Time and time again it has been said that strength is in numbers. This movement will be always open to infiltration if we continue to spread ourselves thin. From a strategic point of view, it is far more advantageous to concentrate our efforts on one target, that way there's more coverage not just from the media, but from the public's conscience. There are far too many ' OCCUPY' this or that in the forums that for the outsider who comes in here looking for light to clearly navigate into a legitimate cause. Brothers and sisters, if you are truly sincere about your commitment to the revolution, then let's occupy just one thing at a time. Let's pick a corporation, a corrupt one, and let's flex our muscles on it, then it will be clear we are not the bunch of unorganized zombies, like in here we are being portrayed on so many videos. If someone comes in here posting nonense, then let's treated as nonsense and let it slide down, remember every post must be treated as a recruiting tool for those souls who are curious about what we truly represent. If all they see is confusion, then they'll most likely believe the portrayal they are witnessing on mainstream media. Want to test this theory ?, we have a great opportunity this very week. As i had said in another post, Coca Cola is being sued for discrimination and have another court date this Wednesday the 7th of March at the Queens cty court Sutphin blvd and 89th ave in Jamaica, NY. This we hope will open the door for a class action suit where we want to include all shareholders, therefore if you are a shareholder or just want to stay informed follow me in Twitter @boycott_coke, and I'll let you know when to join us for the class action suit for the shareholders. Same thing if you know a coke shareholder give him or her the info so he stays up to date on what is going in with this lawsuit and the next one. There are about 30 of us in this one, buy the numbers for the other will be staggering, so this is a perfect opportunity to send a strong message of our presence as a group. I call for a boycott on all coke products until Friday the 9th, let's send a strong message to coke that we will see this to the end and that they can't buy their way out of it. Then, let's move in to another target. Individually we are weak, but united we are invincible. God bless you all. BC.
FIRST!
Kool Moe Dee sent me.
Coke once again playing games, today's court date was about nothing really, now have to be back in June, I'll post the date when I get a confirmed date from our lawyer. We have intel that they are coaching some sell out employees in order to destroy the character of some of the members of the lawsuit group, but these scare tactics are not going to work, since ...well I'll wait till after we expose what we have on them in court. No need to give them any advantages, one never knows. With Coca Cola, some things just never change, but come to think about it, it has always work til now, so why change it right? The boycott continues, with your help we can start a real revolution against abusive corporations in this land, this can be just the begining of taking over our future as a people. Anybody wants to join us in the boycott of Coke products, let your voice be heard and follow us on Twitter @Boycott_Coke. Also if you are a shareholder or know a shareholder of Coca Cola, you might want to follow us, as we are preparing to launch a class action lawsuit in which all shareholders can be partakers of. We are weak individually, but together we are strong. BC
Although I agree concentrating efforts would be more effective, it is not always feasible due to the location of OWS participants. OWS participants might also prefer to fight for different causes due to slightly divergent interests. If OWS participants have no traveling restrictions or divergent interests, then this would be more plausible.
Hello. I appreciate your comment, since you mentioned something I neglected to mention, the fact that what I am suggesting requires no traveling at all, one can protest right from his own home by withdrawing their financial support from whatever the target of the protest is. We have to understand that boycotting is the purest of all protests when it comes to the world we live in, or at least the most effective. Take a look at the fiasco with Rush Limp-Bow and how quickly the reaction from corporate america came. Just on the threat of a boycott on their product, they understand this (corporations I mean when I say they understand this) now, WE have to understand that this is the language they speak, so we better learn how to speak it, and learn quickly. We can expect the same reaction from all of them. If all of us would unite, we could put an end to whatever we want to put an end to. How would something like this apply to politics. Easy, let us take for example the stuff the went on in Wisconsin, and let us say for arguments sake that OWS put out a boycott on the politicians involved in the descision regarding the union bargaining rights. That ban would include all corporations which donate money to the politicians campaign, now this is a tremendous handicap for a re-election bid. Economic withdrawal is the key to bring Corporations to a down to earth level where they will be willing to listen to the little guys. Think about this, want to end up the lobby in Washington? Boycott all corporations who have lobbyists in Washington, and maintain it until they cease from this practice of buying politicians. This works, it has been proven and Mr Limp-Bow is the best case in recent times to show it. Plus, we wouldn't be opening to doors for the powers that be to infiltrate demonstrations and starting trouble, so OWS gets blamed for it, and the rest of society looks at as as wackos who have no directions, as sheep with no shepherd. God bless. BC
