The New World Order and Motorcycle Clubs

by LJ James

The New World Order and Motorcycle Clubs

What a crazy world we live in today. It’s come to a point where you just don’t know what to believe any more. The “news” media has gone from investigative reporting to regurgitating Government and Corporate “News Releases” as actual news.

The thing that I don’t understand is, some people actually believe everything they see on TV or read in the paper or on the Internet. You can tell people the Sky is falling but if it wasn’t reported on CNN, People will just think your some kind of crazy Chicken Little. Chunks of the sky could be hitting them in the head and they still wouldn’t believe it.

If CNN reports that the Sky is Falling and states the reason as “human over consumption of oxygen”, people start trying to figure out how to stop breathing so they can stop the Sky from falling. It doesn’t matter if the real reason is some new Military Toxin.

Let’s say there is some national disaster and you say something different from the official Government release on why and how it happened. Now you’re some kind of crazy Conspiracy Nut. Again It doesn’t matter what kind of proof you have, what kind of scientific evidence you try and present, you’re just a nut and no one wants to listen to you.

Because We all know the United States Government would never lie to us. They’d never conspire against the people of this country. Anyone remember The “Gulf of Tonkin” incident? Iran/Contra? Weapons of Mass Destruction?

We’re used to hearing about the Government Controlled Media in places like China and Russia, but what of the “News” media in the United States? Just a few months ago our Government was besieged with letters, email, and phone calls by people who were vehemently against the so-called Wall Street Bail-Out. At first the measure failed. CNN broadcast a week of programming designed to “educate” us stupid Americans on the reasons why we needed to pay for this bail-out. The next week it passed.

This is not the “Free Press” our founding fathers envisioned. Our founding fathers envisioned a “Free Press” that would help to keep our Politicians and our Government honest, as a way to speak out against injustices, not an “education” tool.

What has happen to the Spirit of the American people? When did we stop demanding to know the truth about what is going on? When did the Truth get too hard for us to handle? Is it fear? It seems every time someone uses the phrase “National Security”, that somehow, we understand that’s all we need to know.

Is it apathy? What happened to the days of protest, the intolerance of greed and corruption? Throughout History there are examples of great Societies that have fallen, not from outside forces, but from corruption within.

We live in a world of the Future where things that seemed impossible yesterday are common place by tomorrow. For some of us, we’re too busy trying to make it to tomorrow to worry about what is happening politically in the World. We’re too busy working and taking care of our families to seek the truth or get involved with some kind of cause.

Many still believe that eventually the Government will take care of us, that despite the loss of our industry, the loss of our jobs, the loss of our freedoms, and the lowering of our standard of living, the Governments still have our best interests at heart.

When we see Governments around the World curtailing our right of assembly, our freedom of speech, do we stand up or do we accept it? Lately, it seems that these political entities have been giving those of us in Motorcycle Clubs a little extra attention. Why is that? Most Motorcycle Clubs are made up of principled, patriotic men who value family, brotherhood and their communities above all else. Many are Veterans of Wars past and present.

Why are we viewed as Radicals & Extremists. The Governments of the world have begun pushing hard to break us up, shut us down.

As a Biker and a Member of a Motorcycle Club I see many injustices taking place all over the world. I have seen Motorcycle Clubs names and logos seized in dirty under handed methods. Large Clubs charged with Crimes and their members locked away. Government Agents inserted into clubs for years so that they can introduce drugs and violence into the clubs in an effort to bring them down. Ex Members and “friends” of Motorcycle Clubs offered Millions of Dollars if they can come up with charges against these Motorcycle Clubs!

Just as in any culture or society, there are going to be a few bad apples.The problem is the Government and the Media have conspired to paint everyone in the Biker World with the same brush. I’ll bet it takes you 5 seconds to think of a News Story, Movie, or Documentary that you’ve seen portraying Bikers negatively, but I bet you can’t think of one that shows us feeding the poor, protecting the children, or raising money for every disease known to man.

Watching Motorcycle Clubs slowly being taken down in such blatantly unjust ways is scaring the hell out of me. What makes me sad is at the same time these wolves are getting through the gate and destroying the MC world, Many Motorcycle Clubs continue to fight against each other! These fights are embellished and sensationalized on TV and in the press. They are then used by the Governments of the world as the fuel they need to continue to shut down all Motorcycle Club’s.

Motorcycle Clubs, much like the United States of America, were started with incredible Ideals. Both set down on paper what they were about and what they stood for. It is time for both Motorcycle Clubs and Americans to get back to their core beliefs. I believe with all my Heart that true Members of Motorcycle Clubs hold the ideals of Freedom and Brotherhood higher than any other group anywhere.

