Passport MLM sinks - you tell us why

2006-05-08T05:39:00.000-07:00

Qrush has decided to ask readers why they believe the MLM Passport ship sank. And if you are having a difficult time narrowing your answer down to one answer, good news, you can select multiple answers. Qrush over and out.

Why did the Passport MLM go out of business?
	Poor product selection (Even with their Bone Builder and Prostate pills. Read more here.)
	No training system (They laughed at businesses that attempt this. Read more here.)
	Lack of capital (Not even Daddy and the Sweat family could help enough here. Read more here.)
	Parasite marketing plan (Apparently ethics do count for something. Read more here.)
	Bo Short as CEO (On the job training doesn't always work. Read more here.)
	Ty Tribble as new CEO (Or was he just designated Patsy? Read more here.)
	Unholy alliance with Scott Larsen (Be careful who you associate with. Read more here.)
	No market identity (Saying "we are not Quixtar" is not an identity. Read more here.)
	No Passport winners (If you can't show off an Associate with some positive results no one believes in your business. Read more here.)
	Got on Qrush's bad side (Get on Qrush's bad side and you go down. Read more here.)

The above statements and comments are based on Qrush’s observations of the pitiful rise and quick fall of Bo Short and his Passport MLM.

Ty Tribble has no Shame?

2006-04-29T08:54:00.000-07:00

Ty Tribble is at it again, using his blog to make himself look legitimate in the eyes of his readers. Ty has come to believe that though “you can’t fool all the people all the time,” the ex-Passport minions may be the exception to this rule. For example, now Ty is trying to convince everyone that staying at home while his wife is out working is an honorable thing to do. Qrush says, “Shame on you Ty.”

Ty plagiarized an article from the WNDU-16 website that tells the story of both a computer specialist and an attorney who started working out of their homes in order to be nearer to their kids. Somehow Ty hopes his readers will conclude that if it’s ok for these two guys to work out of the house, it must be ok for Ty to be at home all day. Qrush hopes that Ty’s readers will see through this sham and realize that Ty is comparing apples to oranges here. The gentlemen from the WNDU-16 article still have legitimate jobs and earn respectable salaries whereas Ty is at home because he either doesn’t want or can’t get a job. He is simply lying around the house, posting on his blog, selling junk on eBay, while Mom is at work. No kidding gang. Ty even brags about being an eBay Power Seller.

Qrush thinks Ty should find another mentor other than Bo Short. Try taking advice for a change from someone with some past success. In the meantime Qrush will offer these jobs that Qrush believes Ty is currently qualified to do.

1. Domino’s pizza delivery boy. Even your friend Brian Johnson, a.k.a. MLMDoJo, wasn’t too proud to deliver pizzas after his Passport debacle.

2. Starbucks counter helper. There are lots of Starbucks in your home state of Washington and Qrush says, “If a high school student can handle the job, you can too Ty.”

3. Find another failing company like you did with Passport and become their C.E.O. patsy so they have someone to blame when they close the doors. You have experience in this area and they will probably let you work out of the house.

Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on Qrush’s observations of the pitiful behavior of Ty Tribble. Qrush is having lots of fun exposing the truth about nimrods Ty Tribble and Bo Short and knows Qrush has them on the run.

Is Ty Tribble Passport's "Lee Harvey Oswald"?

2006-04-22T14:22:00.000-07:00

Was Ty Tribble turned into a patsy by Bo Short regarding Passport’s demise or is Ty Tribble simply an incompetent leader? Ty Tribble was appointed President of Passport effective February 1, 2005, but less than a year later Bo is writing letters to his Passport Associates saying, “Since its launch, Passport has shown a profit each month,” but that he and Ty and Dave Stone (Passport’s Executive Vice President) had decided to shut down Passport, or as Bo put it, “partner with Marshall Douglas.” Marshall is a Vice Chairman of an MLM out of Washington.

So if Ty Tribble took over as Passport’s President and Passport was making a profit, what went wrong? Qrush’s contention is that Bo Short was simply looking for a patsy, or a fall-guy, so that when Passport went belly-up, it wouldn’t look like another pathetic Bo Short failure.

Qrush says, “Just look at Ty’s business experience, or lack thereof.” Since Ty’s graduation from Evergreen High School in 1988 (18 years ago), his entire business background is that he signed up in the MLM industry as an IBO in 1992, quit to join Passport as an Associate a few years ago, runs a few network marketing blogs, and now brags about being an eBay Power Seller. So Qrush wants to know how the last 18 years of Ty’s life has prepared him to take over as President of an MLM? Was Ty qualified for this job? Of course not. Being a Passport Associate no more qualified Ty for the President’s job at Passport any more than Qrush’s neighbor lady, who sells Avon, is qualified for the top job at Avon. The simple truth is that Bo Short knew Passport was about to go under and needed a patsy to take the blame. Why else would Bo turn over his company to someone so obviously unqualified for the job?

AS a side note, Qrush thinks Ty has certainly paced himself since High School. Qrush challenges his readers to the following exercise. How long would it take you to join 3 MLMs, quit 2 MLMs, open a few blog accounts, and then open an eBay account? For Ty Tribble, the answer is 18 years, and this was without crowding his schedule with silly activities like college classes or a J-O-B.

So what are Ty’s current goals? Ty says he wants to build a profitable MLM business and he has set a goal to help over 100 people earn over $1,000 a month in 2006, all while putting in a full time effort as an eBay Power Seller. Qrush thinks it’s a good thing Ty is a “stay at home dad,” but with Ty's new agressive, and most likely for Ty, unreachable goals, advises Ty not to go back to bed after the kids leave for school.

The above statements and comments are based on Qrush’s opinions from years of watching Bo Short try in vain to make something useful out of his pitiful life. Qrush over and out.

What's wrong with Bo Short & Scott Larsen?

2006-04-17T05:41:00.000-07:00

Bo Short and Scott Larsen are the king parasites marketers in Bo’s masterless machinations. Bo is now a full time anonymous blogger updating multiple sites and Scott Larsen spends most of his time getting spanked. Can anyone tell Qrush what is up with Scott Larsen? Scott attacks Jody Victor, then apologizes, then attacks again, and now retracts all of his second attack? Is Scott Larsen schizophrenic? Is this another case of Me, Myself, and Irene? Scott Larsen is acting like a scared little child, not the big time consumer advocate he “claims” to be. Bo Short is acting like a desperate nearly broken man, not the big time MLM expert he “claims” to be. Qrush warned Bo about his association with Scott, but he didn’t listen. What a pathetic waste of two lives in Qrush’s opinion. I have an idea for both of our two schmucks. Why not quit bashing others, since it seems you spend a lot of time posting articles, only to take them down a week later? Maybe you could use your saved time and go do something productive with your lives. Qrush will reveal some great news shortly and Bo Short will be exposed. Bo Short had the opportunity, motive and time to do this heinous move and now all Qrush needs is a confirmation. Qrush believes that Bo Short’s bluff hand will be called and we will see what a big man he is. :) Why would an alleged man of character develop a website specifically to bash a competitor? Is this the type of man anyone would wish to be in business with? Is this really Quixtar negative when it is all written by a competitor wishing to benefit by the trash spewed? Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on Qrush’s opinions and years of research. Qrush is seeking the truth on why two allegedly grown men would act in such a childish fashion for so long. Qrush has the two nimrods on the run and will seal the deal shortly.

Bo Short, Joe Markiewicz & Anonymous Bloggers?

2006-04-13T05:39:00.000-07:00

Qrush continues to laugh at the plummeting career of Bo Short. Bo went from the image of being a speaker, author, and diamond to a (Scott Larsen and Coy Barefoot) trained slanderer, libeler, anonymous blogger, and former diamond. Bo Short’s career is hitting rock bottom in his latest attempt to steal IBO’s from Quixtar. Bo Short is actually writing anonymous blog post and is now attacking Joe Markiewicz. Joe Markiewicz is the rising star of Quixtar and has achieved the prestigious Double Diamond level. Joe and his family are celebrating their Double Diamond day at Quixtar while Bo Short hides away and attacks the character and integrity of a known winner. Bo Short is a “Former” everything and Joe Markiewicz is a double diamond. Just a little common sense will tell you who you should listen to. Bo Short went on Dateline and accused Quixtar of hurting him. (Sniff, sniff) Joe Markiewicz was featured on Dateline and said this opportunity would help people make millions and it does. Joe said that neither Dateline nor the negative internet would stop anyone with a real dream from achieving success and it didn’t. Bo Short stated he had a better business that would revolutionize the MLM field and pass Quixtar and it didn’t. (It didn’t even hit the sales totals of most children’s lemonade stands :)

Qrush’s money is on the proven winner not the proven whiner. Bo is a failed MLM’er who won’t be invited back on Dateline and Joe is a successful leader invited to Quixtar’s corporate home in ADA. Thank you, Joe, Mike, Larry, Paul, Bill, Dexter, and for proving that real success is out there in a real business. Thank you, Bo Short for providing an example of the horrendous effects of jealousy and malice on a person’s character. Bo, Qrush forwarded all of the condemning information to both the Quixtar legal staff and IBOAI, so Qrush would advise you stop your egregious behavior against Quixtar leaders. Maybe one of them will wake up to your intolerable parasite marketing methods. Ponder these points well. Nighty night Bo. Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on my opinions and emails from former Bo Short friends who are tired of his charades. Qrush believes their may be a sliver of conscience (the feeling Bo gets when he finds out Qrush is watching him:) left in Bo and is patiently waiting for Bo Short to come to his senses. Qrush’s patience does have limits.

Coy Barefoot, Quixtar & Lies?

2006-04-11T19:49:00.000-07:00

Qrush would like to thank the informants giving the inside goods on Coy Barefoot. What a shame that Bo Short doesn't know when his goose is cooked. Bo Short, all you have to do is quit your skullduggery and parasite marketing on Quixtar and Qrush will protect your family secrets. You may have fooled Quixtar and you may have fooled the IBOAI, but you haven't fooled Qrush. Qrush is giving you your final warning before all @$#@#% breaks loose. Sleep well. Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on information gathered from my growing fan club. They are intended to help pull the curtain back on an angry, confused, immature MLM bad boy and help him to help himself.

Alleged Quixtar Blog Post Ty Tribble Ads?

2006-04-08T09:21:00.000-07:00

Qrush has an interesting question to ask the Bo Short lover who runs the site Qblog. Why do you always post positive articles on Bo Short’s Passport? (Passport is a failed MLM) Why didn’t you write a detailed analysis as to why the Passport business failed? (Like: Awful products, Incompetent Leadership, Ignorant Training, Victim Thinking Associates, etc.) Why do you constantly praise and promote Bo Short a six time MLM failure? Qrush will review just one of many such examples of the biased behavior from alleged neutral Qblog. Qblog posted this advertisement run by Ty Tribble. Ty Tribble is a former non-platinum in Amway and has never achieved anything in life worth talking about and so he makes up his own press releases. What is worse than Ty’s fake press release is Qblog’s post about the fake press release. Qrush has rewritten the article to represent a satirical look at the real facts for Ty and Qblog and Bo Short. Passport did fail, Ty did fail again also, Qblog is biased for Passport and Bo Short (Peter Pan Man) did exit the field and run to another network, never accepting blame for any of his or his businesses many shortcomings. Qrush’s satire is in red.

According to Ty Tribble, CEO of Tribble.org
From Market Wire: Former Quixtar Business Owners Change Approach to Network Marketing
What do high priced products, leaving home 3 or 4 nights a week, expensive training, and time-consuming meetings have in common? According to Ty Tribble, CEO of Tribble.org, "Everything that is wrong with network marketing."

Qrush for Ty Tribble: What do low quality garbage products, writing post for multiple blogs 7 days a week, ignorant worthless training, and time-consuming Quixtar bashing have in common? According to Ty Tribble, former fake CEO of now defunct Passport, “Everything that was wrong with Bo Short’s pitiable Passport fantasy”

Tribble learned the down side of network marketing the hard way, as a Quixtar independent business owner (IBO). He says, "All I knew about it was what I heard from my Quixtar sponsor. He had a very nice home, luxury cars, and traveled around the world. It just seemed reasonable that if I listened to him and worked hard, I would have those things too." But it didn't work out that way for Tribble -- or for many other Quixtar IBOs.

Qrush for Ty Tribble: Tribble learned the down side of being in business with MLM Bad Boy Bo Short the hard way, as one of the few suckers stupid enough to believe Bo Short’s rhetoric. Ty says, “All I knew of Bo Short’s alleged success I learned from Bo Short. He was selling his home, sending his wife off to work, and talking about how his daddy traveled the world. It just seemed reasonable that if I just listened to Bo Short and played victim like he does that I could attract the attention of a TV show or at least a 40 year old virgin like Scott Larsen to do a write up on me too. But it didn’t work out that way for Tribble – or for any other stupid schmucks Bo Short scammed into Passport. Passport closed its door and Bo Short ran to another venture claiming former status for the sixth time.

------------Qblog's Comments on Ad-----------------
My thoughts on the Market Wire press release:I saw the above "article" on Google News (which does NOT take money to post links to my knowledge) earlier today and thought it was very curious. I have a habit of posting curious links related to Quixtar (either directly or indirectly) and this was no exception. Time constraints prohibited me from adding my own comments to the initial post until now.

Qrush for Qblog: I wanted to get my buddy’s (Ty Tribble’s) ad up as soon as possible and now will give my comments in an attempt to look neutral. I have a habit of posting Quixtar information and anything positive I can find on Passport. (Which isn’t much considering they are a failed enterprise, but since it is all lies anyway I can always make stuff up. :)

I have a very good understanding of news and the news business and my attitude towards press releases is that they're a necessary evil. While most press releases are just pure pabulum, some do convey useful information like announcing a new product, scientific discovery or newsworthy event. I'll let you decide the value of Ty Tribble's press release.

Qrush for Qblog: I like to represent myself as a reporter when actually I am paid by Bo Short to represent his pitiable business interest. Since Bo Short’s daddy was in politics, Bo learned to bash his opponents and carried this practice into all of his failed businesses. I am Bo’s hired gun to charade as a neutral commentator and fill people with negative on Quixtar and positive on Passport or any other failed business Bo attempts.

There are three reasons this particular press release caught my attention:
1.It was published the same day that an air date for the Dateline NBC story on Quixtar was unofficially announced.
2. It contained no real new information and had little actual news value.
3. It stated that Ty Tribble is the CEO of Tribble.org.

Qrush for Qblog: There are three reasons this particular press release caught my attention:
1. It was published by my boss’s associate in timing with the Dateline Joke.
2. It contained no real new information and had little news value, but I posted on it because my boss Bo told me too.
3. It stated that Ty Tribble is the CEO of Tribble.org. He can call himself the pope for all I friggin care as long as his check is good.

The third reason is the one that was most perplexing to me. From all appearances Tribble.org is simply a Passport site. I've been told that Tribble.org is much more than that but I find no evidence supporting that notion. Interestingly, one of Passport's primary selling points is that there are no titles. Bo Short states on his own Web site:

Qrush for Qblog: The third reason is the one most perplexing to me. How can Ty Tribble go from construction worker, failed Amway distributor, Starbucks coffee groupie, and stay at home dad (while mommy brings home the bacon :) to CEO? This is the magic of the internet where any failure with a couple of finger pecks can change his title, but not his comical results in life. Interestingly, one of Passport’s primary selling points is that there are no titles except Bo Short the Former ______ (Take your pick, there are so many choices here. :) Bo Short states some verbiage on his own website and I am forced to publish it here since he is the boss:

As an author on books about leadership I have been struck by something very interesting while interviewing great leaders; the more confident they are in their ability, the less concerned they are with titles. I believe that many people in this industry that achieve so-called pin-levels, while hard-workers, are not necessarily leaders. Each of our teammates are called Independent Associates. A leader should be allowed to make an impact immediately, even if they do not wear a fancy title. If it is your business your voice should be heard.

Qrush for Bo Short: As an author on books about leadership (I have to write about leadership since I have failed to actually lead anyone besides to the poor house) I have been struck by something very interesting while talking to leaders; the more confident they are in their ability, the less concerned with titles like Former _____ they are. I believe that people who achieve former after everything they ever do are not leaders but pretenders and I can speak about this first hand. Each of my former Passport teammates are called independent meat for my well oiled grinder. A leader should be allowed to make an impact immediately and when I took over Passport my impact was felt in just over 2 years when we closed Passport’s doors for good. If it is your business and you sign up with six time MLM failure like me, then your voice should be heard because I have been proven incompetent in business?

Now, CEO seems like a title to me. In fact, of all the titles you can get in a company CEO is about the most impressive sounding title I can think of besides maybe Chairman of the Board, Founder or Supreme Commander. So, I ask the question, is Tribble.org a Passport site? And if it is, then why does Ty get to sidestep the whole "no titles" thing and be a CEO?

Qrush for Qblog: Now, CEO seems like a title to me and so does former diamond. My boss Bo Short has the gall to call himself a former Quixtar diamond even though he never qualified diamond in Quixtar and only once in Amway. (Now that is character and integrity that sets Bo Short apart :) In fact, of all the titles you can get in a company CEO is about the most impressive sounding title I can think of besides maybe Chairman of the Board or Former Country Singer, Limo Driver, Diamond etc. Ty Tribble believes that if he is going to fake something he is going to fake it all the way. So I ask the question, is Tribble.org a Passport site? And if it is, then why does Ty get to sidestep the whole “no titles” thing and be a CEO? I mean I called Bo Short and he told me I had to stay Qblog and I am peed off. I am better than Ty Tribble, that numnuts &^*&%%^$&*.

Now, I guess the explanation is that Tribble.org is not ONLY Passport but much, much more. And, if Ty owns this business (which happens to be tied to Passport in some way) then he can give himself any title he damn well pleases, and this is absolutely correct. When you break it all down, there's nothing wrong with Ty being the CEO of Tribble.org (and I never said it was wrong). Hell, Bo Short is the CEO of Passport, the company that doesn't have titles. There's just something about that whole press release that doesn't sit well with me. Maybe my personal dislike of press releases in general is coloring my perceptions? There's just something in my gut that says, "This is just an effort to create some type of status" (though my gut is often wrong, that pizza I had for dinner is reminding me of that fact). I really can't put my finger on it but if I were writing that press release (God forbid I ever write one) I think I'd have ditched the CEO references and said something like "a highly successful Passport Associate." That gets across the truth (as reported by Ty), is impressive and yet does not incorporate a title.

Qrush for Qblog: Now, I guess the explanation for this whole post is that I need my paycheck so bad that I am willing to post this pabulum for my money. Ty is a loser regardless of what title he has and Bo Short is a sorry pimp no matter what title he fabricates also. There is just something in my gut that tells me that Ty Tribble and Bo Short are going to be eating a lot of crow in another year after their business derails and I am going to look like an arse for supporting them on my blog post.

Anyway, I'm just sharing my personal reactions. I wish I could do a better job explaining this but I can't. Sometimes I just have a hard time putting my thoughts and emotions into words. I hope you can understand.

Qrush for Qblog: Anyway, I’m just doing what the boss says and can’t help but having my real feelings leak out. Sometimes I wonder if working with Bo Short was the biggest mistake of my life. Quixtar IBO’s, I hope you understand this is nothing personal, but all about the money. Hell, I would laugh at Bo Short and Ty Tribble’s shenanigans too if I weren’t a paid stooge for these morons. I mean how many times will these guys fabricate stories only to be proven entirely wrong before they realize they are beaten by their own lies. :)

There you have the rest of the story on Qblog, Bo Short and Ty Tribble. Qrush will be revealing more of the parasite marketer’s schemes in the following weeks. Is anyone curious as to the real identity of Qblog? Qblog is posting on more than one blog and Qrush knows who and why. Even better, Bo Short and Scott Larsen know that Qrush knows. :) Qrush over and out.

The above statements and opinions are satire. They are meant to represent Qrush’s opinions and known facts in a humorous way to display to these parasite bozos that the world is laughing at their egregious behavior. What clowns Ty, Bo and Scott are. :)

Parasite Marketers Attack WorldWide Dream Builders?

2006-03-29T12:20:00.000-07:00

Qrush is reviewing some of the parasite marketer’s latest pitiable work on Wiki. Why are known competitors and lying critics allowed to write and edit articles where they are obviously biased? Qrush chose to study WWDB out of all the Quixtar groups because Scott Larsen and Bo Short seem to have a special love hate relationship with this business group. Why do the parasite marketers hate WWDB so much? Is it because WWDB is led by individuals with Christian character and leadership that don’t quit an enterprise every two years? Ron Puryear (Most Respected Leader in Quixtar) and Greg Duncan (of Incredible Edibles fame) are two of the best leaders in the whole Quixtar business and Bo & Scott can’t stand any Quixtar success story. The parasite marketers have even resorted to attacking younger diamonds in WWDB in an attempted maneuver to boost the parasites sagging morale, manhood and sales. What does Scott Larsen (the poster child for the 40 year old virgin) know about relationships to get off talking about someone else’s divorce? What does Bo Short (the poster child for the Peter Pan Man) know about business to comment on WWDB’s business success? Scott is a 40+ year old non-married moron and Bo Short is a 40+ year old business “has been” or actually “has never.” WWDB’s Wiki article is posted with Qrush’s factual comments of WWDB in red.

WorldWide Dream Builders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
WorldWide Dream Builders (WWDB) is a professional development group, associated with Quixtar and Amway, which are owned by Alticor, Inc. WWDB claims that it has a "System for Success" for Quixtar, allowing you to earn an income of $250,000 or greater, in 2-5 years, working 10-15 hours a week.

WorldWide Dream Builders (WWDB) is the largest and one of the fastest growing groups associated with Quixtar. WWDB’s business support system is a “System for Success” for Quixtar and allows you to earn an income of $250,000 or greater, in 2-5 years, by following the pattern. During the same time period that Bo Short failed four times, Dean Kosage and Brad Wolgamott went to diamond and beyond. No wonder Bo and Scott are leading a parasite marketing campaign against them and have now stooped to using Wiki as a cover for their heinous activities.

The System
The System is defined as a program of books, tapes, and seminars that one can attend that are supposed to equip you with the necessary training to build a profitable Quixtar Independent Business. It is separate from the Quixtar Business opportunity.

The System
The System is defined as a training program of books, tapes, and seminars that you can attend to be equipped for building a profitable Quixtar business. Only someone that is clueless when it comes to business (Bo Short and Scott Larsen) would actually think you could build a business from scratch with no training. John Maxwell says, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” Bo Short’s pitiable life is an excellent refresher course for someone who is thinking leadership does not matter. Training is necessary in any activity and the real question is does it work? WWDB and their training program have produced more diamonds than any other training system in North America in the last ten years.

There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the "Amway/Quixtar Motivational Organizations" (AMOs or AQMOs) owned and operated by high-level distributors. Quixtar and the AMOs claim that the business skills of IBOs are honed by the business support materials, or "tools," that are sold by the motivational organizations, and that the support material can be of help to an IBO who wants to build a big business. Furthermore, during the registration process, IBOs are required to accept an agreement that is intended to make the new distributor aware that the business support materials - books, tapes, CDs, informational literature, seminars, etc. - are purely optional and that requires the above-mentioned AMO/AQMO's (also known as LOA, or Line Of Affiliation) to buy back any defective or unwanted business support materials within a reasonable time frame.

There is no controversy surrounding the (QMOs) and the only news here is how many fake websites can Scott, Bo and his band of midget men operate? A few deviant individuals running 20 sites is not the same as 20 different individuals running one site each. Intelligent IBO’s will seek out training and believe in learning from successful leaders, like Brad Duncan (Founders Crown), for their business information. All people joining WWDB sign a BSMAA form that discloses system profits and expenses. There is no secret story and Bo and Scott know it. They continue to play this chord, even though it does not exist, in a pathetic effort to create distrust in the WWDB leadership. You have a choice when reading Wiki to believe a website where anyone can comment or believe proven leaders with a proven track record. What is Bo Short’s track record? Bo has failed almost as many times as a cat has lives. Bo should sign up in WWDB and get mentorship from Ron Puryear to learn the meaning of character. If Bo doesn’t like WWDB then others groups may choose to help him and treat him as the prodigal son in forgiving his MLM Bad Boy behavior.

Critics, however, charge that many of the AQMOs do not provide reasonable terms for refunds and can exert pressure to induce participants into purchasing large amounts of these business support materials and to attend costly motivational seminars. The sale of the motivational tools to IBOs down the line is described as the "business within the business" of Quixtar from which the high-level distributors are said to make the majority of their income. Undercover investigations (like one done by MSNBC Dateline in 2003-04) also suggest that most the money being earned by the top-level distributors was coming from the hidden "tools" business rather than through selling the products of Quixtar. Though Quixtar representatives declined to appear on the MSNBC special, the company did publish an official "Quixtar Response" website.

Bo and Scott allege that many AQMOs do not provide reasonable terms for refunds. They allege this in an attempt to create controversy to benefit them in their parasite marketing campaign. WWDB has been open and honest with where the money is made and has no issue with stating platinums, emeralds, diamonds, etc. can profit for building the WWDB business model. What is “hidden” with the system incomes? Every IBO signs a disclaimer which discloses this potential profit source. If you don’t like it, then don’t join. Whatever you do, don’t play the part of a victim when you know the facts. This is another example of Bo Short’s and Scott Larsen’s dishonest Wiki articles.

Information Control
The WorldWide Dreambuilders System claims to provide a system for success. Information is specially filtered, sorted, and delivered to IBO's through a subscription to the World Wide Group. This comes in the form of tapes or CDs, books, and seminars. The information contained therein strongly discourages members of WorldWide Dream Builders from obtaining information outside of their "upline" mentors, as it "could be inaccurate".

WWDB system provides a system for success. Every successful enterprise develops a system for delivering the proper information to its organization. This is not information control, but quality control. Anyone in WWDB has the choice of where to get their information. They can choose to get it from winners like Ron Puryear, Greg Duncan etc. or from losers like Bo Short and Scott Larsen. Each IBO will live with the quality of the choices they make. Scott Larsen has been “busted” on at least two occasions for outright lies and cannot be considered a viable source for information. This is why he has now resorted to Wiki since this allows him to remain anonymous.

Eric Schiebeler, a former Emerald IBO and author of Merchants of Deception, believes WWDB (and other associated Amway / Quixtar motivational organizations) are systems in which slow processes of thought reform take place. WWDB claims this is not the case.

Eric Schiebler, was never part of WWDB and has no clue or concept of how the WWDB training system is run. How can someone who has never been part of WWDB’s training system comment on the performance and quality of the results? Compare the results of the achievers in WWDB to the results of the critics and you determine who to listen to.

In any event, Quixtar "triple diamond" Greg Duncan has also sought to control information. In October 2004, at a conference held by WorldWide Dream Builders, called "Free Enterprise Days" in Portland, Oregon, Greg Duncan announced from stage that Quixtar, with the help of WorldWide Dream Builders quote, "we have hired our own geeks to drown out the negative information on the web...so when someone types in Quixtar, they see only the information we want them to see." This action was known as Quixtar's "Web Reputation Task force" and was exposed by a blogger by the name of Qblog, aka Eric Janssen.

In October 2004, at a conference held by WWDB called “Free Enterprise Days” in Portland, Oregon, Greg Duncan announce from stage that Quixtar, with the help of WWDB would develop a plan to share “the facts on the Quixtar opportunity.” The actual quote was, “we have hired our own propeller head geeks, to tell the truth on the Quixtar opportunity and drown out the negative lies on the web with the facts.” The false and misleading alleged information control came from a site that allegedly is run by Eric Janssen, but Qrush has learned the rest of the story to be revealed at a later date. Qrush has exposed the new Wiki strategy of the critics in my case building against the crimes, deviancy and deceit of our parasite pair.

Qrush will continue to expose Bo Short and Scott Larsen in my future post. I have given both of the immoral bozo’s ample time to repent from their deviant blogging deeds. No repentance or explanation from Scott or Bo just leads Qrush to reveal more. Perhaps Bo and Scott ought to attempt a new strategy as your old strategy is so blatantly obvious. Even Quixtar and the IBOAI may figure out the real facts at this rate. :) Qrush believes you reap what you sow in life and Bo and Scott are reaping the whirlwind. Qrush over and out.

The above comments and statements are based on my opinions and the strange behavior of two “has never” people. The secret lives of these two miscreants will be advertised to the whole world. Qrush believes being “MLM Bad Boys” never pays.

Bo Short Uses Peter Pan Man Child Scott Larsen?

2006-03-27T07:15:00.000-07:00

Qrush is asking his reader audience to vote for which of the two Peter Pan boys (Bo Short or Scott Larsen) best exemplifies the spirit of Peter Pan’s “Never grow up” attitude. The author’s article will be posted with Qrush’s satiric reinterpretation for Scott Larsen’s behavior in blue. Qrush comments as always will be in red.

Adult Immaturity: The Peter Pan syndrome
By Grace MacDowellTuesday, January 3, 2006 9:29 AM EST
“I'm eighteen now. I'm an adult, and I don't need you or anyone else telling me what to do!”

Scott Larsen Evaluation: “I’m a 40+ year old virgin and I don’t need you or anyone else telling me what to do! I am holding down a steady job finally after a couple of failed attempts in business so leave me alone.”

Scott Larsen is a middle aged failure that hooked up with Bo Short in a pitiful attempt to buy some much needed credibility. Bo Short turned out to be the original MLM Bad Boy failure and the only person with a worse failure record than Scott Larsen.

I'm sure that many a parent, teacher, or other authority figure has heard this declaration, all the while knowing full-well that the teen may be legally an adult, but is exhibiting far from sufficient maturity to act like an adult.

Scott Larsen Evaluation: Everyone in the Quixtar community both pros and cons have heard Scott’s declaration, all the while knowing full-well that the man child Scott Larsen may be legally an adult, but is exhibiting far from sufficient maturity to act like an adult. Scott throws tirades over the smallest issues and heaps his vituperation against anyone acting responsible in life.

Scott Larsen is a spoiled man child who imagines himself as a consumer advocate and actually is a lying man child.

Physiologically, the human brain is not ready for truly mature behavior until about age 25. Recent neuropsychological research strongly suggests that the frontal cortex, where we make decisions and control our emotions and impulses, is not fully developed until that age. While the potential for mature behavior then exists (the “nature,” or genetic part of the human development equation), the ability to act in such a fashion is grossly shaped by environmental influences (the “nurture” part of the equation that comes from interpersonal interactions).

Scott Larsen Evaluation: Physiologically, Scott Larsen’s brain will not truly mature behavior until he settles down in a normal long term relationship, gets married and has children. Recent neuropsychological research strongly suggests that the frontal cortex, where Scott makes decisions and controls his emotions and impulses, is in Scott Larsen’s brain incapable of dating the opposite sex. Scott Larsen’s growth has been delayed due to lack of experience with members of the opposite sex. While the potential for mature behavior possibly exist in Scott Larsen, the ability to act in such a fashion is grossly shaped by his poor associations of Bo Short, Ty Tribble and Qblog.

Scott is physically and adult, but has mentally never grown up. Scott adult adolescence is caused by never taking responsibility for anything in his life. Scott claims to have never been at fault in any situation and blames others for every pathetic situation he gets himself into. Scott has never maintained a steady relationship because no one can stand being with him longer than 15 minutes.

Unfortunately, too many chronologically older adults haven't “grown up” either, thus doing a poor job of preparing the next generation. These adults want all the power, but little or none of the responsibility, deep sacrifice, and moral structure that are a part of mature adulthood.

Scott Larsen Evaluation: Unfortunately for successful Quixtar leaders, too many man child Scott Larsen types (40 year old virgins) haven’t grown up either, thus doing a poor job of representing the facts on Quixtar and preparing the next generation of winners. Scott Larsen wants all the power, but little or none of the responsibility, deep sacrifice, and moral structure that are a part of mature adulthood.

Scott Larsen has helped no one else because he is incapable of helping himself.

Immature adults more often employ concrete thinking and reasoning. They are quick to demand that boundaries be held for others, but not for them.

Scott Larsen Evaluation: Scott Larsen often employs faulty concrete thinking and reasoning. Scott is quick to demand that boundaries be held for others, but not for himself. Scott believes it perfectly acceptable to accuse any diamond of nefarious crimes, but can’t handle a little good natured ribbing over his lack of manhood.

Scott is very sensitive over his 40+ year virgin status. Some claim he is anything but a virgin, but Scott demands these false boundaries for his own life even though he does not respect them for others.

Like Peter Pan, they break societal folkways or even law to serve their own purposes, with little regard for the feelings and rights of others. They have little integrity, cutting as many corners on quantity or quality of work done as they possibly can, often using a sense of entitlement to justify their behaviors.

Scott Larsen Evaluation: Like Peter Pan, Scott Larsen breaks societal folkways or even law to serve his own purposes, with little regard for the feelings and rights of others. Scott has little personal integrity and cuts as many corners on quantity or quality of work done as he possibly can, often using a sense of entitlement to justify his behaviors.

Scott will lie, cheat, and steal from others if he feels it will benefit him or his cause.

Oh, they can be gallant at times, and even take up moral causes, but there is always an element of selfishness to their behaviors. They always seek some sort of reward, such as societal status, power, or recognition.

Scott Larsen: Scott can play the gallant man child, and even pretend a moral cause, but there is always an element of selfishness to his behaviors. Scott always seeks some sort of reward, such as societal status, power, recognition or paypal funds.

Scott plays the role of concerned protector, but flies off the handle at anyone who does not believe and do exactly as he says.

When things go wrong, though, they are the first to blame others. This “external locus of control” leads them to shirk responsibility and accountability. Thus, they are quick to manipulate facts and people, saying that the world has done them wrong. However, they are never truly at peace with themselves.

Scott Larsen Evaluation: When things go wrong for Scott, though, he is the first to blame others. Scott’s “external locus of control” leads him to shirk responsibility and accountability. Thus, Scott is quick to manipulate facts and people, saying that that Quixtar has ruined the world. However, Scott is never truly at peace with himself, knowing that at any time someone might find out about his total deception of the Quixtar crowd.

Scott is a master manipulator and forgets the truth himself as he lies so much that he believes them too. Scott is a sick man child who needs psychological help.

Mature behavior, on the other hand, requires the ability to think in an abstract fashion. This takes an ability to comprehend nuances of meaning and to creatively apply principles. It also needs the ability to envision long-range goals, and to use good planning and sequencing skills.

Scott Larsen: Mature behavior, on the other hand, requires the ability to think in an abstract fashion. This takes an ability to comprehend nuances of meaning and to creatively apply principles which is not Scott’s forte. It also needs the ability to envision long-range goals and to use good planning and sequencing skills which Scott Larsen is completely ignorant of.

Scott has no long range goals besides the destruction of Quixtar and any conservative movement. Scott has ruined his life over the last ten years in a hopeless cause. Scott is filled with hate and has lost the ability to comprehend general reasoning.

Mature behavior demands the ability to take other perspectives on a matter, and to weigh all information and possible consequences #) good and bad #) before taking any action. Mature behavior requires a commitment to doing what is right for right's sake, not because it will keep some authority off your back.

