg or Holy Roman Emperors and worked with the British Royals they are part of a Holy Alliance (see Treaty of Verona etc.). Here is a little dribble about him that also makes mention of ancient electricity even though it does not detail Numa’s machines which are in the British Museum.

    “Two thousand years ago, a number of Greek and Roman philosophers (notably Thales of Miletus and Pliny who was killed while trying to study the eruption of Vesuvius of the year 79 when Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried beneath the ashes) had noticed the strange antics of bits of straw and of feather which were held near a piece of amber which was being rubbed with a bit of wool. The schoolmen of the Middle Ages had not been interested in this mysterious “electric” power. But immediately after the Renaissance, William Gilbert, the private physician of Queen Elizabeth, wrote his famous treatise on the character and behaviour of Magnets. During the Thirty Years War Otto von Guericke, the burgomaster of Magdeburg and the inventor of the air-pump, constructed the first electrical machine. During the next century a large number of scientists devoted themselves to the study of electricity. Not less than three professors invented the famous Leyden Jar in the year 1795. At the same time, Benjamin Franklin, the most universal genius of America next to Benjamin Thomson (who after his flight from New Hampshire on account of his pro-British sympathies became known as Count Rumford) was devoting his attention to this subject. He discovered that lightning and the electric spark were manifestations of the same electric power and continued his electric studies until the end of his busy and useful life. Then came Volta with his famous ‘electric pile’ and Galvani and Day and the Danish professor Hans Christian Oersted and Ampere and Arago and Faraday, all of them diligent searchers after the true nature of the electric forces.” (2)

    The Delanos of FDR’s heritage are involved with the drug and other illicit enterprises. His family were aware enough of the British financing of the American War of Independence and I think his high Mason status and involvement with the Oak Island Salvage & Wrecking Company are most telling as well as the people he appointed to reconstruct Europe. Time Magazine chose him as the Man of the Century. He was if you are a Merovingian such as those who own the major media. His gift of Eastern Europe to Stalin effectively ensured the continued genocide and de-population or cover-up efforts of the true New World Order that he was involved with putting proudly upon the US greenback that became the true government of the whole world. You know what walks while money talks and I could give you a tip about ‘walking softly and carrying a big stick’.

    There are some people who will say there was no British Royal involvement in the funding of America and it would be counter to their own best interests. But the Royals were not increasing their wealth as much as they wanted or as much as their cousins the Rothschilds were doing. It was not long after the Second War of Independence in 1812 that we saw immortal corporate entities with increasing rights beyond any of the individual come to pass.
