Add an EventSupport Independent Retailers Like Bookshop & Say No to Amazon Prime this 23-26 June 2026
Irucka Embry, of EcoC²S / Questioning the Universe Publishing (QUP), believes that we, as Human Beings, all over Planet Earth should support small businesses and independent retail outlets whenever possible.1 He knows that it is small businesses, including small farms, that provide most of the jobs and food for us on Planet Earth.
Therefore, for the remaining Amazon Prime days, 23-26 June 2026, & every day, if possible, Irucka requests that instead of supporting Amazon and other multinational high technology2 corporament3 organizations that instead you support independent outlets like Bookshop.org that “supports local, independent bookstores by providing them with an easy way to sell books online and gives shoppers an alternative to buying books on Amazon. Every time you buy a book on Bookshop.org, you financially support local independent bookstores.”
Irucka includes the following Purchase Books from Independent Retail Outlets Note in his various documents:
In January 2020, Bookshop.org replaced IndieBound as the online place to purchase books to support independent bookstores. Irucka currently has > 650 books listed on his EcoC²S / Questioning the Universe Publishing (QUP) Bookshop store. There are many books featured in this document that are present in his store. Please note that Irucka receives a small commission from the purchase of books from his store.

military (defense/offense) + industrial + academic (schooling — at all levels — as prison) + “corporament” entertainment (Hollywood, media, advertising/consumerism/commercialization, propaganda/psychological warfare) + judicial (defense and prosecutorial lawyers, judges, law enforcement/police, prisons) + financial (banks, accounting firms) + religion + petrochemical/pharmaceutical (drugs, antibiotics, antibacterials, vaccines, pesticides — toxins to kill or put you at “dis-ease” and drugs to “treat” you) + imperial commu-soci-capitofasdemorepubcracism system/society/economy/Western thinking = Military-industrial-academic-“corporament” entertainment-judicial-financial-religion-petrochemical/pharmaceutical complex.
Commu-soci-capitofasdemorepubcracism is derived from communism, socialism, capitalism, fascism, democracy, and republic as these concepts all have the same root. The complex was originally defined in the aforementioned article [https://utdailybeacon.com/133311/opinion/our-government-can-not-be-trusted/ | “Our government can not be trusted” By Irucka Ajani Embry, Monday, 26 August 2002, The Daily Beacon. Also, the article can be found by searching at https://www.questionuniverse.com/oldway/columns.html.], but it has been recently revised to reflect a new understanding of the complex’s nature.
