Shut Down the U.S. Economy!

STOP NYC Inc. | 30.03.2003 00:22

Worldwide boycotts of U.S. based corporations will go a long way toward reduction of financing for the Bush regime's terrorist war!

The world must act to help stop the U.S. war madness! Boycotts of U.S. multinationals worldwide will reduce financing for America's war of terror on Iraq and other nations on their "hit list". We must use their insatiable lust for maximume profit as the weapon that will stop their war cold!

Boycott the State

Stop paying taxes and boycott major corporations, use your money in socially responsible ways without sending it via the government who generally piss it up the wall, think of the "arms sales are good for the economy and therefore need subsidising" kind of logic.
Let's use this hellish scenario to effect genuine conciousness in the otherwise politically dormant. Show your communities a better way than central planners stealing our money to fund their own neo-liberal vested interests.

You have to make sure you're only hurting the people you want to hurt. I know countless Americans, workers, people who didn't vote for Bush, who are unemployed because of Bush's incompetance. Publicising the Boycott Esso campaign (www.stopesso.com) amoungst protesters - there is after all a lot of anti-war feeling amoungst the middle classes, the 2 car families - might be a good way to go about it. No doubt Esso has plenty to gain from this war.

Robert Fisk tells the truth:

THEY DO NOT CARE. I LIVE HERE.

We in the peace movement are trying to disrupt our own economy to hurt the ruling class. San Fransico has done a wonderful job. We are planning larger shut-downs across the US. But it is hard to work from within the heart of the Empire. Our government and corporate institutions are relatively strong. The police have been brutal. Racism against Arabs and Muslims seems to be increasing. This war will never end if it is left entirely to the US public to stop. We are counting on outside support. Please boycott any US corporation, especially war profiteers. You also must continue your boycotts after the war "ends". If the ruling class listens to anything it is their bank account. Money spent on imported goods give the rich a higher proportion of the wealth of trade than domestically produced goods. Boycotting US products also prevents the US government from being able to collect taxes, as there will be less economy to tax. Out of every dollar that goes into the US government coffers ~$.52 goes to the military, and about $.13 is going to fund this war. Please boycott US goods.

From the New York Times yesterday, quoting an American soldier:
"We had a great day," Sergeant Schrumpf said. "We killed a lot of people... We dropped a few civilians," Sergeant Schrumpf said, "but what do you do?"

This sentiment is rampant in the U.S. My own countrymen are saying things like this. Yesterday in my town, Eugene Oregon USA, the anti-war demonstration was countered by an equally-large PRO-WAR demonstration. Children, girls and boys, were yelling "Burn Iraq to the Ground."

Please boycott the United States, and actively work to block U.S. companies from getting business where you live. If the entire world does this, it will send a message that all warmongers in Washington will hear, since they are friends and brothers to the people running the multinational corporations. Without corporate power, the sham regime here will crumble.

Without corporate power, the sham regime here will crumble. In that sort of destabilized environment, even the tame US media will begin to turn on the ruling regime, and the parents who told those children to "Burn Iraq" might begin to understand the relationship of that statement and the loss of their income - nothing compared to what the Iraqis are suffering at American hands.

Boycott my country, for your own good and ours.
