Via Democracy Now! comes this report about how many right wing think tanks are already speculating on the best way to “take advantage” of the disaster in Haiti.
Journalist and author Naomi Klein spoke in New York last night and addressed the crisis in Haiti: “We have to be absolutely clear that this tragedy—which is part natural, part unnatural—must, under no circumstances, be used to, one, further indebt Haiti and, two, to push through unpopular corporatist policies in the interest of our corporations. This is not conspiracy theory. They have done it again and again.”

[...] La Macha posted commentary by Naomi Klein from Democracy Now about who is profiting from what is goi…. I completely agree with Klein who states “we need to make sure that the aid that goes to Haiti is grants not loans.” I’ve been listening to Omar Rodriguez Lopez’s 2009 album Old Money a lot this week, and I find that it fits pretty well into this conversation as it has helped me cope in various ways. Here’s the title track that I find ironically soothing and calming. This is also a hint as to what to expect for the next Radio VL music review! [...]
