The Shocking Truth About the Shock Doctrine

She misses the 9/11 boat, which isn't that surprising.

What is is the powerhouse review by the blogger.

An excerpt (my emphasis)
:

SHOCK DOCTRINE'S SHOCKING SHORT SHRIFT

"With respect to a book like Shock Doctrine which plumbs the depths of malignancy that the United States has inflicted upon the world and on its own citizens, the inability of its author to allow herself to know the whole truth about 9/11 and speak it, is astounding. Not only does it reveal the intellectual constraints which the progressive movement has foisted upon itself, but it facilitates a tenacious clinging to endless layers of denial. Even worse, in so doing the liberal left perpetuates not only everyone else's denial but the false hopes and pseudo-solutions of the American political chimera, the corruption of which is consummate and which serves no other purposes than choreographing a caricature of democracy and ensuring massive social control."
