Kevin Trudeau: Time To Fight Back

From this thread.

It seems that there are a few people on the forum that have been personally affected (Negatively of course) by Kevin Trudeau and his book. I think it's time that something was done about it.

Let's get some ideas on starting up a website dealing with exposing Kevin Trudeau. I have been a Web programmer for about 10 years, so I would definately be willing to put some time into development. I could also do some content; Unfortunately my father even has a subscription to Kevin Trudeau's website which I could get some information from.

I think some important points to keep in mind for such a site would be:
1) Keep it as anonymous as possible. This would mean not discussing domain names on this board, and not registering the domain name as someone who would be traceable.
2) Stick to the facts. However tempting it would be to get emotional about the situation, it would definately hurt the position.
3) Get the website a very high ranking in Web search results.

Any ideas? Is it feasible, or would we be too worried about the army of lawyers?

I know the idea has been discussed for Mr. Lancaster's new site, but the way I see it, the more the merrier.
 
Are there any existing websites attempting to accomplish the same? Don't want to reinvent the wheel if we can lend our efforts to someone that has a headstart.

For starters, www.skepdic.com
has a section about him.

Also: www.quackwatch.org

The American Council on Science and Medicine also has a blurb about him:

http://www.acsh.org/factsfears/newsID.647/news_detail.asp


Of course, the idea is to collect as much information on him as possible, and condense it all into one comprehensive website. I think these links should give you a good headstart. Other than than, count me in, and good luck!

Oh, oh, oh....

Check out http://www.stopkaz.com/

It was discussed at TAM4 by the creator who also wrote about his efforts for Randi to use in his commentary, Hal Introduces Robert Lancaster, Stopping Kaz.

Also there is a thread discussing the next direction Lancaster should go in. Touch base with him and at the very least get ideas and link to each others site. I'll help in anyway I can.
 
I think you need a specific site targeted solely at Trudeau. If you need someone who can't be intimidated by litigation to represent the site I can easily do that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Trudeau

However googleing shows that there is already no shortage of negative sites out there.
 
What's the legality of such a site? Presumably, any website that states the facts cannot be stopped by his lawyers? Any legal eagles here who know what the dangers might be? Kaz didn't sue RSL, but she doesn't have Kev's money...
 
Hmmmm... The Wikipedia article is very comprehensive. Lots of good information in there, though perhaps not as 'neutral' sounding as what is required.

I just wish that there was easily accessible information that people like my father could find while doing a search that does not sound as though it was written by 'them'.

Top hit on google is quackwatch followed by the ftc ruleing followed by another barret site. The results couldn't be much more nedative for Trudeau.
 
I'm guessing there's already pleanty of websites exposing this guy for the fraud that he is but I'm not sure. Good luck with that.
 
That if there's already websites pertaining to the deception of Kevin Trudeau then he could probably avoid legal trouble since he hasn't taken legal action against any of them. But after a google search I can't find any; just articles that are calling him a fraud. Maybe some were shut down.

Ah, I getcha. We need some evidence for that though, we could say "maybe" to a whole bunch of things otherwise.
 
Trudeau Invasion

Speaking of Mr. Trudeau, I happen to find myself in a bit of a dilemma.
My high school American Government A.P. class recently listened to a speaker in are high school library. As my class and I were departing, I happened to glance over towards the bookcases labeled "new books" and to my amazement and horror I saw Trudeau's horrid piece of fiction, Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About resting comfortably on the top shelf!:jaw-dropp

Since this is one of the reasons I joined this forum, I was wondering how I might go about getting this piece of garbage removed from a library I had previously held in high regard.

You could try writing to the library with some choice quotes about the reality of Trudeau's claims, and some links to, say, his Wikipedia entry, as it's not obviously 'anti', but is truthful.

Would you consider not posting in large font? It makes your post very hard to read as it's so 'in your face', it would be a shame for a good post to go unread because of something like that :)
