THE INDO-CHINESEWAR OF 1962: INDIA'S GREATEST SHAME

Why Mao Attacked India in 1962 

At the beginning of 1962, as tension was increasing on the Indian border, did Nehru realise that China was a starving nation? Very few knew that, by the end of 1961 Mao was practically out of power.

There is an angle of the 1962 Sino-Indian that conflict has been insufficiently studied. What were Beijing’s motivations to go to war? Who decided to inflict the worst possible humiliation on India?

Historical sources are still sparse, but going through some available documents, one can get a fairly good idea of the Chinese motivations or more exactly the ‘political’ compulsions which pushed the Great Helmsman into this venture.

Mao Temporarily Leaves the Stage

It is fashionable to speak of crimes against humanity. One of the greatest, known as the ‘Great Leap Forward’, began in China in February 1958 and resulted in the largest man-made starvation period in human history. By initiating his Leap Forward, Mao Zedong’s objective was to surpass Great Britain in industrial production within 15 years. For the purpose, every Chinese had to start producing steel at home, with a backyard furnace. In agriculture, Mao thought that very large communes would achieve manifold increase in the cereal production, turning China into a heaven of abundance. Introduced and managed with frantic fanaticism, it was not long before the program collapsed.

One man tried to raise his voice against the general madness and sycophancy. This was Peng Denhai, the Defence Minister and old companion of Mao during the Long March. Marshal Peng, who was a simple, honest and straightforward soldier, wrote a long personal letter to Mao on what he had seen in the countryside and the misery of the people. Mao immediately ‘purged’ old Peng; the Great Leap Forward however continued till 1961/1962. Today it is estimated that between 40 and 50 million people died of hunger in China during these three years.

Dr Zhisui Li, Mao’s personal physician recounts how in 1961 Mao was: “…depressed over the agricultural crisis and angry with the party elite, upon whom he was less able now to work his will, Mao was in temporary eclipse, spending most of his time in bed.”

At the beginning of the fateful year 1962, Mao’s situation had not improved. Dr Li noted: “1962 was a political turning point for Mao. In January, when he convened another expanded Central Committee work conference to discuss the continuing disaster, his support within the party was at its lowest.”

During the Conference, known as the 7,000 Cadres’ Conference, Lui Shaoqi declared: “…man-made disasters strike the whole country.” He was targeting Mao. After a month, as the meeting could not conclude, Mao decided that it was enough: he would temporarily ‘retire’.

The conflict with India is closely linked to his comeback.

The Three Reconciliations and One Reduction

In the early 1960’s, Wang Jiaxiang was still one of the senior-most leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Two decades earlier, he had attended Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, a Soviet institution which trained young revolutionary leaders. After the founding of the PRC in 1949, Wang was appointed first as the People’s Republic of China’s Ambassador to Soviet Union, and then returned to Beijing to work in the Foreign Ministry.

Wang’s grand idea was to reconstruct China. For this, it was necessary for the People’s Republic to have a ‘softer’ foreign policy line towards the United States, the Soviet Union, and India. Wang also thought that China should spend less on ‘foreign aid’, at a time China itself was going through such difficult times. Wang believed that peaceful coexistence needed to be stressed.

His theory became known as the ‘Three Reconciliations and the One Reduction’. The three reconciliations were with the US, the Soviet Union and India and the reduction referred to unnecessary foreign expenditures.
 
Wang Jiaxiang spoke with President Liu Shaoqi who apparently agreed with him. On 27 February 1962, Wang put his thoughts in a letter to Zhou Enlai and other senior leaders. The letter was not sent to Mao who had ‘withdrawn’ after the Seven Thousand Cadres’ Conference.

Wang’s policies however became visible at the World Peace Congress held in Moscow from 9 to 14 July; according to the US scholar MacFarquhar in his Origin of the Cultural Revolution1: “[China and Soviet Union] acted with restraint. Though both sides maintained their positions some agreements were reached.”


Regarding India, the same scholar explained: “Wang Jiaxiang seemed to be seeking at least a partial revival of the ‘Bandung line’ of the mid-1950s, according to which non-communist independent nations of the Third World were regarded as allies in the overarching struggle against imperialism.

