The Great Big Boycot

[rollotomaz1]

Please forgive me if you think I'm a real nut here, but we could make life very hard for the controlling factors if we had ourselves a great big boycot weekend, week, month etc.

In that I mean we boycot all non essential passtimes for two days and cut out all the big shops and use local shops for our essentials.

Then show the larger conglomerates what its like to be controlled and have their livelyhoods taken away, just two days each week until they get the message.

Everybody take all their spare cash out of the banks and sit it out for the allotted time period, but don't put it back for that month, cut up the credit cards and demand cash payment for you wages, no one is going to refuse cash.

Lets try and get some kind of normality back into our lives and start watching out for each other, instead of handing all of our money over to the very people who have fleeced us over the years, our pensions etc.

Refuse to pay your council taxes for starters, there is nothing they could do, when the balif comes round, all gather together and bar them from entry, women and children at the front.

These might seem like menial things, but where and when are we going to make a stand for the whole, once we start something the rest should follow or are we all too afraid to loose what we already don't have.

The rich would soon start to suffer after only a few days, the larger shops will soon start to close and the smaller shop would re-open and the community would thrive once again, or do we simply carry on as we are getting poorer and poorer, or are we not yet poor enough to do something, if so how poor do we have to be before we stand together, there must be plenty of readers that are at this level out there now.

What problems would you forsee your part in this from being an action in absence to be brought.

unfortunately those days seem to be long gone..
Thatcher murdered british society, we are officially a nation of sheep, "I'm all right jack fuck you!" mentality reigns supreme.
most are mortgaged up, the invisible shackles..Mort = Death, Gage = Grip..hence mortgage = deathgrip.

RBS even use this common knowledge for adverting..well people over here can relate to it..

i don't think it would go unnoticed, i think it would have a huge affect, remember we are the majority, we have ALL the poswer, and with such peaceful, none violent protests as the OP suggests we would stop being whispers in the shadows and be a shout in their faces.

Respect to the OP :D

EDIT: have moved the thread into 'what can we do' so that it doesn't get buried in todays news and it suites the OP :D

if only 10% of people did it, and did it as a matter of course, i think it would make a difference.

Not doing anything is not an option any more, can't we see this, another way we could do something is to get all the older students of life to teach us some of the older skills and barter our essentials into fashion, buying cheap is not actually the case, it may seem so but a decent pair of shoes for instance cost around say 65 quid, but the profit for such items runs at 100's of percent, thus they are costing us dearly.

This takes away the cash from the companies that exploit others, some of our biggest voices are our farmers, who have been systimatically destrioyed by legislation, and imports that we can grow ourselves quite easily.

Who in their right mind is going to bring potatoes from Israel when the best growing area is in Scotland are you happy and free of guilt that such a country is using your money to kill women and children in Gaza.

Dirty food is not an option either, or any other product that we buy and another dies, it may hurt to realise these things we are doing but its true.

We are not all sheep, but we are without a voice of the people, Icke could use these lines but never does, we surely are as wise as they are, our children are our future, why not our voices too ?

Who is jack, answer, the one of all trades, without the trades we are nothing, we need to learn new skills both manually and mentally, food for the mind as well as the body, then let our bodies do the talking, by doing something tomorrow, for our local community to start with.

Go and say hello to your local greengrocer etc and tell him that you want local produce and at a reasonable price and tell him you will boycot the big boys, and watch him deliver and the community start to prosper, this is everyones biggest tool there is.

The bigger concerns are now running at rock bottom, they cannot crush the British farmer any more than they have done and sell things any cheaper than they are today, the local farmer could cut off their supply route just like an extended army supply line, and supply direct and with a greater variety, and in times of trouble at least have something left to sell,

Unlike a single cash crop or golden triangle which never touches our lips but someone else abroad, at the cost to us in transportation costs alone, corn, wheat and GM from Monsanto based growers in North America, this alone should woory those who are health conscious.

If we can see the bigger picture we would act right now, its time that we were a little cruel to be kind for our futures, there is still time, think otherwise and we are heading into the abyis of big hurt proper time.

i actually do boycott certain things..its my choice..never buy bp fuel or shell

but my actions will never have any real impact..
if everyone did the same, the queue's would be massive, to the point of hindrance to the working day, and ability to provide for my family..

