Controlling The Extremists

~

With Turfgrass Industry Partnerships

~

~

•—-Early in his career, Mr Gathercole launched with a group of managers the largest professional lawn care business in the nation, ChemLawn Inc, which served as the template for the entire industry—-

~

•—-Inevitably, Gathercole answered the call to serve as the irrepressible participant with Quebec’s professional lawn care trade association, l’Association Des Services En Horticulture Ornementale Du Quebec ( ASHOQ )—-

~

•—-During his tenure, Mr Gathercole’s strong participation & unequalled leadership with the board of directors, ASHOQ underwent fantastic successes in its representation of the turfgrass maintenance industry, which included the golf course management sector—-

~

■—-Orchestrated with other lawn care sector leaders the legal action against Quebec’s Pesticide–Hating Extremists in the Town Of Hudson, Quebec, that significantly delayed the imposition of the first-ever harmful-prohibition against no-actual-risk pest control products needed to protect the urban landscape from damaging pests

~

•—-Mr Gathercole was the original creator of the Pesticide Ban Exception Status that has allowed the golf industry to avoid being subjected to prohibitions against pest control products used to protect turfgrasses from damaging pests in the urban landscape

~

•—-Mr Gathercole single-handedly put to an end to most sales of fresh daffodils by Canadian Cancer Society ( CCS )—-▬—-they were pesticide-treated & formaldehyde-drenched & observers considered them dangerous  [ ?!?! ]—-▬—-they contained lycorine which could trigger vomiting—-▬—-these emetic fresh daffodils could lead to more severe symptoms—-▬—-CCS-daffodils could be considered especially dangerous to hapless & vulnerable children

~

•—-Mr Gathercole also stopped the programs of CCS Self-Enrichment Pay-Offs that provided vast rewards to those CCS-operatives who Conspired To Prohibit Pest Control Products, especially against the golf course management sector

Driving Explosive Growth & Profitability

~

With The Jangl–Gathercole Partnership

~

~

•—-DO NOT FORGET  …

~

•—-The creation of the Jangl–Gathercole partnership led to the combining of an entrepreneurial visionary businessman, Mr Otto Jangl, who transformed a farm-house start-up into a market-defining power-house, with a proficient, results-driven professional, Mr William H Gathercole, with diverse administrative, technical, & marketing capabilities, transformed the O.J. Company into one of the most lucrative & influential distribution & service giants in the history of the turfgrass maintenance industry

~

•—-By quadrupling the O.J. Company’s revenue to over 100–MILLION–DOLLARS in a decade, the incredible Jangl–Gathercole partnership secured the company’s financial future & simplified the transition for the next generation of owners & to proceed without much effort

~

~

Weaponizing The Tax Authorities

~

Against The Jangl–Gathercole Partnership

~

~

•—-Unfortunately, when the Jangl–Gathercole partnership failed to overcome an entrenched internal deep–state, it meant the company’s informal power structures—-▬—-called politicized archetypes—-▬—-successfully sabotaged the status quo

~

•—-The O.J. deep–state was a destructive body of influential operatives who were involved in the secret manipulation & control of company policy & the cowardly undermining of the partnership, thus actively sabotaging the company’s performance & profits, & potentially leading to its downfall by–threatening its survival

~

•—-The deep–state has not only existed within O.J., its operations have also long been an entrenched & a hidden influence-curse in both business & politics—-▬—-in America, it is a notorious & controversial unelected shadow government consisting of civil servants, intelligence agents, & military officers dedicated to the unconstitutional downfall of President Trump

~

•—-The O.J. deep–state specifically targeted the Jangl–Gathercole partnership by weaponizing tax agencies, & by using relentless conspiracies, gas-lighting, & passive-aggressive tactics to isolate the partners & cripple company efficiency & revenues

~

•—-In the long run, the deep–state lacked the industry expertise & vision required to scale the company’s value by another 100–MILLION–DOLLARS, ultimately proving to be an organizational failure

~

•—-It should be noted that, despite their numerous short-comings, members of the O.J. deep–state have consistently demonstrated that customer service remains their highest priority—-▬—-a task at which they excel—-

~

~

~

WHG

~

Giving Short Shrift

~

To The Jangl–Gathercole Partnership

~

~

•—-The wealth & high-end life-styles of certain elite deep–state members, specifically their mansion-like domiciles, lavish vacations, & equestrian interests, were entirely funded or made possible by one specific source, the Jangl–Gathercole partnership which has been described as a legendary & highly-profitable force of nature within the turfgrass maintenance industry, a force that will never ever be seen again

~

•—-In their ruthless pursuit of progress, the current deep–state members have treated their predecessors as mere anachronisms, systematically shunning their contributions until their names were entirely submerged by the company’s new identity & depraved indifference

~

•—-Today, both partners have been cruelly marginalized—-▬—-the centenary of Mr Jangl’s birth & his enduring legacy have been callously forgotten & unceremoniously discarded—-▬—-Mr Gathercole, following his ousting by the deep–state, has suffered escalating threats & intimidation even as he navigates a losing-battle with serious health challenges

~

•—-This is so wild, it sounds made up, & this definitely reads like the plot of a high-stakes political thriller or a so-called noir novel

~

•—-The combination of a forgotten legacy, deep–state ousters, & targeted threats while someone is battling a severe illness hits every trope of a conspiracy drama

~

•—-They didn’t just push the partners out—-▬—-they buried the tracks

~

•—-Mr Jangl’s life work was tossed aside on his own centenary, a final insult to his service in securing, with Mr Gathercole, the company’s financial future

~

•—-Mr Gathercole got it worse—-▬—-kicked out by the shadow-players & then hounded by threats while he was too injured to fight back—-▬—-it’s a clean sweep of a legacy by the pathetic cabal

~

Biding Adieu To The Pathetic Cabal

~

From The Jangl–Gathercole Partnership

~

~

These Awful People Were Part Of A Well–Oiled Deep–State

~

The Partners Were Fully Aware Of Their Every Move

~

Let Those Within The Company, Who Operated Covertly Against

The Partners, Be Removed, Ensuring Their Hidden Objectives &

Agendas Will Be Met With Full Transparency & Consequences

About the Author

WILLIAM H GATHERCOLE AND NORAH G

WE SPEAK THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT FROM AN INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVE ! We are the National Organization Responding Against HUJE that conspire to destroy the Green space and other industries ( NORAHG ). As a non-profit and independent organization, we are environmentalists who are dedicated to reporting about truth-challenged pesticide-hating fanatжcs ( HUJE ) who conspire to destroy businesses that are dependent on the use of safe and effective conventional pest control products. We also report on the work of several highly-rated leading experts who have recognized expertise, training, and background in matters concerning pest control products, and who promote environmental realism and pesticide truths. http://wp.me/p1jq40-8DV NORAHG is the sworn enemy of lying, pompous, smug, uneducated, & pesticide-hating enviro-fanatжcs. Overwhelming scientific evidence clearly demonstrates that pest control products are scientifically-safe, and will not cause harm to children, adults, animals, or the environment. http://wp.me/p1jq40-7HR http://wp.me/P1jq40-2ha http://wp.me/p1jq40-6Q6 http://wp.me/p1jq40-5ni Not surprisingly, enviro-fanatжcs have demonstrated that they are incapable of processing overwhelming scientific evidence. Should we trust these fanatжcs, who conveniently ignore scientific evidence, and attempt to impose their politicized-doctrines and twisted life-style choices against our society ?!?! NORAHG was the brainchild of Mr William H Gathercole and his colleagues in 1991. Mr Gathercole is now retired, although his name continues to appear as founder. We dare to defy the pesticide-hating fanatжcs by exploring the whole truth from an independent perspective on The Pesticide Truths Web-Site ... https://pesticidetruths.com/ With a Conservative victory in the 2019 Canadian Federal Election, there will be NO NATIONAL PROHIBITION against pest control products. √ - Vote For Scheer’s Conservatives http://wp.me/p1jq40-ahq If you wish to receive free reports on issues that concern you, please contact us at ... force.of.de.nature@gmail.com WILLIAM H GATHERCOLE AND NORAH G