In his argument with Khrushchev, Mao had rejected the possibility of ‘peaceful transition’ from bourgeois regimes like Nehru’s India to proletarian dictatorship and insisted that they would have to be overthrown by revolution.

On June 3, The People’s Daily published a rather moderate editorial on Sino-Indian relations; it was one more sign of the softer line in Beijing’s foreign policy.

This policy unfortunately did not last long, mainly due to the internal power struggle and the return of the Great Helmsman, as we shall see. However, it seems obvious that the Sino-Indian conflict would have not degenerated the way it did, if Wang Jiaxiang’s policies had been followed.

Armed Coexistence, Jigsaw Pattern

The policy of the Chinese government in the initial months of 1962 followed the motto Armed Coexistence, Jigsaw Pattern. Practically, it meant that while both Armies were building their positions in the Western and Eastern sectors, the governments of China and India continued to ‘coexist’, exchanging voluminous correspondence, sometimes bitter, sometimes more conciliatory. ..

INDIA INTOLERANT OF MUSLIMS? RUBBISH

    EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST ARE MOST   

INTOLERANT OF INDIAN MUSLIMS

Amidst a fake atmosphere of Intolerance of Muslims being created in India in the last one month, I must pen my own version of what I, a Muslim lady, living and working in India feel like. This has been due from me since sometime. Now, I feel the water has gone above the head and I too need to share my views. So, here it is.

I am a Muslim lady, a practicing dermatologist by profession and I run my

own high- end laser skin clinic, in Bangalore. I was brought up in Kuwait

and at the age of 18, came to India to pursue medical education. I decided

to stay back in India while almost all my friends left India for greener

pastures. Not even once did I consider that being a Muslim could create a

problem for me, as my sense of nationalism held me back to my roots and so

here I am, serving my country since the last 20 years.

I studied in Manipal, Karnataka. I lived alone like all students do. While I

was in college, all my professors were Hindus and almost all the people who

I would interact with were Hindus as well. There is not a single incident

when anyone showed partiality towards me based on my gender or religion.

Every single one of them was kind and in fact sometimes, I felt as though

they made an extra effort to make feel like I was one of them. I am ever so

grateful to all of them for making my life in Manipal as comfortable as it

could get.

After leaving Manipal, I relocated to Bangalore with my husband. By then I

had been married and so we decided to make our life in Bangalore. There is a

reason, why we chose Bangalore and here is where I will talk about my

husband. He is a Muslim too, with a very typical first name, Iqbal. He is an

aerospace engineer with MTech from IIT-Chennai and PhD from Germany. His

profession takes him to the most highly secured organizations of India, like

DRDO, NAL, HAL, GTRE, ISRO, IISc, BHEL; you name it and be assured that he

has visited all of them without any hassles. Not even once he has been

stripped off or asked for special security clearance or any such bias has

been shown towards him. And NO, things have not changed even after Modi govt came into power. 

Things are in fact more disciplined and streamlined even at government organizations, from what I hear from my husband. As a matter of fact, Iqbal has been completely stripped each time he traveled to US and was

under secret surveillance while he was doing his PhD in Germany, after the

9/11 attacks on US. We literally received a letter from the German

government that he has been cleared and is not anymore under suspicion. Talk

about Muslim paranoia! Its very understandable too due to the current

situations in the world. My husband is highly respected and loved by the

people he works with, and all of them happen to be Hindus. None of this has

changed even in recent times, so Intolerance is just a word for us on a

practical basis.

I opened my clinic last year, just before Modi govt came into power. I am a

law-abiding citizen and I file my taxes like service tax on a monthly basis.

I have never indulged in any activities, which could put me into any kind of

trouble. I am comfortably running my clinic, which is doing very well,

thanks to all my patients and clients, who all happen to be Hindus. A

handful of my patients are from other communities. My entire staff is Hindu,

and believe me when I say that they take better care of my clinic than I

could any day! I interact with bankers, government officers and with so many

people on a daily basis. Not even once in the last 20 years, did I have the

need to even think of leaving India! My entire family lives abroad and all

that I need to do is just decide that I don’t want to stay here. I have open

offers of opening clinic in Kuwait, which would fetch me huge amount of

revenue and yet why should I stay in India, if I am not happy and if I am

facing any kind of bias?

