Valuable Consumer Information You Won't Hear Reported
October 13, 2013   -  Obama Calls on his Corporate Buddies    




This could seem to be an unusual alert, but the signs of a dangerous trend of subverting consumer funds has been building for some time. Now it's become overt ~ and those of US who care about our Bill of Rights and our country's future need to be aware of what's happening. As usual, you won't see or hear a thing about this in mainstream media, also corporate controlled.  

So please spread the word of what's happening with Starbucks - forward this email and post its information on your blogs, social sites and comment threads. Covert signs of collusion between the White House and major corporations have been ongoing since Obama took office. 

Now this influence-peddling and public control are being overt and flagrant. Was a time that the "left" claimed to stand against corporate control of America. That cover has been turned on its head as influences are systematically brought to bear to bring the public in-line with thinly veiled policies propagandizing for policies against the public influence. And, as usual, these social-influencing strategies really stand for: Do as We Say in place of traditional public values and freedom.

Review here what's been going on at America's largest chain of coffee-houses and the company that now controls the major American coffee market, sold through every grocery chain as well. Let's not let Starbucks continue to use its slick marketing image and massive ad dollars for public control, censorship and - now - overt political agendas. If this is ignored - and does not start to hit their corporate pocket book, We the People can expect the administration's corporate cronies to expand their propaganda and control of public opinion and behavior - at the expense of our future and our Bill of Rights.

As of this week, a dangerous trend at Starbucks, has gone from subtle and covert to arrogant and overt - on behalf of the administration's attempt to press for their way - or the highway - on public policies.  

 

READ HERE & SPREAD THE WORD OF ACCRUING ARROGANT STARBUCKS POLICIES that have been going unnoticed, unreported and unopposed: 
  

LAST YEAR:
Starbucks shareholders meeting made the news (online, of course, with no mainstream media coverage) when Schultz arrogantly told Christians they should take their money elsewhere if they don't like his company's strong stand for "gay rights." Turns out "gay rights" (aka gay marriage) is literally part of the company's platform!
EXAMINE THIS POLICY
1. Since when is it the business of a corporation to stand on a platform of a political agenda?!
2. Then, there's this: While Schultz was flagrantly insulting in that stockholder's meeting, how many actual Starbuck's customer know about that company platform? Is it posted on their site? NO. Is it posted in their stores either? Of course not. 
3. So the message is we'll gladly take your money and this is what we will use it for. But we'll generally be as covert as possible about this agenda.
After that snaffu, Starbucks made a very big public deal of their assistance in the Louisiana disaster - thus reinstating their image as a corporate "good guy."

STARBUCKS GOT AWAY WITH THAT, HELD PROFITS, SO HERE'S WHAT CAME NEXT:
This year Starbucks has decided that smoking is prohibited, not only in its stores, but on its patios - and taking it further NO SMOKING is allowed within 25 feet of any of its establishments. 
If you think, on the surface, that's a valid policy, think again:

SCRUTINIZE THE MOTIVE AND LEGALITY OF THIS PROHIBITION
1. What right does Starbucks have to control the conduct of people on public or other property that may adjoin or interface with its stores? (Probably NONE legally - but they're getting away with it anyway.)
2. Review the far-higher-profit, broadly advertised big-pharma high risk drugs to quit smoking. Those are higher-profit than tobacco ever was. So, is this a big-business move rather than for the public interest?
3. Consider, by contrast, the number of small businesses being systematically targeted and sued if they refuse services for gay weddings (cake bakers, photo studios, etc.) Another example of leftist distortions of rights - you're "right" if you agree with our use of political clout and force tactics and you're wrong (and will be sued or ostracized if you don't. Apparently, it's OK for Starbucks to make any policies it chooses but it's NOT alright for other businesses to chose who they serve. 
4. Most insidious is the way Starbucks is enforcing this policy. Staff intimidation of smokers - and its in-store Non Smoking signs intentionally imply this policy "may relate to public ordinances." THE REAL FACTS: WISCONSIN (for instance) has a carefully worded state law PROHIBITING any localities from modifying the legislation of NO INDOOR SMOKING ONLY. Yet, Starbucks in deciding to overrule this state law has staff telling customers it's sorry but the STATE or CITY to be a factor in its policy. This DOUBLETALK is NO coincidence. It's a way to artificially shift the blame for its own (right of refusal) policy. 

LAST MONTH STARBUCKS PILED ON MORE CORPORATE CONTROL OF ITS CUSTOMERS:
Most recently Starbucks decided to inform its nationwide customers that guns are not to be brought on their premises. No matter - again- if the state or local laws permit open carry. You exercise free choice to carry a gun? Too bad - STARBUCKS PRONOUNCES - leave it home or don't come here!

ONCE AGAIN, a low-level of public backlash (despite dominant polling against its new policy) gave Starbucks the feedback it can do, say, enforce whatever it wants - Bill of Rights, current laws and customer preferences be hanged!


WHY PUBLIC ACCEPTS AND CONFORMS TO STARBUCKS GESTAPO APPROACH:
That's simple. Early on, the company made pretense of its local-support image. Some stores were even remodeled (and much publicized) for their use of local materials and designers. The image presented was, look at how we care about your community. In the meantime, they were busy putting small, local owned coffee shops out of business - thus shrewdly eliminating the competition. 

RESULTS?  MOVE TO CONTROL PUBLIC OPINION AND SUPPORT OBAMA:
AS OF THIS WEEK, ALL their coffee houses now have special in-store  DISPLAYS of PETITIONS to force the GOP into a budget-deal compromise. 

Stop in to see this for yourself. Signs proudly state: ALL OUR STORES NATIONWIDE have THIS PETITION for our CUSTOMERS TO SIGN - and we, Starbucks, will see that all these Petitions reach Washington!

Starbucks, with NO resistance to its ever-expanding customer controls is now an overt arm of the Obama administration - using its nationwide positioning, "public image" and influence on low-information voters to organize, distribute and collect these petitions to SWAY PUBLIC OPINION for a 'bi-partisan' Budget "Compromise!" 

AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT BI-PARTISAN means these days: Shut up you dissenters and give the White House what it wants!

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! A few years ago, in 2008, most businesses banned public volunteers from even standing outside their doors with political petitions. Look how far we have sunk since then.This is a dangerous trend of bullying corporate rights over civil rights. What do you suppose would happen if you asked Starbucks to post a petition opposing ObamaCare and Federal over-spending?!

HELP EXPOSE STARBUCKS expanding agenda of POLICING THE PUBLIC & POLITICAL PROPAGANDA

When a private corporation uses the guise of its popular image for purposes of PUBLIC OPINION CONTROL AND POLITICAL CLOUT it's time to STOP putting our dollars in their pocket.

NEED ONE MORE EXAMPLE OF STARBUCK's LEFT WING COLLUSION - Here's a Shocker!
As of this week, the Arizona Republic, described by some as a "left-wing" rag, has notified its reporters they will no longer have offices or desks. Instead, they've been given portable computers and told their "new" work space is to hang out at STARBUCKS AND MCDONALDS! 

So, unless you agree with OVERT CORPORATE FUNDING of public control in place of personal rights - and the use of their profits TO FUND LEFT-WING CAUSES - find a different place to hang out - and a different brand of coffee to purchase.

This company has betrayed its public trust - on many levels - by deciding to be a proponent and enforcer of political causes.

When it reaches the point that a corporate chain makes itself an overt vehicle of  INFLUENCE & CONTROL on behalf of "politically correct" causes, people NEED TO be ALERT to where the money for their $4 cups of coffee is going!
