Checklist

Do you have a checklist of things to do each day or week?  Let's talk about your checklist.  Surely items are on your list because they need to be done.  Surely you try to improve the world by using your checklist.

  

Ditto and likewise.  One of the items on MY checklist, to do every Sunday, is 'help stamp out robberies'.  Here's the deal:  dirty rotten cheating robbers bald-face stole a square dance club from a hard-working honest couple.  They smeared and slandered that couple's good name, and got clean away with robbery in broad daylight.

  

That robbery is just totally wrong.  It was wrong when it happened, it's been wrong ever since, and it will continue to be wrong until corrected.

 

So, every Sunday is "Attempt To Correct" day.  It's on the checklist, so let's get 'er done.  Let's start at the beginning.  It began with robbery, so let's start there.  Do you support theft and cheating and swindling and robbery?  If so, then shame on you.  You seriously need to stop supporting robbers.  You need to stop supporting FunDancers.  That club exists today for just one reason only:  someone bald-face stole it.  If you helped the robbers get clean away with the crime, then you did the wrong thing.  You're a dirty rotten individual.  Stop helping robbers.  That's it.
 

But what if you do not support robbery?  What if you do the right thing instead (by choosing a good honest event instead of a cheated stolen swindled one)?  If so, goody for you.  When you choose a good honest event, you're doing what's right.  Now all you need to do is encourage others to also do what's right.
 

Sunday is 'Anti-Robbery' day.  Do something today to make sure that bald-face swindling robbers don't get away with their crime.  Stop supporting robbery, encourage others to stop supporting robbery, then check it off your list.

What is a Square Dance Caller?

In 2004 I set up a website for the entire Rio Grande Valley of Texas.  It cost me hundreds of hours in time and hundreds of dollars of my own money to get the site up and running.  The site was set up as a public service for the square dance community. When I left that region in 2009, I outright gave the website to the couple who will call tomorrow at FunDancers.
 
In early 2012, I enhanced the website so that it can make money by selling ads. This took hundreds of additional hours of time. After I set up the ad program, I showed them exactly how to go out and sell ads. I personally loaded all the ads into the system and showed them how to mail out invoices and get paid.

We agreed to split the income.  Actually, a 50-50 split right down the middle would have been a totally fair deal.  However they negotiated me down to only a 20% share (because I had a real job and they didn't).

So, let's recap.  I came up with the idea.  I set up the website. I put in hundreds of hours of time, absolutely free, and hundreds of dollars of my own money just to get the site running. I set up the advertising program. I showed them exactly how to make it all work. 

They are to get 80% while I only get 20%.  This surely sounds like an extremely generous deal (for them).

Whenever you talk about how square dancing is "friendship", what do you think the word "friendship" means? Perhaps it means "friends" will do all the work and then just outright give someone a money-making website in exchange for only 20% of the action.  Yep, square dancing is all about "friendship", especially when you have "friends" you can use.

Anyway, we made a deal.  They get 80 percent, I get 20.

Except ... they paid me exactly one time ... the very first month the program was running. They never paid a dime after that.  Interestingly, that same month (April 2012) was when Ed Wedig and the Wheatleys brutally, senselessly and criminally robbed, swindled, cheated and smeared me and my innocent spouse out of the square dance business which took us a lifetime to build.

Fast forward to today.  Today, ads still run on the Rio Grande Valley website which I built.  Ad money still rolls in every month.  I still came up with the idea, did all the work, financed the project out of my own pocket, set up everything and showed them how to use it. Everything today is going exactly to plan  ... except  ... I've been cheated out of my share of the deal for over two years now.

Do the math.  Tomorrow's caller has outright cheated me out of nearly $3000. That's in addition to approximately $35,000 which I was directly and/or indirectly swindled out of by Ed Wedig and the Wheatleys when they outright strong-arm robbed me and my wife.

So, let's recap.  What kind of person would cheat a "friend" out of thousands of dollars? Well, that's the kind of person who calls square dances today and/or is a leader in such a "friendly" activity.

To be fair, it's not an isolated problem.  Almost all "prominent" square dance callers today are lying, cheating, back-stabbing, money-grabbing, swindling, robbing, immoral, duty-shirking bill-dodgers.  Let's be honest. Square dancing is way down.  Square dance callers nowadays, if they want to survive, must lie and cheat and swindle ... just to get by.  It's almost impossible to start a new square dance club.  A much better way is to wait until someone else starts a club and then steal it from them.

So whenever you talk about how square dancing is "friendship", just remember that if you are willing to do all the work and put up all the time and money only to get cheated out of all that you built, then you can be a true loyal "friend" to a square dance leader.  But if you are not willing to silently tolerate being a crime victim, then suddenly you're labeled as "crazy" or "unfriendly", etc.

If it's "crazy" to speak out against robbery and cheating, then so be it. Your personal opinion of someone's mental health does not change the unalterable fact that it's just flat wrong to rob, swindle and cheat other people.  Additionally, this same person who rooked me out of my share of advertising revenue (by pocketing the entire amount instead of paying the agreed-upon split) has come in to Schertz many times and helped himself to robbery loot.  When my club and my money and my business was outright bald-face stolen from me, this same "friend" has profited handsomely.  He comes in and scoops up fistfuls of robbery loot, as much and as often as he can, quickly, before it all runs out.

That's what it takes, nowadays, to be a successful square dance caller.  You must be willing to rob and cheat others if you want to survive.  You must totally steep yourself in absolute no-good rottenness.

On Sunday you can dance to a deadbeat who robs his friends, doesn't honor his agreements and cheats his colleagues.  You can dance at a club which was strong-arm bald-face stolen and swindled by deadbeat robbers, name-smearers and cheaters.  You can reward dastardly immoral people who prosper from horrible illegal activities. 

If you dance at Fundancers, you send a message that it's perfectly okay to rob, swindle, cheat and steal. Is that the message you really want to send?

