| Subject: Turn $6 into $60,000!!!! Are you SATISFIED with your INCOME???? If NOT, please READ THIS!!!! | |
|
Author: N.Cooper [ Edit | View ] |
Date Posted: 01:14:56 03/17/05 Thu Dear Internet User, Hi, I'm 23 years old and I make more money now from my home than I ever did before by working, and so can you! Turn $6.00 into $60,000...read this to find out how!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin board like this one and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through several newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you need to send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are millions) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works.... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! SUGGESTION: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage). IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. ~~~HERE ARE 4 EASY STEPS TO GET STARTED~~~ STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope ( Please make sure that the bill wouldn't be noticed in the envelope to prevent thievery). Send out US $ DOLLAR, so it would be more acceptable. STEP 2: Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them properly. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the phrase, "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST.", your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting for a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses below: #1) Rostum Hernandez ; #2 Jericho St, Victoriaville Subd. , Antipolo City , Phillippine, 1870 #2) R.Pena ; 1962 46 St. S.W., Naples , FL., USA, 34116 #3) J.T Sargent ; 4851 Hillsdale Cir. Chattanooga, TN USA , 37416 #4) Maria Arneson ; 613 Stafford Street Folsom, California, 95630 #5) Jason Parks ; 23 Red Barberry Drive Etters, Pennsylvania, 17319 #6) N. Cooper ; 2701 Heinz Rd Apt #10, Iowa City, IA, 52240 STEP 3: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 4: Copy this article. Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 2.4million groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341, US Postal and Lottery Laws or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of Federal regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which states; "a product or service must be exchanged for money received." The simple note in the letter, "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST", makes it legal because you are paying for exchange of a service, (adding the purchasers name to his mailing list) for a $1.00 fee. : Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way, if you are a person of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! ~~~DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS~~ Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your mouse cursor at the beginning of this letter, click and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, right click and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your mouse cursor at the top of the blank page. Right click and from the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name and postal address to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the "post" message button. You're done with your first one! NOTE: Please don't SPAM or send unsolicited emails. It's completely illegal. Send emails to all the people you know or any ways that allows you to, instead of SPAMMING.( Just a reminder). Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about a minute for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** *Now the WHY part; Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still ONLY 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet!!! REMEMBER, PLAY FAIRLY AND HONESTLY AND THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU!!! |

Date Posted: 21:39:30 01/11/04 Sun When one considers all the costs and benefits, an evacuated tube maglev system with small (six passenger) vehicles will be much better than ITC. See http://www.et3.com . ET3 will go twice as fast as the Concorde supersonic airliner and can switch at full speed because the switch is in the vehicle, not the track. With essentially no air drag the propulsion energy used is very small compared to all other transport modes. It is also makes no noise, is totally all weather capable, environmentally friendly, and won't bump into birds, animals or people.

Date Posted: 22:08:07 01/11/04 Sun In the first post "Anonymous" started out by saying, "Over 100 years ago, in the waning days of the Robber Barons, the copper companies did what they did for profit as they had a right to do. "They represented their own interests and potential profits against what was then a new and unknown technology such as Tesla's demonstration to transmit electricity without wires. See: [http://www.democracynature.org/dn/vol4/raptis_technology.htm]." I rose to the challenge and went to your reference and found only one reference to Tesla, and that was to his invention of alternating current (in wires, I presume). Granted, Tesla did do some work in broadcasting energy, but this reference does not address it. BTW, this history of technology ranks among the most cynical writing that I have seen: and I consider myself to be extremely cynical myself! ------- In response: Tesla was brilliant, but often went off the deep end. Broadcasting energy in three dimensions is horribly inefficient (the available energy diminishes as a cubic function). Today we are able to "beam" energy, but it then becomes unavailable to any but "point" receivers. To get it to myriad end users requires transponding a myriad of times, with each transponding creating another inefficiency. How is this better than wires? I've read the ITC concept description on your web site, and consider it to have many viable (but not new) elements -- and many elements that are highly questionable. It is not yet well enough developed to warrant anything but idle curiosity. How may I contact the "ITC Advocacy group in Washington State"? I am actively involved in transportation planning in Washington and have no knowledge of such an organization other than the King County Monorail organization -- which I have the utmost regard for. Keep up the good work, dreaming is important, but I don't think that you are quite ready for prime time. Before you present a proposal to decision makers, get some meat on your ideas' bones.

