1. Isn't this ironic? Viacom may well know that I've watched this youtube. |

Viacom doesn't have anything I like anymore anyway, except Colbert. Oh well. He needs to switch networks, then. (That would be a cool boycott wouldn't it, if no stars would appear for them?)
I think the ruling years ago, that we don't own our address and phone number was the beginning of the end. Then from that, the credit reporting agencies got started, and look how much trouble that's been.
But I've been on their harassment lists forever, since Nixon. The best defense is to make sure others know about it if you're being targetted - even if what's happening sounds nutty, as it usually does (intentionally).
I remember martial law as a teenager. It happens faster than you would believe. Tanks come right out from under the streets of D.C.
But with all that's on their side, the powers that be are afraid of free thinkers, and for a good reason. Thomas Paine, for one example. The fact of the internet's existence is a big problem for them. But they can't use it to "market" to us if they shut it down, can they? So they're stuck with it.

3. He had me till he mentioned the Illuminati INWO stuff |
|
I mean seriously! Look boycotting Viacom because they are fascist asshole is fine, but when you start throwing around terms like communist, when they are clearly fascists, just proves this is a sad little reich winger who gets a hard on listening to Art bell.
yes boycott Viacom if it's possible!
being over here in Europe it's pretty easier, but they own damn near half and the other half is owned by assholes just as evil! *coughmurdochcough*
So good luck with that whole INWO bullshit righty tighty!

5. I understand the tendency to roll ones eyes when the Illuminati are mentioned... |
|
...but these secret societies are real, and they possess obscene amounts of power and influence while not officially existing. I have always laughed at the tin-foil-hatters, until the last year or so. These evil secret societies are ruining our country, they've "had the reins" for decades, and all the elected officials are pretty much paid-off puppets. Most of the current American news media elites and all upper eschelon "elected" Repub officials are neck deep in Illuminati culture, I firmly believe. But, comtec, I agree, just the fact that Viacom is a fascist organization is enough of a reason to boycott. But don't knock the truth; the Illuminati, Skull and Bones, etc...they are REAL!

6. I run into that problem. |
|
I get around it by using other terms. We can get the same messages across about what's happening by saying "corporate-elite", "oligarchy", "international bankers", "military industrial complex" and etc. Those who like to go deeper into the depth and history of these groups and families may do so in there own circles of study, but while communicating with everyday people who are already tin-foil prejudiced to things that are hidden in the dark we can use more acceptable terms. The important thing is to get the education out that we the people are not in control of our government, and the elite hate true democracy. If the people were in control there would be a more equal distribution of the wealth and resources of our societies and our planet.

that he forgot to mention their largest network holding....CBS, I guess the OP doesn't want to give up his CSI.
Dreamorks is breaking from Viacom. Dreamworks is only distributed by Viacom (via Paramount) not owned by it.
As for Illuminati... a stretch, but Redstone is a Bilderberg grouper (as is Rupert Murdoch and Conrad Black and every US president since Eisenhower) which is very likely the real world version of the Illuminati (secret meetings amongst the richest and most powerful people in the world, whether they be world leaders or corporate heads).

9. But if Viacom is that rich and powerful, and it is not about money, |
|
then how is starving them of money via a boycott going to do any good? Not that I do not think it is worth a try. It is all about power and control, and I believe their use of propaganda has been in effect for quite some time as a tool of influence. But the internet has become an equal and alternative source of information which competes with this form of control, so they move on to surveillance as a tool of control. I am afraid that what comes after surveillance is more direct use of force and control. Boycotting these sources of information would work only on a massive scale, nearly everyone would have to unplug themselves from all mainstream electronic media for a time and/or use completely alternative forms of communication. Or perhaps only some people need to get off the grid, who knows, and work from there. They are playing hardball now, so to counter these influences will require some high tech network to hopefully work within the system, I am hoping that there are enough patriotic, human beings within the system that will not allow this agenda to progress. I think we need to appeal to people on the inside to please resist all the programming, the money or whatever they are bribed with, and see that this is a crime, and to think of the world their children have to live in.

11. Good to have reminders like this --- whoever did this had some gaps in understanding . . . |
|
but, overall, this is going on and corporations are running our lives ---
the underplay is Capitalism and Patriarchy and they are violent and corrupt ---
and SUICIDAL concepts ---
