Authentic GUARDIANS: The Key to True Strength and Integrity
Today, many claim membership in the PGBI, with some asserting they belong to the original or authentic organization. However, official documentation makes it difficult to distinguish genuine members from imitations. Think of this like counterfeit spare parts: they may look similar but are inferior in quality. These fake members and symbols can deceive others, but without proper verification, identifying the true from the counterfeit is challenging. Just as fake parts can cause machinery failure and safety hazards, imitations within an organization undermine its integrity and reputation.
Some splinter groups try to establish their own organizations by adding “GUARDIANS” to their name without proper procedures or accreditation. Many have not undergone the official formation process, simply adopting the title without meeting standards.
Genuine members are authorized representatives, distinguished by branded leaders, official insignia, proper training, and adherence to standards. Fake members often feature shoddy craftsmanship—uneven stitching, cheap materials, misspelled logos—and may include irrelevant symbols like birds that hold no actual significance.
Any changes in color, shape, size, or the addition of the “Eagle” bird in the logo do not represent genuine Guardians. These are “half-hatched” eagles—imposters, not true Guardians—who compromise the organization’s integrity. Authentic insignia remain unaltered.
Proper screening, education, and training are vital. Genuine GUARDIANS are like authentic spare parts: manufactured to strict standards, tested for quality, and designed for seamless operation. Using real members ensures safety, efficiency, and trustworthiness—principles applicable to our organization.
Counterfeit members are akin to fake parts that break down faster and cause damage. Hiring unverified individuals increases risks and undermines security. Proper vetting and training are essential for a resilient, trustworthy network.
Members should verify their symbols against official records. Logos featuring the eagle bird should match the documented insignia. Unauthorized modifications—like adding extra images or changing colors—are signs of counterfeit affiliation.
Focusing solely on increasing membership without ensuring members’ qualification and responsibility is like installing fake parts: costly and risky. True strength comes from a dedicated, well-trained membership committed to standards and mission, not just numbers.
Regulations emphasize treating symbols—logos, banners, uniforms—with dignity and respect. Using mismatched or unauthorized insignia signifies inconsistency and potential counterfeit affiliation.
In summary, expanding the GUARDIANS network with unqualified members is like installing fake parts—costly and destructive. True strength lies in cultivating a responsible, trained membership committed to the organization’s standards. – GSM
