9/11 shock and awe planned in Israel. Both McCain and Obama went to Israel to kiss the emperor's ring (Sharone is not in a coma). $850 billion just stolen from the American taxpayer and things are only getting worse.

Social Engineering/capitalism/dehumanized cultures/be aware and stop it in your mindful meditations! REPEAT AFTER ME: SUSTAINABILITY IS IT'S OWN CHECK & BALANCE SYSTEM! Capitalism breeds Corruption. Any questions?

I enjoyed the analysis. (However, I would caution against one taking the concept of regression literally) The presentation was in the tradition of Chomsky - it provided a necessary historical context that is absent from the mainstream newstainment provided by Fox and the miopic punditry of bigmouth Bill O'Reilly.

I would tweak the point a little by saying that most, or at least enough, people are already childish and that trying times when they feel insecure don't make adults regress so much as cause already childish adults to clamor for security and to listen to one dimensional rhetoric from politicians. Mass compulsory schooling began creating these childish adults. John Taylor Gatto's history of school and Klein's history of disaster capitalism need to inform each other...

shut up, your narrow specialists analysis is nothing but the non proportional narrow uniformed analysis if a specialist. learn to think with the prefix "inter" infront of each and everyone of your cute little ideas.

Klein rhetoric is a bait and switch away from Mearsheimer & Walt's thesis of the Israel Lobby influence on foreign policy. In the final analysis Klein is offering a deceitful diversion in order to distract people away from analysis the role of Zionism upon U.S society. She is just another "Israeli firster"

Thank you Ms. Kline! You are certainly a modern day gadfly.