Date Posted: 17:52:43 01/16/04 Fri China abandons plans to build high-speed rail line in favor of cheaper conventional trains TED ANTHONY, Associated Press Writer (01-16) 02:03 PST BEIJING (AP) China has abandoned plans to build a high speed magnetic levitation railway between Beijing and Shanghai in favor of less expensive conventional trains, the government said Friday through its official media. The China Daily, citing unidentified sources, said Premier Wen Jiabao was involved in the decision to use the conventional rail system. The Communist Party newspaper People's Daily also reported the decision. Officials made the decision at a Jan. 7 meeting of the State Council, the country's Cabinet, according to the China Daily. Besides cost, "the maglev technique was excluded because it does not match the wheel-track technique used by railways in China," the report said, citing Wang Derong, vice-chairman of the China Transport Association. The Railways Ministry had no immediate public comment and did not answer its telephone Friday morning. At least one newspaper, the Beijing Morning Post, said the decision to abandon the maglev plan had not been finalized. The scrapping of the 9-year-old maglev project -- two weeks after the country's first maglev, a short stretch in Shanghai, began regular operation -- represents a setback for the development of the technology in China, which many had seen as one of its key markets. It also appears to open the market for other alternatives on the proposed Beijing-Shanghai line. Other options for the railway, according to state media, include styling it after the Shinkansen, Japan's high-speed bullet train, or two methods used in France -- TGV and Inter-City Express. The Shanghai maglev is German-built. The online edition of People's Daily said the decision was part of a larger plan for the nation's railways passed by the Cabinet. "There have been many versions of the rail and maglev dispute, but an end has been put on them by the passage of the medium-and-long term plan," People's Daily said. "This is indeed the end of decade-long feasibility studies." Leaders envision a high-speed railway network for China that includes four north-south lines and four east-west lines, the government says. Such a network would help move hundreds of millions of Chinese who increasingly are traveling around their own country -- and, more important, help transport goods and raw materials. China began daily runs of the world's first commercially operated maglev in Shanghai on Jan. 1, but the $1.2 billion German-built system spans only 18 miles. It connects Shanghai to its 3-year-old airport, the city's second. The Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway Project was first proposed in 1997. The cost of the 750-mile railway has been estimated at $14 billion. The maglev cost can be as high as $36 million to $48 million per half mile, twice that of wheel-track lines, the China Daily said. German companies spent decades and billions of dollars developing maglev technology, but had searched in vain for a customer until Shanghai leaders picked the system as a way to highlight the city's high-tech ambitions. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2004/01/16/international0503EST0473.DTL http://www.sunherald.com/mld/sunherald/news/local/7725753.htm |

Date Posted: 21:40:16 01/11/04 Sun Traffic in Toronto is atrocious. They are desparate to find how to solve their problems, which are mostly of their own creation. My own system is not ready, until I find enough money to build a test system something like Skyweb Express or Ultra has done. The federal govt is about to pour in about $300 million to provide a TRAIN link to the airport, mostly using existing tracks. They think they are going to charge $20 one way, and get passengers (this almost 2 hrs pay for a lot of the workers). Ha Ha. The bus, streetcar, and subway costs the city about $500 million per year in subsidies, and the major expressway needs so much repair (about $3 billion, I think) that there has been some talk about demolishing it. |

Date Posted: 21:35:22 01/11/04 Sun Why have none of the Seattle papers picked up the story about the ITC offer? Could it be that the offer has only been made in a self-serving press release and not to the appropriate public agencies that could actually approve moving forward on the project. While it would be wonderful to have a 100 mile system monorail throughout the Puget Sound region, I have yet to see any evidence that this ITC offer is real. |

Author: No name [ Edit | View ] |
Date Posted: 21:31:09 01/11/04 Sun The resistance is always there, it seems. I personally think that the people in charge of anything are always reluctant to approve something that might make them obsolete. Any manager or otherwise that adopts something new knows the same about it on opening day as his lowest employee. This makes him very easy to replace. I remember some of the mistakes made when computers were new. We were looking into using computers to help do some of the work involved with Air Traffic Control. Nobody in the govt service knew anything about computers, so we had to call on IBM to look at what problems it could help us with. This meant that some of the staff had to be assigned to IBM for training. Maybe the boss should have gone too, because he now had some employees that could talk about computers, and he didn't have a clue what they were talking about. You can see how this put him in a difficult position, which he would have avoided, if he could, by finding a reason to cancell tthe project. Fortunately he wasn't high enough up the ladder to do this. Later, in many businesses, it was the people with computer training who moved rapidly to management positions. The same will probably happen with the systems we are pluging. As soon as one gets operational, somebody who knows the system well will end up in management somewhere, and be in a position to speed things up. |

