Hi Ed.I would like all the info you can provide on Barbie Diamond .You respond and defend Nouveau Tech alot here.
It's been stated that there is no actual Barbie Diamond.In other words,it's a fake,made up name.A flat out lie by Nouveau Tech.I won't pass judgement at this point.Set the record straight please.
I thought "Barbara Diamond" was possibly a made up(fake) marketing name. In the same vein as Aunt Jemima pancake mix,or maybe like Uncle Ben.Maybe Betty Crocker frosting,or even Mr. Whiffle the Charmin toilet paper man.
But then there are still rebuttals on Ripoff Report signed by Barbara Diamond. As if Barbara Diamond in Utah is a real person.
However, none of the internet search engines show any Barbara Diamond listed at any adress.Or the phone books.There seems to be no verifiable proof she exists.
Tell us about Barbie as a person.I want to know all about Barbie(Barbara).
What was her maiden name?Who's her Hubby?
What schools did she graduate from? What years that can be verifed.Was she on the swim team or a cheerleader or anything?Honor student or kicked out for smoking pot? Just wondering.
What's her personality like?Wild and crazy party girl or book worm type?
Can you post some pictures of her that can be verified?What's she look like,a hottie or a sleaze?
What does Barbie do in her leisure time away from Nouveau Tech?Hit the casino's there in Vegas,play minature golf,read the Bible,surf the net for porn,go to flea markets,or what?
Tell us all about Barbie please.
Ed,surely you don't want to be sticking up for a company that drums up business by telling lies do you?
Give us conclusive, verifiable, "proof", that Barbie Diamond is a real person and not a fake name.I'm just very curious and pass no judgement at this point.
By the way,on a personal note .
Don't you feel you have sunk to a new low?
By having to constantly defend a company with dozens of Ripoff Reports about it?
Over and over and over and over and over again?
Just curious.

After all the postings I've read so far, I can't help but scream at the utter ridicule of this whole concept, and its supporters. Real names or not.
Here are some facts you need to consider:
1) If you write a booklet, flyer, essay (or whatever fancies you) with this type of concept in, let's say, Colombia, Central America, you might as well have a pre-paid burial site because you will most likely get beheaded by either the religious fanatics or the government itself. "Exactly our point! Religion and Government", you'd probably say. But guess what? You DIDN'T write it in Colombia, you wrote it in the good 'ole U.S. of A. Where WE (The People), under God, believe in FREEDOM. Yes, Freedom! Freedoms of all shapes and sizes. Here, you can write whatever turns you on and you don't have to worry who likes it and who doesn't. Isn't that great? To speak your mind and keep on walking freely? Those that are interested in what you have to say will follow you. You can count on it.
2) Deception ~ A good 'ole characteristic of marketing strategists everywhere, probably in use since the begining of time as we know it. Wait, haven't all predators used this form of technique to atract or capture their prey? Well, you're right again! So does Organized Religion and Government alike. Yes, I must agree with you on that one (forcefully, though). However, isn't that the whole chemistry behind the marketing strategy utilized by Nu-Tech in the direct mail campaign? Absolutely! I do direct mail advertising for a living. I know what it takes to make the sale and I also know where it comes from and how to get around the laws that govern in every state regarding false statements or "misleading" information.
Not sure if it's legal? No problem. Just hire a good 'ole American attorney to review what you claim or sell and he/she will tell you what to change or correct or rephrase or whatever and you're in business! Again, just another GREAT freedom you can exercise in the U.S. of A. "Legal Deception for a Fee" is what it should be called. Go ahead and tell me that it isn't true. I expected since I really don't know what I'm talking about either. The same goes for the "chain letter" marketing strategy. All those letters are written by freelancers who are given a topic with specific "points that must be mentioned" and when it's all done, the best sounding most believable letters are picked for the campaign. I'm wrong again, right? Dream on...
3) Profits ~ OK. This is a tricky one that I'm hoping you'll clear for me. According to some of the rebuttals, whether from "Barbie, Al, Ed, Moe, Larry or Curly), the point is "to spread the word of wisdom" to all of us brainwashed, scrutinized, opressed and lost antisocials. Yes, that's right. Antisocials, I said. I believe it was Barbie-Al bin Laden that called us an 'antisociety' in her/his speech. Was it not? Anywho, us antisocials need guidance, so the Nu-Tech has taken upon themselves to open our eyes so that we can see the "real truth of the universe" and how it is affecting us in every aspect of our daily existence. Yes, No, Maybe So?
Whatever. The point is that you're spreading your 'vision' and that's what the whole goal is behind the The Nu-Tech Society. Got it.
So, why is it then so expensive? If the whole concept behind your campaign is to get as many people to see the truth as possible, why do you make it so hard to reach for the average Joe? Hey dude. I'm speaking from experience here, ok? Just like the rest of us antisocials, I was one of the lost souls that almost ordered your doctrines. Guess what, though? I couldn't budge at the time. You dig? I'm ultimately glad I didn't make the extra effort, but that doesn't matter now. You see, Lars of Locksley (from England wasn't it? Who cares.) wrote that he was pretty much at the end of his rope, every-wise, yet he mustered the $150+ investment to save his own life and that of his "loved" ones. I was actually flabbergasted that someone had finally used the word 'love' in any of your replies. After all, it's all about the advancement of "Business, Science and Art".