In Kuwait, we are considered as NOBODY. Yes, despite being in Kuwait for the

last 40 years or so, my family is still considered as expatriates, with no

rights. We need to renew our resident permit periodically and the laws there

constantly keep changing, making the life of expatriates only harder. We

have to strictly comply with their rules and laws, which is fine but we are

openly discriminated. They consider Asians as third grade people, while

giving preference to their citizens, Arabs and Whites. We are not unhappy

there but we have no sense of belonging either. At least, I never had and

never have even when I visit Kuwait now. We are Muslims in a Muslim country,

and yet we are considered as Indians with no special regards. 

I figured long ago, that India is the only country, where I will have a sense of

belonging. You are an Indian-American in US, Indian-Canadian in Canada,

Indian-British in UK and so on but only in India you are an Indian. Period.

Rest can say whatever they want and defend their choices but this is a fact.

You can only feel at home, in your own home. I have lived in different

places and everywhere I stand out but in India. Nobody in India asks me,

 ‘Are you an Indian?’, and this is what makes all the difference.

So, what are these celebrities ranting about? An ordinary citizen like my

husband and I are not facing any such issues, then what have they faced? Why is Amir Khan’s wife, Kiran Rao feeling so afraid? They are prominent people,living in posh localities, their children study in the best of schools and

they have personal security escorting them at all times. 

I travel alone everyday and yet don’t feel afraid. I want to know as a responsible citizen, from Amir Khan and Shahrukh Khan as well, why did they make such irresponsible statements and spoil the image of the 13 crores of Muslims in India? Who the hell are they to make public statements based on their personal perception? Who gave them the liberty to tarnish the image of my country on an International level, that Muslims are not safe in India? How

dare Pakistan invites them to stay in Pakistan? I feel hurt when I read the

statements of my Hindu friends on Muslims. I feel afraid that they are being

pushed to the limit and the tolerance and acceptance that I have enjoyed all

these years, might just vanish! I feel afraid that my own people might shun

me and I may get alienated in my own country, because of a handful of

ungrateful bunch of fools! How long can I expect majority of Hindus to

tolerate this nuisance? It’s high time that Muslims understand the value of

the freedom and acceptance that we enjoy in India and if not, I pray that my

Hindu fellow citizens continue to keep their patience.

Why India Doesn’t Need The Sanitary Napkin Revolution

DELIBERATE DISTORTION OF FACTS TO PORTRAY
INDIA AS A HELLHOLE FOR RURAL WOMEN

Foreign organizations are promoting the need to introduce sanitary napkins in India by saying that 88 percent of Indian women are using cloth. But in their own country they are promoting reusable cloth pads and menstrual cups, citing environmental reasons.

Open any write-up on menstruation in India, and you will find horror stories of how only 12% of Indian women are using Sanitary Napkins and that the others are almost dying from lack of access to such products. You will read about the poor Indian girl in a village who is dropping out of school because she suddenly started her period. And you will read about how India is full of superstitions and menstrual taboos that are coming in the way of us breaking free and embracing our body….and Sanitary Napkins. Yes, these are horror stories; because most of what is written about India and menstruation is not true. And it is on the basis of this false information, that decisions are being made for India.

Interaction with huge masses of women and girls across rural India reveals a disconnect between the reality of the situation and what is projected in the media, by developmental organizations and even by international organizations such as UNICEF and UK’s Water Aid and WASH.

I initially thought, rather naively, that it must be their lack of understanding of the ground reality. Recently, I had the unfortunate privilege to find out why such organizations talk of India as they do. I was invited as one of the key speakers at . It was during the course of the International Conference on Menstrual Health and Reproductive Justice, held in Boston in June 2015, that I discovered what is really going on and the intentions of those who decide for India.