|
Author: No name [ Edit | View ] |
Date Posted: 21:26:51 01/11/04 Sun Question: If it doesn't cost Seattle anything, why do you use the term "purchase order"? Answer: There are issues like use of right of ways, routes, many details, all of which require a contract. The contract will state that the ITC is funding the construction of it. Likewise, the Seattle ITC Loop will NOT be privately owned, which requires a contract. Question: What would Seattle need to do to accept the ITC offer? Answer: Agreement on issues of mutual interest to both parties. Question: If the mayor told you to start, when would you be ready to start construction? Answer: The Mayor has no such authority without the council. If the City Council agreed, and discussions lead to a mutually acceptable contract, construction could start shortly thereafter. Question: If the mayor asked you for additional specific information, would you send it to him? Answer: Indeed. Question: What about if a city councilman asked, or a representative of a neighborhood council for an area that your proposed system will pass through? Answer: Likewise. Why wouldn't we? Question: Or is it that you'll have more information available at some point, but you're not ready to share it yet? Answer: No secrets from our end. Check out our website. It's all there. Whatever we don't know or have, we'll get and provide. Why wouldn't we? Question: How can Seattle decide whether to accept your system without more specific information about it? Answer: It starts with a dialogue. That Simple. |

Date Posted: 19:56:01 01/11/04 Sun Over 100 years ago, in the waning days of the Robber Barons, the copper companies did what they did for profit as they had a right to do. They represented their own interests and potential profits against what was then a new and unknown technology such as Tesla's demonstration to transmit electricity without wires. See: [http://www.democracynature.org/dn/vol4/raptis_technology.htm]. 100 years ago, the robber barons ruled almost supreme whereas, today politicians and administrators control the introduction of new systems or choosing between two competing old systems. Our elected officials have a duty to examine this new magnetic system of transportation which is not in the same state of just theoretical development as was Tesla's at the time of the conflict with the copper companies. The ITC is clearly in a more advanced state waiting for a practical application. All of the ITC system components exist and are not theoretical in nature. While special interest groups have vested interests to resist the building and implementation of a magnetic railway, elected, appointed and contracted officials, who represent or work for the local governments, have a duty to make a peace with competing special interests and their supporters such as those who favor a Monorail system and those who favor a Light Rail system. They have an obligation and duty to work out the feasibility of implementing a trial magnetic Rail system at no public expense. The ITC Advocacy group in Washington State feels that men and women with courage need to act in the region's best interest by examining the ITC proposal for a Magnetic System before $4.5 Billion is spent to build a light rail system that is obsolete before ground breaks. The ITC Advocacy group in Washington State understands numerous benefits to a high speed transit MAGLEV system (i.e - in excess of 200 MPH), one of which is that it would become feasible for a company like Boeing, Microsoft, other key industries in the Washington State "urban" centers without having to worry about not finding sufficient labor when skilled labor can be transported daily to and from the Puget Sound area (and elsewhere - perhaps from Spokane or the Tri Cities) with little impact to increasing meaningful congestion either in the Puget Sound area where the roads are congested. Congestion would be relieved in the urban areas if sufficient labor, who use existing freeways in today's business climate, would not use the same roads that they use today to work in the inner cities. |

Date Posted: 17:18:28 01/11/04 Sun Our mission is to mass produce the least expensive and most universal form of public conduit to move people via maglev technology, and simultaneously provide structural conduit for the distribution of electricity, potable water, liquid waste, fiber optics, hydrogen, and where applicable, other liquid and vapor based fuels. See: http://www.InterstateTraveler.us/ By partnership with the State and Federal governments, we intend to expand our business to include an International Sales Organization to supply light rail systems and utility conduits to municipalities world wide. Our aim is to provide a continuous revenue stream for municipal governments for the management of public works such as the Interstate Traveler rail system and the supplemental utilities installed simultaneously. Our vision is this: To mass produce a unified public conduit system that can be installed anywhere at the lowest possible cost, the highest possible quality, from the most resilient materials. The Interstate Traveler plans to consolidate public utility disbursement into a mass produced and affordable commodity marketed to municipalities world wide. Directly servicing the ever growing populations of the world with reliable and quickly installed utility conduits for electricity, potable water, fluid waste, liquid and vapor based fuels, and public transportation. Our Cloverleaf Substations offer ideal accommodations for access by existing localized bus and taxi transit services at the township and county level by fully integrating with the entrances and exits of the established transportation infrastructure that is our beloved highway system. By providing maglev rail mass transit for both pedestrian passengers and for personalized automobile accommodations, we promote the use of both public and private transportation. With the automobile accommodations, you can drive your car into a car ferry, and ride in the comfort of your own private vehicle while the car ferry takes you where you want to go without any interruptions. |
