The Shock Doctrine... complete documentary.

[Ichingcarpenter]

For those that haven't read the book or seen the documentary to understand what is really going on.




Naomi Klein gives a lecture tracing the confluence of ideas about modifying behavior using shock therapy and other sensory deprivation and modifying national economics using the "shock treatment" of Milton Friedman and the Chicago School. She moves chronologically: Pinochet's Chile, Argentina and its junta, Yeltsin's Russia, Bush and Bremer's Iraq. A trumped-up villain provides distraction or rationalization: Marxism, the Falklands, nuclear weapons, terrorists; and, always, there is a great shift of money and power from the many to the few. News footage, a narrator, and talking heads back up Klein's analysis. She concludes on a note of hope.

2. Thanks, will watch that later.

I read the "Shock Doctrine" and keep it on my desk for reference and reminder. It's one of those books that change your view of the world, probably one of the best books I've read.

6. Ms. Klein presents a very clear and unblinking view of the Shock Doctrine

Naomi is a prolific author, of course, but this is probably her best known publication. Thanks for posting and I hope no one forgets what they see here, as we need to stay vigilant to prevent further cases as were noted.