I am not opposed to such idea's btw..but i have been on the marches, tried all my adult life to educate people on the corruption and manipulation of the system,to the point where my friends tolerate me, and raise their eyes and tell me to "get off my soap box"..
i laugh, and keep on in alight hearted way, softly softly..chipping away at the block..
its a mission, but, nener say never ;)

I can feel your passion,

I can say we are living proof of what can be acheived, we have been boycotting the big boys for many years now by buying only local and British organic flour in 40 kilo sacks, making nearly all of our food from the raw materials, when the Grandchildren come round there is no telly for them to watch or plug in their video games, we have a zero policy of such things in the house,

We do things make things, teach the girls baking or go out walking in the woods here and they never even ask about anything electrical games wise, and really enjoy themselves.

The more one does the more awake you will become, we are hyperactive and love every minute of every day doing and making our pocket heavier, so could you.

[mightiswrong]

There are no "controlling factors" beyond ourselves and nothing worth investing in other than ourselves.

but i have a small business and people depend on me for work..
but i completely admire your chosen way of life, and the changes you have put into place regarding your family..
i would love to eat only self made locally procured organic food, but that is out of the question for now..but hopefully one day..;)
i ask, do your grandchildren play online at your house?

I am also a small business enterprise where people reley on my wares, I make Musical insruments, shoes and boot, spinning wheels, we hand spin and knit gallore, do all sorts of leatherwork and make a myriad of other useful items which are the building blocks of society in a way, practicality is our motto.

We have saved many thousands of pounds by living this way, most of the items have been made from recycled materials from skips and auction room throw aways, you ought to see some of the things that people call undesirables, we have just made a spinning wheel out of some old window sills which were 2 inches thick and of the very best Brazillian mahogany, to buy this timber new would have cost around 160 pounds.

Secret to getting what you need is to learn new skills, if you already have hand skills all you need to do then is use your mental skills to make the changes happen, its food for the mind and body alike.

No, we do not let our children now grown up not the littler ones use anything remotely connected to the internet while they are here, we will go into the workshop and cut and make something from wood leather etc, much more fun seeing their tiny minds working around their hand to eye cordinations.

It takes many years to collate the skills and practice makes perfect, and with an uncertain future in the pipeline, there's no better time to start.

[rollotomaz1]

Top comment there" Mighty" we must do for ourselves lest we have nothing at all, learn a new skill today for your tomorrows, no matter how small because one day we might just need to use that skill/s.

Secter is to work together for the whole.

[rollotomaz1]

Anyone managed to make any changes and boycot anything as yet,

[majorlee]

Anyone managed to make any changes and boycot anything as yet,

yes

i have boycotted everything that sales as organic/bio - its a complete con!

anything that comes from Israel (u will be surprised how much) have avoided out of consideration to there acts of genocide

anything with aspartame is banned in my family and trying to break the plastic bottle chain atm, which aint easy

[aqualava]

I buy a lot of stuff off of Etsy and I sell on there as well, so I am helping people with small business not only here in the states but around the world and I am supporting the belief that you can enjoy what you do while earning a living. I am not crazy about the internet or the paypal thing, but you gotta start somewhere. I don't support all small businesses either. For instance, there are several small businesses in my area that are charging way too much for their products, not because they took a lot of time too produce or because they have something really special, but because they are snotty and feel they can rip people off because they are in a neighborhood where people can afford it. I think that's wrong and therefore I refuse to support them.

[senseifil]

i've been boycotting everything except groceries for 7 years now.

[pezza19]

We are a minority, we arent even 1% of the british public... people don't bite the hand that feeds, and it's do or die simple as, you don't buy food you dead, you don't drink water you dead, you go nowhere to go because you dont work and just renengade your a bum on the street.

What we need is some type of mass communication like radio//television// internet, but it has to be calculative, the best weapon we have is the internet.

We would need to get a hundred truthers together on the site, and have battle plans to tackle things in co ordination,

spam all the big websites and everything, youtube,facebook,twitter,bebo, people where masses of people are addicted, then just smack them in the face with bullet point things to get em thinking for themselves.

