They remain independent of each other yet in working as a group they now control most world markets &amp; even governments, they have no true concern for our planets environmental health, or its people.  They owe to no one but there own greed &amp; are now setting the worlds standards with unethical pricing policies &amp; marketing strategies that purvey an insatiable lust for the world’s currencies. They cannot be allowed to go on unchecked &amp; it is only We the world’s consumers who have the power to bring down &amp; break up this circle of thieves &amp; their corporate confederacy.  But it can only be done in unity, not as nations, but as people for people in sincere concern for our families &amp; our fellow man. This is not a problem that only we as Americans are being forced to deal with, but one that concerns, and is affecting all societies &amp; nations, it is a critical time in the world &amp; something has to be done now if we are to continue the way of life we have come to enjoy &amp; hopefully, help to better the lives of others.  This may not be the ultimate answer? But for now it is all we’ve got &amp; with strong support from you the consumer it has the potential to considerably lower the cost of petroleum fuels, initiate a more aggressive search for alternative fuels &amp; last but far from least, restore respect for you the people of the world.  Respect is still &amp; has always been a powerful tool in any interaction or exchange between people or powers; it promotes truth &amp; honor &amp; instills integrity. When mutual respect is granted in business matters, honesty &amp; fair play are part of the deal. Where there is no respect, havoc wreaks &amp; dishonesty abounds, it is something that should be exchanged freely, but in most cases it is earned &amp; in some where it will not be granted, it can only be forced, when that is the case, it is usually not long forgotten.&lt;br/&gt;If force is the only way we can regain respect from these companies, then let it be so. Participate &amp; promote this boycott &amp; show them the power of the consumer &amp; let it be a lesson they will not soon forget.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16626627-112736185205267160?l=oilboycott.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oilboycott.blogspot.com/feeds/112736185205267160/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16626627&amp;postID=112736185205267160' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16626627/posts/default/112736185205267160'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16626627/posts/default/112736185205267160'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oilboycott.blogspot.com/2005/09/respect.html' title='Respect'/><author><name>Rogue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11154058913554240070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16626627.post-112736154049235019</id><published>2005-09-21T22:59:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-09-21T22:59:00.493-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Single Company</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt; Single Company Boycott Advantages &amp; Strategies&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;First off,  One day boycotts do basically nothing to affect prices, supply &amp; demand or competition, as what was not bought on that day is made up in days before &amp; after, however if it is supported well, it does send a message to the oil companies that they should worry, because there is Unity. &lt;br/&gt;With support &amp; participation any extended boycott (single or multiple company) of a week or more can deliver positive results within the first week, (how deeply their greed is rooted is evidenced by how long it takes for them to start lowering prices) but the longer the boycott the better the result &amp; relatively the better the support the shorter the time it will take for them to respond, participation &amp; getting the word out is the key. &lt;br/&gt;  We have decided this should be a single company boycott for several reasons &lt;br/&gt;1. It is easier for the participants, as they just don’t buy the targeted companies gas or oil from the stations it supplies; buy all the gas you want from the others. &lt;br/&gt;2. when you boycott 2 or more companies it takes longer for the effects of the boycott to work, and if it drags on for any length of time people lose interest &amp; quit participating, there is also the fact that some people may have to go out of their way to buy gas elsewhere.. &lt;br/&gt;3. As boycotts do hurt the boycotted companies station owners, who if run an honest business &amp; do not gouge, are actually as much the victim as we the consumer. Taking this into consideration, by only boycotting one company instead of 2 or 3 we have drastically cut the number of people being adversely affected   (these are honest station owners &amp; others who have no control over prices but are in the business).  We are also stressing that if a neighborhood station of the company being boycotted is known to be honestly operated (doesn’t gouge prices at every opportunity) then by all means stop in, buy his goodies, soda, cigs &amp; shelf items (Do Not Park At The Pumps &amp; Do Not Buy Their Fuel) if they're labor rates are reasonable &amp; they do good work, give it to him or refer a friend.  They will appreciate it &amp; they know the situation as well as anybody, although if you ask me the station owner himself should honor the boycott &amp; shut his pumps down, this shows good faith &amp; that he is an honest &amp; responsible American with sincere concern over the situation, he would probably be surprised at the number of people who stop in &amp; use his other services just because of that.