Naomi Klein - The Shock Doctrine - Part 3 of 6

Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (http://policyalternatives.ca) presents:

Naomi Klein talks about her new book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. Speaking at a benefit event for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, a social justice research institute.
Naomi Klein explodes the myth that the global free market triumphed democratically. Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America's "free market" policies have come to dominate the world-- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries.

@tears4fears411 That those specific banks got PREFERENTIAL regulations proves my point. They asked for NEW regulation to grant them a loophole, that's not deregulation because everyone in the market didn't have access to it, that's preferential treatment and cronyism. Also, since the CRA was introduced $4.7 billion has been shuttled through, 4.5 of that in just the last 10 years, there's also the threat of lawsuit to consider with the CRA, Wells Fargo V. Baltimore is an excellent example.

As an economist, this woman doesn't seem to have a good grasp on economic and social realities.

What about reparations to all the Black Americans that had to endure slavery for over 400 years? If we are going to give reparations to the Iraqis, who the U.S. didn't enslave and systematically oppress for centuries, why not all the other people?

@centurion180ad theres a good book worth reading called "woe unto you lawyers" by Fred rodell, (get it on scrib)

documents the transferance of power from the priesthood to the law fanatics, as EVERY business venture not as far back as the supposed roman empire had to be sanctioned by a priest, now days anytrhing with large amounts of money attached to it u have to have a lawyer. very good book my friend, as is Propaganda by edward bernays (freuds nephew) same website

@djnero78 It is worse than that.

Attorneys are agents of a foreign power, British Accredited Register, the God damn mass murdering bankers. Greater than 70% off all elected officials at state & federal level are lawyers & attorneys, the treason of that aside it is a breach of Separation of Powers between legislative & judicial branches of government.

This is pure homicidal & insane despotism.

@centurion180ad yes mate but in control of a bank is a lawyer, yes the parasite vultures we know as lawyers go on to become judges and write laws that govern finances and banks, and us.

[djnero78]

@centurion180ad will be a bit difficult seeing as they own all the police and armies, past that we would end up chasing them to solid underground bunkers lol, peacefull un co-operation is the way, sure you may lose a few pounds or may even die in the protest, but then who is prepared to give up things like gucci shoes, money and maybe even their life for others

@centurion180ad

She wont, she probably still thinks that "free markets" are the real enemy.
