You know but I am finally understanding why bureaucrats promise goods and services to gullible constituents, it’s because when you give those things to people, it dumbs them down. The people don’t actually have to think ahead when the government is giving them plentiful handouts. When people don’t have to plan for their future, they become some mixture of docile, stupid and malleable.

It all makes sense now.

@kmg501 You are right again.
Sadly, many people would prefer to watch someone chasing a funny looking little pumpkin around a glorified cow paddock, rather than helping to fix the serious problems we all currently face.

@survivalstuffonline I completely understand what you are saying.Personally,I haven’t drank soda for years.I’d have to look it up.,but doesn’t Coke make other products as well? Like bottled water? I need to look that up…..

I would boycott coca cola. Does that mean other coca cola companies like Odwalla? I do not have a problem with by passing all subsidiaries.
Spirits incarnate, …
Spirits incarnate, living as humans in our midst; moving openly and freely, yet undetected by the masses, or even their hosts. Like the spasms of a decapitated body, the fact of the matter, thats precisely what it is; if you really think about it. Their illusions are many, which overtake the sleepwalking masses. Now know that they do take flesh and walk among men, to mold a new species.

It’s sad really. People seem to be more aware since 2008 but yet still far from aware enough. It really isn’t hyperbole when I say that the Federal Reserve is the single biggest threat to peace & prosperity on Earth. And what is even more ironic is that we don’t even need a crazy scheme to bring it down. We just have to unrelentingly pressure bureaucrats to do it. And if they fail, we keep voting them out till they do do it.

I heard that the top10% control 90% of the worlds wealth. I thought “How could that possibly be true?” Then I discovered that most so called ‘countries’ are in fact for profit corporations.

@zalida100 Thanks …
@zalida100 Thanks for the reply. If Coca-Cola failed wouldn’t it just increase the strength of Pepsi., and turn what is effectively a duopoly into a monopoly? I don’t think it would negatively affect the Bilderberg group et. al. The rich investors would simply jump ship to Pepsi, and the hedge fund. The only people that would get hurt would be the small investors, and employees. I am all for taking action if that action: 1. Has the ‘moral right’. 2. Has a clearly defined and articulated benefit.

Coca-Cola uses Phosphoric acid in their formula; It gives the drink a pH of 2. Coca-Cola is so acidic they have to line the interior of the can with plastic to keep the liquid from eating the metal.

@zalida100 No shit! You’ve seen satellite images of earth, no doubt. Notice anything? What I notice is there ain’t no squiggly lines drawn on it. Much as I admire America’s founders, I must consider that the time for sovereign states has passed. It’s now time for sovereign individuals. Those who need leaders will likely perish.

It’s interesting that people hate on private companies but ignore the biggest, baddest and most powerful private entity on the planet.

@umhalil Yes some, but who is going to give a rats about coke? People aren’t even boycotting BP and look what they did! The mass population are asleep and that’s the problem. These people care more about their Iphone and their materialistic empty lives rather than fighting for some great cause for change that benefits us. I don’t drink coke, so I guess I’m already on board on this one.

I had the same addiction when I was a kid, but I kicked it. I can’t even have the taste in my mouth now because it has such a strong chemical flavor.
I don’t let my kid drink “pop” but I do buy her good root beer now and then (natural ingredients and with cane sugar instead of HFCS)
Hard to find, but it’s nice to have a real pop (and Root Beer floats in summer are great!)

From my own experience and observation that Coca Cola very addictive. I can remember as a child absolutely “Jonesing” for a Coke. I’ve since observed many children panicking when they were denied a Coke and grabbing a Coke with both hands when they found or were given one & taking a drink like someone dying of thirst and emitting an “Ahh” after the first chug.
Coke really is bad stuff, a highly profitable addictive drug full of harmful substances and is a great target for a boycott.

coca cola is the main sponsor of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada,so one day I went to the university shoppers drug mart for something to drink and all but one product was not refrigerated it was not a coke product.I asked why this drink was not refrigerated she said that coke had not bought that company yet,

I used to be a big coke drinker but have been off with our system for a couple of years. And it was at least 3 years ago when i seen Max Keiser speaking talking about boycotting coke and ive avoided it since. Theres local drinks that i can buy from my snall country and thats what i stick with.
I see theres an interview i watch just when it was out by legjoints in the releated video. Click on it and Max will give you great reasons why to boycott coke!
Why would people …
Why would people want to stop drinking fizzy water thats not very good for them and is way over priced. Well this man Max Keiser seem to have a good reason for doing it but remember coca cola have many brands so you might want to find out what products they are selling.
