Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts Back on Facebook Pushing Overpriced Laxatives

As I watched Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts pushing laxatives (CorVive CorRenew product) and lying with almost every breath he took on his latest CorVive Facebook video, it occurred to me he might have made a great politician. If he wasn’t so short and fat, he might have had a chance to be a world-class, government-paid liar and maybe U.S. Senator instead of a sad, lumpy clown who pushes overpriced laxatives to suckers via Facebook video. It takes a special kind of scumbag to spout such absolute nonsense with a straight face. Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts is just such a scumbag.

In his latest video, Meatball Fouts not only tells everyone they should take his laxative every single morning because it removes all those pesky “toxins and chemicals” (lie) but he also intimates that it can probably reduce colon cancer as well! Wow. Meatball will stoop as low as he needs to in order to get your money.

Here is a transcript of his latest lies (8:32 mark in the video):

“Everyone today is struggling with their diets…with stress….they are struggling with going to the bathroom on a regular basis, that’s why colon cancer is so much on the rise…“

Stop right there for a moment. See how casually he throws out these lies and unfounded statistics? That is why you shouldn’t trust this scum bag and it is why any grown adult who is selling this garbage should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves. He just makes up complete lies on the fly without batting an eye. I don’t know how any of you sleep at night – even P.T Barnum would be ashamed to go this far with his hucksterism.

Colon cancer is NOT “so much on the rise”. Colon cancer has been DECREASING STEADILY for DECADES. Nice try, Meatball. Even if colon cancer WAS an exploding epidemic, your shitty, overpriced laxative isn’t going to do anything about it, except line the pockets of Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts and dirty the toilets of a lot of gullible suckers.

This is how Meatball Fouts, the midget snake, operates all the time: FIRST he throws out a ridiculous, demonstrably false claim (“colon cancer is on the rise” or “the leading cause of weight gain is failure to pass waste from your body”) THEN he offers his shitty, overpriced pills and says they will solve this fake problem – even though there is ZERO evidence of that. He REPEATEDLY claims that the CorRenew laxative removes “toxins and chemicals” from your body. This is absolute bullshit. I have repeatedly requested by email ANY studies that have to prove any of these wild claims and they refuse to respond.

In fact, ALL “cleanses” and “detoxes” are absolute, unmitigated bullshit. Of this, there is no question or doubt in the scientific realm.

The midget makes up a fake problem then offers a fake solution. This is the very definition of a scum bag and a snake oil salesman. Look up “huckster” in the dictionary, and you should see a photo of the scumbag Jeremy Fouts there staring you in the face.

Never ONCE does Meatball Fouts utter the words “exercise” or “proper nutrition” or “see your doctor before taking our snake oil” or “get a complete blood workup” or ANYTHING a normal person would do if they were serious about improving their health.

Anybody who believes a word this slime ball says has a pea brain.

Mayor Talbert City Hall Vanity Project Delayed Yet Again – Due to Overpriced Elevator

Wow. What a difference a week makes!

Just a 14 days ago, Finley assured City Council that the elevator for the City Hall Boondoggle would “arrive in mid-March” and take a week or two to install.

Not anymore.

NOW, according to Finley and city council packets, “production for elevator equipment has been pushed back two to three weeks”. Seriously?!?!? The arrival time is now “projected for the first or second week of April…and crews will take approximately two to three weeks to install.”

You will recall, back on November 14th, 2016…City Council approved an elevator bid from RKJ Construction for $119,532…and which later ballooned to over $125,000 – despite that fact that Austin Elevator bid $96,600 for the exact same job. Former city council genius Chris Harrison made a motion to accept the inflated elevator cost because “[RKJ] is local”

Let’s all take a moment to thank our stars that Harrison is a FORMER council member now.

Production?? WTF? Are they JUST NOW building an elevator for the Lampasas-Misty-Talbert-Finley-DeGraffenreid-“WOW Factor” $1,500,000 City Hall Boondoggle which has been in the works for years? How is that possible??

So, despite paying an extra $30,000 for an elevator to “keep it local”, and despite the fact it was bid on OVER TWO YEARS AGO, it is STILL not ready! What?? You’re telling me it is being specially constructed as we speak? Last I checked, an elevator is a simple box and was invented a century ago, at the least. What is the hold up? Once again – you can blame former genius Councilman Chris Harrison for this one – he made the motion to piss away an extra $30k for a local elevator – and council rubber-stamped it unanimously…as usual.

