The crux of my proposal can be gleaned from a couple of interesting tidbits.
Did you know that German 2012 retail sales unexpectedly declined in December as consumers' Christmas-shopping frenzy was damped by uncertainty about the economic outlook.
Adjusted for inflation and seasonal swings, declined 1.4 percent from November, when they fell 1 percent, the Federal Statistics Office in Wiesbaden said today. Economists forecast a gain of 0.8 percent, the median of 24 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey showed. Sales fell 0.9 percent from a year ago. The statistics office said retail sales were 0.9 percent higher in 2011 than in 2010.
U.S. retail sales the entire holiday season were below the solid gains made at the beginning of the festive season. Sales got off to a firm start during the Thanksgiving weekend, but then slowed down as holiday shoppers adopted a wait-and-see approach to buying. Still, US retailers, helped by a longer Thanksgiving-to-Christmas period lasting for 32 days against 30 in 2011, as well as low temperatures across most parts of the US and despite the residual impact of Superstorm Sandy in the Northeast, managed to record a satisfactory sales increase of some 3% from last year, when a stellar growth of over 5% was achieved.
Conclusion: Drop the Bomb..
In order to bring about meaningful change we'll have to use the methods of the wealthy puppet masters. The wealthy will only respect an attack on their money. Real Estate Investment Trusts build the malls, office buildings and warehouses. That debt must be serviced by companies who produce up to forty percent of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Do I need to tell you who owns the stock in those retailers and Investment Trusts?
Unlike you and I the rich don't hoard cash. They invest in debt instruments, real property and virtually everything that has intrinsic value.
The ultimate weapon is a boycott of Christmas. We only need a minuscule decline in retail performance to gain attention. I suggest a goal of .05 to 1% for 2013. The goal will increase by one percent each year until there is a positive reaction. I realize that this goal won't appeal to many of you activists. They're wrong.
It is realistic to believe and state that most Americans are content to let others take the risks while they share the benefits and avoid the risks. I'm appealing to everyone that doesn't want to sit-in, marc, have his/her name published or attend meetings. Those individuals can remain invisible because no one can spy on you or even monitor your participation in the Christmas Boycott.
Should you find any merit in my secret weapon, please free to pass this opinion piece on to everyone you know.
