So Who does Control The world?

[jet57]

I found the Noam Chomsky interview to be quite good, he does hammer the left pretty good. It is his outstanding connection with historical fact and those outcomes that draws me to his speaking and writing.

He has a very soft voice however so you really have to listen:




Please take the few minutes to watch before you comment. I think you'll be surprised by what he says.

Only problem is America IS NOT a Democracy.......It's a REPUBLIC. And THAT is why people hate our Politicians. Even after the Civil war, the Law was not changed. We still elect and require a Statist to make our decisions for us. A true DEMOCRACY would have straight votes.

"Who controls the world"~ no ONE. The Religious groups and the Government groups want to try to "evolve" people into their way of thinking. Because the world would be perfect if everyone thought like "me". The funny thing about people is they don't want to be forced to fall in line and/or think like you.

The only thing you can do to help people think like you is to drop books, not bombs.

Education of the most advanced Countries violence back when they were not advanced are exactly the same as unadvanced Countries today...

I'd hoped for a more substantive response with regard to the interview content.

First, we are a republic operating through representative democracy, not direct democracy which you label TRUE democracy.

Secondly, with respect to who controls the world and controlling thinking, all that is covered by Chomsky in the interview, which you have not commented on.

So our computers are down at work and I was reading that and laughed loud enough that I had to explain to my super that it was because my computer sucks.

He's full of it. The U.S. is the most powerful country on earth in some ways. But it does not do what pirates do: surprise hit innocents and kill innocent people to steal their possessions. Not as a matter of policy, anyway. To equate a terrorist and a country is idiocy and shows a hatred for the country.

I will say that Britain does have a history of invading and occupying countries. The U.S. does not. Britain's case history may come from the fact that it descends from a monarchy that goes back for centuries, when that was the way of the world. What it did to South Africa and India, though, I find no excuse for.

The U.S. did enter the nasty territory of imperialistic society when it invaded and occupied Iraq, though. That is a blot on our history that will stay with us. It should not have happened. Still, it wasn't as bad as what Britain did in S. Africa or India. At least with Iraq, we tried to get the U.N. to go along with it, and our reasons (false as they were) were presented.

To equate that with pirates who kill men, women, and children to steal their boats and their possessions, or kidnap them for ransom, is ridiculous. This guy is a hatemonger and nut.

Well, what makes him full of it? Would you not agree that US controls a global economic hegemony?

You do agree that the Iraqi war was an unsolicited invasion of a sovereign country very much the way a pirate operates on the high seas. (as just one example). Usurping sovereign leaders of other countries is another example.

Britain’s case history is derives from the empires of the feudal age, but Britain’s influence today is still world wide in the case of several countries. Their economic and foreign policies are geared to keep them in control just as it is with US. “Control” in these instances do not reflect open oppression with a flag on every shore and all you have to do to see that is by looking at China today, vs the Soviet Union of days gone by…

The mob are pirates too. “pirate” is just a name, but corporations and governments act he very same way and have since the beginning of civilization. I think that it is ignorant (not stupid, but ignorant) not to reach a conclusion, that from Iran in 1953, to Vietnam, to Iraq, the US has engaged in behavior and economic control of others that matches exactly the point that Chomsky makes. His credentials and world respect are enough to validate his credibility in world affairs, What causes them and results from the manipulation of them for control is what he is reporting on in the interview.

No, I do not "agree that the Iraqi war was an unsolicited invasion of a sovereign country very much the way a pirate operates on the high seas." Permission was solicited from the other world powers....and granted. It was not at all what a pirate does, who is a criminal of the worst sort....intentionally killing or kidnapping people for money and possessions.

There's a big difference.

Two things can be wrong, but be different.

Until the Iraq War, though, the U.S. didn't do such things. So we don't have a history of doing that, if history means on more than one occasion. There are those, also, who say it wasn't for monetary gain (I'm one who thinks it was; would we have gone there if it didn't have oil? Nope.)

That's all I have to say about this hatemonger.

Your gaps of knowledge on the history of US interventions in other countries is HUGE, and I really don't think you've grasped what was being said.
