Money is the only language the %1 understand. Our voice can effect their money a lot more effectively with targeted boycotts.
yes, but we should also provide a viable alternative to their product. may be we can try to build a cooperative movement and occupy the economy.
The assholes import Chinese junk, having stripped out most of the American manufacturing base. Buy American made, even refurbished, and avoid Chinese crap as much as possible. Shop small business and avoid Wal-mart. That's an effective boycott right there.
Do you have a list of items that aren't made overseas?
Chinese crap is unconstitutional. The 13th amendment abolished slavery it doesn't say move the slaves from Alabama to China. Prevent all the Chinese crap from being unloaded. That would force all the multinationals to use the $2.1 trillion cash to build factories here to get any and all their supplies.
If we buy a product from a store, yet detest how it came to be and the politics that surround it, we are aiding and abetting in a crime. If you take a personal moral inventory of your economic life, you will intrinsically know the answers to any purchasing confusion. It is really simple
It is not that difficult to make informed purchases on a daily basis. Take inventory of how you live and what you need in your life. Spend the extra dollar or dime at your locally owned coffee house rather than Starbucks. Help support your local economy. Stop going to box stores. There are many resources online that link you to American made products and companies. Change your daily pattern and routine and you will see that you can effect change much easier than imagined
9/11 is invoked and broadcast daily
American people refuse to examine the evidence that was filmed at the WTC to learn what really happened. Americans are too arrogant and too ignorant to admit they were misled and manipulated by their government and media propaganda whose claims are on the level of Santa coming down the chimney to leave presents under the tree. The Santa story grooms American children to accept complete nonsense later in their lives about 9/11 and other very important criminal acts by government officials.
There are no quotas in America for the number of lies told by American officials. There is a bottomless pit of lies and weird nonsense that Americans have no problem accepting. Obama just told another whopper when he claimed that all troops will be brought home from Iraq. The troops left in Iraq are called contractors. No media reporters are reporting the contractor story. Americans now call liars "flip-floppers".
The book written by NYT reporter Philip Shenon divulges incredible first hand accounts from senior officials including the Director of the FBI Tom Pickard who had a violent confrontation with his boss, the attorney general John Ashcroft on July 12, 2001 because Ashcroft refused to listen to any evidence that America would be attacked by Al Qaeda at the direction of Osama bin Laden.
The fact that Shenon and his editors for the NYT decided to hide this story by not publishing it in the NYT when Shenon learned about it directly from Tom Pickard in 2004, but published the story in 2008 in Shenon's book THE COMMISSION is the revelation that only SCREWED AGAIN has published for its world wide audience. http://overthecoals.blogspot.com/
I lost my job and used my savings to pay for school. I earned my degree, but don't qualify for jobs because of requirements for very specific types of experience. Thus, we are living off one small income, and trimming expenses. I would love to enter into a barter group through which I could offer my assistance in return for essentials. The occupy movement provides a great networking platform for this. And instead of waiting for big business to develop and manufacture beneficial technologies, support each others endeavors. The group itself is comprised of smart and talented people, so start building teams to generate a new economy beyond the control of big money as much as possible. They need your talent, but get rich while your great ideas earn you a middle class wage that is increasingly less beneficial and valuable. Maybe create a closed website that requires vetting in order to join, to prevent idea theft.
I could not agree more, Petey.
unfortunately, you of the 1% don't have enough money to MATTER to any corporation or bank!
