Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
Target achieved a 100% score on the Corporate Equality Index (CEI) in 2022, and was rated #4 by the Human Rights Campaign for being one of the wokest companies. This arbitrary social credit score goes against American values and people are protesting with their dollars. Target managed to lose $10 billion in ten days after the public became aware of their aggressive rainbow marketing campaign geared toward children. Will Target become the next Bud Light?
In my opinion, Target’s campaign was far worse than Bud Light’s because it was targeting the most vulnerable among us – the children. Not only did Target sell clothing for children and toddlers promoting the woke agenda, but they also attempted to normalize “binding” and “tuck-friendly” clothing for “transexual children.” Any parent forcing their toddler to bind or tuck their genitalia is likely not fit to be a parent.
The top designer for this abhorrent apparel was Erik Carnell, a woman turned man who mixes trans art with Satanic symbols. “Satan respects pronouns” is one of Carnell’s designs that did not make it to the big box retailer. He has pictures online wearing devil horns and outright mocking Christianity, the only religion that is acceptable to mock openly. He advocates violence against “normies” with slogans like “burn down the cis-tem” and an image of a guillotine labeled “homophobe headrest.” Erik was forced to take down his personal website after the Target controversy, but said he did so due to a growing demand for orders. His art is also colorful and cartoon-like to appeal to children. If a major retailer partnered with an artist who mocked Islam or Judaism, there would be a much larger backlash.
Target is attempting to employ major damage control, but it is too late. Bomb threats have been called into numerous stores by people within the LGBTQ+ community who are angry that the retailer is pulling attire for transexual children. “Target is full of cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to the homophobic right wing redneck bigots who protested and vandalized their store,” one of the threats read.
Target managed to lose 14% of its value within ten days because it attempted to pander to the woke crowd. Videos are going viral of moms cutting up their Target credit cards and a rap song about boycotting Target even reached a top spot on the iTunes charts. Someone needs to tell the top shareholders that the people do not approve of the woke CEI score, and the people will not allow the Human Rights Campaign to normalize rainbow marketing. This has absolutely nothing to do with gay rights and everything to do with grooming children. We read what the United Nations wants to promote. Target made a fatal mistake by going after our children.

When will some industrious lawyer line up some BUD & TGT shareholders & file a class action suit against the board for knowingly & willingly destroying share value?
You do wonder when the corporate executives are going to realize that A, they are nowhere near as smart as they think they are and B, people are sick of all of this left-wing / anti-God / anti-life / anti-tradition garbage being pushed on them every single day, everywhere they go. As a bonus, C, their zealotry to this garbage destroys their credibility as leaders because employees look at this and think, if they are this brainwashed and stupid, I shouldn’t be working for them. They look askance at all of their decisions.
Unfortunately, the board rooms are filled with liberal woke multi-millionaires who are following instructions to only hire woke MBA’s for management positions. If you have ever gotten an annual report from a major corporation, they list the directors along with their bio’s. Almost every one of them sits on 2 to 6 boards and is compensated in the high 6 figures for each board seat.
As Carlin said – It’s a big club and you ain’t in it, but actually, it is a small club and you’re still not in it.
“Bud Light, part Deux: The Gay Target 🎯”…(pronounced “tarrjay”)
It’s the bud light fiasco on steroids, in a retail version…
But ask yourself, ((who’s))) really demanding all these companies to do this fag dance, knowing it will accelerate the destruction of Western Civilization???
The same Khazarian Mafians….
Every.
Single.
Time….
Like the aptly-named Larry Fink.
Could be just a coincidence that they all belong to the same tribe.
While I agree, I doubt you could win, there are no guarantees with stocks. Yet it would be fun to watch, but so will the next stockholder meeting. I would bet some tempers flare.
I attended a shareholder meeting of International Paper once and was completely underwhelmed by how controlled everything was. A guy with 100 shares doesn’t stand a chance trying to battle the board who have millions of shares.
That is absolutely true.
