These are just some of the hundreds of retail companies who were targeted, cellar-boxed, and bankrupted over the last 20 years. Not all of the stories are the same, but they were all targeted to make way for Amazon, Walmart, Target, and in general, eCommerce.
Remember the early days of eCommerce? People didn't want to buy books online, and were even less interested in online clothing purchases. What if it was the wrong size? What if it didn't arrive in time? How do I know it's a real company?
Why would anyone order (3) pairs of shoes online, if you can drive down the street and buy (1) pair in the right size? Just makes sense.
These are just some of the conversations you might remember, and largely the reason why retailers were targeted. Humans like routines and dislike change, so if eCommerce would ever be adopted en masse, it would need some help. Existing retailers would need to be consolidated or destroyed, eliminiating options until only a few remained.
That is essentially where we are today.
This is what my pinnned supply chain data proved, and what GameStop has put an end to.
We were told that the pandemic is the reason for lingering inflation, but in reality, it's because we lost control of our ports and cannot control the goods flowing into our country.
If the pandemic weren't planned, how were so many countries ready-to-go with newly established manufacturing hubs and distribution centers? These were in place prior to 2020, just look at the data.
Amazon was weaponized against consumers, too. By changing their import method and establishing a "private network", they were able to accelerate the bankrupting of the US, by avoiding import duties/taxes. Each time you order from there, you help this happen.
There's a lot more to share, but I'm trying to keep this simple and short. Attached are three images:
- Initial analysis of parcel marketshare, showing Amazon established an effective monopoly in 2023
- Private messages confirming that Meta/FB & Amazon were launching secret "private delivery networks" in Q1 2023
- My first submisson to the Whistleblower line, on May 9th, 2024