[creepingdave]

As evil as it is, Facebook seems to be the best way of reaching the attention of most people. You can organise events. Any other websites would just not gather enough attention, no matter the content.

On a side note, I barely consume anything that isn't local anyway, except most drinks..

Hello Aqua

Those small businesses in your area, Do they make the stuff they sell by themselves if not these are the type of people I would never buy from, this is the main problem in the world that is ruining things from both ends

By getting people somewhere to work for nothing and hyping up the prices to make a quick buck, its the quick buck mentailty that is going to bugger everything up.

You normally find that these types of businesses are run by people who cannot make anything but are good with numbers, my dad calls them NOWT's and these people will be the worst effected in times of trouble because they cannot do anything and tend to be chancers in life, watch out for these types or they will take everything from you without you knowing it.

The people with the spanners in their hands and who have worked hard and built up their lives for what they have and wear are the ones Iwould trust more.

Of course we need to buy food but we can at least give our local shops the chance they deserve for supporting us for many years, some for generations, its how we educate the mases to have or gain some insight to what is afoot.

I used to think like this when I was young, and I can tell you from experience people will most definately bite off both of the hands that feed them when they are desperate, our small group of freinds here often share things and help each other without exchanging real cash, and we see a problem in as many ways,

There is this new guy turned up on the scene who was an odd jobbing joiner type, mostly office worker from what we can gather and he has sort of over the last two years, latched onto one of our group and has slowly moved in on him, he has recently gone out of business what we know of and his partner is also his landlady,

We are onto him though and he knows it, this guy is a really sneaky begger and gives everyone the cold shoulder whenever we visit my freinds workshop so he can have a free Reign over him, we are going to get him cornered one day and give him a good sorting, before it ends in tears for the other guy, who is now just starting to age and in his 60's, its an awful long time since I hurt my nuckles, but the time to do so might just need to be again very soon.

On the part about comm's the internet is a good place to make people aware of certain things but it can never replace the local scene which must be shared by word of mouth, arm chair comm's only works if you are a huge group that is spread out, but the W's3 has one real weakness and that's big brother is also listening right now, their think tanks have already done their estimates as to what anyone is going to do, and they are right now putting out a thesis and an
action to see what our reactions will be, many of the topics that are posted on Icke are hand picked from the media and posted here, these are those thesis.

Dear Sir or Madam, or common base or popular.

Nice try ;), Ha

Someone is already doing for himself and theirs and doing what he can to spread the word here, please don't try to procrasternate and go use your energy on someone else, Never Mind, I thought like that after my first pint :D,

Must go and prepare lunch now, some nice home made bread with local cheese on toast, Ummmma.

Hello Aqua
Those small businesses in your area, Do they make the stuff they sell by themselves if not these are the type of people I would never buy from, this is the main problem in the world that is ruining things from both ends

Some of them do make their products and some do not. I feel that many of these business owners are trying to convince consumers that they are making a change and doing good for the community, but in reality it's all just a self serving marketing scam. These are the most dangerous people of all. I expect to pay more for products sold by a privately owned business or if its a handcrafted specialty item-that's not an issue for me, but if they are doing this to prey on the naive then that's just awful..but then again, if people are gonna remain ignorant than so be it. People need to watch out for this because it's happening a lot. I used to work in a gift shop that sold crystals and new age gifts and the manager was marking up the items to the point of blatant robbery and she did this because she knew there were people in our neighborhood that could afford it, yet she didn't realize how many potential customers probably walked in the store and turned right back around. It's not about community at all, it's about self entitlement. Funny enough that store is now suffering so maybe this means people are starting to wake up. Another example is a local bead store I used to frequent to get my supplies. Everyone seemed so nice and the tree-hugging types, until I caught on to the bullshit they were feeding me and telling me things that weren't true so that I would buy from their store only and I ended up purchasing things I didn't even need! I began to realize they were cashing in on my ignorance, but then I started educating myself and stopped supporting their store. If people continue to honor a value system that believes that deception is ok, then you are honoring the beliefs that the illuminati have used to keep us imprisoned for ages.

Its not your fault or anyone elses come to that to be drawn into their web of consumerism, but it sounds like your are now awake to what is happening, all to often to the masses, now your aware of an alternative, you might have to get used to others reacting very differently towards you if you share your findings with them.

