Noam Chomsky to RT: Bush torturer, Obama just kills
President Obama
RT οn Twitter twitter.com RT οn Facebook www.facebook.com Pinning іtѕ hopes οn thе sole support οf thе US, Israel risks a collapse іf іt іѕ еνеr withdrawn - much Ɩіkе apartheid-era South Africa, prominent scholar Professor Noam Chomsky warns. Hе recalls hοw South Africans felt safe tο ignore a UN embargo аnԁ corporations pulling out οf thеіr country throughout thе 1980s, аѕ long аѕ thе Reagan administration continued tο support thеm. Aѕ soon аѕ thе US withdrew іtѕ support, thе apartheid regime collapsed. "Fοr 35 years, thе US аnԁ Israel hаνе bееn rejecting a political settlement thаt іѕ supported virtually bу thе entire world. A couple οf months ago, thеrе wаѕ a meeting οf thе oligarchs -- people whο pretty much rυn thе economy [οf Israel]," Chomsky ѕауѕ, "аnԁ thеу warned thе government thаt іt better accept something Ɩіkе thіѕ resolution, bесаυѕе otherwise, Israel wіƖƖ bе, аѕ thеу рυt іt, South Africanized: even more isolated, wіth boycotts, refusal tο load ships, аnԁ thеіr economy wіƖƖ collapse."
@GiantSandles Damn straight.
For all his talk of “taking on the powers that be”, Alex Jones claims that every protest movement which doesn’t align 100% with his political views is either a government conspiracy from the get-go or is being hijacked by the government.
Now, governments do now and have in the past infiltrated popular movements, but when you find yourself saying (more or less) that everyone who disagrees with you is Illuminati, you’ve got to step back and question yourself, man.
stupid conspiracy theorists again playing in the hands of the powerful and wealthy…i pity you guys. GW Bush is laughing and applauding your efforts to distract from real issues and reality.
Chomsky a mass-murderer? Your stupidity knows no limits. Read at least 1 book from him on politics, and see how stupid you look when you say such a monstrous stupidity. And don’t fucking tell me you have read a book of him. Because you haven’t. Im starting to doubt your mental health.
@Eddiesilence You are trapped in old ways of thinking. The U.S. is at war with al-Qaeda whether you “approve” or not. This is the reality of the 21st-c. We’re supposed to let them go around killing everyone just because they aren’t a nation state? They get off on a technicality? Ridiculous.
@danielvincentkelley
I agree with most of what you say, probably over 90%. Spread the message
@sutircomed The law is to there deal with criminals, and Al Qaeda are criminals. You are trapped in the idea that international law applies to other people, and not the USA. Wrong. Your attitude to law and criminality is unacceptable. Your country is not the boss – in fact China will overtake your country within 5 years, and then Beijing will be shooting its enemies in New York City without process of law. Is that acceptable, because that is what your logic will bring?
@Eddiesilence Your interpretation of the situation is faulty. As Obama has made clear, the U.S. is at war with al-Qaeda. Why are you so interested in protecting these terrorists? Also, don’t seek employment as a prophet, okay.
@sutircomed Your interpretation is illegal. You are clearly not a political scientist or a credible commentator.
@Eddiesilence Obama is a Constitutional scholar. He knows what he’s doing far better than someone like you.
Again, this is a war.
@sutircomed Who has trashed the constitution and failed to observe the law he taught at college! Durrr. That’s what serving the Fortune 500 does to your legal sensibilities. Welcome to realpolitik, you naive young thing.
@Eddiesilence He hasn’t trashed the Constitution. You’re just displaying your own ignorance.
@sutircomed Due process granted to Awlaki? Constitution? With your logic, I’m surprised you’re not a Tea Partier.
@Eddiesilence If you join the Nazis or al-Qaeda or whatever, you become a fair target in a war. It’s that simple.
You sound like the Tea Partier — anti-Obama no matter what.
@sutircomed Sure thing Ms. Palin.
@Eddiesilence Really silly-dumb response.
Look: I’ve clarified my position. What al-Awlaki did was exactly like an American during WWII joining the Nazis. It makes him a fair target.
@sutircomed Totally different situation. Go to school.
@Eddiesilence No, it’s not. You just haven’t caught up with the 21st c. We are at war with al-Qaeda, just as were with Nazi Germany.
You seem to specialize in cheapshots rather than coherent arguments.
@sutircomed If you want to be taken seriously, then you must point to the country of Al Qaeda on a map of the world, and then point to the declaration of war upon that country. Otherwise it falls under international criminal law. Go to school.
ignore @sutircomed. don’t feed the trolls. they don’t contribute to the site and repeat the same nonsense.
@Eddiesilence So your argument is that al-Qaeda can simply blow up what it wants w/o fear of military retaliation because it is not a country. Brilliant.
The Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. says we are at war with al-Qaeda. And so we are. What you say doesn’t matter in the least.
This man is brilliant. Listen to what he’s saying. Thank you Mr. Chomsky.
I smell sulfer.
@jamesmbsmith Yep. You should see Alex Jones’ interview with Chomsky. Naturally, he agreed with the ideas presented in ‘Manufacturing Consent’, but the minute Chomsky even infers that gun control is a good idea, Jones goes insane. He even called him a ‘government shill’ – or words to that effect – after Chomsky had left.
@sutircomed
There’s no such thing as a “fair target”. It’s not human rights for some, it’s for everyone, including people you don’t like.
Noam and Norm are two really interesting people, and really lone voices in academia.
@sutircomed “The Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. says we are at war with al-Qaeda. And so we are.” Are you talking about a political system, or playing Simple Simon? Why do you think Obama is the dictator of the world, and why do you think he should be? What if India declared war on the KKK, could they invade Georgia to kill its members?