Or ... you can choose do to the right thing instead.  You can avoid robbers.  You can find a good wholesome activity to do.  It really isn't hard to find some other activity which does not require you to reward robbing cheating swindling scumbags.  It's your choice.  You can endorse and validate criminal robbing cheating bandits.  Or you can do the right thing by avoiding wrongdoing.  Which choice will you make, and what message does it send?

Dear Abby

Dear Abby,
 

A few years ago, I formed a partnership with "friends".  Together we built the largest and most successful square dance club in the region.  Alas, I had loaned thousands of dollars to the venture. The very minute the fledgling enterprise turned profitable, the other partners flat-out stole the club in broad daylight.  They took everything.  They completely defaulted on the debt they owed.  Then they used malicious slander to spread dirty lies and turn hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of so-called "friends" and "fans" against me.  What should I do?

Signed,

Trying To Keep It From Happening to Someone Else

 
 ::

 
Dear Keep It From Happening,

 
Wake up and smell the coffee.  Next time, choose real friends rather than fake ones. 

 
Here's your first clue.  If you ever think that square-dance friends are real, think again. They're not real.  They're fake.  They'll pretend to be your friend ... as long as you pay the bills.  They'll rob you and your spouse while you're out of town.  Live and learn.  You made the mistake of expecting friendship and decency from people who are simply not capable of such qualities.

 
Clue #2:  don't ever loan money to no-good low-down ratfink robbing turncoat cheating swindlers. What were you thinking?  Alarms should have gone off the very minute that people with jobs and/or steady pensions wanted to "borrow" money from a struggling hard-working self-employed entrepreneur.  The signs were all there.  You failed to read them.  You were set up as a robbery victim from the get-go.

 
Now let's talk about how, after a robbery, when you urgently need support and understanding from "professional colleagues", they all side with the robbers.  The explanation is simple.  Other callers are not actually your "friends".  They're your competitors.  They're competing for the same shrinking customer base.  In any competitive arena, your colleagues want just one thing after a robbery.  They want to reach in and grab as much loot as possible, before someone else jumps in and grabs it first.  You expected morality and ethical behavior from people who simply don't have it to give.

 
Here's the saddest part.  Right now, at this very minute, the same low-down cheating swindling ratfink thieving lying slanderous jerks are planning their next robbery.  Yep, believe it.  Someone at today's dance will likely be the next crime victim.  Listen to Abby.  Anyone who willingly associates with known cheaters and swindlers should not act surprised when they find themselves funding the next round of robbery loot.

This week we feature a guest writer. A total jerk recently sent in an abusive taunting message. Let's read and learn.

I write about the crimes of stealing, swindling, cheating, defamation and robbery. You helped dirty rotten crooks get clean away with these atrocities for over a year.

If you want different crime stories, you need to commit different crimes.

I noticed you seem amused by robbery, swindling, crime and defamation.

I invested years of hard work and thousands of dollars into building up a business. Lowdown scumbag crooks (including you) outright stole my business from me and my spouse.

What gives you the right to steal our money and our business from us? What gives you the right to be amused because we were swindled, cheated, lied to and smeared?

Let's analyze your own term ... "worthless". Back when I was investing lots of time and money into building the club which you eventually stole, I was always proudly introduced as the club's "very own internationally-known caller". But after you rob, cheat, swindle and smear me, from that point on I'm suddenly "worthless". I'm not even welcome at dances which are financed with the robbery loot.

So, in your view, someone has "worth" if they will build up a club for you to steal. After you rob someone, that same builder is now "worthless".

Switching topics, what gives YOU the right to steal a business from someone who invested thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours into building it up?

Anyone who would endorse that crime, or even worse, be amused by it, is truly "worthless".

> Looks like everyone caught on to your psychotic act.

Not quite "everyone". Most people were not fooled when experienced capable swindlers used a tried-and-true formula.

Some con artists spread the malicious lie that their crime victim had gone insane. It's a common ploy used by petty crooks who want to rob someone. The cheap lowdown scumbag dirty rotten trick only works when dealing with ignorant gullible fools.

I notice that the tactic worked perfectly on you.

By the way, what gives you the right to rob someone? How do you justify being amused because someone was cheated and swindled? In other words, WHAT ON EARTH is WRONG with YOU????

> Keep the emails coming, I like a good laugh from time to time.

Ditto and likewise.

Let's recap. You are amused by crime, right? When someone gets ripped off, it's entertaining ... correct?

If it just so happens that YOU are robbed and cheated and swindled, then you'd expect all of your so-called "friends" to laugh at you, right?

You are truly one sick and twisted individual.

> Where are you now? Have they committed you yet?

Where are YOU now? Have they thrown you in jail yet for robbery and slander?

> Your past friend
> Art

Let's get one thing straight. You never were (and will never be) _my_ friend. Friends don't lie, cheat, rob, swindle, defame, rip off and taunt each other. Friends are not amused when crimes happen to others.

Only a total jackass like you would ever believe that YOUR fake friendship is a coveted commodity which can be withheld for the purpose of punishing someone because they got robbed.

You are a sick perverted scumbag. I don't associate with liars, cheaters, crooks, swindlers, defamers, gossips, etc ... nor people who aid, abet and endorse crime.

The End

PS - what gives you the right to rob, cheat, swindle, defraud and defame others and then be amused by it?

I Was Wrong

Back when I first realized that swindlers had stolen the square dance club which my spouse and I organized, founded, promoted, built and grew, I was NOT alarmed. I thought, "Surely the robbers cannot attract any people because surely the nice upstanding dance community will never tolerate dishonesty or theft.". I just _knew_ that square dancers were good honest people. 

Boy oh boy, I was clearly WRONG! 

I TOTALLY over-estimated the honesty and integrity of the square dance community.

