Peter - thanks for posting the Naomi Klein exchange with Amy Goodman. Klein makes several important points, and I do think it's entirely possible we're being set up for some excruciating shock therapy in the "First World" so the elites can achieve fundamental changes that would otherwise be out of Their reach.
MSM has been as disgracefully supine as it was during the run-up to Gulf War 2. BBC business coverage has consisted of "breaking news" extravaganzas, theatrically delivered by Robert Peston, which in truth have consisted of blatant market manipulation by the government and bankers (Central & otherwise). Whilst the anchors are generally so clueless about the underlying economic reality, they just mouth the nonsensical scripts written for them about how "Congress must save Main Street USA".
I note the precise details of the Bush/Paulson $700 billion thieving won't be clear until after the US Presidential election. No wonder Dubya and Skeletor Paulson looked like the cats that got the cream yesterday... :mad:
