The aim of Knowmore.org is to raise awareness of corporate abuse, and to serve as a catalyst for direct action against corporate power.

Ethical Consumerism is an important movement toward corporate reform, through which individuals recognize their own role in systems of oppression, and take personal steps toward resistance and  positive change.

However, the problem of unchecked corporate power is systemic and goes far beyond the scope of any single boycot or campaign.

• NCI Profile"Documents from several U.S. embassies claim that Li helped the People’s Liberation Army finance communication networks, accepted $400 million from the Chinese government for Hutchison Whampoa, and entered a real estate deal with Chinese president Jiang Zemin. U.S. Commerce Department documents show that Li owns 25 percent of a firm run by the Chinese air force and one-third of Asiasat, which is owned in part by the PLA. Li was a founding board member of the China International Trust and Investment Corporation (CITIC), which the RAND Corporation claims is the bank of the PLA. A U.S. Army intelligence update says that Ka-Shing is “willing to use his business influence to further the aims of the Chinese Government.” Another U.S. military intelligence report called the company a risk for smuggling arms into the U.S."
