Attacking the Monster's Food Supply

Let's Wake Up ALL These Companies

One by One



(KeepAndBearArms.com) As a result of our request for help exposing anti-gunner Andrew J. McKelvey's many associations, a good many people have helped us compile the following information. This ultra-rich anti-constitution fella obviously needs his attention grabbed, as evidenced by the fact that his fancy new website is promoting the destruction of American Freedom in several ways: http://ww2.americansforgunsafety.com

The following is not put together as well as it could be, but this guy IS a Monster. Researching every pie in which he has a finger is like researching how many different shapes of rocks there are on Earth! This man is loaded, and he is using his money to promote gun control. Millions of dollars are being pumped into anti-freedom organizations, and the following companies are helping - through association with TMP Worldwide and Monster.com - to make it happen.

Mr. McKelvey owns the following companies through his parent company, TMP Worldwide: http://www.tmp.com

Monster.com, Monstermoving.com, ChiefMonster.com, Simpatix Inc., Rollo Associates, Web Technology Partners Inc., System One Services Inc., and MANY MANY more. Monster.com is associated in quite a few deep-pocket ways with AOL, Compuserve, Digital City, ICQ and Netscape. They are headquartered in Maynard, Massachusetts, and TMP Worldwide is HQ'd in New York City.

If you are wondering exactly what Mr. McKelvey is promoting with his new gun control organization, go find out what his idea of "solutions" are: http://ww2.americansforgunsafety.com/solutions.html

Step One

Call Monster.com's toll free number. Talk as long as you like. 1 (800) Monster (666-7837). If the 666 doesn't say anything to you, perhaps MONSTER does.

Step Two

Contact Monster.com by the web here: http://www.monster.com/contact/

Step Three

Contact TMP Worldwide through the web: http://www.tmp.com/TMP800/contact/contactinfo.asp?type=form

Step Four

Check their (TMP's) listings of local and regional offices and see if you've got a local number to call to bawl them out about their fearless leader calling for liberty-infringing gun laws: http://www.tmp.com/TMP800/contact/contactinfo.asp?type=worldwide#us You will also find quite a toll free number for their Kentucky office, which you can also use to bend people's ears about the problems you see with Mr. McKelvey's anti-gun agenda: Kentucky Office: Tel. 800-356-8350

Step Five -- For Investment-minded People

Look into the shareholder information of TMP and see how we can use this information. http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=tmpw&script=2100 Then email a report to McKelvey@KeepAndBearArms.com so we can get people onto the appropriate Action Steps quickly.

Step Six

LAI Worldwide's contact email address for general correspondence is: Contact_TMPsearch@tmpsearch.com Maybe you can think of something to say to them. If not, send this:

Dear LAI,

I am touching base with you to let you know that your OWNER, Mr. Andrew J. McKelvey just crossed the line. His promotion of gun control - and many of his specific "solutions" to gun crime - have gone far beyond the pale. What? You didn't know the guy whose bread you butter is a gun grabber? Hmm. Go look at his website: http://ww2.americansforgunsafety.com/solutions.html where you will find a good many BAD IDEAS, several of which not only have no scientific basis but are actually endangering peoples' lives where they have been implemented elsewhere.

Long story short: I won't have anything to do with you, and neither will 83,000,000 American gun owners once we get the word out.

Get word to McKelvey to try a little Factual Reality before he gets on his high horse about something of which he obviously knows so little. You might also urge him to get some information from the other side as part of his research - IF he truly cares to see an end to gun crimes without infringing on the rights of grandmothers to protect themselves.

TMP was recently reported as having cut alliance deals with all of the following groups:

AOL Studio's Electra (info: http://www.yppa.com/YPPA_News_Link/YNL_Archive/1997/YNL19971215_3.htm) Official Site: http://www.electra.com/ (AOL's Pal "Oxygen"'s sites: http://www.oxygen.com/sites/)

Monster.com claims to be the world's #1 online job search site. New York City-based TMP Worldwide is also a leader in the Yellow Pages advertising, recruitment ad, and executive search businesses. The company has about 235 offices worldwide. Monster.com boasts more than 400,000 job ads and a database of about 7 million resumes for recruiters to browse through (it is also one of the rare Internet businesses that has turned a profit). The company also has launched a sister site:

Monstermoving.com is dedicated to real estate and relocation services. Executive search services are a growing part of TMP's business. TMP's 1999 acquisitions of LAI Worldwide and TASA Worldwide propelled the company into the leading ranks of the industry. That business prompted TMP to launch its third Monster-branded site, ChiefMonster.com.

TMP also is the world's largest Yellow Pages advertising agency. The company offers its clients ad placement, direct marketing, and customer relations services such as call center operations and order fulfillment. TMP's interactive business also is growing rapidly. For advertising clients, TMP creates online banner ads and helps set up and maintain Web sites.

TMP has used more than 100 acquisitions in the past decade to stockpile its four businesses, which founder and CEO Andrew McKelvey hopes to converge on the Web in a network offering job seekers the ability to go from "intern-to-CEO." McKelvey controls more than 50% of the voting power of the company.

HISTORY

Andrew McKelvey founded TMP (which stands for Telephone Marketing Programs) in 1967. It began buying up other Yellow Page ad agencies and folding them into its business, and by the end of the 1980s, the company was out in front in the Yellow Pages ad market. McKelvey began to look into other related areas of business.

In the 1990s TMP entered the recruitment classified advertising market with its 1993 purchase of Bentley, Barnes & Lynn. Over the next five years, TMP bought more than 40 recruitment ad shops, making it an international player. Its Austin Knight agency, a UK-US joint venture formed in 1997, helped TMP become the UK's largest recruitment ad firm.

The 1990s also saw the company merge onto the information superhighway at great speed. In 1993 the company launched its Online Career Center Web site, which listed some 150,000 jobs from an array of companies. In 1995 McKelvey bought Boston-based ad agency Adion and its Monster Board online job posting site for just $ 3 million. TMP went public in 1996. Investors eventually latched
onto its Internet play and sent its stock soaring.

The next year TMP bought one Yellow Pages ad agency and four more international recruitment ad agencies. In 1998 it expanded the range of its Interactive Division with About Work, an online internship database. TMP also combined its Online Career Center and Monster Board sites to form Monster.com.

In 1999 TMP bought LAI Worldwide, one of the top job recruitment companies in the US. TMP is combining LAI with its TASA Worldwide unit. In 2000 it bought UK-based HW Group and Toronto-based Illsley Bourbonnais, two executive headhunting firms, as part of TMP's plan to expand globally. It also bought Florida-based information technology recruiter System One Services and online relocation service VirtualRelocation.com. In addition, the company agreed to purchase Los Angeles-based executive search agency Rollo Associates, the IT staffing division of Affiliated Computer Services, and legal recruiter QD Group. Later that year the company launched relocation and real estate Web site Monstermoving.com and executive search site ChiefMonster.com.

Wow. This guy is even sneakier and 'stinkier' than I realized. He was even on the Board of HCI. Typical. Just looking for a few 'reasonable' solutions, right McKelvey? BS.

A dot-com billionaire dives deep into the gun war

By Matt Bai
NEWSWEEK

October 9 issue— Andrew Mckelvey made a fortune finding the Next Big Thing. In 1967 he borrowed $18,000 and turned it into TMP Worldwide, a leading seller of yellow-page ads. Five years ago he bought little-known Monster.com, the job-placement Web site that made him a billionaire.

NOW THAT HE’S 65—and gets around on a 110-foot yacht and a jet that once belonged to the golfer Greg Norman—McKelvey’s been reflecting a bit. He spends most nights at home in Manhattan, and he says he can’t stand a lot of the stuffy rich people he meets. “I told my children, ‘I am not leaving you a lot of money’,” he says. “I want to give it all away.”

Last year, haunted by school shootings, McKelvey started donating to Handgun Control Inc. and the Million Mom March. But he was frustrated by slow progress and decided that if he was going to get into the gun-control “business,” he’d have to be the guy in charge. Now McKelvey—a registered Republican whose last political cause was the Goldwater campaign—is hurling himself into one of the nation’s nastiest debates. His new group, Americans for Gun Safety, debuts this week with ads in Colorado and Oregon, where voters face referendums on background checks at gun shows. The spots, made to make headlines, are expected to feature a senior Republican official backing the initiatives, although the group was keeping that person’s identity secret last week. [we now know it is that RINO, McCain - JT] McKelvey’s already spent or committed more than $12 million, and friends say he’ll part with considerably more—likely making Americans for Gun Safety the best-funded gun-control group in the country.

Until now, McKelvey’s chief hobbies were golfing, yachting and getting married, which he’s done six times. (“I like change,” he deadpans.) He’s using most of his millions to establish a new foundation dedicated to sending rural kids to college. Yet gun violence seemed like an especially urgent issue. He joined the board of Handgun Control last year after funding the group’s lawsuits against the gun industry, and quickly found himself in an internal debate over its name, which, he said, “does them absolutely no good” with a wary public. Instead, he envisioned a new group that would reach out to mainstream Americans, including gun owners, who don’t want to choose between avid anti-gunners and the NRA. [Typical ... this is simply a a repackaging job, to improve anti-self defense marketing to Americans - JT.] Most Americans, McKelvey said, would rally round “common sense” solutions like greater enforcement of existing gun laws and safer gun designs to prevent kids from using them. He decided to borrow from his business expertise, creating a nonpartisan group that would work on a McDonald’s-like model; national ads would push like-minded people toward a Web site, which would then feed them to local “franchises” in every state, all using the same logo and strategies. McKelvey decided to fund the venture but stay decidedly in the background. “I’m not a spokesperson kind of person,” he says. [Check out their web site at http://ww2.americansforgunsafety.com ... they're simply hooking up with the same, tired anti-self groups we've seen before - JT.]

Even so, McKelvey’s group is already offending some veterans of the gun-control movement by acknowledging a right to own guns—unheard of in the gun-control camp. Even Handgun Control, considered a moderate force in the movement, won’t go there. “We support the right of law-abiding citizens to own and use guns, flat out,” says Jonathan Cowan, the former chief of staff at HUD, who was hired by McKelvey as president. [Yes, it does appear they are perfectly happy if we own single shot, bolt action .22 rifles ... as long as the government knows where we are ... - JT.] “But we also believe that with the right to own guns comes responsibilities.” Cowan reached out to an alliance of more than 30 statewide gun-violence groups and made them an offer: agree to become a chapter, and McKelvey’s group will provide $60,000 a year for staff and equipped offices. It’s a great deal for dedicated foot soldiers—many of them victims of gun violence—who couldn’t even afford computers or full-time help. The 28 that have signed on so far include grass-roots groups like Stop Hand-gun Violence in Massachusetts, which pushed for tougher laws—and saw gun-related murders plunge by 56 percent. “Our angel has arrived,” says John Rosenthal, the group’s founder.

Not surprisingly, the gun lobby and the industry aren’t looking at it that way. “I’ll put 4 million NRA members up against all the millions of dollars you have any day of the week,” says NRA spokesman Bill Powers. At an inaugural meeting last week in Oakland, Calif., McKelvey told his troops he’s “sick to death” of hearing about the NRA, period. “The last thing I’m going to do is start explaining to the American public why my competition is bad,” he says. A creature of the comparatively civil world of corporate dealmakers, McKelvey may not fully grasp what he’s in for as the gun lobby’s newest nemesis. He seems to think he can remain above the fray, and he shrugs off the idea of gun owners’ retaliating with a boycott of his company, a favorite NRA tactic. “With 17 million hits on Monster last month?” McKelvey scoffs. “Good luck.” There’s probably no point in trying to bleed Andrew McKelvey of his hard-earned money, anyway. He’s getting rid of it as fast as he can.[/quote]
