1. Naomi is right on when she says the banks taking our money is a robbery in progress...

Public wealth being stolen and given to private bankers... We should have zero tolerance for this too....

9. And if only someone in elected office had the cajones to say the

Nine to thirty trillions of dollars needs to be paid back pronto.

Unfortunately most elected officials are working for Big Money. Ands not for the Middle Class that they are so quick to put on the chopping block for the sins of the Upper One Percent.

5. her book the Shock Doctrine is the most explanatory book I've ever read

6. I think she wrote that book around the time that Argentina

was being subjected to Global Capitalism and she spent time there looking at the economic devastation caused by these neo-liberal policies.

And now they are here. And the same thing is happening. DUer suffragette provided me with information on what happened to Argentina and I think everyone should study that country's collapse as it is very similar to what is happening in Europe and here now.

7. yep. our country is being dismantled.

Shock Doctrine was also the most frightening book I've ever read.
