BOYCOTT ALL U.S. GOODS!

victim of amerikkka | 15.02.2002 05:45

In support of the Palestinian people and in opposition to the growing and vicious U.S. war on the people of the world and growing move towards fascism in the U.S., we appeal to the people of the world to support those of us who are suffering under this evil regime by boycotting the goods that the brutal U.S. rulers sell overseas to finance their brutality and war.

Amerikkka is the Nazi Germany of the 21st century.
It is beginning its drive towards total world domination.
It is violating international law everywhere.
It is trying to enslave the world at the point of a gun.
It is supporting the brutal Zionist/Nazi regime in its campaign of genocide against the
Palestinian people.
It is running concentration camp style prisons for African-American and other minority
people here in the U.S., targeting immigrants, Arabs, Muslims, Palestinians and other
people for detention on the basis of race, religion, ethnic origin, for detention without
access to families, lawyers, etc. It is torturing prisoners of war and even murdering
them in custody.
BOYCOTT ALL U.S. GOODS!
PLEASE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, HELP US HERE IN THE U.S. FIGHT FOR
FREEDOM BY REFUSING TO BUY THE PRODUCTS OUR BRUTAL RULERS TRY
TO SELL TO YOU TO FINANCE THEIR WAR, BRUTALITY, RACISM, AND
FASCISM!
NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!
Spread this message everywhere! Forward it to everyone!

This is just a ridiculous lie

There are no concentration camps in the US and it is not a fascist state. North Korea is a fascist state. If you're going to protest things at least make sure they exist.

"cc"-What Planet Are You From?

"cc"-Asleep at the switch or just back from a round in a vortex? Where should I start-with America's status of prison capital of the world(more prisoners than any other country), its racist oil wars? It's racist application of death penalty?

Anyone like to fill "cc" in on what is going on here on Earth???

Where should I start "cc"-America No. 1 incarcerator? Racist application of death penalty? It's "manifest destiny" policy(hint: It's similar to Hitler's "Aryan master race" and "Third Reich" concepts)?

Would anyone like to fill in "cc" on what's happening here on Earth?

All too true

The box-cars with shackles, to FEMA's underground torture, experimentation and execution facilities are already up and running, not only for foreigners but for patriots too. Guantanamo Bay is a picnic in comparison to what the Fourth Reich have planned for the planet.

Oh heck, here we go...

VictimOfAmerikkka mentions that the US is "torturing prisoners of war and even murdering them in custody" but doesn't give examples of this - please elaborate. The same goes for the concentration camp style prisons for minority people - please give examples.
AntiFascist points out that America has a high prison population and applies the death penalty in a racist way. Well, the crimes that get you locked up in jail in America are at least by and large "real" crimes - robbery, burglary, murder: that sort of thing. If you don't want to go to jail then it's really very simple: don't rob, burgle and murder. In countries such as China and Iran the crimes that get you locked up in jail include the expression of political dissent, calls for elections and open practice of religion, and there can be a vigorous application of corporal punishment - I suppose someone who gets flogged or has limbs amputated doesn't get counted in surveys of prison populations. Prison populations may be a bit misleading anyway: according to recently released figures ( http://politics.guardian.co.uk/homeaffairs/story/0,11026,649368,00.html) the UK has a higher per-capita prison population than Burma, China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey but I suspect the average Burmese person is considerably more downtrodden and oppressed than the average Brit. Personally I deeply dislike the death penalty but it continues to be practiced in the US not because of the American government's single-minded desire to kill anyone or stifle dissent, but because the American population believe murderers deserve to be executed. Gasp! The only way to get executed in the US is to be convicted of murder, which mostly, but admittedly not always, requires you to firstly commit a murder. The ways to get executed in lots of other states are far greater in number and much more varied - such as the expression of inconvenient political viewpoints and generally aggravating the people in charge. I don't know exactly what AntiFascist means when he(?) talks of "racist application of the death penalty" - I hope he/she will elaborate.
As far as "racist oil wars" are concerned (presumably meaning Desert Storm and others I can't think of right now but which I'm sure will be listed), I think they have a lot more to do with oil than with race (that's why it's called an "oil war" - it's about oil). Just because Arabs live in Arabia and Arabia has lots of oil doesn't mean that a war fought over Arabian oil (and which therefore kills mainly Arabs) is motivated by a hatred of Arabs. "Oil wars" maybe, but "racist oil wars"?

If you want to boycott all American products then go right ahead - that's your choice and nobody's ever been forcing you to buy them. But be aware of the conduct of the countries you buy from in America's place.

Boycott Amerikan Goods

Don't listen to American music
Don't watch American television
Don't watch American movies
Don't read Hemingway, Fitzgerald or other american authors
Don't go to American universities - drop out if you are in one and return you diploma if you already went.
Don't fly in American planes like Boeing
Don't eat American Beef or Chicken or Pork
Don't eat American wheat, or rice or soy products
Don't wear American clothes or shoes or sports shoes
Don't use visa,mastercard or American Express
Don't drive Opels or Volvos or Fords or Saab or other cars made by American companies
Don't use American drugs or have your children vacinated by drugs patented in America
Don't come to America for medical treatment or have your children treated for cancer in the US.
Start now by ripping your American visas from your passports
If you have a green card, send it back to the embassy.

Easy to advocate a 'cool cause' like boycott American goods Mr. Victim but tough to put into practice. Actually have to sacrifice a bit. If you can do it -- Good for you. You have my admiration. Most people have trouble giving up chocolate for Lent.

do your homework

"It is running concentration camp style prisons ...here in the U.S..."

Not strictly true. imigration violators brought in since the 9-11 attack are being held in regular prisons. The US does not have special camps specifically for illegal immigrants like Europe does.

Small point maybe since illegal immigrants and visa violators are still being held - but it shows how little homework or resource was done by victim.

get Q on the line NOW

"The box-cars with shackles, to FEMA's underground torture, experimentation and execution facilities are already up and running"

The Federal Emergency Management Agency's secret underground torture, experiementation and execution facilities (FEMAUTEEFac I suppose)with prisonors being led then in secret boxcars on america's non-functioning AMTRAC?

Is it under a tall mountain in the rockies or in a dormant volcano in the carribean?
Are the beuatiful women cloned with animals into some horrible woman-beast?
And of course, according to Victim of America, this place is carefully segregated by race, religion and country of national origin.
Will James Bond rescue anyone from this place?

with all the serious issues with america, can't you guys come up with anything better than this LaRouche-Art Bell-Scientology crap? Are you sure you are not a troll?
