President of Emerald Passport Resigns Protesting neo-Nazi Links

The president of Emerald Passport, Jaime Figueroa, did the only honorable thing left after Bananama Republic exposed the involvement in that organization of former Canadian Ku Klux Klan leader and convicted criminal James McQuirter, and resigned as of today.
Figueroa did not know that the man he knew as "James Alexander" was in fact the infamous Canadian neo-Nazi and white supremacist McQuirter; something we have been able to verify from other sources as well.
In fact, at the time McQuirter was added to the ranks of Emerald Passport, the president was not Figueroa but Alonso de la Guardia, a dual Panamanian/US citizen who operates Palmetto Realty, a real estate outfit.
Here's what Figueroa just wrote us:
Today I resigned as President of Emerald Passport, a position which is not involved in the day-to-day operations, but is purely ceremonial.
I became aware of the true identity of James Alexander McQuirter on Saturday through your observation.
I did not hire nor invite Mr. McQuirter to the conference there last week. As I mentioned, my position in Emerald Passport was purely ceremonial and my resignation is a result of this incident. I thank you for making me aware of the circumstances.
In my Christian Panamanian upbringing I uphold the belief that all men and women are created equal. Not only do I uphold the belief but I have friends and acquaintances in Panama and around the world of all national origin, races and religions who can attest to my beliefs.
A prudent decision, we think.

I met him once and he seemed like a great guy. What a shock. It's also a great blow to all of the honest people that work hard every day for Emerald Passport.
You sure can't judge a book by its' cover!

what about your herbalife involvement as mentioned in your bio?
http://www.panamaallinone.com/jaime.htm
check out some of these articles about herbalife on respected cult expert, Rick Ross' website.

maybe you should resign from this questionable organization also?
Read Robert Kyosaki's best selling book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" then maybe you'll understand that Network Marketing is the future for those wanting to be their own boss and control their own future.
Knocking these companies displays sheer ignorance on the part of the writer(s).
Yes, there have been scams in MLM - just as there have been in MANY corporations and governments!
Educate yourself and you'll feel like a moron bashing these companies. There are hundreds of books out there that prove you wrong.
Shame on this writer bashing something they don't understand and hurting hard-working, innocent distributors!
At least with Herbalife we know what they sell, some protein powder stuff and miscellaneous snake oil shit that's supposed to make you lose weight or whatever.
BUT WHAT ABOUT EMERALD PASSPORT?
WHAT DO THEY SELL?
WHAT ARE YOU SELLING, DIANE?
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE DISTRIBUTING?
WHAT ARE YOU HIDING, DIANE?
BE A GOOD CHRISTIAN AND BE HONEST, DIANE!
Whichever, my life is too blessed and busy to ever deal with you again or waste my time. I will pray for James and his alleged KKK involvement.
I was simply trying to be a decent person, give James the benefit of the doubt, since people do change every day.
And, last but not least protect the hard working, honest, distributors in EPI/HerbalLife/SendOutCards and a plethera of Network or MLM companies who have their hearts, souls and minds in the right place, i.e., helping others..and making an HONEST living.
Bashing without an obvious reason leaves much to the imagination - someone with an ax to grind, a KKK mask to hide, bitterness at their own failures, whatever!
I'll be glad to talk in a kind, decent manner publicly or privately. I do pity someone with such anger EXPRESSING THEIR DISMAY IN CAPS AND ATTACKING MY CHRISTIANITY (You don't know me..,maybe I'm a good Jewish person or worship idols or an athiest who donates to charity - what does it matter to you? and yes, I worship Jesus Christ - so what? Why would you EVEN bring that up?
So, I must end this ridiculous bantering. I feel GOOD ABOUT WHO I AM, WHAT I DO, AND WHAT I BELIEVE IN. Grab a mirror, anonymous basher. You probably won't like what you see.
God bless you and goodbye. And just in case you are KKK - I LOVE OBAMA!!!! Thank God, USA is finally truly diverse and united!
Seriously, God Bless you and goodbye (unless of course you'd like to come out from your anonymous mask!)
Anyone who questions what Emerald Passport sells is a KKK member or, at the very least, an unsuccessful entreprenuer Or just an EGO (Edging God Out) maniac or a sad, angry, person.
You don't know me..,maybe I'm a good Jewish person or worship idols or an athiest who donates to charity

Making a comment that anyone that questions Emerald Passport is a KKK member
especially since we all know that one of their executives was or is a kkk leader
is a rather stupid accusation
I myself question what this company is selling but am not a KKK member
Perhaps as a Proud American you should
go back home and take your MLM schemes back with you