As I have said many times before I am no Hippie and I do not preach peace or love, I am a true Biker ! It is just that I have realized “Rome is burning” and only by working together can we hope to be able to stop the fire! Motorcycle Clubs are like people and not everyone will always get along, We are always going to have our differences.

What needs to happen now is for members of every Motorcycle Club in the World to look deep inside and ask themselves, “What is the most important thing to me?” If you truly believe in Motorcycle Club Brotherhood, and you have felt true Motorcycle Club Brotherhood, the answer will be simple. We as members of Motorcycle Clubs, need to set aside our differences and unite as one so that we may work together to save the Motorcycle Club world! We must fight against those who would take away everything we are and have us live as slaves.

Next time you hear that a Government or one of its agents has brought down another Brother or a Motorcycle Club you didn’t like, don’t celebrate, because the next time it will be you and your club. They won’t stop until we are all gone.

I am Your Bro, LJ James AmericanBikerX.com (Special Thanks to the staff of NY-Biker.com for their help on this article)

Boost your Business with a Blog

by Steve Blalock

Business blogs are an online marketing tool that saves you thousands of dollars, but provides great business opportunities in just one click. Blogs are a user-friendly, customized and flexible medium for disseminating useful information for effective positioning of your products.

Companies that take part in business blogging have a definite edge over their competitors. Here are some advantages: Word-of-Mouth. In a survey, there are currently 14 million blogs with 80,000 more being added each day and about 30 percent of the 50 million users are blog readers. Imagine how much gain your company could have if your products are advertised through blogs. With Internet, information spreads so quickly especially if an impressive write-up goes with your product. Soon your blogs will be passed on to hundreds of possible customers. Awareness and loyalty. Open communication with your customers creates trust and loyalty among them. Being there to respond to their questions and comments make them all the more willing to try your products and services. Feedback. Blogs are good for product research and reviews. It would be easier to improve on your products if you observe your customers thinking and behavioral patterns. Community halo-effect. Bloggers are reasonable, friendly and helpful. They are more than willing to create blogosphere of comments regarding your product. The only thing you have to do is embrace and take active part in the culture and your product will surely be considered in their next stop to the supermarket.

To achieve better marketing results, actively promote your business blogs by submitting your blogs to blog search sites and directories. Do not forget to paste in with your blogs, your URL. Be sure that your blogs contain exclusive information with value and are always updated to keep readers popping in, read up your blog, move on to the next and click on again for updates.

A business blog is like a setup booth in the biggest trade show on earth everyday. Marketing possibilities are just around the corner waiting to strike.

The Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds are important to have in conjunction with your blogs to get the best benefits. Use effective keyword phrases to generate high ranking status in the search engine traffic. In this way you have better chances of people finding your website leading to your blogs.

But if you opt for paid blog service, you can ask your artist to design and layout your blog site to match the companys identity and needs. 2. Choose a topic. Its good to have a line-up of topics you want for your blogs but be sure they are in consonance with your business objectives. This would be a test of your flexibility and open-mindedness since results may be going against the set objectives. 3. Remember the following safety measures in blogging: a. legal issues are sometimes involved in blogging; it is safer to include disclaimers and limitations of liabilities; b. corporate communication and legal department are responsible in educating the senior management on how blogs might affect business; c. create blogging policies; set limits on who gets to blog and what information are allowed to be made public; d. avoid outright marketing blog or you will shy away your readers; e. make content updated, relevant and fresh; f. reinforce the companys core values; and, g. encourage employees to use it. 4. Start blogging and complete 20 posts. 5. Begin marketing. 6. Regularly monitor the coming ins and outs of readers and get updates. Then, measure your results. 7. Adjust if needed. You can always play with your designs in the blog site as long as it remains to match the companys identity. 8. Strive to be consistent with your topic all the time. 9. Try to have unrelated topics with general and broad appeal. 10. Schedule updates every couple days.

Online Marketing - A boon for marketers

by Angela Giles

Online marketing offers several advantages to marketers compared to conventional approaches. Its main ability is to weave together disparate aspects of a campaign - design, development, advertising, branding and sales - into one beautiful tapestry.

Not only does it cost less to use the Internet, it is also possible to reach a wider global audience. The Internet allows an intimate touch with the customer, prospect or an indifferent person through its power of interactivity. It is possible to communicate to each customer which is quite tedious in the offline mode. The power of online marketing is reflected in the following activities.

Business Models: The Internet supports a variety of business models including the B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Consumer). Because of its direct reach to customers, companies can afford to offer their goods at lower prices, giving a good deal to the buyers. It is easier to generate leads for your business and advertising is also cheaper.

Targeting: The precision with which you can target people on the Internet is quite amazing. For example, you can design your campaign to display your ads to people in a certain age group, residing in a particular zip code, with a specific educational qualification and relationship status.

Measurement: Technology allows instant measurement of customer response. You can know instantly how many users have clicked on your banner, how many times your ad was displayed and what is the cost per click. This information allows the online marketer to tune his campaign in real-time.

Personalization of experience: Internet allows different people to experience their sites or products in different ways. For instance, you can select your country on the home page to display the company site in your country’s language. In addition, the richness in experience is increased with live chats, sound bytes and video files.

Business Foundation: The Internet has a life of its own. It is a rich soil for ideas to germinate. Today, you have an idea and tomorrow you can start your own business. The Internet offers the foundations for building an online business with templates, networks, communities of customers and many other options. You can virtually run a business from your home computer.

Integration: A number of campaigns complementing each other can be put into operation simultaneously. You can build static websites and announce the URL through various forums, combined with sending a direct response email right into the prospect’s inbox and place your banner on popular sites of interest to the consumer. You can even send an SMS to his mobile through an Internet site or through the wireless Bluetooth technology.

Whether it is a single customer or a large base of customers, you can effectively reach both in the best way possible using the Internet. I hope you will also take effective advantage of the Internet to build your brand or business.

How to Increase Sales Through Streaming Audio

by Steve Blalock

Many studies have proven that radio is a good medium for product advertisements. People listen to radio for entertainment, usually to listen to the latest music or to their favorite radio program. In between the program, advertisements on products and services are being played.

For some time, this has been the trend in advertising. But now that the radio medium is almost behind the audio-visual medium, the TV, and the Internet, other marketing strategies have to be employed to continue the benefits of advertising through audio.

That was when the benefits of using music on websites were discovered. Before, music on the Internet was just available in downloadable forms as mp3. Even through hosting downloadable music on their servers, companies were able to get much traffic on their sites. And everyone engaged in Internet marketing knows that website traffic plays a big role in boosting product and service sales.

However, there has been a problem with illegal music downloads in which artists, musicians and record companies have lost millions of revenues.

Then, came the popularity of Internet music streaming. Unlike mp3’s, radio streaming does not allow download of the music files. Thus, the copyrights of the artists and record label owners are protected.

So, how can this be done? There are several ways to stream audio from your site. The first way is to stream a radio program from your site or blog. You can find free affiliate programs that allow you to stream their radio content from your site.

What will this mean to you? This means your site will have new audio content every time it is visited. What’s even great is that the content is being updated even without much effort from you.

In this case, what you need to do is to signup with an Internet radio station and have the link embedded on your blog or website.

Another way is to stream mp3s. To do this, you just need to upload your mp3files on a server and add the files’ links to the page. When the link is clicked, the browser opens a media player window and plays a file. However, since the file is in mp3 format, it may also be downloaded. Downloading music files without the authorization of the copyright owner is illegal. If you will be using this type of streaming, make sure that you have the appropriate permit to do so.

A third way to add audio to your blog or website is to stream music through organizing playlists. Playlists are m3u files, which if downloaded, will not play music if offline. Using this process, however, can be complex. Here is a short instruction on how to do it.

1. Save your mp3 or wma file on the server. You may skip this step if you know that the file exists on another server and know the link to that file. Make sure that the link has a .mp3 or .wma extension.

2. Open your text editor and type the path to the file. Include the http:// and the file extension. Repeat this step until you have included all the links you would like to be included in the playlist.

3. Save the playlist with a .m3u extension.

4. Upload the m3u file on the directory where the music files are hosted or to your server.

5. Open your html editor and embed the link to the m3u file. Through this, you can also set if you want to have the playlist to autoplay if someone visits your site of if you want your visitor to control playing the music. You can also set the volume level.

After the code is embedded on the html file, and whenever your site is visited, the songs in the playlist will be buffered, streamed and played one after another. If your playlist has several songs, the user can skip forward or go back in the playlist using the media player controls.

Doing this setup works for many website owners. Through this you can customize the type of music being played on your site. You can even play recordings related to your product to boost product awareness.

It requires knowledge of html to be done. But if it will be the best way to increase traffic to your site, why not request assistance from programmers. After all, having audio on a website is a proven way to increase sales.

In pay per click, you can change your campaign after a few hours or within days to make it fit to what you need. With this flexibility, you can always adapt to changing markets and refine your campaign as to what is current.

Investing in good market research can help you find services that are inexpensive or those that are priced competitively.

Good market research can also help you in finding keyword niches that won’t require much investment. You can even find niches that cost only a dollar or less.

Indeed, pay per click has many good points that business owners and advertisers love. With its capabilities, it could be the best option for your business. What business owners love most about PPC is that, it has the capability of bringing traffic to your site at a lesser cost.

These are the reasons why you should love what pay per click marketing has to offer. Of course, it pays to balance these good points with some negative issues about PPC in order to get a more focused advertising tool for your online business.
