Could we be seeing "gifting clubs" galore before too long?

WITH SOME SUGGESTING THAT MAJOR SOCIOECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY COULD BE FORTHCOMING, thanks all the more to His Fraudulency's Great Within and their flawed, ideologically-driven maths increasing the National Debt to some $9 trillion and change, Your Correspondent (and perhaps some of you reading this right now) are probably wondering if "cashflow gifting" schemes could start to make the rounds wholesale within measurable distance.
Especially so in lower-income or otherwise economically-challenged parts of the country, never mind the lies and distortions Fox News Channel wants you accepting about the socioeconomic climate of America being better than ever--not to mention the rather saccharine appeals to real or otherwise imminent socioeconomic dislocation adversely affecting the Great Unwashed all the more.

GIFTING PROMOTIONS, FOR THEIR PART, MUST BE RATHER FOND THEMSELVES of using code and weasel words to further create the aura of "empowerment" through mutual self-help rather than "enslavement to State welfare" as could be all the more likely in such circles as are gifting's prime targets. Witness the following list of words and phrases which lawyers connected to a discredited "gifting" scam a few years back asked those involved in its operation not to use, according to MLM Watchdog:
- Investment
- Took In
- Paid out
- Paid Earnings
- Paid off
- Getting Paid
- Make
- Play the panel
- Sponsor
- Profits
- Play the house
- Recruit
- Dividends
- Guarantee
- Sign-up
- Player
- Assured Buy
- Buy-in
- Down-line
- Sure bet
- Purchase
- Up-line
- Earn

- Activity
- Right to give
- Senior
- I have received
- Receive
- Junior
- Participant
- I have gifted
- Giving
- Family
- Freshmen
- Nice people
- Sophomore
- Participation
- Register your gift
- Giving
- Golden Rule
- Associates
- Panel
- Invited by
- Fellow man
- Help your Church
- Money for Church
- Community
- Constitutional Rights
- Kindness
- Free association
- Sharing
- Caring
- Invitation
- Gifting is Legal
- Legal Gifting
- IRS approves Gifting
- Gifting Completely legal
Inevitably, though, "gifting" promotions will use one or more of these terms to create an aura of credibility. Hence, if you notice such phrases being used in "gifting" promotions, forget it.

AS IF "MUTUAL SELF-HELP" WASN'T "FEEL-GOOD" ENOUGH IN THE GIFTING COMMUNITY, it's emerging that some online-based "gifting" schemes are using deliberately-flawed or otherwise manipulated programs which serve only to pervert the whole idea of "mutual self-help," using such solely for the personal enrichment of those involved.
Again from MLM Watchdog, we have the testimony of a participant in one such scam, "5-Star Gifting," which suggests such a possibility (emphasis supplied):
The person that runs this program who calls himself David Rosen which apparently not even his real name controls the software and has been manipulating the software such that gifts automatically go to him that should be gifted to others. He is basically using the software as an automated theft tool. Often people are not aware he is stealing from them because they either do not understand how the software is suppose to work or he just tells them that it wasnt working properly and it is fixed now after thousands of dollars have been gifted to him that should have gone to others. The software is routinely manipulated to route gifts to his position at the top. There are many people in this program that can verify what I have written here. David whatever he calls himself is a thief that should be in jail. Right now he is making thousands of dollars a day off a program that is totally corrupt.
So much for gifting as an ideal of "mutual self-help" in action.
Next time around, a suggestion.
