Shock doctrine opens way for oil drilling

Naomi Klein: "Corporations are built to be opportunistic. That's their mission. If there's an opportunity, they must take advantage of it, and it's in the interests of their shareholders, and they shouldn't be sentimental about it. So that's what capitalism is supposed to do: take advantage of opportunities. What I'm talking about, and what I mean by disaster capitalism, is a political strategy."

are you retarded? what has brought America to it's knees? Bush and the illegal wars in Afganistan and Iraq. The economy is on the brink of disaster, and the national debt is completely out of control. Why do you seek to protect those that have totally screwed you? Have you read Naomi? Does she say anything unreasonable here? Open your mind and listen to other points of view. You might just learn something.

We need to keep corporate entities out of office in the US. Most, not all, but most decisions made on capital hill are in special interest to those who are making money from it. Corporations will pay politicians to push legislation through that has nothing to do with the benefit of the people, or the environment, etc... Just for big profits for the rich. And that's all politics is about in my country. It's like the f-in mafia. Bunch of gangsters in office and on wallstreet!

Ironic: Canadians won't vote for someone unless they openly support nationalized health care. Here in the US, Obama might lose his election partially because of people's false perception that he supports nationalized health care, or even passed a "government take over of health care." Neither such thing really happened, just in case that wasn't clear enough.

Biased! Name their right wing conservative counterparts, I dare you. So basically what you're saying is, if I go to any airport in America, a multitude of Hollywood's guilty will spill out of every terminal signing autographs. What a fantasy.
