Boycott Amazon: $$$ Let Your Wallet do the Talking!

Received this message, I wanted to share.  Do not think we are powerless to effect change in public and especially in private corporation policies.  Just look at FOX News.  The Murdoch sons made the choice to self-preserve as soon as the perceived the inevitability of a  Joe Biden adminstration writing on the proverbial wall.  Fox shutdown all talk of possible election malfeasance on their network, immediately shifting gears into "what a Biden administartion would like", including cabinet picks and likely policy focus and changes.  So viewers like me, independent thinkers, simply went elsewhere to search for our news and information.  The result?  FOX ratings are in the tank now, particularly the evening line-up, and in particular "The Story", with Martha Mcallum.  Neilson rating stats indicate Mcallum viewers have made the shift over to Newsmax, during this time slot which is hosted a proud patriot and former Marine Greg Kelly.  No doubt other FOX shows will soon follow "The Story" into the tank.  At the conclusion of Tucker Carlson's show last night, Britt Hume --who I used to respect-- came on uttering the Republican self-preservation acquiessence mantra, namely that "the election is over, fraud should not be investigated and the country should mindlessly unite around the incoming Biden administration."  That was the end of watching Tucker Carlson's show for me, and this was last remaining show I used to watch on FOX news.  I'm done with FOX news: period!

Anyway, here is the message I received regarding holding Amazon corporation accountable for its gross free speech and censorship violations in shutting the social media platform Parler down:




"I would like to get this message going out and circulating to as many people as possible.  Please pass this message along and share it with as many patriots as possible!

For too long now Americans have been asleep while the left has silently maneuvered, waging a secret war that is now coming into fruition.  The very fact that big corporations like Amazon, Apple, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Google could, with a coordinated effort, effectively shutdown free speech and communication/sharing of information and ideas among independent, conservative-leaning thinkers is beyond alarming!  What Amazon did  --aided by Apple and Google-- in shutting down Parler was a coordinated effort --in violation of anti-trust laws-- to shutdowm  communication and information sharing among independents and conservatives in a blatant effort to eliminate effective competiton, toward the end of outright controlling speech. By controlling speech these arrogant elites are able to effectively regulate thought, thereby ensuring conformity to approved leftist ideology thought-narratives as promulgated by the propagandist mainstream and authoritarian social media companies.  If we hope to save our nation and to preserve our most treasured FREEDOM OF SPEECH, we must act immediately in a timely and decisive manner in order to prevent other companies from entertaining the idea enacting similar measures against conservatives, penalizing independent thinkers by denying them access to goods and services.     

Given the fact that we are coming late to this battle the sacrifices we must make in order to make a meaningful stand against the authoritarian silencing of our 1st Amendment Right to FREE SPEECH --and therby our right to freedom of independent thought-- will not be easy!  Nonetheless, these are sacrifices we must willingly, boldly and bravely make in order to send out a resoundingly clear and powerful message to these rouge corporations and the Democratic Party elected officicials who back these corporations up over "We the People" (i.e., by the non-enforcement our nation's laws in this respect, simply because the actions of these rouge corporations work in support of the Democratic/leftist agenda of silencing conservatives and putting an end to dissenting/independent thought).  These corporations, and Amazon in particular have over-stepped their bounds, violating the public's trust as well as anti-trust laws.  We can no longer simply sit back and hope that our elected U.S. Congressional members will step in and save the day.  The U.S. Congressional Houses have consistently proven to be weak, unresolved, not unified and wholly ineffective over the past several years in such matters --particularly with respect to the recent act of  blindly certifying electors from contested states with widespread evidence of election fraud and violations of voter laws in each of the six repsective states.  Our meaningful action now will serve as a profound deterretnt against other companies engaging in such abhorrent behavior in the future (e.g., banks denying accounts or services, airlines refusing to allow people of a certain political persuasion the right to fly, email and photo accounts and social media accounts being shutdown). 

While Google and Apple played a key part in removing the Parler App from their stores, it was effectively the giant corporation Amazon that dealt Parler its final death-blow by shutting down server access to the Parler platform.  For this reason, I am urging all concerned American citizens (true Patriots!) to STOP BUYING ANY AND EVERYTHING FROM AMAZON.COM FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS.  It won't be convenient or easy, but we can and must find alternative vendors for our material needs.  In doing so, we might just help to give our small businesses a much needed bump during this time of pandemic economic downturn.  Our unified courage in standing up to the gross violations commited by Amazon will be HUGE and it will go a long ways toward sending a clear message to Amazon and companies in the like that they will indeed be held accountable for their actions.  "We the People" still matter, we still possess the ability to think and act for ourselves and we will passionately defend our righ to FREEDOM OF SPEECH (THOUGHT).  May God Bless and keep the United States of America during these trying and pivotal times! #WALKAWAY"


2/1/2021  I have not bought a single thing from Amazon in weeks! I will admit, it was rough at first having to actually spend my physical time and energy to search out and find the items I need.  But once, I actually got out there and started doing my own legwork, I began meeting people who were genuinely grateful for my patronage ... from store clerks, to managers and owners. There are also other retailers with on-line presence beyond Amazon, for those who need to shop from the comfort of home. Making the effort to shop loca1 and support retailers other than the great-and-powerful-Amazon, you know it felt really good!  It's great to be doing something to help these brick and mortar stores stay in business in the midst of this awful China-pandemic.  That is the American way:  we help one another in times of crisis and shopping local, brick and mortar stores helps our fellow Americans, most especially during these troubling times of pandemic and economic downturn.  God Bless and keep the U.S.A.!!!

My next endeavor will be to STOP buying any and everything made with "Made in China" tag on it.  Our government seems to have no interest in holding China (CCP) accountable for unleashing Covid-19 onto the world and then with the help of WHO lying about it.  Nor do governemts in other countries seem overly concerned with holding China accountable??? Absolutely boggles my mind; why wouldn't you want to be pre-emptive towards the end of ever allowing this sort of thing from happening again?  Life in the age of pandemics is now an acceptable NORM?!?  Are you kidding me???!!??  But we've got more important fish to fry:  like killing off U.S. Energy Independence.  Way to go Joe!  You ran on "creating jobs and growing the economy" and  yet, within your first 7 days in office you've managed to kills thousands of high-paying, long term jobs and deal our economy a major death blow.  Not to mention muddying the waters with one our longest standing allies.  Truly brilliant!?!
