A friend sent me this. Wow! This is serious. Don’t laugh. My 1 1/2 year old son, Owen, began to whimper when he saw this.

The Shock Doctrine
Canadian journalist Naomi Klein is known for her bestselling book No Logo. I had the opportunity to hear her speak a few years back at the University of Minnesota. She spoke on the attempt of transnational-corporate hawks to seize control of the Iraqi market directly following the US invasion. In this presentation she argued that the corporations largely failed in securing Iraqi markets because the area was so plagued with violence. Naomi Klein is a powerful voice in North American journalism, a critic of US involvement in Latin America, and especially the forced economic reforms in countries such as Argentina. Along with her new book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism she has directed a short film. It is well done, but be warned, it is quite disturbing.