&lt;br/&gt;4. There is also a strategy in a single company boycott that is missing with 2 or 3 company boycotts. In multiple company boycotts it tends to draw those companies closer together &amp; support each other, where in a single company boycott the company boycotted is left to fend for itself &amp; the other companies will do little to support it aside from buying its unsold surpluses at discounted prices, at that point the other companies now have surpluses they bought cheap from the boycotted company &amp; may lower prices a little but not enough to end the boycott, meanwhile the boycotted companies stock is dropping &amp; the other companies start thinking buyout. And this is where the fun begins, the boycotted company now ends its collaboration with the others, and on its own, lowers its prices considerably to end the boycott &amp; bring people back to its pumps, and it is effective as people rush to their pumps, thus leaving the others with surpluses &amp; losses in sales, leaving them no choice but to follow suit.  We the consumer are in our greatest hr,  the boycott has been effective in that it did lower prices, but more importantly it has restored respect to us the consumer &amp; returned competition back to the marketplace. It has instilled distrust between the companies, effectively ending their conspiratorial &amp; unethical union.  The scenario I have just depicted is only one of several possible outcomes, all of which favor us the consumer, but to be successful in any of them will require strong support in as simple a thing as not buying gas from one retailer for an unspecified period of time. &lt;br/&gt;Even if you don’t believe this boycott will work, isn’t it worth the try?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16626627-112736154049235019?l=oilboycott.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oilboycott.blogspot.com/feeds/112736154049235019/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16626627&amp;postID=112736154049235019' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16626627/posts/default/112736154049235019'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16626627/posts/default/112736154049235019'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oilboycott.blogspot.com/2005/09/single-company.html' title='Single Company'/><author><name>Rogue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11154058913554240070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16626627.post-112736138429476589</id><published>2005-09-21T22:56:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-09-21T22:56:24.303-05:00</updated><title type='text'>UNITY</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;UNITY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Unity, this single little word strikes fear into the hearts of big business &amp; big government, for in a people united in belief &amp; conviction there is so great a power, that business &amp; government alike consider it their biggest threat &amp; will go to great lengths to shake the belief &amp; weaken the conviction, for without belief in each other, their is only distrust &amp; when conviction is lost, there is left only confusion &amp; with distrust &amp; confusion there can be no unity.

It is they who will set future formulas for high profits for their stockholders &amp; low or no standards in dealing with the worlds consumers. They care not for the suffering of the people of the world or the indignities they impose, which is normal when greed is the motivating factor. As the midddle east is now only suppplying 35 to 40% of the worlds petroleum, they no longer set the price per barrel &amp;amp; it is in fact the oil companies themselves who set they're own prices &amp; fluctuate it as they see fit. Their power has become so great no single Government can do anything about it. They have over the years increased they're profit margins from what was the standard 1 to 1, to in some parts of the world as much as 6 or 7 to 1 In the US gal for gal increases they make for themselves that increase their cost by 1% is tranfersed to the consumer at approx. 4.5% compound that a few times &amp;amp; they're increases are only 7% but ours has gone up over 30% In this they are happy to see increases in the per barrel price because it in fact increases their profits considerably each time it happens. They are out of anyone but the consumers control, but only as a unified body can we regain they're respect &amp; in that respect be dealt with fairly &amp;amp; honestly by them.

Even with as little as 35 to 40% participation in the boycott, the loss in revenue for one month will severely limit their buying power &amp;amp; the fact that a worldwide boycott is in effect will cause their stock to fall bringing about they're collapse. It is only then, that not just the oil companies but big business in all markets will realize the power of you the consumer &amp; true respect will be garnered. The goal is to bring prices down to approximately what they were a year ago at this time, we feel this fair as they're price per barrel has changed little since then &amp;amp; our cost per gallon has increased 1/3 or more since then. The longer they hold out &amp;amp; don't bring the prices down will show just how deeply rooted their greed is. This plan can work, how well is up to you the consumer, it needs your support, please forward this email to everyone you know, I am sure that when it starts hitting the desks of these oil companies they will laugh, but it wont be for long.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16626627-112648502864816566?l=oilboycott.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oilboycott.blogspot.com/feeds/112648502864816566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16626627&amp;postID=112648502864816566' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16626627/posts/default/112648502864816566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16626627/posts/default/112648502864816566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oilboycott.blogspot.com/2005/09/oil-boycott-plan.html' title='Oil Boycott Plan'/><author><name>Rogue</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11154058913554240070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
