One thing we can do — actually a couple of things.

1. Cancel your prime subscription to Amazon, and order books at another site. Also merchandise. Try Costco.

2. Secondly, cancel you subscription to the Washington Post, period!!!!!!

A couple of notes.

First, your reaction is a good one. And there are other reactions that are quite ambitious as well.

A boycott of Amazon and WAPO can be felt but not fatal. Tha Amazon experience has many comfortable in their camp. But many will be awake and do like you suggested.

So ‘felt but not fatal’.

Second, understand that the NY Fed, the CIA, Wall St. insiders, the ultra-wealthy liberal progressives are all in cahoots. Sounds like a conspiracy theory but it’s not one.

Here’s evidence:

Amazon’s profit margins are low. They first turned a small percentage-wise profit in 2004. They have not been consistent since. Hence, it would seem to follow that AMZN Bezos would look for large contracts to help stabilize the company.

There’s no doubt that Bezos is a very gifted sales and operations person. But it was not the force of his personality as much as it was his backing.

Note that Bezos is worth around $46 billion. He did not earn that through sales. He is worth that because of Wall St.’s wealth concentrating infrastructure. In other words, he is a Wall St. creation, as is Zuckerberg, as are so many others. There is nothing vital to civilization that these progressives did to earn the fortunes they are rated at.

So a solid observation is that there is a ‘selection process’ to take fairly talented persons and make them obscenely wealthy, much more than is commensurate to their skill set.

That’s not conspiracy, that is observable fact.

Now going back to your suggestion, it can be felt but it is not fatal. To make it fatal would be as tall an order as suggesting that some conservative wildcats infiltrate Wall St. and grab control of the wealth concentrating infrastructure. Such wildcatters would have to be both ‘in the culture’ of Wall St. as well as determined patriots where money, wealth and fame is secondary to the greater mission. That’s asking a lot but such people do indeed exist.

The mission would be to infiltrate and seize control of the wealth system and use it to maintain the comforts that consumers have grown used to while at the same time acting politically in the opposite way as the ultra-wealthy liberal hustlers. About 60 years ago that was how it was. There were Donald Trump types heading up the largest enterprises. They were for the most part conservative, patriotuc, not afraid to say Merry Christmas, and pro-life. Since then the tables have turned. Now it is the time to turn them back.

Some background data leading to an example:

* Kmart has teamed up with Sears; both are doing very poorly
* Walmart is now offering free shipping as a reaction to Amazon Prime’s free shipping. But Walmart does not have the online presence of Amazon.
* JC Penny’s is closing 14% of its stores; doing poorly.

Example: After seizing control of the Wall St. wealth machine, buy up struggling retailers, inject massive amounts of cash in revamping them, turn them into ‘fulfillment centers’ similar to Amazon’s centers and start improving logistics to a goal of outcompeting the ultra-wealthy progressives, then plain and simple they have competition.

Think in terms of a broad outline of a strategy that outcompetes these people. If the goal is to control a civilization, a vast region or space, it is necessary to control high-level banking, a wealth creation machine like Wall St. backed by a central bank, the largest media outlets, the elite educational institutions for recruiting new human prototypes that fit into a conservative matrix, political institutions, courts, independence creating mechanisms, etc.

Liberal progressives control a large part of the above. They are losing some of it now but they will regroup at some point and wait for their moment to retake that which they lost and to expand upon what they control.

Conservatives have plenty of hard-driving smart competitors. I call them wildcatters. They are not necessarily coiffed and trim, or trained at elite universities. They are needed to take on those parts of the wealth creating infrastructure that liberal progressives have been in control of. But where are these wildcatters?

Conservatives are now winning in the political space, the media space, the battle for the minds and hearts of young adults, the philosophical space. But to make the fatal blow to the Left, it requires dislodging them from the wealth creation machine,

Conservatives, smart ones, should ask themselves, is Bezos, Schmidt, Page, Brin, Cook, Gates, Cuban, Buffett, Zuckerberg, Prince Charles, etc. etc. are any of these persons and those like them, are they better than you? Do they possess intelligence that is orders of magnitude above your own?

No, they are not better, more capable people. They are insiders. It really isn’t much more than that.

So where are the conservative movers and shakers? One of them is President. But he’s only one man. Where are hundreds of others? Where are the true patriots? And why are they not at the top?

So yeah, let’s boycott them and make them hurt, but let’s also back our own wildcatters in creating things in parallel competition to those things which they have occupied and laid claim to as their own.

Try Costco.

Costco is a leftists cesspool. Wal-Mart is only slightly less leftist because I suppose all of Sam Walton's genes haven't been totally lost.
