Its not 'Punk Rock' to support Oppression or Why you should Burn your 'Chucks'
Thats right, NIKE uses slave labor, not like its news or anything... AND Converse was bought by NIKE in 1997 so burn your Chucks while your at it... Your not 'punk rock' when you support oppression!
More than a decade ago, shoe giant Nike came under fire for its use of sweatshop labor in the production of its products. Most of the criticism focused on its Indonesian workforce, where workers, largely young women, were forced to labor under harsh conditions and abusive supervisors. In 1997, filmmaker Michael Moore made Nike’s abuses a subject of his film “The Big One,” and met with Nike CEO Phil Knight. Knight explained that the reason his company was using low-wage labor in Indonesia is because “Americans don’t want to make shoes.”

Declaration of the Occupation of New York City
As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

Is the Tea Party Treasonous?
Now a lot of people may think calling these actions treason may be going a little too far on my part, but I strongly disagree. Sure, in a traditional sense we think of treason as selling secrets to a foreign government, or switching sides from our military to our enemy’s, like Benedict Arnold. But, especially these days when multi-national corporations and conglomerations are at least as powerful as most, if not all, nations on Earth – particularly when you look not just at the individual companies but their entire industries as a whole, treason can no longer be narrowly defined as betraying your country to another country. Rather, we have to realize that betrayal is betrayal no matter who they sell out to, be it another nation, or a corporation, conglomerate, or lobbyist. Fact is, a back-stabber is a back-stabber no matter where they got the knife.

The War on Terror is a Myth
Disturbing... according to this data, the 'War on Terror' is a total farce, and is merely an extension of the 'War on Drugs'... not that any of us that were actually paying attention didnt already know that both fake wars actually constitute a 'War on the Poor'! Cause we are smart like that...
