Wake Me Up When The Shock Doctrine Ends

Wow, been a busy few weeks, and I guess I haven't had a chance to do a meaty post here since the month began. I guess I'll lead with some Septemeber tuneage to celebrate the reopening of the blather, (even though technically we are now closer to the historic month of ROCKTOBER!

Shock Doctrine in full effect in Florida...

If you aren't familiar with the shock doctrine concept... It's a new book by Naomi Klein that explores the vicious capitalist ploys that use the pretext of "emergency" to take away rights and subjugate populations.

I'm personally looking forward to possibly catching an appearance by Naomi Klein later this month, when she's in town promoting her new book "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism". You can read an excerpt at Alternet, and here's a short film by Alfonso & Jonas Cuarón to illustrate the hypothesis presented.




Django Reinhardt - September Song

Dean Martin - September Song

The story about the war profiteers in Blackwater Security being banned from Iraq is no surprise after viewing this "shocking" video of Americans driving in Bagdhad. You can feel the love of the Iraqi people as our vehicles patrol the city...
