  1. In this fashion my acquaintance Wesley Virgin's adventure starts in this shocking and controversial VIDEO.

    Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the government and others used to get anything they want.

    THESE are the exact same secrets lots of celebrities (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and top business people used to become wealthy and famous.

    You've heard that you use only 10% of your brain.

    That's because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps this expression has even occurred INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years back, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car with a suspended license and with $3 on his banking card.

    "I'm so frustrated with living payroll to payroll! Why can't I become successful?"

    You took part in those questions, isn't it right?

    Your very own success story is waiting to be written. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