Sorry, I'm slowly getting away from the point.
Anyway, getting back on track, why is it so expensive? You see, as a marketing professional, I'm also VERY well educated in printing since 3 years of my 18 year career I spent at a major printing plant. The paper you use for your letters, booklets or anything else is periodicals stock (or as we lettershop monkeys call it: toilet tissue). In essence, it is by far the cheapest paper money can buy. Envelopes? Another cheap investment. Especially if you buy them in the millions, as claimed by bin Laden, I mean, Barbie-Al. Furthermore, from the looks of everything I received, you are using a budget shop. I know just from the quality of the final product. Again, I expect you to tell me I'm wrong 'cuz I'm just another infantile hypocrite trying to hide behind excuses instead of facing reality.
So, now you're just left with postage. Yes, postage IS expensive. Especially presorted First-Class mail. You could have saved a lot of money by going Standard mail but of course, any good marketing guru knows that First Class gets the almost-guaranteed opening of the envelope. Or at least longer attention opposed to Standard mail, which ends up 97% in the garbage. But then again, since your campaign is well planned, and the list of prospects is strategically picked from multi-crateria databases that targets the buying audience, why chince on the postage? All that work just to end up in the garbage? No way Jose! We'll just charge more for the newspaper and get most of our money back that way. After all, it only costs $1.50 to make and our return investment is terrific! Dude, I want what you're smoking. Seriously.
4) Back to Lars. I just can't help it. I did mention that he's the only one using the word love anywhere on your defenses. Is love another taboo of the society or am I misunderstanding something? Maybe it is my idiotic, antisocial and manipulated brain that doesn't see it. But I just don't think so. A society based on business, science and art. Yet, love is not a priority. Even the most mentally unevolved creature can feel love. It is as essential to life as water (H2O) and oxygen (O). No Love = Chaos. Period.
You see, just like you preach to be, I am also not religious. I do not follow religion but it's NOT because I do not believe in "God" or "Jesus", because I do. I just do not believe in organized "feelings". I DO believe in a God. I just don't see things in the same way the church tells me to. Or like the Bible even. That's another book that's just as debatable as yours is. But let's not go into belief-bashing right now 'cuz that's not the goal here.
What I call God is not just some invisible being sitting on a golden throne above the clouds. As pretty as it sounds it is not how I feel about God. Just like me, it is different for everyone what God means to them. In any case, the beauty of it all is that no matter who you ask about their 'God', the answers will all intermingle together with one huge point in common. It is what most of us call this incomprehensible and magnificent force that surrounds us, yet we can't see it, but can't ignore it exists. If you even argue that point, then I'm convinced you're absolutely drinkin' peyote now.
You see, any type of religion, cult or faith that is "organized", can't help the establishing of rules, all of which are designed for it's fellow members. Now, check out that word again.
MEMBER. (Webster ? noun) A person, animal, plant, group, etc., that is part of a SOCIETY, party, community, taxon, or other body.
i.e. - Member of a congregation, member of a cult, member of a clan/gang/team, a member of Congress, etc.
Get my drift? Members following strategic rules from a leader, or leaders, for the mutual benefit of the 'cause'. It's easy to herd sheep when you're a terrific shepherd. Look at what happened in Waco! You point out disregarding the entire concept of God because you know the word itself will always remind people of organized religion. Yes, it is inflicted into most of us since birth. And Thank God it is! Maybe you wish to ignore it (although I think it's more of a marketing scheme to create controversion) but this country came to be what it is today because the people that came here believed in something. A better life, with true freedom from government and church but boy did they have one thing in common all them people... Give up? That's right. God!
I can't deny the fact that religion and government both have been directly responsible for the massacre of millions of innocent people throughout history. However, would you be exercising your God-given talent, with the freedom you do, if it wasn't for these horrible people that came before you? And if you were, would it be in English as your native language? Think again, Mussolini.
I feel the same way about the government. Another organization that takes people's feelings and twists them to gain power over the same. However, without government there would also be chaos. Somebody has to keep all those antisocials under check, don't you think? But at the same time, i forgot The Nu-Tech Society could eliminate all forms of government if we just follow the simple mental-unblocking techniques presented to us in your teachings. I'm just exhausted, bro.
I'll tell YOU a little secret before I dispatch to Hell. These reports are not hurting you any and you damn well know it. As a matter of fact, this is exactly the kind of publicity you seek. The more people argue over the subject and the more commotion you draw to yourself (especially FREE of charge) the more popular the subject becomes and the more interest you will gain from all those seeking to find out what exactly are you teaching in your literature. This is the best marketing you can possibly get and works way better than any bulk letter you could ever write. Very wise of you to make a rebuttal. I definitely underestimated you, bin Al-Bie.
Totally slick, indeed. You deserve a herd.
Best of luck in your new Matrix Society.
I'll see you next time I need to phone home...