Scott Larsen: Mature behavior demands the ability to see the pros and cons on Quixtar, and to weigh all information and possible consequences before jumping to ridiculous conclusions. Mature behavior requires a commitment to doing what is right for right’s sake (like apologizing for all your lies), not because you are scared or to keep out of numerous lawsuits.

Scott Larsen is not interested in improving Quixtar for new members, but in destroying it. Scott wishes to destroy Quixtar because it is a constant reminder of one of his many failures and supports a lifestyle choice that he loathes.

Mature behavior requires the ability and willingness to truly sacrifice for others when the need arises. By the way, it's not truly sacrifice if the giver doesn't set aside personal desires, even needs at times, for the sake of others without any expectation of reward or comeback.

Scott Larsen: Mature behavior requires the ability and willingness to get married and truly sacrifice for a family when the need arises. By the way, it’s not truly sacrifice if you don’t set aside personal desires, even needs at times, for the sake of others without any expectation of personal glory.

Will Scott Larsen ever get married? Who will carry on his worthless cause if he does not have any children? Scott is too busy satisfying immediate personal desires to think about a family and children.

When things go wrong, there is an “internal locus of control” that demands the acceptance of responsibility and the willingness to be fully accountable. The mature person will look inward for the reasons for the failure. This introspection process then leads to personal growth, fewer failures in the future, and psychological peace.

Scott Larsen: When things go wrong, there is an “internal locus of control” that demands the acceptance of responsibility for your numerous failures as a consultant, stock broker and Quixtar expert. The mature person will look inward for the reasons for the failure and not blame successful Quixtar leaders. This introspection process then leads to personal growth, fewer failures in the future, and psychological peace.

Scott will never accept responsibility and that is why he is stuck as a man child and is broke after 40+ years of living. Scott lack of maturity has frozen his results in life to beginning level and he takes out his frustrations on Quixtar. Quixtar leaders represent everything Scott hates: success, recognition, respect, responsibility, families, children, and teamwork.

Quixtar Qrush has analyzed both of our Peter Pan boys. Now it is up to the reader audience to vote on which is the most pathetic Peter Pan clone. Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are satire and meant to be funny. Any resemblance of Scott’s life to Peter Pan is mere coincidence as Scott has never been off the internet long enough to actually watch the movie. All of the above is Qrush’s personal opinion. I sure love free speech.

Bo Short & The Peter Pan Man?

2006-03-20T09:48:00.000-07:00

Qrush has received numerous emails asking me to expand on the Peter Pan principle and Qrush has decided to analyze Bo Short and his perceived Peter Pan Syndrome. Qrush found a relevant article by doing some research to help my reader audience understand Bo’s mental state better. This article is from an expert in her chosen field (finishing her doctorate) and you would think she wrote this article with Bo Short and Scott Larsen in mind. Qrush will do Scott Larsen next and is asking his reader audience to vote for which of the two Peter Pan boys best exemplify the spirit of Peter Pan’s “Never grow up” attitude. The author’s article will be posted with Qrush’s satiric reinterpretation of article for Bo Short’s specific behavior in blue. Qrush’s comments as always will be in red.

Adult Immaturity: The Peter Pan syndrome
By Grace MacDowell Tuesday, January 3, 2006 9:29 AM EST
“I'm eighteen now. I'm an adult, and I don't need you or anyone else telling me what to do!”

Bo Short Evaluation: “I’m 40+ year old failure and I don’t need anyone else telling me what to do next. I will start another MLM and start another website with former in front of it.”

Qrush: Bo Short refuses to recognize any authority figure in his life and refuses follow any of the basic rules of life and respectable character traits.

I'm sure that many a parent, teacher, or other authority figure has heard this declaration, all the while knowing full-well that the teen may be legally an adult, but is exhibiting far from sufficient maturity to act like an adult.

Bo Short Evaluation: I’m sure that many an upline, business partner, or other authority figure has heard Bo Short’s declaration, all the while knowing full-well that Bo may be legally an adult, but is exhibiting far from sufficient maturity to act like and adult.

Qrush: Bo’s refusal to admit any responsibility for his six time MLM failures is an embarrassment to all who know him. Bo may represent himself as an adult and leader, but anyone who analyzes the facts will quickly learn the truth. Bo has failed as a country music writer, limo driver, insurance sales, Amway, InterNet, ProNet, Quixtar, TIF, and Passport business man.

Physiologically, the human brain is not ready for truly mature behavior until about age 25. Recent neuropsychological research strongly suggests that the frontal cortex, where we make decisions and control our emotions and impulses, is not fully developed until that age. While the potential for mature behavior then exists (the “nature,” or genetic part of the human development equation), the ability to act in such a fashion is grossly shaped by environmental influences (the “nurture” part of the equation that comes from interpersonal interactions).

Bo Short Evaluation: Physiologically, Bo Short’s brain will not mature until he stops livings off his daddy’s income. Recent neuropsychological research strongly suggest that Bo’s dad has had enough of Bo’s former __________(fill in the blank) business games. Bo Short’s growth has been delayed due to lack of any true business experience on Bo Short’s part. While the potential for mature behavior exist (the “nature” or genetic part), the ability to act is grossly shaped by his fathers bailing him out of every painful ordeal Bo gets himself in to. (the “nurture” part of the equation comes from interpersonal interactions and Bo spends too much time on the internet to learn this.)

Qrush: Bo has never had to deal with the pain of failure. Any time he screws up (about every two years) his dad bails him out. Bo is severely lacking in character, honor and integrity due to never having been humbled by his numerous failures.

Unfortunately, too many chronologically older adults haven't “grown up” either, thus doing a poor job of preparing the next generation. These adults want all the power, but little or none of the responsibility, deep sacrifice, and moral structure that are a part of mature adulthood.

Bo Short Evaluation: Unfortunately for any business Bo Short is part of, too many chronic failures like Bo Short haven’t “grown up” either, thus doing a poor job of preparing the next generation for any responsible position. Bo Short wants all the power, but little or none of the responsibility, deep sacrifice, and moral structure that are part of mature adulthood. Bo loves the glory but as soon as a business starts to fail, he quickly identifies whom to blame and places a former next to his name and starts a new website.

Qrush: Name one person that Bo Short has helped to become successful? That’s right after two decades of striving for success himself, Bo and anyone who has ever been stupid enough to follow him have achieved not even a modest level of success. Bo wants all of the glory and is driven to quit anytime he runs into a challenge. When has Bo ever sacrificed in his life? How do all his ex-associates feel when he leaves them high and dry when he quits his various MLM enterprises?

Immature adults more often employ concrete thinking and reasoning. They are quick to demand that boundaries be held for others, but not for them.

Bo Short Evaluation: Bo Short often employs faulty concrete thinking and reasoning. Bo is quick to demand that boundaries be held for others, but not for himself. Bo believes it perfectly acceptable to blame everyone else for his six time failure track record in MLM and accept none of the blame personally.

Qrush: Bo Short has never developed or led any successful enterprise in his life. The only thing he is good at is convincing people temporarily that he has answers. After a few months around Bo everyone figures out that his is full of rhetoric and empty on results. Bo believes it is perfectly acceptable to attack others reputations, but acts with righteous indignation when his motives are questioned.

Like Peter Pan, they break societal folkways or even law to serve their own purposes, with little regard for the feelings and rights of others. They have little integrity, cutting as many corners on quantity or quality of work done as they possibly can, often using a sense of entitlement to justify their behaviors.

Bo Short Evaluation: Like Peter Pan, Bo Short breaks societal folkways or even law to serve his own purposes, with little regard for the feeling and rights of others. Bo has little integrity, cuts as many corners on quantity or quality of work done as he possibly can, often using a sense of entitlement to justify his behaviors.

Qrush: Bo will break any friendship, destroy his own character, and even lie about his former associates to gain an advantage. After six MLM failures the gig is up and no one is buying his BS anymore. Instead of exiting the field in shame, Bo Short increases his rhetoric and makes even more outlandish claims in a futile attempt to generate publicity for his failing enterprises.

Oh, they can be gallant at times, and even take up moral causes, but there is always an element of selfishness to their behaviors. They always seek some sort of reward, such as societal status, power, or recognition.

Bo Short Evaluation: Bo can play the part of the gallant savior, and even pretend a moral cause, but there is always an element of selfishness to his behaviors. Bo always seeks some sort of reward, such as societal status, power, recognition, or paying his mortgage.

Qrush: Bo plays the part of the gallant exposer of evils, when actually he is an opportunist extraordinaire who will stop at nothing to gain publicity. Bo stood for free training until that proved unsuccessful and now is back into a business with training investments. In Bo Short’s case principles change as soon as conditions change. :)

When things go wrong, though, they are the first to blame others. This “external locus of control” leads them to shirk responsibility and accountability. Thus, they are quick to manipulate facts and people, saying that the world has done them wrong. However, they are never truly at peace with themselves.

Bo Short Evaluation: When things go wrong, though, Bo is the first to blame others and jump ship. Bo’s “external locus of control” leads him to shirk responsibility and accountability. Thus, Bo is quick to manipulate facts and people, saying that the world has done him wrong. However, Bo is never truly at peace with how to blame over 9 career failures on everyone else.

Qrush: Bo is the original MLM Bad Boy and manipulates all of the facts to paint himself in good light and all of his former associates in a bad light. After six different MLM failures with different associates in every MLM, it would seem that Bo should attempt a new strategy. Qrush has an idea, how about go build your business and let the facts speak for themselves? :)

Mature behavior, on the other hand, requires the ability to think in an abstract fashion. This takes an ability to comprehend nuances of meaning and to creatively apply principles. It also needs the ability to envision long-range goals, and to use good planning and sequencing skills.

Bo Short’s Evaluation: Mature business behavior, on the other hand, requires the ability to think in an abstract fashion. This takes an ability to comprehend nuances of meaning and to creatively apply principles. It also needs the ability to envision long-range goals, and to use good planning and sequencing skill, which Bo never learns since he quits every business he starts after a couple of years.

Qrush: The only comprehension skills that Bo displays is a unique ability to quickly ascertain who is to blame and develop an exciting new story to tell online. Bo Short counts on his belief that a sucker is born every minute.

Mature behavior demands the ability to take other perspectives on a matter, and to weigh all information and possible consequences (good and bad) before taking any action. Mature behavior requires a commitment to doing what is right for right's sake, not because it will keep some authority off your back.

Bo Short’s Evaluation: Bo needs to learn that mature behavior demands the ability to take other perspectives on a matter, and to weigh all information and possible consequences (good and bad) before taking any action. Bo must learn that mature behavior requires a commitment to doing what is right for right’s sake, not because it will keep some authority of your back.

Qrush: Bo Short had a commitment to the hundreds of people who invested their hard earned money into Passport. Bo’s response when things were tough was to quit again and announce this with a pathetic email. How would you feel if you dedicated a couple of years of your life believing in Bo Short only to find out he is a perpetual quitter?

Mature behavior requires the ability and willingness to truly sacrifice for others when the need arises. By the way, it's not truly sacrifice if the giver doesn't set aside personal desires, even needs at times, for the sake of others without any expectation of reward or comeback.

Bo Short’s Evaluation: Bo must learn that mature behavior requires the ability and willingness to truly sacrifice for other and not just quit every business when it gets tough for him. By the way, it’s not truly sacrifice if Bo Short doesn’t set aside his personal agenda and desires, even needs at times, for the sake of others who believed in him. Bo Short does not sacrifice at all and does everything with an expectation of reward or comeback.

Qrush: Bo Short needs to quit advertising to the rest of the world his numerous failures and focus on one opportunity long enough to prove his many critics wrong. Who in their right mind would advertise themselves as a six time former anything and expect people to treat him credibly? Where is Bo Short's sense of shame?

When things go wrong, there is an “internal locus of control” that demands the acceptance of responsibility and the willingness to be fully accountable. The mature person will look inward for the reasons for the failure. This introspection process then leads to personal growth, fewer failures in the future, and psychological peace.

Bo Short’s Personal Evaluation: When thing go wrong for winners, there is an “internal locus of control” that demands the acceptance of responsibility and the willingness to be fully accountable. The mature person will look inward for the reasons for the failure, but Bo looks outward and blames all of his former associates in over 9 former enterprises. This introspection process leads to personal growth, fewer failures in the future, and psychological peace in a mature person. The lack of the introspection process in Bo Short leads to no personal growth, multiple failures in the future, and psychological unrest for Bo and his minions.

Qrush: Bo exhibits none of the characteristics of a mature person and is a model for the Peter Pan Man. If Bo Short were truly a man of integrity and character he ought to apologize to all the Passport associates he left high and dry and then apologize to the whole MLM industry for his nefarious activities. Bo Short has single handedly done more damage to the MLM industry by his parasite marketing, personal attacks on other leaders, multiple failures as a leader, and general lack of class, than any other group of leaders put together. It is time that the MLM industry rises up in unison and vomits this wasted life out of the public eye until he can prove he walks as well as he talks.

There you have Qrush’s Qrushing evaluation of Bo Short and his Peter Pan Man life. Qrush will finish my Scott Larsen Peter Pan profile and then get back to exposing the fraudulent activities of our two MLM bozos. Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on my opinions as I seek to understand why a six time MLM failure would advertise this pitiable condition. Qrush is merely seeking for the truth and appreciates freedom of speech in the USA.

Qrush's Readers Vote Scott Larsen 40+ Year Virgin?

2006-03-15T18:35:00.000-07:00

Qrush has tallied up the reader emails and is ready to release the reader polled results on why Scott Larsen attacks Quixtar. Qrush is still waiting for Scott Larsen to email his answers to the simple question Qrush asked of him. Why can’t this pitiable waste of a life answer the questions posed of him? After posing as a consumer advocate with a right for the public to know the truth all these years, it seems he would understand his responsibility to come clean. Is the right for the public to know only the right to know what Scott Larsen wants them to know? The public wants to know why Scott Larsen won’t answer the freaking questions. Here are the results of the reader poll.

The number one received answer with 71 votes is that Scott Larsen is a 40+ year old virgin with no experience in life and is mad at Quixtar because people are attempting to do something great. Scott is a virgin who has never attempted anything at all and castigates anyone in Quixtar due to his jealous rage at their courage and guts. Some have even claimed that Scott has never kissed a girl.
The number two received answer with 36 votes is that Scott Larsen is homosexual and has no clue about a man’s responsibilities to his family. Scott rails against this business because he does not understand faithful commitment to anyone or anything worthwhile. Scott’s minority lifestyle choices should not be the voice of the majority of the people who have responsibilities and promises to keep. Scott is upset that the founders of Amway are Godly, conservative, family oriented leaders and love the USA while Scott hates God, has a liberal lifestyle, hates the nuclear family, hates the USA and lives in Germany.
The number three received answer with 17 votes is that Scott Larsen is a Peter Pan man child who hates anyone who has grown up. Scott refuses to grow up and mocks anyone who endeavors to improve their life by building their own business. One emailer believes that Scott is a Peter Pan man child and alternative lifestyle combination, but only Scott would know the truth. Scott would you mind answering the questions so Qrush’s expanding audience can hear directly from you? Perhaps if the questions are too hard you can answer one a day until you are finished?

Quixtar Qrush will be doing another reader survey soon so keep the emails coming. Qrush is proud to be the rest of the story for the achievers in life who are sick and tired of the Bo Short and Scott Larsen charade. Qrush over and out.

The above comments and opinions are based on numerous emails of successful Quixtar IBO’s who love a good laugh and find plenty to laugh at in the lives of Bo Short and Scott Larsen. Qrush believes that the only cure for abuse of freedom of speech is more freedom of speech.

Bo Short & Scott Larsen's First Filthy Fraud

2006-03-13T07:59:00.000-07:00

The following is Qrush's satire and is meant to be funny while you learn. :)

Quixtar Qrush will begin my revelations of the fraudulent activities of Bo Short and Scott Larsen with this first piece of evidence. Qrush must build my case and end with the Qrushing expose'. My reader audience will enjoy this education of the fraudently thinking and actions of our two favorite MLM bad boys. Bo Short a six time failure in MLM companies (Amway, Internet, Pronet, TIF, Quixtar, and Passport) in a desperate attempt to boost sagging Passport sales (Passport later folded) sent this letter to Scott Larsen. This is the starting point of the "dishonorable duos" pact with the devil. Qrush will post Bo Short’s letter, Qrush’s satire of letter in blue and as always make Qrush’s comments on letter in red. Qrush loves the internet because you can find the history of these social misfits and all their unfulfilled promises to the fools who believed them.

Resigned Diamond - Bo Short
01/04/2003
Scott,
I received your email the other day and wanted to say hello. I also thought I would share some thoughts with you. I am writing to answer a couple of your questions. My only concern about this being published is that I am not looking to use this forum to promote my business and do not want it to appear so. Therefore, out of respect to the readers of your site, I would ask that you not mention the name of my company.

Scott,
I received your email the other day and wanted to say hello. I desperately need some help to prop my failing Passport business and would like to share some thoughts with you. My only concern is that you won’t post this letter and my business will fail. So please post the letter so I can steal some Quixtar IBO’s. It is my only chance for survival. To give the readers a false sense of my honor I would ask to not post the name of my company directly, just have them search Bo Short or any Quixtar search term and they will find me.

Qrush: Bo Short’s real concern with mentioning the name of the MLM company he worked with at the time is that he knew it would be changing frequently since he is constantly a former (fill in the blank) ________ business owner. Bo has failed at every single business he has attempted and is now reduced to dealing with known and soon to be fully exposed con man Scott Larsen. By not mentioning his company’s name this letter will work in his parasite marketing schemes regardless of how many of his scams fail.

I was involved in the Amway/Quixtar business for approximately 11 years. About a year and a half ago I chose to resign my distributorship. I thought it would be improper to simply go "inactive" and continue to collect money (even though this was recommended by one of the corporate executives).

I was involved in the Amway/Quixtar business for approximately 11 years and had nothing of substance to show for it. About a year and a half ago I chose to resign my distributorship because the pathetic checks were embarrassing my wife. I refused to go inactive because when I get frustrated I have developed the habit of quitting. In fact if Passport starts heading south I will quit this as well. (Bo Short did quit this also) :)

Qrush: Bo Short bounced around Amway/Quixtar for approximately 11 years and in that time was involved in three different training systems. Bo wears out his welcome frequently and runs to his next venture leaving his ex-groupies shafted. Bo Short’s group had dwindled to below platinum when he cut and run so going “inactive” was really not an option.

Let me first say that I met some wonderful people in the Amway business during my tenure. I spent countless nights working with people that were good, hard-working individuals. In fact, the overwhelming number of people I came into contact with seemed genuinely kind. The "brush" that many distributors are painted with is oftentimes unfair.

Let me first say that I met some wonderful people in the Amway business during my fling with the MLM. I spent countless seminars faking to be a leader and bought my diamondship to meet these individuals. In fact, the overwhelming number of people I came into contact with seemed genuine and nothing like the way you paint them Scott. The “brush” that many IBO’s are painted with is unfair unless it benefits me.

Qrush: Bo Short is in his glory here and loves blowing smoke up your arse so he can convince people he is a credible person in business. Hey Bo, where are your results after all these years in MLM? Bo Short closed Passport and has started over completely yet again. Who in their right mind would want to be in business with a six time MLM failure? It is Bo Short and his henchman that attempt to paint every diamond with the same brush which contradicts what he said here.

There were a number of reasons I chose to resign. The overwhelming reason was based on the fact that after 11 years in "the business" I did not see enough people succeeding. While I firmly believe in education and training, I do not see its value if it does not have a wider-reaching effect. While I believe in a training system, if it does not produce sufficient results...dismantle it. I felt that there was entirely too much emphasis on the training system as a "business" in itself.

I can find any number of reasons for choosing to quit. I have made a lifetime habit of quitting, just look at my track record. I did not see enough people succeeding and instead of growing and changing personally and changing the culture of business I attacked Quixtar and their leaders. While I firmly believe in education and training for the other guy, I am convinced I am perfect and my few yes men, Ty Tribble (Dribble) and Dave Stone (Stoner), feed this delusion. While I believe in a training system, I have never successfully built one myself and am talking out of my arse to even represent myself like I do.

Qrush: Bo Short’s main reason for resigning is because his business stunk worse than rotten fish. What is so credible about a man who admittedly faked his diamond pin, lost 90%+ of his group and after 11 years was making less than $1000 per month? Bo Short didn’t see anyone succeeding in his group not even himself. What was the wider-reaching effect of Passport’s training system? How did all your great new ideas work in Passport? (Answer: Total and complete failure)

I watched good, ambitious people start to blame themselves for their lack of success. Twelve years ago, I might have understood that argument, but a decade of experience taught me that there is more to it than that. One more meeting, one more plan, is not necessarily the answer. I believe there are fundamental flaws that are common within many network-marketing organizations. In my opinion, I do not think that this particular organization is exempt from many of those same flaws.

I watched good, ambitious people start to look inward and ask themselves how they could change. I had to stop this as they might expect me to look inward and admit my ego is blown totally out of proportion to any results I have ever achieved in life. Someone might actually ask me to stop living off my daddy Duke's name and credibility and actually accomplish something on my own. Every network I was involved with had the same fundamental flaw and that was the poor leadership, poor character, and poor results of mine. I have flubbed everything I have done in life but will continue to deny any responsibility and hope that this letter draws a few very ignorant people into my web.

Qrush: Perhaps Bo Short ought to starting placing some of the blame on his miserable failure of a life on himself and not constantly blame others for his six time MLM failures. Qrush could use the same argument, one more MLM, one more product is not necessarily the answer. I believe the fundamental flaw with all six MLM’s that Bo Short was involved with is that Bo Short was involved. No matter how far Bo Short runs, wherever he runs to he finds that he is still there. As long as Bo Short is there you can pretty much assume you have a recipe for disaster. Don’t take Qrush’s word for it, do your own research, but whatever you do make sure Bo Short answers why every business he touches sinks like the Titanic. Even rats don’t climb on his ship anymore why should you?

Having attempted to cause change in areas that I believed were needed, and failed, I found myself with only one option. Resignation. My loyalty was always to the independent business owners in my particular line of sponsorship. If I no longer believed that this business was going to accomplish what I was taught it would, then I could not represent it any longer. My loyalties were never to the small group of "success stories", but to the people that I had met in "living rooms" for the past 11 years.

Having attempted to cause change and failing I decided to quit vs. try and try again. I don’t have time for personal change as I am all about the glamour and glitz. This is why my results are so poor, because real leaders my struggle, stretch and grow. The reason I have been involved with six separate companies is that I become disgruntle and start playing the blame game. I have no loyalties outside of my own edification and glory.

Qrush: Bo Short attempts to cause change by screaming, yelling and blaming others. Bo even admits he failed here. Bo no longer believes in a business about once every two years on average. If you get in business with him, then plan on a short term gig. Bo Short’s loyalties lie with Bo Short and no one else. Again look at his track record.

Having gained a great deal of insight and experience in this industry I would offer the following: I believe that many mlm companies overprice their products, offer compensation plans that, while they may look lucrative, only pay out to a very small minority, and rely entirely too much on training as the "magic bullet".

Having failed in many MLM’s I would offer this insight: Stay away from any business with me in it. I, (Bo Short) have failed more times in MLM than Elizabeth Taylor has failed in marriage. I am going to sell you some BS now, but trust me this will fail in a few years as well. (Passport did fail as predicted)

Qrush: Bo Short has not gained any experience in MLM. In order to gain experience you must learn something and Bo Short continues to make rookie mistakes. Bo Short promised Passport would revolutionize the MLM industry and yet it is another failed MLM just as Qrush predicted.

I believe that if you offer people a "real" home-based business (so people do not spend their lives in convention centers and hotels), with a limited number of products (so people do not feel guilty for shopping at stores), price the products to compete with retails stores, and have a comp plan that puts the bulk of the money in reach of the average ambitious person's effort, then you cannot help but succeed. Additionally, I believe that ones individual efforts should not always be shared in the comp plan with their upline. That is why we instituted the Out-of-Plan compensation. Only the first $85 personally generated is put in the mlm compensation. Anything beyond that (monthly) is paid in the form of a 50% bonus directly to the associate. (Example: if you personally generate $250 in volume you receive a bonus check for $82.50; $250-$85 =$165; 50% of $165 = $82.50) I also believe that training should be at or near its cost...its real cost.

I don’t believe any of the following but I hope some poor sucker does, so I can pay off the hefty loan I have to start this pitiable business I am in. Here is what I promise to anyone who will get involved with me in Passport. I will give you a worthless title like CEO, VP of Sales and when we close the doors I will let you in on my latest and greatest best thing in the world MLM. Deal?

Qrush: This whole paragraph is describing a business that has closed its doors. Bo had all these allegedly great ideas and yet Passport was his biggest failure yet. How he has the gall to represent himself as a business man let alone a successful one is an incredible stretch. Bo Short has been examined under the light of logic and found lacking in all essential reasoning skills.

The compensation plan, products, and the experience itself should offer value to its participants. If it does not, it is not a "good deal".

The compensation plan, products and the leaders themselves should be battle tested with proven results and since I have none of the above my business will fail.

Qrush: Exactly Bo and that is why your pathetic business failed.

Three important questions people should answer, who are involved in a mlm are:
1. How long have you been in?
2.How much do you spend each year learning (books, tapes, seminars) how to do it?
3. What was your last bonus check? If you are only attracted to the social aspect of your business then the answers do not matter. However, if your rationale is business-driven then your answers mean a great deal.

Three important questions people should answer before getting involved with me:
1. How long will I stay in the new business before I become disgruntle and blame someone maybe even you.
2. Have I ever helped anyone who has ever worked with me achieve even a minimal amount of financial success? Is anyone working with me financially independent?
3. What were the bonus checks amounts for my Passport group? Passport has failed now and it would be easy to release this information, but I will probably dodge this question and bash any of my six former MLM’s vs. face the facts that I stink.

Qrush: Let’s answer the questions for Bo Short.
1. Bo has been trying MLM’s for over 15 years with no long term success.
2. Bo spends a fortune on parasite marketing and is rumored to owe money to former friends.
3. What was Bo Short’s last Passport bonus check or did you never receive any money for this failed venture? Bo Short has failed six times so the answer must not have been good on six different occasions.

I hope this has been helpful and clarified some of your questions. I wish you nothing but the best of luck. I look forward to speaking with you sometime. Do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Bo Short

I hope this has been helpful in painting me in the best of light and making a friend with Scott Larsen. I have plans for you Scott and no one will ever discover our fraudulent activity. I am sure no one would work so hard (like Qrush) to discover the facts. Do not hesitate to call since we have plenty of scheming to do.
Disgustingly,
Bo Short

Qrush hopes this has been helpful in clarifying the incompetence and parasite marketing beginnings of Bo Short. Bo Short was shocked that back in 2003 some people believed his lies and that started the beginning of the fraud perpetrated by Bo Short and Scott Larsen. This began the fraudulent activities of Bo Short and Scott Larsen. Both began asking how they could expand this heinous partnership to aid and abet in their attempted destruction of Quixtar for the benefit of their devious plans. Much, much more, so much more to follow. Qrush over and out.

The above comments and statements are satire and are meant to be funny and laugh at the original MLM bad boy Bo Short. Bo Short is desperately in need of cash and he would appreciate any victim thinking bottom feeders to contact him and join up in his latest scam before he moves on again. Qrush won't bother mentioning the MLM's name since I would then have to go and update this in a couple of years. :)

Scott Larsen & The 40 Year Old Virgin?

2006-03-06T11:44:00.000-07:00

Qrush is doing a reader survey. Scott Larsen knows that Qrush is aware of the truth and that is why Scott still refuses to answer the deadly questions. Qrush will begin to reveal Scott Larsen’s frauds and deceptions later this week, but would like to get the opinion of my growing fan club. I thank my fans for the outpouring of support and encouragement as I expose this doggedly deviant person. Qrush must answer one question that continues to pop up in emails. Unlike my critic friends, Qrush will remain a free website. Qrush refuses to setup a pay pal account and collect the large potential donations to run this site. Many of the negative Quixtar sites are being funded by quitters, complainers, and competitors. How neutral of a site can that be? Qrush started this as a short term hobby and I have become engrossed with the two faced hypocritical stance of Scott Larsen. I will not accept money to expose the truth and question what type of consumer advocate Scott is, when he accepts money to run his website from Quixtar hating zealots. Qrush will gladly exit the field when the truth is exposed and the wrongs righted.

Scott Larsen continues to blunder and reveal his true motives and now there is dissension in the ranks of the critics. Scott, the viewing audience would respect you much more if you answered the questions like a man. Scott will be exposed either way, but in the interest of fair play Qrush has given him ample time to answer the questions before the exposure begins. Scott Larsen represents himself as a consumer advocate with a right to judge the moral positions of Quixtar and their leaders. Qrush thinks it is strange that no one has ever asked Scott Larsen to come clean with his moral position and basis of his authority in this matter. When someone presumes to become the authority figure with the facts on a business they are not a part of, then Qrush feels a corresponding responsibility to ask why Scott Larsen feels qualified to be the judge and jury. There are a few things necessary to be a proper judge and advocate in this matter:

Personal results in the Quixtar business – Scott has no personal results in Quixtar and was only active for a couple of months. Never having any experience or achieving any level of success makes Qrush wonder how Scott presumes to pontificate about the Quixtar leaders?
Personal results in any business – Scott has no business success period and has failed as a business consultant and as a home stock broker. Scott attempted to leave his job, but had to crawl back into work after his latest failure. Never achieving any success in any business makes Qrush wonder how Scott presumes to address business issues in any field.
Personal success or credibility in his own field – Scott is a middle aged man in an entry level position with no supervisory level authority. Scott’s big achievement at work is to maintain his job by competing with people half his age with the same level of responsibility. Never achieving any success in life makes Qrush wonder how Scott presumes to converse on success at all. Scott holds no positions of respect in the engineering community and holds no special certifications that Qrush can find. The only thing Scott is qualified to teach successfully is how to blow a talented life in a worthless vendetta.
Pillar of success in his community – Scott is an expatriated engineer living outside of his home country. Scott provides no time or energy to support any community in the United States and bashes those who do. Scott has bounced around from community to community and has never developed roots anywhere.

Scott is not operating from a basis of credibility, therefore; the only possible conclusion is Scott Larsen has a personal vendetta and agenda against Quixtar. There are three major potential reasons for Scott Larsen’s vendetta and his agenda can only be discovered by delving into Scott’s personal life, since he does not have the professional life to warrant his consumer advocate position. Qrush is not interested in everyone’s personal life, but when someone plays the role as an expert when they have no results it begs the question as to why? Why does Scott Larsen spend over eight years of his life attacking a business that he has no: results in, credibility in, money in, or commitment in? Here are the three potential personal life scenarios for Scott Larsen:

First Potential Role: Scott Larsen is a non-married heterosexual who is carrying on sexual relationships outside of marriage. Scott is morally judging other people’s behavior even though he is a mid-40’s male who has never carried on a long term relationship with a member of the opposite sex. Perhaps Scott Larsen is just a Peter Pan syndrome man child who once signed up into Amway. When Scott learned that it would take a commitment to succeed he ran from this like he has run his whole life. Scott’s behavior fits the classic Peter Pan model and when forced to confront his behavior he responded with attacks on the perceived father figures. Scott’s whole website is just one large attack from a man child who refuses to accept responsibility for his own life. Scott’s attacks are motivated by revenge and jealousy from those achieving results in a grown up world that Scott cannot comprehend let alone achieve success in. If this is the true role, then Scott is not in a position to judge or evaluate anyone else’s behavior let alone business. This is option number one.
Second Potential Role: Perhaps Scott Larsen is a homosexual male who is carrying on relationships outside of marriage. Scott is morally judging other people’s behavior even though he is a mid-40’s male who is out of touch with the majority of the people researching Quixtar as a potential option. Scott Larsen is a man with no responsibility to any other human being, practicing a minority lifestyle and presumes to speak for the majority. Scott’s personal lifestyle is his choice, but researchers of Quixtar deserve to know the honest truth of Scott’s motives. Perhaps Scott Larsen is motivated to destroy the Quixtar business due to its founders (DeVos and VanAndel’s) stances on conservative values. Perhaps Scott Larsen is a Liberal Activist who wishes to destroy the nuclear family which represents a lifestyle choice in opposition to his own. Scott’s anger is vented at anyone achieving success in Quixtar contrary to Scott’s personal wishes. This would explain his hatred of the Business Support Materials as it teaches a more conservative, God fearing, responsibility based lifestyle choice which is against Scott’s liberal activist, man child victim mentality. If this is the true role, then Scott is not in a neutral position to judge or evaluate anyone else’s behavior let alone business. This is option number two.
Third Potential Role: Scott Larsen is the model person for the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin. :) Scott has maintained a celibate lifestyle all these years and has been preoccupied with saving people from Quixtar to develop healthy, normal, face to face relationships with members of the opposite sex. Scott is morally pure and castigates other people for falling below the bar he has set for his personal life. :) Scott is angry that other men have developed relationships with women and have gone on to be responsible members of society with children and more respectable hobbies. Scott attacks people who are divorced because he is upset that he could not convince anyone to date him let alone marry him. No wonder Scott advises people to not try the Quixtar business, because Scott Larsen has not successfully tried anything in life. Perhaps Qrush’s reader audience can help Scott find a date and give the poor man child some time off from his full time hobby. Qrush wonders if Scott Larsen was contacted for advice on the hit movie and whether he is receiving royalty payments from the producers of the movie. :) If this is the true role, then Scott has no experience to judge or evaluate anyone else’s behavior let alone business. This is option number three.

These are the three options on the table. Qrush is giving his reader audience an opportunity to vote on the choice you feel best represents Scott’s motives and role. Qrush is giving Scott Larsen yet another opportunity to come clean with our ever increasing reader audience. Scott is either a Peter Pan man child, Liberal Activist, or the poster boy for The 40 Year Old Virgin. Qrush must ask the tough question: Are any of these three options someone you should entrust your future career path too? Is this the financial mentor anyone should be listening too? If Scott will reveal the truth about himself, then Qrush will not embarrass Scott with my discoveries. If Scott does not reveal the truth then Qrush’s will play the cards he has been given. Qrush will have the corresponding facts to back up all the claims this time. Scott Larsen should know that dodging questions, character assassinating those who question him, and changing the subject are not proper responses from an alleged consumer advocate. Why is it so hard for Scott Larsen to answer the questions truthfully? Qrush over and out.

The above comments and statements are based on my opinions and experiences as we seek to learn more about Scott Larsen’s motives. Qrush is in no way attacking Scott personally, but merely seeking the truth. Qrush believes that the Quixtar community deserves to know the truth about Scott Larsen.

What is Scott Larsen Hiding?

2006-02-27T05:37:00.000-07:00

Why is Scott Larsen refusing to answer Qrush’s questions? Qrush has received over 50 emails asking versions of this question. What is so hard to answer about the questions Qrush has asked? Does Scott honestly not know what his motivation is to spend 12-16 hours per day in front of his computer bashing Quixtar? Perhaps Scott’s real problem is how to answer the questions and maintain his façade when Qrush knows the real truth about our hypocrite friend. Qrush went on record stating that I would Qrush Scott Larsen and his double life. Qrush is merely setting the stage for his stunning revelations on Scott Larsen and his double life.