The local dance community blindly supported the lying cheating swindling stealing robbers. The dancers believed filthy raunchy vicious lying rumors which were started and spread by the people who robbed me. The idea of checking with me first (to find out if the rumors were true) never occurred to anyone. Dancers gossiped with wild abandon. In addition to being a robbery victim, I became the target of a defamation campaign and an outcast in my own home town.

When I refused to silently suffer as a victim of robbery and lynching, the crooks who robbed me set up a website to smear my name.  The dirty rotten lying stealing cheating swindlers tried their dead-level best to put me completely out of business worldwide. 

Think about it:  how often do you see a website whose _only_ purpose is to smear an internationally-known square dance caller and try to run him completely out of business?  The answer is "never".  You NEVER see this because there are certain lowdown atrocious acts which are so vile and despicable that people simply NEVER do those criminal acts.

How would you like it if someone robbed YOU and then set up a website to smear YOUR name?

Yet in fact the rotten crummy swindling robbing cheating scumbags who stole my club (and cheated me out of thousands of dollars) did indeed set up a smear-site for the sole purpose of defamation.

The lying cheating rotten crooks went to my own website and found my schedule of future calling dates. They contacted every last one of my future bookings and tried to cancel those engagements. They told outright lies such as "he won't show up" or "he quit calling" or "he's deathly ill and cannot contact you himself". They did these vile despicable unspeakable horrific acts strictly to cause my wife and me financial harm, and specifically because of one fact:  when cheaters and swindlers stole my club and thousands of dollars from me, I refused to take the robbing silently.

Such criminal acts of defamation and harassment are absolutely horrible and totally unprecedented in the square dance world.

Yet, even then, I was not overly worried. I just KNEW that the nice upstanding dance community would observe the crummy evil dirty nasty smear tactics of the cheating lying swindlers and that the dancers would realize that those crimes are just TOTALLY WRONG and unheard of. I fully trusted that the good people in the dance community would steer clear of the evil name-smearing gossipy lying rumor-mongering cheating stealing slanderers and defamers.

Well, guess what?  I was totally WRONG again.

I mistakenly thought that local square dancers were good honest people.  I would have never guessed that people who purport to be "friends" would actually side with cheaters, swindlers, robbers, liars and crooks. I was so totally utterly wrong.

To be fair, the vast majority of my so-called "friends" completely DROPPED OUT of square dancing forever due to the vicious criminal acts of a small band of dirty lowdown cheating robbers. Yet a surprising number (actually, any number greater than "zero" is a surprising number) of so-called "friends" turned completely and permanently against me and my spouse after we were the victims of an unprovoked and unjustified robbery committed by cold calculating experienced swindlers and cheaters.

NOT ONE "friend" stood up to say "HEY, this is ROBBERY and it's just SO WRONG!"  NOT ONE local dancer has ANY morals whatsoever.  As far as I can tell, they ALL support and endorse (or at least tolerate) crime and theft. They continue to participate in the stolen club and profit from the robbery, despite repeated pleadings from the crime victims to please STOP supporting robbery, cheating, lying, theft, slander, crime, etc.

Having lost all faith in the goodness and integrity of the local dance population, all I can say is ... SHAME ON YOU. 

SHAME ON YOU!

Your mother taught you better than that, you immoral CHEATING swindler-supporting LIAR-ENABLING back-stabbing FALSE-FRIEND flat-wrong TWO-FACED loot-spending TURN-COAT money-grubbing IGNORANT easily-misled RAUNCHY confused INDECENT vile DESPICABLE unethical DEFAMATORY vicious LOW-DOWN dirty ROTTEN untrustworthy GOSSIPS.

I can only hope that every last crime-supporting false-friend loot-spender gets robbed and cheated and swindled and lied to and gossiped about and taunted and shamed and defrauded and slandered ... and then I hope that all of your fake two-faced "friends" laugh hysterically at your plight. Then you'll finally understand what you have done. 

Your total lack of morals and your enthusiastic support for cheating swindling robbers has damaged square dancing in the local area beyond repair.  The region will NEVER recover from the disastrous fact that YOU fully supported theft and robbery. 

For all practical purposes, the very minute that you decided to support swindling cheating gossiping lying robbers, you signed a death certificate for square dancing.  You had the opportunity to do the right thing, and as far as I can tell, you just flat let that opportunity pass you by.

Yep, I was totally wrong.  I mistakenly believed there was at least one grain of decency in the local dance community.  I never dreamed that square dancers would enthusiastically help crooks rob honest hard-working people. I totally under-estimated the lack of morals, the power of gossip, the delight of joining a lynch mob and the lure of spending robbery loot.

People need to admit when they are wrong.

I admit it.  I was completely wrong.  I mistakenly believed that square dancers were much better people than they actually are.

It's Your Turn

This weekend (just like every weekend) the stolen club in Schertz uses stolen robbery loot to hire a caller who is willing to accept stolen cash to call at a stolen club for people who robbed, cheated, swindled, bilked, hoodwinked, slandered, defamed and committed crimes which originated with secret meetings held while the club originators, organizers and founders were out of town.
  
If you enjoy supporting outright theft and crime, come be with other people just like you, i.e. people who profit from crime and who support theft, dishonesty, cheating and swindling.

  
While you're at at, please start looking for a new crime victim.  It's important.  Although the dirty rotten lowdown robbers did manage to steal several thousand dollars from Nasser and Jeanna, those stolen funds can't last forever.  You desperately need to trick, hoodwink, deceive, bilk, swindle, and rob a new gullible victim so that the long string of loot-enabled dances can continue.

Here's a thought.  What if the next victim is YOU?  Wouldn't that be great?  After all, if you enthusiastically support Ed Wedig and Ken & Fay Wheatley rampantly cheating Nasser and Jeanna out of thousands of dollars, hundreds of friends, dozens of calling dates, years of hard work, etc., then SURELY you can support a similar robbery / swindling / slander-fest / cheating happening to YOU, right?  Wow, what a great idea!
  
