Robert Paisola honored on /Wall of Fame

Bob Paisola "bled blue."

Of all the compliments paid to the former principal of Lompoc High School, he considered that the highest.

Paisola, principal of the school whose colors were blue and white, was also known as "Mr. Blue" for his love of and dedication to the school during his tenure as principal from 1965 to 1988 and even after. The school/s gymnasium, Paisola Pavilion, is named for him.

Tuesday, accolades were paid to and fond memories recalled of the former principal at the Lompoc Unified School District/s board of education meeting. The occasion was the unveiling of a granite plaque on the district/s Wall of Fame honoring Paisola, who passed away last November at the age of 74.

"For me, Bob Paisola was Lompoc High School," said Gary Prucha, counselor, who worked with the principal until Paisola/s retirement. "He is the person by whom all other administrators should be measured."

Ohio-born, Paisola served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. He was an educator for 34 years, coming to the Lompoc Unified School District from Escondido in 1963, first as an administrator at Lompoc Junior High School, then, starting in 1964, at Lompoc High School.

Paisola was lauded by family and those who worked with him or remember him as a man who expected the best from himself and others, in both sports and academics. He presided over what is still described as the "Golden Age" of Lompoc High sports, with many Northern League and CIF titles. Even after his retirement, he attended everyone of the school/s football games and was known to give advice or encouragement afterward.

"He was the No. 1 football fan, but he was (also) the No. 1 supporter of everything," said Lompoc High teacher Jim Warrick, who also attended the school under Paisola. "He was there to support everybody."

Paisola/s widow, Betty, as well as his daughter, Bobbie, and her husband and son, Mark, and Eric Eggleston, were at the Wall of Fame ceremony.

"He/s done a lot for the school," said Bobbie. "He had two kids but he really had 1,000."

Her mother agreed.

"It/s a real honor; he would feel that way," Betty said. "Anyone who knew him, knew he bled blue."

The wall, by the flagpole in front of the district Education Center on North A Street, was established in 1996 "to honor those who have made significant contributions to the school district," according to board President Sue Schuyler. The honorees can be professional educators or community members.

Honorees are selected for the Wall of Fame by the board and community members who serve on the selection committee. Others previously honored with a place on the wall are Billy Williams, Alice Milligan, Glendon Wagner, Karl Braun, Ruth Hadley, Cecelia "Cee" Frankhouser and John Beattie

1/11/05 Ah, the comforts of home.

Lompoc High/s boys basketball team improved to 4-0 in Paisola Pavilion on the season, and more importantly 3-0 in the Los Padres League with a win over Morro Bay.

LPL boys basketball

Lompoc 64, Morro Bay 45

Boo Jackson had 22 points, Sean Webb 21 for Lompoc as the Braves won their fourth in a row after coming off a 4-7 December road trip.

Lompoc led all the way. The Braves were up 18-11 after one quarter, 29-19 at the half, 46-35 after three.

Six-foot-six center Alex Raj and Dylan Royer each scored 14 and Jung Cabot chipped in 10 for the Pirates, who fell to 0-2 in the LPL and 7-9 overall.

"Their pressure defense gave us trouble," said Morro Bay coach Mark Berokoff. "Their coach is doing a very impressive job with that defense. But that is what has been giving us trouble all season.

"Our half-court offense is OK. Nobody in this league can really stop Raj. But we commit turnovers, a lot of them silly turnovers."

"That big guy (Raj) presented horrible problems for us," said LHS coach Jeff Jones. "We had to spend 12 fouls on him. They do a really good job of getting him the ball and he moves well, uses his body. So we had to press like crazy to give him as few opportunities as possible."

Raj, a 50 percent free throw shooter, was a little off at the charity stripe Monday night, making only 4-of-12. But on the defensive end he made sure the Braves were a little off on their interior shooting.

Still, Jackson, who also had 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 9 steals, managed to stop and pop for a few.

Meanwhile, Webb/s scoring included one clutch three-pointer each in the second, third and fourth quarters, each trey quieting a Pirate run. And Joey Erving, Mikell Ray and Daniel Diaz also each chipped in a three to make things easier for the Braves.

Meanwhile, Austin Card, who scored 6, and Joe Scott, who had 4, played solid all-around games for Lompoc. And Brave center Tryrell Coleman, who was in foul trouble the whole night, also made his presence felt by throwing Raj off his feed in the first quarter.

Coach Jones was encouraged by his team/s ball handling, particularly after the break. "We ended the sloppiness in the second half," he said.

Lompoc (8-7 overall) hosts St. Joseph in a battle of LPL 3-0s Wednesday. The varsity is slated to tip off at 7:30. Coach Jones hopes to have sophomore forward Anthony Burtley back for the St. Joe game. Burtley sprained an ankle against Santa Maria last Wednesday and has not played since.

The LHS varsity win completed a Brave three-game sweep at Paisola Monday night.

Lompoc/s junior varsity improved to 7-5 overall and 2-1 in the LPL with a 62-56 victory over the Morro Bay jayvees. Kirk Fridrich had 20 points, Daniel Bursey 14, Joe Alerta 10 for the Braves.

The Brave frosh sit 6-2 and 3-0 after their 61-58 overtime win over the Pirate ninth graders. Steve Morehart had 16, Tony Turnier 13, Chris Mallory 9 for Lompoc.

LPL girls basketball

Morro Bay 71, Lompoc 40

At Morro Bay, Kelly Blair had 28 points to lead the Pirates, who improved to 2-0 in the LPL and 7-5 overall.

Morro Bay led 24-14 after one, 30-18 at the half, 58-26 after three.

"They/re very good," said Lompoc coach Carolyn Jackson. "You get a hand in their face and they still make the shot. (Coach) Cary Nerelli does a great job. They are a quick and well-rounded team."

Brittany Garcia scored 18, Jozza Ray 8, Miranda Cromp 6 for the Braves, who fell to 1-2 in the Braves, who fell to 1-2, 3-11.

Lompoc is at St. Joseph Wednesday.

Nice night for the Tigers in Paisola Pavilion

12/6/02 Hold those Tigers.

Lompoc High/s girls basketball couldn/t Thursday evening in Paisola Pavilion, the result being an overtime victory for the Delano Tigers over the Braves in a Lompoc tourney opener.

Girls basketball

Delano 71, Lompoc 68 (OT)

Gigi Herrera had 30 points including six in overtime to lead Delano.

Trailing 48-41 going to the fourth quarter, Herrera had 14 in the final eight minutes of regulation to spark the Tigers in their comeback. Her heroics left things tied 60-60 going into overtime.

Julie Flores scored 14 for Delano on the game.

Lompoc (1-1) had 21 points from Caysi Garife, 18 from Natalie Fell. Fell chipped in six in OT.

After a 12-12 first quarter, the Braves led 31-26 at the half.

"Delano never quit. They battled the whole way," said Lompoc coach Bryan Ayer. "They made the plays they needed to.

"We didn/t finish the game. We looked tired out there," Ayer said.

SLO 50, Dos Pueblos 38

Earlier at Paisola Pavilion Thursday, another batch of Tigers, these from San Luis Obispo, cruised to a victory over Dos Pueblos.

SLO (2-0) grabbed a 24-6 first quarter lead in this one.

Lauren Villa had 16 points, Monica Somers 14 for San Luis Obispo. Lauren Freeman had 19 for Dos Pueblos.

AG 67, Santa Paula 59

In the afternoon game, Amanda Voss scored 20, Brooke Wighton 16 for the Eagles (1-1).

Sarah Ruiz had 33, including 19 in the fourth as Santa Paula hung tough.

Weekend schedule

Today/s action in the round-robin tourney sees Lompoc vs. Dos Pueblos at 3, SLO vs. Santa Paula at 4:30 and AG vs. Delano at 6.

Saturday, Delano and San Luis play at 1:30, DP and AG at 3, Santa Paula and Lompoc at 4:30.

VCA tourney

Cabrillo 47, Templeton 27

At the Valley Christian tourney in Santa Maria, Jenna Marshall scored 12, Shannon Bailey 11 as the Conquistadores improved to 2-0.

CHS had this in control all the way, grabbing a 13-6 lead out of one, 26-11 at the half and going up 42-22 after three.

"Hopefully, we/re just starting to improve," said Cabrillo coach Jesse Davis. "The girls did a better job of executing (than in the season-opening win over Atascadero)."

Cabrillo takes on St. Mary/s Academy of Inglewood this evening at 8. St. Mary/s drummed on Valley Christian 73-41 Thursday. If CHS wins, the Conqs will play in the championship Saturday at 2:30. If St. Mary/s wins, Cabrillo will play in the third-place game Saturday at 11:30.

Boys basketball

Hueneme 79, Cabrillo 62

"If the game was 16 minutes long, we/re winners," said Cabrillo coach Gary West, whose team led Hueneme 39-38 at the half.

But the Hueneme Vikings put the pedal to the metal and the Conqs (0-2) faded in the second half in the opening round at the Nordhoff Ojai tourney.

De Shaun Innes scored 28, Micah Forbes 17, Justin Hauley 13, Charles Dillon 10 for Hueneme.

Geoff West had 20, Thomas Woodard 11 for Cabrillo.

CHS tries Camp Kilpatrick this afternoon at 3 in a consolation bracket game at Nordhoff.

David Williams and Barry Bartl Hire Attorney Thomas Harper to Go After Sky Las Vegas, Robert Paisola Reports

All of the illegal conduct that has been happening at Sky Las Vegas is coming to a head. Two Residents have hired a Las Vegas Attorney to seek Justice.

Here is the status:

Dear Board Member,

I urge you to consider and act upon the attached attorney’s letter. Specifically, the non-compliant Board members (and they have been non-compliant for a very long time) need to resign immediately as per the laws cited in the attached letter. In addition, hiring an unqualified, unlicensed person as the manager for Sky is irresponsible and not in the interest of Sky owners.

Regards,

Thomas MichaelChief Executive Officer

Subject: SKY: HOA Concerns (READ ASAP)

IMPORTANT REGARDING SKY LAS VEGAS

Dear Sky Owners:

I am sending this email regarding my deep concern for the Homeowners Association and the operation of SKY Las Vegas. I would encourage you to read the following email and attached legal letter regarding issues at SKY. The legal letter was recently sent to the HOA Attorney (Michael Schulman) and the HOA Board. I personally hired an attorney to help with the situation given my level of concern and wanted to share this with you so you are informed and have the opportunity to influence the outcome.

CURRENT SITUATION

As you may know, our HOA and General Manager has resigned her position. This position is responsible for managing our entire building and oversees all operations, so its important for us to get a qualified person with experience. The HOA Board is looking to fill this vacant spot and is unfortunately considering non-qualified candidates based on information shared with me, which is the reason for my communications.

· HOA Board is considering the developer's Leasing Agent as a candidate for this position. I am told that this applicant has no experience managing hi-rise buildings or an HOA but is enrolled in classes currently. This was validated and noted in the legal letter. It seems that all of her prior experience is in sales and leasing. These qualifications do not meet minimum qualifications to manage a hi-rise building like SKY.

· A temporary HOA Community Manager has been put in place by The Prescott Companies. Her name is Susan Green and she is an experienced hi-rise manager. She will remain in place until a permanent manager is hired. This gives the HOA Board time to find a qualified candidate.

· The Prescott Companies have provided other qualified candidates to the HOA Board. While I cannot speculate as to what decision the Board will reach with regard to hiring a manager, I have heard that the Board is leaning toward hiring the developer’s Sales/Leasing agent as the manager.

CONCERNS AND IMPLICATIONS

· Breach of Fiduciary Responsibility: The HOA Board has fiduciary responsibility to make decisions that are in the best interest of the building based on all information provided. It would be a breach of fiduciary responsibility if the HOA Board hires someone who is unqualified especially if they had qualified candidates provided to them by The Prescott Companies.

· Conflict of Interest: There is a clear conflict of interest with the HOA Board looking to put the developer's Leasing Agent in this role. We all need to be very concerned if this decision is made given we already have 3 out of 5 Board members (Aaron Yashouafar, David Pourbaba, Homan Taghdiri) affiliated with the developer. If we have a community manager who is also affiliated with the developer, we run a greater risk of having building decisions made in favor of the developer versus the remaining Sky owners.

· Board members behind on SKY HOA dues: From what has been shared with me in prior Board meetings and what I located in our HOA Financials, the developer owes the HOA significant amount of dues. Its against our bylaws to have anyone on the Board who has been delinquent for 30 days or more. Therefore, we have individuals making decisions for all of us homeowners and clearly shouldn't be based on the bylaws. The bylaws indicate that these individuals should resign immediately. This is even a greater concern given they are wanting to hire their own leasing agent as our next community manager and this is clearly a conflict of interest.

Needless to say, if the HOA Board decides to hire an unqualified candidate, they have breached their fiduciary duty and acted negligently. I find it unconscionable that our elected Board members would vote in favor of hiring someone without qualifications to assume the monumental responsibility which is the management of our building. They cannot actually think that doing so is in the best interest of the owners, association or residents. I also have requested that all delinquent Board members resign immediately to uphold the bylaws that we have in place.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

1. Respond to the HOA Board via email ASAP: Send email tobod@skylasvegashoa.com and let the Board know you share these concerns. They are likely to make a decision any day so time is of the essence. If you cc: me on your communications, I will also make sure the Board receives copies of your responses at the upcoming Board meeting. Its imperative that you reach out to the HOA Board with these concerns ASAP. I think once you read the letter from the attorney you will have a better understanding of the legal implications and reason for my concerns.

2. Rally fellow residents: Talk to your fellow homeowners as its going to take all of us to make change. We cannot afford to take a back-seat when our property investment is at risk.

3. Attend the next Board Meeting: The next Board Meeting is scheduled for this upcoming Tuesday, 3/29 at 5pm and would strongly encourage you to attend. I don't live full-time at SKY, but planning to make it a priority to attend given what is at stake. I look for the HOA Board to push for a decision in this meeting.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

David Williams, Sky Owner

THE INVISIBLE FINANCIAL CRASH? ROBERT PAISOLA REPORTS

noreply@blogger.com (RobertPaisola.com) — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 10:38:00 +0000

Full Download for Distribution At End of Page:

A Strange New Crisis That Explains
Everything Going Wrong in America…

“Americans should brace themselves for
an Economic 9/11.” – Trends Research Institute
To Our Friends Around the World,

My name is Robert Paisola.

I’m an Economist and The Chief Executive Officer of Western Capital International Since our founding in 1987, our research has helped clients make more money – through all markets – by knowing exactly what to do, and when.

For example, back in 2000, we warned our clients about the coming dot-com collapse. We said that, “We are at the peak of most likely the greatest financial mania that has been seen in our lifetimes and, quite possibly, the greatest ever witnessed.”

Shortly thereafter, the dot-com bubble burst. The Nasdaq 100 lost three-quarters of its value and the leading index of internet stocks was down 90%!

But our Western Capital VIP Members were safe.

Likewise in 2008, we told our members to sell everything before the financial crisis struck full force. We got out in time and actually averaged a positive gain of 28% on each sale even as the market dropped 37%.

Once again our members missed the worst of it.

Today, I write to warn our readers once again.

The last 40 years of American history were filled with crises. We've seen the Energy Crisis of the 1970s… The Savings and Loan scandals of the 1980s… The Dot-Com Bubble of the late 1990s… and the Housing Crisis of 2008…

But little could we know that all of it was leading to one singular event.

After years of unchecked deficit spending… Trillions spent on failed wars and policing the globe… Untold numbers of bailouts and giveaways… An avalanche of money printing… And unprecedented money manipulation by the Fed… We now are at a “tipping point” in American history.

Once we go over the edge, there will be no turning back. And if I’m correct, that moment has just passed.

What comes next will be a kind of sudden, shocking financial event the likes of which we've never seen in America.

It’s a market phenomenon that is very unique in two ultra-specific ways.

First, nobody will see it coming.

There will be no news stories. No warnings from the government or Wall Street. No chance to protect yourself until after the damage is already done.

But second, and even worse, there will be no place to hide during this event. Unlike past market disruptions in American history, you won’t be able to “cash out” and sit on the sidelines.

Bonds… Treasuries… Mutual Funds… Pensions… Cash… Real Estate… Savings Accounts… Virtually everything Americans use to maintain wealth will be affected.

If the evidence We have uncovered is correct (which I’ll show you here point-by-point), we could end up in a situation where you need $10 million or more to survive in retirement… Where millionaires require food stamps just to get by… Where 80 year olds flood the job market looking for work…

It’s going to be an extremely difficult time for those who are unprepared.

And that’s why I decided to “go public” and put together this presentation for you today.

In it, I’ll show you exactly what could happen during what I call an “Invisible Crash.” I’ll show you how it might already be affecting your retirement… I’ll give you a blow-by-blow account of why it will ramp up very quickly in the days ahead… I’ll dig deep into the debt and economic crises that caused it…

But most importantly, I’ll show you the three simple steps I believe you MUST take if you want to protect and grow your wealth in the coming years.

For example, one step we’re advocating involves a vastly overlooked safe haven. It’s an unusual AAA-rated investment opportunity that actually increases your payouts year after year. And the payouts are so high that it could double your money every five years.

Another step involves a way you could potentially build a $10-million retirement portfolio starting with just $100,000. (Full details in a moment.)

I’ll show you how to implement these plans so your retirement is not only 100% safe during this strange market scenario – but so you also have a real opportunity to lead the financially independent lifestyle you should.

But I will warn you. What I’m about to reveal could be quite disturbing. I will not sugarcoat the truth.

I simply ask that you weigh the facts as I present them. And then decide for yourself if my conclusions are correct.

Here’s everything from the beginning…

How did we Discover This
Strange Market Phenomenon…
I’ve told you about a few of the predictions we’ve made over the years to protect our members. We were spot-on in our warnings about both of the last two major market crashes.

But at Western Capital, we are far from doomsdayers.

In fact, most of the time we consider ourselves to be bull market optimists.

That’s why, in February 2009, we sent out a letter to members telling them that the market had bottomed out and that they should expect a sudden rally in stocks.

In it, we predicted the beginning of a 3,000+ point rally. And on the surface, we were right.

As you can see in the chart below, stocks rose by 4,436 points or 54% in the following three years.

Our prediction proved to be accurate.

But something didn’t sit quite right. The economy was still in shambles. Unemployment was sky high. Our national debt was climbing at a rate of more than $1 trillion per year.

Obviously, the success in the stock market was completely out of balance with what was going on in our economy.

We needed a new approach to measure success in the stock market. So, I decided to start tracking stock market performance not in dollars, but rather in hard assets.

And what I found was shocking…

While stocks were soaring in terms of dollar value, they were actually crumbling in terms of real value.

Here is a chart of those exact same stocks… Over the very same period… But priced in gold ounces rather than dollars:

Down 16%.

That’s quite a difference. Up 54% in dollars. Down 16% in gold.

Using other hard assets gave me equally disturbing results.

Here are those same stocks again, but priced in industrial metals like copper, aluminum, tin, nickel, and iron ore:

Down 21%.

Here they are priced in cotton:

Down 16%. Just like gold.

In dairy products:

Down 14%.

And worst of all, here are those same stocks priced in oil:

Down a whopping 43%.

In other words, while stocks had risen in dollar value, they were vastly down by almost every measure of real value.

The truth of the matter is…

Even if you had the incredible foresight to invest in the Dow at the bottom of the market in 2009, you were still actually worse off by 2012 than you were back then.

I know that may sound strange. You probably don’t feel worse off. But if you let me explain further, I think you’ll see what I’m getting at.

Take a look at this table for reference.

What a Share of the Dow is Worth
2009 Vs. 2012

2009 2012

8.72 Ounces of Gold 7.3 Ounces of Gold

198 Barrels of Oil 113 Barrels of Oil

15,000 lbs Cotton 12,600 lbs Cotton

4,000 Gallons of Milk 3,440 Gallons of Milk

2.6 Tons Copper 1.5 Tons Copper

In 2009, a share of the Dow bought you 8.7 ounces of gold. By 2012, just 7.3 ounces.

In 2009, the Dow traded for about 198 barrels of oil. In 2012, just 113 barrels.

In 2009, the Dow was worth 15,000 pounds of cotton. By 2012, just 12,500 pounds.