Qrush remembers when I asked Bo Short some basic questions about his Passport business. Data like sales revenue and profit seemed to be beyond Bo Short’s capability to reply even though he demanded answers from Quixtar. Bo Short refused to answer any questions about sales or profits, because he knew his enterprise was sinking faster than the Titanic. Bo Short lost the credibility and respect of any serious business person and his business closed its doors a year later. (How many businesses can Bo Short fail at and still represent himself as a successful business man? :) Why is Scott Larsen following the path of Bo Short? (How many lies of Scott Larsen can be exposed and still present himself as a consumer advocate?) Does Scott Larsen know he is stuck? Think about it. If Scott answers the questions truthfully, everyone will be upset at the level of lies Scott heaped on the Quixtar network. If Scott answers with his list of lies and deceit then Qrush will fully expose his deceit before my reader audience. The only reasonable course of action for a liar who is being exposed is to refuse to answer the questions, which not coincidently, is exactly what Scott Larsen has done.

Scott Larsen credibility is at an all time low and it is time for Scott to come clean with everyone involved with his deception, both pros and cons. Scott needs to explain his obsession with successful Quixtar diamonds and how this fits in with his personal lifestyle choices. Scott Larsen, answer the questions or exit the field in shame.

1. Why have you worked on a negative web site since 1998 actively designed to attack Quixtar or anyone affiliated with Quixtar?

2. Have you ever been offered or accepted money to work on your website?

3. If this is truly a website run for free and fun, then why not get a fun part time job and make some money with your internet skills?

4. When do you think enough is enough? Will you do this for the rest of your life or until what?

5. What makes you feel qualified to speak on the Quixtar business when you were active for less than one year?

6. How have you raised the money, for your legal bills in at least two lawsuits against you, on an engineer’s salary?

7. If you are such a stock investor genius, claiming to have figured out the market, then why did you go back to work?

8. Have you ever posted under multiple identities to give the illusion that many people are upset when it is actually just you?

9. Have you ever done anything else that would be considered illegal, underhanded or fraudulent pertaining to your website?

10. How many active websites and blogs are you moderating?

Qrush over and out.

The above comments are based on my opinions and experiences of a sorry individual that is learning he enjoys dishing it out more than receiving the same in kind.

Qrush Exposing Scott Larsen's Double Standard

2006-02-23T08:04:00.000-07:00

Qrush is a prophet when it comes to the Quixtar Critics. Qrush broke the story over a year before it actually occurred that Bo Short’s Passport was failing and would close. Now in a repeat performance, Qrush will expose Scott Larsen as a fraud and the rest of the Quixtar (Pros & Cons) will learn the real facts. Qrush must have patience and reveal the truth slowly to enjoy the full effect of Scott Larsen’s conundrum. Just as a killer whale plays with its food before eating it, Qrush will reveal all the facts on Scott Larsen before Qrushing him. Just read Jody Victor’s rebuke of the man child Scott Larsen. Can you almost hear the contempt in Jody’s voice for the village idiot known as Scott Larsen? Here is a portion of Jody’s letter with my comments in red:

Larsen Question #1. So to get straight to the point, are you saying that Linda was never in a family Crown portrait of Joe and Helyne and that any portraits were never retouched?

Victor Answer #1: This is one of many examples of questions that are strictly personal and highly offensive, but the fact is that Linda (my ex-wife) was never in a family Crown portrait. I cannot speak to any other portraits, but neither I nor Kathy (my wife) has ever been retouched.

Boy, Scott does not seem to mind personal questions directed to the diamonds. I wonder why he throws such a hissy fit when someone asks him personal questions. Like, why Scott has never been married and does not have a girlfriend in his mid-forties? Why does Scott Larsen submit diamonds to intensive interrogation and yet throw a temper tantrum when anyone asks a personal question of him? Why hasn’t Scott Larsen answered the questions Qrush posed for him? Scott, get straight to the point.

Larsen Question #2. Quixtar did not mention it in their letter, and you did not mention it in your rebuttal. Was the 2005 IBOA board picture retouched?

Victor Answer #2: I remain mystified by your obsession with retouching, but the answer is "no."

Scott must have some pictures (all of them:) of himself that he would like to touch up. He was hoping to get some free advice on beauty tips (he needs it:) and found out he was set up by his two con friends. :) Scott is very disappointed that he will not have pictures to display this year at the first ever annual (LAC) Losers Anonymous Conference or (Lacking Any Cash.) (No one can guarantee this conference will actually take place, since it has been canceled for over 200 consecutive years. The losers cannot get anyone to take responsibility for the conference and everyone involved just gripes and complains that it doesn’t work. :) Jody Victor stole Scott’s one and only dream for the year. Sniff, Sniff.

Question #3a (Original Larsen original multi-subject question has been broken into two parts for clarity). Can we set the record straight? Do you qualify for the Executive Diamond pin to the definition in the Sep. 2005 compendium? That is do you have 9 direct legs, or 10 FAA points with a Diamond bonus? Do you qualify for the Executive Diamond pin if you remove legs you might have purchased or inherited? If you give me your word that you qualify for the Executive Diamond pin, or you qualify for some other pin higher than Emerald, I will retract my statement about "periodically qualifying for Emerald" and make a public apology.

Victor Answer #3a: Your question reflects your horrendous lack of understanding of our business but, to keep it in simple terms for you, you have my word that I have qualified and expect to be able to continue to qualify for the Executive Diamond pin. I look forward to reading your apology. Let me add that I am making this one-time exception to answer your questions about my finances and business success, even though private businesses do not typically do so. Would you ask your grocery store chain to divulge the profits and salaries of its executives because you were choosing to shop there? If you bought a home from a private individual, do you think you’d have a right to know his or her detailed financial information, versus information on the home itself? Most people know that there are competitive and legal reasons for a private company to not go into such detail, but you don’t seem to respect such boundaries.

Scott Larsen doesn’t shop, own, or support any Quixtar owned business. Why he pontificates about something he is clueless about is beyond Qrush. The only information Scott has on Quixtar is coming from quitters, complainers or competitors.

Larsen Question #3b (originally submitted as part of the very disjointed question above). As far as if you ever qualified as a Crown on your own without legs from your parent’s business, or purchasing them, if you give me your word that you had personally sponsored 18 groups that simultaneously qualified for at least Platinum, I will retract my statement and make a public apology.

Victor Answer #3b: It seems that you will be writing multiple apologies and, as you should, retracting a lot of material. Kathy and I qualified for Crown in 1981 with 20 domestic qualified legs of Platinum or higher. If you knew our business you would know that, in 1981, it took 20 -- not 18 -- legs for Crown for all who had to qualify that fiscal year at Platinum or higher. I purchased my own kit and built my own business separate and apart of my parents’ business.

How many times does Scott need to get an answer before he admits he is wrong? It seems interesting to Qrush that Scott will believe a lying loser on an email, but needs confirmation multiple times from a diamond in order to retract a lie. Why is that?

Larsen Question #4. We can clear up the American Way Association comment. Did your father ever have part ownership in the American Way Association? If so, did he ever relinquish it or sell it? If he never had ownership in the American Way Association or, if he never relinquished it, I will retract my statement with a public apology.

Victor Answer #4: I am flabbergasted that you could be so ignorant of business matters that you would actually ask if someone could "own" part of a not-for-profit trade organization. There are no owners in such a business entity, there are dues-paying "members." So the answer isn’t merely "no" but "it would have been impossible!" My father was simply very active in helping to establish the American Way Association, which launched in April 1959. And that makes four public apologies which – according to your own pledge, above -- you now owe me.

This is Scott showing his arse again. Why write your drivel if you won’t bother to get the basic facts? This must be extremely embarrassing for the one who claims to have the most complete information on the Quixtar business. Perhaps you should change your motto to, “The most complete list of lies on Quixtar direct from the Quitters, Complainers, and Competitors.” Qrush believes this is a more accurate title for Scott Larsen’s material.

It is hardly necessary to go into more detail to demonstrate your failure to provide the public with accurate information or to make your intent perfectly clear to anyone who reads this and my previous correspondence. However, I and others will continue to analyze your Web site and demand immediate retraction of other false, misleading and damaging information.

Mr. Larsen, in closing, I must note that – if you were an honorable man -- you would immediately cease and desist from what any rational person would see as a vendetta, while apologizing for your actions. According to my tally, you owe me four apologies now. I believe anyone is capable of positive change and hope that you are too. If you are not, we will have no choice but to take any and all appropriate action to protect me, my family and my business.

Sincerely,

Jody Victor

Sorry Jody, but Scott Larsen is not an honorable man. Now we know why Scott did the near impossible and issued an apology. I knew Scott's flabby bottom must have been spanked to get him to act like a normal human being. :) Stay tuned as Qrush reveals the true life of our man child case study Scott Larsen. Quixtar Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on Qrush’s opinions and experiences about a man child who is having a really bad year. Scott Larsen’s life is built on a web of lies and Qrush is on a quest for the truth.

Scott Larsen Refuses to Answer Qrush

2006-02-20T11:48:00.000-07:00

Scott Larsen, in a weak attempt to deflect criticism, refuses to answer Qrush's questions. Qrush has received emails from numerous sources and thanks my many fans for their support. Qrush will not let this issue slide. Scott Larsen owes the whole Quixtar community, both pros and cons, some answers. Qrush has narrowed his focus down to Scott Larsen after an interesting scoop gathered through emails and research. Scott Larsen's goose is almost cooked and he is leaking in his shorts. :) Stay tuned as we watch a fraud unravel before Qrush's reader audience. Qrush know Scott's dirty big secret and after I toy with my catch, so will the rest the rest of the Quixtar world. :) Here are the questions again.

1. Why have you worked on a negative web site since 1998 actively designed to attack Quixtar or anyone affiliated with Quixtar?

2. Have you ever been offered or accepted money to work on your website?

3. If this is truly a website run for free and fun, then why not get a fun part time job and make some money with your internet skills?

4. When do you think enough is enough?Will you do this for the rest of your life or until what?

5. What makes you feel qualified to speak on the Quixtar business when you were active for less than one year?

6. How have you raised the money, for your legal bills in at least two lawsuits against you, on an engineers salary?

7. If you are such a stock investor genius, claiming to have figured out the market, then why did you go back to work?

8. Have you ever posted under multiple identities to give the illusion that many people are upset when it is actually just you?

9. Have you ever done anything else that would be considered illegal, underhanded or fraudulent pertaining to your website?

10. How many active websites and blogs are you moderating?

Qrush over and out.

The above comments are based on my experiences and opinions of the research on a nefarious character with an interesting pitiable life. Qrush believes in freedom of speech and the right for people to know the truth.

Jody Victor Spanks Spoiled Man Child Scott Larsen

2006-02-17T10:20:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is falling out of my chair laughing. In an almost unbelievable post, Scott Larsen has apologized. In my short time of tracking this wasted use of a life known as Scott Larsen, he has never apologized for anything. Has anyone else noticed how bad Scott is slipping lately? Scott must be lonely and abandoned. :) Qrush is still waiting for Scott's answers to my questions. Were they too hard for you Scott? Quixtar Qrush will post Scott’s apology and interpret what the temperamental child really means. :) As always Quixtar Qrush’s comments are in red.

Public Apology to Jody Victor
Back in November of 2005 I had posted a page, based upon various site visitor input about Mr. Victor.

Back in November of 2005 I decided to start smearing another respectable diamond leader, who had hurt my feelings by being a winner while I continued to lose in life. Various other losers and quitters who wished to smear Jody Victor sent in lies to help me with my smear job.

Based upon the numerous site visitor contacts from people who know Mr. Victor and information on one of Bo Shorts' pages about Mr. Victor, I had stated that Mr. Victor only periodically qualified for the Emerald pin, therefore questioning the reason for Mr. Victor's long term presence on the IBOAI board of directors and as a member of the executive committee.

Based upon numerous losers who blame others for their pathetic lives like I do and Bo Short the original (MLM Bad Boy & King of Quitters), I stated that Mr. Victor only periodically qualified for the Emerald pin. Even though I had no evidence besides the opinions of pathetic losers like me, I felt I could hide behind freedom of speech like I had for years. I chose to believe the lies of my loser friends and then concluded that Jody should not be on the IBOAI board. It really frustrates me when someone is winning and achieving while I continue to be such a loser. I haven’t had a date in 10 years and I am desperate for any fun even lying about people on the internet. I sure hope my five people listening to me do not realize what a nut case I really am.

For my statement that Mr. Victor only periodically qualifies as Emerald, I must offer my apology.

Jody Victor called me out and I have to admit I lied. My parents won’t let me come home for the holidays, unless I apologize. Sniff, Sniff, Why me? Why did I pick on someone with a backbone?

Although Mr. Victor would not reveal his actual pin status, he has given me his word that he currently qualifies for at least the Executive Diamond Pin. To qualify for the executive diamond pin one has at least 9 qualifying legs or 10 FAA points and the Diamond pin. Mr. Victor assured me that he has maintained the qualification for the Executive Diamond pin throughout 2005 and that he expects to qualify for at least this status next year as well. Since Mr. Victor states he is a qualifying Executive Diamond pin the statement I made about him only periodically qualifying for Emerald is then a gross understatement of Mr. Victor's current pin level. Mr. Victor had the patience to answer several E-mails from me about this topic went out of his way to relieve my skepticism by also giving me his word that he has qualified for the Diamond pin level every year since 1976.

Although Mr. Victor would not actually answer every sorry personal question I asked him, he did say he qualifies for at least the executive diamond pin. @@#%$%%%@ I must regain my composure. Mr. Victor even stated that he has qualified for the diamond level every year since 1976, which totally blows my theory that the business does not last long term. #@#^%$$#^%^@ I better get a hold of myself or people will realize what a psychotic person I am . $#%$%^$$%$#^%$ Oh I hate this.

I also owe Mr. Victor another apology based upon a long-standing rumor, both inside an outside the corporation, that the family crown portrait of Joe and Helyne Victor had once been modified to remove the image of Jody Victor's first wife, Linda. Mr. Victor has given me his word that the family portrait was never retouched as was passed on to me by at least three site visitors over a period of two years.

Jody, please let it stop. I can’t go on apologizing for everything I have ever done can I? This is totally destroying my image and I am soiling my pants. Sure I didn’t have any hard evidence, but can’t I just smear others and call myself a consumer advocate? Please Jody, I will never pick on you again, just make it stop. If this keeps up I might get my conscience back. No, No the horrors. #@%$#^%$^%$&$&^&^%&^^%&^^%$

It appears that Mr. Victor has unfortunately been the victim of a long-standing practical joke that included corporate officers who passed along the rumor to visitors in the Amway Hall of Fame gallery. But, here again Mr. Victor has given me his word that the portrait was never modified or replaced to eliminate the image of his ex-wife. For posting this on my website I offer my sincerest apology.

Ok is that enough? Why did I get myself into this mess? How can I possibly blame others for this one? I will never be able to show my face at the losers anonymous conferences again. Even my loser critic friends won’t respect me after this. #@#@%$^&%&^&%&&)^$@#$@$%*&%$@#E^%& ^%#$#%%^&*^*&%

As for that the statement that Mr. Victor did not actually have a Crown business he built himself, Mr. Victor assures me that he build his own business of 20 Platinum legs without buying any of the legs.

As for that other lie I said, about Jody never building his business himself? Well I lied about that too. @$#%$$&^%&^%$*^&*&^%^&%&^%^%$%^%&*%^%$&^%&^%& ^%^%^&%&^%&^%&^%&^%%$$#^^&$$%@$#@@^^%^&% I need to take a deep breath before I blow all of my imaginary credibility.

Also for the statement about the American Way Association I make an apology. Bill Halliday confirmed that the Victor family had never received any ownership rights in the American Way or in Amway.

Also for that next lie, you know the one after the twenty lies before this, about the American Way Association and the Victor family ownership rights? Well I made that up too. When a consumer advocate like me decides to do a story on a diamond, I make sure I lie all the way. No half way measures for me. This is the quality type work you will find throughout my pitiable website. $#@%$$#^%$%^#%$%^$%$$&^% ^%$^%$& ^%^%$#%$#$##%^$%^$^%$%^$&^%^%$#$%$#^%$^%$%$%^$$&^%^&%%&*^%%^$$%#$%$&^%$%$#$%#%$^%$^%$#$

Mr. Victor reviewed this for accuracy before I posted it.

Mr. Victor made me issue this or else he would have spanked my flabby bottom. #@#^%&%$$$&^%&$^%*%^%%*&^^%#$#@#&*&($%$#@$#@%*&%%$$#@^%&^$%$@$#^^%*^&^$#$@%%%T*&&^&##@#$&)(*(^%#$%$#@%%(*&)(&&$%$#@#$@#&&^(*&(%

Quixtar Qrush reporting, giving you the rest of the story on Scott Larsen. It sure is a great day isn’t it? Love it when a lying con is exposed. With so many documented lies and errors, who could possibly believe anything that Scott Larsen says? Qrush over and out.

The above comments are based on my opinions and experiences as I watch a mentally unstable man child unravel. Qrush is just pursuing the truth and exercising my freedoms as an American to learn. Quixtar Qrush does not mean to make Scott Larsen look like such an idiot, but Qrush cannot report the facts without this outcome naturally occurring. :)

Quixtar Qrush's Questions to Scott Larsen

2006-02-07T08:09:00.000-07:00

Qrush has decided to ask some questions to Scott Larsen. Since Scott feels it is perfectly acceptable to ask ridiculous questions to diamonds like Jody Victor, Qrush decided to return the favor. :) Here is a list of questions that enquiring minds would like to know:

1. Why have you worked on a negative web site since 1998 actively designed to attack Quixtar or anyone affiliated with Quixtar?

2. Have you ever been offered or accepted money to work on your website?

3. If this is truly a website run for free and fun, then why not get a fun part time job and make some money with your internet skills?

4. When do you think enough is enough?Will you do this for the rest of your life or until what?

5. What makes you feel qualified to speak on the Quixtar business when you were active for less than one year?

6. How have you raised the money, for your legal bills in at least two lawsuits against you, on an engineers salary?

7. If you are such a stock investor genius, claiming to have figured out the market, then why did you go back to work?

8. Have you ever posted under multiple identities to give the illusion that many people are upset when it is actually just you?

9. Have you ever done anything else that would be considered illegal, underhanded or fraudulent pertaining to your website?

10. How many active websites and blogs are you moderating?

Quixtar Qrush would love to know the answers to these questions and since I am a critic of Scott Larsen I have a right to know, based on Scott Larsen’s logic. Since in Scott’s world it is perfectly acceptable to ask personal questions and demand answers, Qrush believes that Scott owes the world these answers. Stay tuned and let’s see if our dishonorable friend will rise to the occasion and answer the questions. Qrush over and out.

The above statements and questions are based on my opinions and experiences. They are meant to help clarify the motives and thinking of a social misfit by the name of Scott Larsen.

Billy Florence Chastises Scott Larsen Internet Critic

2006-02-04T07:57:00.000-07:00

Scott Larsen the self alleged Quixtar expert (actually a moral midget and mental moron) has been chastised again for lying. Scott assaulted the integrity of Billy Florence by claiming Billy misrepresented the earnings potential of the Quixtar plan. Scott Larsen reviewed the business plan numbers and proved his ignorance of the compensation plan fundamentals. Scott Larsen also made general math level calculation errors in his review. (Qrush told you the guy was stupid) By combining his ignorance and mathematical errors, Scott Larsen concluded that Billy Florence has no integrity. :) How did Scott become an engineer with such pathetic mathematical and reasoning ability? Here is just a portion of Scott’s embarrassing retraction article and as always, Qrush’s comments in red.

I had misunderstood the 2500 PV side volume rule to apply to all platinum's but after rereading the compendium. I did learn that after two qualifying legs that you don't need the side volume to get the 4% leadership bonus. That was my "bad" I admit.

Scott that was real “Bad.” You attacked a man’s character and integrity based on your total ignorance of a Quixtar foundational concept, the 4% leadership bonus. Where is the apology for this? What an arrogant fool. Mistake #1

Another glaring mistake was a calculation of the 4% leadership bonus. I don't know how I did it but I did calculate incorrectly the leadership bonus and I cannot recreate where I made the mistake.

Qrush knows how you did it. You are a mathematically deficient person posing as an expert. You cannot recreate the numbers because you probably pulled them out of thin air to begin with. Two mistakes in the alleged consumer advocates article? Mistake #2

I had another mistake where I misquoted his $56,000 income representation over a 2+ year period as being on a year basis. Another bad on my part.

Scott, you are having a tough time doing 5th grade math. Do you not review your articles before publishing this garbage? Perhaps you ought to stick to simpler concepts like counting to ten, tying your shoes, and wiping your own arse. :) Three mistakes in the wannabe consumer advocate's article?? Mistake #3

Scott totally blew his expert facade and displayed his ignorance of how the 4% bonus works and then combined this error with general education level math errors thereby deducing that Billy Florence lacks integrity. Billy Florence sent Scott a letter spelling out Scott’s errors and ignorance in detail. Scott changed the article but refused to issue an apology for his inconceivable errors. Here is Scott Larsen describing his reasoning for not issuing an apology.

I would consider an apology if he had brought the issue to my attention a year ago, when he surely had seen the page and could have taken action to set the record straight then. Apparently he did not care at the time to have the record set straight.

In the strange mind of Scott Larsen, he somehow feels there is a statute of limitations on apologies. Since Scott’s article was up for more than one year he refuses to offer an apology to Billy Florence, claiming Billy should have read Scott’s site within the year to ensure the morons accuracy. Scott you made three mistakes in the course of one article. Qrush hates to break the news to Scott, but diamonds probably have better things to do with their time than to teach know nothing critics like Scott the Quixtar basics. Plus at the rate of three mistakes per article it would take years to correct all the worthless articles you have published. Exactly how are you being a consumer advocate here? A better term would be a Scott Larsen Ignorant Deceiver.

Scott’s whole site appears to be made up of hate filled diatribe, rumors, lies, innuendo, mathematical errors and negative opinions. How can Scott pretend to be an expert on the Quixtar business commenting on sophisticated topics like, FTC legal requirements, Product Cost per Use (this would require math :), Attorney General Regulations, Economic Issues and Pyramid law when he doesn’t even understand how the 4% bonus works or perform basic mathematical functions? What is up with that? Scott Larsen proves the theory that any fool with a computer can spew lies on the internet. Just as Bo Short proved any fool using a computer could act like he owned a business. Scott Larsen has no results, nor apparently any facts, nor any inherent sense of honor.

Some of Qrush’s critics accuse me of being like Scott Larsen and having no credibility. Qrush does not agree for various reasons, but here is the major one. Qrush is not an evil, hateful, spiteful person pretending to be a legitimate critic. Qrush is a free enterpriser, encourager and optimist pretending to be like Scott to teach him a lesson. Qrush is modeling Scott Larsen’s behavior to teach him and others that when you sling mud all you do is dig yourself in a hole. Qrush has stated repeatedly that I will exit the field when Scott Larsen has had enough of the game. If someone is turned off by Qrush it is only because you don’t understand parody, satire or the heinous activities of Scott Larsen.

Many of my fans have asked what they can do to contribute to Qrush’s and the IBO’s cause. Qrush thanks my reader audience in advance and will spell out how you can help. First, start a blog and start sharing the truth about Quixtar, Scott Larsen and the diamonds. Second, if you have any information on our “wonder wimp” liar then please email me and share your story. We must expose Scott Larsen to the facts of his shattered credibility, diabolical actions and wasted life. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and a very low quality article by Scott Larsen. Qrush is merely using his free speech to mentor a broken little man who has lost his way.

Jody Victor, Scott Larsen & Quixtar Lies

2006-02-02T11:57:00.000-07:00

Scott Larsen is such a hypocrite that it makes Quixtar Qrush’s exposure of Scott easy. Qrush stated to the world that I would prove Scott Larsen a lying fraud and I have on many fronts already. I have returned from my hiatus temporarily for a little update and a little fun. :) Thanks to many diamonds coming forward with Scott Larsen’s lies I felt obligated to update my site and prove just how accurate my predictions were. Here is one more for the record. This is Scott Larsen commenting on Qblog (date below) and boy I bet Scott wishes he could take these words back now. Scott is commenting on Qrush posting some information that I took down after I could not verify material. Qrush can beat this moron with half my brain tied behind my head. :) Qrush's comments are in red.

Hi Porkchopjim,
It was not a setup by myself, Qblog, or Bo Short. Somebody thought they would be clever and feed Qruch with stuff he wants to hear. The difference betewen Qrush and my site is, I have documented sources, mainly court cases or newspaper articles.

Oh really? What was your documented source with Jody Victor? Was it an anonymous email or two? Are you saying when you get an email it is credible, but everyone else must use court cases and newspaper articles? Qrush has not read any court case or newspaper article on Jody Victor’s pin level. Have you Scott Larsen? If not an anonymous email then why don’t you:

1. Post the persons name?
2. What was their involvement with Jody Victor?
3. What was their pin level?
4. Were they even in the business?
5. Why did you think they were a credible source?
6. How did you validate this source?

On the other hand Qrush has nothing but he makes up and his site visitor e-mail. Why doesn't Qrush first start with a documented court case or a newspaper article like the rest of us do? If we started articles like Qrush did we would be burreid by defamation lawsuits. The only suits filed so far are "copyright" suits so that the plaintiff can have his suit and minimize the amount of discovery he has to withstand of his personal information.

Scott, where is your documented court case or newspaper article here? Do you believe any quitter who wishes to take a pot shot at one of the diamonds is a viable source? Is this what your alleged Quixtar information site is really about? Do you want to be buried in defamation lawsuits? Is Qrush missing something or are you the biggest hypocrite the world will ever know? Scott's arrogance is only exceeded by his ignorance. Did you just make the whole Jody Victor thing up? If you didn’t make it all up then did you decide it was credible because it was the lies you choose to believe about respectable, credible people like Crown Jody Victor?

Maybe Qrush can learn something from those of who have been doing this for years. Qrush needs a mentor. Maybe he will ask me to be his mentor.

Scott proposes to be Qrush’s mentor? Now that is a funny one. Scott you need a mentor, priest, warden and psychologist? Perhaps you ought to start listening to Quixtar CD’s and focus on the CD’s with character and integrity teaching. You are severely lacking in these categories.

Posted by: Scott Larsen at October 20, 2004 05:59 PM

There it is. Scott accuses others of using non-credible email sources but then turns around and does the exact same thing to attack Jody Victor. Another hypocritical lie exposed by Qrush on Scott Larsen. Scott Larsen any time you would like to apologize please feel free to email and plead for forgiveness for your various lies to all the IBO’s. Your lies and deceit are finally catching up to you and Qrush is happy to be the first to break the news to the Quixtar world. Thank you Quixtar diamonds for finally waking up to the hypocritical liar known as Scott Larsen. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and one very embarrassing comment post by Scott Larsen. Qrush is seeking after truth and the true reasons that would motivate a moral midget like Scott to attack character based diamonds. Qrush is a firm believer in free speech and is thankful for my new opportunity to mentor poor, broke and despicable Scott Larsen. Can Scott Larsen go any lower? :)

Qrush was Right & Scott Larsen was Wrong

2006-01-29T19:00:00.000-07:00

Qrush is back from my year long hiatus in Germany and is smiling from ear to ear. It is amazing how many English speaking people are in certain parts of Germany. :) With the latest released escapades of Bo Short and Scott Larsen nearly every single prediction Qrush made has come to fruition. Qrush felt compelled to review the predictions set forth on this blog to prove the accuracy of my postings. Read the old post and you will see how many times Qrush was right and Scott Larsen was wrong. Let’s review some of the highlights:

Qrush stated that Bo Short did not know leadership and with no leadership at the top of Passport, it would only be a matter of time before Bo was bored and went to another business, where he could feed his ego off someone else’s leadership group. (Bo shut down Passport and moved to his next short term project. (Their all short term with Bo. :)) Qrush right and Scott wrong.
Qrush stated that no business without a training system would work. Bo attempted to build a people business with no workable system and failed horrendously. Bo’s only talent is convincing people he is a good leader, not in actually leading anyone. (Bo’s business peaked at the Gang of 10 and now is the Gang of 0) Qrush right and Scott wrong again.
Qrush stated Bo Short was only talking to Mr. Know it All “Scott” Larsen to use him to benefit his business. When Bo Short discovered that Scott Larsen spewing negative about Quixtar did not help his venture Bo dumped Scott like a used rag. I must give Bo Short credit for totally duping Scott Larsen. No one has ever made Scott sing and dance to a tune as well as Bo Short and his sidekick Ty Tribble. (Qrush called this one like shooting fish in a barrel. There is no honor among thieves.) Qrush right and Scott misled.
Qrush stated that Scott Larsen was using half truths and total lies in many of his article to defame Quixtar leaders. Scott Larsen’s smear campaign on Jody Victor came to an ignominious end when he recanted all claims and weakly excused himself with bad sources. (Qrush stated Scott was fabricating material to character assassinate diamonds.) Qrush right and Scott exposed.
Qrush stated that Scott Larsen is clueless when it comes to understanding any business let alone the Quixtar business. Scott Larsen attacked Billy Florence’s Quixtar plan sheet and Scott made multiple elementary mathematical errors in his review. Scott Larsen stated that you lose the 4% bonus when you have two 25% groups and no outside volume which is totally false. (Qrush is on record stating that Scott Larsen is a moron.) Qrush right and Scott confirmed as an idiot.

Scott Larsen has repeatedly tried to paint Qrush as someone who assassinated Scott’s character. Qrush has no need to assassinate Scott’s character because Scott has done a good enough job himself. Qrush has received many emails over the last couple of years stating Scott’s personal and professional irregular behavior. Qrush has continued to take the high road and not release anything unless it can be confirmed by multiple parties. I challenge anyone to research my entire website and see if any of the information Scott claims is on this site is still here. I posted an article over a year and a half ago that was removed as soon as I determined it may not be correct. I did not need a threatening lawyer letter in order to do the right thing. Qrush has a conscience which is more than I can say for Scott Larsen. Scott Larsen’s defines conscience as that inner voice that determines someone is watching him.

Qrush feels that Scott Larsen owes the Quixtar leaders an apology for hyping a known faker like Bo Short and his Passport fantasy. Scott stated that Passport could be built without the use of a system and yet it sunk faster than the Titanic. Scott must now admit that Dexter, Bill, Ron, and others are right in teaching that a proven system is the key to long term success. Qrush is not counting the days for this apology to come. Scott states he is utilizing his freedoms, but the only type of freedom that Scott has is the freedom to annoy and oppress his superiors. Scott cannot handle being proven wrong and will probably attack Qrush’s character some more since he can’t question my logic. If Qrush’s reader audience will read this blog they will conclude the facts are entirely with Qrush and not with Scott Larsen. Game, Set, Match to Qrush. Qrush has learned plenty of new information about Scott Larsen and his true motives and in time may share some new predictions. Qrush is not planning on entering this field on a regular basis again (I have better things to do with my time than Scott does), but Qrush felt the need to clarify the accuracy of my postings with both the pros and cons questioning the intent of my blog. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on Qrush’s opinions and experiences and are proving to be more accurate every day in every way. They are intended give internet searchers the rest of the story on three very strange individuals who have the courage of their hypocrisies. Qrush supports free speech.

Merry Christmas Passport?

2004-12-25T06:23:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush, in the spirit of Christmas, has decided to take a hiatus from posting about Passport and its leaders.

During the last number of months, Qrush has provided a great deal of information about Passport by sharing facts, opinions, asking critical questions, and sharing occasional satire. Now its time to take a break and see how the minions respond. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I hope the Passport minions understand the importance and necessity of letting sleeping dogs lie, or this website will once again become “the gift that keeps on giving.”

Bo Short and Passport - The Missing Data?

2004-12-18T19:19:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush wonders why Bo Short of Passport is unwilling to disclose important data regarding Passport results to date. Passport has been in business now for three years, which is long enough to show at least a little bit of success. Think about it. How can an MLM recruit new members if it is unwilling or unable to share information as to the results likely to be expected? Qrush assumes that Bo Short owns a calculator and knows how to use it (add, subtract, etc.) so I believe Passport is able to share results but is unwilling to share results. It's too bad that after 3 years Bo Short is so embarrassed about the Passport results that he is ashamed to admit Passport has failed, no matter how you measure it.

When Bo Short talks about Quixtar or the MLM industry in general, he usually has diarrhea of the mouth, blabbing about all the problems with the industry, yet he never seems to apply his suggestions to Passport. Qrush believes this to be hypocrisy at its worst.

For example, Bo Short is quoted as saying, “I am not a fan of many companies within this industry. I see too many people spend too much money only to be disappointed in their results.” This sounds good but if Bo actually believed it he would disclose Passport information so that prospects would know what they are getting into so that they would not be disappointed. This lack of official Passport data also leaves lots of room for Passport Associates to exaggerate results since there is no official company literature stating average results. Is this intentional?

Bo Short also said, “Tell the truth. If someone asks you, ‘How much money are you making?’ do not say, ‘You wouldn't believe it if I told you. Simply tell the truth!” It appears here Bo is big on telling the truth, but again he doesn’t apply this to Passport recruiting tactics. If he did, he would be disclosing exactly how many active Passport Associates there are (including his definition of an active Associate) and he would be disclosing exactly how much money the average Associate earns (including how he has calculated this figure). Apparently Bo Short should be saying “hide the truth.”

And in a third example, Bo Short, critisizing the behavior of a Quixtar Diamond, said, "...Maybe this is why people follow blindly. They are asked to simply “...do it on total faith.” Well Bo, what facts do you supply a Passport prospect before they join? Absent of any Passport data, aren't you expecting a Passport prospect to join "on faith alone?" Is Qrush the only one that finds Bo's behavior to by hypocritical?

It seems Passport’s number one goal lately is to shut down the Qrush website to keep me quiet. I have been threatened with lawsuits and have even been physically threatened by its leaders. Instead of trying to shut down my website, why doesn’t Passport simply answer the questions I post?

Here are a few basic questions that Bo Short can work on answering if he wishes to gain any kind of respect in the MLM industry, unless of course, the answers to these questions make him the laughing stock of his industry.

1. How long do you stay with the sinking ship?

2. Will Bo speak honestly with IBO's about his debtload?

3. Will Bo speak honestly about his wife paying the bills?

4. What is the refund policy on the garage full of products?

5. Is Bo still actively looking for a buyer and where does that leave IBO's?

6. Why wasn't Bo honest about his pin working in Quixtar (for soooooo long)?

7. Can Bo Short still have character and leadership after so many questionable activities (I did not have sexual relations with that woman)?

8. Is anyone in Passport truly making money after expenses?

9. Why doesn't Bo speak honestly about his sales revenue?

10. Are other Passport IBO's tired of the fluff and looking for real data from Bo?

11. Who is the Sweat family and what are their intentions on their loan to Bo?

Qrush hopes that people out there considering joining Passport will first get a few questions answered and not blindly sign up on faith alone. And if you want additional information about Bo Short, you can find it here. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I expose Bo Short as someone who doesn’t want Passport prospects to know the truth about his failing company.

Passport's Dave and Mara Stone Possible MLM Frauds?

