Naomi Klein explains where the investment money is really going. The hot ticket is private security and all that that can provide for the rich.
Forget the green technology - the hot money is in guns
Of course, there is still money to be made from going green; but there is much more green - at least in the short term - to be made from selling escape and protection. As Lloyd explains: "The failure rate of security businesses is much lower than clean-tech ones; and, as important, the capital investment required to build a successful security business is also much lower." In other words, finding solutions for real problems is hard, but turning a profit from those problems is easy.

Fewer and fewer have more and more. A new feudalism is being created daily and feudal lords always fear the unwashed masses. They do what all feudal lords have always done as the society around them starts to fall apart. they build "private fortresses" and private armies. Nothing new about any of this.
They're partying on the titanic except when the boat does sink, the helicopter comes and places you on titanic 2. Could explain some of the meaning behind waterboarding, its ingraining the notion that many are going to drown or sink.
Interesting hypothesis about water boarding. I doubt it though. I think BV$H and his crowd are just sadistic MFer's that like being able to torture whomever they please. They'd have slavery back as well if they could get away with it.