Bottom line: Whether it’s gold, oil, cotton, milk, or nearly any other tangible good, by 2012 a share of the Dow bought you far less than in 2009.

Of course, you probably don’t buy these types of hard assets on a regular basis. However, this situation is a troubling indicator of what’s to come. And here’s why…

It’s called the time-lag effect of price inflation. When the cost of raw essentials goes up, businesses are reluctant to raise the prices on consumers. But over time, once they realize that their new cost levels are permanent, prices will have to rise across the board.

It’s this fact that’s allowing the government to claim that inflation isn’t a worry right now. They’re looking only at consumer prices and not at the huge increases in prices of resources and hard assets.

However, that’s starting to change very quickly.

I’m sure you’re starting to see the increase in cost of living almost everywhere you turn.

From gasoline and milk… To automobiles and airline tickets… Tuition and healthcare costs. Chances are you’re starting to pay a whole lot more for the basic necessities.

So why has this happened? Why have stocks jumped in dollar terms while they’ve collapsed when priced in real assets?

A Phantom Recovery
The reality is that this phenomenon is not hard to understand if you know what’s going on in America right now. In fact, it actually explains everything.

Ever since the start of the financial crisis, instead of actually fixing any of our problems, we decided we’d simply let Ben Bernanke and the Fed solve everything.

We didn’t try to work out our uncontrollable debt problem… Our runaway healthcare and college tuition costs… Our long-term unemployment disaster… Our non-existent GDP growth… And certainly not our insolvent entitlement programs.

All we really did to fix the economy was pump money in and hope for the best.

It started with the Fed bringing interest rates down to 0%.

People forget that this was unprecedented.

Never in the history of our country had we offered to lend out money without receiving any interest in return.

In the last 50 years, we’ve hardly even dropped below the 4% mark. You would think dropping rates to 0% would have required a big debate, but shockingly it happened without anyone questioning whether this was a good idea.

Everyone just went along with it, even as the Fed tried something that had never been attempted in over 56 years. Take a look at this chart to see what I’m talking about:

See that tiny little line at the bottom right corner? That’s our 0% interest rates for now four years running.

And when low interest rates didn’t work, they tried the more direct approach of having the Fed pump physical dollars directly into the system.

Did you know that we’ve had over 39 consecutive months of double-digit monetary inflation in this country?

It’s true.

The Fed has tried all kinds of tricks to juice the economy.

They’ve tried QE1 and QE2… Operation Twist… Mortgage-backed security purchases… Promises to extend 0% interest rates far into the future…

To me, this is one of the most telling charts about what is going on right now. It’s the adjusted bank reserves of the United States.

As you can see, in late 2008, you get a massive 10-fold spike in the amount of money in the system.

It’s only continued climbing from there.

And yet, none of this monetary stimulus by the Fed has done anything to solve our real economic problems.

For one thing, the unemployment picture is still awful. As of mid-2012, there were about 5 million more unemployed Americans than at the start of 2008.

Income and wages haven’t increased at all, either.

A recent IMF report indicates that since 2009 labor compensation has increased in every leading economy except four: Spain, Greece, Ireland… And the United States.

And The Wall Street Journal confirms that “the income of the typical U.S. family has fallen to levels last seen in 1995.”

But the Fed’s money-pumping has created one very real and tangible result.

Prices have skyrocketed across the country.

Just in the last four years since the “recovery” began, we’ve seen record prices in corn… milk… gold… cotton… gasoline… copper… orange juice… beef… grain… Virtually everything.

You name it and the price has soared.

And yet, we’re still in the very early stages of this phenomenon right now.

As all the money pumped in by the Fed finally makes its way into consumer prices, I think Americans are going to be shocked by the sudden and dramatic rise in the cost of living.

In fact, prices are already rising so fast, that stocks can’t keep up. Priced in virtually every asset other than dollars, stocks were sharply down between 2009 and 2012.

This is what I call an “Invisible Crash.”

It’s a situation where so much money is pumped into the system that stocks do in fact rise, but the cost of living goes up even faster.

Think of it this way. If your stocks are up 30% for the year, but your cost of living is up 50%, you’ve actually lost 20% of your wealth.

That’s basically what our country is going through right now.

For example, over the 3-year period from 2009 to 2012, you would have needed returns of 28% per year just to break even. That’s tough for most regular people to do.

And for reasons I’m about to get into, I believe that it’s not just likely, but inevitable that it will get much, much worse.

In fact, I think the Fed’s latest announcement is the final straw that begins the first ever major Invisible Crash in this country.

Consider, the Fed’s latest move consists of pumping $40 billion per month into the economy indefinitely… Extending 0% interest rates years into the future with no end in sight… And all with the promise to “do more” if it doesn’t work.

In other words, they’re putting all their chips on the table.

They’ve openly declared that they will do anything to get our economy moving again.

But what are they going to do if these policies don’t work?

What if all they get from this is higher prices, more debt, and a weaker economy?

What will they do then?

The Fed's Next Move...
I’d suggest that the end conclusion is already written.

You see… Our problems run so deep that they cannot be solved with just a bit of Fed money. They’ll need to pump more and more as their policies continue to fail.

And the reality is, the more they do this, the more the cost of living and price inflation is going to wipe out the savings that everyday Americans are barely holding on to.

The result could be a very fast and sudden expansion of The Invisible Crash. Americans will be left losing money every day automatically through no fault of their own.

There will be no place to hide… At least certainly not in Bonds… Treasuries… Money market accounts… Or any other traditional safe havens.

The fact of the matter is… If you do nothing now, it’s likely that huge amounts of your wealth will be wiped out.

However, there are several steps you can take to potentially create supercharged growth in your retirement account over a very short period.

For example, you’ve probably never heard of what we call the “True Safe Haven.” It’s an AAA-rated opportunity that could double your money every five years.

Then there’s a way I can tell you how to potentially build a $10-million retirement portfolio, starting with just $100,000.

Plus I’ve uncovered one particular hard-asset play that, if historical standards hold true, could be close to beginning a 453% jump in value.

But before I get into all that, let me give you an idea how the founding of our national bank completely changed the path of our nation… And why everything that’s happened since then has been a process inevitably leading us to The Invisible Crash…

How it All Got Started…
To truly understand what’s going on with the Fed, you have to know a little bit about the founding of our national bank.

The history of the Fed actually begins hundreds of years ago, before America was even a country. It starts with the creation of The Bank of England in 1694.

At the time, England was busily expanding to all corners of the globe. They had the world’s richest people… The largest navy… The wealthiest merchants.

But as they fought wars with France and increased their Empire, England came upon a problem.

They didn’t have enough gold to finance all these expensive ventures.

So King William III came up with a radical idea. He created The Bank of England with a royal charter to become a “fund for perpetual interest.”

Essentially, it created a radical new “monopoly” bank that could create money for loans that the monarchy otherwise could not pay. Even though the money was supposed to be backed by gold, the bank could just create as many paper notes as they needed, even if there wasn’t enough gold in the vaults.

In other words, it was an unlimited cash machine. The British Empire could use it to fund wars, commerce, exploration, building projects... Whatever they wanted, really.

And that’s what they did.

For a time, this new bank was able to supercharge the British Empire to unbelievable heights.

But then something went wrong…

People lost faith in their money.

The colonists in America, for example, started to resent the fact that they had no control over the British pounds they were forced to use in trade.

So the colonists created their own currency and fought the American Revolution to free themselves from the British banking system. (Among other things, obviously.)

And, for a time, it worked great…

America Repeats England’s Mistake
Once America broke from British rule, they were free to control their own money.

They set up a gold-backed dollar and for the first 121 years ran a financially sound government. During those years, the government ran 80 surpluses and only 41 deficits – the majority of which came during times of war.

But then, in 1913, after an intense financial panic, the United States decided to repeat history and create a new national bank with monopoly power just like William III with The Bank of England.

They gave the new “independent” Federal Reserve the power to create money out of thin air.

This was the green light our political leaders were looking for. With unlimited power to create as much money as needed, they could spend whatever they wanted and never worry about having the cash.

We added department after department to the Federal government… Engaged in foreign conflicts across the globe… Promised benefits to the public that couldn’t possibly be paid for.

And sure enough, the budget exploded.

As I said, in the 121 years prior to the Fed, our government ran 80 surpluses and 41 deficits. But since 1930, we’ve run just 13 surpluses and 69 deficits.

Suddenly, we had a credit card with no limit. There was nothing to keep our leaders in check.

And America has gone crazy with spending ever since…

America Gone Wild
There’s no end to the number of things American politicians have found to spend money on.

Foreign conflicts are a popular one.

Of course, everyone knows about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg for America’s foreign involvement.

As of 2011, we had military personnel in 148 countries. (Out of a possible 196!) We have around 900 overseas bases or facilities. And we spend approximately $338 million per day on our foreign conflicts.

Our domestic spending is even worse.

Last year, House Republicans agreed to cut $35 million from the House operating budget.

John Boehner hailed these cuts as a “commitment to making the tough choices necessary to end Washington's job-killing spending binge.”

There’s only one problem…

The government spends approximately $11.6 million per minute. That means that their “tough choice” of cutting $35 million was gone in about 3 minutes!
That’s the problem when you create a bank and give the politicians free rein to use it as their own personal cash machine. And we’re seeing the effects of wild out-of-control spending all over the country…

Like in the San Jose school district, where the government spent $725,000 on an automated pizza machine. In 2 years, the machine produced a total of 2,000 pizzas for a cost of roughly $360 per pizza.

Or recently when The National Science Foundation was given $500,000 to study how stress affects shrimp. No kidding. And part of the study involved having the shrimp “run” on treadmills.

Denali National Park in Alaska spent $1.49 million to replace 36 toilets. That’s $41,000 per toilet, in case you’re scoring at home.
And spending on the Federal level is even worse…

In one six-year period, the Department of Defense spent $100 million on approximately 270,000 unused airline tickets. But it gets worse… These were fully refundable tickets. The government bureaucrats were just too lazy to get refunds.

And this one takes the cake…

In the Treasury’s 2003 Financial Report of the United States Government, the ledger marked $24.5 billion in “missing money.” The government was sure someone somewhere had spent it. But they had no idea when or by whom. (Imagine if you tried to tell the IRS that!)

That missing $24.5 billion would be enough to hand every resident in my hometown, Salt Lake City, a check for $100,742 each!

The point is… America is out of control.

We’ve gotten so used to accessing free credit that we don’t even think twice about wasting billions and billions of dollars.

It’s the reason we’ve addressed our major economic problems by taking the easy way out. We just let the Fed wave its magic wand and hoped that poof, our economy would be roaring again.

However, the real result has been a very difficult situation for those saving for retirement. All the Fed’s money-pumping has led to such a vast increase of prices in such a short time that the market can’t keep up.

And now, the debt crisis is reaching a tipping point.

Our debt has expanded so quickly and so recklessly, that foreign governments no longer will finance it. In fact, during the last fiscal year, nearly three-quarters of our deficit was financed by the Federal Reserve itself.

That’s $974 billion created out of thin air by the Fed and then used to purchase our own debt. And this situation can only get worse…

Over the next 10 years, the projected deficit of the U.S. is $13 trillion. If the Fed continues paying for 75% of all new U.S. debt, they’d have to print nearly $10 trillion over this period.

That’s enough to increase our current monetary base nearly 10-fold.

I believe it will result in an enormous Invisible Crash that will rock everything from Treasuries to savings accounts to the very cash that you hold in your wallet.

I’ll show you exactly how this could go down – including a chance to gain immensely when it does – over the next few minutes.

But first, let me lay to rest something I often hear from politicians or media pundits. Some will tell you that we can get out of this mess we’ve created. All we have to do is cut back, balance the budget, and right the ship.

I can tell you that there is absolutely NO CHANCE of that happening.

As I’ll explain, it’s gotten so bad that mere spending cuts and tax increases aren’t going to make a bit of difference…

Just How Bad is America’s Debt Crisis?
In 2011, the U.S. government hit an infamous milestone.

Debt topped 100% of GDP.

That’s right… The U.S. government now owes more money than the entire economic output of our economy.

It’s now up over $16,282,374,526,835. (And counting.) By the time you’re done with this presentation, it will have increased by approximately $232 million!

But how much debt is that really?

Well, consider this…

If every small business in America sold off every asset it had and handed it over to the Federal government, it would still only pay off one-third of the debt.

If each family in America handed over all their savings to the government (the average is just $4,721per family), it would only pay down $391 billion – not even enough to cover half of one year’s deficit!

If every one of the 83 million families in America sold their houses for an average price of $125,000 and handed the proceeds over to the government, it still wouldn’t pay off the debt.

It’s an impossible situation.

I think you can agree, we can’t solve that kind of debt problem with a few cuts in discretionary or defense spending, as the current politicians like to suggest.

And raising taxes won’t do it, either.

The fact is, even if the IRS taxed millionaires at 100%, (assuming they would work for free) the take would be just $616 billion. That’s only a third of 1 year’s deficit.

Even Bill Clinton agrees, saying “you could tax me at a 100% and you wouldn’t balance the budget.”

And President Obama’s so-called “Buffet Rule” – the one that Obama says will “stabilize our debt and deficits for the next decade” – only brings in an extra $5 billion in revenue according to Obama’s own Treasury numbers.

That’s about how much the U.S. pays in interest on the debt per week.

Even the Paul Ryan budget, which has been declared “radical” and “extreme,” actually raisesgovernment spending by 36% over the next 10 years according to FoxNews. It jumps from $3.6 trillion to $4.9 trillion.

The only reason it’s controversial is because it raises government spending so much slower than opposing plans.

But if raising government spending by 36% is radical, imagine what a “business as usual” approach is going to look like.

The fact of the matter is, even if we got serious about the budget, cut spending to the bone, and somehow managed to produce a surplus of $100 million per day… It would take until the year 2461 before it was paid off!

Obviously, this is a systemic crisis of epic proportions.

And the worst part is… I haven’t even touched on the most toxic part of the budget yet…

The Entitlement Nightmare
Let me start off by saying that I think Medicare and Social Security are good programs. There’s nothing wrong with taking care of the elderly or the sick – especially when they’ve paid into the system. It’s simply the right thing for a civilized society to do.

However, there is something wrong with a system that takes care of everyone, regardless of whether they need help.

Do millionaires and billionaires really need Social Security and Medicare? Absolutely not!

And yet, just like everyone else, they’ll collect Social Security and Medicare benefits every month.

This is the problem with top-down Federal programs. They don’t have a clue what’s happening at the individual level – or who really needs the help.

It’s the reason these systems are full of fraud and waste.

For example, in South Florida, a couple of psychiatrists were recently convicted of a massive mental healthcare racket. Just the two of them were able to bilk $205 million out of the taxpayer-funded Medicare system.

The problem is that Medicare has almost no accountability. You can submit almost anything and it will get paid.

In fact, an MSNBC report on Medicare fraud found “billions in questionable claims.” Claims that were paid out included diagnoses listed as “?” “zzzzz” and “☺.”

Obviously, there are major problems with our entitlement systems. And they are by far the biggest drivers of spending in Washington.

According to Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Social Security and Medicare “account for nearly half of all Federal spending.” Adding that they are “speeding toward a financial collapse.”

I should say so…

Usdebtclock.org, an organization dedicated to providing true statistics on the government debt problem, gives us the shocking truth.

According to their calculations, total unfunded liabilities in the U.S. – including Social Security, Medicare, and prescription drugs – actually come out to $115 trillion!

That’s $1,028,397 dollars per citizen!

Considering the average citizen has less than $5,000 in savings, I’d venture to say that getting each citizen to pony up over $1 million is not likely to happen.

So how are we planning to cover all these expenses and keep the music playing?

Foreign Governments Don’t
Want Any More U.S. Debt!
In the past, we financed all our reckless spending with foreign money. As the world’s reserve currency, the dollar was hoarded by nations all over the globe.

And they were more than willing to loan us those dollars back.

We think the world won’t ever quit buying our debt. But unfortunately, that gamble is already starting to lose…

Since 2009, the amount of U.S. treasuries purchased by foreign governments has dropped a stunning 68%.

It’s the reason the Fed had to buy nearly three-quarters of all new U.S. debt last year.

Foreign governments have basically decided that this relationship isn’t working.

They see how much debt we’re piling up… They see the Fed’s crazy policies… And they know that the dollar’s time on top can only last so long.

Which is why they’re desperately trying to break free from the dollar.

China and Japan, for instance, in early 2012, agreed to start trading directly in their own currencies for the first time.

By getting the U.S. middle man out of the picture, both countries can “move away from using dollars,” according to a New York Times report.

“Chinese officials have made it clear that they believe the international economy is too heavily dominated by the dollar,” says Charles A. Kupchan, a professor of international affairs at Georgetown University.

And this is just one of the many moves China is making to rid themselves of the U.S. dollar.

In a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in St. Petersburg, both parties agreed to renounce the dollar.

“We have decided to use our own currencies,” said Putin.

In March 2012, Iran declared that it would no longer trade oil in dollars.

In June, China inked a deal with Brazil that allows their central banks to trade outside the U.S. dollar. They recently made others with Turkey and United Arab Emirates.

Even Australia, a close U.S. ally, agreed to trade with them without using dollars.

This is a very scary development for the U.S. for a couple reasons…

First, if all these governments don’t trade dollars, then they have no reason to hold massive reserves. That means literally trillions of dollars could come pouring right back into the U.S., sending prices soaring all across the country.

But secondly, these countries now will have far fewer dollars to lend back to us. We won’t be able to get trillions of dollars to cover our deficits – at least not at the 1% rates we’re currently willing to pay out.

Instead, lenders will demand a much higher rate of interest. And that could doom our economy.

Right now, we pay about $450 billion per year in interest on the debt – that’s more than we spend on The Departments of Commerce, Education, Energy, HUD, Interior, Labor, and Transportation... Combined.

But if interest rates were to go up to, say, just 10%… (we won’t even discuss what would happen if they went to 20% like they did in the 80s), we’d be looking at yearly debt payments of $2.1 trillion and climbing by 2014 – enough to double our entire debt to $32 trillion in just five years.

Obviously, that’s the big gamble that we’re taking as a country right now.

So how do we continue running up trillion-dollar deficits year after year without anyone lending us new money?

By printing fresh dollars, of course.

And as this process speeds up, there is only one logical outcome.

Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan sums it up best…

“We Cannot Default, We Can Just
Keep Printing Money.” – Alan Greenspan
After the S&P downgrade last year, Alan Greenspan went on NBC’s Meet the Press and gave us a very candid statement about the possibility of a default on the U.S. debt.

“The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default,” he said.

And that’s exactly what’s happening.

According to an article in Forbes, after the financial crisis we saw 39 consecutive months of “double-digit year-over-year rates of monetary inflation.”

With the world less and less likely to continue funding our wild spending, the U.S. has essentially decided to simply print our way out of the problem.

We’ve already discussed all the attempts the Fed has made at jumpstarting the economy with QE1 through QE3.

Only the latest round is much worse than the first few. In their announcement, the Fed said they will keep interest rates near zero “through at least mid-2015.”

In addition, the Fed will begin pumping $40 billion into the economy each month with no end in sight. Worse yet, if “the labor market doesn’t improve substantially,” they’ve agreed to ramp it up even more.

Basically, they’ve approved doing QE to infinity… An endless amount of money printing to prop up the economy.

Of course, the markets cheered the news. They love it when the Fed pumps money into the economy because so much of it goes right into the stock market.

But the average guy off the street isn’t so happy. Because he knows this is an unending assault on his wealth.

Meanwhile, the Fed claims that prices aren’t rising because “core inflation” isn’t going up that fast. But core inflation doesn’t include food or energy, the bulk of what Americans need every day to live.

And if prices weren’t rising, we wouldn’t have seen records set in everything from gold to corn to cotton or even orange juice.

That’s the nature of The Invisible Crash. The more the Fed pumps money into the economy, the more we’ll likely see prices of food, clothing, gas, electric bills, etc. rise to never-before-seen levels in this country.

And it’s not likely to slow down. In fact, as I’ve pointed out, it’s already happening and likely to speed up.

Economist Nouriel Roubini, a senior advisor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, admitted that this was a strong possibility in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Roubini predicted that there will be an announcement of more quantitative easing.