2004-12-17T14:52:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush believes Dave Stone must not have gotten the “cease fire” memo or maybe Dave just can’t help himself. A few days ago, Qrush said, in a good faith effort, Qrush wishes to again extend an olive branch to Dave Stone by refraining from posting about him and his Passport business and I expected Dave to refrain from posting about Quixtar and their LOS leaders and their businesses (this agreement was extended to others as well). Dave acknowledged on his internet blog on the same day that he would be a “good citizen” at 6:21pm, but then at 9:52pm he was back to his usual poor behavior by harassing 2 Quixtar LOS leaders.

Dave, at your age, Qrush recommends that you pay more attention to your Passport business, since it is probably not netting you more than $50/month, and pay less attention to your anti-Quixtar and anti-Qrush campaign. Remember Dave, Social Security is supposed to only be a supplement to retirement - and that’s assuming you have contributed to Social Security and will be getting a check. And it’s a good thing you hooked up with “Mara the meal ticket” and forced her to work all those long hours or you would probably be living out of trash cans at this point. That’s satire Dave – I know your dull brain doesn’t always get it so please don’t sue Qrush over that comment, plus I can’t be held responsible for the following reasons. My readers should know that Dave and Mara Stone have hired the law firm Dewey, Cheetum, and Howe to harass Qrush with a law suit but I won’t be silenced and I won’t give up my 1st Amendment right to free speech.

And on a related subject, Qrush and his website’s readers would really enjoy getting a rundown from Dave regarding Mara Stone’s MLM experience and subsequent financial success. Now that she is a Passport Conference Call Trainer and is being billed as someone the MLM community should listen to, it is important to better understand her credentials. After all, no one wants to take business advice from someone that’s a business failure. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I expose Dave and Mara Stone as possible frauds within the MLM industry.

Support Quixtar Qrush Against The Anti-Free Speech Terrorists

2004-12-16T16:38:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is working on opening a PayPal account for those of you who wish to financially support Qrush and this website. Since I’m being threatened with a lawsuit by my critics in an attempt to silence me, I figured it’s now time to start building a legal fund. That way, through legal discovery, I’ll have the financial ability to fully defend myself by exploring every nook and cranny of the businesses of those critics that come after me so that I can prove my opinions to be correct. When and if that day comes, we’ll finally get some questions answered. And if anyone has the phone number of the ACLU or one of those attorneys that work for free to protect 1st Amendment rights, please email me.

My critics don’t understand my satire, are upset that I have opinions that differ from theirs, and hate the questions that I raise, but as Qrush stated earlier, I won’t go away until my critics start being good MLM citizens. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I continue to defend my right to exercise my 1st Amendment rights of free speech.

Qrush Contacted by Ty Tribble of Passport?

2004-12-15T08:37:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush has finally been contacted via email by none other than Ty Tribble, the guy billed as Passport’s fastest growing Associate. Now maybe we can get some answers and clear up a few issues. As always, Ty’s email below is in blue.

I am sending you this email as a courtesy. Please remove any reference to Passport, Ty Tribble, Dave Stone, Brian Johnson, Bo Short, and their families from your website within 48 hours. If you do not comply I will go forward with a lawsuit. I have already spoken to my attorney and we believe there is cause to proceed with a lawsuit for all or some of the following:

Corporate defamation and/or product disparagement.
Harassment.
Tortious interference with business relations. Again, you have 48 hours to comply.

- Ty Tribble

First of all, Qrush assumes, based on Ty’s email, that he has permission from Passport, Bo Short, Brian Johnson and Dave Stone to represent them legally. Ty – if you don’t have permission from Passport and these guys to act on their behalf, you should call them up and apologize to them and then email me again and let me know that you are only acting on your own behalf.

Next, Qrush has no current plans to “remove any reference” regarding Passport, Ty Tribble, Dave Stone, etc., unless you can get the Supreme Court of the United States or the US Congress to eliminate the 1st Amendment. Qrush has the right of freedom of speech and the right to express opinions. And here is what is really amazing to Qrush. Bo Short, Ty Tribble, Brian Johnson, and Dave Stone have all created blogs and websites that disparage Quixtar, LOS leaders and their businesses, etc., and every time you get criticized for this behavior you stand behind the 1st Amendment and say it is your right to express your opinion. In fact, your disparaging remarks may go over the line and include corporate defamation, product disparagement, harassment, and tortuous interference. Why is it that you believe freedom of speech is only extended to you and your friends?

And even though Qrush can have any opinion I want, Qrush wishes to be as accurate as possible with the facts. Once, for example, Qrush formed an opinion regarding Scott Larsen’s personal life and my opinion was based on information I received that was found later to be inaccurate. When Scott emailed me and pointed out the inaccuracies, Qrush was happy to edit earlier posts in order to make them more accurate. Scott noticed the edits and emailed Qrush thanking me for my cooperation.

The same opportunity has always been available to you, Bo Short, Dave Stone, and Brian Johnson. If you believe I have stated facts that are incorrect and you are willing and able to prove these inaccuracies with real evidence to the contrary, I will certainly edit the inaccurate posts.

To be clear here, Qrush wishes to explain the difference between facts and opinions. If Qrush states that there are exactly 4 active Passport Associates and you can prove that this is incorrect, I’ll start using your number. This is an example of a fact. If Qrush states that the Passport business stinks, that is an opinion, and I’m not interested in changing my opinion.

With that said, and in a good faith effort, Qrush wishes to again extend an olive branch to you and the rest of the Passport blogging minions. I’ll refrain from posting about Passport, Bo Short, you, Dave Stone, and Brian Johnson, on the Qrush blog and I expect all of you to refrain from posting about Quixtar and their LOS leaders and their businesses. Additionally, if any of you guys wish to take down your site, I’ll reciprocate by removing all references to you from the Qrush site. Now how is that for fair play?

Qrush finds it interesting that the first and only email received from you threatens a lawsuit when all you needed to do is contact me to deal with this matter on friendlier terms. Don’t forget, Qrush was drawn into the blogging community because of the anti-Quixtar blogging behavior of you guys. Qrush simply mirrored your behavior. If you guys become model MLM citizens, concentrate on building your Passport businesses in a more positive way, Qrush doesn’t need to exist. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I continue to defend Quixtar against the anti-Quixtar forces while working to find ways to clean up the mud slinging within the MLM industry.

Bo Short and Passport a Deceptive Hoax?

2004-12-14T07:42:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush has discovered how Bo Short and a few of his minions have gotten out of their traditional jobs, and though they want you to believe Passport had something to do with this momentous event, there is actually another hidden reason.

A few high Profile Passport leaders, including Bo Short himself, have sent their wives back to work full time and made them responsible for the household bills in order to create the appearance that these guys have attained financial independence thru Passport. This behavior is certainly a deceptive hoax played on unknowing Passport Associates and prospects and at a minimum cruel to the participant’s wives.

Bo Short, the founder and ringleader of the Passport circus, sent his wife Sandy back to work full time in the real estate industry.

Following his lead, Brian Johnson had his wife Trisha obtain gainful employment as a 7th grade art teacher, and she is still working, even though she is due to have her baby on January 6, 2005, which is just 3 weeks away. Brian admits to delivering pizzas part time to supplement Trisha’s pay check, though he spends most of his time on community board chat rooms across the internet talking about how much he loves Bo Short.

And then there is Ty Tribble, who brags about having the fastest growing Passport team while he lounges around the house in his pajamas, yet his wife works so many hours Qrush suspects Ty may have forgotten her name, plus Ty has had to start up a home remodeling company with his father in law in order to supplement his wife’s pay check (even though Ty has just recently advised people to never get into a business with family due to the obvious complications and risks).

Next is Passport leader and trainer Dave Stone, who is another one of these “hang out in his pajamas all day long kind of guys,” who hopes Passport pays off for him and his wife Mara so that she can get out of her day job too. Now Qrush sees that Dave, in a desperate and hopeless move, is forcing Mara to teach new Passport Associates how to build the Passport business, even though Mara has no past success in the MLM industry.

So if you want to retire and give the appearance of being financially successful, just join Passport and send your wife to work. And if you want to read more about Bo Short's shady background, you can read more here. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I continue to show Bo Short and his minions what a waste of time Passport is, unless they need a hobby to fill their day while their wifes are at work.

Bo Short's Career After Passport Closes Down?

2004-12-13T14:00:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush believes all evidence points to Bo Short’s Passport closing the doors soon so Qrush wishes to assist Bo in figuring out a new job. Here is Qrush’s possible list of jobs Bo may wish to consider:

1. Politician: Bo can continue to spew lots of hot air and won’t be held accountable for any measurable results, just like he has been doing with his Passport business.

2. Fun House Operator at local amusement park: Bo is already comfortable being around mirrors since he created an entire smoke and mirrors business called Passport.

3. Snake Charmer: Since Bo has been selling snake oil products for 3 years now through Passport (such as Prostate Formula and Bone Builder Plus), he is probably comfortable around snakes.

4. Mr. Mom: Bo is actually already responsible for the child care and house chores since he sent his wife Sandy back to work full time in the real estate business.

5. Parasite Marketing Manager/Consultant: Bo has perfected parasite marketing techniques for his Passport business and is now ready to sell similar advice to other desperate companies willing to compromise their integrity for profits.

6. Home Security Consultant: Bo can leverage his paranoia about Quixtar being out to get him by giving advice to other weird and paranoid business owners as to how they can protect themselves from phantom monsters.

7. Reunite Dancing Penguins: Bo can get the old band back together (the original band included Bo Short, Eric Janssen, Scott Larsen) to work weddings, parties, etc., and can even add a few of the Passport groupies such as Brian Johnson, Dave Stone and Ty Tribble to the band as backup dancers. You can see the old band in action here: http://passport-jokey.blogspot.com/

As for advice for the Gang of 4, you are pretty much out of luck since you have even fewer skills than Bo Short and since they believe themselves to be even bigger victims of society. All Qrush can say here is that maybe you guys can take Brian Johnson’s lead and get your self a part time pizza delivery gig. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I continue to assist Bo Short and the Gang of 4 with ideas as to how to feed themselves.

Bo Short Keeping People in the Dark About Passport?

2004-12-10T18:59:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush sees that Bo Short still does not have sufficient courage to answer even the most basic questions about his Passport business. This type of behavior is morally wrong because it takes advantage of people by forcing Passport prospects to make business decisions while keeping them completely in the dark.

In fact, since no reasonable clear-thinking business person would ever get involved in a business such as Passport without sufficient information. Passport can only attract people that are desperate, have low self esteem, don’t care about results, and are willing to try any crazy scheme available – thus the Gang of 4 is born.

Here are a few basic questions that Bo Short can work on answering if he wishes to gain any kind of respect in the MLM industry, unless of course, the answers to these questions make him the laughing stock of his industry.

1. How long do you stay with the sinking ship?

2. Will Bo speak honestly with IBO's about his debtload?

3. Will Bo speak honestly about his wife paying the bills?

4. What is the refund policy on the garage full of products?

5. Is Bo still actively looking for a buyer and where does that leave IBO's?

6. Why wasn't Bo honest about his pin working in Quixtar (for soooooo long)?

7. Can Bo Short still have character and leadership after so many questionable activities (I did not have sexual relations with that woman)?

8. Is anyone in Passport truly making money after expenses?

9. Why doesn't Bo speak honestly about his sales revenue?

10. Are other Passport IBO's tired of the fluff and looking for real data from Bo?

11. Who is the Sweat family and what are their intentions on their loan to Bo?

And for those Passport minions that need a little cheering up, click here. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I continue to expose the truth about Passport, and at the same time try and fix Bo Short’s integrity.

Bo Short's Next Project?

2004-12-09T18:49:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush was reviewing the Bo Short Passport timeline and it got me thinking about Bo Short’s next move. And you can bet Bo’s next move has been planned out and that he is currently working on it. How does Qrush know this? Simple, I’m just looking at Bo’s past behavior to predict the future.

For example, when Bo knew the gig was up with all the damage he did within TIF, he immediately started secretly working on the details of Passport all the while pretending to be loyal to people that trusted him and put their faith in him at both TIF and Quixtar. Just look at the facts surrounding the timing.

October, 2001 – Bo leaves his under 4,000 PV business and resigns all $400 a month of income. (wow, what a sacrifice :) Bo sends in his resignation letter to Quixtar and TIF. Passport is "officially" formed.

December, 2001 – Passport ships it first product, just two months after Bo’s resignation from Quixtar. More about Passport's hidden costs here, about Passport possibly being for sale here, and about Bo's possible battle plan here.

So is it possible that Bo resigned from Quixtar in October and then began working on Passport? Only an idiot would believe that. Bo was shipping Passport products only 8 weeks after he resigned from Quixtar. Qrush doesn’t need to explain all the complications of launching a business such as Passport to prove the obvious – that Bo Short was secretly and unethically working on opening Passport while his friends and business associates in TIF trusted and put their faith in him, believing that Bo was looking out for their Quixtar business interests.

So Qrush is giving fair warning to the Gang of 4. Bo Short will drop you guys like a bad habit as soon as he launches the project he is secretly working on. Why did you guys think he has become so quiet and uninvolved in Passport? What a bunch of dummies.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I warn the Gang of 4 to get out of Passport while the getting is good.

Bo Short and Passport Harmful To The MLM Industry?

2004-12-08T21:24:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush knows that Bo Short set out to change the MLM industry with Passport, calling Passport “a different kind of biz,” and after 3 years of hard work, here is what he has produced:

1. Bo Short worried about products being expensive so he fixed this with Passport by not really offering any products at all. To date, he has only been able to launch 26 low quality generic products, and with names like Prostate Formula and Bone Builder Plus, I’m not sure anyone is standing in line to purchase any of the snake oil he is trying to sell.

2. Bo Short worried about a compensation plan being difficult to understand so he fixed this with Passport by creating a business in which no one after 3 years is even clearing $200/month. Bo needs a good shake here. He would probably favor a simple compensation plan that pays out $1/month than a complicated compensation plan that pays out hundreds or thousands a month.

3. Bo Short worried about an expensive training system with no real signs of results so he fixed this with Passport by not offering a training system, thereby virtually guaranteeing his minions would never see results. Training? Who needs it?

4. Bo Short worried about people going to meetings and leaving their families so he fixed this with Passport by having his minions stay at home, hoping prospects would find their website and contact them. In an industry where personal contact and building relationships is important, Bo fumbles again. Can you imagine an MLM company like Avon adopting a crazy strategy such as this?

5. Bo Short worried about information on the internet that may contradict statements made about the business so he fixed this with Passport by making sure the Gang of 4 learned how to spew negative statements about the competition and practice parasite marketing.

So what has Bo accomplished so far with Passport? Zip, zero, nada. He is in debt to his eyeballs, has severely harmed his reputation, and now believes morals and integrity can be measured on a sliding scale. Yes, Passport is certainly a different kind of biz. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I help the Passport morons realize that Passport is nothing more than a sinking ship.

Bo Short's and Passport's Predicament?

2004-12-07T21:04:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush continues to search for the truth with respect to Bo Short and his Passport hobby and realizes that Bo and his minions have some real serious problems. Bo can’t handle the truth coming out regarding any of his current or past business tragedies so he stays silent. So again, here are some critical issues that should make anyone run when they are approached about Passport.

1. Bo Short has never released any sales figures for Passport. (Because it is going backwards and it is embarrassing how bad it is)

2. Bo Short faked his diamondship by buying legs. (Somewhere between $60,000 to $100,000+)

3. Eric Janssen of Qblog worked with Bo Short as a stooge to promote his business. (Eric runs a supposedly neutral site that is actually Passport Central)

4. Scott Larsen (Involved in many lawsuits and mentally unstable) has written negative about Quixtar for years and Bo teamed up with him to drive disgruntle IBO’s to Passport.

5. Bo Short called into many Quixtar organizations and stated he would save the MLM industry. (Only a few rather slow IBO’s fell for that BS)

6. Bo Short appeared on Dateline and strongly resembled Al Gore the watermelon. (Green on the outside, but “red” to the core)

7. Bo Short and Dateline flopped, leaving Passport and Bo Short in a precarious position. (Unfulfilled promises to his Gang of 6 and huge debt load to the Sweat family)

8. Qrush enters the scene, calling Bo Short out on his mass deception. (Passport IBOs leak their shorts at the mere mention of Qrush’s name :)

9. Bo Short backtracks on his character assassinations when he realized that men in glass houses should not throw rocks. (I believe Sandy is making enough to keep the mortgage paid)

10. Stay tuned as we watch the smoke and mirrors Passport business decide what to do with the truth. (Qrush expects it to get worse before Bo Short repents)

And if you want to read more about Bo Short’s past, you can find it here:
Bo Short's real timeline?: see Quixtar Qrush Provides the Real Bo Short Timeline?
Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I continue to expose the truth about Passport, no matter how badly Bo wants it kept under a rock.

Passport and Bo Short's Uniquely Bad Business?

2004-12-06T17:42:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush visited Bo Short’s Passport site recently and sees that Bo Short is making the following ridiculous claims. As always, the information from the Passport site is in blue:

Passport is a unique business on several fronts:

1. Best use of the internet
2. Best of innovative marketing
3. Best of business ownership

Unchallenged, Bo Short and the Gang of 4 can make any outrageous claim they wish, but as my readers know, Qrush doesn’t tolerate claims of success by Passport’s minions without facts backing up those claims. So let’s take a looks at these claims.

Passport claims that their business is the “best use of the internet.” I’m not sure exactly what Passport is claiming here with this vague statement but let’s look at the bottom line. Passport’s entire product line consists of only 27 products that can be ordered online (and with products such as Bone Builder and Prostate Formula, I’m not sure the Passport product line appeals to very many people). Considering most families probably purchase a few thousand different products, Qrush concludes that Passport’s poor product selection translates to “almost no use of the internet.”

Next, Passport claims that their business is the “best of innovative marketing.” What innovative marketing? Passport is certainly the best at parasite marketing (they find Quixtar IBO’s, spread anti-Quixtar rhetoric, and attempt to convert them to Passport). And parasite marketing in neither new nor innovative. Lots of poorly managed companies just like Passport resort to trashing their competition with parasite marketing when they have nothing good to say about themselves.

The last silly claim that Passport makes is that they are “best of business ownership.” Qrush would like to know exactly how Bo Short measures this. Passport, even after being in business for 3 years, has never been able to prove that even one Passport Associate is netting more than $200/month.

Bo Short certainly got one fact correct. Passport is definitely “a unique business on several fronts,” but here’s Qrush’s list of what makes Passport unique:

Worst use of the internet
Best at parasite marketing
Best of hobby ownership
Worst at training
Worst product selection
Worst management team
Worst financial stability

If Bo Short or the Gang of 4 believes Qrush is wrong regarding any of these points, I encourage you to send verifiable facts that prove me wrong. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I continue to force Passport to put up or shut up.

Bo Short's Passport Conference Calls a Waste of Time?

2004-12-03T11:00:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush has already received a number of emails from former Passport members who have decided to share their appalling Passport experience with Qrush. Thanks to all who have already emailed me. Qrush has decided to help focus the information requested by providing a set of questions. The first set of questions concerns Passport conference calls. Again, please email me at qrusheveryone@yahoo.com and Qrush thanks you in advance from your time. And here are the questions:

1. Prior to quitting Passport, how many Passport conference calls did you call in on to listen and/or participate?

2. How many Passport conference calls did you try and call in on but the conference call was cancelled?

3. Did you ever participate in a Passport conference call with more than 10 participants?

4. Was the Passport conference call Moderator ever anyone other than Bo Short, Dave Stone or Ty Tribble (Qrush is actually hoping Bo Short hasn’t become desperate enough to allow part time pizza delivery boy Brian Johnson moderate one of the conference calls)?

5. When Dave Stone or Ty Tribble acted as Moderator, did they begin the conference call by disclosing that though they are billed as the fastest business builders in Passport, they actually don’t even net more than $200/month after expenses and that they have actually never been successful in the mlm industry?

6. How much of the conference call was devoted to explaining how to convert Quixtar IBO’s to Passport and what were the typical tactics Passport recommended?

7. How many of your phone bills were over $200/month due to your Passport activities?

8. Did the Passport conference calls ever go beyond their original 4 topics before cycling back to the beginning?

9. When Bo Short was the Moderator, did the usual Passport groupies take up the first 10 minutes kissing Bo’s arse by praising and thanking him?

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I expose what a waste of time Passports conference calls are.

Qrush Needs Former Passport Associates?

2004-12-02T02:23:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is gather information on the hundreds of people that signed up for Passport and quit. Qrush estimates over 1,000 people have been run through the Passport grinder and spit out as mincemeat. Pretty impressive when you consider they go by the Gang of 4. That means that there are at least 996 dissatisfied customers. If you were ever involved with Passport then Qrush needs to hear your story. I am working on an exposing look inside of the failed Passport utopian dream. Please provide bonus checks figures, money spent, broken promises tendered, and number of people in your group that were inactive. If Bo Short will not release the facts on his crazy Passport venture then Qrush will. Please email me at qrusheveryone@yahoo.com and Qrush thanks you in advance for your time. The truth must come out on the MLM Badboys. In the Cluetrain Manifesto it states that companies that will not communicate the facts on their business will be left behind. Here is a major clue as to why Bo Short’s Passport is in the pits. This may take some time to do right so be patient my reader audience. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I help the Passport morons get a clue.

Bo Short's Passport the Ultimate Dream Stealer?

2004-12-01T06:50:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is posting on the incredible bias displayed by Bo Short’s stooge Qblog’s Eric Janssen in a post that is a clear example of the real Eric Janssen. Eric Janssen is a serious business basher that actually views free enterprise as stealing very similar to Karl Marx. The scary thing is that he claims to represent the thoughts of the average American’s about Quixtar. Qblog the average American is not a pinko-commie-bastage and you represent the average American view about Quixtar just like Hugh Hefner represents the average view about family and marriage. Qblog, why do you continue the facade? Why not admit you work for Bo Short and save yourself the headache of being humiliated weekly? Qblog’s Eric Janssen post is in blue with Qrush’s to follow.

Let's make a deal
Hey Mr. IBO.
How's it going? Good, good! Glad to hear it.

Eric, how has it been going for you lately? Your chat room has dwindled down to four people who have four identities each and you guys repeat the same mindless babble. When are you guys going to do something productive with your lives? The Gang of 4 must be getting sick of posting on your blog under various identities only to see their piddly Passport venture collapse around them. Why didn’t they stop throwing rocks when Qrush warned them? What fools they are, but that has always been their track record. Eric, you really need to find some new friends and use your talents on something way more productive.

Hey, I was searching for Quixtar books on Amazon today and noticed a lot of titles about Dream Stealing. Apparently, folks in Quixtar are mighty concerned about having their dreams stolen and are taking appropriate steps to protect themselves from the Dream Thieves.

Eric, folks in any business are concerned with negative, sarcastic, given-ups like your self. Why do negative people feel the need to criticize others who do the work? Eric, why all the criticism of Quixtar when they actually make money and release sales figures while Bo Short loses money and releases no data? If you were an honest critic and not a Bo Short employee, Bo would be ripped up and down for his lack of results and known hypocrisy. Bo Short is a great example of a man who grew cynical and faithless by using his abilities to manipulate others instead of serving them. If Bo Short has truly helped even one person make money at Passport, then why doesn’t he march him or her forward to prove Qrush wrong? Qrush will tell you why, because there is no one making any money, which make Bo Short the biggest dream stealer of them all. If you get involved with Bo Short, you will end up like his three remaining sidekicks Ty Dribble, Dave Stoner, and Brain “Dead” Johnson. There dreams are dead through association with a cynical old man Bo Short.

Yeah, crazy isn't it? Anyway, because I'm such a sensitive guy I thought I'd make a deal with you to, you know, help you sleep better at night... so you wouldn't worry about those Dream Thieves. The deal is: I promise not to steal your dreams, or the dreams of any other IBO, if you promise not to steal my money or the money of anyone else.

Eric, perhaps you need a definition of stealing? When you steal something from someone it is taking something against their will. Like at gunpoint or knifepoint. If you lost money at Quixtar, why don’t you just admit that you didn’t do the work? No tape or book will help a man who has decided to be a cynic. Your upline ought to accuse you of stealing their time by that faulty logic. Anyone who uses their upline’s time and gas money and then quits by listening to a commie like you should be accused of stealing. Qrush states unequivocally that anyone who invested money in Quixtar and quit has no one to blame but themselves unless they are choosing to follow the Karl Marx view of the world. Karl Marx stated that free enterprise was stealing and this sound extremely close to what Eric Janssen is teaching. Eric, ultimately no one can steal anyone’s dream, because it cannot be stolen only thrown away. Bo Short threw away his dreams by selling out his character and Qrush advises that others learn a valuable lesson from this waste of a life.

Good deal huh? Shake on it? Alright. Excellent. Glad we had this little conversation. And that deal's open to all your IBO buddies too. Spread the word. Just trying to help. One IBO at a time.

Eric, Qrush is glad we had this conversation as well. Perhaps you could pass this onto Bo Short and his Gang of Misfits. Tell them that Qrush promises not to steal their dream, since I can’t anyway, when Bo and his Boys stop attacking Quixtar. Bo Short has so much work to do in the next couple of months just to stay solvent, that it is probably a good idea for him to smoke the peace pipe with Qrush. Oh well, that is probably wishful thinking on Qrush’s part, because Bo Short has failed to do the right thing every time he has had a chance. Eric, the Quixtar communities both pro and con are still waiting for the truth. Will Eric Janssen tell the truth or will he continue to invest hours of his life to support a known failure in business like Bo Short and his Gang of Misfits. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of “As the Passport Ship Sinks.” Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I seek to understand why Eric Janssen continues to support the failed Passport miscreants.

Analysis of Bo Short's Passport Sinking Ship?

2004-11-30T07:20:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is releasing my opinion on why the Passport business ship is sinking. Perhaps my reader audience can email me with others that I didn’t even think of. Qrush will list his top ten reasons why Passport failed.

10. Bo Short selected Dave Stone to be one of the teachers on his Passport conference calls even though Dave has never achieved any success in any MLM at any time.

9. Bo Short selected Ty Tribble to be one of the teachers on his Passport conference calls even though Ty has never met an MLM he hasn’t signed up in and failed at.

8. Bo Short selected Scott Larsen as an expert interviewer to broadcast his Passport views even though everyone knows Scott has a screw loose and has no credibility.

7. Brian Johnson admitted that he spent over $2000 dollars in Passport and has had more success delivering pizza’s part time than he has in the Passport business.

6. Eric Janssen demanded a bigger salary from Bo Short if he had to deal with Qrush smacking him around mentally all the time.

5. Bo Short admitting to faking his diamondship after his Passport groupies deified him as a model of integrity.

4. Bo Short admitting that his group was 250 people at diamond which made him the smallest system diamond in Quixtar’s history.

3. The products are low quality and no name due to Bo Short’s lack of creativity.

2. The training system developed by Bo Short would quickly turn Albert Einstein into an idiot.

1. Bo Short is an egotistical, non-servant, yellow-bellied, Benedict Arnold loving, hypocritical, political animal that doesn’t know when to cry “Uncle” even when he is whipped by a person named “Qrush”

This concludes Qrush’s Top 10 reasons why Bo Short and Passport are quickly fading into history as yet another over promoted, under planned and under worked MLM. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and are meant as satire to further humiliate a man Short on integrity.

Qblog's Eric Janssen & The Bo Short Passport LoveFest?

2004-11-29T07:19:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is back from a great Thanksgiving break. Thank you Qrush readers for all the encouraging emails sent about my site. Qrush appreciates the growing band of Quixtar IBO’s that are sick and tired of the “Unholy Trinities” attempt promote Passport at Quixtar’s expense. Qrush will repeat yet again, that I would gladly go away when the Passport Gang of Misfits admit to their errors and repent. Barring this, Qrush will continue to expose the Qblog and Passport partners. Eric Janssen truly feels the Quixtar crowd is not smart enough to see his hypocritical nature. The definition Qrush has for Eric Janssen is “The haunting fear that somebody somewhere in Quixtar is enjoying their business.” The latest Qrush post is exposing how ridiculously positive Eric is to Ty Tribble. Who in the late great planet earth is Ty Tribble and why is Eric Janssen treating him like some MLM guru? Ty admits that he has never made any real money in MLM and is on at least his third network. Do they give medals for how many MLM’s you sign up for? Eric, truth would quickly end being stranger than fiction on your site, once we got as used to it. Qblog’s three posts are in blue with Qrush’s comments to follow.

Welcome Neighbor
Found a new blog today that is focused on Quixtar, Bo Short and Passport. It's brand new so let's see what happens. I welcome all bloggers.

Eric, I guess what you meant to say here is that you welcome all Passport bloggers. You have gone on record as stating that you don’t like Quixtar IBO’s blogging unless they are not involved in the training system. Is the reason you don’t like IBO’s on system blogging because they will make you arguments look silly? Qrush welcomes all bloggers and wonders why no one has even attempted to argue my scathing logical rhetoric on the known foibles of Passport. Bo Short is a poor man’s idealist – One who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage concludes that it will also make a better soup. Eric Janssen when will you develop a conscience – the inner voice that tells Qblog that Qrush is watching – and admit your association with Bo Short?

Tribble No More
So another blogger about Quixtar has vanished. In this case I have no doubt that Quixtar had absolutely nothing to do with the disappearance of this site. Rather, I feel it is a case of some guy starting up a site and quickly losing interest. Maintaining and updating a site is no easy task. It takes a special type of person to do this consistently without any tangible compensation. Here is Ty's business site but you won't find any "news" there either. Oh well. Aimee and I are the only Quixtar bloggers on the entire Web with any sort of consistent updates. It gets lonely at the top ;o)

Eric, now you are saying good-bye to Ty. Why no tough questions as to why he quit blogging? Or if he was using his blog site for google bombing? Qrush knows why, but was hoping you would like to share the truth with the rest of our Quixtar audience. Eric, if you truly wanted dialogue on the MLM industry then you would befriend Qrush and not try to minimize the voice of decency. Ty Tribble has plenty of experience in the MLM industry – Experience is a series of failures for Ty Tribble. Every failure teaching Ty that he will fail yet again.

New Blog on the Block
Looks like there is now another blog about MLM. The cleverly named MLM Blog is the second blog effort by Ty, a Passport Associate.

Eric, that is a clever name? MLM blog? If someone was in the computer industry then it would be clever to call it COMPUTERblog? You really have to get out more Eric.

This effort seems to be more dedicated than his last blog attempt so we'll see how it shapes up. It's definitely off to a good start and my only complaint is that it frames linked sites (pull out the Web crucifix!) I have no complaints.

Qrush has some complaints. Why does Ty call it MLMblog and yet spend over 80% of his post bashing Quixtar? Oh that’s right, Qrush remembers now, this is Ty’s flashing red light where people can contact Ty about Passport out of the blue. Ty pull your head out of Eric’s arse and take look at your sorry life. Ty, you are following Bo Short? The whole Bo Short conference call is designed so that a man (Bo) with no money, can state that he is charging no money, to brag to people about his experience with other people's money, to people that will never make any money.

Good job Ty and welcome back to the blogging elite. Since the MLM Whatever Blog seems to have stalled there are now only two, count 'em-TWO, blogs about Quixtar and/or MLM on the planet. W0W!

Eric, Qrush is happy to announce that there is plenty more than two blogs on Quixtar. You did an excellent job of promoting Passport yet again and your employer Bo Short is very proud of you. (That was sarcasm for our slow Gang of 4 friends) I wonder why the Quixtar diamond blogs have not been properly welcomed like Ty Tribbles pathetic blogging attempts? Perhaps Eric Janssen felt threatened by the truth coming out from Quixtar and displaying the lies and deceit of the “Unholy Trinity.” Eric you are busted yet again. Why does a pitiable Passport joke get so much publicity from an alleged neutral Quixtar site? Qrush knows why and so does my reader audience. Bo Short assigned himself to lead Passport and teach by example to the broke, lack of character, talentless, Gang of 4, that lack of character and talent still equals broke. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I seek to help Eric Janssen recover his composure and admit the truth.

Quixtar Qrush Wishes the "Unholy Trinity" & Gang of 4 a Happy Thanksgiving?

Quixtar Qrush would like to wish all my various readers both pros and cons a happy Thanksgiving. Qrush would like to take this time to thank all of my fans and critics for allowing me to have so much fun while picking apart illogical arguments and sorry business propositions. The Thanksgiving for the "Unholy Trinity" and the Gang of 4 is a double thanks because they can rest happy in the fact that Qrush will not expose any more of their misbehavior over the holiday. C'mon Qrush has a moral compass and would never steal the joy of spending time with family just to prove a point. So here's to you Bo Short, Eric Janssen, Scott Larsen, Ty Tribble, Dave Stone, and Brian Johnson and any other person who dreamed of Passport bliss, have a happy Thanksgiving and gear up for continued mental anguish after the holiday. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences that the Passport Gang needs an extended mental break from the severe beating they have abosorbed since August.

Bo Short's Passport vs. Dexter Yager's Quixtar?

2004-11-24T06:50:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush has volunteered to help Qblog’s Eric Janssen learn more about his employer Bo Short. Qrush in my never ending quest for truth in advertising will eventually break the stubborn Bo Short of his will to resist the facts. Qblog’s comments are in blue with Qrush’s to follow.

Is the "Bo Short" name marketable?
Do a Google search for Quixtar. Go ahead, I'll be here when you get back. Ok, welcome back. Did you notice all the Passport ads on the right side of the page? Did it look like this? My question, to no one in particular, is why do they advertise the Bo Short name? It's almost like it's not the Passport business, but the Bo Short business and I think that's potentially bad business for a couple of reasons.

Eric, my you find a million different ways to continually bring up a broke business man and his flailing enterprise Passport. Qrush would like to thank you in advance for pointing out how parasitic in nature the Google ads being run by Passport are. Passport would have no one in their entire enterprise if they were not falsely bashing the Quixtar communities to steal Quixtar IBO’s. Bo Short had a marketable name in Amway once, when it was believed he was a model of integrity and American values. Bo Short hoped to capitalize on this image as well as his Dateline appearance to steal more Quixtar IBO’s. Bo Short ended up with an embarrassing Al Gore type performance on Dateline and a shattered visage of a business.

First of all, when you so closely associate your business with an individual and their name (Martha Stewart for instance) then your success or failure is (in part) tied to the individual. What if, God forbid, Bo Short gets caught smoking crack or something. Then the ad, with Bo Short's name attached, becomes an instant liability.

Bo Shorts credibility was permanently ruined when he: (pick any of the following)

Bought multiple legs to fake a diamond pin spending over $60,000 plus.
Admitted that his group was less than 250 people at the diamond level.
Developed his parasitic marketing campaign which created his MLM Bad Boy image.
Denied borrowing money from the Sweat family.
Refused to release sales data that would refute his many critics’ claims of a smoke and mirrors enterprise.
Continued to confiscate tool profits even though he stated he knew it was wrong, since he no longer qualified for the pin level that he faked.
Started character assassinating his former friends in an attempt to pay his debts.

