This video should be purchased and watched along with "Confessions of an Economic Hit man,” both of which reveal the dark underbelly of U.S. diplomacy. It seems that the whole essence of America's being revolves around increasing the profit margin for our Industrial-Military Complex. On the surface, the mainstream media convinces the public that all we want to do is spread democracy and American "ideals." The truth is more about the domination and control of the world's resources.

I LOVE NAOMI KLEIN. Imagine what would happen if Michael Moore and she collaborated together on a project???? Corporations would tremble, I guarantee it. She is soooo awesome for being brave enough to tell the truth. I love her.

@romeoechomike369 very well stated. Most americans are totally unaware of what america is up to it is mindboggling.

@andres0e0elizalde tell that to the people who get screwed over day after day by price gouges at the gas pumps, at the doctor's office or pharmacy, and each month the bills come in...

Without the domination and control of the world's resources we'd be a third world country.

It is nothing short of a war on the poor and vulnerable perpetrated by the rich and greedy. It must be amongst the worst of evils, throughout all history, perpetrated by mankind.

We've all seen shock therapy being used on economies. In Britiain in the 1970s much of the Trade Union trouble was actually financially backed by people who were trying to destabalise the country. Simultaneously the newspapers became centralised into more right wing cartels/ monopolies.

At the moment where I live shock therapy is being used to threaten the services of the learning disabled, and force them into the private sector.

I've seen ECT work for people with certain disorders, mainly for those who have developed scizophrenic functioning. It doesn't work for wiping personality, or for people with depression. In fact, for people with depression it's prbably amongst the worst thing that can be used.
