ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!Leading off this week's bobblehead shows is FIRST LADY LAURA BUSH (at least for the next seven weeks) on Meet the Tom, followed by TED TURNER. Face the Bob has their annual book show with BOB WOODWARD, FAREED ZAKARIA and JANE MAYER. Check out Jane on Democracy Now! The Dark Side: Jane Mayer on the Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals from July 18, 2008 for the full hour. This Snuffagupolis spends the hour discussing this week's attacks in India with JACK REED, RICHARD LUGAR and Pakistan's US Ambassador HUSAIN HAQQANI. U-boat Captain Blitzer is all over the road, from Detriot's woes to The Transition and India, featuring the Tag Team of ED ROLLINS & JAMES CARVILLE. Speaking of Rollins, how about HENRY ROLLINS on Ring of Fire Radio talking about corporate media! Our crew recommends saving a special brick for Ole Laura. She's rumored to be going back to her old job as librarian at the BU$H Prezidential Lie-brary haha! The Brick TeeVee crew snuck outta Gramma's with a load of leftovers, including cheescake and wine! (hic). Nothing better than a turkey-n-stuffing omlette topped with cranberry sauce and a side of mashed potatoes and peas on the Sunday Morning after Thanksgiving! More tryptophan? Bring it on!
BRICK TEEVEE ALERTS!
The Economy & The Bailouts We've been digging through Naomi Klein's SHOCK DOCTRINE and recently finished Chapter 12: The Capitalist ID. There we found this tidbit:
-
[John] Williamson casually pointed out that this raised some intriguing questions:
(from a meeting held on January 13, 1993 Washington DC)
"One will have to ask whether it could conceivably make sense to think of deliberately provoking a crisis so as to remove the political logjam to reform. For example, it has sometimes been suggested in Brazil that it would be worthwhile stoking up a hyperinflation so as to scare everyone into accepting those changes ... Presumably no one with historical foresight would have advocated in the mid-1930s that Germany or Japan go to war in order to get the benefits of the supergrowth that followed their defeat. But could a lesser crisis have served the same function? Is it possible to conceive of a pseudo-crisis that could serve the same positive function without the cost of a real crisis?"
Williamson's remarks represented a major leap forward for the shock doctrine. In a room filled with enough finance ministers and central bank chiefs to hold a major trade summit, the idea of actively creating a serious crisis so that the shock therapy could be pushed through was now being openly discussed.