Secondly, on a philosophical level, I believe that a bit of Bo Short worship could develop. I stress "could." I see it in Quixtar. I see people almost worship some of the Diamonds and mindlessly follow every command. It happens with Dexter Yager in the group I was involved with. Now, my concern is that Bo Short gets set up as a sort of Passport version of Dexter Yager. I'm not saying that Bo is anything like Dexter, but my point should be obvious.

Eric, do not worry about any Bo Short worship going on. The Gang of 4 has had their fill of the deceptive tactics of Bo Short to keep the focus off of the real issues. Qrush has spoken to many ex-Passport associates and the story is always the same. Bo Short and his cronies have oversold and way under-delivered. The reason no one in Passport ever made any money is their training system was non-existent. Bo Short attempted to have the blind lead the blind and they did, right into the nearest quagmire. Eric, do not worry about Bo Short ever being like Dexter Yager. Dexter Yager actually built a group and trained people on how to be winners. Bo Short never built a group and trained people how to be whiners.

And then there's the last point I guess. Who is Bo Short? Do people really know who he is? Maybe his name is widely known in MLMs but I'd never heard of him before my troubles with our upline (read the archives). Anyway, just thoughts on a Saturday morning while sipping my coffee. Happy weekend.

Eric, Bo Short is a has-been that threw away a promising career by an overzealous ego and an under-developed character. Bo Short is yet another unconscionable story of the effects of a man who spent too much time reading his own press clippings and not enough time serving others. Leadership is not the flashy speaker on stage that is all style and no substance. Speakers who can talk the talk, but not walk the walk qualify for showmanship awards and not leadership awards. Bo Short was a showman than never was honest with himself about his severe lack of leadership ability. The price of this oversight was an embarrassing scenario where his continued sins are broadcast to the whole MLM community until he repents of this egregious behavior and ask for forgiveness. The MLM community is a forgiving group and would be more than happy to start Bo Short back on a book and tape program designed to reform his character and ego. Qrush recommends the next MLM monitor his volume to ensure Bo earns his pin levels in the future. A man who will cheat himself out of the sacrifice inherent in any true victory only cheats his own character development which is necessary to handle success. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and are not meant to hurt Bo Shorts feelings. Qrush believes that a person will change only when they are brutally honest with themselves and since Bo Short’s ego will not allow this to happen; Qrush chose to assist in this task.

Bo Short, Eric Janssen and Basic Economics?

2004-11-23T07:26:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is compelled to expose the partnership between Qblog and Bo Short. Qblog’s Eric Janssen continues to deny the partnership between Eric and Bo, but Qrush is shining light on the truth. The laughable article below displays what a liberal looney Eric is and how much in love with Bo Short he is. Eric’s comments are in blue with Qrush’s to follow.

Rational Thinker
60 Minutes aired a segment last night about cars, SUVs and fuel economy. The story was basically asking whether Detroit could make SUVs more eco-friendly by improving gas mileage. Basically, Detroit says no and the environmentalists say yes. Detroit's line is that consumers won't buy the modified SUVs and the environmentalists say they will. Who's right? Who knows.

Eric, the customer is always right and if there is not a huge demand for a product then the manufacturer will not make it. If there is a huge demand and the big manufacturer will not produce it, then a smaller or new competitor will fill that niche market. Let me help your rational thinking young Mr. Eric Janssen. The customer is always right in a true free enterprise system, because they are the one’s paying the money. If it is not right, then no money would change hands, unless there was coercion.

Then they discussed some of the methods employed by the environmentalists to force Detroit to improve fuel efficiency. Lobby congress for tougher restrictions. Appeal to the consumer. Directly pressure Detroit to modify their vehicles.

Eric, you have picked an excellent example for Qrush to teach you basic economics. The environmentalists do not have the support of the masses of car buyers in this example. Since they still demand there opinion be law, instead of the market, they utilize coercion through government intervention and direct pressure on the manufacturers. When will the sorry liberals learn that people have a right to make our own choices and we don’t need bleeding heart liberals to make our choices for us?

That's when it hit me. Why don't the environmentalists just build their own damn fuel efficient car? If they know so much about what people want and what's best for the consumer then they should spend their money to make their own SUVs. Then, if the consumer really wants it, he'll buy it and will ultimately force Detroit to follow suit because Detroit wants to remain competitive. This method uses the marketplace to enact change instead of legislation or propaganda.

Eric, good job my boy. Now you are stumbling across truth. If the environmentalists feel so strong about the potential market for an environment friendly vehicle, then let them build it and see if the customers will come. If they predict incorrectly on their potential venture, then the people will not come and they learn a valuable lesson. The lesson learned is that it is much easier to pontificate about the great things you would do, than it is to actually implement these great ideas and satisfy customers.

So, how does this relate to Quixtar? Well, it occurred to me that using the marketplace as a tool for change is exactly why Bo Short founded Passport.

Eric, yet another fabulous example of a free enterprise example and how it relates to the MLM industry. Bo Short believed he had a better idea on how to run an MLM. He borrowed heavily and developed a strategy. He boasted loudly that he had the solution to all the problems in MLM. Bo even hired or befriended stooges like Eric Janssen and Scott Larsen to help magnify the message. The market would now be the final arbiter on whether Bo Short had truly solved the problems in the MLM industry.

While I don't know all of Bo's motives for starting up Passport, he has professed that enacting positive change within the MLM industry was one of the primary ideas behind Passport's creation. Love him or hate him, he is the most accomplished and visible critic of Quixtar/Amway and for that I believe he deserves some amount of respect.

Eric, Bo Short has been running his own MLM for three years now. If the professed changes were what the customers in MLM were looking for, they would have beaten a path to Bo Short’s door. Instead, the Bo Short Passport venture is one of the biggest fiascos in MLM history. Bo Short has developed the image as an MLM Bad Boy for his Parasitic Marketing Campaign and his business is down to the Gang of 4. Any way you slice it, Passport is a failure because it did not satisfy the customers need. Eric, you may argue that the customer should not need to buy books, tapes and seminars, but the market belies that fact. Bo Short made a prediction as to what the MLM industry needed and fell flat on his face. There is no shame in failure and Qrush respects anyone who will attempt to improve the MLM industry, but what I don’t respect is attacks on other leaders who have proven by their results to know much more about the MLM industry than Bo Short. Bo Short’s character can live with the failure, but it won’t survive the constant finger pointing and blaming others for his hideous lack of business results.

No, I'm not advocating Passport. My opposition to the MLM way of doing business remains. However, I am a rational thinker who tries to understand things, even if I may not agree with them. For some reason a light bulb clicked on last night and I saw Passport in a new light. It's still an MLM, but maybe, just maybe, it's a better MLM that will force Ada to follow suit if it wants to remain competitive. Now, where's the keys to my SUV? I need to go for a drive.

Eric, when will you admit that you are advocating Passport? How many more positive articles on Qblog about one of the biggest MLM failures must I display to help you cough up the truth. Qblog is never this postive to anyone in Quixtar and yet he gushes love and support for the pitiable Bo Short. Why is that? Qrush helped explain the Fall of Passport to you and Qrush hopes that you will now use more rational thinking in your post. Eric, do you still see Passport in a new light or do you see them being flushed down the toilet like a used piece of toilet paper. Anyone who wishes to succeed in the MLM industry must realize that the Bo Short Passport fiasco was caused by only giving lip service to training. Good training cost money and the only long term successful MLM’s have utilized training to train, educate, and motivate their respective teams. Instead of bashing training, perhaps the critics should use the Passport example as a wake up call on their own thinking.

The Quixtar training systems are the recognized best in the world. The training organizations are so competent that other unethical MLM’s will steal Quixtar IBO’s for their skills learned in the training programs. Passport has failed and now the liberals have a chance to learn a lesson. Instead of making MLM’s easy Qrush believes a great leader will teach the organizations the skill sets to win in today’s challenging environment. If an IBO wants to believe he can have it all without doing any work, then Quixtar can point to the sorry story of Bo Short and his utopian Passport mirage. In free enterprise, you typically get what you paid for and Bo Short’s training amounted to diddley squat. Bo Short cannot teach accomplishments to others, because he has not truly succeeded himself. What a shame that such a promising young man has grown up to be an embittered old scrooge. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I seek to reform a young man who is leaning hard to the left.

Bo Short & Qblog The Passport Pariah?

2004-11-22T11:12:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is releasing more evidence of the hypocritical neutrality of Qblog’s Eric Janssen. Eric expects the Quixtar community to believe that he is a neutral blogger that just happens to love to talk about Quixtar enough to dedicate 40 hours plus per week. Qrush and the rest of the Quixtar crowd are not falling for this B.S. Qblog’s comments are in blue with Qrush’s to follow.

What is Passport?
Some MLM and anti-MLM circles have mentioned Passport (not to be confused with Passport, the Microsoft .NET initiative). I think I've made myself pretty clear about my position on Quixtar, Amway and other MLMs but I'd like to mention Passport specifically.

Eric, yes you would like to single out Passport for some praise since Bo Short is funding the bill on your ideologically garbage website. Qblog made himself clear on his views of Quixtar and now must praise Passport to begin leading IBO’s into the web of lies of the “Unholy Trinity.”

I know very little about Passport except that it was started by ex-Amway Diamond Bo Short. I believe that the basic business is pretty much like every MLM with the exception being that tools and promotional materials are not "forced" onto participants the way they are in Quixtar/Amway. I may be wrong but it seems that pretty much every other aspect of Passport is classic MLM.

Eric, there is a significant difference between Passport and any successful MLM. In Passport they had a plan to deflect criticism of the successful people by designing such a stupid marketing plan that there would be no successful people. Eric, no one is forced in Quixtar to buy tools and if an IBO does, they do so freely for the valuable information available on the material. What a biased statement that was PeeWee Patsy Eric Janssen.

Now, back when we were having some issues with our upline, by some odd set of circumstances I got in touch with Bo Short. I spoke with him on the phone for maybe 45 minutes about our situation and some of the perceived problems with Quixtar. He really is a nice guy, very friendly, genuine and straightforward. He only mentioned Passport briefly to illustrate why he left Amway. What I remember most from our conversation is that Bo never once hinted that I should join Passport nor did he try to push the business on me in any way.

Eric, Qrush loves the way you lied about how you met Bo Short “of intelligence.” I’m sure Bo Short “of character” never mentioned the benefits of his business because there are none. How did you get his number unless it was from Bo Short “of integrity” parasitic websites? Why is this concept of the flashing red light doing Bo Short "of associates" advertising so hard for the Passport Gang of 4 to understand? Qblog, perhaps Bo Short realized what a wimp you were to make your wife build the business while you mocked her and didn’t bother even contacting you. It gets bad when you don't even qualify for Passport.

So, what do I think of Passport? I've said this before. An MLM is an MLM. You can put lipstick on a pig but that don't make it a prom date. I believe that the MLM business model is fundamentally flawed for reasons I've stated here before. I also believe in human nature and while I hope for the best, I have a gnawing suspicion that if Passport hangs around for 40+ years like Amway, it will end up experiencing the same AMO and BSM problems that plague Amway. Money has a way of corrupting people and there is BIG money in motivational tools.

Eric, Passport will not be around this time next year let alone 40 years from now. What would you rather have? A business that trains you to win with proven results at a reasonable price or a free training system that after three years has helped zero people succeed financially? No one is even making $500/month after expenses after three years. What a joke of a training system and support Bo Short “of results” has provided for Passport associates.

Anyway, if you're interested in joining Passport I suggest you do lots of research first. I make the same suggestion about Quixtar. Don't sign anything unless you know exactly what you are getting into. Ask lots of questions. Keep asking until you know the answers or someone in the organization refuses to answer them. If and when you start getting non-answers to your questions then I just suggest that you ask yourself if it's really worth getting in business with someone who doesn't want an informed partner.

Eric, who said anybody was interested in joining Passport? This is yet more evidence to the length Eric will go to advertise for his secret admirer/boss. Eric, Qrush appreciates you telling people to not sign up unless they know exactly what they are getting into with the Passport scam. If people knew the truth about Passport, no one would sign up again unless Bo Short “of data” released some information that proved any of Qrush’s points wrong. Think about it, if Qrush is really making up false allegations then just release the incredible sales results that prove Passport is booming. If Bo Short “of answers” continues to dodge the questions then ask yourself is it really worth getting into business with someone who doesn’t want an informed partner. Thank you Eric, Qrush couldn’t have said it better myself you Passport Patsy. Here is just a short list of questions that need to be answered before anyone with any clue about MLM business would have answered before joining Bo Short “of money.”

Is Passport growing year to year? Please provide the gross sales for the three years that Passport has existed. If Passport bozo’s give you the runaround on this question ask them why they have not released this data.
Is Bo Short’s Passport business debt free? Don’t just take their word for it, Qrush continues to receive reports that the Sweat family loaned Bo Short “of funds” $450,000 to start Passport.
How many active ordering associates does Passport have? Do not just let them rattle off a number ask for documentation from their website. If there are not many active ordering associates you could be signing up into a sinking ship. The cash flow of a business is very important regardless of what Passport pinheads will tell you.
How many people in the three years of the Passport MLM are averaging over $500/month in net income? If they will not show you month to month checks then do not believe them.
If Bo Short is a man of character, then why did he admit to buying a couple of his legs to fake a diamond pin and qualify for tool income that he did not earn? Do not let Bo Short use the argument, “Well everyone else was doing it.” Men of character fix the problem when they see it, not after their business collapses. Men of character would never use the argument that everyone was doing it.

That's all I got right now. It's really hard to find quality info about Quixtar on the Web and it's even harder to find anything out about Passport. If you know of some sources of info about this new MLM then please pass it along to me. Thanks.

Eric, feel free to link on the right hand margin of your site to Qrush. This will help potential associates Get the Facts on Passport. If you are truly neutral on Passport then why do you not link to anyone that has information about Passport? Aren’t you supposed to be a consumer advocate? Qblog's continued defense of Passport is helping Quixtar IBO's see Eric Janssen in his true colors red and yellow. Bo Short is convicted by his own Patsy's words on this post and is a qrushing testament to the failure of Bo and Passport. Bo Short “of principles” is nearing the end of his MLM career and many in the Quixtar community would love to be invited to the capsizing party. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and another embarrassing post by a young man with whose association are falling Short “of the mark.”

Bo Short's Passport & Ty Tribble's Flashing Red Light?

2004-11-19T02:27:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush in my continuing effort to convey the truth on the Gang of Misfits and Bo Short has decided to teach Ty Tribble yet another lesson in logical thinking. It is no wonder Ty Tribble is broke and has to take odd jobs to meet his debt load. Ty Tribble’s comments are in blue with Qrush’s to follow.

Passport and Quixtar Side by Side
Certain Quixtar IBO's continue to whine about Passport stealing IBO's from their business. Instead of looking at why IBO's are leaving, they are focusing their efforts on spam and story fabrication. As I look back on my first 18 months with Passport, one thing stands out. I have never once asked a Quixtar IBO to look at or sign up with Passport. Not once! I have never approached a Quixtar IBO about Passport. Not one time! Interestingly, more than 100 times, Quixtar IBO's have approached me.

Ty, your lack of understanding of even the basic premises of this argument continues to astound Qrush. Nature abhors a moron and you have really upset Nature. Ty states that he has never asked anyone to signup into Passport and that Quixtar IBO’s are coming to him. How are they hearing about you, Ty the imbecile? The answer is from your parasitic advertising website. That is like a prostitute with a bright flashing red light telling the policeman that she never solicited sex with any party. They just came on their own to her room unasked. Ty’s whole site is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.

Here are three reasons why:
Products: Passport has 27, Quixtar has a million. Yet, the average Quixtar IBO loses money every month while the average Passport associate does not. Quixtar prices are 2-3 times the prices of comparable Passport products. See Price Comparison. I'm not sure that a million products that are priced 2-3 times higher than the rest of the world is something to brag about.

There Ty goes again. Ty continues to claim that the average IBO loses money and the average associate does not. This is an incredible claim since Passport has not released any verifiable data to date and Quixtar has released a positive profit per IBO. Ty loves to compare pricing, but should know better than to compare apples to oranges. Why buy no-name Passport products that have sat in a warehouse for three years, since Bo has not even had even one inventory turn in three years. Some of the liquid products have crystallized into solids during Bo’s tenure. If Passport products were so good then why doesn’t someone state the incredible sales volume that you have produced? Oh Qrush remembers now, it is all smoke and mirrors. Ty Tribble you have really lost your way when you state Quixtar prices are 2-3 times the price without factoring in cost per use. Man, Qrush wishes they would outlaw liberal art majors from quoting statistics. Only on Passport sites would Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot be equals with the betting odds on Judas Iscariot.

Training and Tools: Quixtar's training systems offer CD's at $6-7/each, weekly hotel and conference center meetings at $10, and quarterly conventions that cost between $90-500 for the weekend. Passport offers weekly conference calls and MP3 training downloads, plus two websites, one for retail and one more business related, to help build and brand your business, all for free.

Ty, your have way overestimated the cost of most Quixtar systems, but the key point is that no Quixtar group will charge more than the customer is willing to pay. Most organizations are going to a subscription model which reduces the price of material and improves the understanding of the value of the system. Passport offers a free system and based on having four active associates after three years, it looks like you get what you paid for: nothing. Bo Short’s training system is the biggest joke out of a string of jokes in this post. No one, Qrush repeats no one has succeeded with this system. Qrush stated this over three months ago and no one has come forward to refute that statement or ever will with Passport. Bo Short’s whole plan is based on the principle that, “No one in the world has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great mass of people.” Well Bo Short is proud to announce that he is the first to lose money. A better principle for the masses to follow in regards to Bo Short is, “No one in the world has ever lost money by underestimating the character and intelligence of Bo Short.” Pragmatically speaking, Bo Short’s leadership has been weighed in the balance and found non-existent.

Average Bonus Check vs. Average Expense: The average income for an active Quixtar IBO is $115/month while the average bonus check in Passport is $82/month. But the average expense for a Quixtar IBO active with a system is $150-30/month while the average expense for Passport associates is $10-20/month.

Ty banters around a number of $82/month as the average Passport number and yet it has never been proven or for that matter explained. If he means that the Gang of 4 multiplied by $82 is the total bonuses then the sum total of all Passport bonuses would be $328. Wow, what a business. (Sarcasm) Ty in the future when you quote numbers please define the freaking terms. What were the total bonuses paid and how many active associates did you divide that by? Without these very significant numbers your data is worthless and no more than opinion being blown out of your arse. The person who has done the best in Passport is the one who procrastinated making the decision to get in until it was too late. Ty, the Gang of 4 spends upward of $200/month just to run the Yahoo and Google ads, let alone long distance phone calls and fake press releases.

The latest round of Quixtar IBO attacks on Passport have focused on fabricating stories and then spamming these stories on message board forums. It's a big waste of time.
I have said this before:

Qrush cannot validate every point in every email, but follows a screening process that eliminates nearly 97% of emails from publication. Qblog has posted many emails where the information is not correct and Qrush understands that this does not necessarily represent Qblog’s opinions.

If Passport only had 10 people involved, was run by Satan himself, and was loaded down with debt, that still wouldn't change the fact that the majority of Quixtar IBO's lose money every month, mostly because of a training system scam operated by a few kingpins.
If Passport did not even exist the debate would still be the same. Then again, if you cannot defend your position with facts it is much easier to attack the messenger.

Ty, this is where the rubber meets the roads and Qrush and Ty part paths permanently. Passport having 10 people and being run by a devious man like Bo Short while burdened with debt changes the situation completely. How can a company with so many inherent problems take so much of its time to attack a debt free, community supporting, family values American led company? The closest analogy that Qrush can come up with is Passport’s criticisms of Quixtar are like a man up to his neck in quicksand about to sink under, laughing at another man’s shoes on land that are getting muddy in a puddle. Perhaps Bo Short and Passport would be better off saving their own neck and not worrying about another company’s muddy shoes. Ty, Passport will not exist soon and Quixtar will fix their muddy shoes. Quixtar is a debt free company with a track record of improving and they will be in business long after Passport is a footnote of MLM history. Ty needs to learn more about compassion and less from Sun Tzu and Machiavelli. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I seek to help a young liberal arts major develop a smidgeon of rational thinking.

Bo Short's Passport is Eric Janssen's Sugar Daddy?

2004-11-18T07:39:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush in my continuing effort to salvage the lost character of Passport associates (I’ve lost all hope on Bo Short) will help Qblog’s Eric Janssen in understanding the Passport blogging strategy. The enigmatic Eric Janssen from Qblog posted an audacious defense of Passport (even though he claims to be neutral) and Qrush will not let his allegations and fables stand unanswered. Qblog’s comments are in blue with Qrush’s to follow.

The Passport Blog Myth
I've made it clear that Quixtar is waging a full-scale Web Initiative specifically designed to manipulate search engine results (which may violate Google's terms of service), hoping that such endeavors will somehow improve its reputation and the reputations of individual Quixtar leaders.

Eric, Quixtar by your own admission needed to improve their web presence, but now that they are actually doing it you attack them. Eric’s posted recently on Google bombing in an effort to help Scott Larsen’s site above Quixtar, but claimed he was joking after he was called out. Now that Quixtar wishes to have some positive information on page one of a Google Quixtar search, Eric is alleging they are Google bombing. If it is Google bombing to link to sites to improve their search rankings then Eric is proven guilty by his earlier post and if it is not Google bombing then quit making false allegations PeeWee Patsy.

One small, but not insignificant, part of Quixtar's Web campaign seems to be an effort to shift the focus of online conversations (in forums, blogs and newsgroups) from discussing Quixtar to criticizing Passport, an MLM started by a former Quixtar Diamond who is outspoken about Quixtar's problems. Using a classic "logical fallacy" (Changing the Subject) these anonymous Quixtar apologists work to erode public confidence in Passport and its leader, Bo Short.

Eric, Qrush believes that the I am the only critic of Passport that is currently running a site, the other Passport critics, like disillusioned Passport associates just email me information and magnify the truth about the "Unholy Trinities” nefarious activities. Qrush could give a flying rat’s arse what Quixtar does with their strategy and I exist only because of the sickening chronically bad behavior of the Gang of Four and MLM Bad Boy Bo Short. I have not changed the subject yet, but appreciate you pointing out what the Passport clowns are doing when they don’t answer my logical questions. Passport is using the classic “logical fallacy” in not answering why they have release no sales data after three years in business. C’mon guys, the only people that would not release any data on total sales would be someone who is embarrassed by their results. I know, I know, you say Quixtar Sucks, now can you please answer the freakin question? (This is where Passport Bozo’s say that Qrush is a liar and no one should listen to Qrush because he is bad, which only proves the logical fallacy they are doing) Answer the question or admit defeat!!! Bo Short continues to erode the public’s confidence by stating that he simply tells the truth and yet will not tell the truth. What is the use of all those websites if you will not give any information on your business?

The Passport Apologists
There are also Passport apologists. Many of them are former Quixtar IBOs and a few have been outspoken (like Passport CEO Bo Short) about the troubles they observed and experienced while involved with Quixtar. Some Quixtar apologists argue, quite convincingly, that such criticism is identical to the criticisms directed at Passport. They theorize that Passport is waging a Web initiative of its own and that Quixtar is right to respond in kind. While I've received confirmation of a Quixtar Web Initiative I have yet to uncover evidence of a Passport Web initiative but I'm not ready to completely rule out the possibility.

Eric, if you were Pinnochio your nose would be twice the size of your PeeWee. Qrush is not so much defending Quixtar as attacking the Parasitic Marketing techniques of a man that should know better. Thank you Eric for your admission that my arguments and criticisms are convincing since the truth is usually quite convincing. Qrush is not only theorizing that Passport has a Web initiative, but has stated emphatically that Eric Janssen from Qblog is the leader of Passport’s Web Reputation. Qrush has given enough rope for Eric to hang himself and when the time is right, Qrush will kick out the platform from underneath Eric’s feet.

The theory of a Passport Web initiative (similar to Quixtar's) is primarily buttressed by the claim that Passport apologists are publishing numerous blogs criticizing Quixtar while praising Passport. The problem with that theory is that the "numerous blogs" are Missing In Action. They simply don't exist. Like the Critical Web Site Myth, there is a similar "Passport Blog Myth" endorsed by various Quixtar apologists and one guy in particular.

Eric, Passport has dwindled down to four active associates which explains why their active blogs have dwindled down as well. Dead men do not attack the enemy. Is this a hard concept for you to understand Eric? Every blog that Passport has is used for their Parasite Marketing program. That is 100% of the blogs that Passport has are used mainly to state that Quixtar sucks, is illegal, causes B.O., stole the Lindbergh child, etc. The Passport blogs are quite nauseas to read because there is so little critical thinking in the post.

The List
To tally the number of active blogs run by Passport apologists I've set up some very simple criteria. A blog will be included in the list if it:
Has at least two months of posts
Has been updated within the past 30 days
Includes some sort of link to a Passport business site
Specifically criticizes Quixtar or its related businesses and leaders
Must be clearly run by a Passport Associate
Next I went out searching for blogs that fit the criteria. What I discovered wasn't a sophisticated Google Bombing campaign but just a handful of blogs run by a couple of Passport apologists. Here's the list:

Eric goes on to list the sites of Bo Short, Brian Johnson, Dave Stone, and Ty Tribble, which adds up to four sites. Eric, you’ve have solved the notorious Gang of 4 riddle.

And that's it my friends. That's the BIG PASSPORT WEB INITIATIVE. Did I miss any? Toss in a couple of roaming message board posts and you've got the makings of a real Internet Marketing Onslaught I tell ya.

Eric, yes you did miss some sites and let Qrush help you identify them.

Scott Larsen’s vile site for starters has a Bo Short interview where Bo Short bashes his time in Quixtar. Scott proceeds to link to Bo Short’s site.

Qblog’s site where anything coming from Quixtar is disparaged and anything about Passport is sugar coated for Eric’s sugar daddy. Does anyone besides Qrush think it is ludicrous for an alleged Quixtar neutral blog to be defending Passport’s marketing strategy on the internet and in the same breath slamming Quixtar’s strategy?

Lawdawg site – This is Bo Short’s undercover site where he can bash Quixtar and anyone else he pleases. This is why you have seen no new activity on Bo Short’s blog because he is in the process of being check mated and going undercover.

There were more blogs like Master Gunners and Caleb’s, but they had enough sense to leave a sinking ship. BTW Eric, I would love to ascertain your thinking on the following scenario. If 500 men attack a fortress and 496 are killed and the remaining four are captured red handed attempting to blow up the fortress, do you report that there were only four people in the attack so what’s the big deal? That is exactly the scenario that Quixtar has encountered and how you reported it. Bo Short meant to have any army of upset people attacking Quixtar after his Al Gore type performance on Dateline. What Dateline actually did was prove what a Benedict Arnold like Quisling character Bo Short is and people have been quitting his enterprise in droves. The courageous Qrush entered the scene to clean the fortress of this Passport vermin and the job is almost done. Eric, when will you admit your involvement with this perpetrator of evil Bo Short? Eric, who is your daddy?

Criticizing Competition
I'm not a big fan of slamming the competition and therefore, I'm not a big fan of the way a couple of Passport-related blogs slam Quixtar. Whether they admit it or not, they have something to gain from Quixtar criticisms. I'd much rather see a business grow simply on its own merits, without criticizing other businesses. I feel that way about Passport, Quixtar, Procter & Gamble and any other business. There's certainly room for pointing out differences, like Apple pointing out how the Mac OS is superior to Windows, but if Apple issued a "see, I told you so" press release every time a new Windows flaw was discovered I'd be somewhat disappointed in everyone's favorite Cupertino company.

Eric, Qrush thanks you yet again for finally admitting that Passport has an agenda in their Quixtar bashing plan. Eric and Qrush agree that we would much rather see a business grow simply on its own merits, without criticizing other businesses. The problem is not that Bo Short stated his opinions. The problem is that Bo Short continues to teach his group to use his opinions, slander and libel to knock unknowing Quixtar IBO’s off the fortress walls and into the Passport moat. Eric, who is your daddy?

However, should the Passport bloggers remain silent about any experiences or opinions regarding their Quixtar competition? That's a tricky question to answer and I'll leave that for them to decide. On the one hand I wouldn't want to see anyone remain silent about something he feels passionate about but on the other hand, there's a very real conflict of interest present. Unlike the Passport bloggers I have the luxury of not having to worry about such dilemmas since I have nothing to gain if you join Quixtar, Passport or any other MLM (nor do I have anything to lose if you don't).

Eric, your nose is growing again PeeWee Pinnochio. If you had the luxury of calling a spade a spade then why don’t you call Bo Short out on his buying of his Quixtar pin? What about his lack of any sales data after three years or his pathetic performance on Dateline? C’mon Eric you mean to tell Qrush the funniest thing you can think to say about Passport is their funky name? Eric, who is your daddy?

There is one unique characteristic shared by the Passport bloggers and it's that they aren't anonymous and that they make their Passport affiliation very clear. This is not always true of the Quixtar apologists, except in the case of IBOs who refuse to endorse any tool systems (like David Robison). So maybe the Passport bloggers regain some credibility by fully disclosing their motives and putting their names into the public spotlight? I don't know but I do wonder why most Quixtar IBOs choose to remain anonymous on the Web. There's nothing wrong with that but it's kind of weird that most of the so-called Quixtar criticism sites aren't run anonymously while most of the Quixtar apologists sites are run anonymously. Wonder why that is?

Eric, are you going temporarily insane here or is this a permanent mental problem? Passport bloggers go by their name and so do the Quixtar IBO’s. Have you heard of Fred Harteis, Jody Victor, Billy Florence, Chuck Goetschel, Ron Puryear, and Orrin Woodward? Qrush believes they are still Quixtar IBO’s and they do have blogs. Is this more of your yellow journalism seeping in Dan Rather style? The only anonymous sites I have seen that are pro-Quixtar are Quixtar defender type sites. There are actually as many anonymous Passport sites that spend their whole time bashing Qrush as there are Quixtar anonymous sites in total. I love the sites that attack Qrush, because it tells me I am having the desired effect of exposing the foibles of the Passport Scam. What is Bo Short strategy, if you can’t answer the questions then attack the character of the one asking the questions? Qrush has called you out yet again Eric and pointed out the reason I have called you out. Is there any Passport champion that can battle wits against me or have I cleared the field and been crowned undisputed champion? Eric you did not tell the truth through this whole paragraph. Wonder why that is? Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I seek to help an aimless young man wean himself off his sugar daddy Bo Short.

Bo Short's Ty Tribble and the Art of Sun Tzu?

2004-11-17T02:49:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush will take a break today from my continuing quest to expose the indecent behavior of Bo Short, Scott Larsen and Eric Janssen. Today’s post is on one of the more illogical of the mindless drones that pose as bloggers in Bo Short’s Passport scam. Ty Tribble honestly believes that he has stumped the pro-Quixtar community with his deluded sense of Solomon like thinking. Qrush will have to qrush his silly argument in the continuing effort to reform Bo Short’s Gang of Misfits. Here is Ty Tribble mind numbing riddle.

Name one Passport associate that left Passport to become a Quixtar IBO. Just name one. I can name over 100 Quixtar IBO's that became Passport associates, but I've never heard of anyone going the other way. Why is that?

Ty Tribble here is your answer. Why is that? Let me count the ways.

Quixtar has over 300,000 IBO’s with Qrush’s approximation of over 150,000 ordering IBO’s. Passport has at best 500 signups and approximately 50 ordering associates. These numbers in themselves would lead one to conclude that the odds would favor more people joining Passport from Quixtar rather than joining Quixtar from Passport. But there is more.
Passport for the last two years has actively practiced parasite marketing tactics. It started when Bo Short sent a “trial balloon” email to Scott Larsen. Scott’s favorable response to anyone that would help him bash Quixtar led to more email communications. Bo Short noticed increase traffic to his site by Scott Larsen giving him a voice online with Quixtar prospects and new IBO’s. Bo Short then enlisted the help of Eric Janssen to start Qblog and Bo Short’s MLM Bad Boy image was born. Bo’s thoughts were, “If the debt load is big enough the facts don’t count. Qrush has given all this background to state emphatically that Quixtar does not practice these unconscionable parasite marketing techniques and thus will not sponsor as many people from other MLM’s. Quixtar believes in practicing and teaching the high road in MLM. An idealistic Bo Short once said, “If you have to cheat to win, then you have not truly won.” Bo has since changed his tune when he became face to face with bankruptcy. But there is more.
Bo Short sells a victim mentality marketing plan. Bo Short’s basic premise is, “If I couldn’t make it in Quixtar and I am Bo Short, then it is a bad business.” Bo Short attacks the diamond organizations and feeds people’s victim thinking. When a person becomes infected with this disease they become filled with bitterness and hatred. Not only of their upline, but of the MLM business in general. Signing up into Passport is a major step down in the food chain of MLM’s. The IBO goes from the unquestioned recognized leader to a questionable near bankrupt MLM. The reason only bottom feeders are deceived is because they have been looking for an excuse to quit the business and Bo Short gave them a ready made reason. Being a victim soothes the pain of having to admit they did not measure up as and independent business owner. The truth be told not one person was forced to buy tools and with the buy back policy, it is practically impossible to lose money unless you are a total moron or part of the Gang of Misfits, but I repeat myself. But there is more.
By the time the majority of the people sign up for Passport, they have already given up their hopes to accomplish anything great. They are using the Passport business as a crutch or excuse as to why they gave up on their real hopes. They can tell by the small conference calls and the sorry speakers that Passport is not going anywhere, but it sure feels good to say, “I didn’t give up, I just started something new.” Sure enough, after a couple of months of no real training and victim thinking that Bo injected into the host organism in order to sign them up, they quit for good. Bo started an infection in their thinking that any healthy mind can see for what it is: Intellectual dribble from a man named Bo with way too many good opportunities to be such a failure. The weaker minds fall prey to such thinking and become fodder for Bo Short’s Passport assembly line. The prospect is infected with victim thinking which enables Bo to sell his smoke and mirrors enterprise. The only problem is that Bo cannot stop the process once the mind becomes infected. Passport associates have become so victimized that they honestly believe they can stay home and success will come to them. Another laughable strategy for the mentally weak Passport associate is to stay on their computer bashing real MLM’s in the hope of finding other victim thinkers. (Alas the reason for Qrush) It takes between two and three months for the Passport associate to quit and when they do they quit dreaming for good. Bo Short has literally trained his people to fail and after three years in Passport, about the only thing you can say with certainty is that no one is succeeding. But there is more.
Lastly, when a person makes a conscious choice to go down the food chain, they rarely come back up. Bo Short’s whole marketing strategy is like standing at the edge of a greased slide. When someone is standing at the top of the edifice and chooses to take one step on the slide, their choice is made. A person may choose to take the first step, but the rest of the trip is thrown in free gratis. Look at the Gang of 4. They made a choice to leave Quixtar and thought they could slide down a few stories and stop, but their moral fall has continued. They now have stooped to character assassinations of diamond leaders and outright lies and subterfuge in an attempt to lure other fish into their net.

