Islam's War On Starbucks
From Vlad Tepes Blog:
I was just speaking with a manager at a Canadian Starbucks location who told me two interesting things. Firstly that they received a memo from head office which told them that a rumour was circulating that Starbucks directly financed the Israeli Defense forces. This of course is an obscene lie. No private company directly funds a national army its just preposterous. While many large corporations such as tobacco companies are rumored to emply mercenaries and private groups for deployment of force where necessary none directly finance a nations army and if they did, I would imagine it would be the one defending their assets rather than the one creating the tension for them.
Secondly that private individuals are actually phoning up this Starbucks location, not the head office so I can’t imagine how many calls they may be getting but this inconsequential backwater Starbucks location and asking if this rumor is true.
I think we can expect to see a lot more mis and disinformation campaigns against any target Islamacists decide on.

- Petition Against Starbucks Selling The New York Times
Starbucks sells the New York Times in its almost 8000 locations across the United States. If they sell 15 copies per location (a lowball estimate) then that would mean they are responsible for over 100,000 copies sold per day. This has got to stop. I...
