World effort to boycott Bush's America

Regardless where products are made, any carrying U.S. corporate logo/brand names means profits go to Bush's America!

Don't fund genocide-don't purchase U.S. brands!

Hit them where it hurts
If anything, mainstream media silence on the Gannon issue highlights the fact that corporate news is not liberal and not solely concerned with sensationalism.
Like the police and military, they serve and protect only the establishment elite. Corporate media is not only a tool to augment the already obscenely excessive power and wealth of the privileged, but to divert attention from government/corporate crime and prevent people from finding the truth through omission and the calculated spreading/reinforcement of widespread ignorance and disinformation.  http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/05/02/con05064.html

"Consumption alone vitalises capital and makes it capable of yielding profits...It is idle to attack Imperialism or Militarism as political expedients or policies unless the axe is laid at the economic root of the tree." - J.A. Hobson

not difficult

no, not at all difficult to boycott corporate america. every penny you don't spend on US products hits them hard and they know this. why does it cost almost nothing to fly to the US these days? why did Guilliani say almost immediately after 9/11 that the best thing people could do to help was to go shopping in New York? why are US lawmakers leading the way in breaking national import restrictions, effectively removing existing +national+ boycotts of US products? rice imports to india, gm technology, you get the picture. groups all over the world are already boycotting transnational corporations but the effort is dissipated. there is a growing movement which looks to narrow the focus to target US corporations only in an overall fight against global free market capitalism. it is stage one in crashing the empire. when filling the car, should you boycott total oil (french) which has investments in burma and so supports the brutal regime there, shell (UK) with its nigerian / eco pillage connections, or esso / exxonmobil (US) which funds bush and sucks cash into the US lawmaking and miltary machine? my advice: boycott the US corporation first, concentrate effort and +crash the empire+. this would be the same for supermarkets - boycott Wal*Mart/ asda before the others because it's US and funds bush. of course, we all need to consume a whole lot less of eveything anyway but if you do consume, don't consume american.
