Our Brand Is Crisis
Advertisements [?]
If you want to understand what happened in the debate on Thursday, you need to do two things.

First watch the film, Our Brand Is Crisis about James Carville's management of a political campaign in Bolivia on behalf of a candidate who favored imposing a "free trade" privatization, pro-corporate agenda on Bolivia. Here is a link to a DU post that shows the trailer in that movie.

Then, second, read the book The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein in which she discusses the economic and social policies of the guy that Carville was working for in Bolivia. As with Clinton, that guy was a psuedoliberal pro-corporate candidate.

So -- first the film -- Our Brand Is Crisis -- and then the book -- The Shock Doctrine.

You will see the pattern. CNN is the Hillary/Carville/psuedoliberal cable network. They want to impose more "free trade" and more privatization on us. That's the game plan. I dare you to watch that film and then read the book. And, Randi Rhodes, in case you follow DU, I especially recommend that you watch that film (again) and read the book (at least the chapter on Bolivia again). Then ask yourself honestly whether you still think a Hillary presidency would be good for America.
