Yet again we are dealing with rumors that people assume are facts.....
Well since we all seems to be swayed by rumors, guess we are all guilty of losing faith in what Bob Maheu said…
“This is a time for the CMKM stockholders to look forward towards the future and forget the past. Working as a united front will allow us to extract all available sources of value for distribution."
Its difficult to forget the past, when the actions of the past are constantly being revisited in the here and now and by that I mean a failure by those who know the truth to communicate.
We know that the board is read by those associated with the company; we’ve seen evidence of that. Yet even after so many have pleaded, begged and venting, nothing we do seems to motivate those in charge with a desire to share their thoughts with us, the loyal shareholders, regarding any CMKX activities.
This is why rumors are so prevalent on the boards and readily accepted as fact, because we all need some hope that what we are involved in, isn’t about to blow up in our faces and make us look like 35,000 plus very gullible and naive people.
The subtle, smooth approach being taken by those manipulating the board environment is slick, to say the least. It’s not that they are so charismatic, rather it’s simply they are more of the average Joe, who has good news, which they present with an “ah shucks every man” approach, sprinkled with valid sounding comments from some establishment figure who is “in the know,” that we can accept.
Amazingly, the rapport building skills used by these people wasn't even that slick, so we can only conclude that our failure to sort out the BS from the get go, was directly due to a lack of news from the company, which laid the foundation for conditioning of the shareholders which these nimrods were able to exploit.
Hope and trust in the company seems to be the culprit, in that those who have hyped the CMKX event lately are doing so by creating excitement in what we all desire, and by that means, they are able to and we have allowed them, to further manipulate us as a collective. “When conditions are uncertain, charismatic individuals can work their charm.”
Why are they successful? Well I outline some of the more obvious reasons above, but mainly these people, or those who handle them, are really very charismatic people, with a remarkable ability to distill complex ideas into simple messages; which they can communicate to others by using symbols, analogies, metaphors and stories that anyone can understand.
There appear to be stages in the development and eventual control exerted by these people over an individual person or a group.
They or those who handle them, can sense an opportunity in chaos, that which we have with CMKX, They formulate a plan for exploiting every nuance of the chaotic situation to their advantage and agenda, whatever that may be, by knowing that our leaders have been lax with keeping us in the loop.
Where our leaders are have failed to fill a void, these people see these voids, deficiencies as untapped opportunities ripe to manipulate.
They articulate a vision, which they claim is directly linked to our situation and enhance it with commentary from a reliable source, comments which they know their subject (us) will respond favorable to. The share secrets that they hint at , or openly say are related to some “as yet unknown, but soon to be announced plan,” which has or currently involves some type of strategic vision directly related to our situation. Sound familiar?
Hey we buy into it, because we have all been there at one time or another wanting a good outcome on a particular situation and having been there, we share a capacity to accept what it is they are so willing to convey. We see their vision of what is happening, as viable and real because it’s a secret not know to others.
Bottom line, we are all guilty of being gullible enough to accept rumors, but ultimately the company must accept responsibility for placing us in this confused and wanting condition…lol
As ELO suggested to a basher….. I’ll say to those who fail to understand where I’m coming from with this post and are upset with me...….. “a good course in anger management should do the trick. Breath slowly so your eyeballs don’t pop out.” …..
