Hi and a big
As far as The Shock Doctrine, we have already lived through two applications of this is in the past fifteen years.
First was the Nine Eleven Event, which was of course used to "unify" the population into conformity. Wear that damn Chinese manufactured lapel pin of the damn flag or we will suspect you might be a terrorist!
While pressured on all sides, the American population hardly noticed as trillions of dollars that the Powers that Be had previously told us the government didn't have for schools or road repair suddenly went off to the armament manufacturers. While our jobless young people went over there to Iraq and Afghanistan to "serve" their country by kicking in doors of Iraqis, who then ended up in prisons. Those service people not kicking in doors got to ride up and down "the Highway of Death" in unarmored Hummers, as Rice, Rumsfeld and Bush couldn't figure out a real war strategy, other than kicking in doors and letting our service people get blown up by IED's.
Then came the Colossus Collapse of 2008 to 2011. And many in the Middle Class have not yet recovered from that. But since we were told relentlessly that the only way to "save the world economy" was to give up our middle class economy, the Powers that be got more trillions as wealth from Main St went over to Geithner's, Obama's and the Clintons' friends on Wall Street.
Klein'sShock Doctrine applies brilliantly to both those "Shocks."