So, get busy!  Start building up your OWN club.  Invest thousands of dollars and years of work into your OWN group.  Build it up to the point where it finally starts to pay off after years of your hard work and thousands of your own dollars.  You'll have the biggest club in the region.  Enjoy it for a few weeks, then watch as ruthless dishonest crooked swindling lying robbers steal it away from you and smear your name into the mud.
 
THEN, you can laugh at your OWN plight ... just like you're amused today because someone ELSE was robbed.

Just think ... you can try to convince your former "friends" to stop supporting crime, only to be rebuked at every attempt.  Yes, a taste of your own medicine will do you a lot of good, you ROTTEN ROBBERY-SUPPORTING CRIME-ABETTING CROOK-HELPING SLANDEROUS DEFAMATORY SWINDLER-ENABLING TWO-FACED IMMORAL INDECENT VILE DESPICABLE JERKS.

 
But that's all comes later (AFTER you invest thousands of dollars and years of hard work into your own group, only to have it stolen by swindling lying cheating robbers).  Let's talk about the HERE and NOW.  THIS weekend, go ahead and enjoy the use of stolen robbery loot to pay a caller four times what they were paying the club's founder, to call for one-fourth the crowd. While you're at it, discuss various ways to build up square dancing.  Yes indeed, it's the eternal question, "How can we make square dancing grow?".  Well, for starters, STOP CHEATING AND ROBBING THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE THE CLUBS.

Just remember:  it's YOUR turn to get robbed and cheated next.  So, start investing.  The sooner you put thousands of dollars and years of hard work into your club, the sooner the robbing lying cheating swindlers can take it away from you, smear your name into the mud, and amuse all your former "friends".

Holiday Notice

Due to a religious holiday, the local crime ring is inactive this week. But don't worry.  Next Sunday they go right back to cheatin', lyin', gossipin', stealin', name-smearin', robbin', swindlin' and lootin'.
 
Let's face facts. Crooks and robbers have infested the square dance activity. It's much worse than "we've got a problem". It is probably THE single biggest theft (approx. $8500) in the _entire_ history of square dancing. And __YOU__ endorse the "Biggest Crime in Square Dance History" if _you_ continue to support events financed with stolen funds and run by cheating thieving lying swindlers.

Do you have enough backbone to do the right thing? For almost a full year, I have urged you to avoid dishonest events.  It's time to ask yourself a question.  Have you even _tried_ to do that ONE right thing which actually addresses the problem? Have you stayed away from the liars, robbers, cheaters, swindlers and gossips?

If so, congratulations! If not, there's still time.  You can still help straighten out this mess.  Here's the one and only thing you must do: Find a dance which does NOT involve stolen funds, cheaters, swindlers, gossips, robbers, liars, etc. Then go to that honest dance instead of a lying, cheating, swindling, stolen, defamatory, fraudulent event.
 
Help put the bad guys out of business. Don't let robbers, cheaters, swindlers, liars and defamers get clean away with their crimes. Stop supporting robbery.  Don't condone the biggest theft in square dance history.  Put an end to crime. 

Find a good clean event at an honest club instead.

Make the right choice

Something to do in your spare time:

1. Go to the police station and wait until someone comes in and reports being robbed.
2. Make fun of that person.  Call him a liar.  Call him nasty names. 
3. Demand that the crime victim never contact you again.  Cancel all future business dealings with the person who got robbed.  Threaten to beat him up.
4. Tell everyone that the robbed person is crazy and therefore deserves to be cheated and swindled.  Drag that person's name through the mud.  Call him a liar again.  Threaten to have him arrested.
5. Make friends with the robbers.  Help the crooks spend the loot.
6. Repeat every Sunday.

If you go to FunDancers in Schertz, you're helping robbers get ahead by cheating and swindling.

You're supposedly a grownup.  Why do you need constant reminders that it's wrong to steal, lie and cheat?
 
So ... stop doing wrong!  Do the right thing instead!  Do NOT support square dance clubs which rob, cheat, steal, swindle, bilk, hoodwink, defame or defraud people.  Is that too much to ask?  Do NOT help robbers spend any loot.

You only have a limited amount of spare time.  Choose honest activities.  You'll be happier.

Remove me from your list

This Sunday a local square dance club once again uses loot from a robbery to hire callers who knowingly accept stolen funds.

Come celebrate all the rotten things about square dancing: swindling, robbing, cheating, stealing and lying while petty crooks smear the good name of their robbery victim.

Some of you have requested "remove me from your email list". 

Your request is certainly heard and understood, yet you are terribly misinformed. This message is aimed exclusively at robbers and cheaters ... and the people who support them (like, for example, YOU). You receive this message for ONE reason only: it is believed that YOU support and participate in criminal activities. By the way, whenever you endorse atrocious acts, you cause permanent harm to square dancing.

If you want to stop receiving these messages, you must do exactly one thing.  Stop supporting crime! If you can prove that you no longer support the robbers, cheaters, swindlers, defamers, etc, then your name will be cheerfully removed from the list.

So, indeed, you cannot ask someone else to remove your name from this list.  Instead, you can very easily remove your OWN name from this list by submitting evidence that you no longer support crooks and thieves.  This message goes out only to crooks, thieves, fraudsters, rip-off artists, etc.  There is strong reason to believe that you participate in these activities.  To stop receiving these messages, merely stop engaging in activities related to robbery, cheating, swindling, defamation, sharing in the loot from a crime, etc.

The only purpose of this message is to help transform YOU into a better person. Hopefully you will become someone who no longer aids and abets fraudsters, slanderers, scammers, etc. Isn't it great that there's an internet service dedicated entirely to YOUR improvement and rehabilitation?