Just another delay and cost-overrun for the bloated and ridiculous City Hall “WOW Factor” renovation which is the centerpiece of the Talbert Administration. I’m seriously shocked she is running again after this debacle. I’d go hide my head in the sand, if I were her.

How Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts Can Prove He is Not a Snake Oil Huckster

People ask why I have such vitriol for Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts and his snake-oil schemes. What do I care if a bunch of chumps get suckered by a huckster? No skin off my back, right?

To some extent, I don’t care. If somebody stays up late, sees an ad for an obvious boondoggle on TV like “The Thigh Master” and blows $40 then realizes it is a piece of garbage….well, they learned a cheap lesson and it ends there. Plus, you kind of brought it on yourself – the Thigh Master is more of a passive screw job.

Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts is a different kind of animal, however. A snake, to be exact. He makes wild promises of riches and being an “independent business owner” who badgers everyone in their social circle with outlandish and demonstrably false claims. He wants you to go and recruit other people into his scheme – not just buy a product from him. It’s all about the recruitment, not the product.

If Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts had actually invented revolutionary new products that led to incredible results, he could sell it like a normal person on a store shelf or Amazon or a health food store – where it would compete and presumably dominate the inferior products. The fact that he doesn’t do this speaks volumes. The “product” is mediocre, overpriced and secondary to his true aims – which is recruiting more suckers.

So this is an ACTIVE scam instead of a passive scam, like the Thigh Master.

Don’t believe me that it’s all about recruiting instead of product? Here is a snap shot from a meeting right here in town last month – sure looks like they are pushing the recruitment thing to me…it also is shaped very much like a pyramid:

Four people each recruit 4 people…then those 16 people recruit 4 people…etc, etc, etc. The people at the bottom of the pyramid will definitely get screwed – and the bottom gets bigger all the time. Which is why the FTC studies show that 99% of MLM participants lose money.

Google searches turn up loads of stories about poor suckers who get into MLMs and ruin their lives. Elderly people and single moms who believe slime balls like Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts and mortgage their homes, run up $20k in credit card debt, and have piles of unsold products in their garage – all because they believe the b.s. coming out of the mouths of a slime ball who told them they could make millions.

Meatball Fouts has been in the MLM game for a LONG time. He HAS to know that it ends badly for a majority of people…yet here he is, pushing b.s. stories about untold riches.

So….back to why I care. If I was in a crowded HEB in my small town surrounded by strangers and a rattlesnake came slithering into the store, I would feel the strong urge to yell “SNAKE!! Watch out!” even though I could just as easily walk away and keep my mouth shut. I mean, why would I care if a complete stranger gets bitten by a rattlesnake? I guess I’m just a big-hearted fool….plus it is totally normal human behavior. Only a complete pyscho WOULDN’T warn the strangers around him they are about to get bitten.

There are a few things Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts can do to prove he is not a snake-oil huckster preying on the gullible:

FIRST: Release an income disclosure statement for CorVive salespeople. I have requested one (twice) by email and gotten no response. If people really are all getting rich doing this, you’d think Meatball would be more than happy to show me the evidence.

I want to know the following:

  • Total distributors throughout the year
  • How the total distributor count is calculated (as of a certain date, using averages, or other methodology)
  • Number of new distributors during the year
  • Number of distributors who quit during the year (so you can calculate the churn rate)
  • Turnover rate
  • Number of distributors earning $0
  • Definition of “active” distributor
  • Total number of distributors at a supervisor or leader level (i.e. have recruited other distributors)
  • Total number of  “active” distributors at a supervisor or leader level
  • Amount of product purchased by each level of distributor for the year

I suspect the CorVive income disclosure statement would look very much like the Plexus income disclosure statement below (and all the other MLMs):

82.41% make average $300 per year

5.12% make average $1,707 per year

8.96% make average $3,778 per year

Right there, we are up to 96.5% of people make under $3,778 per year – and that does NOT include all expenses! Like hosting parties, paying for and driving to Plexus conventions, hotel rooms, “leadership retreats” (sound familiar??), etc. Hardly the vast riches promised by most MLMs.

SECONDLY: Show me the scientific studies (preferably double-blind) that prove many of the wild CorVive claims I hear. Claims like “this product removes toxins and chemicals” and “can help with ADHD”. Hell, show me ANY study of ANY CorVive product proving ANYTHING special about CorVive. I have requested these by email also: no response.

THIRDLY: Jeremy “Meatball” Fouts can explain to everyone why he left GenesisPURE, why GenesisPURE disappeared and was rebranded as LivePure and his relationship with Robert Lindsey Duncan – who paid a huge fine for pretending he was a doctor.

