Noami Klein on the Privatization of War

Acclaimed author and journalist Naomi Klein spoke about the 'privatization of the state' at a recent talk in New York City. Klein is a widely read columnist for the Nation magazine and the London Guardian and author of the international bestseller, "No Logo." Her forthcoming book is titled "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism."

She visited Iraq in 2004 and published an article later that year for Harper's Magazine titled "Baghdad Year Zero" in which she detailed the privatization of Iraq's state-dominated economy. She has continued to cover the issue and her forthcoming book on disaster capitalism is due to be published in the fall.

I haven't heard her mention Tavistock in her speeches. In the books of hers that I've read, I don't recall a reference to Tavistock, or an explanation that Tavistock was the real genesis of the modern shock doctrine (using British soldiers in WWI).

This woman speaks the truth, the things being done in Iraq are to be our own downfall. She should be required reading for the so-called education system.