It's normal for people like you to WISH for a "law" which, whenever someone's opinion differs from your own, you can legally compel them to shut up. Unfortunately such a law does not exist, else that law would have already been used on YOU many times.

Can't you see that a victim of fraud and defamation has the right to ask YOU to stop participating in even more crime?  Can't you see that if you help people rob and lie and cheat and swindle, then you yourself are encouraging even more of those filthy acts in the future?  Can't you see that a crime victim has the right to ask you to stop rewarding the criminals?

So, for those who claim "our opinions differ therefore I demand that you shut up", I must counter with "you support robbers, cheaters, swindlers, fraudsters, defamers and liars, so I demand that you stop doing these horrible things".  For those who say "remove me from your list" I counter with "remove your OWN self from this list by refusing to support any more crime".

It is not rocket science.  Swindlers, liars and cheaters robbed the people who founded, promoted, financed and grew the Sunday club.  Quite frankly, the robbery victims simply could not afford to lose the $8,500 that the robbers stole.  Today the bad guys use the stolen funds to continue operations ... and YOU are believed to support these crimes.

Well, stop doing that. 
 

If YOU endorse and enable crimes then I very sincerely and earnestly hope that these same crooks choose YOU as their next crime victim.

Surely your mother raised you to know the difference between right and wrong.  Surely you know that stealing is wrong. Surely you know that if you owe money, you should pay it. Surely you know that if you rob and cheat and swindle someone, and then if that person gripes about being robbed, you should NOT continue to defraud and defame and cheat and hoodwink the victim of your crimes.

Here's an executive summary: Do not support crime.  Do not honor defamers, robbers, cheaters, swindlers, bilkers, liars, etc. Stay as far away as you can from the Sunday club.

Abandon your life of crime.  Do the right thing instead.

Learn from Past Mistakes

The local Sunday square dance club:

•  stole the club away from the very people who founded and grew the club,
•  ran up a huge debt and then defaulted (thus stealing a trainload of money),
•  defrauded and cheated and hoodwinked and swindled good honest people,
•  spread bad rumors all over town,
•  lied profusely in an attempt to cover it all up.

 
We can "look the other way" (pretend it didn't happen) ... or .... we can face the problem head-on.

Let's choose to tell the truth. The Sunday club is hopelessly infested with expert and experienced fraudsters and swindlers.

They outright cheated their founder out of many thousands of dollars and many years of hard work.  They turned many so-called (i.e. FAKE) "friends" against the club's founder and they're still costing an honest hard-working couple hundreds of dollars each month due to their constant defamation and slander.

Now they warmly invite YOU to a nice friendly square dance on Sunday.

If you're a total ignoramus with no clue whatsoever, go ahead and fall for their elaborate ruse.  The plain fact is that you're supporting a stolen club which uses the loot from a robbery to hire callers who will gladly accept stolen funds to call for stolen people at a club which is just outrightly totally blatently stolen.

The Sunday club is run by expert liars, crooks, embezzlers, fraudsters and swindlers. The club's original founders made the mistake of trusting these outrageous cheaters.  Let's at least try to prevent other good honest people from making the same mistake.

If you decide to believe all their lies and if you decide to trust these dangerous crooks, please be careful. They might choose YOU for their next robbery victim.

Guess what?

Guess what?
 
The FunDancers website will soon disappear. 
 
Website hosting fees are payable annually in advance.  The FunDancers fees were last paid one year ago.  The club never reimbursed their webmaster for those legitimate business expenses, therefore the site will be terminated for non-payment now (one year after the last annual payment).
 
You might be wondering how this affects you.

The main effect on you is that the club claims they "always pay their bills on time", yet the plain fact is that their claim is just not true.  The club does not pay their bills on time.  In many cases, they do not pay their bills at all.  The past-due website fees are just one small example. 

The club has had a website for three years.  The first year was eventually reimbursed, almost two years after the fact.  Years two and three have never been paid.  That's just the tip of the iceberg.  The club owes their founder many thousands of dollars in legitimate business expenses.  The club claims they "fired" their caller, but that's just not true.  Actually, the club "robbed" their caller by not paying expenses they owed.

I could easily list many other examples.  The plain truth is that the club cheated their caller and founder out of many thousands of dollars.  They stole the money and the club.  They're using the stolen funds to operate the stolen club while attempting to totally smear the good name of the person they swindled.

The point is, the club is perfectly willing to proudly proclaim "we always pay our bills on time" yet that proclamation is just flat not true.  The club says "we don't owe one penny" yet that claim is completely false. 

It makes you wonder about the truthfulness of other statements the club makes.

I'm really not sure which is worse:  people who intentionally lie, or fake friends who immediately believe any lies they hear.  Either way, it's not the kind of situation I enjoy, therefore I'm staying far away from it ... and I encourage you to do the same.

Come Enjoy the Loot from a Robbery

Do you believe that the best way to get ahead in life is to rob, cheat, steal and swindle? Are you the kind of person who does not pay your bills? Do you like to be around other robbers, swindlers, bilkers, crooks, liars and cheaters?
 
If so, you'll have a grand time at FunDancers on Sunday.
 
As you know, in an era when far more square dance clubs are folding than forming, FunDancers was founded three years ago by an internationally known caller.  He worked hard to promote, build, bankroll and grow his club. Alas, he made the grave mistake of trusting people who happen to be liars, cheaters and swindlers.

Some dirty rotten lying cheating defamatory swindling bilking hoodwinking deadbeat con-artists infested the club. After a series of cold calculated conniving maneuvers, the bad guys took over.  They stole thousands of dollars and the club and most of the (as it ends up, totally fake and easily mis-led) people in the club.
 
You can pretend it never happened ... but you'd be lying to your own self.

You can pretend that square dancing builds solid friendships ... but you'd be totally wrong. Square dance friendships are as solid as water running through a sieve.  All someone has to do is exclaim (behind your back) "he or she is mentally unstable!", then all your former friends will suddenly believe it's okay to rob you.
 
If you enjoy sharing in the loot from robberies, come on out to FunDancers. The current club leadership cheats good honest hard-working people out of their lifelong investments. Maybe you will get swindled next?  Come find out for yourself.

If someone dares speak out against those ghastly acts, the liars and cheaters will ruin their reputation through expert defamation.  They don't stop at just robbing and swindling good people. They take away your very livelihood and run you completely out of business.  Maybe you'll be the next robbery victim?
 
If you feel comfortable among robbers, cheaters, swindlers, liars, deadbeats, slanderers and crooks then you'll feel right at home at FunDancers.  If you like to use stolen money to run a club which was swindled from good honest hard-working people, then you'll be in your element.  Come help enjoy the spoils from a robbery.

"Don't Be Fooled"

Let's suppose that someone steals thousands of dollars. Now let's suppose that they give some of the stolen money to charity. Does giving a portion of the loot to charity suddenly make it okay to steal, lie, cheat and swindle?

Of course it doesn't. If a robber steals thousands of dollars and then gives some of the stolen money to charity, it's still theft, robbery, cheating, swindling and crime.

Did you know?

• Last April, FunDancers stole, swindled and cheated their caller and founder out of a sizable sum. For those who prefer exact figures, the amount of the theft was $8,588.24.
• Since then, all guest callers at FunDancers are paid with stolen funds.
• Most callers see nothing wrong with accepting stolen money.
• Only one guest caller refused to profit from a robbery.
• That one honest caller agreed to donate his fee to charity rather than accept stolen funds.
• Thus the idea of a "charity dance" was born out of a robbery.

While it's certainly nice to support charity, the entire event is nonetheless massively wrong. Experienced swindlers are pulling the wool over your eyes. At the recent "charity dance" money-laundering scheme, the club actually donated only the hall rent ($75). The rest of the donation came from the extreme generosity of the dancers and of course the guest caller. If an organization steals thousands of dollars and then they donate a tiny part of that money to charity, it's still theft.

Dishonest people have created a huge problem for the local square dance scene. Here's what you can do to help solve the problem.

First, if you have NO concept of the difference between right and wrong, then go ahead and support money-laundering events staged by the same swindlers, cheaters and robbers who outright stole FunDancers, and many thousands of dollars, from the club's founders. If your mother never taught you that stealing is just flat wrong, then go ahead and participate in a continuing crime spree.

Or, you can do the right thing instead. There's only one way to put the bad guys out of business. _You_ can solve this crime. Here's what you must do: Stop going to their dances! It's actually quite simple. Stop supporting criminals. Stop the madness. Don't participate. Walk away. Do something else instead.

A crook cannot steal thousands of dollars and then suddenly become a saint by donating a small portion of the loot to charity. Other criminals throughout history have tried that same ruse. The ploy never works. Instead, it is a very clever trick staged by some very experienced crooks.

Don't be fooled.

New Year at FunDancers

In 2012, FunDancers prospered by stealing thousands of dollars from the club's original founder and caller. We would like to thank our blind followers for supporting the crime spree. When we needed you to look the other way and ignore wrongdoing, you really came through for us.
 
Even though, deep-down, you know it's wrong to steal and cheat and swindle, we were able to spin enough propaganda to cheat the club's founders and builders out of their money and their club. We also turned most of their so-called "friends" against them. We ended up with everything while our crime victims ended up with nothing.  This is good. That's exactly how crime sprees are supposed to work.
 
When Nasser refused to silently take a robbing from dirty low-down immoral crooks, we spread lies far and wide. We went on a mission to put Nasser and Jeanna permanently out of square dancing. By crackie, whenever we rob and cheat someone, we expect a silent and willing victim! If our victims refuse to be quietly swindled then we'll ruin them forever!

Last year was wonderful, but 2013 will be even better. As the new year dawns at FunDancers, we need your help. Our club thrives on crime, cheating, robbery and swindling. We now need a new victim to rob, trick, cheat, swindle, defame and tell lies about.

Hopefully our new mark will be silent about being swindled.  Nobody wants to hear bad news about how an acquaintance was cheated and robbed. That's precisely why our society tends to blame the victim nowadays. There's nothing worse than a crime victim who just can't stop talking about how he was cheated, swindled, robbed and defamed. We're tired of hearing about it and I know you are too.

So, can you help us out? Do you know anyone we can rob and cheat and swindle, so that our square dance club can grow in the new year? We need our next victim to be a successful builder of square dancing, because it only makes sense to steal from someone who can build up a club that's even worth stealing.

Do you know any new mark we can target for a new crime spree in the new year? Let's continue to do the same things which worked in 2012.  We'll simply run up a huge debt with our new victims, hold meetings behind their back, default on the debt, hoodwink our victims, rob them, cheat them, swindle them out of thousands of dollars, steal their club our from under them, and then we'll use the stolen money to run the stolen club.

If our victim gripes, we'll once again tell numerous lies designed to turn their so-called "friends" against our victim. If they continue to gripe, we'll do everything we possibly can to put our victim permanently out of business through criminal defamation and slander.

Can you help us out? Can you think of any possible new victim for us to cheat and rob, in the new year? We're desperate. Please help spread the word:  FunDancers is looking for someone new to cheat, rob, swindle and defame.

Please help. Our club prospered last year due to cheating, trickery, deceit, defamation, lies and robbery. We stole thousands of dollars from Nasser and Jeanna, cheated them out of their club and their friends, etc, but that money is almost depleted. We've got just barely enough left to cheat Jerry Story out of his normal calling fee by claiming it's a "charity" dance. Let the good times roll. We need a new victim to cheat and swindle in the new year. Can you think of anyone we can steal from, so that the club can continue to prosper?

