On the Steve Bannon War Room show this evening, Steve Bannon closed the show by suggesting we STOP all purchases except absolute essentials. The video is on Rumble. You can view the comments as he closes out the show. Go to Rumble and jump to the 47-minute mark. Let's hope we can get the 74 million of us to comply since the elites, media, and deep state want us to go away. Let's just do it -- and take our pocketbook with us.
He didn't say stop eating.
And cut the cable. Finally did it and have been saving a bundle.
I agree with Steve. In fact I have been saying this for a couple of years.
I agree with Steve with one caveat. Yes, reduce purchases to a minimum but patronize the mom&pops. They have been crushed enough by Covid already.
The big boxes can go to hell. The mom&pops are like family.
I haven’t been buying from Amazon since Trump has been running.
Easy. Just don’t shop at Wal-Mart or Amazon. And don’t waste your time at Twitter or Facebook. Now we all need to do that.
Nope. SEA or strangely, Brazil only.
To each his own: I prefer to buy, but from conservative or at least quietly neutral businesses.
Still spending but targeting...
I disagree. I say shift your buying. Shift from the big boxes and Amazon and go local.
Support the mom&pops. If I can get it from a mom&pop, I will go without. Local/generic is the way to go.
There is a bonus. The big boxes and national chains advertise on MARXIST media. The mom&pops advertise in the pennysaver and the valpak.
Keep your money local because it keeps your liberty.
But you wont.
Yup. Anyone remember when Bath House was immaculated into office?
Who is John Galt?
Many of us stopped purchasing, only what was truly needed, and as local or 2nd hand as possible. I even stopped charity donations. Saved that to help people we actually know.
So yeah, I’ve been screaming that it’s time to shrug again and still. And NOTHING from China. Please, nothing from China.
And, no Alexa or Amazon Prime or anything at all to do with Amazon.
————————
And that will cause an instant divorce (at least for me) No Alexa (echo dot) means no music at all. Radio reception is spotty at best in Northern Cebu, and when we do get radio, it’s urban contemporary, er hip hop/ rap music or drippy 70’s and 80’s Love Ballard pop.
And Filipinos absolutely love their music. Wife demands it...
Well my wife told me she won’t give up her Amazon Prime nor her Facebook account. Oh well I tried.
“To those of you who retain some remnant of dignity and the will to live your lives for yourselves, you have the chance to make the same choice. Examine your values and understand that you must choose one side or the other. Any compromise between good and evil only hurts the good and helps the evil.
If you’ve understood what I’ve said, stop supporting your destroyers. Don’t accept their philosophy. Your destroyers hold you by means of your endurance, your generosity, your
innocence, and your love. Don’t exhaust yourself to help build the kind of world that you see around you now. In the name of the best within you, don’t sacrifice the world to thosewho will take away your happiness for it”
- John Galt’s speech (excerpt)
Start asking for them. I told a local store that I don’t want Chinese crap and if that’s all they have I’ll look elsewhere. We also asked websites like Wayfair to display country of origin and and they have. I have bypassed pieces I really liked because they were made in China. We just have to start asking.
You can also contact US manufacturers and artisans and find out local outlets.keep asking. Even if stores tell you it’s all they have, keep asking and expressing your displeasure at being forced to buy crap. Just keep asking.

Er, I’m currently in the Philippines due to job loss and the Coronavirus nonsense in the US.
SM malls, Ayala and Gaisano only pretty much carry only Communist Chinese crap now. Wasn’t like that even 5 years ago or even 2 years ago, when most products were of US, European, South Korean or Japanese in origin.
Thus I’m forced to buy online to get American goods. When I was in the US until recently, I only bought Duluth Trading. Not a piece of Communist Chinese clothing in sight.
Good for you, I’m doing the same.

Why are you localhosting me?
I’m in. I’m a partial prepper and have plenty of food, water and everything else. My only remaining vulnerability is art supplies. . .but I just stocked up on those as well.
I have not used Amazon in years and am ready to hunker down and save my money for my children’s inheritance.
