It seems like no one wants to talk about the disaster the last Republican President was.
Amazing.
9-11 / Trillions In New Debt / Economy Collapsing / Climate Change Inaction and the list goes on into infinity.....
I guess it is up to us to keep reminding folks what the Bush/DeLay/Hastert government was responsible for.
Carnage.
America barely survived, and that is how history needs to be talked about TODAY.

(11 posts)Hello Everybody
I'm reading a very interresting book .
The Shock Doctrine
Edit : Knopf Canada Toronto . 2007
You have there not the solutions,but the reasons of the actual political and economical situation .
It's frighthtened but it's absolutely logic.
The solutions of most of your questions :
The central point of the situation is coming from the ideas of the economic politic of "the Chicago Group" .
The basis of this theory is that the "state" must not survive and thart the economic is the real master of a world without any law without the law of the personal profit .
This theory is very clear : the richs will be more rich,and the poors,more poor (if not dead: hunger,disease...)
The first conséquence is that the "poors" are not "accord" with this theory .
The consequences of this first consequence is that you must use the theory of the Shock .
A big shock : an apocaliptic war, an apocaliptic economic crisis and the peoples will not be able to understebd the real situation or to resist against the situation : the most of their energy is used to survive .
The exemples of this politic are in the history books:
Chili of Pinochet
Argentine during the dicatorial period
Brasil during the dictatorial period,
Irak now ...
The principes are elementary:with a people who must live into terror,misery,hungry,you can do anything :
destruction of the basis of the sociéty : education,healthcare,..
And you can "live" with the desagregated elements of the old state : you can privatise what you want and you can do that at the price what you want ...
You see that even with the army .
The army himself became privated with company like "Black Water"and other .
Sorry for my english ...i'm learning ...

I'll admit I haven't read The Shock Doctrine. It is now on my short list. We need all the training we can get. America is not ready for what is coming and we need to be.