What I would advise is that one tries to take themselves out of the system as much as possible, it gets easier the more you practice, we binned our TV for the main part of the day for a start and only watched the news a 6.0 now we never watch it because its a waste of our precious time when we can be makng something instead.

When we shop at the local family run store we notice what people are buying as their normal stuff and its quite amuzing how much crap they are buying, most of which is in fancy boxes where the packaging is costing more than the goods inside it, these days we make all of our meals from raw materials.

I have said it if I havn't said it a thousand times before, we need to spend our money with the makers of things, where quality is far beter value the quantity and you actually get a better deal from these people, than the middle man who is paying nothing for it from parts forein and ripping your eyes out and coming back for the sockets from the end user, all large corporations are the same,

Now we are seeing is the middle classed shops not being able to make a living selling the usual crap, this is the biggest warning we can ever be given, the end of all nations echonomy is on the very edge waiting to slip over, next year will bring hyper inflation, so an extra skills will help you ride out the very long storm to come, if we simply sit still and wait, its going to be too late, we must do for ourselves and help those who want to help themselves, just lke it was in the 1850's USA where a greater majority were making a good living.

Check out some history books.

[aqualava]

I really wish we didn't need computers. I mean they are cool in some ways but they make me paranoid. Unfortunately we cant let go of everything. At least right now we can't.

[muddyleopard]

i don't think it would go unnoticed, i think it would have a huge affect, remember we are the majority, we have ALL the poswer, and with such peaceful, none violent protests as the OP suggests we would stop being whispers in the shadows and be a shout in their faces.

Respect to the OP :D

EDIT: have moved the thread into 'what can we do' so that it doesn't get buried in todays news and it suites the OP :D

i came to the same idea in my sleep last night ... a lot of people are mad as hell, but scared to do anything because they are still terrified of 'authority' - yet they are disgusted with bankers and war and being lied to.

however, while they may be too scared to do 'something', i am sure a lot would join in by doing nothing. doing nothing - not participating - for a day would send a huge message that we can withdraw our participation en masse and we are not happy. a do nothing day does not need to have a specific political agenda - that would alienate a lot of people - but could be simply an expression of being tired of not being consulted and disapproval.

with internet, spreading the word would be instant. a web site with a simple 'count me in' button would keep tabs on how many people are going to join in, and inspire the more cautious to join.

a do nothing day can have different levels of participation, so even the timid can keep their jobs, but full-on participation could include:

don't shop or spend
don't watch tv
don't use the electric grid
switch off your phone
don't use banks or atms
don't drive
phone in sick if you work
don't buy a newspaper

if even a small percentage of the world joined, there would be huge tremors - supermarkets profits down, advertisers' budgets wasted, propoganda unwatched ...

perhaps we would see people who KNOW the official story is a lie take courage from knowing that they are not fools and that millions of us are mad as hell ...

if you are serious about this, i will volunteer here and now to do what i can, and there are enough skilled people in this forum to launch this. all it takes is a handful of people to put together a mass 'civil disobedience' action anyone can participate in without fear of reprisal ... "after all, officer, i'm doing ... nothing".

so who is up for helping persuade the world to sit on its arse in protest?

This is exactly what I said in topic 1, but your spot on Muddy ;) it would get the whole country listening, the first stage could be a day, next a weekend or two days and so on, the media would grab hold of it right away, the biggest and easiest peaceful non compliance of them all.

You could stock up for a week and simply stay at home, keep the kids off school and so on, of course the immediate ehconomy would suffer somewhat but it really would get a message across to those who have been using our own money against us, to sit up and listen, we are not playing your silly game any more.

This may sound like a silly game in itself but hey its worth a try, pass it around more and see what the folks think.

I really wish we didn't need computers. I mean they are cool in some ways but they make me paranoid. Unfortunately we cant let go of everything. At least right now we can't.

I have taken the first step towards less exposure to the PC, all my new business is done by letter only now, I find its much better because it gets rid of the time wasters of which there are many, now I only get sane enquiries and those who are genuine potential customers and don't have a myriad of e-mails to trudge through every day, I'm still using the PC of course but on a much lower volume.

The main and only reason for keeping the computer is my photography hobby and talking to you guys :D
