In fact, as I have repeated many times, the job was far far worse that originally expected, you have a dedicated group of people trying to undo and damage you, including now, they have started up in the last week full force again, as it is obvious that they can't fux with your wiki page any more as we blocked that.. The woman from the Daily Beast. We have programs that track this stuff, and so, for the past few days, Mike has been having a cyber war with her minions, who are actively trying to undo what we are doing, as she is trying to push her Daily beast and other articles back up. So, we have to go back and push them back down. Then, there was the issue of trying to create additionally on you a positive web presence, with the science and org sites. I spend literally four months of non-stop work, creativity, and my own political capital to getyou this so far, which saved you not only time, but countless dollars, and isn't something that can be readily bought. I had people working also for free. I gained access to information that standard seo companies don't have. In addition, I wasted a lot of time talking to people who promise to help, but end up providing nothing, and so, I end up having to do it myself. What do I get in return, constant back slapping to my head... We were trying to fix up your mess. I didn't create it. Just thought it would be something to help. ‘This was NEVER about trying to pull money out of you, and fact, we have don't everything possible to keep the costs down considerably. I must talk to you about the island thing asap. When can we do that?

You have only one negative article left on front page of google, which is the Huffington Post article. The Huffington Post is extremely hard to move, because it is so powerful, has millions of links to it, and uploads massive new and original content it on a daily basis with posting from out side readers. We managed to push it down the page, as it used to be at the top. If we were able to post original content to both the science and the org site (absolutely not a single word to this day by Jessica, just talk), we would have been able to push it down even further, and off the page. WE did manage to get rid of the daily beast article, which is now far removed, inspite of their own efforts to keep it prominent. Toxic suggested search engine terms that popped up automatically when you typed in your name are also now removed.