There is your answer Ty Tribble. I know you have had many sleepless nights wondering why no one has had any success with Passport and Qrush has answered that as well as your original question of why no Passport associates have signed up into Quixtar. Passport is like the last stop on the MLM Victim railroad. Bo Short attempted to help people buy a victim ticket to Passport, but he unknowingly taught his own minions to stay on the tracks all the way out of MLM country. The Quixtar Success railroad is alive and well despite all the attacks from the “Unholy Trinity” and though it is an uphill battle, any person with character understands that great results require great challenges. Ty in the future you might not want to ask questions that expose your faulty logic and thinking so openly. Ty, how are the Sun Tzu techniques coming? Moral lesson: when you play with fire you get burned. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I seek to reform a young man who has slid all the way down the moral slope.

The Rise and Fall of Bo Short's Passport?

2004-11-16T09:07:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is now evaluating the silly writings of Bo Short. What makes them so funny? When Bo Short left Quixtar he was so confident in his own abilities that he bashed Quixtar to steal IBO’s. Bo Short has now found the road to MLM failure is paved with good intentions and after three years Bo Short would fail his own MLM marketing test, that he suggested Quixtar IBO’s to take. The bottom line is Bo Short has convicted himself with his own words and yet still will not repent from this madness. Due to the ability of Bo Short to blow smoke the following article must be broken up into different post. Bo’s writings are in blue with Qrush’s to follow.

There is nothing wrong with training. Having spent 14 years playing football I am a firm believer in training. In fact, in the course of writing my books I have spent countless hours with great leaders in all areas (sports, politics, business) that are as adamant about preparation and training as I. However, I believe there is something wrong with a training program that does not seem to produce results.

Bo Short, well at least you agree that there are skill sets that must be taught in order to win. If I wanted to learn to play the violin then I would train from a professional, but Qrush would not expect to be able to play like the professional for a period of time. A training program that produces results does not mean that the student can play like the master after a couple of years, but it does provide him the basics and teaches the discipline and hunger to continue to grow. Becoming an expert in any field requires a decade of solid work according to Peter Drucker. Bo Short has never stuck with anything long enough to truly develop skill and Qrush now believes Bo Short is a gypsy. Here is a list of Bo Short’s three question and Qrush will help answer them for Bo Short’s pathetic Passport business.

Remember, three questions:
How long have you been in?

Bo Short started Passport three years ago and has not released a single piece of verifiable data on his business. Many people are claiming that Bo Short is on the edge of shutting down this Quixotic adventure. No one in Passport has made enough to leave the second job, let alone their first job.

How much do you spend each year learning how to do it? (books, tapes, seminars)

Bo Short’s Gang of 4 have spent more money on Google ads and buying names list than anyone on tape of the week, book of the month and attending seminars. The IBO that attends these events gathers life skills to be used in all areas of their life. The Passport associate gathers no skills and develops a bad attitude by bashing others in a sorry attempt at Parasite Marketing.

What was your last bonus check?

This question was asked in a chat room and the average Passport Associate answer was $20/month. Qrush could certainly understand a first year networker learning the ropes making that, but some of the Passport associates that are most vocal in their criticism against Quixtar were the ones making the $20/month. What is that saying, “Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house?”

If you are only attracted to the social aspect of your business then the answers do not matter. However, if your rationale is business-driven then your answers mean a great deal.

Bo Short doesn’t even have a social aspect to his business. The question is, “Why does the Gang of 4 persist in their unethical practices to their own detriment?” The answer is in their common hatred of the successful Quixtar IBO’s. The Gang of 4 cannot stand the fact that while they complained about Quixtar, others succeeded in the same business. Bo Short and his Gang of Misfits must grow up and recognize that talent must be seasoned with integrity, honor, and a proper attitude to be successful. Bo Short’s whole life is a study in broken promises, unused potential, and the results of lack of character. Seriously, what has Bo Short really accomplished? He bought his diamondship, spoke on other people’s stages using their credibility, and borrowed money from a friend to start the failed Passport venture. The only thing Bo Short can brag about is that he had Doug Wead ghost write his books. Wow, Qrush is impressed. (Sarcasm)

I hear entirely too many people saying, "Well, we learned a lot even though we did not make any money." At what price did you learn it? How many missed birthdays, nights away from home, etc. I would remind you to revisit why you started in the first place. Are your results consistent with your initial intentions or are you finding yourself consistently spending more than you make? At what point does someone cap his or her expenditures?

Bo Short now wishes to push his values onto others. Quixtar is a business of Independent Business Owners and if they choose to work at night, they should not be made to feel guilty. If they choose to stay home at night, they should not be made to feel guilty either. In a free enterprise opportunity the choice lies with the owner which is the IBO. Bo Short is familiar with the Olympics and if someone is striving to win a gold medal, then they should expect to make sacrifices to achieve their success. This is in fact, the single biggest reason why Bo Short and Passport failed. Bo Short speaks to the loser in people and tells them that he will not expect any sacrifice from his team. That it will be as easy as signing up and bashing your Quixtar experience to win. Bo Short, it is time to wake up and smell the rotting corpses in the trail of destruction you have left in hundreds of people’s lives. Stop the charade and face the facts. Your business has been weighed in the balance and has come up Short of the mark.

Look around the room at your next convention. How many new diamonds do you see being recognized? Where are all the new diamonds? Why are the same faces on stage while the ones in the audience seem to change periodically? As an independent businessperson, do you ever think in these terms? If the system was working so well, then one would assume there should be a steady flow of diamonds convention after convention, year after year. If there is not a stream of diamonds after this many years of training then, in my opinion, the training is not only inefficient but possibly even improper.

Bo Short ought to take his own advice yet again. Look around the internet and see what people are saying about Bo Short and Passport. Bo Short has failed to produce any semblance of an organization and is down to a few dunces who have signed up into other MLM’s as well as Passport to protect themselves from the fall of Passport. Where are the new faces in Passport that you are building for the future? Why have you obstinately refused to share basic data like, Sales Revenue, Associate Signups, and Active IBO’s per signups. Bo Short knows why, because the disclosure of this data would sink his toppling ship. If your free training worked so well, then why do you continue to steal Quixtar IBO’s unless it is an admission that you need men and women with training that you cannot and will not provide. The shady MLM’s of the world actually feed off of the Quixtar community. The reason given for this unethical behavior is because Quixtar is the only organization that trains their IBO’s and develops the skill sets necessary to win in business and in life. Bo Short attempted to provide free training by stealing pre-trained IBO’s from Quixtar. What he has painfully found is that only the bottom-feeders would leave a proven market leader like Quixtar to associate with an MLM Bad Boy like Bo Short.

Quixtar continues to grow despite the best efforts of Bo Short, the Gang of Misfits, Scott Larsen, and Eric Janssen. Imagine how fast Quixtar will grow when the Quixtar organization wakes up to the fact that they and their IBO’s are under a systematic attack coordinated by Bo Short. Bo Short’s plan was to attack the leaders of Quixtar to halt the growth of their respective organizations and then pick off unsuspecting IBO’s without common sense. Qrush is happy to report that the plan has backfired and Bo Short is stuck with Bottom-feeders like Ty Tribble, Dave Stone, and Brian Johnson. Bo Short knows that you will only grow as big as the leaders you surround yourself with and he must be losing a lot of sleep with this band of misfits as his support group. Bo Short needs to take his own advice and admit his best laid plans have come to naught and apologize to the whole Quixtar community for his egregious behavior. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are base on my opinions and experiences and yet another embarrassing post from MLM Bad Boy Bo Short.

Bo Short's Passport MLM Bad Boy?

2004-11-15T14:07:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush exposes yet another Bo Short blunder in business etiquette. A man who is not capable of leading in silent prayer should not be leading the Gang of 4. True it is a small Passport team, but even four people is too much for this MLM Bad boy to handle. Qrush received an email from another failed Passport associate. Passport has set the all time record for percentage of failures in an MLM at 100%. Even the founder Bo Short is losing money. What a joke Passport has turned out to be. The email is in blue with Qrush’s comments to follow.

Qrush: Want to know why I lost interest in Passport? You could probably guess. Bo Short is so obsessed with his anti-Quixtar mission he is not paying attention to building and/or supporting his Passport business. I’ll show you an example. Take a look at this Passport page:

Qrush is not shocked here. Bo Short loses interest in anyone that actually signs up into Passport. Bo’s big sell before you get in is the promise of personal mentoring, but as soon as an ignorant fool is stupid enough to sign in they learn the truth. Qrush has communicated personally to over 100 former Passport associates and they state that the highest checks they received were in the $50 range and that is before expenses. They were not even getting valuable tapes or books to learn from. One gentleman was convinced by his sponsor to spend over $300 on month on Google ads that netted a $25 check. This is a joke when you consider that the marketing plan prohibits anyone from making any real money and practically requires some form of advertising to meet people ignorant enough to do this.

This is supposed to be the Passport Conference Call Schedule page. And what’s going on with Passport conference calls this month? ZERO. Even though we are nearly ½ way thru the month Bo hasn’t even found the time to put together a schedule. Did you notice his message? I’ve copied it and pasted it below: November 2004's meeting list will be published by November 2nd. Be sure to check back.

Qrush is not surprised here either. Passport is mostly focused on Parasite marketing which leaves little time for the support of their active (Gang of 4) group. Bo Short has succeeded at only one thing since he started Passport and that is confirming he is the biggest ignoramus that has ever entered MLM. Bo Short’s status as the official MLM Bad boy is secure. Does anyone think he will ever release any sales data or do you think he will declare bankruptcy first?

So much for checking back. Here it is mid-month and this page is still blank. That was a waste of my time. And so much for Passport training. Obviously training is a low priority at Passport. At least it’s free. Qrush, I guess you were right. You get what you pay for.

Qrush has stated for months now that Bo Short is running a smoke and mirrors operation and this email is yet more proof. My critics continue to say that my information is unsubstantiated, well let me help my reader decide who is telling the truth. If Qrush is lying about no one making any money, then let’s have Bo Short prove it by releasing his sales data and at least a couple of names of people who signed up into Passport and are making even $500/month after expenses. Passport is in its third year of operation and has released no substantiated data, which means that the whole Passport business is unsubstantiated conjecture, opinion, and hearsay. Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black, here is a business that has allegedly been built for three years and does not substantiate any data and when a concerned citizen (Qrush) calls them on the carpet for Passport’s deceit, they call Qrush an unsubstantiated liar? Well Passport moron’s, you either have the data to call me out or surrender and admit you are the unsubstantiated party. The truth of the matter is Qrush has hit an on target bullseye and Passport associates must attack Qrush because they cannot attack my facts.

Qrush, I hope you post this email on your blog. Signing up for an MLM like Passport and not getting support is a waste of time and takes advantage of people. In fact, I consider it stealing. I am a new fan of yours and will help you in exposing that con artist Bo Short. Thanks.

Qrush says thank you for sharing honestly and openly about your horrific experience. Qrush is appalled by the apparent lack of concern for the new associates in Bo Short’s Passport. If you are going to take their money and suggest they spend hundreds of dollars in worthless advertising, at least follow through and help them in their business. Bo Short has now stooped to kamikaze type raids into Quixtar businesses and is using Scott Larsen and Eric Janssen to bash great leaders like Jody Victor, Fred Harteis and Greg Duncan to steal their IBO’s. Qrush has stated from the beginning that I will not sit here and let this crime against humanity go unanswered. As long as Bo Short continues his parasite marketing schemes, then look for Qrush to answer the bell against this heinous injustice. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and a growing following of dissatisfied former Passport associates that demand justice for Bo Short's abuse of their trust.

Bo Short, Scott Larsen, Eric Janssen & Real Men?

2004-11-12T06:17:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush checked his email and noticed that Qblog’s Eric Janssen has still not admitted his true reason for his Anti-Quixtar Qblog site. Qrush is forced yet again to continue the exposing of a very cynical young person. Qblog’s post is in blue and Qrush’s comments to follow.

Real Men don't do Quixtar
Real Men don't do Quixtar.

Eric Janssen, Real Men aren’t hypocritical liars either. Eric, is the reason why you have concluded that Real Men don’t do Quixtar because you failed at Quixtar? What great logic you have Eric Janssen.

Real Men don't sell soap, cosmetics or water purifiers.

Bo Short, Real Men don’t lie about others to save themselves from bankruptcy. Real Men don’t borrow money from friends and not pay it back. Real Men don’t attack other men’s character to improve their image.

Real Men don't spend an entire weekend listening to some shmuck in a cheap suit ramble on about "dreambuilding" and buying from "Me-Mart." Real Men watch football and baseball and NASCAR every weekend.

Scott Larsen, Real Men don’t spend their entire lives on the computer being a cynic living in some cheap apartment dreaming about destroying others for his own jollies. Real Men don’t write emails to their former associates lifting themselves up at their fomer associates expense. Real Men marry women, have children and serve their communities in their country.

Real Men don't care about vitamins or energy drinks. Real Men eat rare steak, drink cold beer and smoke fat cigars.

Eric Janssen, Real men don’t care about blogging rules or linking etiquette. Real Men don’t mock their wives when the wife attempts to improve their finances. Real Men build business not quit and blame others. Real Men are examples for their kids and don’t glorify swearing, linking to porn, drinking beer and smoking like Eric does in front of his young son. Your son will grow up and be embarrassed to call you dad after reading your blogs.

Real Men don't listen to "motivational tapes" in their cars. Hell, Real Men don't drive cars. They drive TRUCKS. And when they drive those trucks they listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd or Bruce Springsteen, not some guy name Dexter or Orrin.

Bo Short, Real Men don’t do motivational tapes claiming to be a diamond when their business is in the toilet and below platinum. Real Men wouldn’t collect money off of a system for years and then claim it was wrong when it benefits their cause. Real Men don’t have to steal from others to build a business. Real Men drive whatever they can afford after they ensure the safety of their own wife and kids. And when they drive that vehicle or are at home, they improve daily to be better servers in their communities. Real Men say all the good they can about everyone and when they can’t speak good they say nothing at all. Real Men have character and will not let anyone assassinate another’s character without coming to their defense. Real Men do not choose to fight, but understand there is no peace without justice.

The only Diamond a Real Man cares about is the one on the baseball field.

Scott Larsen, the only diamond a real man cares about is the one he uses to ask for his wife’s hand in marriage. Real Men do not spend 8 hours a night attacking others character while remaining single, lonely, angry, confused, and bitter. Real Men build their wife’s self esteem and protects the honor of their brides.

Real Men don't trust a man who can't explain what he does for a living during the half-time of a football game. Real Men really don't trust a man who has to explain it during a "special meeting" with a whiteboard, brochures and an hour on a Thursday night.

Eric Janssen, Real Men don’t trust a man who can’t explain why he spends so many hours away from his wife and child on a blog to attack others. Real Men don’t trust a man who has to have the wife bring home the bacon while he pontificates online. Real Men grow up and get on the playing field of life and not jeer from the stands against the performers.

Real Men think Quixtar is a woman's business dressed up in a man's suit.

Bo Short, Real Men see right through your act and that is why Passport has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Real Men see Passport for what it is, a sorry attempt from a depraved man to steal from others who believed in Bo more than he believed in himself. Good Bye Passport and Good Bye MLM Bad Boy Bo Short.

Real Men don't do Quixtar.

Scott Larsen, Real Men don’t spend their life talking about that one time back in 1993 that they signed up in Amway. Real Men aren’t victims and they move on and grow up in life.

Real Men are Real Leaders and love their God, love their country, love their family and display courage in following their dreams. Real Men encourage others in all fields to serve their fellow men and women and leave their mark on this world. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and a very cynical post from a young critic named Eric Janssen who has lost his way.

Bo Short's Quixtar Blog Eric Janssen Blows His Cover?

2004-11-11T07:18:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush in an ongoing expose’ of Eric Janssen (now going by the self disclosed name PeeWee Jockstrap Wonderboy) divulges more of Qblog’s lack of honesty. Eric continues to lie about his involvement in the “Unholy Trinity” designed to attack Quixtar for the good of the pitiable Passport business fiasco. Qblog’s post is in blue with Qrush’s comments to follow.

Quixtar and Reporters
This past weekend I was contacted by a reporter who was seeking information about Quixtar for a possible story. From our discussion I learned that the reporter was approached at a coffee shop by a member of Britt World Wide with a "business proposal." This reporter, like any good reporter, wanted to learn the story behind that ambiguous invitation to "learn more at our next meeting."

Eric, so you provided information to the Dateline show? You wouldn’t consider this behavior to be Anti-Quixtar? How convenient for someone attempting with all their might to save Bo Short's Passport gig from bankruptcy. You mean to tell me that a reporter did his research by calling a PeeWee competitor of Quixtar’s and asking them what they thought of Quixtar? Dan Rather would be proud of this reporters exploits and skills.

Inevitably the reporter turned to the Web to research the rather ambiguous coffee shop proposal. That research resulted in a visit to quixtarBLOG (among many other sites) and an email request for more information. I obliged and spent some time answering questions and discussing some of my experiences.

Eric, you see your Google bombing effort worked great in driving another ignorant person into Bo Short’s waiting arms. Of course Bo Short hates Quixtar. He failed at the business and is failing at another business (Passport) as we write. Did Dateline honestly think they would get an unbiased opinion from a known parasite marketer? Qrush is not shocked that Eric answered questions for Dateline, but is wondering if you told Dateline your true position on Quixtar or your silly hypocritical claim of neutrality?

Will this result in a story? I have no idea. Time will tell I guess. What really impacted me was how this entire situation developed. Things are changing. Quixtar (Amway/Alticor/Whatever) is no longer operating in a vacuum of information. When many people hear about "the plan" they immediately turn to the Web for more information.

Eric, here is the main point in this post. (Qrush announces this because I know the attention span of a liberal is only 30 seconds) Qblog understands that people are using the web to gather information on businesses and yet he criticizes Quixtar for developing websites to do that very thing. What the heck is the problem PeeWee? You mean it is only OK for the negative guys to link websites and share their story? Just because Quixtar is slower than a snail going the wrong way on the shell of a turtle about web search engines, does not mean that they don’t have the right to share their story. Quit trying to censure the internet you commie liberal, leftist lackey, laughable loser.

Reporters are beginning to ask questions too. This Dateline NBC story has the potential to be HUGE in more ways than many realize. Regardless of what the story is specifically about or what it does or doesn't "uncover," it will bring the name "Quixtar" into the consiousness of reporters everywhere. Newshounds will begin to ask questions and won't accept ambiguity as an answer. Good reporters will snoop around, looking for their "Silkwood" (or "Erin Brockovich" for you youngsters).

Eric, and what dream world do you live in? In today’s society the last thing people believe is the liberal biased mainstream news media. Dan Rather didn’t start the exodus away from the biased news, but only finished it. Dateline was to Quixtar what CBS News was to George Bush. People have a right to ask questions and for a change will get honest answers from those who have them, when Quixtar gets their act together. Qrush does not believe that the right source for Quixtar news is an admitted fake diamond quitter and his two stooges who support the aforementioned faker’s (Bo Short) despicable Passport joke.

I've made this point before and now I'm making it again, Quixtar must change in order to survive. Quixtar can't continue to act like an online Amway and expect the same levels of success. Just like the Music Industry, Quixtar must re-invent itself to remain competitive. And just like the Music Industry, Quixtar seems unable to embrace innovation and think of drastically changing the way it does business.

Eric, now you are busted again. Quixtar is belatedly starting to reinvent themselves and instead of praising this fact you are criticizing them further. Are you a psychopathic schizophrenic? Get a life and admit that Quixtar is finally embracing the internet and only 8 or so years late. BTW, why don’t you post about Bo Short never releasing any information on his Passport MLM scam after three plus years? Don’t the internet rules apply here as well? Bo Short has not released any single verifiable piece of data on his whole Passport folly and yet Qblog is still Bo's secret admirer. Oh that’s right Eric Janssen is a Passport Stooge that carries Bo Short’s girdle.

The truth is, people are asking questions and for the first time in history, they can find the answers almost instantly, and almost without any effort. I've met very few IBOs who understand this simple fact.

Eric, well it seems like some people at Quixtar are understanding the facts and yet I don’t see an update to this post where you state that Quixtar is finally getting it. Quixtar has the right and the responsibility to share the real facts online, not just the facts contrived by Bo Short and his stooges. The reason you are not excited is because your little Google bombing game is finally coming to an end. The truth is coming out on Eric Janssen, Scott Larsen, and MLM bad boy Bo Short. Stay tuned as Qrush continues to deliver the goods. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as Qrush continues to expose the folly, deceit and outright lies of a pretentious young man named Eric Janssen.

Bo Short's Quixtar Blog is Pro-QuixtarCritics?

2004-11-10T07:54:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is compelled to reveal yet more of Eric Janssen’s confused thinking and feeble attempts to portray himself as Quixtar neutral. Qblog states that he is not anti-Quixtar and yet links to every negative site known to Quixtar and does not link to one successful Quixtar IBO site. The contrast between Qblog’s support of critics and lack of support of Quixtar leaders is appalling. The following is Qblog’s post in blue with Qrush’s comments to follow.

Positive
Many who visit this site feel that I'm a negative person. That I'm trying to destroy something or cause others to fail. I've been classified as "anti-Quixtar" or "anti-MLM" but I've always bristled at such labels. Why? Well, forgive this comparison but it's sort of like the Abortion controversy. WHAT?!? Bear with me for a moment.

Eric, name one time that you wrote a positive post about a Quixtar leader that was growing their business? You have ten times as much positive information on Bo Short’s ridiculously small Passport enterprise than you do any Quixtar diamond. Qrush has read every single post that Eric Janssen has written and the best post he has written is Quixtar neutral and the worst he has written about Passport is Passport neutral. Many of Eric’s post are negative and point to negative sites while he has never linked to a Quixtar defending website on his links page.

Within the Abortion issue there are essentially two extremes, those who support abortion of some kind, and those who don't, with many positions in between. Now the folks who support Abortion like to be called Pro-Choice or seen as advocates for women's rights. Those are "positive" words and their efforts are portrayed as such. However, opposition portrays their efforts as "anti-Life" or something similarly negative.

Eric, you argument here is filled with illogical fallacies. Please allow Qrush to give you a lesson in logic. By your reasoning you would call yourself Pro-Choice because you wish to abort people’s Quixtar business. Attention Quixtar Ibo’s, Qblog’s is now Pro-Choice when it comes to the Quixtar opportunity and that means he wants to abort you new business venture. My how the liberals love to play with words. The real question that Eric has already answered is, “Do you feel that a new IBO should pursue his Quixtar business as a vehicle to accomplish his/her goals and dreams?” The answer Eric has unequivocally given is that Quixtar is not a viable business and there are much better ways to make money. Eric has not actually tried any of the various ways to make money that he feels are better, because he is too busy bashing Quixtar while portraying false neutrality he calls Pro-Choice. Can anyone honestly say the Pro-Choice abortion movement is neutral when it comes to abortions? Eric has walked right into the wall on this silly example. Eric, if Qrush and you are going to have a battle of the minds then please come armed next time.

By the same token, those opposed to Abortion see themselves as Pro-Life and as advocates for strong families and children. Meanwhile, the Pro-Life opposition describes them as "anti-Abortion" which may be true, but it's a negative description and they most often choose to be seen as Life advocates rather than death critics.

The Quixtar pros are actually the real Pro-Choice in the Quixtar business opportunity. There is not one diamond that Qrush believes would argue that every single person should be in Quixtar. In free enterprise there ought to be free choices being made to pursue or not to pursue businesses based on the wants, needs, and commitment of the entrepreneurs involved. Any diamond would be a fool to attempt to convince everyone to do Quixtar, just like Scott Larsen shows himself a fool in attempting to convince everyone to quit Quixtar. Pro-Choice mean let’s give the Ibo’s a free choice by allowing them to work with the various groups and develop their own opinions. With over 300,000 Quixtar Ibo’s certainly most are happy and enjoying their experiences. Why Qrush started this crusade is when I realized that the “Unholy Trinity” was utilizing coercion and deceit to deceive Quixtar Ibo’s into the failing Passport venture or at least quitting Quixtar. Not one fact that Qrush has revealed has been answered with any data. This is the most damaging assessment made against the “Unholy Trinity” is that Qrush has exposed their plot so well that it has frozen their defense. They were so quick to criticize others, but now their mouths and blogs have been stopped, besides attacking Qrush’s character (If name calling is your only defense it is an admission of defeatl.) If you are Pro-Choice when it comes to business then write Qblog and demand that he really be Pro-Choice the way the conservatives would describe the term. If Eric will not be Pro-Choice then he will have to admit that he is Anti-Quixtar and Qrush wins yet again. (Yawn, this is so easy that Qrush wins with half his brain tied behind my back.)

So, how does this relate to me? Well, it relates only in the general sense by illustrating the power of words. I have pretty much refused to label myself as "anti-Quixtar" and instead label my efforts as Quixtar Awareness or as a type of watchdog (that is currently a stretch, I admit). However, unlike my Abortion example, I'm neither pro nor anti but focused on providing honest information, opinions and perspectives about the business.

Eric, when are you going to report the positive news about Quixtar groups? Where is your write up on the new Crown Lennon Ledbetter? A man in his 40’s going Crown and no mention of him? Qrush has numerous other examples and if Eric needs some topics then please feel free to email me and Qrush will give you more. What a schmuck you take the Pro-Choice Quixtar crowd to be. Eric Janssen is a Pro-QuixtarCritics and continues to embarrass himself by denying it. Qrush is Pro-Choice when it comes to business or probably a better statement would be Pro-Opportunity. Harry Truman said you only lose in life when you make no decisions and Eric Janssen is the king of no decisions and that is why he is a broke wannabe journalist turned blogger.

Some folks agree. I've received numerous comments from people who seem to understand what I'm doing here and don't view it as anti-Quixtar. Yet, there are still those who don't understand or completely disagree and that's fine. Not everyone will agree with me or my actions. I just felt it was important to make the point that I personally feel that my efforts here are positive. That I'm working to share with people things that they may not find anywhere else.

Eric, if you would come clean with your involvement as the instigator of the negative Indians linking strategy and your attachment with Bo Short, you would have more credibility. You are not positive or neutral about the Quixtar business; therefore, you are negative on the Quixtar opportunity. Qrush has received so many emails thanking me for exposing the truth on you that it inspires me to keep my Pro-Opportunity opinions coming. Thank you Qrush readers for your words of encouragement and Qrush will continue this crusade until the war is won. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and the Pro-QuixtarCritics opinions oozing from a sick young man.

Bo Short's Passport is Qblog's Eric Janssen's Idol?

2004-11-09T07:04:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush has yet another scoop for my reader audience. Eric Janssen claims to have no vested interest in Bo Short and Passport and yet every time he refers to an inside witness he uses the lack of integrity, hypocritical, Benedict Arnold liking, Bo Short. The following post displays more of Eric Janssen’s lack of neutrality and pro-Passport slant. What a shame that Passport has failed miserably and Bo Short is a has-been with only Qblog’s Eric Janssen still defending this failed businessman. Qblog’s post is in blue with Qrush comments to follow.

Hard Core
What is "Hard Core?" Well, it means one thing in the porn industry and something else entirely in the World Wide DreamBuilders. I received a document that apparently explains the essentials of a "Fast Track" plan for Quixtar success. The list of twelve "Hard Core" items seems pretty much the norm for Quixtar groups and I think it promotes some very positive business fundamentals.

That’s right they promote positive business fundamentals, because they are from the best team in the industry. Qrush is supportive of all the teams in Quixtar, but states the facts in saying that WWDB is the most respected organization in Quixtar.

However, there were two items that confused me ever so slightly. Both are highlighted in the graphic below.

The chart from WWDB displays twelve fundamental business steps and is produced by successful business owners in the industry, not congenital critics who complain about everything like Bo Short and Eric Janssen. In the interest of space management, Qrush will not show here.

The first puzzling item was number two on the list and it says "pay retail to your business for your personal use in order to isolate the savings." What exactly does this mean? My Quixtar stupidity shows again here but surely they aren't suggesting that IBOs forego their IBO discount to "isolate the savings?" What does "isolate the savings" even mean? I'm asking for help here. If you know, please tell me and I'll update this post to explain it.

Eric, let me help you. WWDB is recommending to pay retail for your personal products and isolate the savings for use in business expenses. This is a great way to see money flowing into your business account for use in your personal education on business fundamentals.

Secondly, item twelve seems to say that one should use Profit and Savings to pay for CORE after you have already paid for it. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it seems to be saying that I should pay for CORE and then use the money I make on my first 1,000 PV to repay that CORE cost. I guess there is some sense to this because you assume your CORE actions will eventually generate enough profit to pay for the costs of being CORE. But what if it doesn't? Or what if it takes longer than expected to reach that 1,000 PV? Is there a plan to deal with that? I guess there has to be right?

Eric, item twelve is just explaining to reinvest your profits into your business. Have you ever run a business before Eric? Do you need to talk with Bo Short to learn his shady egregious business techniques? Qrush does not know of any legitimate business where it does not take some upfront investment to produce long term results. A farmer has to do the work to plant his field if he ever expects a harvest. This requires to invest some seed money and work ethic on faith that the harvest will come. Jobs require little faith and that is why there is little reward.

UPDATE: Bo Short comments on the "isolate savings" issue.

Eric, now we arrive to the main point of Qrush post. Why would you compare comments from the leaders of tens of thousands of IBO’s who have proven their ability to build a world wide business to a pompous parasite marketer like Bo Short? Bo Short has by his own words faked his diamondship and never had a group bigger than 250 people. Don’t you see the lack of integrity in this? The only reason for putting a Bo Short link in this post is in the hope of helping Bo Short to steal IBO’s from businessman than tower over him. Bo Short couldn’t carry the WWDB leader’s jock straps let alone play on the same field. Why do you continue to un-level the playing field for a known hypocrite like Bo Short? Justice will be done Eric and your part in the “Unholy Trinity” is fast approaching the end. Do the math silly liberal arts major, 30,000+ people compared to 250 people. A better comparison would be 30,000 + vs. the Gang of 4. Even the Gang of 4 maybe in doubt since some of the Passport associates are now working two jobs and at least two different MLM’s. If Passport was so good for Bo Short, then why does every Gang of 4 associate have a second job and another MLM they are building? Eric Janssen, you have a lot of explaining to do and you will be exposed for the PeeWee stooge that you are. What the heck is Bo Short commenting on anything that WWDB leadership does when he doesn’t have time to comment on his pitiable Passport joke with four active associates? What a pathetic waste of life Bo Short has created for himself by being a traitor to all that is just and good. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as Qrush seeks to reform a young man with an attitude problem.

Bo Short's Quixtar Blog Pinheads before Principles?

2004-11-08T06:43:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush continues to expose the fraudulent use of the anti-Quixtar community perpetrated by Bo Short, Eric Janssen and Scott Larsen. Here is yet another post by Eric Janssen where he laments that some of the anti-Quixtar community does not wish to cooperate with the “Unholy Trinity” to benefit Bo Short’s Passport scam. Having a legitimate complaint against Quixtar is not the issue, but using the complaint to dishonestly build another business is what Qrush calls parasite marketing and it is unethical as well as in poor taste. Qblog’s Eric Janssen’s comments are in blue with Qrush’s to follow.

Principles before personalities
I've been actively seeking information and opinions about Quixtar for a little more than a year. During that time I've discovered a "community" of folks also seeking the truth about Quixtar. This community is commonly referred to as the "anti-Quixtar" community (though I dislike that label) and, like most communities, is comprised of a diverse blend of personalities.

Eric, so you admit to actively seeking negative information from the “anti-Quixtar” community. Were you hoping to create an interlinking strategy within the community to Google bomb the Quixtar searches? Hmm, why else would you need to communicate with them to gather the information off of their sites? Busted, busted, busted, PeeWee wonder boy.

However, much to my dismay, I've also discovered that within this mixed up community exists an element of bitterness and animosity that behaves like a parasite, feeding off of the community -- always taking, never giving.

Eric, you mean some of the community members did not want to support your Passport propaganda blogs? Anyone with any internet savvy can see the Google bombing linking strategy created by Qblog to benefit Passport. What a shame that Passport is on the scrap pile heap being yet another failed MLM venture due to lack of funding, leadership and originality.

I suppose I shouldn't be discouraged, such parasites exist within almost every online community. But still, I guess I'd hoped that the people seeking to expose Quixtar truths would be able to put principles before personalities and work together for a change. I'm probably doomed to a life of naiveté.

Bo Short is the biggest parasite bad boy in the whole MLM community. His whole focus is to steal other networks associates by accusing them of every form of crime imaginable to MLM’s. Why Eric Janssen ever hooked up with the low life scum sucking miscreant like Bo Short may be answered only by the amount of money Bo Short was willing to offer Qblog to back Passport. Eric, if you were putting principles before personalities then you would have told Bo Short to take a long walk on a short pier. Eric, can you tell me why an honest critic would need to work with other critics in order to share their story? Perhaps the real reason to work together was to create your master linking strategy to Google bomb the search engines. Qblog is busted yet again by his own words. When will Qblog’s Eric Janssen finally admit to the obvious about his association with Bo Short? Qrush believes that principle should come before money and that is why I have taken the responsibility to expose the truth about the “Unholy Trinity” without pay and through much duress. I believe the truth will win against all odds even though others say Qrush is doomed to a life of naiveté. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on Qrush’s opinions and experiences and so many embarrassingly obvious biased post by a young man named Qblog that I have lost count.

Bo Short's Quixtar Blog Admits Being a Tactless Twit?

2004-11-05T03:43:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush has no choice but to continue exposing the pitiable young man Eric Janssen that goes by the moniker of Qblog. Eric is very troubled by a billion dollar company called Quixtar choosing to share its side of the story online. The reason Eric is upset is because he masterminded the google bombing effort by the negative Indians in an attempt to derail Quixtar. Quixtar continues to set new sales records while the Scott Larsen and Eric Janssen backed Bo Short business has failed miserably. Eric has now turned self-righteous in his attempt to slow down the freight train running him down. Qblog’s post is in blue with Qrush’s comments to follow.

Quixtar Admits Google Bombing
Quixtar is waging an aggressive Google Bombing campaign in an attempt to manipulate search engine results. The primary component of the "Quixtar Web Initiative" is specifically designed to exploit blogs in an unprecedented manner. Unlike businesses that utilize a few blogs to communicate with employees, associates and customers (NY Times and Search Engine Guide), Quixtar has hired "geekoids" to manufacture hundreds of blogs designed to confuse (rather than inform) information seekers.

Eric, why wouldn’t a company want to share their side of the story online? Why shouldn’t the Quixtar company link to sites that it chooses to broadcast its story? Don't you link to every Passport site that is available even though you formerly claimed to be neutral? Quixtar has over 300,000 IBO’s that each have the right to produce their own website. If everyone took advantage of this right there would be way over the 100 or so positive Quixtar blogs that Qrush can find. What exactly are you griping about Eric?

And while most businesses would try to distance themselves from such spam-like activity, the Quixtar Leadership boasts about its Google Bombing efforts. I received the following message from an IBO who recently attended a Free Enterprise Day rally where Greg Duncan was one of the featured speakers.

Greg Duncan is an IBO (Eric that stand for independent business owner) and is not working for Quixtar. How you can say Quixtar Leadership Admits is beyond Qrush unless the title of your post was part of a Google bombing effort for your blog. Eric, the title of your post leads people to believe that Quixtar admitted something and yet the article has nothing of the sort? Eric, did you third party confirm this email or are you just character assassinating yet another diamond? Is it just coincidence that Greg Duncan just happens to be part of the largest group in North America?

A significant part of Greg Duncan's talk to the entire crowd at this FED was about Google bombing! I didn't record his talk, but here's the gist:

So you didn’t record his talk or third party confirm details or even realize that Greg does not work for Quixtar and yet this is a story you choose to post? Dan Rather is mighty proud of you PeeWee.

Greg said that "since our Diamonds, Emeralds, and Platinums are out there busy showing the plan, building our businesses and raising our families, we don't have time to spend on our own websites promoting all the great things that are happening in Quixtar. Therefore, when a prospect or new person "Googles" Quixtar, they get a list of negative websites put together by "geekoid" (yes, that was his word) losers who quit and who have nothing better to do than spend 5 hours a night writing negative stuff about Quixtar.

Eric, you mean that Greg does not have the right to hire someone to help manage his blog? Have you ever heard of delegation Eric. Oh wait a minute you are a broke cad, that’s an unfair question to you. Eric, aren’t you comfortable yet with your “geekoid” status yet? C’mon Eric, you know that Bo Short hired you to delegate his dirty work. What is good for the goose is certainly good for the gander. Or is this another example of your extreme bias coming out? Greg really said “geekoid loser?” Well Qrush must shake that man’s hand, there obviously is more than just Qrush that recognizes your true colors. Qrush personally would have called you a “PeeWee Geekzoid Loser”, but who is to say that Greg is not right.

So, we (he didn't specify "we", but now we know he had a part, I would assume that "we" is the IBOAI board) now have hired our own geekoids who are spending their time Google bombing (yes, he said "Google Bombing") positive info about Quixtar so that the negative sites will be buried way down at the bottom of the Google list when a prospect types in "Quixtar." Nobody will even be able to find the negative sites anymore."

Eric, you don’t know anything that Greg truly said you schmuck since you weren't there. You are making a whole post on a minimum of third party information, if not worse. What is more credible for the new IBO, information from people who have built the business or people that let their wives try the business while they mock them? Qrush is impressed that the Quixtar Corporation is finally wising up to the “Unholy Trinity’s” Google Bombing Campaign.

(Giant eruption of applause and happy shouting throughout the coliseum followed this announcement. Of course 95% of the people in the room probably had no idea what he was talking about except that Greg Duncan was saving them from the "negative" on the internet!)

Eric, so when you praise Bo Short for his internet skills and parasite marketing sites (Must be good at something, because it certainly isn’t building a business) that is great, but when Quixtar diamonds utilize the internet for communication, that is Google Bombing. Qrush finds your position both humorous and psychopathic. Qrush thinks you have heard your own garbage so long that you have bought your own B.S. The internet is available to anyone who chooses to share their story. It was created so that the little person has a voice. Qrush appreciates the ability to share my thoughts online and I will not censure Quixtar’s ability to share theirs. Eric quit trying to censure the voice of Quixtar Corporation and the IBO’s.

So, there it is, a public admission of what we reading Quixtar Blog already knew. So amazing that he was proud to be filling up the internet with bogus sites that have no real information. Doesn't he know it's embarrassing?

Eric, where did you get this information? Who said the information is not real or the sites are bogus? You are developing megalomaniacal tendencies Eric and basically when you have an opinion it is written as fact. Qrush would state emphatically that any site from a Quixtar IBO carries way more weight than a site from a former wussy who mocked his wife’s attempt at Quixtar. You really don’t have a clue do you Eric Janssen?

Yes, I believe it is embarrassing. Why would a "billion dollar company" want to confuse instead of inform? Why would a "billion dollar company" behave like a couple of mischievous Web hooligans? Why doesn't Quixtar build a phenomenally dynamic and informative Web site that is so compelling and engaging that people will naturally look to it as "The Source" for quality information? QuixtarFacts.com and QuixtarResponse.com seemed like a good start but they simply stalled and are now nothing more than static reference sites.

Eric, why doesn’t Qblog quit jumping to conclusions and let’s see what these sites entail? The only hooligans around the Quixtar community are the critics who use their criticism to gain financially. They are not honest critics, but opportunist who use their negativity to sell books and build fake, smoke and mirror, Bo Short Passport type MLM’s. Why aren’t you attacking all the “bogus” sites that the negative critics have put up? Oh I see it is only bogus if it is information from people actually in the business. If it is from some fake diamond or a quitter it is a legitimate source of Quixtar information? You are really struggling in the area of common sense Eric Janssen.

If the Quixtar Leadership were smart about their approach to the Web, they'd develop an enormous and robust online community that's honest, candid and informative. They'd work to engage everyone, not confuse information seekers. But the Quixtar leadership doesn't seem to think like a "billion dollar company," at least where the Web is concerned. They still have a lot to learn.

Eric, Qrush agrees with you here. Quixtar has had their head so far up their arse on their internet reputation in the past that the only way they could see is through their belly button. Qrush is impressed that they are finally doing something to share the truth about their business. There is no such thing as a business that is not cognizant of their web reputation anymore. Qblog is like a child who has just had his favorite stolen toy returned to its original owner. Qblog’s whole post is just a young man crying over his lost prestige and position, fearful that he will lose his job as Bo Short’s PeeWee Patsy. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and more data divulged from the sick mind of the anarchist Eric Janssen.

Qblog's Eric Janssen is Bo Short's Numbers Nimrod?

2004-11-04T07:31:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush in yet another exposing post displays Quixtar Blog’s lack of neutrality. Eric Janssen from Qblog graduated from the Dan Rather school of reporting and ought to be ashamed of his lack of integrity and class. Qblog’s post is in blue with Qrush’s comments to follow.

Where are the Numbers?
I don't care about numbers. Numbers are meaningless to me and most Americans. If you say that Quixtar does this number or that number then I say "Yawn." Conversely, if you say this number and that number shows that Quixtar is a scam, I shout, "Who cares!"

Eric, obviously you are a liberal arts major that majored on the LIBERAL aspect. Numbers do matter, but the key to success in business is to know which numbers to study. What expertise in mathematics or money matters do you bring to the table that should qualify you to advise anyone on numbers? The basic issue with Eric Janssen is he is a broke failed journalist who barely scrapes by working at a Memphis online magazine (Yawn) that needed a geekzoid to help design the site.

And I'm not alone. Numbers mean absolutely nothing to most people. I learned this when I read a book called How To Lie With Statistics several years ago. Basically, people care about and understand very simple and basic numbers but when you start bombarding someone with number after number, they just start nodding.

Eric, did you loan that book to Scott Larsen? Scott must have been a contributor in that book with all the lies he uses with numbers. Bo Short did that book one better by releasing his new title, “How To Lie Without Statistics” since he has never released any data in three years with his embarrassing Passport fiasco. Eric, Qrush won’t even mention the lying statistic (PeeWee) that you told your wife on your wedding night.

Quixtar uses numbers to "prove" that it works and will make you rich. Detractors use numbers to "prove" that it doesn't work and will make you poor. So who's right? Well, I am of course. And I use common sense. Screw the numbers.

Eric, so how many businesses have you succeeded at? Are Quixtar IBO’s supposed to take advice from a failed journalist that had to do his own blog for anyone to read his opinions? Even your job doesn’t let you write for their magazine, how embarassing for you. People who can do, and those who can’t (like Eric) start a blog and claim to teach. Screw the numbers? Hardly, more like screw your advice PeeWee patsy.

Common sense says that if you join a business where almost everyone fails, then you will probably fail too. I think of Quixtar as a casino. Some people walk into a casino and walk out rich. But not many. And not often. Most people walk into a casino and walk out broke (or with less money).

Common sense says that only a few people will ever make it to the Major leagues in baseball, but Qrush hopes Eric will shut off his addictive computer and play catch with his son anyway. Common sense suggest that Bo Short’s daughter will probably never dance professionally, but I hope Bo Short attends his daughter's recitals anyway. Common sense suggest that no one will ever marry someone as obnoxious as Scott Larsen, but Qrush hopes that Scott will turn off his computer one night and go meet someone anyway. What a shame the “Unholy Trinity” has lost the ability to dream. Qrush would rather strive valiantly and fail than to never attempt anything big and succeed. Eric you cynicism in this post has damaged your soul. Qrush suggest a vacation and a renewed purpose for your miserable life. Time is of the essence and before you know it your son will be infected with the same stinking thinking you have.

So, next time you hear some numbers just ignore them and start using a little common sense.

Qrush says that common sense is the least common thing. True common sense would suggest not to accept success advice from three losers (Bo Short, Scott Larsen, and Eric Janssen) that have never experienced any success. Common sense would suggest finding a mentor that has accomplished what you want and being their best student. Common sense would suggest you are not going to learn how to build Quixtar or any business from someone that has never built a business. Common sense would suggest that the two quickest ways to ensure failure in life is to listen to no one or to listen to everyone. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I help a young man named Eric Janssen who is suffering from severe low self-esteem develop a sense of decency.

Qblog's Eric Janssen a Passport Patsy?

2004-11-03T10:52:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is evaluating yet more of the mysterious posts of Qblog’s Eric Janssen. Who is this hired assassin and why has he attacked the Quixtar business? Eric will not admit to his cover up with Bo Short and yet all of his post are biased toward the near bankrupt Passport and attack the debt free Quixtar Corporation. Qblog’s comments are in blue with Qrush comments to follow.

What's up with me
Well, it's now been some time since I've been actively part of Quixtar or Qbiz or anything related to Alticor. My wife (for her own reasons) has basically stopped participating and so I'm no longer exposed to the daily routine of life with Quixtar. The result of this non-participation is that Quixtar isn't in my face the way it used to be so I honestly think about it less and less. My fascination with this business will never wane but my emotional connections are becoming more distant every day. Where I used to get irate when someone said that market saturation was a myth I now just smile and shrug. Some people just believe what they want to believe and that's fine if it makes them happy.

Eric, your wife quit the business due to your lack of support and encouragement. Qrush doubts if your wife was ever active and you probably had her sign up as a front for your yellow journalism. Eric, you have spent months of your life away from your wife and child to attack Quixtar and praise Passport. When will you move on with your life? When will you admit the truth of your activities? Qrush will continue to expose the deceptions as long as you continue your covert operations.

My growing concern with Quixtar is larger than the individuals involved. I see a very large, powerful and secretive organization that has an enormous amount of political clout. This isn't a bad mix but it is ripe for abuse. Another concern is the lack of information about Quixtar in the general media. It's very difficult to find objective and accurate reporting about this company. Believe me, I've searched for a long time to find the few scraps of news about Quixtar and this site might be the most timely and informative repository of Quixtar news on the planet (or not). That's my second passion. To increase coverage of this mysterious company. I want full disclosure. I want facts. I want people to know all the details from objective sources before they begin doing business with Quixtar. Or at least provide them with the opportunity to find out the facts.

Eric, yes Quixtar is a large organization with influence. Is that a crime? Every large organization has influence in this country. Now Eric is upset that Quixtar is building websites to share the truth about their business. What is the problem with Quixtar building websites? Isn’t that what you have been promoting for the last couple of years Eric? Qrush does not see you attacking all the rest of the large corporations for sharing their facts online. Could it be that you don’t like Quixtar because they support conservative causes and you are a bleeding heart liberal commie bastage? Qrush thinks so.

Right now most of the information about Quixtar still has a very obvious bias (either pro or con). I really want this to change and hope it will with increased Web coverage.

Eric, thank you for describing why Qrush entered the scene of this contest. The “Unholy Trinity” consisting of Bo Short, Eric Janssen and Scott Larsen thought they would pull a fast on and build the Passport business by bashing the Quixtar business. Qrush has entered the field and saved the day. There is no peace without justice and Qrush is bringing these boys to justice. Eric Janssen is the worst offender because he won’t even admit his bias. At least Bo Short admits he started Passport, Scott Larsen admits he hates Quixtar, but Eric does not admit his compromised position.

My main goal is to promote the discourse about Quixtar. I want fair and unbiased reporting of the company and honest evaluations of the business practices. That is all. And for now this is my cross to bear (self imposed of course) and I gladly take it up.

Eric, your main goal is to promote negative information about Quixtar to help your pal Bo Short in his failing Passport business. Why do you think the pros and cons are so stupid? When will you come clean with the facts. C’mon Eric, remember your mantra share, share, share? Eric Janssen does not enjoy the spotlight shining on his sorry face. Open up and drink some of your own medicine you hypocritical hack. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and the sorry activities of a wandering generality known by the name of Eric Janssen of Qblog.

Qblog's Eric Janssen a Study in Deception?

2004-11-02T16:14:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is happy to report that Eric Janssen believes in information sharing like Qrush. Let’s read one of Qblog’s Eric Janssen post to see if he will finally ask Bo Short to divulge some information on his smoke and mirrors business. Qblog’s comments are in blue with Qrush’s to follow.

It's about distributing information
One of the things that I love about the Net is that information is always distributed. There is no control. Before the Net information was hard to distribute to more than a few people unless you were a large corporation or had a lot of money. Not so on the Net.

Qrush loves the post so far Eric, maybe you are finally going to ask for some information on your pal Bo Short and his ghost business Passport.

This is the beauty of a truly networked society. Information is shared equally, nobody is given preference. And this is why I personally believe Quixtar does not "get" the Web.

Bo Short must be a web neophyte compared to Quixtar. If Quixtar does not get the web and they have released reams of information then, compared to no information from Bo Short, Quixtar must be the MLM expert on the web. C’mon Eric, can you honestly allow Bo Short off the hook yet again? No information publicly released after three years and we are supposed to believe he has a real business just because Qblog is the most biased Dan Rather clone Qrush has ever seen?

Not only does Quixtar seem oblivious to the nature of the Web, it doesn't understand the way it is changing our modern society. We no longer settle for just being ignorant of some fact, we actively seek out the information and then share it. Few companies get this but the ones that do are the truly innovative pioneers in this exciting new landscape. The companies that don't get this are doomed to extinction, or drastic modification in the future.

Exactly Eric Janssen, Qrush and the rest of the Passport and Bo Short critics will not settle for being ignorant of the actual facts of Bo Short’s smoke and mirrors business. Boy your own words condemn your own hypocrisy as well as Bo Short’s. We are seeking information and are calling you out Qblog for your conflict of interest with Bo Short and Passport. Passport must be doomed based on their lack of sharing.

In my estimation Quixtar could gain a lot of ground by being extremely candid with its IBOs. Don't hide or obfuscate information, instead make it plain, clear and visible. Also, Quixtar could foster online communication by setting up methods for IBOs to share and distribute information with each other as well as the general public. Encourage communication. Realize that a network of IBOs that share gripes, praises, concerns, victories, successes, etc. in a candid fashion will be a strong and healthy network. Share this network with the general public too.

In Qrush’s estimation Passport could gain a lot of credibility by being extremely candid to their Gang of 4. Don’t hide or obfuscate information because it is embarrassing. Do what Bo Short claims to be believe in and just tell the truth about the Passport joke. Encourage communication with his Gang of 4 and help them find a more reputable MLM that is actually approved by the Direct Sales Organization. Eric you are embarrassing yourself and making a mockery of your Qblog site by not calling Bo Short out on his known deceptions.

The key is share, share, share. If any business today does not begin to find ways to embrace this information distribution it will die a slow and horrible death.

That’s right Eric, tell Bo Short and Passport to share, share, share. Teach Bo Short that if he doesn’t embrace this information distribution Passport will die a fast and painful death.

This is why I get so frustrated when I find it so difficult to find candid, non-biased information about Quixtar.

This is why Qrush is so frustrated with Eric Janssen and Qblog because he talks out of both ends of his body. Qblog uses his blowhard mouth and keypad to judge Quixtar and talks out of his arse when praising Bo Short and Passport. Eric, the gig is up. It is time to come clean with the pros and cons of Quixtar and admit what everyone already knows, that you are working for Bo Short. This embarassing post of your's is yet more corroborating evidence against your deceit and outright lies. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my experiences and opinions as Qrush seeks to repair a young man’s lack of character by his folly in listening to Bo Short.

Eric Janssen is Bo Short's Passport Humor Boy?

2004-11-01T08:02:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is commenting on yet another humorous post of Qblog’s Eric Janssen. Eric is wondering why the Quixtar IBO’s do not seem to have a sense of humor and Qrush is wondering why Eric and the Passport Associates are having similar difficulties. Eric’s post is in blue with Qrush to follow.

Get a sense of humor
Is it just me or do most Quixtar IBOs take their "business" way too seriously? It seems like when they sign that IBO contract they must remove their sense of humor.

Eric, Bo Short seems to be struggling with his humor recently. It has been almost a month since Passport Jokey splashed onto the scene and yet there are no references to it anywhere. What’s the matter? Is the sense of humor of Passport associates (all four of them) only one way when it comes to laughing at the Passport joke of a business.

No, of course they laugh. My wife laughed at all those J-O-B jokes and the one about the guy from Louisiana and the President (that's all I remember). But laughing and a sense of humor are completely different in my book. Someone with a sense of humor can laugh at themselves, is fully aware of their own quirks and foibles and enjoys a good-natured ribbing.

Eric, so are you saying you didn’t think that Bo Short as the dancing rat that believes in miracles was funny? What about the DateFeline skit? This was good material and Qrush believes that the cons have become humor impaired since Qrush has entered the scene. C’mon Eric, help your Passport buddies learn to laugh at themselves since they have given themselves so much material to work with.

Folks with a sense of humor are also often a little irreverent and have a keen appreciation for irony and absolutely love a good satire, even if that satire is aimed at them. Folks without such qualities are easily offended and a total bore at parties. They just seem to take life (and their Quixtar business) too seriously.

Qrush agrees Eric. Now that is some good blogging. So where is the comments about the hilarious Scott Larsen skit? What about the latest Bo Short skit? Are you saying that Scott and Bo are real bores at parties?

I dunno. Maybe it is me? Maybe I've lost touch with what's "really funny" and am living in my own little world of yucks and yee-haws? Maybe those Quixtar IBOs are the ones with the sense of humor and I really am that "bitter, broke loser" they keep talking about? Or maybe I just need new material?

Eric, you haven’t lost touch and you are not a loser, but you are one incredibly biased secret admirer who gets paid to post Passport positive material. Qrush hopes you are being paid well, because it is a hard feat to post anything positive about the Passport scam when there is no one making any money. The Gang of 4 needs to learn how to laugh and then cry about their failed business venture and then move up the food chain by accepting full time pizza delivery jobs. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I help Qblog's Eric Janssen understand the definition of a hypocrite.

Qblog's Eric Janssen a Contemptuous Cad?

2004-10-29T07:52:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is exposing yet another example of the bias and non-neutral postings of Eric Janssen. Qblog’s Eric Janssen loves satire especially against those who are not broke like himself. There are two post from Eric Janssen displayed below. One is a joke against Bo Short’s name of his nearly bankrupt MLM Passport. The other is a joke against Quixtar IBO’s. Qrush finds it interesting that to joke against Bo Short’s naming of his company required a two paragraph disclaimer, but to laugh about shooting a Quixtar IBO requires no disclaimer at all. Qrush chuckles to think anyone could find Qblog to be neutral and non-biased. Qblog’s posts are in blue with Qrush’s comments to follow.

A (BAD) JOKE

Q: Do you know why Bo Short decided to name his new MLM company Passport?

A: Because that's what he'll need when he leaves the country with all his downline Associate's money.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I rarely properly tell jokes, much less make them up completely. However, I have always thought Passport was sort of a goofy name for an MLM. I mean I always think of Microsoft or the actual passport book when I hear the word. And, while I'm on the subject, mypassportonline.com is like the "nerd" URL. It's what you get when you type in a word, it's not available and then the Registrar service makes a few alternative suggestions. Like mypassportnow.com or yourpassport.com. Something lame like that.

Anyway, it's Friday and I'm feeling silly. I really doubt Bo would do anything like that but I know I'll get nasty emails from people who just can't take a joke. That's why I'm writing this freakin' disclaimer. Sheesh.

To say a silly joke about Passport’s name requires a two paragraph disclaimer because Eric Janssen loves Bo Short as his secret admirer. Maybe more truthful would be he is working for Bo Short. Even Qblog understands he better have something to point to that he pick on Passport for since he is constantly railing against Quixtar and their IBO’s. How does Eric solve his dilemma? By picking on Passport’s name that's how. That’s right, Eric skips over their lack of sales data, Bo’s buying of his diamondship, Bo’s small numbers, and Bo’s three year odyssey of debt in Passport and focuses on their name? This is Dan Rather reporting at its best by overlooking the facts and focusing on the fluff.

I need a laugh

Here's a modified joke. Apologies to the lawyers.

Q: "If you have Hitler, Stalin, and a Quixtar IBO standing in front of you and you have a gun loaded with two bullets, who do you shoot first?"

A: "The Quixtar IBO, twice."

Eric, where is the disclaimer here? Certainly you don’t think that to tell a joke on Passport that you need a two paragraph exclaimer and that Quixtar people will just have to deal with your lack of sensitivity? Qblog accuses Qrush of lack of gender sensitivity (which is not true) and yet turns around and alleges that Quixtar IBO’s are worse than Hitler and Stalin and does not even have a disclaimer. Eric if you say that it was obvious that it was a joke, then Qrush would say, that it was obvious on the Passport joke as well. Eric Janssen is a liver lipped, lying lemming, losing leftist, who works for Bo Short and Passport or is the most blinded person to his own hypocrisy that Qrush has ever had the privilege to expose. Two theories on Qblog:

Eric Janssen is actively working with Bo Short and Passport and is attempting to cover the facts up.
Eric Janssen is the most incompetent reporter alive in the U.S. Not only does he not report the facts, but he can't even figure out what the facts are.

What a sad state Qblog's Eric Janssen has put himself in by his lack of character. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and more embarrassing post by Qblog’s Eric Janssen.

Eric Janssen a Perspicacious Passport Pawn?

2004-10-28T07:22:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush in a continuing effort to expose the truth must ask the tough question of Qblog’s Eric Janssen. Eric denies working for Bo Short, which must mean that Eric is just a secret admirer of the five time business faker, failure and original MLM Bad Boy Bo Short. Eric states that his website is dedicated to discussing Quixtar and Qrush assumes that Eric would argue that the many references to Bo Short and Passport are only in relationship to the tie in with Quixtar. This assumption would be false and Qrush has yet more qrushing evidence to expose with this post by Eric Janssen.

Conference Call With Bo Short!
UPDATE: Apparently the conference call info has been publicly available for quite some time. The message below might give someone the wrong impression that such info was intended to be private. I apologize for any confusion. The main reason the site caught my eye was because of this ad:

Eric displayed a paid for ad by a Passport bozo and then proceeded to attempt to tie it into a Quixtar discussion. Sorry Eric, but the main reason was a quick way to keep Bo Short in the news before his big Dateline segment.

It's the first Passport ad I'd seen that specifically emphasized the free downloads and conference calls as a selling point. The ad caught my attention so it's obviously effective on some level.

Eric, what a great way to advertise for Bo Short and Qrush must admit that you and Bo are very creative in finding ways to bring this third rate MLM catastrophe known as Passport into so many Quixtar Blog post. Why such interest in so little an enterprise and why is practically every post so positive about this pitiable enterprise?

Found this site from a Google Ad today. It caught my attention because it wasn't the normal looking Passport Associate site that I'm used to seeing and it is also hosted on Homestead.com instead of the mpoinfo.net that I'm familiar with.

Look at all these positive links and positive comments about the smallest MLM in recorded history. Eric, why don’t you ask the tough questions about Passport? If you are going to bring them up every fourth post anyway, then why not get the facts. Why does Bo Short get a free pass on his B.S. when any Quixtar IBO would be attacked for half of the chutzpah that Bo Short displays? C’mon Eric, if Bo Short is your hero just tell the pros and cons. Your character and integrity is at stake here.

So, the site lists upcoming conference calls with Bo Short and gives a number to call:
To participate in the Live Meetings call ###-###-####. When prompted, dial #######.
This is the first public posting of the number that I'm aware of (though a Google search reveals one additional site). Interesting.

Very interesting indeed Eric and only explainable if you worked for Bo Short or worshipped him. Eric takes a Quixtar Blog and converts it into an advertising campaign for a failing Passport business. What does this have to do with Quixtar at all? This is yet another example of Qblog's hypocritical behavior. Eric Janssen then goes on record stating he doesn’t support Passport although he links to all their active sites and kisses Bo Short’s arse. Eric did you really need to leave the phone number and passcode for you to make you orginal point? The answer is no and you know it is no, but your real point was to help Bo Short with his failing enterprise. The only thing left to discover on your love affair with Bo Short is the motive for this alliance. Qrush is just after the truth and why Eric continues to deny, mislead, misdirect and attack me for asking what his motives are is confusing to Qrush. Qrush would like nothing more than to leave this internet arena and get back to my latest flavor of Qrush Soda, but I will not leave until justice is done. There is no peace without justice.

Qrush will ask Qblog some questions:

If you are not part of the “Unholy Trinity” then why not confront Bo Short for his many ethical failings in Amway? (Doesn’t this destroy his credibility as an expert former IBO?)
If you are not part of the “Unholy Trinity” then why not expose Passport’s lack of results and quit using Bo Short as some type of expert when the only thing Bo Short is an expert at is living off his daddy and friends money? (If you read your site you would think only Kryptonite could stop Bo Short)
Why the attack on Quixtar for doing exactly what the Indians did per your instructions? (Qrush is confident that you are the one who orchestrated the brilliant interlinking strategy of the negative sites)
Why the over the top support for Ty Tribble if Passport does not interest you? (Who the heck is Ty Tribble anyway?)
Why did you accept funds from known competitors of Quixtar? (Qrush smells a serious conflict of interest)
Did you think that accepting these funds would compromise your liberty of speech? (How can you talk bad about Bo and Ty when they fund your site?)
By allowing anonymous post on your site aren't you risking that Passport associates will rig the comments against Quixtar, thus destroying true discussion? (dmm, Doug Ginter, JoeCool etc. all Passport associates or Passport friendly posting under different identities)
Should known parasite competitors be allowed to dominate your blog like they have up until recently? (Until about the time Qrush exposed it.)

Qrush has more to expose on these issues, but if Qblog is truly after genuine discussion about Quixtar then the first logical step would be to rid his site of the smoke and mirrors Passport post and tighten up his posting regulations. Qrush does not hate Qblog or any of the “Unholy Trinity”, but I will not just stand by and watch these bullies steal the new entrepreneur’s hopes and dreams and lead them into a sure loser like Passport. Qrush over and out.

The following statements are based on my opinions and experiences and yet more embarrassing evidence of Qblog’s Eric Janssen’s duplicity.

Eric Janssen is Bo Short's Joseph Goebbels?

2004-10-27T09:08:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is displaying yet more hypocritical conduct of Qblog’s Eric Janssen. Eric was upset at the Quixtar Corporation for building websites in an effort to communicate the real Quixtar story, not the Passport funded Qblog Quixtar story. Eric stated that Quixtar was manipulating Google search results and seemed to suggest that this was bad karma for the web. Eric Janssen must be the world’s second biggest hypocrite (only behind Bo Short the original MLM Bad Boy) to post this on his website and then act all self righteous on Quixtar’s activities. Eric's comments are in blue with Qrush's to follow.

Call me crazy
I just had an idea. I'd like to ask YOU to help me make this idea possible. What is this idea? Well, it's crazy and some will call it stupid but in the Age of the Web people do this stuff because a.) it's fun and b.) because it's simple to do.

Eric Janssen, help Qrush understand here, when you manipulate Google search results it is fun and simple. When someone else utilizes the Google search engines, it is a travesty of justice and a violation of internet rules. What a moral quandary you have put yourself into from your relativistic, mush for brains thinking. Eric, give up the hypocritical moral crusade and admit you are a Bo Short Loving Passport Stooge.

So, what is my idea? Type the word "Quixtar" into Google and the number one result is Quixtar.com. Makes sense right? The number two result is the AmQuix site, which is not too bad for AmQuix if you think about it. I bet the lawsuit against Scott Larsen actually helped that site's Google Ranking. Anyway, my idea is to work to move the AmQuix site ABOVE Quixtar.com in the Google search results.

Qblog, well you finally admit that you are not interested in the truth, but in helping you buddy Scott Larsen on his crusade against the Quixtar business. What business would Scott Larsen's site have being above the actual site of Quixtar? For you to even suggest such rubbish is more proof of you inherent bias and hypocrisy. Scott Larsen has more psychological problems than Jefferey Dahmer and is so broke he can’t afford to pay attention let alone his bills.

Ridiculous you say. Waste of time you cry. Maybe so. But you must admit it would be kind of funny. So, how is this done and is it even possible? Well, it won't be easy but here's one example of how Google's search results were "modified."

Eric, you are a sad sack of donkey dung. What incredible propaganda you use to promote Scott Larsen’s site, which just coincidently has a Bo Short interview, where Scott Larsen actually represents Bo Short as a diamond. This is more conclusive evidence of the “Unholy Trinity” at work. Why do you guys continue to fight this battle when you know all the evidence and truth is against you? Did you honestly think the Quixtar community would let you get away with all of this? You guys are bigger schmucks than Qrush even thought.

The way we do it is to create pages and link to the AmQuix site while slapping lots of references to "Quixtar" on those pages. There are other things involved but this is the first step. When I figure out the second step I'll post it here.

Eric, wow thank you for teaching exactly what you were upset about and accused Quixtar of doing. I guess to summarize Qblog’s Eric Janssen on Google bombing, “It is perfectly O.K. for the cons to Google bomb the search results, but if the Quixtar Corporation utilizes their sites to improve search results I will throw a wussy fit.” Typically only pre-menstrual women throw these fits, but Eric was raised by his mother and is a momma’s boy. His wife took over the duties of raising him after he married Aimee. I pity their poor son and his chances of ever growing up with any testosterone.

So, who's with me? Let's cause a little Net mischief just for the hell of it.

Count Qrush out you chronically hypocritical, lying loser, communist crank. Qrush is appalled at the two faced garbage that is flowing out of your site. Come clean with the honest pro’s and con’s who do not hide their stance on this business. The Quixtar cons ought to be the most upset, because you have used the Quixtar cons to further you interest in the Passport community and Bo Short. Eric Janssen, if you love Bo Short so much, just come out and say so. Don’t hide behind your alleged neutrality and continue to have Qrush qrush you. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and yet another hypocritical post by the Joseph Goebbel’s of Passport Eric Janssen.

Qblog's Eric Janssen Congenital Critic?

2004-10-26T13:19:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is reviewing more damaging information that points to the Passport Cabal led by Bo Short, Eric Janssen and Scott Larsen. The following post is from Qblog’s Eric Janssen and proves convincingly Eric’s role in uniting the negative websites against Quixtar. Wouldn’t this be extremely beneficial to Bo Short’s Passport business to have the negative websites unite? This would drive all the traffic to Qblog’s site and then Qblog links to all the active Passport sites. Bo Short and Eric Janssen must think the Quixtar IBO’s are dimwits to fall for such gross misrepresentations. Qblog’s Eric Janssen post is in blue and Qrush’s comments follow.

Learn from the Indians
Lately I've come into contact with a few individuals who run sites about Quixtar. Most of these sites have MUCH more information than this one and I appreciate the service they provide and have learned much from their sites. I purposely don't post much definitive information here for a variety of reasons but mainly because the truth is so incredibly hard to determine when it comes to Quixtar and all the affiliated businesses. Since the truth is so hard to find I mainly post my opinions, emotions and random thoughts which are exclusively mine.

Eric Janssen started Qblog as a Passport portal to direct all the search engine results for Quixtar into the waiting arms of the notorious MLM bad boy known as Bo Short. Eric’s main goal was to make contact and befriend the negative sites on Amway and Quixtar to use them to help Bo Short. Eric views his site as the portal to direct Quixtar curious prospects to negative Quixtar information and positive information about Passport (This is all hype since Passport has never released any actual data.)

However, it has come to my attention that this site attracts many individuals seeking information about Quixtar. I know that feeling:

You hear about Quixtar from someone or you "saw the plan"
You want to find out what this is really all about and what others say about it
You want to be educated
Yet it becomes EXTREMELY hard to wade through all the junk about Quixtar on the Web
Trying to navigate and track down information on some of these sites gets extremely frustrating
You realize that MOST of the information about Quixtar is several years (if not decades) old and most of that mentions Amway, not Quixtar (I know Quixtar is only about 3 years old)
You just want straight answers, a site that is easy to get around and figure out what this Quixtar is really all about... you just want the TRUTH

Qblog’s Eric Janssen even admits that most people surfing his site are looking for Quixtar information and Eric is all too willing to do the bidding for Bo Short’s Passport business. Eric Janssen ought to be ashamed of himself for his duplicity in this crime.

I know this because I'm one of those people. Those feelings are partly the motivation for me to create this site. Now I have bigger dreams. I take my inspiration from the American Indians (Native Americans).

The American Indian Nations were attacked and moved off onto reservations. What does this example have to do with Quixtar critics? The Quixtar critics are not under attack, but are attacking Quixtar. The Quixtar diamonds ought to be using the American Indian example to unite against the crimes committed by the “Unholy Trinity.” If you are just sharing your perspectives why do you need to unite? Why can’t the truth stand on its own merits? The Quixtar critics were united by Qblog to use as propaganda fodder for Bo Short and Passport.

Proposal
My idea is to try to unify some of these sites about Quixtar. Right now I think of them as tribes spread across the Web. Each tribe duplicating information, some doing better than others but none overwhelming successful at presenting and providing that information. Many of the sites are just a visual and navigational mess (I don't fault them, most aren't professional Web designers). The end result is that there is no authoritative, professional and relatively unbiased site providing information about Quixtar. This equals confusion.

Qblog’s own words condemn him. Qrush finds it humorous that the “Unholy Trinity” continues to say that Qrush is making up these lies and yet I continue to document beyond a reasonable doubt that the “Unholy Trinity” is doing exactly what Qrush said they were doing. Bo Short has a lot of explaining to do to counter Qrush’s charges of the egregious character of his Passport business.

The Indians ended up losing all their land partly because they did not unify. Other nations like Scotland succeeded in protecting their land by unifying their clans. Businesses do this too. Why not the Quixtar info sites?

How could the Quixtar critics lose? What are they fighting for? One person with the truth is enough to beat hundreds that tell lies. Look at Qrush as an example. Qrush began telling the truth about Bo Short and his Gang of Misfits and is winning at every point. Others have now joined the field and the “Unholy Trinity” is fighting a rear guard action in their retreat from the field. The only true reason to unify the clans is to help drive traffic to Bo Short’s pitiable Passport enterprise.

What I want to begin working on is some basic guidelines for content presentation, a code of ethics, a linking protocol, some rudimentary visual standards, a common discussion forum and a system for distributing information to avoid duplication and repetitiveness.

Eric Janssen of Qblog is the “Big Chief” and Passport Stooge who runs his website with the unexpressed purpose of directing unwary Quixtar IBO’s into the waiting arms of Bo Short and Passport. Shame on you Eric Janssen, for your lies and deceit against Quixtar and the Quixtar IBO’s.