But the saddest part is that BlackRock, Vanguard, and all the other clowns do not actually “own” the shares they control. These shares are owned by retirees, investors, other corporations, union members, etc. But BlackRock, Vanguard, and other clowns vote them “in proxy” for the real owners.
If the shares of AB InBev were voted according to the actual desires of the ultimate owners of the stock, there would never have been a Mulvaney, and if there were, the whole board and executive suite would have been flushed down the sewer.
Corporate governance is no different than investing on margin. You don’t have to buy the stock, you don’t have to own the stock, you just have to “control” it. You can do so with options, or just by proxy. If you can control a company by proxy votes, you don’t even have to own it. Just make bucks by “managing” it for the fools who give you money to buy their stocks.
It is all just another scam.
You don’t really think that any of the “losses” from the boycotts of target or bud light are coming out of Larry Fink’s pocket, do you?!?
Make a rule that stock shares must be allocated and voted by the person with property interest in that share, or the vote is null, and see how quick this woke crap, stake-holders, DIE, and ESG, etc. dies a smoking death.
We keep saying it, but you do not hear. Look to who owns and controls these corporations, i.e. Blackrock et all. This all comes from control of fiat, not ideologues. It is from the Jews and their hatred of both gentiles and God. Of course they have allies in that, but they are the shot callers.
Good, keep it up, America. Especially as we enter priDEMONth. Dial the pain up to 11.
Pride Month…oh yes, the month where freaks shove their perversions down our throats. Can’t wait. Unfortunately, I’ll be in the gayest state to take it all in.
Why do these freaks get the most beautiful parts of the country? They get the mountains, and east & west coasts.
Let’s see…if you’re straight & traditional & consider your intimate life sacred & nobody’s business…then you’re sentenced to live in the less than awe-inspiring spots. Why do we allow that???
Indeed, Abigail. Why?
I guess you’ll be seeing them on the trails.
I hate to admit it, but I was out fishing the Etowah the other day and some faggot literally came out of the fucking woods and tried to pick me up by the boat ramp. I was never happier to be carrying that 1911 than I was at that moment!
What the fuck is WRONG with these people?!?
Around here we would say you were visited by one of Robin Hood’s Merry Men. There have been two mass (over 100) arrests in the area over the years. One in Davenport, IA and one in Rockford, IL more recently. Apparently these guys get together and have mass gay orgies in forest preserves at like 5 AM. Usually somebody walking a dog or something see naked guys running around and calls the cops. It also appeared most or many were married guys with families. A guy a year ahead of me in grade school who was Mayor of a neighboring town was one. Because it always seems to be in the woods is why we call them Robin Hood’s Merry Men.
Nothing that wasn’t wrong with people throughout history. The difference is now the inmates actually run the asylum.
Which is the gayest state? I’m guessing Massachusetts.
Looks like South Dakota is the least gay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_demographics_of_the_United_States
That should be their tourist slogan: “South Dakota – The Least Gay. Also, super windy.”
…and loaded with gold waiting to be found. You just gotta fight the Indians for it.

DC ranks up there because they counted Lindsay Graham’s “Ladybugs” individually.
Do this again according to counties (like the Trump map) and it will be very educational.
Those of us who are normal, heterosexual humans and live in fly-over country are happy to eschew the coasts. We have a much lower cost of living, less traffic congestion, cleaner air and water, better schools (and MUCH higher literacy), lower taxes, and can easily visit the coastal bastions of lunacy (just claim temporary insanity) if we want to. Our fondest wish is for the mentally deranged deviants to stay where they are, and keep their twisted, satanic ideas to themselves. Forgot to mention, we are much better armed, ready and willing to use them, if necessary.
I am so glad that I got to visit the big coastal cities before they went over the edge. Last time I was in San Fransicko (business trip in ’15), it was getting pretty bad.
They have much of the money. They’ve played by “the rules” and have been rewarded for it. On the other hand, look at what’s happening to these locations, especially the left coast. They are imploding under the weight of their own folly. The beautiful areas are being destroyed.
Look up Dr. Day and (I think) the “New Barbarians.”
I never shop there. Limited selections and high prices. Now add that they are nuts.
