Corporate capital wants to own all of this public infrastructure in a for profit venture that will further impoverish us. As Naomi points out these disaters are opportunities for the Corporate Oligarchy to take more control of our lives reducing freedoms.</p> The next disaster capitalism will be the privatization of the public water wastewater infrastructure which is in need of $2 trillion in replacement investment.

Last night I read the Intro which is sort of an executive summary.<br /> What impresses me most is that Ms. Klien gets her mind around the big picture and then lays it out in a clear text picture. A neocon roadmap of how they operate, their goals and philosophy. It is a difficult conundrum to explain and her explanation is about as artful as can be made.<br /> I think Impeachment is what they fear most. It tars their label which forces them back underground.</p> Actually I have been awarte of all the issues a very long time. Last night I read the Intro which is sort of an executive summary.

My heart is breaking for Katrina victims. I ranted about the FEMA F up last night. I just cannot believe the callous heartlessness of all this.