And he says the Fed won’t stop there…

“We’ll have QE3… Maybe QE4… Maybe QE5.”

Just imagine what we’re looking at right now…

Seven or More Straight Years of 0% Interest Rates…
An Indefinite Money-Printing Program Every Month…
Foreign Governments Turning Their Backs on Buying U.S. Debt…
Trillions of Dollars Flowing Back in to the Country as Trade Turns

Away From the U.S. Dollar…

All of this will be severely damaging to the average American. The value of your checking and savings accounts… Treasuries… bonds… stocks… paychecks… money market accounts… virtually everything denominated in dollars will lose significant value.

Of course, you and I know how crazy all this is. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. And you can’t make your country rich by simply putting enough zeros on the back of the currency.

But no matter how obvious these facts are to the rest of us, somehow our political leaders can’t and won’t ever get it.

To be quite frank, it’s just too easy for them to go this route. Fixing real problems is hard. But printing money is easy, especially in the modern world.

As CNN reports, when inflating their way out of debt, “modern central banks don't have to print bills or float debt to create new money; they just add money to their customers' checking accounts.”

And our so-called “intellectual elites” are happy to go right along with them.

Here’s what Nobel prize-winning Keynesian economist Paul Krugman says we should do to solve our economic problems:

“First of all, it would involve more, not less, government spending for the time being… And it would involve an all-out effort by the Federal Reserve to get the economy moving, with the deliberate goal of generating higher inflation to help alleviate debt problems.”

The worst part of all of this is our political leaders are actually listening to people like Krugman. No one wants to take the hard road. Everyone wants to solve our problems with the snap of a finger.

And because our debt situation is so dire and unmanageable, the only way to keep everything normal is to print money and finance our own debt.

The result will be a great increase in the cost of living. Which is what we’ve seen in record prices in gold… corn… grain… milk… gasoline… orange juice… cotton… etc.

That’s what will make this situation so hard for a lot of Americans.

With prices rising at these rates, it won’t be enough to simply save your money because that money will constantly be losing value. Anyone who wants a decent retirement will have to actively increase their wealth at many times current rates to keep up.

That’s just the nature of The Invisible Crash.

However, if you prepare for this situation early, you could actually do extremely well for yourself.

Here’s how…

How You Could Double Your Money
Every 2.5 Years Thanks to The Invisible Crash
First some good news…

This process is not going to happen overnight.

Most doomsdayers will tell you the whole system is going to collapse tomorrow.

But if that were the case, you shouldn’t be investing at all. You ought to be buying food and water, learning how to hunt, building a shelter, and hunkering down for the coming catastrophe.

That’s not what our evidence suggests.

Rather, this Invisible Crash will be a long-term event that will erode your money at a quickening pace year after year.

Essentially, it will just be a much faster version of what’s been quietly going on for the past 100 years.

This chart of decline of the value of the dollar during the 20th century really says it all:

The Invisible Crash is a turbo-charged version of the massive dollar decline we’ve seen since the Federal Reserve was established back in 1913.

So what can you do to take advantage of this situation when The Invisible Crash hits full speed ahead?

Well, there’s a series of very simple financial moves some very smart people I know are taking.

I believe that if you follow these three steps, you could easily double your money every 2.5 years going forward… And you’ll soon be on the path to lasting, real wealth.

It’s going to be extremely important that your investments perform this well in the future. Right now, most financial planners would have you believe that $1 or $2 million is going to be enough for your retirement, but with rapidly rising prices you may find those amounts to be woefully inadequate by the time you get there.

It’s likely that very soon most of us used to a middle class or better lifestyle will need $10 million or more just to get by in retirement. This is no exaggeration, when you consider how much I’ve showed you our purchasing power has lost already, and is declining even faster.

So here are the specific steps I believe you should take...

STEP #1: MOVE MONEY OUT OF TREASURIES, MONEY MARKET ACCOUNTS, CASH, OR ANY OTHER LOW RETURN “SAFE” INVESTMENT… AND GET INTO THIS INSTEAD.

Most people consider Treasuries, money market accounts, cash, etc. to be very safe investments.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

If The Invisible Crash hits with full force, and foreign governments start refusing to buy U.S. debt, logically, interest rates would have to rise to attract new lenders.

The result could easily be a massive collapse in the value of these low-yield investments.

As Warren Buffett wrote in his annual letter to shareholders, "Right now bonds should come with a warning label."

And Alexander Green, probably the investment guru I trust most, recently told me “it’s not just unlikely that investment-grade bonds will generate high returns over the next few years. It’s mathematically impossible.”

Consider… bonds go up in value when interest rates drop. And they collapse in value when interest rates rise.

And at the moment, it is basically impossible for interest rates to go anywhere but up.

For example, 30-year bonds right now yield just 2.5%.

So, if you lock yourself in at that rate, your best-case scenario is getting 2.5% for the next 30 years.

If interest rates grew to just 7% or 8%, or even 20% as it did in the 1980s, these bonds willcompletely collapse in value.

If you’re investing in these or other low-return “safe” plays, I’ve got news for you… You will absolutely run out of money early on in your retirement.

However, if you’re looking for pure safety, there is an alternative…

For starters, these are extremely safe investment opportunities, with many holding the same AAA-rating as U.S. treasuries. They have a historical win rate of over 91%. And they can build wealth faster than traditional stocks, bonds, Treasuries, mutual funds, or anything else, really.

The great thing about what I call the “real safe haven” is not just that they offer many times what a savings account or 2-year CD offers, but that they actually increase their payouts every single year.

For example, one of these we just recommended already yields 7.3%. In 1 year, it's expected to yield 8.3%. After 3 years, 11.2%. And 5 years from now, it's likely to pay at least 15.8%.

Imagine if you could buy a regular Treasury right now that did that.

Why get locked in to a 2% rate for 10 years when you could be getting 16%?

At 2%, you double your money every 35 years. At 16%, it takes you less than 5.

If you could double your retirement account every 5 years in an AAA-rated investment opportunity, wouldn’t you do it?

The other great thing about this safe haven is that you can continue receiving these double-digit yields for as long as you like. There is no maturity date. And they’re likely to continue increasing the payouts for many years to come.

Also, because their payouts increase year after year, they won’t collapse in value when interest rates rise. In fact, the payouts could increase even more.

And most of these increase the size of their payouts for 25 straight years or more.

If you’re looking for a safe haven… A set of AAA investments that pay big… And a way to fund your retirement and double your money every few years (which you’re going to need to do during The Invisible Crash), this is it.

I’d like to send you all the details in The Oxford Club’s special report: How to Double Your Money Every Five Years in a True AAA-Rated Safe Haven.

Ok, that’s step one. That’s your safety net.

Now for step two.

STEP #2: AN OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT UP TO 453% ON MODERN SOCIETY’S MOST ESSENTIAL ASSET

Look, we know that prices are going to continue to rise across the country going forward.

Just in the last 3 years, we’ve seen record prices in just about everything from corn… to cotton… to copper and uranium.

And that continuous march forward for commodity prices isn’t going to stop any time soon. After all, it’s been going on for more than a decade.

Consider… Since January of 2000, the S&P 500 decreased by nearly 6%. So over 13 years, stocks actually lost you money. (And that’s in dollar value. In terms of gold, stocks have lost a whopping 84%!)

But over those same 13 years, real hard assets have gone on an enormous run. Uranium for example has been up as much as 1,829%.

Oil… Up 1,400%.

Gasoline… 1,000%.

Nickel and Silver… 960% and 900%.

Cotton… 557%.

Rice… 545%.

Out of the 32 top highs for commodities over the past 13 years, only two failed to double in value. The average high was a gain of 629%. And none performed worse than the S&P 500.

Why have commodities gone on such an incredible run?

The world’s most famous billionaire commodity investor sums it up best:

“It depends on the supply and demand. And we have had a dearth of supply. Nobody has invested in productive capacity for 25 or 30 years now. The inventories of food are the lowest they have been in 50 years and you have a shortage of farmers…

“As for metals, nobody can get a loan to open a mine... Who is going to give you money to open a zinc mine? It takes at least 10 years to open a mine so it's going to be 15 or 20 years before we see new mines come on…

“As for oil, the International Energy Agency came out recently with a study showing that oil reserves worldwide were declining at the rate of 6% or 7% a year…

“I would rather be in commodities because it's the only thing I know where the fundamentals are improving. Commodities are going to be the best place to be in my view.”

If you’re going to have enough in retirement to survive The Invisible Crash, you will need to own a good portion of real, hard assets.

Of course that means some gold, silver, oil, etc. You should have those in your portfolio.

But there is one resource that I believe is an absolute MUST BUY right now.

First of all, this commodity is far more useful than gold or silver. It’s estimated that one-fifth of everything we use includes this material or requires it to be manufactured.

For instance, without this substance, oil refineries couldn’t make gasoline.

Without it, computer hard drives could not store hundreds of gigabytes of data.

Without it, combustion engines in automobiles would not run.

Without it, we would not have fuel cells for electric cars.

This substance’s importance cannot be overstated.

And on top of that, it’s far more rare than gold. The total world supply of this commodity would fit in the average American living room!

But despite its incredible uses and extreme scarcity, right now is easily the best buying opportunity of the past two decades.

The last time it was this cheap relative to gold, it promptly went on a 453% run.

Already, a few analysts are starting to pick up on this. “This [resource] hasn’t been so cheap in 20 years” says one. Another called it “a rare opportunity cheaper than gold.”

Obviously, this is a time-sensitive situation that could really increase your wealth quickly over the next few years.

And I’ve written up a special report that gives you all the details, called: “How to Collect 453% on Modern Society’s Essential Asset.”

On top of that, I’ve also put together a special report on all of commodities: “Triple Your Money in Commodities Thanks to The Invisible Crash.”

I’ll send you these reports as well as the one on the true safe haven that I mentioned earlier.

But it’s the third and final step that stands to be the big moneymaker for you.

This is what you’re going to absolutely need if you expect to live off of your investments during your retirement.

STEP #3: HOW YOU COULD DOUBLE YOUR MONEY EVERY 2.5 YEARS USING THE $10-MILLION RETIREMENT PLAN

Now, I know this sounds crazy, but if you’re going to truly make it during The Invisible Crash, in my opinion you’re going to need stocks to get there.

People forget that when the Fed pumps billions of dollars into the economy, a ton of it goes right into the stock market. That’s why stocks are up so much since the financial crisis.

But as I showed you earlier, it’s not going to cut it to simply keep up with the market.

If prices continue rising at the rates of the last decade or so, you will need to bring in double-digit returns at the very least just to keep up.

Fortunately, there are many individual stocks that are actually increasing in real value.

The obvious example is one like Apple.

Since its bottom in November 2008, Apple has risen 258% even when priced in gold. In 2008, 10 shares of Apple were worth 1.12 ounces of gold. Today, they would be worth 4.01 ounces.

In other words, the increase in Apple’s stock was real. It wasn’t created by the Fed printing money, but rather by a good company producing a valuable product.

And there are a select number of companies just like Apple that are truly creating value.

That’s what you have to look for in a situation like this. When the government is screwing with the economy… Creating onerous regulations on businesses… Creating uncertainty on taxes… Trying stimulus and money-pumping to jumpstart the economy…

When the government is doing that stuff, you can’t sit back and wait for them to fix things… Because frankly, they won’t.

What you have to do is look for those companies that are so successful, the government just can’t stop them from making money. I’m talking about companies that increase revenues year after year… develop breakthrough products… Pick up new market share… Increase their dividend payouts… And on and on.

It’s this approach that has handed Oxford Club members such unprecedented returns.

Since 1991, we’ve averaged a 16% return per year on our members’ portfolio. If you had been a Member back then, and invested $100,000 in our recommendations, you could be sitting on$2.26 million today.

Compare that with the returns of the traditional market. At 7% a year, you’d have just $414,000. If you locked yourself into 3% Treasuries, you’d be looking at $186,000.

And lately, with the Fed’s money pouring money into certain sectors of the stock market, we’ve been doing even better.

Consider the open positions in our Oxford Trading Portfolio, our research portfolio that gives our members each of our current recommendations. In dollar terms, every single one is up significantly, most in double or triple digits.

Here’s a screenshot of all our current recommendations and their performance. (Of course, I’ve blacked out the ticker symbols. It would be unfair to our paying members if I simply gave them away.)

As you can see, our current recommendations are up a total average of 50.9%, with an average holding time of 605 days. Annually, that’s an approximate return of 30.8% per year. In other words, so far this year we’ve outperformed the return of the Dow (12% annual returns) and we’ve also done so over the last three years.

At that pace, you’d stand to double your portfolio every 2.5 years.

Our gains for 2010 and 2011 have an average of 22%, outperforming the Dow by 10 whopping percentage points, at that rate you could double your portfolio every 3.5 years.

If we kept producing these kinds of gains, $100,000 could grow into as much as $1.47 million in 10 years. And in 17 years, you could have over $10 million.

Of course, I know that might not be as fast as you’d hoped to get to $10 million, but I’m not going to promise you what we historically can’t deliver. We can’t promise future gains, but as I’ve shown you, our track record speaks for itself.

I believe our system allows the safest and fastest real way to turn a small retirement fund into a truly wealthy retirement nest egg.

I’ll send you everything you need to know to get started with this $10-million retirement plan we call our “Pillars of Wealth System,” along with all the special reports I mentioned above.

In it, you’ll learn all about our asset allocation model… how to minimize risk and maximize returns… How to reduce your tax payments… what kind of stocks to buy and when…

I think you’ll be extremely pleased because our track record shows our success through just about every market imaginable.

We’ve done this well in comparison to the broad markets by recommending stocks that increase in real value, not just because of Fed-induced stock price inflation.

And our performance really stands out when you look at how our stocks have done when priced in gold. Our model portfolio is loaded with stocks that have increased in real value. Like…

BBT… Up 75% in gold ounces in 416 days
COV… Up 22% in gold ounces in 354 days
PAA… Up 37% in gold ounces in 353 days
TDC… Up 35% in gold ounces in 325 days
CERN… Up 25% in gold ounces in 293 days
TM… Up 10% in gold ounces in 263 days

Remember, these gains are priced in gold ounces. In dollars terms, these stocks are up even higher. But it’s important to see which stocks can actually buy you more physical goods once you sell them.

That’s how you know that you’ve chosen good opportunities, and that your standard of living is increasing.

And I have to say, I’m very proud to be part of an organization that has performed so well.

And yet it surprises me that sometimes people are reluctant to give us a try.

They think, “I’ve seen these types of letters before. How do I know that we at Western Capital are better than any other?”

Personally, I hope you are thinking that right now… Because it means you are a smart wealth-seeker. And you don’t believe everything you hear.

However, there are two actual ways to tell which investment research letters really are as good as they say they are.

First, there’s the independent Hulbert Financial Digest. Gary Hulbert created this service for the exact purpose of ranking the various newsletters across the country.

And The Robert Paisola Western Capital Communiqué just made Hulbert’s Honor Roll for being top 5 in performance not over 1 year… not 2 years… not 5 years… But over a full decade.

According to his own analysis, we’ve beaten the Wilshire 5000 Index by a 30-to-1 margin over that period.

As I said before, we’ve averaged a yearly return of 16% since 1991, and even better in recent years, so it’s not hard to see why we’re ranked so highly.

The second way to know if an organization really has the “right stuff” is to see what actual members have to say.

Since the 2008 financial crash, we’ve helped thousands of our members make far more money than the cost of living has risen...

Joseph Marigold from Ohio wrote recently to say: “I am up Hundreds of Thousands of dollars since the market crashed.”
Mary Pinter, from San Francisco, also contacted us regarding a recent recommendation. She says she’s “made 50% so far this year. I have tripled in the last 2 years.”

And we got this amusing note from Member Martin Bailey, who’s been with us since 1997, after he accidentally cancelled his Membership, “I was a bit panicked at losing contact. Western Capital and Robert Paisola have made me a couple mil over the years.

The Western Capital VIP Program has been around for so long that some of our members are even legacies at this point. Like Jennifer Malone of New York. She told us all about her experience with Robert Paisola and Western Capital:

Nothing pleases us more than seeing these comments from our members. These are certainly trying times. And we know that it’s never been harder to save and provide for your future than it is now.

So how can you receive all of our special reports and all of our internal corporate investigation reports happening around the globe for seeing gains during The Invisible Crash?

Our clients and members include hedge fund managers… Ph.D. professors… CEOs of major corporations… Founders of publishing companies… Experts in global mining projects… British lords… And more.

We rely on our immense network of contacts to ensure that our VIP members keep beating the markets year after year.

And the benefits you’ll receive from their guidance are endless. You’ll get access to all of the real time investigative data that Western Capital is dealing with. When you are a VIP Client, you have direct access to the Western Capital Family of Companies, including our CEO and President, Mr. Robert Paisola

Along with these portfolios and their impressive track records you’ll get access to all our premiere member benefits.

You’ll be kept up to date on everything going on with our investment recommendations. You’ll start with our Welcome and the Survive and Prosper Kit, which will give you a crash course to our proven wealth-building system.

In short, you’ll receive all the guidance you need to stay in the know hi how to not only create the retirement that you desire, but you will be a part of history as you become a member of the Western Capital group of people who hold Corporate America in Check and share in the results of the fruits of our legal labors: Lets now watch a short video on this:

Your only job should be to sit back and enjoy your life… Not worry about all the things our crazy government leaders are doing.

So how much does The Western Capital Vip  membership cost... and how can you get started?

Well, a one-year subscription, including everything I mentioned here, normally costs $4,999.00 per year – that's what many others have paid.

But right now, because I want as many people to prepare for this situation as possible, we’re bringing membership dues way down.

For the next few days, you can become a Western Capital VIP  Member for a fraction of the normal rate. You'll pay just $999 for an entire year.

You will have a hotline to the experts Monday -Friday that will personally guide you, and that is all included.

Why so cheap?

Well, to be honest, Robert Paisola and Western Capital  only works if our members stick with us for the long term. As you’ll see, our Client Base is based on sharing ideas, opportunities, and investment opportunities with each other. When one of our clients alerts our team of impending danger in a certain sector or an area that they are being scammed in, like Westgate Village Resorts, Tahiti Village Resorts, The Grand Mayan Resorts, The Planet Hollywood Scam, The Todd and Arthur Spector Scam The Jackie and David Siegel Bankruptcy Scam, The Queen of Versailles Movie Scam and countless others.. we immediately start the investigation process and as you know, Western Capital is a member of the media, and that makes our words travel the globe at lighting speed.

As an organization, we’re only as good as our clients. That’s why we want smart and intelligent people who “get it” to join us. But we realize you've got to try us out first, to see if it's right for you. As the video states, we do NOT do anything for you... we work hand in hand WITH you.

And that's why, through this letter, we're making it so affordable. Our normal client entrance fee is at least 10,000 USD (And it is worth every penny, but we want to expand our membership in 2013, and make more people aware of The Invisible Crash, and how to get prepared for it. It is truly a win win.

Any way you look at it, you come out ahead.

I’ve agreed to this reduced cost membership campaign because, as I stated earlier, I have never been more concerned that my family, friends, co-workers and our members act to protect themselves when The Invisible Crash strikes.

I hope you’ll consider this offer very seriously. I’m certain it will be one of the best financial moves you ever make.

To get started, simply watch the video above and send an email to our offices at vip@westerncapitalcredit.com outlining your situation in detail and we will immediately start to work on your case.   You'll have access to everything we’ve promised in a matter of minutes.

Sincerely,
Robert Paisola
Chief Executive and President
Western Capital International
Executive Director/Publisher
The Western Capital Foundation

P.S. With the Fed pumping $40 billion into the economy every month… And holding interest rates at 0% until 2015… It’s imperative that you begin preparing for The Invisible Crash before it hits full force. We've helped our members through crises before with a detailed portfolio that not only gave them an opportunity to survive, but prosper. We’re doing it again now, when it’s most important.

Unfair/Unethical Business Practices at Advanced Call Center Tech, Robert Paisola Reports

noreply@blogger.com (RobertPaisola.com) — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 06:54:00 +0000

To whom it may concern (hopefully several will be concerned)

I am sure this is not the first negative email you have received regarding this excuse for an employer, however I am tired of seeing the people that work with me and for me, treated this badly.

No call center, I repeat NO CALL CENTER or place of employment should follow their "business" model, if you can call something this unprofessional a business at all. Bank of America, AT&T, GE, Saxon and any other potential businesses:

ACT laughs at contract violation due to having other projects on same floor, when we are told to move our projects over a weekend because of a client visit or an audit, the "head guy" Hunter Croft is famous for laughing on the call floor at how "they pulled it off" after a client visit.

Do not take my word ask an agent where they sat at last week or two weeks prior to your visit, and not one that management grabs, poll a few employees to get a good feel. Verbal abuse and threatening jobs of employees is a must and is standard developmental tool practiced by Hunter Croft, who has threatened my job on occasion, and I have witnessed first hand this same type abuse to other managers/directors who in-turn roll the abuse downhill to their employees.

This accounts for the huge turnover rate (which is why we are always hiring), no training or development of employees. These situations breed unethical practices, which you are seeing in the news. HR violations – Unethical Hiring (telling one person we are not hiring rehires and then hiring someone that not only worked there, previously but was terminated for violating company policy (even employing those arrested for identity theft and fraud, working for mortgage companies)). sharing private and confidential information to anyone that asks for most part, including cases involving terminated employees and even sexual harassment cases.

Things told in confidence are told as soon as the person leaves the room to anyone that wants to know, including other agents and staff, that should not be privy to this type information.

Playing calls in training of customers and laughing at the customers and how they are joked about and talked to by agents.....in training now mind you. Seems towns such as Douglas, San Luis, Harlingen, Douglas and Johnsons City do not publish any negative press in the fear they will not be able to say a company in their respective towns IS hiring still, even though they just fired 300, that doesn't make the news only the NOW HIRING does, or that the same people seem to keep getting re-hired (per some of the articles below "that is if you provide the upper mgmt with narcotics/prescription drugs)

Just drop in un-announced for a suprise audit on your project or better yet, have someone gain employment without upper management being made aware. You will be amazed at what is taught on the call floor to build such unethical business practices.

Even BOA lied to ABC's Nightline and stated they had terminated their business with ACT after these practices were uncovered, and to this day in most sites they still have BOA as a client. ATT & Saxon Operations is famous for their underhanded sales and techniques and my brief tenure under these projects, i had the priviledge of observing and overhearing about falsification of numerous reports to the clients to "pad" numbers.
http://www.hulu.com/watch/180899/abc-nightline-debt-collectors-gone-wild

Employee testimonials (realize most call centers have disgruntled employees however some of these still work there).

Please take the time to read these or have someone on your staff browse these statements and see the coincidences with the above
Nightline story

I realize this may not have as much meaning without a name attached to it, but given the company's track record, most are in fear for their jobs and possibly their life if they come forward, unless given some means of protection. Copies mailed to the following:

(Statement On Allen Harkleroad pending News Story Video Release. Paisola, WC Media )

To Our Friends Around the Globe:

WCM (New York) It is a very rare occasion that we give air time to people who disagree with what we do at Western Capital, however, it appears that this is a very special situation.

We are very aware, that you, our readers, viewers, listeners, clients and friends like to stay "in the know" with the issues that we are fighting and investigating, and most of the time, we refrain from speaking until a matter is fully resolved, but this is an extreme exception.

I want to personally introduce you to the world of a man named Allen Harkleroad, from Statesboro, Georgia.

This is a man who decided to enter the world of Western Capital as an adversary from day one. We heard from Harkleroad when he decided that his "intellectual property" was being used in an improper way.

As you know, we are used to dealing with very large corporations and entire industries for our clients ( see http://paisolafacts.blogspot.com/2010/12/concluding-word-from-robert-paisola-on.html ) ; not with one man band operations like Allen Harkleroad.

When this guy decided to print the article below, we sent our investigators to Georgia. We wanted to see who in the hell this guy was. (Remember, our opponents are multi national corporations and CEO's worth Billions of Dollars.

We quickly found out that the man that was "threatening" to release information... (LOL) was a guy who lives in a 180,000 dollar home in at 107 Ladd Circle in Statesboro, Georgia. (see photo below)

That was our first clue that we should not invest a lot of money in this guy (see www.SkyLasVegas.info)

(July 2011 update)

We are now dealing with this guy in the media. All of the Attorney Data will be published at www.ChillingEffects.com , as part of the Harvard University DMCA Archive)

This is in part, how the net works (Behind the Scenes) It is unfortunate that you have to have money to protect your brand, reputation and IP, but when dealing with guys like Allen Harkleroad, you had better have the money to sue his ass in Federal Court, AND people on the ground to gather intelligence data so you get paid!

However, we received this email...

On 7/9/2011 10:25 AM, Allen Harkleroad wrote:

You might want to destroy any evidence or misuse of my IP or it might come back and put you behind bars...

Now, we KNEW that we were dealing with someone very delusional, and we immediately got our friends in Law Enforcement Involved (Cyber Terriorism) ...

The key is to be completely transparent, so that when people such as yourself desire to "engage" , that The American Public, and Media realize that it is nothing new, and they are then required to look at OUR RESULTS. Again.... NOTHING ELSE MATTERS... JUST THE RESULTS MR. HARKELROAD. Our RESULTS are in the BILLIONS of DOLLARS... Sir... - We never destroy data.

And then came the threat of all threats from this "Man of the People" Allen Harkleroad... (Do you think this guy even went to Law School... College... High School?

Hey Robby, Why don't you go down to the gas station and have the let some air out of your ego, it seems to be a bit overinflated. See you in court and in the news buddy! You sound like broken public relations record and then some you freakin broke ass conman loser. I see through your façade and am going to make sure you have a hard time making a dollar anywhere. You and your UPS store "suite" business suite and cellphone contact. I will expose the piece of lying shit that you are. CNN and Donald Trump might overlook you, but I won't, save your pathetic crap for someone who gives a ship. You may want to give your soul to Jesus cause your ass is mine. Robert Paisola you are nothing more than a conman billing poor consumers out of their hard money. News expose' coming very soon to expose you and your consumer con game.

Allen

- Ok.. "So what.. Just another piece of hate mail. We get this a lot from people who try so hard to gain the attention of the international arena, but fail... LOOK AT OUR RESULTS!

Now we received this wonderful threat...

I guarantee when I am through there will be no motivational speaking gigs for you. Good luck, you are going to need it when the Sherriff's sale takes all you own and I seize your bank accounts, PayPal accounts, etc. You stole my IP and I wil ensure you think twice about doing such again, with anyone.

What till you see what we publish. All sorts of good things (for us).

(Get Real Allen, this is why we get the kind of money that we do! We do not quit! (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJ1W0avwaM ) and we win MILLIONS for our clients with our legal partners! See what we did to Goldman Sachs!)

There is a waiting list for our services, and this is the kind of data that Corporate CEO's LOVE... They CAN NOT STAND GUYS LIKE YOU, so they hire US! (If you are being sued by this man or any of his BS Companies listen closely... YOU ARE AN IDIOT IF YOU PAY HIM A DIME. By the time our final report is released, HE WILL NEVER HAVE A CLIENT AGAIN! ( He likes photography, so he can shoot a few 300.00 weddings in Georgia) Then this guy decided that he wanted us to purchase his book on Consumer Rights...

Hi Robert, Like the subject line says it is Friday, I am in a jovial mood... I would think if some unknown party purchased fifty print 
copies of my new book 'Suing Abusive Debt Collectors' and fifty print copies of my "Stick it to Sue Happy Debt Collectors" book 
from Amazon.com. I might just be inclined, after careful consideration, to let the entire copyright infringement issue die and go away, et. al.  (Links Removed)

Ok.. That was the final straw. " Buy my book and I will go away" Right... We have turned down MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to STOP OUR INVESTIGATIONS... SO HERE WE GO AGAIN! (Look at the cases he lists below.... Notice he does not mention the outcome!!)

So guys, this is the deal... We do not stop. We do not sell out. We do not deal with people who live in houses that cost the same as our cars. We do not give them attention and WE PUBLISH THE NEGATIVE BS, BECAUSE... THAT IS WHAT WE DO! (1-877-517-9555) And remember.. This is how people like Harkleroad respond...

Hey Robby, Why don't you go down to the gas station and have the let some air out of

your ego, it seems to be a bit overinflated.

No Problem with that comment!! We are not only GOOD.. We Are the Best! As for the "Overinflated Ego" ... Yep.. That is true too...(See http://www.WesternCapitalVip.com )

So, as always.. Here is the article that this "Author" (See below receipt ... Book Sale Number 9 (YEP 9 Books!)

We will not comment further, but to say, this is THE EXACT REASON WHY we are so TRANSPARENT. We do not care what people pull out of their anus and SAY, but just remember this... "If you are going to create a world wide difference, and put yourself in the middle of the battle.. Remember.. These kind of guys are always going to be trying to ride on your shirt tails! If you want more information, just Google us and you will see all that we are doing.. good and bad stories! (Follow us at http://www.westerncapitalnews.com ) The bottom line is that we rest on our RESULTS.. not petty bullshit. If you can not handle the way we do things, then this Allen Harkleroad has a great book that you can purchase for about $20.00 . If you want us, it will cost at least 1,000.00 USD. We will even throw in one of our six published books free! (Remember, you get what you pay for!) We will publish the full Georgia Investigative Report when the contents are cleared for release by our Legal Counsel for Immediate Release. It is what is called a "Comprehensive Legal Case Data Individual Investigation" ) and includes:

(Partial Description) Private detectives and investigators may use many methods to determine the facts in a case. Much of their work is done with a computer. For example, they often recover deleted e-mails and documents. They also may perform computer database searches or work with someone who does. Computers allow investigators to quickly obtain huge amounts of information, such as records of a subject's prior arrests, convictions, and civil legal judgments; telephone numbers; information about motor vehicle registrations; records of association and club memberships; social networking site details; and even photographs.

Detectives and investigators also perform various other types of surveillance or searches. To verify facts, such as an individual's income or place of employment, they may make phone calls or visit a subject's workplace. In other cases, especially those involving missing persons and background checks, investigators interview people to gather as much information as possible about an individual. Sometimes investigators go undercover, pretending to be someone else in order to get information or to observe a subject inconspicuously. They even arrange to be hired in businesses to observe workers for wrongdoing.

Most detectives and investigators are trained to perform physical surveillance, which may be high tech or low tech. They may observe a site, such as the home of a subject, from an inconspicuous location or a vehicle. Using photographic and video cameras, binoculars, cell phones, and GPS systems, detectives gather information on an individual. Surveillance can be time consuming.

The duties of private detectives and investigators depend on the needs of their clients. In cases that involve fraudulent workers' compensation claims, for example, investigators may carry out long-term covert observation of a person suspected of fraud. If an investigator observes the person performing an activity that contradicts injuries stated in a worker's compensation claim, the investigator would take video or still photographs to document the activity and report it to the client.

Detectives and investigators must be mindful of the law in conducting investigations. They keep up with Federal, State, and local legislation, such as privacy laws and other legal issues affecting their work. The legality of certain methods may be unclear, and investigators and detectives must make judgment calls in deciding how to pursue a case. They must also know how to collect evidence properly so that they do not compromise its admissibility in court.

Private detectives and investigators often specialize. Those who focus on intellectual property theft, for example, investigate and document acts of piracy, help clients stop illegal activity, and provide intelligence for prosecution and civil action. Other investigators specialize in developing financial profiles and carrying out asset searches. Their reports reflect information gathered through interviews, investigation and surveillance, and research, including reviews of public documents.

Computer forensic investigators specialize in recovering, analyzing, and presenting data from computers for use in investigations or as evidence. They determine the details of intrusions into computer systems, recover data from encrypted or erased files, and recover e-mails and deleted passwords.

Legal investigators assist in preparing criminal defenses, locating witnesses, serving legal documents, interviewing police and prospective witnesses, and gathering and reviewing evidence. Legal investigators also may collect information on the parties to a litigation, take photographs, testify in court, and assemble evidence and reports for trials. They often work for law firms or lawyers.

Beginning of Full Harkleroad Story (Case 11-48993-43) Harkleroad, Allen and Sherrie Release

Is Robert Paisola the Biggest US Copyright Infringer That You've Never Heard Of?

Being that I am a author and also a publisher, I frequently search for unauthorized use of my companies and my copyright content.10. July 2011 01

What literally blows my mind is that some people are just so stupid they don’t think they will get caught stealing copyrighted materials. Seriously a quick online search will show copyright infringement. I employ software that digests my content, then performs a search based on the materials. After a short time I have a list of suspected copyright infringements and list of URL’s to look at to determine if there is indeed infringing content. Then we have folks that just don’t care and misuse others hard work to turn a profit. This is called willful infringement and in some cases can be a criminal offense rather than civil.

This past week I ran across several blog posts that contained portions of one of my print books. I have posted the screenshots of these posts and right below each the scanned portions from my book and website from which they were taken.

The first evidence of unauthorized use of my copyrighted works is from Robert Paisola's MyCollectorscom at Blogspot. In most of the copyright infringements below all Robert Paisola did was change my name to his and posted the contents of my book.

After confronting Mr Paisola regarding the copyright infringement I finally get a response. However I just don't believe what he has to say, as his sister had purchased the PDF version of my book (it's in print too). He pretty much admits the infringement without directly saying so.

(like his sister buying my book and someone publishing the contents thereof)

and

When I tell him that after we finish investigating the copyright infringement, and possibly other infringement litigation forthcoming I get this reply.

So I guess he is asking for media attention on top of it all. So be it, I shall be more than happy to oblige Mr. Robert Paisola.

While researching Mr Paisola, we cam across some interesting federal cases naming my Paisola as a defending in several trademark infringement cases. One of which was brought against Mr Paisola by CNN news.

Cable News Network, Inc. v. Paisola

On top of that, a consumer attorney had some problems with Mr Paisola copying his website content and using them as his own.

"We've asked Western Capital on numerous occasions to stop using material from our copyrighted site and trying to delude the public into believing we are somehow in alliance with this scammer. He has ignored all our requests and so we feel it important to establish for ourselves our complete and total independence. Paisola uses our material without permission or endorsement in violation of Federal and international copyright laws. It's ironic he steals and posts pages that expose him, but apparently he's too busy scamming to read what he steals."

One Final Comment from an Allen Harkleroad Email:

Robert Paisola may just be the most dangerous consumer in America for Debt

Collection Companies and Debt Collection Law Firms that treat people
unfairly.  He has a long and distinguished history of sticking it to those
who have treated him and others unfairly, be it through his famous or
infamous depending on whether your company has been targeted 

"With this book, You can now take advantage of his thousands of hours of
research and considerable experience and put it to good use in defending
yourself against collections lawsuits.  This book provides clear and
practical advice that can be used by anyone who is targeted by debt
collectors.  It is up to you to put the advice to good use. I sue debt
collectors for treating consumers unfairly.  Just be-cause you may owe money
does not give collectors or their attorneys the right to treat you unfairly.
We talk to people every day about the tactics used by collectors and their
lawyers against them, and hear amazing stories.  While you may think that
being sued by the collector's falls into this category that is not often the
case.  There are situations where a debt collector can't call or send a
letter to your house without violating the law, but nothing stops them from
suing you. "

A Concluding Word From Robert Paisola

To our many friends, clients, associates and employees around the Globe, I wanted to take a moment to talk about what we all have experienced in 2010 and how it has effected you and some of the work that we have been involved in.

As I write this commentary to you, my great friends, the first word that comes to mind is the word "Chaos". Our country has never experienced this type of financial shift since the great depression. Every day we receive your emails and horror stories of what you are going through. I want you to know that as the President and CEO of Western Capital, we are fighting the battle for justice on many fronts. There are many cases that we simply can not take on, as we too, are being pulled in all different directions.

The Western Capital VIP Program has experienced much success as we have taken on the titans of Corporate America. We now have facilities in Las Vegas, Nevada so that we may continue to combat the timeshare industries, the illegal homeowner associations, the illegal conduct of automobile repossession companies such as IGS Nevada, and our "Put the RepoMan in jail Campaign, as well as our debtors revolt against Bank of America, as well as the illegal conduct of the administrators of our Criminal Justice System, The Harry Blausey Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit out of Newark Ohio, and the many other battles that we take on.

One thing that I know is that we are creating change on a worldwide basis, and because of our "take no prisoners" attitude, we are winning the battle on all fronts. Our Prison Partners Initiative is working. We are working closely with members of Congress and groups such as the November Coalition and FAMM (Families against Mandatory Minimums) to stop the injustice against the African American Population regarding the Crack Cocaine Disparity in Criminal Sentencing. We are watching in awe, as people like Bruce Poon Tip, the CEO of GAP Adventures, can stick his head in the sand, as they ran a ship into an ice glacier, expecting no consequences. That case is in Federal Court now, and my sister was a victim. We are seeing evidence that our involvement in the timeshare "double deeding issue" is being noticed by the FBI and people like Artie Spector and David Siegel are going to prison. We know that "Slumlords" like M. Aaron Yashouafar of Milbank Properties are finally being outed by our never ending battle to show America the injustice that has been created around the Nation by on man. We will see him in Federal Prison.

There have been some good moments to reflect upon as we think about 2011, and one of the greatest is the dynamic success of The Western Capital Multimedia Division. Our success at www.VegasNightsLive.com has given us much admiration around the world. All we can say is you have not seen anything yet!

I have been blessed beyond measure, and it is the continued support of people like you, who watch what we do very carefully, that we are able to produce the results that we do, day in and day out.

We at Western Capital wish you the best holiday season, and as we always say... Look at our Results.

With Deepest Love and Respect

More on The Harvard University CHILLING EFFECTS PROJECT..

Chilling Effects (From Harvard Law Description)

A joint project of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, University of San Francisco, University of Maine, George Washington School of Law, and Santa Clara University School of Law clinics.

Do you know your online rights? Have you received a letter asking you to remove information from a Web site or to stop engaging in an activity? Are you concerned about liability for information that someone else posted to your online forum? If so, this site is for you.

Chilling Effects aims to help you understand the protections that the First Amendment and intellectual property laws give to your online activities. We are excited about the new opportunities the Internet offers individuals to express their views, parody politicians, celebrate their favorite movie stars, or criticize businesses. But we've noticed that not everyone feels the same way. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some individuals and corporations are using intellectual property and other laws to silence other online users. Chilling Effects encourages respect for intellectual property law, while frowning on its misuse to "chill" legitimate activity.

The website offers background material and explanations of the law for people whose websites deal with topics such as Fan Fiction, Copyright, Domain Names and Trademarks, Anonymous Speech, and Defamation.

In addition, we want your help. We are gathering a searchable database of Cease and Desist notices sent to Internet users like you. We invite you to input Cease and Desist letters that you've received into our database, to document the chill. We will respond by linking the legalese in the letters to FAQs that explain the allegations in plain English.

Periodically, we issue "weather reports" assessing the climate for Internet activity based on the letters we receive and news reports. What areas (topics, legal categories, jurisdictions) are coolest to online conduct? What activities risk being frozen out altogether? What conduct gets the warmest reception?

Getting Started:

The Chilling Effects Clearinghouse contains multiple topic areas. Choose a topic area to view its introduction, Frequently Asked Questions, and annotated Cease & Desist notices, along with reference material and recent news links.

If you are visiting because you have received a Cease & Desist notice, we invite you to input your notice in the database. Questions on the submission form will help to categorize your letter, and then guide you toward topic areas for further information. Once the notice is in our database, clinical law students will be able to annotate it with questions and answers.

Sample Cease and Desist Letter with Analysis

Conceived and developed at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Chilling Effects is a joint project of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and clinics at Harvard Law School's Berkman Center, Stanford Law School's Center for Internet & Society, Boalt Hall's Samuelson Law, Technology and Public Policy Clinic, and other law schools across the country.

Comments from YOU on Westgate Resorts

and the Westgate Resorts Bankruptcy 2012

Hi Mr.Robert Paisola,,

I found your site while trying to find some way to get in touch with Westgate Corp. office. It seems that I can't talk to anyone so I thought that maybe you could direct me to the right website or provide me with an email address to send to David Siegel. I'll just show you what I wrote on my survey after my family stayed there in Orlando at the Westgate Town Center. I doubt it will even be read and would like to get it to someone who gives a crap! I am so glad that I did not buy any timeshare at our tour!!! Here it is and if you have any info as to where I might get this in the right hands I would appreciate it very much!

Thanks and have a blessed day!

(Client Data Protected for Litigation)

My note to Westgate...

YOU STOLE THE DRUGS OF OUR CHILD! YOUR HOTEL HAS NO SECURITY, WE HAD TO CALL THE ORLANDO POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND HUMAN FECES WAS PLACED AT OUR DOOR AFTER WE COMPLAINED...THE WESTGATE EMPLOYEES JUST LAUGHED

While we were at Westgate Town Center we had a horrible experience. The 3rd day we were there I called the Westgate park ticket sales office and purchased 1 Disney park ticket for a friend that was flying in that evening.( I had already purchased 15 magic touch tickets at 188.00 each) I was lied to about what time that I could pick that ticket up, lets just say it was hell trying to get my paid for ticket, plus the agent that I talked to said they were discounted!

No... they were $4.00 more than the park price.I have a large family and my husband and I had planned this vacation for 7 months. My husband and I paid for all of our children (6), their spouses (2), grand children(3) and( 2) therapeutic foster children, to have a wonderful vacation and memories to last a lifetime.

However... what does stick in our and their minds the most are... that maid service came to our room (or someone) and made up some of the beds took some of the trash, stole 15 flexiril muscle relaxers from my son in law, went through my daughter inlaws purse.

( WE DID NOT REQUEST ROOM CLEANING). We had came back to our 4 bedroom condo in the afternoon to rest before going back to the park that night only to find that this had happened. We called security, finally after waiting 30 min they showed up and said that they would make a report and that they could tell who had been in our room according to what card was swiped. We then left around 6:00pm to go back to the park. Well we got back at 1:30am and my children took the stairs( I took the elevator) and my husband was parking our van.

Our unit was 5131 , so we were on the 3rd floor. When I got off the elevator, my kids, grand kids, 2 yrs to 31 yrs were standing in front of our unit and I could tell something was very wrong! I got to our unit and my family was looking at HUMAN FECES laying on the mat at our door with a plastic bag next to it with more HUMAN FECES IN IT!!!

My children were flipping out. My husband was still trying to find a parking space and I called the resort and ask for security, of which they connected me.. The man that answered was told about what had happened with the break in earlier that day and now about the human crap at our door.

His response was " Well what do you want me to do about it?"

I told him that I would like for security to come up to our room and go inside to make sure it was SAFE to go in, he then repeated " I don't quite know what you want me to do?" I of course am getting really mad at the idiot that was on the other end of my phone so I told him either someone come had better come as a representative from Westgate or I would call the police.

He then said " and what do you think the police can do about it? I then cussed him out and hung up. My husband had just made it to our door and found out all of the above and he called security. He threatened to call the police and they said they would send someone . 16 min later they arrived , at this time we have 16 people sitting on the steps waiting to be able to go in our room.

My family was very tired and were had to be up at 6:30am to go to Discovery Cove the next day( we ended up getting 2 hrs sleep that night, our kids were scared to go to sleep in their rooms!) The security man took one look at the Human feces and declared that in fact... it was human, then he chuckled.

My husband is a Police Officer and my husband told him that he didn't think that this was funny. I have stayed at Westgate Resorts several times ( my mom owns with Westgate) but I paid $XXXXXXX.00 for our unit , providing we go through a timeshare tour,starting (private court data) because my mom had all of hers booked and I could not get a 4 bedroom on a getaway. Back to the story...

Finally the top man in security came to our room and he was nice and got houskeeping to come remove the crap( poor guy} Security is a joke! I told my family ...(well the ones that had never stayed at a Westgate Property) that Westgate was the best and the Town Center was my favorite place to stay for the last 15 years!

I am so ,so disapointed in the whole experience with Westgate, it was so bad that our kids, young and older ask to leave a day early (April 13) they were sick of the lack of care and concern and they could tell how upset my husband and I were, they just wanted to go home.

Sad... because vacations should be so fun that you don't want to leave or can't wait to come back!! I tried to talk to several managers and finally talked to ? can't think of his name right now but I have it.

He did agree to refund $XXXXXX.00 (XXX night rental) and that was nice, but we feel that at least half if not all of the rental fee should have been refunded, especially since while we were there we found out through another guest that for the building your staying in, you can actually take your room card and scan it really fast in ANY DOOR AND IT WOULD OPEN!! I TRIED IT ON THE ROOM NEXT DOOR AND IT DID INDEED OPEN!!! NOT GOOD!! I told the manager that if he thought that we had problems that week, that he had not seen anything yet to the problems that Westgate would have if people found out that there was a malfunction on their security system and anyone could get into any room!!

The manager called me back after we had arrived home and stated that it was true and that they had tried the room under ours on the 2nd floor and it opened with some other persons room key!!! and that they needed to fix the problem ASAP!!

This could go on and on because there is more that happened and quite frankly I am still in shock that I am writing this at all!! Like I said Westgate has never failed me or my family.... until now...and thats a sad and disappointing day! I would never consider buying at this Westgate or maybe any, for lack of security alone!

Mr. Robert Paisola, please add this to your national blog on Westgate Resorts to warn others.

Sincerely

(Name Held for Litigation)

THE WESTGATE RESORTS BANKRUPTCY 2012

In light of the reports of Consolidated Resorts in Las Vegas filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and the impact the financial crisis has had on the timeshare industry in general, I received the following email.

I have a question. I bought a timeshare (Planet Hollywood – Westgate) in Las Vegas. If the developer/investor files bankruptcy, do I lose all the money that I paid?

The reader should rest easy, specifically when it comes to Westgate, and in general when almost any developer goes out of business.

As to Westgate considering filing, CEO David Siegel’s response to the Examiner’s inquiry regarding past reports and future speculation: “Bankruptcy is not in our mind or future. Our competitors love to spread false rumors. Not only did Westgate not file in '08, we have never even been in default once during our 30 year history. We are strong, healthy and doing record sales in spite of the crunch.”

In more general terms, while their may be some short term speed bumps for owners in timeshare companies that go out of business, the owners will generally come out relatively unscathed.

It’s not out of the question that in the immediate aftermath of a company shutting down, floating week reservations not yet entered in the system could be lost, staffing could be reduced for a bit.

But in the long run, a substantially sold out program belongs to the owners, and is operated by the owners association.

Bankruptcy is not in our mind or future….we have never even been in default once during our 30 year history. We are strong, healthy and doing record sales in spite of the crunch.”

This is the case with Consolidated, for instance. An insider speaking on background (not an official spokesman) points out that with more than 80% of inventory sold, the owners association is more than stable enough to support the operation of any of their properties in manner that the owners are accustomed to.

Reader “HappyOwner” says it better than I could:

“Well I own a Consolidated timeshare at the Kona Islander Inn on the big island of Hawaii. I love my little condo that I own and get to use every year for a week. My ownership makes me get off my old lazy ass once a year and go to Hawaii. Actually, Consolidated does not own my condo week, I do...so I am not worried about the Consolidated Resorts problem.”

What happens if the resort does not have a critical mass of owners when the developer goes under? In many cases, the property, and the owners already in, will be acquired by a different developer, and become part of that program. Many of the rights and privileges are built into the CC&R’s (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions), the document provided at purchase.

Let’s close with Las Vegas Consololidated owner Frank, who says:

“I own there and I have had much success with it. We just came back from Hawaii and stayed at the Marriot there, total cost for the week at the hotel $164. Tacky are the people who go to these presentations for free stuff. We went there to see the property because we travel a lot and wanted to find a less expensive way to do it. It's not for everybody but it works for us.

David was just thinning out the herd. Like him or not, he is a very smart guy. He is not going away any time soon.

Westgate has no front line sales at any resorts. Most of the resorts are not selling at all. He has laid of thousands of employees not hundreds. Every employee has taken about a 35% pay cut and some a lot more. The future is not looking bright for Westgate. They are doing the best they can but that is not enough for the current employees still employed. They have doubled the work loads and cut their pay. The writing is on the wall!!

Another buddy of George Bush. Isn't funny how Bush is leaving office and America is imploding? How about this Jew Madoff? This makes me think of the wealthy Jewish family Pritzkers who bought the Orlando Florida Navy Base(BALDWIN PARK) for next to nothing? They did this with help of Republican Politicians. Look up the sale folks. Is there a Jewish movement in America to run America Society into the ground? How about this Jewish guy in Alabama trying to get Jews to move in hios area? He's paying I believe $50,000 a family to move? Hum. Is this a political move? I say yes. Wake up America. We are under attack. I have been telling you guys for years about the robbing of America. It's now here. And more to come.Strange Bush is leaving office and America is imploding.

What the heck are you rambling about???? I worked for Siegel and he's no Republican.
The Economy is imploding since the democrats took control of the house and senate 2 years ago....Prior to that we had 6 years of growth even with 2 wars being fought, 9/11, and Katrina.
Give me a break....its collapsing because of Barney Franks, Chris Dodd, and other democrats who gave Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the greenlight to make loans to those who could not afford it. And the $$$$TRILLIONS$$$$ they are spending now. Get your head out sir!

Robert Paisola, CEO of Western Capita

To our friends around the country:

As many of you know, we have been dealing with Westgate Resorts and its CEO, David Siegel, now for over three years. We wanted to let you know that we are having progress, (just Google Western Capital v Westgate Resorts) and you will be able to see all that we have done.

This is the copy of an EMAIL that was sent to one of our VIP clients.

Listen Carefully, Tell them to go to hell and DO NOT PAY THEM. We have many victims in line for a class action lawsuit against this company. This is the kind of email that we receive on a DAILY BASIS:

From The National Wire Services on Siegel

Westgate Resorts Class Action Lawsuit Now In Play

Nevada court might finally deliver timeshare ripoff victims the justice they deserve.

Reported by Utah Stories:

It has been amazing that such a blatantly dishonest company as Westgate Resorts has been able to continue lying to customers and selling timeshare rip-off scams for as long as they have.

It actually appears that Westgate might finally get what they deserve. A class action lawsuit has been filed against Westgate Resorts that apparently has a very good shot of winning in a Nevada court.

Utah Stories has been inundated over the past three years since they wrote their initial story on Westgate: Hollywood Dreams and Timeshare Nightmares about how their salespeople were blatantly lying about the cost, fees and potential value of their timeshares for sale in Las Vegas and Miami.

To get to know Westgate you must know Westgate’s owner.

Mr. David Siegal attends events with celebrities and business moguls such as Dolly Parton, Vanna White, David Hasselhoff and even Bill Gates. All of which have had their photos taken with Mr. Siegal.

Appearing as chum buddies, Mr Siegal attempts to builds his credibility like a parasite does with his host. The Westgate offices are plastered with photos of people who we know and might trust with Mr. Siegal.

Business owners and celebrities don’t realize it might take years to wipe the slime off their hands after they touch or even pose with this guy. Mr. Siegal has the most dishonest sales force I’ve ever encountered.

These people make used car sales people look like angels. They lie, cheat and steal from customers through “gotcha” contracts or contracts they don’t honor because they assume the victim will not go through the trouble of filing an out of state lawsuit. We have found this not only personally but through the hundreds of customer testimonials we have acquired. The flood of testimonials has made me believe this would be a perfect case for a class-action lawsuit.

Robert Paisola has on his blog The TimeShare Chronicles has documents related to the lawsuit filed under Nevada court. Anyone and everyone who has posted their stories on UtahStories.com should visit his site to see how to proceed in bringing justice to Westgate and Mr. Siegal.

To learn about more of Westgate’s deceptive practices. Read about our stay in Westgate’s Miami “Five Star Luxury Resort”. Or any of our other five stories posted on this company.

Ok.. If you think this is a good idea... YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET... BULLSHIT!
(This was an email that was sent to a CONFIDENTIAL VIP CLIENT) Do you guys REALLY think that this will RATTLE THE DAVID SIEGEL EMPIRE... This is what happens when attorneys think too much. WE DO NOT DO THIS!

Begin Text---

Thank you for your inquiry with regard to “getting rid of your timeshare.” The following information summarizes our main method for relieving prospective clients of personal responsibility for future timeshare payments, with ultimate surrender of your unit as our goal.

We utilize the formation of a limited liability company (LLC) as the vehicle through which you are absolved of liability. The LLC will have its own TIN (there are no tax consequences for this transaction), in order to distance you even further from ownership, and lend the LLC further individual identity. This is a legitimate tool and will pass muster against any claim against you. I cannot emphasize this enough; when the timeshare is transferred to the LLC, you no longer remain liable to the timeshare company, and when the timeshare company transfers the timeshare on its books to the LLC, you no longer have liability. However, we must be assured that the 2011 maintenance/assessment fees are current, and the timeshare unit is owned free and clear.

Your property is deeded and, therefore, the common law rules of real estate apply. Thus, as real estate, unless there is a restriction on the transfer set forth in the original deed, you have the absolute right to transfer the timeshare, and the timeshare operator has no right to reject the transfer. The transaction is absolutely legal. In other words, when the unit is transferred to another legal “entity,” liability ends. In this connection, I can safely state that the deed has no restrictions on transfer.

A private limited liability company (LLC) is created (the LLC may be created in any of the 50 states; however, our choice is based upon ease of filing and costs), before the next timeshare fees are due. We ask for a limited power of attorney allowing us to communicate with the timeshare company regarding the timeshare unit. We then transfer the timeshare by deed to the LLC, and submit the recorded deed to the timeshare company, which then transfers on its records the identification of the new owner. Thus, the entire process results in the LLC becoming the responsible entity, and removes you from liability. At such time as the LLC receives a bill for a future maintenance/assessment fees, we will apprise the timeshare company that the LLC has no funds to pay the fee, the LLC is dissolved, and the timeshare is abandoned, leaving the timeshare operator the only practical option of taking back the timeshare from the LLC.

The LLC incurs an annual state fee for filing a report as to the members and managers, but we anticipate that the LLC will be dissolved and the timeshare unit surrendered or abandoned long before any future state fee is assessed.

Our fee for our comprehensive service is $1,100.00, plus $260 in disbursements (disbursements are an approximation, based upon anticipated recording and filing fees) (the timeshare company may charge an internal transfer fee, which we will pass along to you when we know how much it will be ). Our fee is for comprehensive services, which includes filing fees for the LLC, estoppel letter from timeshare company, designation of registered agent, preparation of limited power of attorney, obtaining of TIN, preparation of transfer deeds, transmittal of deeds to Register of Deeds, notification to timeshare company, preparation of deeds of reconveyance, dissolution of LLC, recording costs, and any miscellaneous effort in connection with removing you from liability for the timeshare unit.

Please let us know if you would like to proceed. It’s important to keep in mind the date due on the next maintenance/assessment fee. A sufficient amount of time (6 weeks to two months) must be allowed to go through the process.

Fees are customarily paid in advance, and for your convenience and in order to expedite the process, we will be pleased to accept your credit card payment by phone. You may also pay by check, payable to ATTORNEY XXXX for $1,360.00.

Just as a matter of information, we have been asked many times: “Why aren’t you a member of BBB?” The reason why many “traditional” professionals like me (doctors, lawyers, dentists, architects, accountants) have chosen not to pay for membership in the BBB, is simply that the standards under which we practice our calling, as prescribed by enforceable codes of professional ethics and State licensing laws, are decidedly more stringent than any standards which BBB may prescribe. Frankly, BBB is often nothing more than a complaint bureau for consumers and a marketing tool for members. It has absolutely no authority to either resolve disputes or enforce standards. “We answer to a higher authority!” Should you wish to confirm my credentials, Florida is available online (MORE BS- DELETED) membership is presently inactive, since I have not practiced in that State for many years.

This is CLASSIC ATTORNEY SPEAK. DO YOU THINK THAT THE FRENCH CLIENT IN THE VIDEO ABOVE WILL GIVE THESE GUYS THE TIME OF DAY? ... RIGHT! GOD I AM GLAD THAT I DID NOT TAKE THE BAR EXAM.... WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO BE A LAWYER WHEN A CEO CAN HIRE THEM BY THE DOZEN FOR 25,000 per year?

From The Orlando Sentinel

Amid the nation's continuing real-estate slump, Orlando's time-share king is attempting to sell $350 million worth of real-estate and noncore assets, including thousands of acres of undeveloped land in Central Florida.

David Siegel, president and chief executive officer of Westgate Resorts, has listed a portfolio of properties with Carlton Advisory Services Inc., an international real-estate investment-banking firm. A total of 60 assets are up for sale, from hotels to mobile homes to airplanes.

"We're selling our non-time-share assets to raise cash for our time-share operations," Siegel said Wednesday. "We're selling anything that we don't currently need for our time-share [business]."

The real estate includes a dude ranch and the once-famous Grenelefe Resort, both in Polk County, as well as land that already has government approvals for time-share construction. Carlton Advisory Services said all reasonable bids will be considered.

"We definitely have a lot of interest," said Scott Stay, an asset manager for Carlton. "These are selling closer to distressed pricing, but they're not distressed assets."

Westgate Resorts, like many time-share developers, has struggled financially since the credit markets froze in late 2008. It has cut more than one-third of its staff since then.

Siegel also slowed construction last year of his planned 90,000-square-foot mansion near Windermere, dubbed Versailles, saying he needed to dedicate more cash to the business.

About three-fourths of the property now up for sale is in Florida, though Siegel is also offering holdings in other states, including Nevada, Missouri and Tennessee, where he has time-share resorts.

The assets listed by Carlton's online-auction service include two private aircraft, a 500-room Ramada hotel in Kissimmee and the rights to develop lodging on land near the entrance to Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.

The entire portfoliois available for viewing by registered computer users at CarltonExchange.com.

Siegel bought Grenelefe Resort for $12.8 million at a bankruptcy auction in 2002. Residents there have complained for years that Siegel has neglected the golf-and-tennis resort, which once drew celebrities but has now fallen into disrepair.

Also on the listing: River Ranch, a dude ranch on 1,700 acres along the Kissimmee River. Siegel purchased that bankrupt property at auction in 2002, too, for $5.1 million.

Previous list prices for the properties range from $2,000 for some vacant land in Polk County to $50.3 million for the Grenelefe Resort.

I have been in this for awhile and went to FL with the intention of getting out of this once and for all.I have made my maint fees and haven’t used it for awhile.When I went there they stated I had to pay a $50 deposit and agree to a meeting that would take an hour while on my vacation.Well 2 1/2 hours later nothing was resolved by Hideko the sales rep.I told her I just want out of this timeshare she stated there is no way to do that.I told her I just want to sell the week and/or get out of it BY GIVING BACK TO THEM.I had a fixed week.She stated to me well there are 2 ways to get out update to a flex week so it will be easier to sell it and or rent it out or just don’t make the maint fee and it will go into foreclosure and be sent to a collection agency with unbelievable interest and go on my credit record and I would be unable to purchase a home for 2 yrs.Hideko told me if I upgrade to a flex week I would have a better chance of selling it.Hideko also stated to me that there was a man that rented his out for 5 years straight to a family from England for $600 a night.So I went ahead and did it so I had a better chance of getting rid of it.I called her the next day and stated how can someone get $600 each night when your site advertises $125 each night.Then I got another song and dance to the point I was set up with what they stated was a corporate person that would take care of me when I spoke to the closing person.Then I was baited and switched for a location other than what I had originally signed papers for.Also when I went back the first time after signing the next day I stated I wanted back my original week that was fixed and the closing person stated that was not possible that that was already gone which I replied to her it is Sunday and know banks or offices were open.The list of things goes on and on.Like I had my reservations 3 months prior and after making them they called me the next day and stated they would need to charge me another $500 and I stated I will not pay that so the girl on the phone stated I would have to cancel and rebook 45 days prior to my check in and I stated that was fine.She then stated she spoke to her supervisor the next day and we could leave things the way they were.I got to Orlando and they didn’t even have me listed for arriving on that date.The room we got was below par.The decorations were trashed and they obviously didn’t care about the decor.So when I told Hideko about the room she moved us by the end of the day.The accommodations were better but the tile floor was filthy(were is that maint fee going).A night or 2 before we left I found a dead cockroach by the dryer.That same night I went in the spare bedroom and turned on the light to see a live cockroach crawl out of my suitcase.We tried to go to the owner breakfast the second day we were there and went upstairs were everyone was and they had someone at the front of the line ask us were is your rep?I stated we are owners the person said the owners breakfast is downstairs out the back door.So we went outside and they had coffee, fake orange juice, milk 2 kinds of dry cereal croissants and mini muffins.That was the worst breakfast I have encountered. Especially for a so called 5 star resort.I had a better breakfast at Harrisburg PA at a Quality Inn were we stayed before heading to Orlando.I AM SO INTERESTED IN A CLASS ACTION FOR THESE PEOPLE.PLEASE REPLY AND LET ME KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO GET THIS STARTED.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP ON THIS MATTER.

We made the mistake of purchasing a timeshare with Westgate and have been forever sorry. It is possibly the worst mistake I have ever made. Our dealings with them after purchase convinced us almost everything the salesman told us was either a lie or a half truth. Two years ago Welk Resorts offered to take our Westgate timeshares as partial payment for points with Welk. Our check to Timeshare Closings, Int. was cashed in November of 2010. What Welk Resorts ended up doing was signing our timeshares back over to Westgate. Now Westgate says they don’t have to accept them back and are demanding we continue to pay maintenance fees. After months of dealing with a collection agency my physical and emotional health is suffering. First of all, AVOID WESTGATE TIMESHARES in every way you can. I am now researching the best agencies with which to file complaints against Westgate. I’m sure it’s a long shot but I’m also searching for a class action lawsuit to join.

We own in Orlando also. We purchased our timeshare through Ramada back in 2000, which was in turn sold to Leisure and finally Westgate. We lived in Texas at the time but knew we would be transfering to Florida within 5 years. Well, all was well with Ramada and Leisure until we reached Florida and was ready to use. Westgate has never provided an update contract with their name or any documents other than a bill, not even reservation pamphlet. We have gotten to use our week during our open season April to August but only twice. We can’t use another facility in Orlando or any other city in Florida from which we are told. And we can’t switch to another areas peak season. Our last payment is in August but I would still like to be rid of this beast of the ever growing MAINTENANCE FEE and also included in the lawsuit. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

June 27, 2011 at 11:55 am
we attended a time share presentation and were told that even though we did not want to purchase a time share we could get a week at a discounted price. Our lives are too hectic to be gone for a week so we wouldn’t buy it. The sales rep assured us we could split the week in half and loose one day of the vacation. we called today to book a half vacation willing to loose one day and were told what we signed did not fit that option because we are not time share owners. Well we own our own business and work full time jobs, we knew the combination of the two would not allow us to be gone for 8 days at one time no matter how we planned and now we are told we can go for three days and just loose the other days and money we have already paid. Its frustrating!!!!

June 6, 2011 at 6:40 am
I was unemployed for a long time but never missed a payment except the maintenance fee on our Westgate resort in Orlando Florida. April 08, 2011 I told the Westgate rep that I would start paying on it at the end of the month. I called at the end of the month and completed the partial payment via their automated system. May I tried to logging on to my account to make another partial payment and pay the monthly installment, it appeared that I had been logged out and needed to call so I did, after I made the regular installment I told the rep that I wish to make another partial payment towards the maintenance fees however I was told that I could not pay anything towards the maintenance since it had been sent to an outside collection agency. The rep even refuse to verify the prior partial payment, so now they refuse to verify if the payment was made, have increase the total amount due on the maintenance dues and have some agency hounding me for something that was completely unnecessary,
I would like to join in and sue them.

April 19, 2011 at 4:29 pm
I have stopped the monthly payments on our westgate resort in Orlando Fl. I bought this in June of 2008 and have never used it.Each time i try and use it to exchange they have told me that it would cost $500 plus the exchange fees. When I bought this there was nothing said about the $500. I went to Las Vegas and looked at the planet hollywood towers and while there i had the manager to pull our account up and look. He said that with what i have in Orlando that i will never be abled to exchange for there or nowhere else. But for $7000 he can fix it for us. then dropped the price to $5000. i told him no that we had already been screwed enough. Since I have stopped paying westgate will this end up on my credit report? If there is a class action lawsuit I want to be contacted. I have more info that may be helpful. Thank youWe went to vegas for a friend’s wedding and decided to tour the PH property while there….they gave us he same story. WE weren’t gonna buy at a place we weren’t sure we could get ot easily. Also stayed at the Myrtle Beach peoperty (we oqwn in Orland) and they gave us the same kinda story. And their’s is a refurbished HOTEL! Their property at Colonial Williamsburg sucks too. I want out. Class actions sounds good to me!

March 21, 2011 at 8:36 am
Hi – I am now being hounded by Westgate for ever increasing dues. They are threatening legal action.
What can I do?I would ignore them Robert. It’s pointless to pay a company that lies.

Westgate Resorts Admits Timeshare Advertising Dishonest

Posted by Utah Stories in Media & Culture

A ‘five star luxury resort’ Westgate Resorts executive admits untrue. Our experience in Westgate South Beach and how Westgate’s deceptive practices should refund buyers their money.

Westgate Resorts Miami, Florida

Last week the time finally came to depart on our Westgate vacation in Miami. As I stated in our previous story, the fine-print in our contract showed that our one-week vacation was actually a three-night vacation for $495. Westgate said in their defense that a “one-week vacation” didn’t necissarily mean that we would spend the entire week at their hotel but they would be providing three nights and four days of a “one-week vacation”. Like many I’ve heard from since writing this story, countless times we have smacked our palms against our heads and said,” What were we thinking!” I don’t remember any hypnosis involved but somehow we were duped in such discpicable fashion. Almost immediatly afterwards I had some bad feelings about what we had just bought. What I remember is we were sold because of my inherent cheapness. I figured we might be able to save some money visiting my brother in Miami, all while having a relaxing stay at a five-star resort on Miami’s South beach. I imagined my family in their cheap little hotel room while we would be living large in our “five star resort.”
Eventually we came to the conclusion that what we believed were errors in our contact, or over-sight on our part,continued until it was obvious that we had been duped by modern-day corporate con-art— selling properties under false facades, using the credibility of business moguls to sell rip-off timeshares to people who don’t automatically consider all salespeople to be lyers. Now I know that if you are outside of Utah– don’t believe a word they say.

Hundreds Ripped of by Westgate

Westgate Resorts "Five Star" Room

As misery likes company I felt some relief in the fact that we weren’t the only dopes who had been roped— we have a lot company in our outrage. Westgate Resorts has ripped off hundreds if not thousands of people, who have complained on forums and blogs about their dishonest sales tactics. Luckily, we never agreed to purchase the complete timeshare agreement when were given the tag-team extreme pressure pitch in Las Vegas. However, we did end up purchasing what they sold us as a one-week stay with the option for three other small vacations at a highly discounted rate; with the additional incentive of discounted airfare (likely half-off, they said). They also assured us that we would be able to book the week we were wanting for my brother’s wedding. However, due to a processing lag of 20 days– there assurances were inaccurate and nearly every part of the pitch was deceptive. Seven nights was actually three nights (which I fought against and received an additional night). Airfare was more expensive through their Vacation Passport service not less. And the following is a report on how accurate we found their claim as a “five star luxury resort” to be.

From Four Star Hotel Heaven to “Five Star” Timeshare Stink
After arriving in Fort Lauderdale, we spent the first night in a four star hotel. We had booked a true “one-week vacation” by paying extra for the added days. Our first room was incredible. It was in a four-star hotel in the Boca Raton Resort Bungalows. With contemporary furnishings, bed with a down comforter and silky sheets; balcony overlooking palm trees we were quite pleased. Keep in mind, this place was only four stars.

Westgate Resorts Miami, Florida dirty showers, is this worth their bargain price of $165 per night?

The next morning we headed South on I-90 to Westgate’s South Beach and checked into room. Our first thought: “on what planet or time era could this room be considered five stars.” The furnishings were completely outdated. The various smells in the hallways were noxious. The couches and chairs would be lucky to fetch $50 at a garage sale. Brand new twenty-years-ago, this room might have been four stars merely for its location, however in 2008, the Westgate could never be ranked higher than two stars. What sort of luxury resort are guests required to plug their noses as they enter the hallway?
Perhaps David Siegel—Westgate CEO, believes by putting enough celebrity photos on the walls makes a vacationer feel special enough to make up for the gross smells, awful free continental breakfast. Mr. Siegel has photographs of himself with the likes of Paris Hilton, Dolly Parton and even Bill Gates on every floor throughout every hallway of the hotel. This was an obvious attempt to try to build credibility for the constant barage of tours going through the first floor. Funny they never offered the tours on the second floor where we were staying among the smells of antisepctic cleaner and food rot.

Westgate Resorts five star room service only makes your bed every-other-day

By our third morning I found Martha Cruz, Wesgate South Florida Manager, who was willing to answer my questions about how Westgate printed on their building several times “A five star luxury resort”. Mrs. Cruz’ response was that they were a “five star location”. However, once their improvements were completed, their resort’s ranking would match their five-star location ranking. I then asked here how it was that they clearly printed “resort” not “location” in terms of the five stars. Mrs. Cruz told me this was a referral to the future not the present. I then confirmed, “so your signage is inaccurate?” Her response was that currently its is inaccurate but in the future, when the add their Tiki Bar lounge and million dollar improvements it will be accurate.
When its it ever okay to produce signage and advertising that is not directed at the present state of affairs and sell and advertise as if it is? It would be fine if they wrote, “someday to be a five star luxury resort, but for now bring some nose plugs.” Westgate Resorts uses this tactic for both their Las Vegas non-existent Planet Hollywood tower, as well as their “five star luxury resort” in sunny South Beach. Certainly, no Best Western motel could get away with hyping their rooms as having balconies, marble and 15 foot ceilings then get away with it by writing on the wall of their tiny 8 x 10 room “in the future”. Customers would complain to the front desk and be refunded their money or face legal action. Yet Westgate, has seemingly found a way to get away with blatant deception. Not being an attorney I’m not aware of the letter of the law, but I think Westgate Resort’s lies are fertile ground for a class action lawsuit that should return millions of dollars back to the buyers they’ve deceived.

Timeshare Rip-off Stories

West Gate Miami Beach:
They lied to us when they said we would lock in the price of vacationing. They have turned the Miami Beach resort back into a cheap hotel that now costs less than our maintenance fees and they increase them every year; they are unable to deliver the flexibility that was promised.

honey moon nightmare
My husband and I had gone to Vegas around the same time last year (june), we were tolled of a 30 min talk about how we could be owners of a time share that would save us a lot of money on vacations, at first we thought why not listen we would at least get the free romantic package since it was our honey moon. The first few times I recall telling the lady that we could not offered it, and she continued to lower the price, until she tolled use that 174 dollars a month was the lowest price they would go only for us.. we felt pressured, but also excited about owning something. It’s been a year and I am now pregnant and about to lose my job from calling out to much due to morning sickness, i have contacted them hoping i can cancel since i will no longer be able to offered it, and what i got as a response was that I am not able to cancel~! and should fax a request to some account service department. I’m going to try and do that but I would like to get some help with anyone who has managed to cancel after a year.. pleas.. any money i can make now will go to medical bills and the baby.. but i would need to solve this problem first
David Smith
West Gate ownerships is a joke….. My room that I was shown to be purchasing was nothing like the out dated ran down room actually sold. During our stay our room was ram sacked by house keeping and items were missing. Managment never returned my calls and I wish I never bought the BS package. David Segiel is a comin con.

Hello, My husband and I just bought astudio time share yesterday for 22,000 they told me I was getting a good deal becuase they were giving me prices from 2006. They did tell us we can carry over the week and that we would not ne liable for any damages if we rent it out…when I returned today my co-work told me they got a timeshare there for half the price and a bigger room. After that I decided to contact Westigate and complain about my purchase price…the rep ended up convincing me again that I still got a great deal…once a got home i decided to google up westgates pros and cons and found this website…thank you. I will get started today and send my certified letter tommorrow. Do I just fill in the blanks in the revocation form and sign and date or do I have to sent a explaination letter along as well?
re: Minerva
I don’t know the exact details, but they are required by law to allow you to revoke in a simple easy manner. Please let me know what the exact process is so that I can fill readers in. I’m So glad you found our sight and are preventing yourself from years of painful payments on a piece of sh** deal.

I brought a 2 bedroom at Westgate Palace in Orlando Florida and they told me a lie too. They told me that I could not cancel my timeshare. I brought it on a Saturday in 2008 and when I got home that Monday I tried to call and cancel to see what steps I need to take to cancel it. I was told I coild not cancel it. But reading the article about the public offering statement it does say you have five days to cancel and they told me when I brought it that I could not cancel it because I asked the question what if I get home and want to cancel. They lie dto me and I have been stucked in this timeshare. And they lied to me about a whole list of other things in my contract. The same things they lied to Mondy Nelson about they told me which was not true. Page 17: Statute 119A: that Nevada law allows us to cancel (they didn’t want us to know about 5 days and tried to confuse us and spin around the facts until after 5th day)
Page 9.3d (after table of contents): Accural and carryover of timeshare weeks. You CANNOT carryover your timeshare weeks. We were told that if we didn’t use one week, we could move it over to the next year up to three years. THIS WAS A LIE
Page 10.8. It again states there is no carryover from one year to another. Like many timeshare victims, buyers often don’t use their week or days year-after-year, resulting in paying maintenance fees even without any usage.
Page 11 10.f: We bought a 2 bedroom suite every other year, which could be broken up into two separate weeks. One week in the one bedroom suite and one in the studio. We ONLY bought this because they said we could break it up and use the studio in one year and the one bedroom in the other year. This states that you MUST use both studio and one bedroom in that year. You can’t split in your off year.
Page 11 10i: We were told we could book up to a year in advance for our every other year timeshare. This says only book up to 120 days in advance.
Page 16 6: We were told that if the place was rented out and it became damaged by the renters we would not be responsible. That there would be HOAs (Home Ownership Association fees) to cover. This states that we would be solely liable for any damage incurred. Therefore their promise of the ease of switching weeks with someone in Miami for ours in Las Vegas was also a lie)
Page 2 of Exhibit 8: We were not told that the I.I program (the travel exchange) was voluntary. They told us it was part of the westgate program and that all dues were required each year.
Karen Cavalier
We bought into Westgate in Gatlinburg about 5 years ago through high pressure sales. We told them with my husbans’s job that we could not book vacations ahead of time. Oh-you own-not a problem. They showed us a beautiful deluxe room and we signed just that everyone else. Well, 2 months later, we tried to book and said there was no way we were going to get in that year. They sold it to us in August and had the nerve to tell us we couldn’t go. Through many phone calls, my husband got them to give us a reservation. When we got there, the room was horrible. It was not what was shown to us. We found out that they did a bait and switch. We went back to the sales management and threatened to see an attorney because my husband heard one of the salesman say they do bait and switch all the time. Well, they ended up giving us a fixed week with the ability to float, but that was a joke. Like many of you, we have also been scammed from agencies to try to sell them. Maintenance fees have gone up horrible. I think consumers should be protected from crooks like this. If they were made to give us our money back, they wouldn’t be filthy rich and continue to scam people. I wish you could get some help out there.
Brad Nelson
We bought a studio timeshare from Westgate Park City in 2006. They had renderings and info about the golf course all over the place. We were told that if we bought that we would get discounted golf and basically be treated like a country club member because we were owners. This was why we bought. The golf course has never been built, never even had an approval to be built, and today they don’t even bring it up. Of course the contract states that only the amenities listed are applicable. But come on! If any real estate agent in the country misrepresented facts like that on any transaction, then said “read your contract, tough luck, they would be sued, license revoked, and possibly thrown in jail. I would love to start a class action law suit here in Utah for the time period they represented the golf course. Anyone else get this pitch and would like to join in?
Help us gather 100 timeshare rip-off stories against Westgate so we may proceed with a class-action lawsuite against their dishonest business.
from John Smith
I am a timeshare sales agent, for the most part you are all right, but be very selective about thie timeshare you buy talk to other people and see if there happy with it timeshare is a good thing if you buy the right one. but under no sercumstances trust no one in the business they are all pathalogical liars
Follow-up from Michael
Richard:
We are currently pursuing a personal lawsuit, however the more information that I gather, it appears that a class action case could go forward, especially if there are more people who can come forward such as you with claims that what was in the contract was not what they delivered. For example your situation where in the written contract the difference between how a week is defined, providing 3 nights versus 4; although 4 was specificed and etc. Our dispute revolves aournd what was written in the contract versus what they are delivering regarding the timeshare purchase (deed issues).
According to my attorney this is classic “Bait and Switch” tactics that are employed and what they are doing is fraud.
If you have any other contacts who have experienced simlar experiences it would be great if you could provide me their details.
from Michael Bogenreif
I find your article interesting. We are in the process of litigating our issues with Westgate and would appreciate any other people who have experienced deceptive and fraudulant practices with Westgate – Planet Hollywood.

I want to file a class action lawsuit against westgate resorts in Orlando Florida for misleading practices. It is a typical timeshare nightmare story. Basically, I have a timeshare that is paid off and I have outrageous maintenance and tax fees. I can’t even give this timeshare away. It costed us about 16 grand. They gave the impression that we could resell through them and that our maintenance fees would be around $400 dollars per year. The maintenance fee has gone up to about 800 dollars a year or so. I am worried it is going to keep going up. They won’t buy it back, resell it for us or even take it back for free. It is a monkey on my back. I have read story after story about these timeshare industry scams. I have tried to list it through a timeshare listing company only to find out it is a scam too. Those companies who listed them have already had a class action lawsuit against them or have closed shop and left town. I would venture to say I have blown at least a thousand dollars on listing. I am learning how not to get scammed the hard way. I want to sue westgate resorts for misleading practices. If not for that, then for whatever I can do to them to shed a spot light on them. If not a class action lawsuit then perhaps passing of a bill to protect consumers from these misleading practices of the timeshare industry. It isn’t so much money I am after but setting a presendence. I would like to get back my 16 grand at best though.
from D Baker
It happened yesterday, being sucked into the absolute worst decision I have ever made financially… We accepted the tour for discount, initially declined, later accepted (bought/agreed) and today on the way home, realized what an idiotic stupid move it was… We’re in the process of cancellation tonight. It “IS POSSIBLE” as long as it’s accomplished within ten (10) days of signature “OR” delivery by the developer to provide all required documents (which may include the actual deed for property depending on the state). The FL state statues explain 10 days as the day you send notice, so get confirmation of delivery (apparently that’s all that’s required legally)…. Also stated; you may “CANCEL THE CONTRACT WITHOUT ANY PENALTY OR OBLIGATION” which we have requested and expect a full and immediate refund of the down-payment. We noted this information in our request.
Not certain this will help anyone, but we’re trying and the information was there in paperwork provided.
I assure you that it’s most likely in the document with font so small you can’t see/read it. That’s where we fond it.
Last week if anyone asked what the stupidest thing was I had ever done, I wouldn’t know what to say. At least now, I have the answer…. At least I may be able to recover…
Best of luck to all!…

We took a trip to Las Vegas and was booked at the hotel now called Planet Hollywood. After checking an on our way our room. We were approached by a couple of guys asking us if we would like a free meal and a couple of show tickets, they stated all we had to do was listen to a 30 minute talk. So we agreed and went the next day. No where in this conversation did they mention timeshare if they had I would of said no thank you. The next day we went it was more like a 3 hour and when we told them we could not afford it they magically came up with another one. We still said no and they said we will let you talk it over this went on for 4 conversations and finally just to get out we signed on. When they finally took us back to the hotel we went through the papers but found nothing in there to cancel. So after a year of arguing with them they sent me a paper I had signed showing we were suppose to cancel within 5 days. No where in my packet was that paper. Had it been I would of went the next day to cancel by way of the Post Office sending it Express to the address listed with a return receipt for proof. Then I get a phone call from them tell me my tax are late. I tell them I don’t nothing about taxes they said it was in my contract I told her that contract is useless as your company gives selective parts to people. A couple months ago they started bugging me to give them names of friends or workers so they could try and sell them a timeshare. I went off on them saying I would not even do that to people I dislike. I told the girl that her company screwed us, her reply was I am sorry you feel that way. Yeah right. I have yet to use the timeshare and don’t plan to. I do plan to go back to Las Vegas though and wear a T-shirt with something to the effect if you buy a Timeshare remember you have only 5 days or you are screwed for life.
Response
Thanks for the story Ken. It sounds like your experience very similar to ours. What amazes me is that Westgate Resorts employees seem so naive in the deception they are engaging in. We bought our week in the end, because the final woman we spoke to seemed so nice and down to earth. She was foreign, telling us about her new baby. In the end, we came to find out nearly everything- not just a few things-but everything that came out of her mouth was a lie. I’ve come to think I can trust certain types of people. Don’t trust anyone in a timeshare sales office.
From Tammy Sullivan
Tammy writes that now in addition to selling timeshare rip-offs, Westgate is also overbooking or double booking their incentive package
Its this incentive package they use to lure people into their sales area at Westgate Hollywood Planet Resort. Tammy says that she and her husband booked 3 days and 2 nights for $199.00 and have already made plans to travel to Las Vegas. Now Westgate can’t confirm they will have a place to stay.
Tammy writes -
NO where on the papers does it have a room confirmation for the date we requested. Just a confirmation for a Westgate Vacation package for 3 days 2 nights. Typed on it it says to call for vacation. Well tonight he has spent two hours and spoke with over eight different people and have gotten no where. Never, ever gained access to speak with a supervisor. Last person he spoke with said he would look into it and call within one hour. Well after 90 minutes my husband called him back and he sent my husband to an other guy who said we are on standby in case anyone cancelled. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Not what we have set out to do nor travel over 2000 miles to MAYBE have a room or not. As it stands right at this moment the last guys we spoke with will get back with us tomorrow. Will keep you posted…
PS By the way we are timeshare holders in Orlando but have yet to use our timeshare. We have bought into it 1 year ago and have purchased it for every other year.
Response
I’m sorry to hear about your problems with Westgate. If you do end up going and finding a room I think you will find, as we did, that what they promise as a delux room will be quite a disappointment. There are now some very good specials going on at Luxor and other very nice casinos for close to what you will be paying for your Westgate room, I would try to get your money back and book at another casino. If you would like to read about what our room was like in the “new” Planet Hollywood Resort you can read about it in my first story here:
Hollywood Dreams and Timeshare Nightmares
Good luck, and keep us posted on what happens.
Update From Tammy Sullivan
My husband has now requested they just refund us our money back ($199.00) and forget it. She put him back on hold …she came back she said the refund will take about three to five days to go through. Cannot send us a confirmation to verify they will refund our money. I am TRUELY ashamed to say we have the timeshare with them. (Have yet to use it) In the meantime I am about to call American Express (how we paid for this) and see if they may be of assistance.

  I purchased Planet Hollywood Westgate with an every other year option, being told I could trade it in for any other property in the world with a phone call because Vegas was the most popular timeshare and with Interval International, all I had to do was call and reserve from any of their properties. It is so much more difficult than that.
  But the big things was maintenance fees every other year starting in 2009 then continuing in 2011, 2013, etc. The property was not ready for occupancy until 2010 and I was still charged 2009 maintenance fees and told I could use the property in 2010. I asked how they could charge maintenance on a building that was not opened and required no maintenance, telling them to waive the maintenance fee and I would resume in 2011. They would not allow this quoting the legal problems I would get into by not paying and making the timeshare impossible to sell. I paid the $750 to “maintain a property that was still under construction.
  Now, Jan.2, they are billing me again for 2011 maintenance fees, $850 this time. I could get a week at the Bellagio for that. And I already paid over $20,000 for a every other year timeshare. If I am only suppose to pay every other year, and they have only been open a year and a half, how can I be billed twice.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  My family and I went to Westgate Park City in February, 2011. When we arrived we noticed we were given the wrong room and asked to be moved. It took mgmt 30 hours to move us to the correct room! We have been owners at Westgate since 2008, and had two great years in the correct room. Mgmt is now telling us that it was a fluke that we were in those rooms! I have documentation that shows exactly what we bought! Simply put, they are trying to do a bait and switch on me!
  The treatment my family and I received at Westgate Park City, was disgusting! I am currently working with David Siegals office to try and correct this issue.
  There is more to this issue then I can write and it is very disturbing. I feel I have been deceived.

  Why can’t you get a week? If you try and book a week within like 1-2 weeks before you want to stay, then you probably won’t get that week. I book mine 10 months in advance..don’t have any issues. I have no problem with my timeshare…except the HOA fees…somewhere during the sale that went over my head. The HOA fees are a big rip-off. 700-1000 a year depending on what you own is outrages for only being there 1 week out the year.

  Easiest way to get out, stop paying on it. be just like not making a car payment, it gets repoe’d. You credit will get affected, but bad credit is not like it used to be. Now you can file bankrupsty today, but a new car tomarrow.

  Like so many of you on this blog, we have been ripped off by Westgate. We bought Westgate Planet Hollywood and now I just discovered that they don’t own it anymore. Actually Worldmark by Wyndham bought it a few months ago.
  If there’s a class action in the works, please let me know.

  i purchased in 2007, and was told that i would get a week every other year. However, most weeks are normally booked months in advance and i ended up having to deposit my weeks so i would use them. Then i was told that their may be a fee for using the weeks. This is a rip off and it seems i will never pay it off. Also i used i think it was time share by owners to try and sell i paid and then they kept asking for 1000′s more dollars to list the property and sell it. I would not advise any one to purchase from Westgate.
  If a class action suit is going to be filled i would like to be involved.

  I am a very mad owner we purchased a timeshare with westgate resorts in 2008. We asked the sales guy if we split our time and dont use it all at once is there any other fees to pay to do that and he said no. We asked the sales manager the same question and he said no so we agreed that helped us make our choice we wouldnt have bought if there was we then asked the closing officer the same question she also said no fees. Well later on we found out that there is some stupid fee for us to split our time and no use the whole weeks or rooms at one time that was not what we were told. That is lies and fraud to get people to buy that is deceptive and isnt it illegal. Please can anyone give me any ideas on what to do. Noone at westgate wants to honor what we were told they have no customer service skills and dont care about owners as long as they are getting money. I filed with the BBB what a waste that is they dont do anything.

  I too have a Westgate Timeshare, my was purchased in Gatlinburg. I was mislead in every direction during a sales presentation that went on and on for hours. Sales personal were all over you during the presentation switching off during the conversation if it looked like they were losing you. I tried so many time telling the lady I cannot afford this. They continued to change the deal around until finally coming up with something I thought maybe I could afford. They did not even check my credit before approving the deal. I couldn’t afford it then and I am struggling to keep it current now. I fell behind in the maintenance fees and they turned it to a collection agency and the man talked to me horribly I ended up charging the fees to a credit card to get him from calling me again. I will not do that again. The mortgage is current by the maintenance fees are now over 1200.00 and I make 25.00 payment monthly. I wish I had had the courage to get up and walk out on that sales woman and not looked back. I hate the timeshare and wish it was illegal for companies to prey on people in such manner.

  PURCHASE DATE WAS 7/28/07. PROBLEM WITH FINANCE AGREEMENT. WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE ONE CHARGE AND HAVE RECENTLY DISCOVERED A DIFFERENT AMOUNT. OWNER RELATIONS VERY UNCOOPERATIVE. MAKES EXCESSIVE CALLS EVEN AFTER PAYMENTS WERE MADE DEMANDING PAYMENT. NOT ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY CAN WE COULD NOT STAY IN UNIT THAT WAS RESERVED ONCE ARRIVED ON PROPERTY. CONTINUE TO PRACTICE HIGH PRESSURE SALES EVEN THOUGH ON VACATION ALTHOUGH INDICATING NOT INTEREST AND DISSATISFACTION WITH COMPANY. HOUSEKEEPING JUST HANDED US A BAG OF TOWELS,SOAP,AND TOILET PAPER, THEN ASKED US TO SIGN THAT THE WORK WAS DONE. AGREED TO REFINANCE AT ZERO PERCENT IF ANOTHER DOWN PAYMENT WAS MADE AND NOT CREDIT WOULD BE GIVEN FOR THE AMOUNT ALREADY PAID. ONLY ABOUT $30 OF THE $140 PAYMENT EACH MONTH WAS ACTUALLY GOING TOWARDS THE PRINCIPAL OF THE PROPERTY. CAN NEVER GIVE AN ANSWER WHEN ASKED HOW CAN THEIR PRACTICES BE LAWFUL. RESPONSE IS ALWAYS RUDE AND DEFENSIVE. WANT OUT OF THIS CONTRACT. WOULD LIKE ANY INFORMATION ON JOINING CLASS ACTION SUIT.

  My husband and I have been married for 8yrs. He bought a Westgate time share from a friends sister and her husband before we were married. It’s For every other year and it has gone from $600 to $800 (every other year) maintanance fee. It’s paid for but I want out. I do not want to go to Disney every other year and it’s $140.00 to exchange for another resort w/i westgate and $200 to join interval international for exchanges elsewhere. We have done the latter twice (once for the Dominican Republic and once for Miami) they were both DUMPS. We attempted to add my name to the deed. We were told to send a copy of our marriage certificate and a notarized letter and it would be taken care of. Once we did this we were told that we needed to pay a fee and go to the courthouse in Florida. I am so SICK of Westgate. We just want OUT!! PLEASE HELP!!!

  Timeshare Scam from Westgate Resorts
  
  Posted by Utah Stories in Media & Culture
  
  Part III in the ongoing story of attempting to fight back against Westgate Resorts rip-off time share scam. See our previous story on Vegas time share scams.
  In the previous installment I described how Westgate Resorts in Las Vegas used dishonest practices to sell us a time share single-week package for Miami Beach, Florida. We bought the package with the assurance that we could easily book the week we wanted (for my brother’s wedding in March). Previously, I described how things went wrong. For the past two weeks I’ve made an attempt to fight back against Westgate, and do all in my power to get them to own up to their lies and blatant deceit and give us the vacation we purchased.
  Fortunately, we never purchased the $30,000 time share in Las Vegas Planet Hollywood Resort (which is now selling for just under $10,000 here). We did however, buy a one week package for $495. We assumed this compromise was indeed a good deal, used to entice customers to upgrade to the full package. We were assured by our sales representative Sonia that this was the case. She was a nice lady and didn’t for a moment appear be a con-artist. In hind-sight she was so effective in her lies because she appeared innocent and kind. Where the previous sales efforts of Hikoo and Melissa failed, Sonia succeeded perhaps because as a unique foreigner from South Africa she in now way appeared deceptive.
  
  Miami Beach, Florida
  
  We had completely digested the lies Sonia had fed us had, when we finally discovered them (nearly one month after our purchase). Not until after the 30 day processing lag when we first attempted to book our vacation, did we discover innocent sweet dark eyed, dark hair and foreign Sonia, was in fact a bold-face-liar. Sonia had told us we were buying 8 days and 7 nights. The contract, however, sated “4 nights.” I do blame myself besides Sonia for this oversight. Anyone spending any amount of money, based on an agreement, should read a contract in its entirety. If anything is unclear in a contract, don’t ask for an explanation, instead simply don’t buy. Everything in a well written contract should be crystal clear. Contracts for purchasing agreements should never be confusing, (my dad is a realtor and he has told us this). If there is nothing confusing about the agreement (buying a one-week vacation) there should be nothing confusing in the contract. The contract should be brief and easy. Westgate’s contract for purchasing a (supposedly) one-week vacation is four pages. Sonia was talking to us about South Africa as we were signing the agreement. She never bothered to point out what the contract actually stated. This was lesson number two: don’t be friendly while signing a contract.
  With this said, I wasn’t about to complain to Westgate about Sonia’s sales tactics. Yes, I was lied to, but everyone living in the United States (especially me) should well know that what is in black and white is what matters, not what verbally agreed upon. We (believed) we had bought four nights five days for $495, I could still live with this. My relief in not purchasing the entire time share package helped me to forgive Sonia and realize my own ignorance.
  
  So why have I been fighting Westgate for the past month? Because our contract states in two places that the arrangement is for “4 nights”, yet they keep telling us they don’t offer a four night package only a three night and seven night package. So because there is no such thing as a four night package, we need to understand that we only have three nights, despite what the contract states. Unbelievable? Its true, I spoke to three different Westgate representatives, we have booked our vacation for August, yet each representative has told us the carbon-copy ink impression on our contract is inaccurate and we only have 3 nights. I spoke to two Hispanic women when I called the first two times. I didn’t want to raise hell to these women, so I asked to speak to their manager. The second lady told me I should fax them my contract, and if it does say “4″ nights I will get my four nights. I did one better than this and scanned two pages of the contract where the number “4″ is so clearly written.
  Finally, I sent the e-mail along with links to my previous stories. This was still not enough. I then spoke to a gentleman named Louis, who told me, despite the evidence, it didn’t matter. They don’t offer a 4 night package. I was begining to wonder if this was a common routine. I asked to speak to his manager, Louis said he would have his manager Freddy call me. I said to Louis, “They have told me before they will call and they never did. So I don’t believe you.” I was angry, the entire time on the phone with Louis. “Freddy will call you. I’m sure he will when he gets off the phone.”
  Nearly a week went by before I was contacted by Freddie (Manager of the Wesgate Resorts call center). When I finally got a hold of Freddie he again repeated what the others had told me, “I’m sorry sir, but what the contract means is 4 days and 3 nights.”
  “My contract reads ’4 nights’, there is no ’3′ anywhere. The number “4″ and after that it reads “nights”. Pull up my scanned copy of the contract if you don’t believe me.”
  I then spouted off the entire story about how we had been completely lied to, believing we had bought seven nights. Telling me now that my contract is wrong is unacceptable. I’m not going to accept being lied to then blatantly deceived.”
  I was yelling at Freddie. Freddie wanted to calm me down.
  “So what do you want me to do about it sir?”
  “How about I either get what’s in my contract or you give me my money back?”
  Freddie agreed to generously give us the fourth night, as written in the contract. He said we should receive a confirmation letter in the mail soon. One week later we still haven’t seen a letter. Who knows if he really added the night or if he is just betting that I wont call back again and wait on hold for an hour just to fight over getting our fourth night.
  The entire saga has made me consider the nature of big corporate power. I’m not an anti-corporate activist. However, I have come to understand a new fact of life in dealing with dishonest corporations. This lesson has made me understand how and why our courts are so filled with class-action law suites; where greedy lawyers line up for the opportunity to go up at bat against a big corporate powers.
  Westgate Resorts is one of the largest timeshare companies in the world. With every person you deal with, there are 100s of others who could also be speaking to you. I imagine the span of cubicles and offices must be vast. The representative speaking to you might offer their first name, but in dealing with such a giant as Westgate, its clear that employees believe that there is almost no accountability for their actions or words. I don’t believe that all timeshare companies are evil, or that even Westgate has evil intentions as a corporation to rip-off as many people as they possibly can. However, Westgate functions under a giant bureaucracy where every person, office and resort is an additional layer of padding for real accountability. There is always another rung in the ladder. No doubt, Westgate Executives believe that very few will be willing to make the climb to where the buck stops. Few have the money and few want to hire a lawyer to hold their feet to the fire.
  My final words to Freddy were, “You have my contract in hand. Would you please go back to Sonia, or her boss, and ask her why she is lying to her customers to get the sale?”
  “Yes sir, I will, that is not how we want to operate here.” I’m sure Sonia got an earful from Freddy.

    New Plant Hollywood by Westgate Resort. Timeshare are dishonest and they have stole more than $17,775. I had no clue they were scamming me since 2009 Every time I tried to book a week they it were you have to pay for an exchange week are some other fees and I never used it nor seen the resort, I were paying on it since 2008.They were misleading and lying as they go alone. Using high pressure and making us think we were getting a real deal. This is in the center of the Vegas strip and everyone want to buy this Resort and it worth a lot of money. It will pay for it self. and at anytime you do not want it we will buy it back. I have learned if it sounded to good to be true and they still scammed me. Each man came to our table were better then the other one.
    I want every penny they stole plus Tax and the one’s involved in these scammed should be put in jail.

    We are really idiots, we have been fighting with Westgate since 2002 and we continue to purchase from them, in hopes that we will get to go somewhere else, instead of only Florida. That is the only place we have goneand every yeare we fight to tears trying to go to other Westgate properties.

  Vegas Timeshare Scam from Westgate Resorts
  
  Posted by Utah Stories in Media & Culture
  
  How one-week single usage timeshare options are misleading and dishonest. The second of four installments beginning with our previous story on timeshare nightmares.
  It’s very fitting when you consider that Las Vegas is the number one place for timeshare sales in the United States. I now completely understand why timeshare companies are so willing to offer free vacations worth a few hundred dollars, just to get you into their presentation. Just as most gamblers (including myself) don’t consider the long-term statistics or relevant facts of the situation, timeshare buyers share this mentality. The difference is gamblers have close to a 50 percent chance of winning at some games like blackjack. Winning from buying a timeshare in Vegas, however, is impossible.
  In the previous installment I described how Westgate Resorts in Las Vegas used dishonest practices and emotional appeal to attempt to sell my wife and I into, what we later found out, was a big-time ripoff timeshare.
  Westgate and Grandview both tell potential buyers that they need to enjoy life, take a break from hectic American society. They sell the notion that there is no better way to vacation then by owning a timeshare. However, just as our presentation was wrapping up, a timeshare salesperson was being carted off on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance. The $40,000 commitment doesn’t offer relief but stress. The borrower is slave to the lender, and Westgate Resorts is selling rip-off time shares that the open market offers for nearly half of their asking price.
  
  I wrote my last piece in hopes of helping people from making the mistake of burdening their lives with a rip-off. As I noted in the previous piece, we did end up purchasing the $450 dollar option for one week in any Westgate resort, for attending my brother’s wedding in Florida. The salesperson assured me that we would have no problem booking the room we would want in Florida if we acted right away. What we later found was that a 20 day processing lag prevented us from “acting right away”, and by the time we were able to book our week, the rooms were already sold out in Florida.
  I don’t blame the saleslady as I do myself for being duped. Its clear that these salespeople can say nearly anything and get away with it, and they are likely trained to lie. It is only the words in writing or legalese that matter. In the fine-print, we also later learned that Florida (Miami Beach) is also excluded from the one-week purchase agreement. I don’t believe our salesperson intentionally lied to us, I think, more likely the sales agents don’t know any of the fine print and they are free to sale as they wish.
  The second lesson I can share is, before considering buying a timeshare be sure to research the deals available on the open market. Buyers should never trust these sales agents, they try to convince you that you are buying an investment that will go up in value when the truth is after you have signed the paper work and walked out the door, most buyers have immediately been suckered into a huge rip-off that is worth thousands less on the open market. Timeshare sales agents have almost no accountability to be honest with their customers. They aren’t real estate agents, therefore they need not worry about losing any type of license, if they are dishonest. The fine print of the contracts absolves them from any liability. The distance people travel to attend these timeshare presentations is another way they can get away with their lies. Very few people from Salt Lake will return to Vegas to find the lyer and beat down their door. Trust these people even less then you would a used car sales person. Save your self the lies. If you want to purchase a timeshare, buy your timeshare on the open-market, at places like sellmytimeshernow.com. The thousands you save will apply to many more free trips or false incentives then they can ever offer.
  I’m still not a fan of timeshares over traditional real-estate that you own outright, however, there are timeshare bargains to be found, especially in an economic down-turn. If you have already bought your timeshare from Westgate and you want to get out of it, my recommendation is to wait a year (if you can) until the economy picks up again, then list your timeshare on one of the sites listed on the side-panel.
  Story Update: We have now completed our timeshare battle against Westgate in Miami, Florida. In this installment we gain access to one Westgate executive who admits that thier advertising is dishonest. Read the final installment of our popular series released September 10th, 2008 here

  My wife and I purchased a unit at Flamingo Bay in Las Vegas in December 2005. Due to an extended illness, we used the unit for the first time , Feb. 2009.
  When we purchased, we were shown only one unit, a deluxe two-bedroom. There was no mention during the presentation of other unit types, sizes or styles.
  When we arrived for our vacation, we were given a much smaller, and much more poorly appointed unit, a standard two-bedroom. We immediately complained and were told that was what we owned, and there was nothing that would be done for us.
  Our contract apparently was switched to a different unit which we had no idea existed.
  There are two points that are especially interesting: The sales person who told me that I was stuck told me that switching a contract was “standard operating procedure”. When I met with the property’s GM, he told me that he “hadn’t heard of the issue with the two bedrooms, but had with one-bedroom units”. There was a witness to the meeting with the GM.
  At this point, I’d really like to get out of the contract with these people. They are dishonest, know it, and don’t care.

An Open Letter from Scott M. Kareff, Attorney for Schulte Roth and Zabel LLP, Thank You!, Robert Paisola Reports

noreply@blogger.com (RobertPaisola.com) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:18:00 +0000

To our Worldwide Viewers, Readers and Listeners across the Globe:

As many of you know, we receive hundreds of requests from Attorneys, Individuals, and Families of the Wrongfully Accused around the world.

We take each request very seriously, no matter how small the situation seems at the time. We truly understand the pain and suffering that you are going through because of your personal situation. We do all that we can to make sure that every single piece of mail, email and request for information is responded to by one of our dedicated volunteers and staff members.

We also know that many of you believe that there are DNA specific issues that you wish to have reviewed, because you feel that the technology that is now available might be able to clear your loved one or client.

Because of this question, we feel that it is essential to respond openly to a very nice letter that we received from Scott M. Kareff, an Attorney based in New York City about our foundation. Wow! we are making a difference in the world! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

We openly commend Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld who created the INNOCENCE PROJECT almost 15 years ago, out of a need for detailed analysis of cases of individuals who could and should be cleared because of technology that is now available that was not readily available 15 years ago.

This commitment by Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld created a tidal wave of support, stemming from a small legal clinic affiliated with the Benjamin N. Cardoza School of Law at Yeshiva University, that was dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted individuals THROUGH DNA TESTING and reforming of the criminal justice system to prevent further injustice.

For over 15 years Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld have been able to raise public awareness of the serious problems in the Criminal Justice System. The continue, through The Innocence Project, to educate the public via classes, seminars, conferences, clinics, and workshops in the field of Criminal Justice.

Their success is amazing and they even decided to create an "Innocence Network" that includes The Alaska Innocence Project, The Arizona Justice Project, The Northern Arizona Justice Project, The Innocence Project Arkansas, the Midwestern Innocence Project, The California and Hawaii Innocence Project, The Northern California Innocence Project at Santa Clara University, The Colorado Innocence Project, The Connecticut Innocence Project, The New England Innocence Project, The Mid Atlantic Innocence Project, The Innocence Project of Florida, The Georgia Innocence Project, The Idaho Innocence Project, The Medill Innocence Project, The Downstate Illinois Innocence Project, The Innocence Project of Iowa, The Wisconsin Innocence Project, The University of Kentucky Innocence Project, The Innocence Project of New Orleans, The Innocence Project of the Northwest, The Thomas M. Cooley Innocence Project, The Michigan Innocence Clinic, The Innocence Project of Minnesota, the Mississippi Innocence Project, the The Innocence Project at UVA School of Law, The Montana Innocence Project, The Nebraska Innocence Project,The Rocky Mountain Innocence Center, The New England Innocence Project, The New Mexico Innocence and Justice Project, The OHIO Innocence Project, The Pennsylvania Innocence Project, The Palmetto Innocence Project, The Texas Innocence Network, The Innocence Project of Texas, and The Wesleyan Innocence Project. (Special thanks to Attorney Scott M. Kareff for this resource listing)

As a result of the work that started with two men and a dream, Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld created a very well respected Network of Individuals who share in the same goal, to free the innocent. Through their worldwide website at www.innocenceproject.org , Scheck and Neufeld have gained the respect of the world, as they have taken the DNA Evidence Provision to a new standard.

Our question is simple? Where are the other States NOT LISTED ABOVE in their pursuit of Freeing the Innocent Man through usage of technology? Simply said... They are nowhere to be seen!

Attorney Karreff stated that "Having looked into your (The Robert Paisola Foundation) organization, it's mission and its achievements, The Innocence Project is aware and applauds you for your successes that you have had" We thank Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld, Mr. Kareff and their organization for their notice of the success that we are having around the world! There is no better endorsement than that of Attorney Karreff on behalf of the FOUNDERS of the Innocence Project, and The Innocence Project itself.. his clients!

One thing that Attorney Karreff pointed out in his letter to our office was that even though our successes are and have been noticed on a worldwide basis, there are still people who may believe that we can assist or have the ability and funding to deal with DNA Specific Issues.

This truly makes sense, as the world is aware of the power of DNA Testing, and the decisive changes that it can make to a family of the falsely accused and its global scientific value.

We want to be completely clear to our readers that we do not deal with DNA issues and do not have the ability to assist those seeking exoneration via DNA Extraction and Comparison Methodologies. This is where we simply ask you to visit the Innocence Project Website and "get in line" as you seek the assistance you deserve. If you need assistance not in the scientific realm, but of an investigative nature, we can assist you.

What we do at the Robert Paisola Foundation is much different than what Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld do with their Network of Affiliate Agencies listed above. We use the media and our investigative techniques and technology to not only prove a mans innocence, but through usage of Investigative Media Techniques and endorsements from world renowned experts across the globe we create public awareness using our vast networks to ensure that EVERYBODY INVOLVED, including the Court, The Judges, The Prosecutors, The Inmates, The Families, Defense Counsel, The Prosecution and most importantly, our readers, viewers and listeners simply know and understand that there is a problem that must be resolved. We do not churn the courts with paperwork, we do not grandstand, we simply point out the issues that have created the illegal conduct that Imprisoned the Condemned , regardless of the "political correctness" of our methods.

The bottom line is if you choose to screw with one of our clients, and you make a mistake, your statements will be heard worldwide. We promise you that.

The Innocence Project that was started by Scheck and Neufeld is applauded by The Robert Paisola Foundation for their work to free the innocent. We are similar, however there are many differences. And you will see in the future, as we forensically examine the Harry Blausey Case based in Licking County (Newark, Ohio) that we are spending a very large sum of money to do what the trial counsel failed to do, and to present that to the people that count, The American Public and Judge Thomas Marcelain of Newark, Ohio, Licking County Ohio via www.HarryBlausey.com.

You should also know that Scheck and Neufeld have a very sophisticated method for accepting cases and that because of the OJ Simpson Trial, they have gained the right to pick and choose who they represent. We understand that they have even created a way to authorize, license and sponsor agencies that support their ideals. And money is generated from the creation and fees generated at their classes, seminars, conferences, clinics, and workshops in the field of Criminal Justice. They have even trademarked their Name INNOCENCE PROJECT ! Impressive!

So, even though we know that the intentions of their organization are somewhat parallel to our missions and goals, we need to again state, we can not assist with issues involving the "Innocence Network" including Murder Issues and Sexual Assault Issues, as we leave that to the worlds best.. Scheck and Neufeld.

Therefore, we want to make a public statement that if you need assistance in the areas covered by The Innocence Network, contact one of their affiliates listed above or below. If you are in a state that does not have an official innocence project, including Utah, we ask one simple question... WHY?

Scheck and Neufeld, publically state that in addition to working on behalf of those who may have been wrongfully convicted of crimes throughout the United States, The Innocence Project performs research and advocacy related to the causes of wrongful convictions. The Innocence Project is a member of the Innocence Network, which brings together a number of innocence organizations from across the United States.

As of July 23, 2009, 240 defendants previously convicted of serious crimes in the United States had been exonerated by DNA testing. Almost all of these convictions involved some form of sexual assault and approximately 25% involved murder. (See Wikipedia)

As of July 23, 2009, 240 defendants previously convicted of serious crimes (Murder Issues and Sexual Assault Issues) in the United States had been exonerated by DNA testing. Almost all of these convictions involved some form of sexual assault and approximately 25% involved murder.(See Wikipedia)

The Robert Paisola Foundation pays high regard to these men who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of justice and commends their organization for their dedicated focus on Sexual Assault and Murder. This is now essential to our society.

We thank Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld, Attorney Scott M. Kareff and the entire Innocence Project Team for their acknowledgment of our accomplishments. This means more than you know.

We are in the process of garnering support throughout the country so that The Robert Paisola Foundation, just like The Thomas M. Cooley Innocence Project that are now part of the Innocence Network, will be added to the list of agencies, foundations and individuals who are focused on the goal of freeing the innocent, using a web of agencies in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand to create a non-competitive environment for all who endure to free the enslaved.

In this battle for justice, there are no competitors, just alliances. And the alliances run deep.

We ask Attorney Kareff in this open forum to now allow the hundreds of organizations who work on a daily basis to work side by side with your official clients of the Innocence Project, as they progress toward their mutual goals of reuniting those in The Criminal Justice System with their loved ones. Can you imagine what the world would be like if you were able to continue your trend of freeing 240 innocent people WITH the assistance of hundreds of organizations that share the same ideals as your clients Scheck and Neufeld? We believe that based on statistical data almost 20 percent of the imprisoned population is truly innocent... guess how many are of African American Descent? You know the numbers.

In the meantime, we honor our different approaches to freeing the accused, and pay tribute to the scientific methods of dealing crimes such as Sexual Assault and Murder, but ask you to now open the doors of freedom to men like Harry Blausey, Rick Koerber, Steve Cloward,Robert Lambert and Many others, who represent a new generation of perceived "White Collar Defendants" who are unjustly incarcerated for many years because of illegal and unethical issues with Counsel, Side Deals with the Prosecution, "Counsel who SOLD OUT for other Clients", The Media, The Public Paid Investigators, The Paid vs Non Paid Lawyers and The American Public, who were all convicted in the media... many months if not years before their "day in court"

Thank you Attorney Scott M. Kareff and your firm for your support. We are here 24/7 if you need us!

To your continued success,

LDS Church President Thomas Monson meets with US President Obama in the Oval Office, Robert Paisola Reports

noreply@blogger.com (RobertPaisola.com) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 01:42:00 +0000

FULL VIDEO BELOW!

Five large, leather-bound volumes of family history and a table-long pedigree chart were the gifts LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson and Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the church's Quorum of the Twelve presented to President Barack Obama as they met Monday in the Oval Office.

The 1:30 p.m. EDT meeting — described simply as "a courtesy visit" by a church spokesman — was the first interaction between the first-year U.S. president and President Monson, who became the 16th president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in February 2008.

Arranging for and joining in the brief meeting in the White House was Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., a member of the LDS Church.

While Monday's meeting was closed to the media, each of the four issued statements afterward.

"President Obama's heritage is rich with examples of leadership, sacrifice and service," said President Monson. "We were very pleased to research his family history and are honored to present it to him today."

Said Obama: "I enjoyed my meeting with President Monson and Elder Oaks. I'm grateful for the genealogical records that they brought with them and am looking forward to reading through the materials with my daughters. It's something our family will treasure for years to come."

As chairman of the church's Temple and Family History Executive Council, Elder Oaks oversees the church's genealogical efforts. Church leaders have met with previous presidents, presenting them with genealogical records detailing their family history.

"The church has great resources and experience in genealogy work, and we are proud to have researched such a unique and impressive family history," Elder Oaks said.

In a statement from his office, Reid said: "I thank President Monson and Elder Oaks for sharing our religion's tradition of genealogical research with the president and his family. I am also glad President Obama and Elder Oaks had an opportunity to discuss their shared passion of the law.

"Recognizing the president and first lady's deep regard for family," he continued, "I am honored that our church can have any part in documenting their family history."

Mike Winder, author of "Presidents and Prophets: The Story of American Presidents and the LDS Church" and a member of the Utah Board of State History, said Monday marked the 14th such meeting of a U.S. president welcoming an LDS Church president to the White House. The first was Joseph Smith's 1839 meeting with President Martin Van Buren.

President Monson's and Obama's predecessors — the late LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley and President George W. Bush — met twice, first in 2001 when Bush invited a host of religious leaders to meet in the aftermath of Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and more recently in 2004 when Bush awarded President Hinckley the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

President Hinckley also met with President Bill Clinton in the White House in 1995 to present him with a copy of the "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" only weeks after the document was first read and published.

Winder said it's not uncommon for U.S. senators to facilitate such visits, such as Utah Sen. Reed Smoot's arrangement of the 1911 meeting between President Joseph F. Smith and President William Howard Taft.

Also, two U.S. presidents in recent decades — Presidents George H.W. Bush and Richard M. Nixon — never hosted an LDS Church president at the White House, although each made several presidential visits to Utah and met with church leaders while in Salt Lake City.

Winder also noted the fact that compared to other president/prophet meetings, Monday's meeting came early in Obama's presidency — a half-year after his inauguration.

Following his meeting with LDS leaders, Obama hosted the Apollo 11 crew in commemorating the 40th anniversary of the first lunar landing in 1969.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Opens: Expectations High, Robert Paisola Reports Live

noreply@blogger.com (RobertPaisola.com) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:53:00 +0000

Are we there yet? Well, not quite. “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” the latest big-screen iteration of the global phenomenon, is merely the sixth chapter in a now eight-part series that, much like its young hero, played by Daniel Radcliffe, has begun to show signs of stress around the edges, a bit of fatigue, or maybe that’s just my gnawing impatience. Not that the director, David Yates, doesn’t keep things moving and flying and soaring, his cameras slashing through the gloom that has settled onto this epic endeavor like a damp, enveloping fog and at times threatened to snuff out its joy as terminally as a soul-sucking Dementor.

That any sense of play and pleasure remains amid all the doom and the dust, the poisonous potions and murderous sentiments, is partly a testament to the remarkable sturdiness of this movie franchise, which has transformed in subtle and obvious fashion, changing in tandem with the sprouting bodies and slowly evolving personalities of its young, now teenage characters. The series is now almost as old (it took off in 2001) as Harry was when he started his journey, which found the orphan whisked on the eve of his 11th birthday from a cramped, tragic nook to Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry in a parallel world teaming with wondrous creatures, including an embarrassment of lavishly talented British screen actors.

Surgically adapted by Steve Kloves, who has written all the screenplays save for No. 5, “The Half-Blood Prince” was to be the penultimate film, the corollary to the J. K. Rowling book. Instead, the concluding volume, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” has been deemed hefty enough by Warner Brothers — 784 hardcover pages, 2.4 pounds shipping weight, a fight to the death — to be split into two movies that will hit in late 2010 and summer 2011. Considering that the take for Harry Potter and His Big Pot of Cinematic Gold now totals almost $4.5 billion in international box office, the studio’s reluctance to embrace the end is touchingly obvious.

But, seriously, could we just get on with it? For at least one committed follower of the series, who closed the last chapter on Harry soon after “The Deathly Hallows” was published in 2007, the lag time between the final books and the movies has drained much of the urgency from this screen adaptation, which, far more than any of the previous films, comes across as an afterthought. Mr. Yates, who directed the last movie, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” which also arrived in summer 2007, does a fine job of keeping Ms. Rowling’s multiple parts in balanced play, nimbly shifting between the action and the adolescent soap operatics. Yet even with a surer directorial touch, he can’t keep the whole thing from feeling like filler.

Not that he doesn’t juice the material for all it’s worth, starting with some preliminary mayhem meant to signal that this isn’t your 10-year-old’s Harry Potter.

After a nod to the last movie’s big finish, with Harry bloodied but victorious, the new picture opens in London, where an office filled with nonmagical humans (Muggles, in Rowling-speak) are staring out the high-rise windows — as slack-jawed, presumably, as those filling theater seats — at sinister gray clouds surging in the sky. Suddenly three plumes of black smoke, Death Eaters in fast, fuming motion, cut through the moody overhead dome, race through the streets and wobble the pedestrian-only Millennium Bridge that slings across the Thames, snapping cables, fatally upending human bodies and further unnerving the wizardly world.

If you haven’t been keeping up with the story, well, there’s always Wikipedia. Although Mr. Kloves has done an admirable job tailoring Ms. Rowling’s progressively longer and baggier books, he or, perhaps more accurately, the series’s producers have not made many concessions for the uninitiated. If you have kept pace, you will grasp why Dumbledore (the invaluable Michael Gambon), the headmaster of Hogwarts, has placed so much trust in Harry, a callow student with prodigious wizard gifts and little discernable personality. The chosen one, Harry has been commissioned to destroy the too-little-seen evildoer Voldemort, a sluglike ghoul usually played by Ralph Fiennes (alas, seen only briefly this time out) and here played, in his early embodied form as Tom Riddle, by the excellent young actors Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Frank Dillane.

There must be a factory where the British mint their acting royalty: Hero, who plays the dark lord as a spectrally pale, creepy child of 11, is Ralph Fiennes’s nephew, and Frank is the son of the terrific actor Stephen Dillane (Thomas Jefferson in the HBO mini-series “John Adams”). The younger Mr. Dillane, who plays Voldemort at 16, conveys the seductiveness of evil with small, silky smiles he bestows like dangerous gifts on Jim Broadbent’s Horace Slughorn, a professor whose trembling jowls suggest a deeper tremulousness. When Slughorn, the fear almost visibly leaking from his body, shares the secret of immortality with Voldemort, you feel, much as when Ralph Fiennes raged through “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” in 2005, that something vital is at stake.

If that sense of exigency rarely materializes in “The Half-Blood Prince,” it’s partly because the series finale is both too close and too far away and partly because Mr. Radcliffe and his co-stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, as Harry’s friends Hermione and Ron, have grown up into three prettily manicured bores. Unlike the veterans, notably the sensational Alan Rickman, who invests his character, Prof. Severus Snape, with much-needed ambiguity, drawing each word out with exquisite luxury, bringing to mind a buzzard lazily pulling at entrails, Mr. Radcliffe in particular proves incapable of the most crucial cinematic magic. Namely the alchemical transformation of dialogue into something that feels like passion, something that feels real and true and makes you as wild for Harry as for all those enticingly dark forces.

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” is rated PG (Parental guidance suggested). The movie is more suggestively than overtly violent, though sometimes rather intense.

Utah Man Charged With Operating Real Estate Ponzi Scheme

noreply@blogger.com (RobertPaisola.com) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:47:00 +0000

Tuesday, April 28, 2009

Utah Man Charged With Operating Real Estate Ponzi Scheme

Jeffrey Lane Mowen, 47, Lindon, Utah, is charged in federal indictment, returned by a grand jury in February 2009, recently unsealed, with three counts of wire fraud for allegedly receiving more than $18 million for investment in one of two prorams touted to investors - a real estate leveraging program or a foriegn currency trading program. Law enforcement authorities believe Mowen is currently living outside of the United States. An arrest warrant was issued when the indictment was returned, however Mowen had not been located. The potential maximum penalty for each count of wire fraud is 20 years and a fine of $250,000.

Contrary to Mowen's representations to investors that he was investing their money in a foreign currency trading or real estate leveraging program, the indictment alleges he used the funds to purchase more than 200 high-end antique, classic, and modern vehicles, including cars, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, threewheelers, and other vehicles. Mowen used these vehicles as symbols of his success to investors, according to the indictment. The indictment also alleges Mowen used investor funds to, among other purposes, pay for personal expenses, including payments to himself and his wife, dining expenses, vehicle storage fees, travel, utilities, and credit card expenses.

The indictment alleges individuals invested millions of dollars in Mowen's investment programs. One investor, T.F., invested more than $18 million of pooled investor funds with Mowen for use in his real estate leveraging program from November 2006 to around June 2007. T.F. also invested approximately $100,000 during October 2006 with Mowen for use in his foreign currency trading program after Mowen promised him a return of 33 percent per month, the indictment charges. Another investor, J.B., invested approximately $550,000 with Mowen from around May 2007 to October 2007 for use in Mowen's foreign currency trading program.

The indictment alleges that Mowen paid investment returns to investors using old and new investor funds (commonly known as "Ponzi payments") giving investors the false and misleading impression that such payments and returns were from the investment programs. When the payments to T.F. stopped in November 2007, the indictment alleges Mowen lulled investors through a string of false excuses which continued well into 2008. Ponzi payments to J.B. stopped in May 2008. Other than the Ponzi payments in 2007 and 2008, and vehicles given to some investors, investors lost their entire investment.

Defendants charged in indictments are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty in court. The case is being investigated by the FBI. The SEC Denver Regional Office also has provided assistance and cooperation.

Law enforcement authorities are still determining how many victims of Mowen's alleged Ponzi scheme there may be. Individuals who believe they may be a victim of the conduct charged in the indictment can contact the FBI in Salt Lake City.
