I looked up Naomi Klein. Yeesh, what a wingding. A few highlights from her wiki article:

“In a September 2004 article for Harper’s Magazine,[30] she argues that, contrary to popular belief, the Bush administration did have a clear plan for post-invasion Iraq, which was to build a completely unconstrained free market economy. She describes plans to allow foreigners to extract wealth from Iraq, and the methods used to achieve those goals.”

“In a speech in Ramallah on 27 June, she apologized to the Palestinians for not joining the BDS campaign earlier.[38] Her remarks, particularly that “[Some Jews] even think we get one get-away-with-genocide-free-card” were characterized by an op-ed columnist in the Jerusalem Post as “violent” and “unethical””

“She has encouraged the Occupy movement to join forces with the environmental movement, saying the financial crisis and the climate crisis have the same root—unrestrained corporate greed”

Mamma Mia!

I started to read up on Naomi but stopped when I hit the part about Halliburton and Blackwater running the war in Iraq for profit - Oy Vay