They have been nuts for a long, long time. I hate them, but my wife loves to shop there because they are a lot cleaner and don’t have as many blacks as Wally World.
I just keep wondering how Target is suddenly losing money.
Years ago they promoted the fact that they let deviant grown men into restrooms with little girls.
All the people now boycotting were just fine with that and kept on shopping there.
Selling a product that no one wants is NOT as bad as facilitating actual, physical, real time child endangerment.
The American people are retarded.
The $10 Billion is market cap loss, not profit/loss.
Another store selling useless bullshit to useless zombie consumers . I would never shop there or Walmart, couldn’t even get me into the parking lot. Hordes of mouth breathers walking around filling the cart with junk. Fuck that. The pride shit sealed the deal. Maybe it’s a ruse to drive people online to shop .
I think you’re on to something.
Target tried to move into Canada and then went broke here in less than 2 years, so I don’t think their management teams are made up of the smartest people.
Two Targets within 10 miles of me have full parking lots. Nothing to see here, apparently. Fuck that shit.
The local Target appears to be slowing down, but we are on the buckle of the Bible Belt.
i am all for the war. target wants to target children – bring it on faggot cunts. i am ready to fight.
the trolls here
such weak , many gays
huh?
WTF IS IT WITH CALLING THE DESIGNER A HE. CALL IT WHAT IT IS, A WOMAN. REALLY PISSES ME OFF WHEN READING ARTICLES ABOUT THIS CRAZINESS THAT BUY INTO THE CRAZINESS.
“Corporate Equity Index”
Who runs THAT fucking shit show? A bunch of stupid fucking niggers? This SMELLS like BLM Redeux.
Maybe we ought to just hunt these fuckers down and put them out of business once and for all?
Society will thank us for it later.
A couple thoughts on this topic. 1, it seems the marketing graduates from the woke universities are trying to capitalize on the latest establishment trends.
That is, a push to sell more shit to lumpus Americans during June, now pushed as pride month.
Even rainbow garments for dogs & shit.
2, were finally starting to see pushback, boycotting, and rejection, by taking purchasing power and biz patronization elsewhere. Walking away from those who use in-your-face marketing with virtue signaling claims of taking the moral high ground ‘inclusion’ trend.
Yet, it is crossing a line, and more people, id est, those who have had enough, are starting to think more critically, and say No with their choices of where to spend, and who to patronize.
And, it cuts across racial and political lines a bit, too.
-No longer just white MAGA minds doing the rejecting.
Still, they’re the largest group pushing back, hence the bullseye being painted on their backs by an equally corrupt, controlled media.
Walk away. Ignore the marketing, the message, and just say No.
Moar, please.
Whether silently, or vocally expressing your decision.
Target investors should sue!
Target investors should sell
These consumer brands in the China-Landfill belt and road of the dying empire are all walking zombies kept alive by the momentum of ZIRP and the rest of the leveraged corporate vampire economy.
All this Globohomo CEI is the scrum of paying tribute to attempt to retain their position as the great reset – however you might define that, sets in motion a different set of books to account for who wins and who loses.
All of these shitbox stores are a mess. Inventory issues, labor issues, shrinkage and petty criminality feeding around the edges of everything.
Outside of the few manicured white suburbs left in Amerika, these places look like they are going out of business already. Before they started “winning” the race to the end of the globohomo rainbow.
The Lowes-Home Depot are next. I do a lot of small construction projects and the two stores in my radius are better than many – mostly because they can still manage to hire a few competent people but are in constant disarray and products are constantly out of stock, come in stock damaged, and are strewn about the stores which are generally a mess that not that long ago would have a manager fired for such dereliction but is now just the triage nature of retail.
The hustling vampires running crews of invaders flipping houses and building shitboxes in cowfields for retirees and urban flight are still making hay but that is gonna end as well – and $15.99 for a fukking gate hinge is gonna go too. So bring in the dancing queers.
My wife is a devout Bible scholar.I used to laugh at her belief in The End Times.I have stopped laughing,and i have apologized.
