Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Reverse Boycott

Here are advertisers who actually announced they boycott Glenn Beck and, for some, Fox. They have not just decided to avoid a controverisal forum, they are making a statement, appealing to the LCD.

Since I watch the Beck show from time to time and he presents facts, authors, provides sources, and invites opposition, I can only ascertain this boycott is blatant political action, which is fine, but I will not support the companies who object to the administration being revealed as a mixture of communists, marxists, and terrorists who are intentionally destroying the economy while taking control of our bodies and children. Call me nuts.

It was Stalin who said the Americans will sell you the rope you use to hang them.  Take this seriously.  Here are some major ones, a full list is below.  Hitler did the same thing when he won over the many companies with promises of reward; then he took control and former, early advocates were eliminated.

Ones that affect me directly:  Apple, GEICO, AT&T, Ing Direct, WalMart, Best Buy.  There are probably Proctor Gamble products I should watch, but they involve cleaning so they are de minimis.  I want to be rid of Apple and AT&T regarding my iphone, but it is hard to find a new company.  I will see, but I am thinking Virgin, but they are the enemy as well, but they are British, so they enjoy oligarchy and serfdom, not knowing individual freedom.

Surprisingly, GE is not on the list, being a known sycophant to big brother.

Fortunately, BMW is on the list.

I would suggest keeping this list, use it when making shopping choices, and let the companies know what you are doing.  I will.  It may be most of these companies are just morons listening to marketing types, aka morons, but a line has been drawn and you must choose a side.  There is no maniana where people are responsible for their own lives.  If you just go along to get along, you are no longer a free person. Your opinion is not only irrelevant, it becomes dangerous.

When the crap hits the fan, I will know I did what I could;  how about you, comrade?

[I got this from a Marxist site.  It was proud of its boycott.  Now we can identify who to not buy from. The enemy reveals itself.]
