Unfortunately the reality is if you put a dozen people in a room they can't even work out what they want for breakfast let a lone a nation of people getting together to effect positive change 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the reality is if you put a dozen people in a room they can't even work out what they want for breakfast let a lone a nation of people getting together to effect positive change ok i get ya but the people behind the corporations are happy with a system where a small group of people can form a government in a room and decide things for a whole nation because they know all they have to do is control that small group of people and then they control the entire nation i will raise one downside with the boycott idea which has been made by james evan pilato which is that he has boycotted raytheon all of his life and yet they keep getting tons of business! So we have that even when we with hold money from corporations the corrupt government will take our money in taxes and then give it to chosen corporations so its not all completely simply but effectively we need to start depriving the beast of our money and instead feeding something new and better which is ours and not theirs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately as I said in my last post that will never happen for the reasons I stated. The practicality of voting with your money sounds good and might make the individual feel like they're are doing something and therefore increase the own self esteem,but unfortunately will have no effect. The reality of the situation is if we are dealing with multi national companies worth billions and billions of dollars your buggered using that strategy , using your example I haven't been to Macca's or KFC for over 30 years ,but the fuckers are still here, a prime example, in our town woolies super market moved in, no one wanted it ,protests police the whole works and jerks ,the shop was built no one went the company said they were prepared to run at a loss for the next 8 years , during that time more people moved into the area and started to patronize the store now the car park is always full. So I would have to ask the question how many people would have to boycott and organization and for how long to have any real impact,because all your offering to companies that big is a tax incentive. In my last post when I agreed you can effect change with your dollars ,I should have qualified that with small to medium national companies Edited June 25, 2021 by peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know that the actions, spending and behaviours of the masses is what shapes the economy and society Who controls the herd shapes reality This is why we keep losing....because even those who say they are 'awake' still won't be ruthless enough with themselves to make the necessary changes to reject the beast system and create and support an alternative. Everyone makes excuses and rationalises why they aren't going to make any changes. Instead they keep pinning their hopes on someone else coming to save them and it NEVER HAPPENS WHO CONTROLS THE HERD CONTROLS REALITY and the herds consciousness is not elevated enough to make the correct ethical and moral choices required to actually re-sculpt our reality into something new Edited June 25, 2021 by Macnamara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macnamara Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 On 6/24/2021 at 10:19 AM, Macnamara said: What shapes our world? Your spending patterns shape this world If you eat at mcdonalds then mcdonalds makes more profits and it then uses those profits to open more stores in more cities and towns across the world. Your money helps them grow But mcdonalds products are not nutritious. They are not food they are junk which draws people in with addictive flavourings. So by spending your money there you are helping to fill the world up with non-nutritious junk that is pretending to be food; this means that your spending is a vote for a world full of junk and devoid of good things If you want to defeat the beast system then you have to stop giving it your money. STOP FEEDING THE BEAST. The answer is so simple but no one wants to hear it. Just stop eating mcdonalds This principle can be applied to every aspect of your life. If you don't want the corporatocracy spying on you then don't use their social media like facebook, don't use their email services like gmail, stop doing online searches with google, stop using smart phones and apps and don't have smart devices or bugging devices like ALEXA in your house the answer is: taking PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for your own actions in the day to day. The question is: can you do it? Are you committed to freedom or do you want to be an unhealthy, comforted, plugged-in and surveilled slave? 06/24/21 Nestlé Wants You to Think It’s a ‘Health and Wellness’ Company — But 70% of Its Products Are Junk Food As Nestlé seeks to become a global leader in food allergy treatments and personalized vitamins, the world’s largest food company hasn’t really changed — 70% of its products are junk food. By Dr. Joseph Mercola Story at-a-glance: Nestlé’s former chief executive called it a “nutrition, health and wellness company.” Yet as the company seeks to be a global leader in food allergy treatments and looks forward to launching a personalized line of vitamins, 70% of their products are junk food. The food industry has a history of confusing consumers, using strong PR campaigns that call “processed food” a misunderstood term, hiding behind the science propaganda of the ILSI and using illegal tactics to achieve their goals. After a boycott and bad press caused the Grocery Manufacturers Association to lose membership, they regained standing in the industry by simply changing their name to Consumer Brands Association in 2020. No matter how much renovating, reconfiguring or reprogramming manufacturers do to junk food ingredients or processing, the products will never be a healthy alternative food source. They are large contributors to obesity, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease and may increase the risk of bone fractures. In recent decades, the food system has dramatically changed, which in turn has impacted food safety and human health. Company documents from Nestlé, one of the largest food manufacturers, reveal 70% of its products are junk foods. Vegetable oils and changes in how cereals, salads and meats are grown have dramatically altered the overall safety and nutrition of most people’s diets. Americans spend 57.9% of their food budget on ultra-processed foods, like those produced by Nestlé. This means more than half of what the average person in America eats are foods that can be purchased in a local gas station or convenience store. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/nestle-70-percent-products-junk-food/?utm_source=salsa&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=8e217a08-e387-40fb-a583-0028367951b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
