To me, the site looks like a very basic template offered by telecommunications pyramid marketing outfits. I see them often lately in my terrorism research. Very interesting. They look alike; they all could be legit or fronts. It also reminded me of the GaaiComm (sp?) website.

On the AngelWorks affiliate site, there is a logo that strikes me as strange. It looks like a less-muscled red silouetted version of Mr. T! What is coming out of the top of the dude's head? Is it a hat or a spiked haircut or flames? Anyway, it is an unusual logo choice for an organization whose "management" is a bit long in the tooth. Plus, I don't understand how that particular logo helps communicate or enhance what AngelWork does. It would work for a more youthful gaming development company, an MTV generation company or, or I suppose a graphics company, etc., though.

The "red," "dark" and "hot" qualities of the logo do not mesh with the name "AngelWorks" either. Unless their "angel" is the fallen angel lucifer, of course. ;)

There is a page under Post Production on AngelWorks that has a pic of their editing room. In the pic there are 2 computer monitors with images on them. One has the moon or a planet on it. I know Muslims like their moon.

I would like to hear Kooge's radio show. I wonder what it is he talks about; is it business or religion? I see his bio is no longer linked. In fact, no members of the management team have available bios. Interesting that they are located in Florida. I wonder if Kooge is buddies with the former Tampa University prof that got himself in trouble?

So there is a moon and no bios left. Possible terrorist message if I were paranoid: The bio attack takes place during the full moon!

Re missing bio material on that site -- here's the last bio for "KOOGE".

Catch it while you can, it's already gone from the google cache, and I'd wager that if he's intentionally dusting over his tracks, the archive.org "footprints" will be removed before too long also. (They will remove from their archives upon request.)

Here's a list of his earlier bios, going back to October 2002. I haven't examined them, so I don't know how different they are from the last one (linked above), dated July 15, 2003.

Note:

To check out all available archives for any URL, simply preface the "http://" part with "http://web.archive.org/*/" in your browser's Address box.

The URL for all (available) archived versions of the "KOOGE" bio is therefore "http://web.archive.org/*/http://www.risingstartelecom.com/kooge_bio.html" (without the quotation marks!)

Here's the content of the last available "KOOGE" bio:
