Most of the calls have been for boycotts or embargos of the U.S. and/or Israel. Most postings include lists or links to lists of companies which are U.S./Israel based or have investments in Israel. The main problem with these lists are they tend to be quite lengthy, and hard to keep track of.

There is a simpler way we can do this. Since the global economy is monopolistic and mainly consists of multi-national corporations owned and managed by an even lower number of mega-"parent" or "holding" companies, it might be just about as effective to target the largest members of these. For example: Pepsico is the holding company of Pepsi Cola Corp., but also Taco Bell, Frito Lay, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a number of other mostly snack food manufacturers and distributors. The same is true of even larger rival Coca Cola. The point is to go after the "flagships" of these mega-conglomerates.

In using economic direct action(boycotts, etc.) to reduce the funding of the U.S/Israeli war machines, I suggest focusing on the following list of Prime Targets:

General Motors Corp, Ford Motor Co., Chrysler.-G.M. is the largest corporation in the U.S. and an example of how dependent the U.S. economy is on the automobile/oil.( Ever notice that about two thirds of all advertising on television is for automobiles?)

Exxon/Mobil Oil Cos.: To run all those cars requires fuel. Also these are parents for much of petro-chemical industry, plastics etc.

General Electric: Home appliances, and other electrical gadgets. If it has "G.E." label, leave it in the store.

Microsoft Corp.: Why do people keep buying this crappy, bug-ridden software? Tell your friends, library operators, cybercafe owners, etc.: FIND SOMETHING BETTER! PLEASE!

I.B.M.:While we're at it, how about some better hardware than the junk put out by these imbeciles?

A.T.&T:I dumped this bunch years ago-impossible to deal with-why do so many still use this tele-com DIS-service?

Coca-Cola:Carbonated candy water-YYEECCHH!!!-Who actually drinks this? There's some actually quite decent sodas put out by local/regional producers if you only bother to look and check labels a bit.

Pepsico(Pepsi Cola): Not much better. Same as for Coke, try your local/regional sodas.

McDonalds: Need I say anything? Just the name makes me wrech!

Colgate/Palmolive: Soap, toothpaste, etc. Overpriced and not very effective-but that's their whole point-make you use a lot to get decently clean so you have to keep going back and paying(a lot) for more. Organized criminals. There are local/regional producers of soap/toothpaste that do the job for less money. Just requires a little more patience and looking to find.

There you have it. A decent list of some of the biggest U.S. corps. to avoid if you don't want to help fund their world hegemonic war. I'm sure many can think of others to add-please do. But this should be easier than trying to keep track of them plus all their numberless subsidaries. And all you really need to do to avoid them is check your labels when you go to purchase what you need. If it says "so and so co. is a subsidiary of (one of the listed corps.)", then put it back and go to another.

We can stop these tyrants. All it requires is some patience and vigilence on our part.
