[leftchick]

fuckin A! When is this madness going to end. There is an effort allover the world to boycott not just Israel but the US currency and trade as well. What great timing, eh?


I posted this earlier then did some more googling. This is extremely dangerous for all Americans. Except those in congress I suppose.....

PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad yesterday slammed the United States for being the main driving force behind Israel's atrocities against the Palestinians.

Calling for citizens of the globe, including the Muslim states, to boycott American products and the use of the US currency, Dr Mahathir said the power to cripple Washington lied solely in the people's hands and not their governments who were "scared stiff" of Uncle Sam.

"The US dollar has got nothing to back it... and the only reason that it is still being used is because people still accept the dollar as legal tender.

"If people stop using the US dollar, the US cannot make any money. It will then be very poor and it will have to stop its production of more and more weapons to kill people.

"That is how the US uses its money and people who use the dollar are actually contributing towards the manufacture, invention and production of weapons to kill."
He also called on countries to reduce their trade with the US.

Dr Mahathir said he would meet several non-governmental organisations and members of the government to push for a boycott of American products.
