Crimes, period. The Shock Doctrine has indeed been used by many autocratic systems, probably since time immemorial, but it's really getting use bigtime lately by the New World Order. Every new crisis provides another opportunity to tighten the screws on the ordinary public. The only question is, do you wait for a crisis to conveniently come along...or do you arrange one? Doing the latter is riskier, because you might get caught, but the temptation to do it probably outweighs the fear of being exposed most of the time...and if you control the mainstream media, well, who's to worry?