Celebration of Menstrual Hygiene Day in Amra Padatik, India

As I presented the contradictions that exist between the reality in India and what is spoken of, I was welcomed with applause by the audience of feminists and researchers, and avoided by the representatives from organizations who have built their identity (and finances) out of portraying India in poor light. One of the representatives of the large organizations asked me to “modulate” what I speak so that I can build allies! But before I go into that, let me explain the glaring gaps in the menstrual hygiene management initiatives.

Cooking up statistics to create a false need

The most often quoted statistic, is of a study done by A.C Nielson and Plan India, which states “Only 12 percent of India’s 355 million menstruating women use sanitary napkins (Sns). Over 88 percent of women resort to shocking alternatives like unsanitised cloth, ashes and husk sand.” Here is why this study and others like it are incorrect in representing Indian women:

• The lesser known fact about this study is that it only interviewed 1033 women, i.e. < 0.00029 percent of India’s menstruating women! How this sample size is representative of a country as diverse as India is really questionable.

• Even if 88 percent of women might be using cloth, it is absolutely incorrect to club the usage of sand, ash husk in the same percentage bracket. The usage of sand, ash husk or dried leaves for menstrual absorption happen in extreme conditions (less than 01percent), such as in Rajasthan where some women have been using fine sand for ages since water is scarce. In these cases, we need to further investigate if indeed such usage has been detrimental to their health, since such practices have prevailed for hundreds of years. Obviously if such practices were harmful, people would have let it go a long time ago

• On what basis are they calling the cloth ‘unsanitized’? Are the cloth pads being sold by foreign NGOs sanitized? In fact, if we look at the stitched cloth being sold by NGOs, it is more difficult to dry and sanitize it in sunlight because the inner layers are never exposed to sunlight; whereas the loose cloth used by rural Indian women can be opened and dried with complete exposure to sunlight. It is foolish to take a traditional practice such as using cloth, and package it to give it the look of a modern pad, and in the process missing out on the point of maintaining hygiene using cloth!

Pads for India, Reusables for the West

The hypocrisy is such that while foreign organizations are promoting the need to introduce sanitary napkins in India by saying that 88% of Indian women are using cloth, in their own country they are promoting reusable cloth pads and menstrual cups, citing environmental reasons. If that is the case, then India is far ahead of the rest of the world in being environment friendly.

In the light of the latest wave of western feminism, movements (such as the Free Blood Movement) which promote women’s right to bleed without using any product are being applauded and encouraged. At the same time, international organizations look down upon indigenous women who for generations have bled naturally without using any product.

But what took the cake was when, at the conference, an excited American activist told me that I should tie up with one of these cloth-pad making NGOs (which I’d rather not name) to start distributing cloth pads to rural Indian women because it is environment friendly and a safer alternative to sanitary napkins! Imagine the drama of telling our rural women to throw away their piece of menstrual cloth and instead use my packaged version of it, which by the way will also cost them. Imagine teaching her about being environment friendly as a new concept, when all along she has not used a single bit of environmentally damaging menstrual product. Imagine trying to educate her about cloth being healthy, when she and all generations before her have been quietly following natural methods of managing menstruation.

This ridiculous suggestion made me both laugh and seethe with anger.

Are the boys also dropping out due to menstruation, then?

I had the unfortunate opportunity to make my 5 minute presentation at the conference, just after the UNICEF representative, who of course spoke of bringing girls back to school thanks to the toilets they are building and so on. UNICEF’s intervention in Indian schools has been about building toilets, providing Sanitary Napkins and Incinerators, in the name of bringing the girl child back to school.

For the record, let me be clear – I think functional toilets are a necessity in any environment. But the link between the absence of sanitary napkins to menstrual hygiene and therefore school drop-outs is really like a poorly written movie script. Why would a girl stop going to school because she doesn’t use a Sanitary Pad? And if school dropouts are due to menstruation, then what about the boys? In most States of India, we have more boys dropping out of school than girls (according to the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan survey of 2007). So are we going to distribute Sanitary Napkins to boys then?

