This little cat-and-mouse game starts the moment you wake up.

Your newsfeeds . . . your podcasts . . . you're about to click Buy Now on Amazon . . . but no. You opt out.

Wham! You just scored a touchdown.

*

On the way to work you pass McDonald's.

Your stomach growls. The Egg McMuffin looks good. But wait. It's a US corp. I'm not going in.

*

At work, you tell your friends you're boycotting everything MADE IN USA.

Some nod. Some grin. Others think you're dreaming.

"Crash the evil empire? Really?"

"Yeah. Damn right."

And somehow just saying that feels good.

*

After work you hit the supermarket.

You're all charged up. Every time you see MADE IN USA, you put it back on the shelf.

*

First a few thousand, then a million, then billions around the world start playing this cat and mouse game.

Then the headlines start rolling in:

Worldwide Boycott of America. GDP In Freefall.

Trump's Economy Collapsing.

Americans Are Waking Up.

This is how we fight the evil empire and win the planetary endgame.

Boycotters so far —

The Elephant in the Room of Democracy

The Elephant in the Room of Democracy

On November 1, 1964, just as he was gaining real traction, Reverend Martin Luther King received a vicious blackmail letter. The anonymous writer threatened to destroy him personally and professionally, and suggested he just take his own life and save somebody a bullet.

Most now believe the letter was written by deputy FBI director William Sullivan, on the orders of J. Edgar Hoover. But no one saw that letter, or even knew it existed. The government's secret campaign to kneecap the civil-rights movement by taking out its leader only came to light after The New York Times unearthed the letter in 2014. Want to know more? You can't. All materials surrounding the case have been ordered sealed until 2027.

One of the biggest flaws at the heart of American democracy isn't the lack of a third political party that will do things differently, it isn't the apathy that keeps folks from voting, or fear of arrest that keeps them from protesting.

Revolution is Coming.

Revolution is Coming.

What is the capitalist algorithm after all but a machine that runs on money?

And running the machine are the people who create, lend, charge interest and fees on that money. They skim it right off the top of banking transactions, the stock exchange, currency trading, money marts, and user fees.

The big question is, can we reprogram the algorithm?

Can we rewrite the rules?

Reverse money flows and reset the machine?

Can enough of us wake up to the fact that the capitalist algorithm is a doomsday machine and then go about creatively destroying it?
