Shimadzu Instructed to Cease and Desist
....Shimadzu corporate management is being served notice to stop playing dirty!
The following letter is being vigorously disseminated using several mail and news
resources/servers on the world wide web. Please pass the word!
To: Shimadzu Corporation (and all corporate subsidiaries worldwide)
From: the folks at Shimadzu & Kratos Consumer Alerts
Subject: Shimadzu's online efforts to expunge the Alerts homepages (plural)
We have very good reason to conclude that Shimadzu Corporation and it's corporate
affiliates/subsidiaries (eg. emphasis on Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc) around the
world have made intentional, deliberate and willful efforts to advocate the removal of
numerous URLs from internet databases which direct and point prospective online visitors
to the ugly truth about the other side of Shimadzu. Shimadzu has been losing this
online war since early 1997 with very few battle victories to show (yes, we have had our
usenet posting privileges revoked but somehow the messages keep getting thru). Some
diehard Shimadzu users have even claimed in error that corporate sales have increased in
spite of our online pursuits but the Shimadzu Annual Reports don't bear this out. In fact,
for the past 6 years, net sales (in US dollars) have never exceeded their reported 1992
highs. What does that tell you? This company is bleeding profusely!
We have documented numerous examples of Shimadzu's outrageous efforts to censure the
information appearing on our homepage at http://www.bigfoot.com/~shimadzu-sux. Shimadzu is
a company that likes to have it both ways. They like to brainwash their unsuspecting
customers while flagrantly violating the rights and freedoms of others. If you choose to
due business with this outfit, then this is truly your business but don't say you
haven't been warned about these corporate lowlifes. This is a company that lies, denies
and cover-ups! Remember, the Japanese perfected these skills in the months leading up
to the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. And we know for a fact that company lowlifes
working for Shimadzu Scientific (Columbia, MD, USA) still use these same dirty tricks to
this very day. The more things change, the more they stay the same! Incredibly,
some Shimadzu suckers are under the mistaken guise that Shimadzu has been repeatedly
slandered. Then why haven't they sued (they don't think twice about suing their own
customers). The sad fact is that Shimadzu runs from the truth because they can't stop it's
dissemination!
Recently, we reported a firsthand account of a Shimadzu GC which exploded at a customer
site during a training session. You can probably imagine the embarrassment running wild in
the Shimadzu organization if word of this disaster leaked out.... well it did! We
felt that current users of this Shimadzu technology should know about a potential
time-bomb that might be sitting in their labs. As usual, Shimadzu attempted to highlight
the whistle-blower in an effort to draw fire from their own incendiary devices. Shimadzu
has convinced themselves that this messenger (ie. disgruntled employee) is more important
to expose than the message of defective Shimadzu GCs which are prone to blow-up under
certain circumstances. Were/are they interested in your personal safety or they more
interested in protecting their bottom line? To counter damning reports like this,
Shimadzu employs a Corporate Communications Coordinator whose primary job is to
twist-n-spin any damaging/embarrassing reports. Prior to our report, Shimadzu never
acknowledged this explosive GC problem publicly and we are unaware of any official
recalls/warnings advising customers of this disconcerting design flaw. We believe strongly
that current/future GC users would want to know of this Shimadzu debacle since these
lowlifes cannot be relied upon to deliver the unadulterated truth!
With all of that said, we will remind those American counterparts working/conducting
business on behalf of Shimadzu in the United States that Article 1 of the First Amendment
of the U.S. Constitution decrees that: "Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and
to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The following definition
was provided for the benefit of Shimadzu management and their retained legal counsel since
they have been violating our US Civil/Constitutional Rights. Someone please tell these
corporate trolls that we have an absolute and undeniable right to free speech/press. If
Shimadzu et. al. don't like it, then they shouldn't pass GO and they shouldn't collect
$200.00 either! Why would you do business with a company that tries to squelch our rights
to voice opinions even if they find those viewpoints truthful but unsettling? Put the
shoe on the other foot ladies and gentlemen!
Readers perusing this communication should know that no Shimadzu management type has
ever challenged the veracity or the truthfulness of the numerous facts promulgated on the
Shimadzu Alerts homepage. Since January of 1999, we have even offered to give away up to
10,000 Japanese yen to the first person (including any Shimadzu employees worldwide) whom
provides credible and incontrovertible evidence which definitively proves that we have
concocted/published any untruths or falsehoods whatsoever about this deceitful
organization. Guess what.... we have had NO takers! The truth is very powerful
stuff and those Shimadzu managerial figureheads can't stand the heat; hence their behind
the scenes efforts to scour/expunge our homepages (plural) from several online
databases/forums. Anyone should wonder about a company that engages in this kind of
conduct. What are they trying to hide? Since Shimadzu has done it before, they will
do it again (they have more than a 50 year history of concealing troubling truths!).
By way of this communication, Shimadzu managerial figureheads/employees worldwide
(emphasis on the malcontents in the United States) are hereby ordered to cease and desist
in any/all actions intended (directly or indirectly) to censure our ubiquitous online
presence on the world wide web. Shimadzu Corporation and it's worldwide
affiliates/subsidiaries are to refrain from any further conduct, behavior or actions
intended to prevent the free dissemination and undistubed tabulation of our numerous
homepages/URLs. If we are forced to take legal action to defend/restore our unabridged
rights, Shimadzu should understand that we will petition the courts for all legal costs
including actual damages (eg. time and trouble to upload/re-catalog our homepages/URLs)
plus attorney fees in addition to punitive and treble damages. It is unfortunate that
there is a bellicose outfit like Shimadzu doing business in this world while employing
numerous corporate bullies but this is the kind of world we live in. The consuming public
is being advised to take your valuable business elsewhere before Shimadzu undertakes an
effort to infringe on your rights, privileges and freedoms!
n.b. If you listen to the drivel flowing from Shimadzu, employees
openly dismiss any perceived effect of the Shimadzu Alerts homepage on their business
activities. Privately though, Shimadzu has been trying to minimize this enduring threat
which has had a measurable impact on their bottom line. Otherwise, why do their domestic
and foreign corporate IP addresses keep showing up in our server logs and why do they
persist with their online efforts to blot our numerous homepages/URLs?
n.b. Shimadzu has been caught once again with their greedy little hands in the cookie
jar.... this is a company that specializes in lies, denials and cover-ups worldwide. What
a shady way to do business! That's all you need to know!
When you hear the name Shimadzu.... THINK lowlifes!
