I'm floored today thinking about "Disaster Capitalism"

Flint
Private Insurance
Opioid Epidemic
Haiti (and places like it where a "natural disaster" creates an opening for exploitation)
Ferguson (and places like it, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, etc)
CA fires

Literally - everything horrible that happens on a large scale - that requires a community or state or national effort to address - a coming together of the people...

Instead is meted out to the corporate for-profit interests who dismantle the previous community based solutions and legal protections (obstacles) to replace them with for-profit corporate based exploitative businesses that look to gentrify or industrialize or otherwise exploit the dire situation on the ground for personal profit off of the backs of desperate people, ensuring they become destitute and utterly powerless to resist further exploitation.

Many have warned what America routinely does to other nations would inevitably come home to roost here, too - creating a coup, then installing and exploiting banana republics leaving their citizens destitute and in horrific slave conditions and leaving the nation impoverished and ecologically ruined.

And it literally just dawned on me this morning:

It's here.

Sandy hook, Haiti, Flint, Ferguson, CA, the opioid epidemic - it's all here.

Even our government is being replaced with crony capitalists - even Gestapo (ahem! I mean CIA) agents. 25% of the dems running in the 2018 midterms have overt CIA connections. They're openly calling for war with Russia and Iran (pretty much synonymous).

This nation has gone through a coup to install Bush, and another to replace Trump's administration with CIA war hawks and deep state loyalist stooges.

We are any other banana republic being railroaded under disaster capitalism for war and hijinks to profit the very few at the expense of the lives and livelihoods of the great many.

We are finally coming home.