So what do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? You willing to help? I don't think I can do this alone. Leave a comment or send me an email. I'm all ears.

Qrush thinks it was a terrible idea if you had any ethics, but knows that Bo Short loves it because he does not have ethics or integrity for that matter. This explains why every mention of Bo Short is deified on Qblog and every mention of the diamonds is sarcastically displayed and criticized. Eric you will be exposed as the scam artist you are and there is no hiding from Qrush. The noose around the “Unholy Trinity’s” neck is tightening, it is time to open up and drink some of your own medicine. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and reams of available post that display Qblog’s Eric Janssen's compromised position.

Bo Short's Passport Dirty Little Secrets?

2004-10-25T11:58:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush has been laughing so hard while reading the B.S. (that stands for Bo Short) written by B.S. about his Passport Forum. Bo Short attacks every leader in Quixtar in a desperate attempt to salvage his sinking Passport ship and then states he started his forum because of the alleged attack on his character? This is so hypocritical that even Eric Janssen (Bo Short’s Passport Stooge) can recognize this as a crime against decency. Bo Short's comments are in blue with Qrush's comments to follow.

Why This Forum
The purpose of utilizing this forum is to offer my opinions and experiences as a former diamond in the Amway/Quixtar business.

Real Purpose: When Bo Short discovered that bashing Quixtar was helping him in his marketing campaign to gather bottom feeders from Quixtar into his pathetic business, he started this forum. Like Bo always says, “If the debt load is big enough, integrity doesn’t count.”

It was not until recently that I decided to proceed with this format. The reasoning was simple: I refuse to let my name and actions be tarnished by a company and their distributor leadership, whose behavior I find so offensive. I felt my only recourse was to publicly discuss the "real" reasons behind my deciding to walk away from the income as well as my position in that business.

Real Reason: Bo Short left the Quixtar business over three years ago as a platinum. Bo bought his way to diamond by purchasing PV for three legs and has admitted to spending over $60,000 to do so. No one really cares why an also ran faker like Bo Short quit Quixtar and his former group celebrates the day he quit. Bo Short’s reputation is not worth protecting and Bo’s character is the only thing with more holes in it than his Passport business. Is this the type of character any self respecting person would want to be in business with?

This is in response to comments such as the following from a letter dated June 25, 2002, to an acquaintance of mine in which Quixtar's Manager of Global Business Conduct and Rules, Gary VanderVen is credited with saying, "Bo Short was not forced to resign. He voluntarily quit when faced with complaints from other IBOs that he violated Quixtar's Rule 4.14."

This is the big character attack that is the reason you started your forum? Bo Short has attacked so many leaders of Quixtar that Qrush will attempt to list some, but this is only a partial list.

Rich DeVos – attacked his character
Ken McDonald – accused of lying
Jody Victor – accused of lying and pride
Billy Florence – accused of deception
Bill Britt – accused of infidelity
Dexter Yager – accused of misrepresentations
John Parker – accused of lying
Orrin Woodward – accused of running a pyramid
Greg Duncan – accused of lying
Dean Kosage – accused of anger management issues

Bo Short attacks all the above plus others not even mentioned. Gary then states why Bo Short is a quitter and Bo Short starts yet another forum to bash Quixtar? Give Qrush a break, I am not buying this B.S. Bo Short is the biggest two faced, mush for brains, gutless, John Kerry like, meathead that Qrush has ever had the privilege to see in action. Bo Short directs over 2/3 of the negative sites you will read about Quixtar and all for his own personal gain. Bo Short is not an honest Quixtar critic, but an opportunist that believes he can bash Quixtar to gain associates for his tiny Passport operation.

This statement has been repeated time and again by Quixtar IBO's. It is simply not true. I understand that Mr. VanderVen may be uncomfortable explaining the true reason behind my deciding to leave. However, in my opinion, saying something that results in disparaging my name and business interests is inappropriate...at best.

If Bo Short feels that Mr. VanderVen's comments are inappropriate, then he must feel his comments are atrocious and lacking in decency. Bo Short actually quit the Quixtar business because his group had deteriorated below a platinum level and he lost all of his speaking engagements due to his known lack of character. When Bo Short quit Quixtar it was out of embarrassment at his own lack of leadership.

I have recently been interviewed by Dateline NBC about what I learned regarding that business that caused me to quit. Having served as the Corporate Liaison for a small group of diamonds that were challenging the "system" kingpins, I had private conversations with high-ranking corporate officials as well as board members that supposedly represent the best interest of the distributors. Those conversations and the subsequent information I discovered were shocking. I believed there was no option but to quit. I refuse to be a part of something that, in my opinion, has been corrupted.

Bo Short never served as the Corporate Liaison for TIF because he was rejected when he went to discuss issues when Quixtar discovered to Bo Short’s chagrin that he was not a qualified diamond and therefore not qualified to represent Team in Focus. Bo is an incredible storyteller and has a hard time remembering truth from fiction. Bo looked stiffer than Al Gore on Dateline and the whole program flew like a lead balloon.

I was asked why I would expose my experiences and findings in the public forum. The answer is three-fold. First and not to overdramatize the situation; I believe that public knowledge offers my family more safety than my knowing something that remains in the shadows. Secondly, I believe this information can protect people from falling victim to, what is in my opinion, abhorrent behavior at best. And thirdly, I have a beautiful daughter whom I love with all my heart. I believe that I have a responsibility to teach her that doing the right thing is not always easy.but it is always necessary.

Bo Short, the only person’s behavior that is abhorrent is yours. Your daughter will be ashamed to know the depth of your depravity as she gets older. Why do you feel the urge to attack others to make yourself look good? Didn’t your dad and mom teach you anything about character? If you feel Passport is a better business than Quixtar then please feel free to prove it by your actions, not your words. Bo Short has run Passport for three years and has yet to achieve anyone making even $500/month. Bo Short has built his whole smoke and mirrors business on his personality, without one piece of data to analyze on his whole business.

Therefore, I have decided to offer answers to the many inquiries I receive about my leaving Quixtar. Additionally, I will be able to address those statements that have been made about me that are simply untrue. I will do so, in part, by offering my opinions and experiences from my interaction with corporate officials and their distributor "kingpins".

Bo Short wishes to bash Quixtar and get a personal phone call with your where he can tell lies about Quixtar and steal you into Passport. If you join Passport, you will find out what three years worth of former Passport associates have found out; namely, that Bo Short is a fake with no business except his infamous Gang of 4. Beware of associating with people that teach you to tear down other to make yourself look good. This is a path of destruction to your own character.

I believe in and am thankful for our 1st Amendment Right to free speech. Each of us has a voice and a story to tell. I look forward to addressing your questions in this forum and reading about your experiences as well. Sincerely,Bo Short

Qrush believes and is thankful for our 1st Amendment Right to free speech and will continue to expose Bo Short until he begins to build Passport with integrity or closes shops and seek professional help for his lack of integrity. Qrush’s voice will be heard until the Unholy Trinity repents. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on Qrush’s ever expanding experiences and opinions about Passport. Qrush’s comments are meant to help unwary Quixtar IBO’s learn the facts on Bo Short and Passport. Qrush enjoys practicing freedom of speech and appreciates Bo Short encouraging me to do so.

Bo Short's Passport FAQ's II?

2004-10-22T15:59:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is finishing part two of Bo Short’s Passport Frequently Asked Questions. Passport’s official answers are in blue and Qrush’s qrushing answers are following along with the actual questions a potential associate should ask before jumping onto Passport’s sinking ship.

6. Do Passport products come with a money-back guarantee?

Absolutely, Passport offers a 100%, 30-day, money-back satisfaction guarantee (less shipping charges) to all Preferred Clients, retail customers, and Associates.

Real Answer: Qrush finds it interesting that the return policy is only for 30 days. Most people don’t get around to using all the products until the guarantee is over. Almost all companies have a 30 day guarantee and Quixtar has a longer return policy. Question: Can I return any unused inventory that my sponsor made me buy during one of his 30 day pushes?

7. Why has Passport developed In-Plan (IP) and Out-of-Plan (OP) bonuses?

It is our belief that people should be rewarded for their personal efforts as well as their team's efforts. More often than not, personal sales cannot be attributed to your sponsor's assistance as much as they are directly related to yours. On the other hand, building a team that generates volume is more often the result of shared efforts and should be rewarded equitably.

Real Answer: Passport is a quick way to make $20 your first month and then when you use the poor products and realize how much work this will take with little reward the associates quit. It is next to impossible to make any long term money in this business because the reward does not flow to the performer. Question: Can you name anyone who is making even $500/month with this In-Plan and Out-of-Plan concept?

8. Why does Passport compensate three (3) levels in depth?

This is another area that is contrary to many multi-level organizations. Passport believes that our Associates should not toil for years enriching others. Therefore, we chose to place the "pay out" on three levels, thereby making it extremely accessible to anyone willing to do the work. Additionally, we made the out-of-plan bonus very lucrative by offering a 50% bonus to our Associates.

Real Answer: This is the downfall of Passport as a viable business plan. It just does not pay for anyone to step up into leadership in the multi-level plan. You can tell that this plan was developed by a liberal arts student that does not have the foggiest idea about basic math, let alone geometric progressions. Question: Why would anyone continue to help their group after three levels in this idiotic program?

9. How often does Passport pay bonus checks?

Bonuses are paid on a monthly basis.

Real Answer: Bonuses are paid on a monthly basis right after Sandy Short brings home her paycheck. Question: Has anyone ever received a $1,000 check from Passport? Question: How about a $5,000 check? Qrush states again that this business has not helped even one person be financially independent after 3 years.

10. Can I advertise my Passport business?

Yes, with certain restrictions. Passport's corporate office must approve any and all advertising conducted by its associates. Your Business Compendium gives you more information regarding this.

Real Answer: Yes, and the recommended way if you follow Bo Short, Ty Tribble, or Dave Stone’s lead is to create anti-Quixtar sites and link to Eric Janssen and Scott Larsen. If Passport must approve all advertising then Bo Short must condone the highly unethical parasite marketing techniques employed by the Passport Pimps. Question: Who wants to be in the Passport business, where the only thing they are good at is tearing down others? Question: Is your integrity for sale like these Passport bozos?

11. Does Passport provide a mentoring program?

Yes, we do. Passport has developed a Business Development Process that is available to each Associate in their Associate's Business Portfolio. Your upline support team will assist you in learning this valuable component of your independent business.

Real Answer: Bo Short is running a small junta of 4 active associates. Your upline support team is Bo Short, Ty Tribble and Dave Stone and they will teach you how to hate Quixtar and be a victim. Question: Name one person that Passport has successfully mentored to do anything besides be a Quixtar basher?

It is our belief that people looking to build a business in this industry want to be mentored. However, we also believe they are looking for people to help them as "equals". We value the skills that each of our Associates brings to the table, we also want to teach them how to build a profitable product/people focused business. Passport and your upline support team are there to assist you every step of the way. Between company-sponsored meetings, one-on-one instruction, and conference calls, we provide extensive mentoring for our Associates.

Real Answer: A mentoring program must be judged based on its results. Passport has helped no one who has achieved any results; therefore, the mentoring program is a cruel joke. Question: What can the blind leading the blind lead to? Bo Short has admitted to ethical discrepancies in buying his diamond pin in Amway and Qrush would not recommend anyone mentor with unethical leaders of this mode. Question: What can financially busted people like Bo, Ty, and Dave possibly teach others besides how to be financially busted?

12. Is there emphasis on purchasing training materials?

This question is critically important to us at Passport. In a word… NO! Passport's business is not geared toward bombarding its Associates with weekly tapes and paid meetings or other support materials. It is a violation of the Business Rules for anyone to charge their Associates for meetings.

Real Answer: Passport does not train and that is the reason they have no success. If you wish to be part of a first class operation, then expect to be trained, taught, stretched and encouraged. Beware of any organization that promises big results with no effort. Beware of companies who bash others to make themselves look good. Passport promises the moon and delivers government cheese. Question: How do you truly build a working team without any person to person contact?

Additionally, Passport sales aids are available as Free downloads in the Associates Only section of our website.

Real Answer: What could they possibly train people to do when they have no results. You get what you pay for and that is why Passport is so cheap. Question: Can the high technology internet truly replace the encouraging handshake or the excited high five of teammates?

This wraps up Qrush’s answers to the Frequently Asked Questions. Qrush encourages all potential associates to first give your head a shake and second to make sure you get these question answered honestly before proceeding. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and three years of lackluster to apathetic results in the poorly led, poorly conceived, and embarrassingly implemented plan of the Passport business fiasco.

Bo Short's Passport FAQ's?

2004-10-21T11:20:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush decided it was time to give the real answers to the Frequently Asked Questions about Passport. Passport’s official answers are in blue and Qrush’s qrushing answers are following along with a list of question to be sure Bo Short answers before even considering the catastrophe of a business known as Passport.

1. Who founded Passport, and what was the motivation?

Passport was founded by Robert "Bo" Short, who serves as our CEO. Bo has more than a decade of experience in this industry and has built a network spanning more than 20 countries. He launched Passport to offer more value to independent associates in the industry.

Real Answer: Bo Short bought most of three legs to fake a diamond pin. Bo Short had less than 250 people in his group when he went diamond which is one of the smallest diamonds in Amway's history. Any overseas business that he did have was built mainly by others in his upline’s organization. Bo faked a diamond pin to gain a share in the speaking money and have the ability to sell his hypocritical books. This is not the type of leader that any sane person would choose to be in business with. Question: How much money did Bo Short spend in buying his diamond pin? Is this the type of integrity that Bo Short models in Passport?

Bo's perception is that companies in the industry offer quality products but at prices that are excessively high, therefore greatly reducing their value and the potential for customer development. He also believes that compensation plans are oftentimes difficult to understand and reward only a small percentage of the people while others toil for years with little to show for their efforts. Bo's unique perspective allows Passport to do things decidedly new and "cutting-edge" in the industry.

Real Answer: This is definitely Bo Short’s perception, because it certainly isn’t the facts. The Passport compensation plan is the most confusing Qrush has ever seen and I can’t figure out how someone could even make money. This is backed up by the fact that no one has made any money after three years. Bo Short's business is not "cutting-edge" or "leading-edge," but more like "bleeding edge." Question: Is there anyone in Passport making even $500/month after expenses after three years in business? Question: How many active associates are there in Passport after three years?

2. Where is Passport headquartered and what markets does it serve?

We are headquartered in central Virginia less than 15 miles from the home of the author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson. While our corporate office is in Virginia, our affiliated sites are strategically located in various parts of the country. Passport serves all 50 states and U.S. territories including Guam, U.S.Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, etc.

Real Answer: Passport is located in Bo Short’s garage and is a smoke and mirrors operation. What the heck does it being close to Thomas Jefferson home have to do with anything? You know it is a smoke and mirrors business when a company will waste space and time to point out that one of the redeeming characteristics of their business is that it is close to the home of one of our founding fathers. Passport has borrowed the use of garages in Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Question: What are the gross sales of Passport products achieved annually in the last three years. Qrush believes this is relevant information to decide the fiscal performance of a company.

3. In the case of my death, can my business be willed to my children?

Yes. Passport knows that your business is one that you have worked diligently to build. One that you have worked hard to build. Your business is willable to your heirs, indefinitely. See your Business Compendium for details.

Real Answer: At the current $10/month average that the Passport associate makes, it will be more expensive to do the paperwork than to tell Dave Stone, Ty Tribble, and Bo Short to keep their pitiable business. Question: Who would want or need the extra $10/month if they have to associate with Scott Larsen and Eric Janssen to make it?

4. Is Passport a dot.com company?

No, though Passport does have an Internet presence, much like any other large company. We recognize and take advantage of different technologies to make your business more accessible and easier to build. Passport has chosen to integrate the best use of the Internet, the best of innovative marketing, and the best of business ownership into one company.

Real Answer: Passport is not even a real company let alone a dot.com company. If you consider the Gang of 4 a real company then Qrush has ocean front property in Arizona that you need to look at. (For Passport associates please look at a map to identify where Arizona is so you can understand Qrush’s humor.) Question: How much money did it take to start Passport and where did Bo Short get the money. Sources tell Qrush that he borrowed the money from the Sweat family. Bo Short denies this, so where did he get the money? Question: What is the debt service/month that Passport is supporting to keep its garage doors open?

5. Are Passport products exclusive to Passport?

Yes. All of the products that are available through Passport were developed solely for our Associates, and are unique to the Passport business.

Real Answer: No one else would want the poor quality no name products, so of course they are exclusive to Passport. Question: If Passport and Bo Short are a real company with real products, then why are you not part of the Direct Sales Association? This is the first place that a real MLM company would go for credibility.

Quixtar Qrush will finish the Frequently Asked Questions of Passport in a future post. When will Bo Short learn that it would be easier for him to start building his Passport business without bashing Quixtar. Bo should know the ancient Chinese Proverb: People who cannot swim should not attempt to throw others off the dock. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and are meant to help the unwary Quixtar IBO understand the inherently dangerous position of the Passport business and Bo Short. Qrush is merely practicing freedom of speech in the USA.

Bo Short's Eric Janssen Attacks Qrush?

2004-10-20T11:47:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush character has been under attack because I refuse to allow Eric Janssen, Scott Larsen, and Bo Short to use the Quixtar critics topic as their personal advertising forum for Passport. As part of the “Unholy Trinity’s” strategy, they attack Qrush’s post as full of lies and character assassinations. Qrush will not allow these hypocrites to attack without an answer. Qblog’s Eric Janssen post is in blue with Qrush responses to follow.

Character Assassin Backpedalling?
It's generally bad form for a blogger to yank posts without explanation. However, one active blogger (and vocal critic of this blog) has removed an especially vicious and possibly libelous personal assault against Quixtar Critic Scott Larsen and for that I'm grateful. I usually don't like to see content of any sort removed but when that content crosses the line, as it clearly did in this situation, then I'm glad to see it gone.

Qrush had received emails from a man claiming to be Scott Larsen’s lover. After receiving emails from numerous sources on the same subject Qrush felt this subject should be discussed to ascertain the validity of the emails. After many attempts at second party confirmations of the emails Qrush became concerned that the emails may have been a set up by the “Unholy Trinity” to discredit everything Qrush has exposed. As a new blogger and unaware of the level of deceit that the “Unholy Trinity” would stoop to discredit me, I reconsidered this post and deleted it. This was over a month ago and if I was supposed to put a disclaimer up to announce the deleted post, consider this the disclaimer. Qrush will leave nothing on my site that does not have at least two independent party confirmations and I felt the Scott Larsen post may have been a set up by the same or related parties.

The post in question came from a guy calling himself "Qrush" and he's basically critical of anyone who doesn't share his extremist ideology. His now-missing August 28 entry was titled "Scott Larsen Sadomasochist Pinko Sicko?" and it began by discussing communists and quickly degenerated into a hate-filled diatribe about sexuality. I was disgusted.

Eric Janssen, read the post again and you will see I stated explicitly that I do not hate gays or anyone for that matter including the “Unholy Trinity.” Qrush’s attempt was at sharing information. When I realized the stunt you and your friends had played on me I immediately pulled the article. I find it interesting how you can call the article “hate-filled” and yet Scott Larsen and Bo Short routinely attack the diamonds character and they are the star guest on your blog. You are truly a hypocrite of the first order Eric Janssen and the truth will come out. Eric, were you disgusted at the hate-filled diatribes from Scott Larsen and Bo Short on Bill Britt, Dexter Yager, Dean Kosage, Fred Harteis, Greg Duncan, and Orrin Woodward? Why didn’t you speak up against your friends then?

But I wasn't always disgusted with the Qrush blog. When it first appeared, I said that I loved it and I wasn't lying. I admired the guy for being "candid" and saying what a lot of IBOs were probably thinking. However, the "Sicko" post that forced me to reevaluate my original assessment. Is the "Qrush" blog really just the honest (if not misguided) rantings of an angry IBO or is it part of some larger, coordinated smear campaign?

Eric Janssen, you know that there is too much truth on Qrush’s website and that is why you constantly attack me. One poor judgement post cannot make a blog bad anymore than one poor Winston Churchill speech determines whether he is a great speaker or not. Qrush finds it interesting you are concerned about a Quixtar smear campaign when you are the Chief of the negative Indians in their smear campaign against Quixtar and its various leaders.

Smear Campaign?
A smear campaign is a systematic attempt by an individual or group to malign another individual or group's reputation, usually to undermine the confidence the public holds in the target. Smear campaigns rarely address the issues, preferring rumors to facts and anonymity to accountability. Several facts about the "Qrush" blog seem to indicate that it's part of a coordinated smear campaign.

Qblog Eric, you would have plenty of experience with smear campaigns because that is exactly what you are running against Quixtar. Qblog plays the pretend neutral while Bo Short and Scott Larsen bash away at Quixtar. Qblog then links to these miscreants and directs traffic into Bo Short’s phone conferences. The strategy might have worked if Bo Short was a stronger leader and had a real business model. Scott Larsen’s “Hall of Shame” is just that shameful. The fact that Bo Short and Eric Janssen support Scott’s behavior makes them at best unwilling accomplices, but actually full partners to the crime against decency.

Each month an estimated $100-500 is being spent to advertise the blog on various search engines.

Qrush has no idea what is being spent to advertise, but I never knew that advertising was against the law. What was Ty Tribble’s ads costing him before he backed off due to Qrush exposing his deviant behavior.

Billy Florence, a leader in Quixtar's Web Initiative, has voiced his support of "Qrush" on various blogs and in alleged emails.

Qrush received an email from Billy Florence’s web master and has not talked with them since. Qrush has received emails from many Quixtar IBO’s thanking me for exposing the truth about Bo Short. Do Quixtar IBO’s not have the right to use the internet as freely as Passport associates use it?

The "Qrush" blog is totally anonymous.

Qrush must remain anonymous due to the threatening emails I receive from the “Unholy Trinity” who only believe in freedom of speech one way. Qrush believes that the facts speak for themselves and Qrush has multiple posts where the “Unholy Trinity’s” own words condemn themselves.

The character attacks are primarily focused on at least two of the four individuals named in Quixtar's Response to the Dateline show, Bo Short and Scott Larsen.

The Qrush site was designed to expose the unethical acts of three individuals. Bo Short, Scott Larsen, and Eric Janssen have combined to attack the Quixtar business and create interest in a small pathetic business known as Passport. Qrush was tired of the hypocritical character and actions of Bo Short and felt it was time for him to drink some of his own medicine.

So why did the "Qrush" guy yank the "Sicko" post? I have no idea. Maybe his conscience kicked in or maybe someone at Quixtar ordered him to remove it. Who knows. I'd ask the guy but he doesn't to respond to emails. Whatever the reason, I'm just glad it's gone.

Qrush pulled the post because I have a conscience and will not let any post stay on my website that cannot stand the two independent party confirmation tests. Qrush was tricked once, but learns quickly. Eric Janssen, do you have enough of a conscience to admit your obvious support of Passport? Be a man Eric Janssen and confess your guilt. I have never received an email from Quixtar, either positive or negative, but I am sure they would rather see me disappear. Qrush will exit the field as soon as the “Unholy Trinity” apologizes for their unethical behavior. The ball is in the “Unholy Trinity’s” court and the fact they will not quit bashing Quixtar does more to prove Qrush’s position than any other factor. If Bo Short was not intending to bash Quixtar to steal their IBO’s then why continue to bash Quixtar after three years? Haven’t you already said everything ten times over already? The only reason to continue this madness is because you are practicing parasite marketing and you must steal Quixtar IBO’s or go out of business. Qrush has better things to do with his life, but there is no peace without justice.

Qrush would like to challenge Qblog to please point out all these alleged lies that Qrush is saying. If Eric Janssen, Bo Short, or Scott Larsen can prove any part of Qrush’s post is off then Qrush will be more than happy to update with the correct facts. Barring this, Qrush does not appreciate the character assassination that Qblog has attempted on me. You cannot call someone a liar without pointing out the lies and also the corresponding truth. Didn’t they teach you anything in journalism class Eric? Or did you take yellow journalism classes and the professor was Dan Rather? It is not a sign of weakness when someone admits to making a mistake, but a sign of strength. Qrush will let my reader audience decide who is telling the truth and who is protecting his employer or idol. If Scott Larsen or anyone else would like to sue, subpoena, or communicate with Qrush, you know my email address. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I attempt to help Eric Janssen’s conscience begin to work again after years disuse.

Bo Short Passport Expose' on DateFeline?

2004-10-20T06:21:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is proud to announce the DateFeline expose on Bo Short's Passport has finally been released. Over a years worth of research to produce one of the most shocking accounts of what really happened at Passport's first and only function. See for yourself, Passport had to do things differently to assuage Bo Short's temper. Qrush thinks it is funny how the Passport Gang of 4 is now denying that they are attempting to steal Quixtar IBO's. Lets to a test, what do Bo Short, Ty Tribble, and Dave Stone all have in common? Answer: The all were abject failures in Quixtar which led them to bash Quixtar and start Passport. Qrush has talked with over 10 former members of Passport (they all quit like everyone does that mess) and they all said they heard about Passport and Bo Short from Bo Short's site. The Gang of 4 uses irrational talk like, "yeah but Bo Short doesn't mention Passport on his Quixtar bashing sites." I hope the Gang of 4 really isn't that stupid for their family's sakes. Qrush would like to point out to the Gang of 4 morons that people who are intelligient enough to search Quixtar would also have the capability to search Bo Short.

The reason the Passport ship is half sunk and collecting water at a furious rate is because people now get more information on the smoke and mirrors Passport Scam. On the internet you cannot fool prospects with your B.S. Quixtar Qrush has no problem with freedom of speech and if you had a bad experience, Qrush believes your upline should work with you to resolve it. Qrush will not stand for the "Unholy Trinity" and their devious tactics that make a sham of the real Quixtar critics. You cannot be a real Quixtar critic when you are running a competing (I use that word real loosely) MLM. Bo Short is being exposed as the con artist he is and Qrush has received plenty of emails from Quixtar Critics saying the same thing. No one likes a con artist, especially the critics Bo Short has used for his own gain. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my experiences and opinions and the clear abuses perpetrated by the Gang of 4.

Bo Short's Passport Poem?

2004-10-19T15:36:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is receiving emails thanking me for getting out the rest of the story. It also seems that we have many creative capable people in the Quixtar community. Bo Short and his evil Unholy Trinity is being exposed more every day. Bo Short ought to be embarrassed for even thinking he could pull off such a dastardly deed. Here is a hilarious poem about Bo Short and his silly Passport business.

He started out okay
Paid for each word he’d say
Except not a Quixtar Diamond,
He was from the old Amway.

He was good on stage
And passionate, too
But build a big team
He just couldn’t do.

So he lived off speeches
And his books he’d pawn
Until his Amway business
Was nearly gone.

Only when it shrank
To the miniscule
Did he then jump ship
And say they’re breaking rules.

With new conscience
He suddenly found
And targeted Q groups
The best around!

Advertise on line
Search engines, too
Just call ol’ Bo
He’ll tell you what to do.

Only thing is
He has no plan
Cry foul play
Bite the hand.

Passport, he says
Is not an also-ran
It’s a real company
Jump on the band.

Bo will call you
Nothing else to do
With hours to talk
Soliciting you.

Can’t be out helping
Those he stole
Too busy calling
the next poor soul.

But take it from him
He’s in the right
Those other groups
Will be in flight.

It occurred to me
Talking on the phone
He has to pay for
His Charlottsville home.

Built it with money
He’d made from speaking
Can’t have that now
The boat is leaking.

No one to hire him
No group to support
“Better run off and
Start PASSPORT.”

“Target others
And say they’re bad
They’ll run to me
I’ll be their dad.”

“Atop my own
Self-styled heap.
I’ll make a living
On the cheap.”

In the end its
A simple story.
Ego gone wild
Wants the glory.

Quits every thing
He ever starts
From Limo service to
Country music parts.

Amway, Quixtar
Team in Focus, sure,
Passport will be
Only just one more.

And when it’s gone
And Bo’s moved on
Living off
His friend's loan.

Where will they be
These ones he’s lead?
Left in his wake
With nothing said.

Ask those who followed
And believed him, before
If he is honest or
A common whore.

Some will say each
There is good chance
But as for me, I’ll
Keep up my pants.

Quixtar Qrush must not be the only person who sees through Bo Short's hypocrisy. Stay tuned for more Qrushing evidence against Scott Larsen and his hapless life. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and a humorous email that encourages Qrush to finish the battle started by the Unholy Trinity.

Scott Larsen a Dilbert or Bo Short's Buffoon?

2004-10-18T02:43:00.000-07:00

Qrush is getting the goods on Scott Larsen. Scott Larsen has accused Qrush of making Scott's pitiable life up, but in another example of truth is better than fiction Qrush has more to share. Qrush received information from a former co-worker on Scott's last assignment in the U.S. According to his co-worker Scott Larsen's job assignment was as a Senior Process Engineer. His responsibilities included:

Coordination of Process Development
Coordination with FV-depts., lead plants and Universities
Laser Welding
Torque Processes
ECM Rounding

These low level job responsibilities sure do sound boring, no wonder you spend so much time bashing Quixtar with your pathetic life. Scott Larsen must have been the model to develop Dilbert, a bumbling engineer with no skills. Why does all this matter? Scott Larsen continues to send Qrush emails saying that Scott didn't crawl back into his job. O.K. Scott then why did Bosch ask you to come back to take such a junior assignment job? Over 40 years old and Bosch is smart enough to keep you out of management and yet you are the self proclaimed expert in the MLM business? Is your modus operandi, "those who can, do, and those who can't develop internet sites to cry, lie, libel, and attack?" How is Mr. Roos your former boss doing, Scott Larsen? Now that I have Scott's attention and the rest of my reader audience Qrush will share why Scott Larsen went back to work according to his co-worker.

"Scott played the market and was convinced that he had found the secret to success. Scott told all of us that he would be a millionaire before he was 50. . . Next thing we knew he was back at work and all he would say is his investments didn't turn out as planned."

Scott, why don't you share the truth about your failed investments and the embarrassment you must have felt crawling back into Bosch like the emporer with no clothes? Your co-workers think you are a putz and Qrush had no evidence available to argue otherwise with them. C'mon this is the internet and a full disclosure from the alleged expert on finances and money should be forthcoming? Scott was that enough detail for you to know that I have the inside story or would you like me to share more? Qrush sure does enjoy freedom of speech. Thank you Scott Larsen, Bo Short and Eric Janssen for inspiring me. Plenty more details to follow from Scott's co-worker. Boy Scott, thank you for leaving a trail of destructed relationships wherever you go, you sure know how to tick your former associates off. This sure makes it easier for Qrush to gather information. Bo Short and Scott Larsen both can't seem to keep any friends. I wonder if lack of integrity and narcissistic behavior have anything to do with their shared dillemma? Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences and an email from a co-worker that is sick of Scott Larsen's lies and deceitful behavior.

Evidence Mounting Against Scott Larsen & Bo Short?

2004-10-15T13:32:00.000-07:00

Qrush's Passport friend has caught Scott Larsen on tape attempting to discredit Quixtar. See this Passport link for more details. Scott Larsen and his story is sounding less credible all the time. Qrush over and out.

Scott Larsen Nagging Narcissist?

2004-10-15T06:44:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush has determined that Scott Larsen is showing all the medical signs of mental dementia. Qrush read and enjoyed the article on Quixtar Defender about narcissism and was struck by the parallels between the American Psychiatric Association definition and Scott Larsen’s life. The following is a comparison between the definition of narcissism and Scott Larsen’s life. Qrush will review the first two points in this post with the rest to follow in future post. Quixtar Defender’s comments are in blue. Scott Larsen's emails are in red.

What is narcissism?

According to the American Psychiatric Association, the disorder is described as a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, lack of empathy . . . as indicated by five or more of the following:

1. A grandiose sense of self-importance.
The Internet Terrorists of Quixtar certainly demonstrate this trait. I have said all along that they are puffed up with their "cause" and their unrealistic sense of self-importance.

Scott Larsen truly believes he is God and can do no wrong. Scott Larsen will not admit to making a mistake and when someone crosses Scott Larsen they will suffer retribution. Here is an email snippet Scott Larsen wrote in 2001.

I wonder how such a self confessed Christian can lie so easily and with little conscience?

Has Quixtar reprimanded him yet?

Somehow Scott is deluded into thinking he is the Quixtar Watchdog over the diamond organizations. Scott Larsen had tape recorded this diamond’s open meeting and then filed complaints to every known government organization he could think of. (Only a slight exaggeration) Qrush’s question is who the hell is Scott Larsen and what was he doing in an open meeting in 2001? This was years after he quit the Amway business let alone never being in the Quixtar business. Scott wrote this email to the wife of the diamond to harass and bully. What kind of man would harass another person’s wife? Why would Bo Short an alleged friend of this former diamond work and support Scott Larsen? Are these are the type of friends you make when you sign up with Bo Short & Passport?

2. Preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success or POWER
Particularly power. The Internet Terrorists feel a sense of power and preeminence with what they do.

Scott Larsen likes to use his website as a power to blackmail diamond organizations into doing Scott’s bidding. Here is another email excerpt from 2002.

Hey I found the passwords to your site on a search engine. I heard ***** quit and ***** did not qualify for platinum. Do you need to update the “Success Page” for them. Got to keep those websites up to date you know.

Hey I heard you made a new video with a new plan selling for 18 bucks a pop. Do I get a cut for “technical advice”?

Qrush believes this is convincing evidence that Scott Larsen is power driven and angry. This email is a personal email to a diamond that is denigrating and offensive. This is Scott Larsen’s true style. Do not be fooled by the happy face Scott Larsen puts on in his website. Scott is a spiteful, hateful man that is filled with anger at the successful diamonds he wishes to destroy. Scott will stop at nothing less than destroying the Quixtar business. Scott Larsen gets his jollies by attacking the leaders of Quixtar. His bullying has gone on long enough unchecked. If you have had contact with this evil man, please email Qrush. Qrush is sending letters to various diamonds with a list of offenses against them on Scott’s site. Qrush will reveal much more of Scott Larsen’s immoral activity in my next Scott Larsen post. What is Scott Larsen worst nightmare? Being exposed. Qrush over and out.

The following statements are based on my opinions and experiences and emails from a very angry man who needs major psychiatric help.

Bo Short's Passport Latest Marketing Gimmick?

2004-10-14T09:09:00.000-07:00

Quixtar Qrush is laughing so hard I can barely type these words. Qrush has discovered Passport's latest technique to steal Quixtar IBO's. I never knew that the Passport King Rat knew how to dance like this. Qrush always knew Bo could say the smooth words to woo Quixtar IBO's. Bo looks at everyone on his team as cheese to be ground through his Passport business. Qrush especially liked the traps set by Ty and Dave websites to capture Quixtar IBO's attention long enough for Bo Short's personal phone call. Does anyone have their conversation with Bo Short on tape to verify if he actually sings to them? Oh well, Qrush refuses to let his reader audience wait any longer. Here is Passport's latest marketing gimmick? I guess Bo resorted to dancing to convince prospects since he refuses to show any data after three years in business. Qrush falling over laughing and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I seek to determine how one person was foolish enough to sign up with these Passport rats.
