A bite from Apple\u2019s tree is a sinful act for patriotic Americans<\/strong><\/p>

RWA<\/a>, in conjunction with American Conservative Values ETF (ACVF)<\/u><\/b>, has identified the ten worst companies for political conservates ( or patriots) to invest in.<\/p>

Investors can\u2019t completely avoid placing their funds into all woke companies, but they can avoid investing in the worst offenders.<\/p>

Announcing \u201cRubin\u2019s Bottom 10.\u201d<\/p>

Let\u2019s get to #8.<\/p>

What does the all-time classic rock band The Who have in common with the chicest tech company in the world, Apple Inc.? The answer is that legend has it they both started in garages. They also have something else in common which is that while The Who wrote the song Trick of the Light, Apple (NASDAQ: APPL) has played the trick masterfully by convincing virtually every millennial and below in age in the U.S. that their tech is the cool tech and that anybody who\u2019s anybody simply must have \u201ci\u201d everything.<\/p>

With over one-billion<\/a> users, Apple just might be the most brilliant marketing company in modern history, maybe of all time? What they also are is a company that is openly hostile to traditional American values and to the very free-market capitalist system that permitted Messrs. Jobs and Wozniak to launch their first computer back in 1976. They are a company that conservative Americans want to avoid when investing their hard-earned dollars.<\/p>

When upstart social media platform Parler was implicated (unjustly) as being partly responsible for the fake-news January 6th insurrection story, Apple, along with Google (investment \u201cblacklisted\u201d in prior column), removed the app<\/a> from its store within moments without any sort of objective investigation. That led to Amazon (to be investment \u201cblacklisted\u201d in a future column) removing Parler from its cloud servers, effectively chloroforming the free speech alternative to Twitter.<\/p>

Back in 2017, Apple\u2019s CEO Tim Cook announced that Apple would donate $1,000,000<\/a> to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The SPLC is well known to be a thinly veiled socialist hate group that makes its contribution to the public discourse by labeling any sort of pro-traditional American organization as a hate group. Given the SPLC\u2019s clear aversion to free speech and open exchange, and given their perception in the mainstream media as champions of civil liberties, maybe some of the marketing folks at Apple moonlight for SPLC? Somebody well-practiced in deception is certainly helping with their messaging.<\/p>

Apple has been one of the more aggressive companies when it comes to requiring<\/a> employees to not only get vaxxed, but then also boosted, in order to come to work. Their strict and invasive policy announced back in January came despite the Biden administration\u2019s vaccination requirements for large employers being dealt setbacks in the court. Apple\u2019s vaccine stance feels like something you\u2019d expect in totalitarian China, but not in a country that prides itself on individual freedom.<\/p>

Speaking of China, (because I needed a segue), there is no question that the biggest sin you are committing by taking a bite from Apple, Inc.\u2019s tree is that of supporting the most hostile nation on earth and the number one enemy of the United States and all of Western civilization.<\/p>

In December of 2021, an expose\u2019 piece was run at theInformation.com<\/a> that told the story of how Apple\u2019s success in the country that routinely imprisons, tortures, and organ-harvests from their Muslim Uighur minority group was paved through a quiet, but large, financial agreement made between the tech giant and the Chinese dictatorship.