Until Meatball answers these reasonable questions, I will keep yelling “SNAKE!” to warn those around me of a predator in our midst.

Are You “Suffering” From Dehydration? Do This:

Drink some water.

The latest CorViver Eager Beaver product supposedly helps with the huge swaths of the American population who are unwittingly “suffering” from dehydration. They have a new (expensive!) product with a super cool edgy name…HYDR8! Get it?? They must be paying someone a lot of money for these super cool and hip names.

Anyways, they have plenty of expensive HYDR8 to sell you! Call now! Act fast! Probably cures ADHD, acne and enlarges your penis as well, knowing these hucksters’ usual crazy claims.

Or, you could just pour yourself a glass of free water…but then the huckster makes no money off of you [insert frowny emoticon here]

Here’s a fun fact: the root of the word “dehydrate” is “hydrate” – which literally means “to take up or combine with WATER”. Imagine that! So the easiest, simplest and most effective way to fight all that evil dehydration going around it to hydrate yourself….or literally drink some water, dummy!!

Are people dumb enough to shell out money for HYDR8 rather than sip some water? We shall see…..

Hilarious: Eager Beaver CorVive-er Gets Product Completely Wrong. Twice.

You gotta love it when people with ZERO expertise in a field and who literally joined the MLM cult yesterday start crowing about all the supposed health benefits of the magic beans they have to sell you…as if they are overnight experts in the field. I’ve seen some dumb stuff on Facebook, but this woman takes the proverbial gluten-free cake. To wit:

“I learned about hbh today, then I felt the affect it has on my body! Ya’ll, I can feel the oxygen in my legs! [unlikely – your body closely regulates your blood oxygen levels] No pain, no drawing [drawing???], no swelling! Do you have any of these issues? I know something that will help! Message me!”

The the next day…crowing about “hbh” once again!

“Any of my San Saba peeps interested in life-changing [she joined less than a week ago], cutting edge, nutritional products that’s won’t break the bank? [yes, they will] Look up hbh and see the benefits! Hit me up with questions!”

Ummmm…sweetie? It’s BHB (Beta-hydroxybutyrate) NOT hbh.

Wow.

THESE are the ding-dongs you think have all the answers? THESE are people you are just going to blindly believe making any ridiculous claim they invent on the fly? THESE are the people you trust with your health???

Also, CorVive very much frowns on making ludicrous health claims unless they are taken VERBATIM from their company literature.

Specifically, CorVive Policies and Procedures 8.1 Health Claims states:

No claims (which include personal testimonials) as to therapeutic, curative or beneficial properties (“Health Claims”) of any products offered by Company may be made except those specific claims contained in official Company literature. Such statements can be perceived as medical, drug claims, or natural health product claims.  Not only would such claims breach Company Policies and Procedures, but they potentially violate federal and provincial laws and regulations, including the federal Food and Drugs Act.

Also, CorVive Policies and Procedures 8.2 Product Claims states:

Partners may not make any other product claims or representations regarding Company products except those that are specifically contained in official Company literature.  Such claims or representations may only be repeated or republished in exactly the same format as that published by the Company and the claim must be republished in its totality. 

In particular, no Partner may make any claim or representation (“Product Claims”) regarding the following: (1) the performance, efficacy or life of Company products or services; (2) the testing of Company products or services; (3) testimonials or endorsements of Company products or services; and (4) any matter that would be false or misleading in a material respect.  Not only would such Product Claims breach Company Policies and Procedures, but they potentially violate federal and provincial laws and regulations, including the federal Competition Act.

Even Fouts’ trained-seal and dummy carnival barker James West (Cor200!!) knows that! He reads the “health effects” right off the bottles in his Video of Lies – never leaving the script!

For you to come out and make claims about reducing leg swelling and increasing blood oxygen saturation, well…let’s just say the company makes VERY clear that you are on your own and their insurance doesn’t cover you against civil lawsuits…and CorVive themselves may go after your ass. See Section 4.3:

Partners who violate Company intellectual property rights, produce unapproved sales and marketing aids (including Internet advertising), make improper Health Claims or Product Claims regarding CorVive products or Earnings Representations (as defined in section 9 below), or otherwise breach the Agreement may have their Agreement with CorVive terminated (described more fully in Section 4.6 below), as well as expose themselves to civil charges from the Company or third parties or to civil or criminal charges from government authorities.

