Naomi Klein Issues Haiti Disaster Capitalism Alert: Stop Them Before They Shock Again

Journalist and author Naomi Klein spoke in New York last night and addressed the crisis in Haiti: We have to be absolutely clear that this tragedy—which is part natural, part unnatural—must, under no circumstances, be used to, one, further indebt Haiti and, two, to push through unpopular corporatist policies in the interest of our corporations. This is not conspiracy theory. They have done it again and again.

As Klein noted, it took The Heritage Foundation 13 days to come out with their "free market solutions" for the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. They didn't even wait 24 hours after this disaster in Haiti.