Yes, sometimes girls take a few days off when they get their period. And so do we adults, if we could afford it. Taking a few days off due to menstrual pain and discomfort is not the same as dropping out of school. Increasingly, doctors recommend that menstruating girls and women honor their period and take the needed rest to avoid menstrual problems. Movements such as the Red Tent movement are built around the idea of getting women to honor their period and take time off.

Modern reusable cloth pads in differing sizes

If and when girls do drop out, the reasons have to do with parents fearing teenage pregnancy, or requiring another hand at home to work. And let’s not forget the really out-dated education system in government schools which does nothing to retain the interest of anyone with the tiniest capacity to think. So no matter how many toilets you build or Sanitary Napkins you distribute, it will not address the problem of bringing the dropouts (boys or girls) back to school.

After I spoke of this disconnect, the UNICEF representative diplomatically clarified, albeit a little later, that they don’t really build toilets to reduce dropouts due to menstruation. And that, it is just a way of bringing children to school in general.

Perhaps, UNICEF would also want to make that correction in all their material on menstruation in India.

Menstrual huts are patriarchal, while Red Tents honor womanhood

Water Aid’s project WASH had put up a “World Taboo Map” at the conference. The idea was to list all menstrual taboos across the world. The Menstrual Hygiene day, an initiative of WASH focused on breaking the taboos such as menstrual seclusion. Menstrual practices are often spoken of as the result of a patriarchal society in India which is deliberately attempting to suppress women. However, our interactions with women of the Golla Community in Karnataka, revealed that women chose these practices inspite of men telling them that they have a choice. (Link to our work with Gollas – Voice of the Gollas)

The glaring contradiction at the same conference was the screening of a film on the new concept of Red Tents, which was applauded and embraced. What is a Red Tent? It is a movement which raises up a Red Tent in local villages, cities and towns (in U.S) to honor blood cycles and womanhood journeys. Here are women from the U.S choosing to take time off during their period and stay in exclusive Red Tents, rather than at home!

So, how different is the Red Tent from the age old practice of seclusion through menstrual huts practiced in rural India? Mind you, even the Bible avers that a menstruating woman is temporarily not clean!

The traditional practices of menstrual seclusion came into being to address practical issues of maintaining hygiene and having privacy and comfort during menstruation, since indigenous women lived in small homes with large joint families. Whereas, the Red Tent and similar new movements have evolved from a somewhat pretentious attempt to honor one’s period. I call it pretentious because there was no sense in why the American women in Red Tents wear Bindis and dance around with Duppattas to native music, trying to imitate practices of ancient societies like India and Africa! (Click here to view the Trailer of the Red Tent)

The manufactured need

Most movements begin with a need. Either a real need or a manufactured one. In the case of the newly emerging space of menstrual hygiene management, the need is a manufactured one; specifically, for sanitary product manufacturing companies to enter the untapped market of India, especially rural India.

Organizations working on menstruation and even Sanitary Napkin companies (Whisper’s ‘Don’t touch the pickle’ ad) have started talking about cultural practices around menstruation by demeaning them as Menstrual Taboos. These institutions, in their attempt to create a market for sanitary products and infrastructure in India, have chosen the path of dismissing all cultural practices around menstruation as regressive taboos, and emphasising that Sanitary Napkins are the progressive expression of the modern woman. Happily joining hands with such organizations are the sold out Indian NGOs, who have made menstruation their means of sustenance.

One can, at best, express their views or disagreement of their own personal belief system. Imposing upon another’s belief system and forcing women to “break the taboo” is unnecessary social engineering. The intent behind such intervention is to uproot the very foundation upon which Indian women have been menstrually independent, by ridiculing traditional practices around menstruation.

India does not need the Sanitary Napkin revolution.

What we do need is a simple solution of providing information in schools and communities on maintaining menstrual hygiene, be it with cloth or pads. And leave it to women to decide what they wish to use.

There is something wrong about everyone deciding for the rural Indian woman, except for herself.

THE LAZY MARKETEER

The headline below is 100% factual. You'll see why in a few moments:

“Here's The Simplest Possible Way to Generate $100,000+ As An Affiliate Marketer...”
                                                                                             Chris Rempel

I've often been asked what the "number one" strategy is for generating a full-time income without ANY guesswork or risk...

