What happened to Arena Ethnobotanicals?
And My Story, The Story Of BotanicalGuides.com
Ezekiel 47:12 "And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."
Quick starter note: Here is a link to Arena Ethnobotanicals on the Internet Archives, so you can see what it looked like.
I used to be an affiliate marketer for Arena Ethnobotanicals, right around the same days that I first joined Bouncing Bear. I remember Arena had an advertisement in "USA TODAY". They sold blue lotus, kava, kanna, kratom, and hawaiian baby woodrose, salvia divinorum, among other things... It was an online headshop basically. I have inside information about them as well, and how they were discriminated against, lied to, and told that they couldn't do something that WASN'T ILLEGAL. Because of me being in communication with these vendors, and lots of them, I have this inside information. Arena ethnobotanicals told me one time, that the FDA came into their shop, and bold face told them that they couldn't sell kratom anymore, that it was "like morphine". Of course there response was, "but kratom is not illegal and everyone else on this block is selling it.." Of course it was a lie that the they couldn't sell kratom anymore... It being "like morphine" is not the same as it being "illegal". I can't believe the nerve of some people.
The socialist are occult groups and organized crime, which apparently go hand and hand. They're like wolves in sheeps clothes. They're in the police, DEA, FBI, IRS, FDA, all branches of the government ( proof: link1 link2 link3 link4 ) The satanic temple is involved in organized crime, the freemasons(they're the worlds oldest and largest occult group[cult/secret society]), and neo nazis ( and related groups ). You like how I back everything up on here? I became a whistle blower and informant for the FBI when these criminal cults pulled a bait and switch operation on me. They baited me with 400kg from a vendor that I regularly got packages from. It turns out they were illegally raided ( edens ethnos ), and the socialist sent large shipments to everyone on their mailing list as a trap(entrapment). Long story won't go into all of it, but bottom line these occult losers(and simps) are cheating, and pulling some pirate b.s. They want to convince their victims that they're them, and theirselves that they are their victims. They flip their victims upside down like they do the cross.
Anyway, eventually Arena shut down or went out of business ( I believe it was during the planned-demic too. or right around that time ) I remember talking to them around the end of their operation, and they told me about a new project they had going on. They were selling large bags of hawaiian baby woodrose seeds. That project was called "captain _____(something)", (I forget the name) Anyway, them, botanicalspirit, Bouncing Bear Botanicals, Edens Ethnos, Meridian Botanicals, and me (botanicalguides.com was my project back in those days), they came after all of us. I was the only one who had yet to reach self made millionaire status. I was like the rest of these guys, but in my early days of operation, and coming up in the world. The rest of them were way further ahead than me. Throughout the entire duration of my operation, (in the first 6 years specificially, I was basicallly shut down in 6 years.) I had my gofundme, dwolla, payoneer, paypal, and other online electronic financial services wrongfully taken away from me for whatever mysterious "reason" or in this case, b.s. excuse, is unknown. It was to slowly shut down my business, that was the purpose.
By 2016, my facebook account had been deleted. After shutting down all of my abilities to recieve payments, they then deleted my facebook, because at this point I'm getting checks, cash in the mail, money orders, and stuff like that. So basically, my business was ruined in 2016. I was selling kratom on the side to my followers over my facebook account back then, and I was making good money just flipping kratom on the side of working on my affiliate site for Bouncing Bear and Arena Ethnobotanicals. The only reason that I didn't make it an official business and just sell it through my site, or start a shop of my own is the government stirring up fear about it being potentially banned. I was trying to keep it small and be smart, didn't want to wind up in federal prison, so I tried to keep it small enough so that if I had to get rid of it, I could just flush it down the toilet or something, because it would be a small enough reasonable enough amount to get rid of, vs a warehouse full. Immediately following this happening to me, I start working on my website and decided I was going to make it, make money. I knew the worth, and I knew I was getting ripped off, and I knew that somewhere out there, was someone honest, who would be thrilled to pay me what its worth to make a ton of money off of my services, and not rip me off, and pay me right.