You’d think all these “Independent Business Owners” [lol!!] babbling away on Facebook who are going to build an empire and get rich quick would at least read and understand the CorVive Policies and Procedures thoroughly. Owning a “business” and reading stuff is, like, HARD ya’ll!! So much easier to just fling handfuls of bullshit against the wall and see who buys it. Unfortunately, legitimate and ethical operations do not work that way.

CorVive Hucksters Throw Out More Crazy Claims

I recently saw a CorVive huckster make the following claim:

“For those of you who haven’t been feeling so good…if you mix the NRG [overpriced CorVive product] with warm water, a teaspoon of honey, and freshly squeezed lemon it helps. The honey is a great antimicrobial and the energy in the NRG helps loosen everything up!!”

Sounds like somebody has a garage full of overpriced magic beans to try and unload! Wow. Let’s examine this ludicrous statement.

“The energy in the NRG help loosen everything up!!” Not sure how that is physically possible, since there literally is NO energy in the NRG potion. Says right there on the label. Do you see any calories on the list? I sure don’t. Calories are energy. B6 is not energy. B12 is not energy. Caffeine is also not energy – it is a stimulant. Taurine is an amino acid – it is also found in Red Bull and other energy drinks…as are the huge doses of B vitamins and niacin. So – kinda all the same stuff found here in NRG.

Maybe this huckster brilliant nutritional expert meant the STIMULANT caffeine will help loosen everything up? How does it do that, exactly? And if it DOES (unproven at this time), then couldn’t you just do the same thing with a cup of warm tea or coffee, which literally cost pennies a serving and is probably sitting in your pantry as we speak? Pretty sure people have been doing that for hundreds of years.

Ah…but then the huckster caring CorVive expert couldn’t unload the pile of magic potion sitting in her garage at a 270% markup! Now I get it. Truly, they are a benevolent and caring cult. Just ask them! CorVive = love, serve, and care!! (yes, they have been using that line!).

MLM Cult Aspects

It is very funny to watch the MLM members circle the wagons to defend against any dissent, logic, reason or facts. This is EXACTLY what cult members do when someone tries to talk sense to them.

One of the reasons why MLM reps defend their company so passionately is that they use cult-like tactics to recruit and retain people, something MLM campaigner David Brear has long argued. Here are just some ways MLMs are like cults:

  • Just like a cult, MLMs offer the promise of a utopian-like existence (in this case making easy money working from home doing what you love, and making new friends).
  • Just like a cult many MLMs are led by a god-like figurehead, or have equally worshipped key figures high up.
  • Just like a cult they have unscientific, mysterious secrets to success (for example, mindset and the law of attraction). If you fail to be successful you’ll be told you had a negative mindset or just didn’t work hard enough – it’s always your fault, not the flawed model.
  • Just like a cult they encourage alienation from any dissenting voices, even from family and friends. So if a friend tries to make you see sense, you’ll be told they’re negative or jealous of your success.  [ya’ll just jealous haters!!]
  • Just like a cult they use unnecessarily complex structures to hide the truth of their business model. Hence PQVs and seemingly endless status levels, like ‘Purple’, ‘Diamond’ and ‘Crown Princess’. [or COR12, COR80 and COR200, lol]
  • Just like cults they use shame and fear to recruit. If you don’t join you’re a ‘wage slave’ trapped in a job you hate on the conventional work-retire-die treadmill.
  • Just like a cult they use fear to control. When one high status rep left, all her ‘friends’ in the MLM were warned not to talk to her. She was also discredited and slandered through the spreading of untrue rumors.
  • Just like a cult they have an authoritarian grip over their reps. If you question anything you’re shamed for not ‘believing’ or ‘trusting’.
  • Just like a cult they use the moral high ground as a cover or diversion – often by associating themselves with a charity or starting their own. [or maybe praying for all the evil, jealous haters!]
  • Just like a cult, MLM recruits often appear to go through a sudden change in personality. One example is the relentless positive social media posts they make. They are not allowed to be ‘negative’ (or even just real).

And finally, just like a cult, MLMs can only exist with unquestioning devotion. If you examine them using cold, hard facts [like their income disclosure statements – have any of you requested income disclosure statements from CorVive? I did. They refused to send me one] they just don’t make sense as a viable business proposition.

This is why they so often use emotion and deflection to shut down any argument. Just try to have an open, honest conversation with someone in an MLM, or the MLM themselves and you’ll discover how hard it is to get facts out of them!

Indeed, we have no doubt that if you show this to a friend in an MLM they’ll dismiss it as lies, rubbish or negativity. But ask them to factually rebut each point and they won’t be able to. They’ll tell you how amazing their own experience is, or that their MLM is different. But it’s not.