My gut response is usually something like "Well, affiliate marketing is easy once you get the hang of it, but there's definitely a learning curve".

And while this is true - I actually have been keeping my mouth shut about a certain strategy that basically defies traditional logic.

In fact - the strategy I'm about to reveal to you is so incredibly powerful by its own design - and the simplicity of how it works - that the only way you wouldn't see substantial commissions from doing this is if you simply DIDN"T do it.

I call it the Conduit Method.

With this strategy, I'm able to produce one site after the next that generates remarkably high revenues for very little overall traffic. In cases where I've "compared notes" with other competing affiliates in the niche, I can always tell when I've struck a nerve.

-------------------------------------------------------

In some cases with this strategy, the sites that generate what most would consider a full-time income get just 70 visitors a day or less

-------------------------------------------------------

Other affiliates are driving way more traffic than I am - but they only earn a fraction of what I make with my "Conduit" sites. It baffles them.

I also have an edge when it comes to creating content and converting visitors to sales. With this strategy, I can create literally hundreds of pages with unique content with zero 'thinking' or research involved - and this includes very technical niches where I don't know a damn thing about the products, the "lingo" or the subject matter in general.

For example, I have a "conduit" site that's just over 2 months old (still a PR 0) and it's already earned $5,061.84 in commissions - all from free, easy traffic. (4,151 visitors to be exact, at the time of writing this.)

What Am I Doing?

The Conduit Method is the only form of affiliate marketing where the affiliate is actually leveraging the efforts of the merchant(s) that they promote - as well as that merchant's other affiliates, their ad spend, and their overall promotional effort.

Normally it's the merchant who leverages the affiliate's efforts. But not with this...

I've occasionally alluded to small parts of this method in places like my blog, in "Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate" and in some newsletters. But I've never revealed the actual, behind-the-scenes strategy that makes this work so well.

Now, before I go further - many people reading this probably think they know what the "conduit strategy" is already. (Reviewing existing products and targeting product-centric keywords in the search engines).

If that's what you're thinking - you only have a small piece of the puzzle.

Because it's the "other half" of this strategy that makes it so effective...

» Such as my formula for creating unlimited amounts of compelling, unique content with literally zero effort - even if I know nothing about the subject matter... » Or how I ethically "swipe" _________ and put add them to my site - which is HOW I get incredible conversions without "selling" anything...

And I have never shared this information before. Anywhere. Ever.

Until today:

The Conduit Method = The Easiest, Simplest & Most Effective Affiliate Strategy That Exists, Period

Here's Why: • You're riding the merchant's tailcoat and getting the most valuable traffic in the market - freely and easily... • Conversions are remarkably high because you're only targeting visitors who are literally on the verge of buying something • You can easily create hundreds of pages of unique content with ZERO "thinking", effort or research. You're simply assembling facts in a certain way and duplicating the formula over and over... • You can instantly & automatically become seen as an authority in the niche - even if you literally know nothing about the subject matter. The conduit strategy literally (and ethically) "swipes" other people's insights and uses them for your advantage. Note: Absolutely nobody in "internet marketing" has a clue about this "swipe" strategy, and it works like crazy... • It takes very little traffic to see incredible results. Some of my sites that earn a full time income get less than 70 visitors a day! • Most "product review" sites have to try and "sell" the visitor. With the conduit method, you don't do ANY selling - at all. The simplicity and effectiveness of how this really works will make your head spin... • Traffic is not only valuable - it's also very easy to get with your conduit sites. Most of my sites start getting a steady stream of Google traffic in less than 2 weeks. (One even made about $700 inside of the initial "2 week" period!) • The Conduit Strategy is completely brainless and scalable. If you can create the simplest of websites - you can do this. You can literally go into any niche, whip up a "conduit site" and within weeks start seeing commissions hitting your inbox like clockwork. • Your very best bet for generating your first $100,000+ as an affiliate. This strategy is, without a doubt, the easiest and most reliable way to generate a full-time income from very little overall traffic (and in comparison to "normal" affiliate marketing or PPC) And combined with opt in list-building (optional, but recommended where applicable), the conduit method is truly the ONLY affiliate strategy I'd recommend spending time on... And there's more - but the point is that this the only strategy I know of that is methodical, easy - AND - substantially profitable. Usually "methodical" stuff (like BUM marketing) is largely a waste of time. The Conduit Strategy is a bona fide, legitimate short-cut that stacks all the cards in your favor... ...with the least amount of effort or time vested.