I finally found that someone and I think it was in 2015/2016. I was recruited by a big millionare out on the west coast named Jeff who owned a string of kratom businesses and ethnobotanical shops online. He ran soul specioes, phytoextractum, soul speciosa, krataom kratom, and some other names. He was paying me right. I was making some decent coin with me, almost $1,000 per check and climbing ( The checks went like $4xx, $5xx, $6xx, as I added more and more of his ads, while replacing old ones that didn't pay from jits who were ripping me off.. ( by the way Bouncing Bear Botanicals was ripping me off... I earned way more than what they were willing to pay me, and most entrepaneurs will take advantage of you, and gaslight you while telling you that your sites not making any money, but it is. Anyway, I was getting an extra $100 on top of everything I earned from them, as part of our agreement ( they straight up asked me to "name my price", I was flattered. ) He also alotted me to $100 free product every month, which I could sell in my shop or at the flea market. So basically, between the $6xx biggest check I was getting, plus the $100 ( that's $700, and then the $100 free product, that's $800 a month. ) so let's just round it up to $1,000 per pay period. I estimate that it would have doubled, tripled, quadroopled even, after I finished putting up all of his ads, and replacing old ads for entrepaneurs who were ripping me off...
Before I could really even get my largest check with them my operation with them was sabotaged by some pirates at their shop, in the FBI(that lied to him), and I was booted from the program because of the trap(the kratom the DEA sent to me after illegally raiding Edens Ethnos). Phyto found out and they kicked me out of the program. So basically I was entraped with this large 400 kilo order that didn't belong to me from a shop that just got raided. They did it to make me look suspecious, like I was involved in some sneaky legal yet criminal crime plot. The secret behind this trap was the local freemasons and satanic temple, and neo nazis who had it sent here to ruin my reputation, get me kicked out of the program, and so they could steal it. An FTC rule said I could keep it, so I did. It was a trap. They snuck over here and stole 12 50 pound bricks in 2019, and left 4 boxes. They were feeding me marked bills and going to get me for tax evasion I think. The whole rule about importing is just a lie and a trick they use to screw people they envy and hate, and while running protection for their buddies. The kratom market is full of toe stomping, vendors selling stolen stuff ( they're selling Edens Ethnos stolen kratom right now! ), and haters sabotaging others projects. Only buy from Indonesia! My website was also hit with negative seo attack.
It took me ten years to get to where I was, and my project had even already got me laid and attracted babes. It was ruined by a gang of bullies, the satanic temple, neo nazis, and freemasons here locally in the SRCSO, FBI, and DEA. It's a cool story though and I feel like a big shot. I feel like I am a millionaire, I was just reset and wrongfully destroyed, entraped, attacked, slandered, abused, and sabotaged. I feel accomplished however, and I know that I did it, and I know if they hadn't taken all that away, my ability to accept money online, my facebook that had all my customers on it, and my affiliate with phyto, and they hadn't sabotaged my shop (star-botanicals.com that I started around 2019 which was going to be my multimillion dollar future ethnobotanical business) [literally I did, it, I was on my way to being like bouncing bear and Eden, meridian botanicals and the rest of them... you know? this was my shop, it was my turn, "star botanicals" it was. but by then, I had had my entire operation stolen from me one inch at a time... starting with my gofundme, dwolla, paypal, payoneer, ability to accept credit cards, my facebook(which was my whole business then, I was completely reset), and they woulnd't let me have credit card processing. If you want to make millions online, you have to have credit card processing.
I was also working with Dads GreenHouse , ran by this dude Shaun who was an entrepaneur who helped Bouncing Bear get a hold of live kratom plants in the first place. Me and Bouncing Bear were the only two people on the internet who had a page that would show up for the search phrase "buy live kratom plants". We were the OG's. and it was Shaun that traveled to Indonesia to get him those genetics, those seeds. So I worked with some people that were a big deal, and still are, even if they were hated upon, discriminated against, and ganged up on by bully haters in the government. and I was right behind them coming up in the world. I would have absolutely became a millionaire just like them. but my project got stomped out really quick, and I was working on it during a time when america was under attack(the planned-demic), and when other shops were getting shut down through sabotage. This wasn't just me that was attacked, remember that. Me, Edens Ethnos, Meridian Botanicals, Bouncing Bear Botanicals, Arena Ethnobotanicals, BotanicalSpirit.com, and a slew of other shops all were put out of business by means of sabotage, financial sabotage, and social media oppression(ie people having their pages and accounts deleted[which is a big deal because that's how you make transactions, that's how I was getting orders because I was taking them manually)
You can pull up any of their old websites on something called the Internet Archives, or the "Way Back Machine", at web.archive.org I link to them at the bottom of every page. They have an archiver tool as well called the "save tool", make use of it. It's a socialist worst nightmare. Because of the internet archives, I can prove to people that these shops exist, and share real evidence and show that all of these guys went under during the planed-demic.
