You're totally missing the point. This doesn't surprise me though. I didn't throw in words like "trademark" and "LLC" to sound sophisticated there.
Alaska Magic doesn't buy anything from anywhere because they no longer exist. The only apparent similarities are that (A) they operated out of Washington State and (B) dealt in forest compost products. Gas has nothing to do with forest humus. As you can see by the initial TM registration according to the pages I linked to, all of these companies not only have different contact details but they all seem to have begun operating/selling humus at different times. They all appear to be private entities with no connection (at least none you seem to be able to prove), other than that they all deal in forest compost products.
Otherwise what you are implying is that there couldn't possibly even be such a thing as real Alaskan Forest Humus, period. That's a ridiculous assertion if you ask me. Even using your horrible gas analogy... obviously there is still relatively unadulterated gasoline available.
At any rate, if you have no way of proving what it is you're saying about this Alaskan humus supply chain. I see a lot of "AFAIKs" and straw men. I am especially not inclined to believe you, given that I already know you've misunderstood/interpreted other sources of information as previously illustrated in this thread.
The last thing I want to say is that, for one thing, sphagnum peat actually is a very common ingredient in composting/vermiculture. It is a brown material, so it can be blended with alfalfa meal and other green or high nitrogen materials to make compost. Furthermore, I know what sphagnum peat is, and what it looks like by itself. What is inside the bag of Ancient Forest I have is not sphagnum peat moss.
