Hit them where it hurts hardest!

It seems that what motivates the powers that be is the love and aquisition of money. The love of money is the root of all evil (to quote it exactly) and control of the financial markets is the goal and well as other agendas. So hit the big corporations right where it hurts.
Shop local, put your money back into the local economy, yes it may take up more of your time, the alternative is filling the coffers of Walmart, Tesco and alike. Visit farmers markets, or farm shops, go to the local butcher and grocer, fruit & veg shop, I purchased 6 free range eggs for 96p today as opposed to £2 in Asda and Tesco.
Boycot oil companies, buy your petrol from 1 or 2 companies. Boycot the likes of BP, Esso. Put your money into a local credit union again this serves the local community. Look for ethical companies that don't trade with countries that have oppresive regimes or any business that provides them with weapons.
Any other suggestions greatly received......

That is the right idea...

The most useful tool I have seen for researching coorporations is KnowMore.org

you can search companies and find out if they behave in an ethical menner...

It was started by one of the best lyracists I have ever heard.. a rapper named
Sage Francis and his friend Benard Dolan They have been singing about the NWO for over a decade now...

his song Makeshift Patriot was written one month after 9-11 before anybody had put out much of the truth dealing with the issue. What I really admired is the fact that he was getting kicked off stage for singing it after only a month after 9-11...
It much longer than a month for me to realize the truth

here is a link to the song and to the website knowmore.org

check it out, its worth the time

Excellent, this is what we need to do, get right to the heart of the problem and become the solution.

it is as close to "not participating" that we can get at this time in my eyes

We started doing this a lot this year. My wife is really into shopping for products within a 50 mile radius as a way to be GREEN. She was regular at our local farmers market and the egss and milk we got this year were great tasting and cheaper. The honey I'm using is bottled within a mile of us. We just harvested a lot of apples from our yard as well. We're canned applesauce and already made a pie.

Next year it'll be more heirloom seeds in raised beds. Locally obtaining products cuts the fuel costs of getting products and less gas usage means less air pollution. I'd encourage anyone to do whatever possible to support local crops/products/services.

This is fantastic, if we all focus on solutions rather than the problem we can end this whole scenario of control. Take back your power to effect change, come up with solutions that you have tried and work and share them with everyone..
