Obama's 170 degrees (going on 180) on Torture is a sad and scary spectacle

111. One thing that could begin to weaken the power of these corporations is to stop buying

their garbage, stop using their credit cards, starve them of what has given them all that control, money.

They created very successfully, a debt-ridden, consumer society, where you are more valuable to them when you are in debt than if you pay your bills. The World Bank and IMF uses the same despicable tactic when it uses disastrous situations to force countries into debt and keeps them in debt, ending their sovereignty more successfully than an invading army.

That is why they hated Chavez. He paid off Venezuela's debt freeing the country from their control over how it spends its money. They HATED him to the point of attempting to overturn a real, democratic election.

THAT should demonstrate what a trap all this consumerism is. If people could be convinced that if 'you can't afford it, you should not buy it by going into debt' they would freak out.

A Global Movement that boycotted everything that is not essential until they were starved out of existence would make it hard for them to send out their robo cops and tanks to crush protests. No one would have to leave their homes to do this.

But that is just a dream. They have so hooked people on all these 'toys' people get into debt over, it would be like trying to stop a drug addict from buying drugs.