Summary from the linked article above:

  1. They rely on recruiting, not selling
  2. The MLM model makes it impossible for majority to make money
  3. MLMs offer worse odds than roulette
  4. MLMs incentivise their reps to buy from them
  5. MLMs need to constantly recruit to replace those who quit
  6. MLM reps are unpaid sales reps, not “business owners”
  7. MLMs are unregulated – you can’t know if they are a FRAUD
  8. MLMs damage relationships
  9. MLMs are very similar to pyramid schemes
  10. MLMs operate like cults

CorVive Clown Con-Man Carnival Barker Spewing B.S. Left and Right

It sure appears as if the carnival barkers at the top of the CorVive MLM pecking order are very comfortable spouting outright lies and also violating their own “Policies and Procedures” as listed here. 

I’ll give CorVive one thing: their “Policies and Procedures” was clearly written by an army of lawyers who want to protect the guys at the top from the Federal Trade Commission as well as any civil lawsuits from unhappy suckers.

He also appears to later violate Section 9 “Earnings Representations” – but we’ll get to that.

The offender is none other than a CorVive clown named James West, who carries the title Cor200. Much like the Scientology cult, CorVive members are moved up the ladder with these ridiculous numbers, which seem to denote how many other cult members he/she has recruited – people in town have publicly crowed about being “Cor4” and “Cor12” – so this James “Jimmy” West is obviously high up and got in on the CorVive scam early since he carries the august title of Cor200.

Jimmy West also intimates that he is close personal friends with the slime ball founder of CorVive Jeremy Fouts. In the video, West claims Fouts didn’t feel well and asked James West to do the Facebook presentation on January 15th at 6:31pm.

I will make my best attempt to link to the video or embed here – I DO have a preserved recording of the video on my personal phone in case somebody with an IQ over 85 realizes how bad this is and takes it down to avoid legal troubles.

The very first thing I have noticed about the carnival barker James West Cor200 is that all his videos are shot from a bizarre angle that only shows his head. I think this is because he is probably morbidly obese, and who the hell would buy nutritional supplements from a huge fat guy? Well, a lot of people, as it turns out. This town is full of them. But let’s get to his ridiculous health claims for these miracle products, shall we?

At the 3:14 mark of the video, James claims “68% of all women in the U.S. are overweight, and the number one reason: they’re not passing waste through their system…and that’s what the CorRenew [product] is gonna do it’s going help promote proper digestion…it helps remove toxins, chemicals, impurities, uh, uh, through proper, uh, elimination…uh..it helps support the immune function, guys, and I’m telling you, that product everybody needs, because I’m telling you, we don’t eat the right diets…we don’t have the right digestion.”

Holy christ!!! Can you jam more lies into a single run-on sentence? I doubt it. THIS is the kind of carnival-barking clown you trust with your health? These are all demonstrable lies….lies from a guy who appears to be near the top of this scheme and also good friends with the scum bag founder, Jeremy Fouts! So, tell me again how this ISN’T a giant scam? My god. If you are jumping in with this idiot, you need to have your head examined.

First of all, the leading cause of obesity is NOT “failure to pass waste through your system”. The cause is eating too much and not exercising enough. Period. NOWHERE in ANY scientific literature is the lead cause of people being fat “failure to pass waste” because “we don’t have the right digestion”. It’s not the second or third-leading cause either. It isn’t even on the list of causes. It is fabricated bullshit from a carnival barker and huckster running a nice scam. James West just made his first of many lies.

Luckily, James West the carnival barker has just the thing to get rid of all those unnamed “toxins, chemicals and impurities” – he just happens to be selling it! (I can’t tell you the price! PM me!). Please Jimmy…tell me what “toxins and chemicals and impurities” your CorVive product removes. Then tell me the mechanism of this removal. You can’t. Because it is a bald-faced lie.

“It supports the immune function, guys”. Really? Which part, Jimmy? Leukocytes? Lymphocytes? B-cells? T-cells? Can you even SPELL “T-cell”? NONE of these claims are supported by a shred of evidence…we just have to take Jimmy’s word for this.

“We don’t have the right digestion”. Ridiculous, outrageous and preposterous lie. I guess the human race has been digesting food incorrectly for tens of thousands of years and the CorVive product called CorRenew will correct this evolutionary oversight. Thank God a fat moron on YouTube informed me of this! He seems quite knowledgeable about biology and physics. I MUST overpay for this product…NOW…so I can “get in on the ground floor” of this fine company and join this gaggle of charlatans awesome team!

More Jimmy West b.s. coming soon!!