Sincerely,

FunDancers
the most experienced cheaters, swindlers and liars in Texas

How to Cheat and Win

Soon after Ed Wedig became president of FunDancers, he and the club's founder / caller met for lunch. They talked about many things including how Ed makes a ton of money by cheating at casinos. Read on for details.
 
A roulette wheel is a mechanical device.  Mechanical devices have flaws. Ed goes to a casino and watches the roulette wheel for about 5,000 spins. He keeps track of which numbers come up more often than expected. This phase of his scam takes 2 to 3 weeks.

After accumulating enough data, Ed exploits the weaknesses in the wheel. He bets and wins until the casino eventually catches on and throws him out. Ed claims that he typically wins $300,000 per casino.

In addition to stealing the casino's money, Ed seems to enjoy the notoriety. He brags about being immediately recognized at casinos. He's delighted when the casino manager asks him to please find a different casino to visit.

Here's something important:  Ed Wedig does not merely go into a casino and randomly cheat should the opportunity arise. Instead, he very carefully plans a cold pre-meditated scheme to steal 300 grand. Let's agree that _most_ people do _not_ earn money by swindling, cheating and robbing others.

So if your question is, "Where did you get the idea that Ed Wedig is a known casino cheat?" the answer is simply "From Ed's own bragging".

This same cunning, conniving, methodical and experienced crook is now president of a square dance club. Obviously, you can steal far more money from a casino than from a square dance club. Still, you'd be surprised by just how much money Ed and his band of thugs managed to steal from The Shukayrs.

Using cold, calculated maneuvers, Ed and his accomplices ripped off Nasser and Jeanna for thousands of dollars. His pre-meditated plan included defaming and discrediting his victims so that people will blame the victim instead of the criminal. Ed cheated an innocent couple out of their money, their club, their friends, and years of hard work.

If you find this report difficult to believe, it's probably because Ed and his cohorts worked very hard to discredit and defame the source.

Here is the current situation at FunDancers.

• Most of the stolen money is already spent and will never be recovered.
• The club's reputation is hopelessly tarnished: the club will never regain its pre-robbery stature as the region's strongest club.
• Many fair-weather friends are now alienated against the club's founder due to Ed's expertly executed defamation campaign.
• The years of hard work required to build up the club are forever lost.

 So, if the money is gone, the club is gone, the friendships are gone, the hard work has vanished ... how on earth can we turn this into something positive?

There is only _one_ option. We must shut down the crooks completely, BEFORE they can find and rob any NEW victims. We must not support ANY activities at the stolen club.

We must act together to rid the local square dance activity of a terrible disease. For months, the bad guys (robbers, crooks, slanderers, thieves, cheaters, swindlers, con artists, liars, etc.) have won, big-time. Let's turn it around. It's time for us good guys to win for a change.

Let's do the right thing. Ed Wedig and his band of thugs cooked up a crafty methodical plan to cheat, steal, swindle, defame and discredit their way to success. Let's turn out the lights on their party by actively AVOIDING their dishonest events. Tell all your friends and acquaintances:  together we will rid the area square dance scene of vile corruption and disease. Let's stop the cheaters cold, BEFORE they can find and rob any MORE good innocent people.

You have a choice

Today you have an important decision to make.  I'll explain.

FunDancers elected a new president earlier this year.  He discovered that the club owed a lot of money to their founder and caller.  Instead of doing the right thing, the new president made a "shrewd business decision" to default on the debt, outright steal the money (thousands of dollars) the club owed to their caller, use the stolen funds to continue operations, then tell a huge pack of lies to try to cover up his crimes.  Sadly, many people immediately believed the lies, without even checking to find out if they contained even one shred of truth.

So now YOU have a decision to make.  Will YOU continue to support this dishonest club's events?  If so, you're sending a clear vote in favor of cheating, swindling, stealing, lying and just downright rottenness. 

Many of you have -already- chosen to support the crooks.  While it's far better to never support crime in the first place, you still have some opportunity to do the right thing.  You can still choose to STOP supporting any more activities from lying, cheating swindlers.

If you go to FunDancers dances, you are a knowing and willful participant in robbery, theft, slander, swindling and crime.  It's that simple.  This is not rocket science.  It's merely a matter of knowing the difference between right and wrong.  Supporting crime is wrong. Avoiding crummy lowdown rotten crooked stealing lying swindling cheating robbers is right.

Surely your mother taught you the difference between right and wrong?

The one and only purpose of this message is to persuade YOU to stop aiding and abetting the petty thieves and con-artists who took over FunDancers and stole the club by cheating innocent people.  Bad guys must not win.  The purpose of this message is to enlist YOUR help so that the bad guys will stop winning.

Yes, in 2012 a local club swindled and cheated their founder and caller. It is NOT okay to steal, cheat and lie.  It is NOT okay for you to pretend that it never happened.  It is NOT okay to participate or even listen to the rumors and lies swirling around.  NOTHING about this CRIME is okay.  To pretend that it's all okay is just plain wrong.

YOU have a choice.  You can stand up for what's right, or you can ignore all the facts and do exactly the wrong thing.  It's your choice.  Choose wisely.

Right or Wrong ... what's the difference?

Be sure to avoid the square dance club on Sunday in Schertz.  As you probably know, that club owed their founder and caller thousands of dollars.  They chose to outright steal the money and to use the stolen funds to hire other callers.  The club broke every guiding principle upon which they were founded.  Today the club operates dishonestly by using stolen funds to hire immoral callers.  It's a huge theft ring and, if you participate, you're being played for a fool.

Good people just do not steal, lie, cheat or swindle ... yet the Sunday club in Schertz did all of those horrible things and more.  Do you really want to spend YOUR spare time associating with a bunch of liars, robbers and cheaters?  Surely you can find a better class of people with whom to socialize.

The local area has many (okay, some) good honest square dances.  If you enjoy square dancing, simply choose a good honest club which does not participate in robbing people, telling lies, swindling their supposed friends, immoral crimes, etc.

