Biomedical Conferences Claims the Journals of Other (?) Publishers

One would imagine that Biomedical Conferences is just a conference organizer. But its website features "our journals" as "a singular repository" for "acclaimed scientific authors" seeking to reach "like-minded peers." There are more journals than I care to count on the list of "our journals." Some have ISSNs; some don't. Almost all (based on a sample of clicks) are published by three ostensibly separate publishers -- Crimson, Iris, and Lupine Publishers. Examples from the Biomedical Conferences list include

The only journal in my quick sample that does not belong to another publisher, the Biomedical Journal of Scientific and Technical Research has the following underpunctuated "aim and scope" for "rendering a global podium" of "scientific knowledge on science":
The only motto of Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) Publishers is accelerating the scientific and technical research papers, considering the importance of technology and the human health in the advanced levels and several emergency medical and clinical issues associated with it, the key attention is given towards biomedical research. Thus, asserting the requirement of a common evoked and enriched information sharing platform for the craving readers. BJSTR is such a unique platform to accumulate and publicize scientific knowledge on science and related discipline. This multidisciplinary open access publisher is rendering a global podium ...
Is it a coincidence that the webpages of both this flaky journal and the Biomedical Conferences webpages are copyrighted by Lupine Publishers LLC and that the spam for Biomedical Conferences came from Lupine Publishers? The Aurora, Colorado, "editorial offices" of Lupine Press are a four-bedroom house at the registered address of both Crimson and Lupine Publishers. Postings on Crimson, Iris, and Lupine Publishers have more information about them and one man, Sudheer Kaku, who may be behind them.
