No "proofs" are necessary to make the point, after you read "Shock Doctrine " by Naomi Klein, of "No Logo" fame. The latter I never read, since she would have been preaching to the converted (me) and the former...Doctrine... her more current, well what can I say. Amongst the many things she recounts, is the Allende coup, which when it happened at the time I heard the CIA, World Bank and ITT were implicated . This goaded me to naively cease using phones ('70's style land lines) but ultimately I caved for any number of reasons and joined the sheeple. Kleins' recounting and update of the coup along with similiar US incursions has reawakened me. Another possible more contentious book is "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by Perkins (I'm not sure of that author name). Regardless, these two books dovetail nicely and will give you a proper schooling.