Please don't pretend that you have no alternative. Your mission is actually quite easy.  Just stop supporting dishonest square dance events.

For those fake friends among you who see nothing wrong with cheating, lying, stealing and robbing a fellow square dancer, shame on you.  You really do need a major wake-up call.  You desperately need to figure out the fundamental difference between right and wrong (hint: robbing someone is wrong, telling lies to try to weasel out of what you owe is wrong, bilking someone out of thousands of dollars is wrong, using stolen money to run a square dance club is wrong, etc.).

Once you finally realize that there's a difference between right and wrong, here's your next step: merely gravitate towards "right" and avoid "wrong".  It's easy.  You should try it.  You'll feel better after you stop supporting theft.

Avoid the lying, robbing, cheating, swindling, slandering, stealing, criminal, low-life, back-stabbing, embezzling, crooked jerks on Sunday in Schertz.  Choose an honest dance event instead.  You'll respect yourself a whole lot more, from the very first moment that you decide to no longer support wrongdoing.

Whose fault is it?

Whenever a crime occurs, people often tend to blame the victim.
 
A crime occurred at FunDancers earlier this year.  A square dance club owed their caller and founder many thousands of dollars.  Instead of making arrangements to pay this rightful debt, the club decided to default on the debt, pay absolutely nothing, outright steal the money they owed, and use the stolen money to continue operations.  When the victim of their crime protested, the criminals made up a bunch of damaging lies in an effort to justify their crime and blackball their crime victim.

Despite repeated attempts by the victim to spread the truth and set the record straight, people still tend to blame the victim.  So let's analyze this.  Exactly what did the victim do wrong?  How did the victim cause this crime to happen?

Here's the answer.  The victim (club caller) made the mistake of trusting certain people (Ed Wedig and The Wheatleys) who happen to be liars, cheaters, swindlers, rumor-mongers and deadbeats.

Many of you who are reading this message are making the exact same mistake.

If you can't be good, please be careful

Let's be truthful, always.
 
FunDancers stole a lot of money from me.  The club still owes me thousands of dollars.  They have not paid even one penny. It's more than just money:  they also swindled me out of the square dance club which I personally founded and bankrolled.

Even if you have heard stories to the contrary, the actual fact is that I was robbed.  The club operates today by using money they stole from me earlier this year.
  
Now I need your help.

Our region is fortunate to have many good honest square dance clubs. It's simply not fair to all the good clubs, if we let a bad club get ahead by cheating, stealing and lying. Are you willing to help stamp out wrongdoing?  There's only one way to put the cheaters and robbers out of business. Here's how you can help: Stop supporting wrongdoing!  It's really that simple. Stop rewarding theft!
 
If you dance at FunDancers, you're helping the cheating lying immoral crooks get away scot-free with robbery. Surely your mother taught you the difference between right and wrong. Surely you know that stealing is wrong.  Good honest people pay their bills, honor their agreements, keep their word, tell the truth, treat people fairly, etc. The officers of FunDancers did none of the things that good honest people are supposed to do.

I will continue to broadcast these messages as long as dirty lowdown crooks continue to use my stolen money to operate my stolen club. Your own willingness to ignore the facts does not alter the truth. If you dance at FunDancers, you're a participant in theft. You're as guilty as the robbers are. Hopefully you can do the right thing and simply walk away from the crime scene. 

I've given up on ever recouping what the robbers stole. I'm only trying to prevent these same bad people from harming more good people in the future. It was a shame (and a surprise) when it happened once. It would be no surprise (but it would be a preventable tragedy) if it happens again. So let's all do whatever we can.

Whether or not you can face up to the truth, it's nevertheless an unfortunate fact that the officers of FunDancers are cheaters, liars and swindlers.  For example, current president Ed Wedig has been banned from several casinos because he is a chronic cheater and swindler.  Treasurers Ken and Fay Wheatley were thrown out of a previous square dance club for embezzlement. The officers have a history of wrongdoing.  Earlier this year, this group of bad people robbed a good honest square dance caller for many thousands of dollars, bilked him out of the club which he established, then attempted to discredit and smear his good name. When he protested, they are now attempting to put that same caller out of business permanently, instead of doing the right thing which is to simply pay their bills.

We will not be bullied by thugs.   We will achieve the correct and proper outcome, which is to stop the criminals from doing even more damage to more good people in the future.

If you still decide to completely ignore the difference between right and wrong, please do your own self a favor and "Watch Your Wallet". Some terribly awful club leaders viciously cheated and robbed a caller for no reason.  It's a continuing pattern:  these same people have cheated and robbed other good people in the past. It's time for the crime spree to end.  Let's prevent it from happening to someone else. If you just cannot find the internal strength to stop supporting robbers, liars and cheaters, then please at least be careful.  Stay aware.  Watch your own back.  Please do not become the next target of their next crime.

There are many Good Honest Square Dances in the local area

There are many good honest square dance clubs in the area. 

It's simply not fair, to all the honest clubs, if we allow a dishonest club to get ahead by stealing, lying and cheating.

If you go dance at FunDancers then you are helping a dishonest club get away with wrongdoing.

Please do not support illegal or immoral activities. We must not allow cheaters and robbers to prosper.  Stop going to square dance clubs which steal and cheat and swindle. Stop supporting callers who knowingly accept stolen money. Send a clear message to these lowlifes that you will not tolerate theft, lying, slander, dishonesty or wrongdoing.

Do the right thing and avoid situations which are gravely and seriously wrong.  My one and only goal is to improve the local square dance scene by shutting down the bad guys so that the good guys can continue.

With so many honest clubs from which to choose, why would you even think about going to a dishonest one?

Here's hoping that you enjoy many square dances at good honest ethical clubs, and that you avoid clubs which engage in massive intentional wrongdoing.