Be honest with yourself and accurately answer this question:

Are Your Efforts Really Paying Off?

For most people, the answer is "no".

A few people are making full-time incomes (and beyond) from affiliate marketing, but the vast majority are not. Most affiliates, actually, earn less than their monthly utility bills from their efforts.

Sometimes this is because they aren't trying hard enough, but not always. In fact, the most common theme I've come to see with my own customers and other would-be full time marketers is that they're simply doing the WRONG STUFF.

They're not focusing on things that have inevitable payoffs by their own design.

Instead, they "get traffic" and somehow try to monetize it. And maybe they do monetize it, to some extent, but the actual revenues hardly justify the amount of blood, sweat and tears that went into creating so much content, building links, testing PPC ads, etc.

(Meanwhile it's the merchants who are laughing up their sleeves, being as the compounded effort of an army of "medicore" affiliates is making them rich - not you)

It's time to turn the tables and start leveraging them, for a change.

It's time to start doing things that WORK.

Because...

Success Isn't About "Working Hard". It's About Doing Stuff That Works...

Regardless of what you want to believe - that's the truth.

Following your passion and "giving it your best shot" are wonderful sentiments.

The reality is that those approaches will ONLY succeed when they're based on something that the marketplace is already doing. The same applies to setting goals, being diligent, working hard, etc.

Those are good values to have - but the key to getting rich is simply tapping into existing revenue streams and taking advantage of the inevitable.

And that, in a nutshell, IS the Conduit Strategy.

You simply become the "conduit" (or gateway) for the inevitable - which in this case is sales. And commissions.

This isn't as complicated or "hard" as you might think. But there's a right way and a wrong way to do this...

I'm Giving You A Real-Life Treasure Map

When you get a copy of The Conduit Method Blueprint, you are literally getting a "treasure map".

The blueprint itself is by no means a novel or a literary achievement. It's 11 pages long and I spent about 30 seconds editing grammar, spelling, etc.

BUT - the process it describes is one that I've perfected over months of practice and measuring results. Not only is this the easiest way to make real money as an affiliate - this is quite possibly the most "risk-free" activity online that generates such a substantial return.

And - it's not "dummy marketing" like using articles, Squidoo or other sites (that you don't own) to try and scratch by until your article falls off the search results.

Your conduit sites will keep on getting traffic for years.

My average conduit site generates anywhere from 1 to 4 sales per day (and some of the commissions are in the $70+ range in certain markets). So let's round it out and say that I'm getting about 2 sales (daily) per site - and that's with sites that have very little overall content, an average of 20 pages per site.

At this rate (2 sales/day) at even a very conservative $20 per commission for the sake of "lowballing" this estimate - then even if you were to create only THREE simple "conduit sites", which usually take about a day to build and another few days to promote (if you're not outsourcing)...

-------------------------------------------------------

You'd already be making $3600 (avg) per month in this scenario from very little actual effort or time

-------------------------------------------------------

And that's for products that only pay out $20 per sale. The Conduit Method works for practically any kind of product, service or other vendor that offers a lucrative commission.

What if you used the conduit method to promote residual programs that generate monthly recurring commissions?

What if you promoted expensive software products that pay out $100 or well beyond that per sale?

And so on...

The options are endless - and so is the potential.

And now for the best part...

Would You Rather Have a Burrito - Or a Reliable, Ever-Growing Full-Time Income From Affiliate Marketing?

I could charge way more, but I sort of enjoy impressing the hell out of people when they buy something that's "cheap".

That's why the comprehensive Conduit Method Blueprint is only:
