Penzeys Insider Says CEO's Left-Wing Rants are Hurting Company

A Penzeys Spices insider says founder and CEO Bill Penzey's frequent left-wing rants in emails to customers have lost the company more than half of its retail business over the past five years.

"It's been devastating," explains the insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "In 2017, our retail operations department flat out said that Bill's attacks had cost the company 50 percent of our customers."

Penzey has for years made political assaults on Republicans and conservatives a routine part of his "A Note from Bill" emails to customers, but the insider says he ratcheted up his rhetoric after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. His emails made national news, but the publicity generated a backlash even from liberal customers.

They are located in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. We stopped buying from them about 20 years ago when their mail-order catalogs began introducing us to various "family members" who had just earned "Master's Degrees" and who the owner kept saying were going to take the company into "uncharted" waters. We saw what kind of waters he was talking about in subsequent catalogs and started shopping at MySpiceSage instead.

It seems like it’s a virus akin to a zombie invasion rotting people’s brains. This sickness is destroying people from the inside out.

I’m really beginning to think it’s a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy at work. Prepare yourselves accordingly.

This was written 2-1/2 years ago. Anyone know what’s happened to the company since?

It seems like it’s a virus akin to a zombie invasion rotting people’s brains.

That's exactly what it is.

Some colleges and universities started Marxist indoctrination a long time ago (Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer of the famous Frankfort School fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s and found refuge at institutions like Columbia, which hosted them at the Institute for Social Research).

Then brainwashed graduates moved into the media and compounded that indoctrination by creating echo chambers.

Now we have Manchurian Candidate-like people throughout the country, many in high-profile positions.

This disease even has a name. It's called a "mass formation" (see Mattias Desmet's "The Psychology of Totalitarianism").

Jordan Peterson has spoken extensively on how self-deceived and indoctrinated brains reprogram themselves, even to the point of rewiring themselves with new neural pathways (i.e. both software and hardware adaptation).

What we are left with is a large group (30-35% of the population) that is insane.

Might I recommend the Galena Garlic Company? No politics involved, and they operate out of Galena, IL. I’ve been buying there since I was about 20, and it’s worth every penny.

They have a website to buy from. Their seasoned salt is fantastic, and they carry no salt added spice mixtures for those of us avoiding sodium.

I recommend the Garlicpeño mix. It’s amazing in mashed potatoes with sour cream.

Penzey does not seem to be Penzey material.

[have lost the company more than half of its retail business over the past five years.]

Excellent. Get Woke, Go Broke.

[SaveFerris]

Here is the genius destroying his own company. Brilliant!!!

[know.your.why]

I’m gonna forward this to that CEO with it ATTN: “A Note FOR Bill”

[Bullish]

How interesting... Thanks.

[SaveFerris]

[What we are left with is a large group (30-35% of the population) that is insane.]

I accidentally stumbled across one - had known them for about 1-1/2 years or more. Then I made mention of what was going on here, .....aaaaaaannnnnd this person went absolutely freaking nuts. I will never have anything to do with them again. Bizarre.



I chalk it up to the spirit of antichrist operating in that person. The demon just came out of nowhere.

[Bullish]

Sounds good but... Who the hell uses seasoned salt on anything? I come from a long line of restaurateurs and chefs. That stuff is not welcome in any of our kitchens.

[Bullish]

He looks exactly like the type of guy who would destroy his own business over silly leftist politics. Kinda has that Michael Moore/Steven King look.

[SaveFerris]

[even to the point of rewiring themselves with new neural pathways]

This is what happens with MSM indoctrination and frankly rap. If you stand back and listen objectively, much (perhaps not all) rap is thump-thump-thump and simply hearing the so-called lyrics is quite revealing in and of itself.

I think somebody posted a rap video a couple of years ago as an example (for another reason). This gang of thugs had an impressionable 7-8-year-old-boy in the video - already scrambling his brain. Shameful. I can’t remember who the “group” was though.

[SaveFerris]

It must be fun sitting next to him at the local buffet.

[RoosterRedux]

Yep. There's a huge amount of demonic influence in society right now. You can see when you interact with people every day.

You can even see it in the contentious behavior of some people on FR threads.

Penzey’s is one of a few companies I won’t buy from.

[SaveFerris]

I was speaking with a young lady Friday night. She has been changing her appearance away from the odd side a bit - got rid of the nose ring (or whatever piercings she seemed to have on her facial area) and has started dressing more ladylike. Which is good to see.

The whole 666 thing is an opportunity of mockery for her. Same with the idea of her ever going to a church or reading a Bible. I told her I’d be praying for her. She just laughed and basically said it would do no good.

It’s interesting meeting some of these people. It’s a completely foreign concept to them if they have been raised in a purely-secular or anti-Christian home.

[maddog55]

Never heard of them so no loss on this end. Pathetic approach to business regardless.
