WHAT IS FRAUDAFFLUENCE?

What is fraudaffluence?

It is a compound word I have coined: Fraud + Affluence.

Fraudaffluence is defined as any affluence that comes about by use of fraud. The word fraudaffluence is useful because it allows us to distinguish affluence gained by honesty as opposed to affluence gained by fraud. Honesty and morality are important. The word fraudaffluence can help us to negatively define those who use various forms of fraud to obtain affluence. This new word "fraudaffluence" can be used as a modern substitute for the stocks in which people were locked in days of old to publicly shamed for their misdeeds.

What is an example of fraudaffluence?

The hiring and exploiting of illegal aliens is one of the largest and most common forms of fraudaffluence in America. Many middle-class contractors claim that they must hire illegals because, "Everyone else does." This is how they excuse their criminality and gain personal affluence. This is fraudaffluence.

Corporations also engage in fraudaffluence by hiring illegals, lying to investors, making false claims, adulterating their products, etc.

Fraudaffluence is what happens when capitalism, religion, government, and the many other avenues that money travels down are left unchecked. Enron was a stunning example of fraudaffluence of individuals using a corporation to perpetrate fraud. This fraud created great personal affluence for the Enron executives who were indicted. Big Oil is awash in profits from fraudaffluence gained by manipulating markets.

From a spiritual perspective, money, power, or influence gained by fraudaffluence can be said to have bad karma. Hence, those whose fortunes, power, or influence are based upon fraudaffluence will attract bad karma. A person guilty of fraudaffluence is called a Fraudaffluent. What contemporary people are examples of Fraudaffluents?

The disgraced US Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, is a political Fraudaffluent.

The disgraced Andrew Fastow, the CFO of Enron, is a corporate Fraudaffluent.

The disgraced Pastor Ted Haggarty is an example of a religious Fraudaffluent.

These are two fraudaffluents who were caught. Part of the work of TechnoMystics will be to use the vast power of the internet to expose those people and groups that seek to enslave or defraud good and honest people by use of fraudaffluence. Forensics and leaks will play a crucial part of this work. The purpose of this work is to teach people how to recognize and fight evil because Free People cannot trust governments, corporations, religion, or the media to tell the truth or to do that which is Good. We are all asked to be Good, productive, and informed citizens and consumers by  governments, corporations, religion, and the media -- and yet these Power Elites do not uphold their part of the social contract to also be Good. TechnoMysticism refuses the clichéd argument that disgraceful and inexcusable conduct is simply human nature. TechnoMysticism rather recognizes and asserts that there is a very real and active War between Good and Evil at work in the world and that people need to choose sides. TechnoMysticism does not define Good and Evil in terms of Judeo-Christian morality, or of any religious morality, for religions are inherently corruptible. TechnoMysticism instead demands that Good and Evil be understood in terms of an ongoing debate that summates to a consensus that is codified as law. In other words, TechnoMysticism enshrines the Democratic principle of Free Peoples self-determining their own laws and agreeing to abide by these laws. This principle is based upon the Enlightenment Ideal that self-governing Free Peoples can create a just and self-correcting Government. Thus, when a Government of the People becomes corrupt, it needs to be changed by Free and Honest Elections and not by violence or the Fraudaffluence of rigged elections, slimy lobbyists, or dishonest political leaders. In extreme cases, Revolution is needed when a Government takes up arms against its own people and refuses to change.

In this website, and on my blog, I will explore fraudaffluence and fraudaffluents from my point of view. I was was born and raised in Los Angeles. This is my homeland and I have seen it negatively transformed by fraudaffluence. Los Angeles is the penultimate example of fraudaffluence and great beauty. That fraudaffluence can exist within such natural and artistic beauty shows fraudaffluence to be a form of premeditated evil that disguises itself in countless forms.
