The Shock Doctorine

This is a section of the hour long documentary I watched on The Shock Doctorine. This part shows the relevant bit in relation to my EMP, though a lot of the film was not too much to do with my EMP it was incredibly interesting, though insanely confusing at the same time. It left me hating the world and made me realise how much is wrong everywhere you look.

I learnt a lot about the capturing and torturing of civilians that occurred in Chile in the 1970's, something that naively I had never heard about before. And I learnt a fair bit more on the war in Iraq. Basically what I got from the documentary was that most economic problems/wars/ etc that occur in the world have been 'planned' out to shock the public/country. This shock then promotes mass panic and something else...that I didn't seem to understand.

One quote that stuck with me after watching this was "ideas have consequences" (said by Milton Freeman...I think)



Definitely one of THE top programs/films/documentaries I have ever watched.
