The cat so fast he's a streak 
If you are a dramatard of a certain vintage (though there are news reports of this scam still appearing in 2023[1]) you have likely received some spam mail about some secret society or secret method or an anecdote about someone using said tactics to become rich and famous. This mail offers you some sort of free pamphlet which will divulge these secrets in exchange for your mailing address. Do this and you will get a pamphlet which just make more promises and tell you to buy more books for absurd prices. You will then continually get more male selling books at very inflated costs of 150$ to 700$ a book.
This spam empire is built off the back of one schizo named Frank R. Wallace, real name Wallace Ward, and is being continued by his son Mark Hamilton, real name Wallace Ward. F Wallace was a research chemist at DuPont until he quit over a declining stock price he blamed on bad ideology. He then moved into self help publishing with [Poker: A Guaranteed Income for Life by Using the Advance Concepts of Poker] a book where F Wallace purports to teach you how to win every poker game without cheating via lying, hypnosis, and picking the proper opponents.
This would later be expanded into a philosophy called Neo-Tech/Neo-Think/Zonpower which is an unearthly mix of Objectivism, Scientology, and Posadists. F Wallace has written tons of books of the subject many of which have been renamed, combined, or rewritten alot of times. At least in the 90s the primary text of the movement seemed to be The Neo-Tech Discovery[2].
The core of Neo-Tech philosophy is pretty standard objectivism but with more technobabble. The central idea is about neocheating which is just a fancy way of saying lying. So capitalism is based on reason and reason is truth and all forms of mysticism are "neocheats" to trick people into giving away money ("Give me money and authority because I am holy and God says so" "Give me money and power so I can help the poor" ect ect). To counter this you need to follow "fully integrated honesty" or just not lying. He adds in a bit of Dr. Julian Jaynes Bicameral mind theroy to explain why humans seem so drawn to those neocheating mystics. The only real interesting chapter is chapter 4[3] where he talks about how Dupont's stock prices fell due to them chasing altruistic ideology over creating valuable products (or in modern chud language "go woke get broke"). This is mostly just randian pro capitalism but F Wallace has some first hand business experience which gives him perspective Rand doesnt have. Chuds may also like learning HR woman nonsense is a universal problem among business. he is also very obsessed with humans becoming scientifically imortal. He also puts this very funny table at the end:
There are many more neo-tech books like Neothink which teaches you how to think outside of the Bicameral mind and Neo-Tech Cosmic Business Control by Mark Hamilton which outlines a future business model which removes neo cheating bosses and HR women. The model was used for Wallace and son Wallace's Neo-Tech Publishing (NTP) Company called Integrated Management Associates which basically runs on MLM on principles where everyone is their own boss and probably explains why neo tech affiliated people send so much spam.
The true magnum opus of the Neo-Movement is Zonpower where he reveals that following neo-think will let you become an all powerful Zon and also that any civilization that has nuclear power and space shits has to follow Neo-tech as any non neo tech civilization will nuke itself. He also rants about "goy politics" and criminal minded goyium [4]
Neo-Tech became somewhat popular in the early days of the internet and usenet groups with users having their own email list and group with members frequently spamming other groups with 
posts[5] and also causing so much shit on the objectivist and philosophy groups that all talk of neo-tech had to be banned [6].
Why Neo-Tech Sandbagged the Objectivist "Leaders"
As previously done with selected officials in government along with certain white-collar-hoax businesspeople, Neo-Tech sandbagged various self-proclaimed leaders and strutting authorities on the Internet as part of the world's biggest poker game. On the Objectivist newsgroup (apo), Neo-Tech sandbagged its flamers along with many ersatz Objectivists. Thus, through those sandbagged dupes, Neo-Tech achieved its apo agenda. ...The results of that agenda will be published in the forthcoming book titled Flame-War Justice to be released in 1997 by Neo-Tech Worldwide.
Is part of the Neo-Tech agenda to "convert" apo Objectivists into Neo-Tech Objectivists? No. Such an agenda is much too narrow and minor -- a waste of time. Neo-Tech instead sandbags self-appointed leaders and false authorities who are harmful to advancing Objectivism.
It seems like Neo-Tech planned on ever publishing a book about these flame war tatics.
Other drama came when F Wallace was tried for 3 charges of tax evasion and insisted on using his own custom oath which replaced mention of truth with his own term "fully integrated Honesty" while he was intally denied this and charged on all 3 counts in 1991. He appealed on the basis of being denied his first amendment rights to religion (but F Wallace I thought religion was neocheating!) and was allowed to use his special oath in a 1993 re trial. He was again convicted on 3 accounts of tax fraud. [7] It turns out saying "I agree to tell the fully integrated honesty and nothing but the fully integrated honesty" doesn't make you innocent.
Other classic Neo-Tech moments include when Batman writer Alan Grant and artist Norm Breyfogle created a 4 issue miniseries about the villain Anarky who originated as a leftist ancom but in this miniseries became a neo-tech supporter due to Alan Grant being very into the philosophy. Neo-Tech was a popular ideology online and comic people were more likely to be online then. In an interview with some neo-tech people Grant laments that
for political reasons, Batman had to, well being the hero, had to beat Anarky who is looked on by the DC people as being a villain. So Anarky was wrong and confessed…[8]
Breyfogle seemed less interested and simply looked at it as a modernization of objectivism: [9]
I had more input on Anarky than many of the other characters we developed because we spent so much time on it and because we were involved in discussions concerning Anarky's philosophy - which is really Alan Grant's philosophy. I learned a lot from those discussions and of course I see lots of truth in objectivity (Anarky is an objectivist); I'm a modern western male, after all! Alan was calling his philosophy ‘Neo-tech' but it's basically a modernized version of Objectivism, which was Ayn Rand's philosophy.
Now, I think the very term ‘Objectivism' implies an outlook that's kind of one sided because there's also Subjectivism, and they're both true in their own realms; they both exist. In our discussions I was always trying to balance Alan's arguments with the opposite point of view, which in my view also has merits. That did feed its way into the stories to some degree, especially near the end when I had more ideas for Anarky's life.
The rational wiki falsely claims that introducing Neo-Tech ideology into the book caused sales to dip and for it to be cancelled after 4 issues which is disingenuous as it was solicited as a 4 issue miniseries and Anarky was so popular in the 90s he ended up getting his own ongoing monthly series in 1999 off the back of a highly successful trade compilation of his past appearances.
Following the death of F Wallace, his son Wallace Ward Jr., became the face of the organization using his trademarked nick name Mark Hamilton who is really playing up the trashy pimp guru vibes of the organisation.
Hamilton continues the spam empire under the neothink society and the 12 visions party. The political party of neo think which takes its name from the book The Nouveau Tech Package of Miss Annabelle's Secrets: Neo Tech Secret Society, Earth's First Immortals where a woman named Miss Annabelle has super smart kids that solve all the worlds problems and rule america using a 12 visions vanguard party. The whole party blatantly calls itself a get quick rich scheme that will make everyone rich! [10] Other products by Hamilton include a 7400 page book for $196 [11].
Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales used to be a usenet Neo-Techer so he made a cry post about how trolls were desecrating the memory of his great father on wikipedia! [12]
In the comments here we can see a ride of die 2023 neo tech Trumper named ted hosfer
Let no one ever forget that it was the Neo-Cheating owner of Wikipedia (Jimmy Wales) who made it his mission to suppress conservative viewpoints – especially during the Donald J Trump years.
His frequent request for “donations” is met (at least with me) with non-participation. How he can ask for money, while simultaneously spit on contributors is pretty outrageous. Lack of donations and support is the consequence of ALIENATING more than half of your audience.
Who thinks magatards and neo-tech believers make up 50% of the wikipedia user base LOL.
In 2023 Hamilton did an interview to some journos doing a basic scam callout on the secret society stuff with some pretty funny lines [1]
Ward told me that he believes his critics haven't taken the time to study his materials.
In our interview he acknowledged that it's inappropriate to send such letters to the elderly, and he vows that he's trying to cull the mailing lists he buys to attract a younger audience. But the lists, he says, are mostly populated by the elderly. Old school.
“I haven't been able to figure out how to market this online,” he confesses. “I've tried over and over again to target younger people, but I haven't been able to make that work through direct mail at this point in time.”
In his prime, he sent out 20,000 letters a month. Now, he feels lucky if he can get 2,000 out each month.
you can only make money via stupid old people yet you arent trageting old people via this scam.
That is the funniest thing about Neo-Tech is that it has some sort of strange rabid fanbase/bot army/alt army to defend it. On any video, even recent, ones talking about the scam you find atleast one r-slur saying how actually the 300$ book that says lying is bad totally changed their life.
