BLACK CONGRESS BRIBED AND FEARFUL SUPPORTS ISRAELI MURDERS ON THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS

Black Political Elite BOUGHT BY AIPAC + WALL STREET BRIBES Support Israel’s Assault on Gaza = MONEY SPEAKS AND MORALS GO THE HECK!

ONLY CORNELL WEST SPEAKS THE TRUTH ON ISRAELI URDERS OF 1,8OO+ INNOCENT PALESTINIANS = 85+% CIVILIANS

The Real News Network Interview of GLEN FORD BY JESSICA DESVARIEUX, TRNN PRODUCER

Click for THE REAL NEWS NETWORK INTERVIEW

Glen Ford, Black Commentator, Aug 4, 2014 Interview: “Past members of the Black Caucus stood up against Israeli aggression, but today these voices are silenced by corporate financing.”

Ford is the author of “The Big Lie: An Analysis of U.S. Media Coverage of the Grenada Invasion.”

FORD: “In Great Britain, the Black Student Union, the national Black Student Union, has joined in condemning Israel’s vicious attacks on Gaza. But we hear no equivalent here in the United States.”

FORD: House + Senate passed a unanimous resolution giving Israel a blank check in weapons and funds to MURDER Palestinians in Gaza.

FORD: 40+ black members of Congress — Even Barbara Lee went along with this unanimous blank check for Israel.

FORD: A little bit later, however, 6 in HOUSE and 4 of them black = the most that they could do was to send a letter to the White House urging Secretary of State Kerry to try to get a ceasefire going in Gaza. = Barbara Lee + Conyers + Keith Ellison + Hank Johnson = But not one of them could bring themselves to oppose Israel’s actions.

FORD: NAACP + Al Sharpton = Biggest civil rights organization = Said not a word about Gaza.

FORD: ONLY Cornel West of Princeton University consistently speaks out against the oppression of Palestinians by the Israelis.

FORD: A 30 year history of a deep and profound black critique of Israeli racial behavior in Free South Africa movement, when Israel collaborated very closely with South Africa to help develop an atomic bomb in a deep partnership militarily.

FORD: South Africa and Israel were routinely denounced by student activists and older and more established black politicians. But you hear none of that today.

Why this silence on apartheid? Why the change? What happened?

FORD: We’ve see profound changes in the Congressional Black Caucus since 2002 = NOW Awash in corporate money + Even smaller union funding has AIPAC STRINGS ATTACHED = Pro-Zionist influence

FORD: Go back three decades = We heard something that sounded like a semblance of criticism, even from politicians in the Congressional Black Caucus + Real noise on the street.

FORD: TODAY we have almost no movement on the street in black America, and that’s why we find the silence there as well regarding Palestine.

ONLY CORNEL WEST offers pro-Palestinian rally was held at Lafayette Park.

Professor Cornel West = Gave an impassioned speech outside the White House.

People shout anti-Jew epithets at a small counter pro-Israel protest in front of the White House + Pro-Palestinian protesters say “stop the genocide” – Referring to 1,8OO+ murders of Palestinians.

Noam Chomsky: Can Civilization Survive Capitalism?

Noam Chomsky: Can Civilization Survive Capitalism?

“Capitalism” in U.S. economic system = ENORMOUS MIDDLE CLASS TAXPAYER SUBSIDIES TO “TOO-BIG-TO-FAIL” BANKS + HIGHLY MONOPOLIZED + ALMOST NO REAL MARKETS THAT TRUELY PROCE GOODS AND SERVICES + RECORD SHARE OF PROFITS TO 200 LARGEST CORPORATIONS = NO CAPITALISTS + NO COMPETITION = JUST MONOPOLIST EXTRACTORS = CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT BY THE MULTINATIONAL $BILLIONAIRES = Large majority “down below” has been virtually disenfranchised = GOVERNMENT PLUTOCRACY AND NO DEMOCRACY AND NEAR ZERO CITIZEN INFLUENCE!

RECD = “REALLY EXISTING CAPITALIST DEMOCRACY” = MULTINATIONAL FRAUD MEANS FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACY CAN NOT EXIST UNDER RECD!

A Functioning democracy could SAVE AMERICA AND AVERT THE LOOMING Environmental catastrophe.

USA = Public opinion DOES NOT SET USA POLICIES = Quite the opposite = EVEN overwhelming scientific consensus is IGNORED = “Huge majorities have favored steps by the federal government to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated when utilities produce electricity. In 2006, 86 percent of respondents favored requiring utilities, or encouraging them with tax breaks, to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases they emit. Also in that year, 87 percent favored tax breaks for utilities that produce more electricity from water, wind or sunlight.”

FACT = Public is influenced by science is deeply troubling to those who dominate the economy and state policy.

ALEC = “Environmental Literacy Improvement Act” = Corporate-funded propaganda lobby that designs LAWS FAVORING corporate sector and extremely wealthy = TEACH climate-change denial and CREATIONISM to “balance” ACCEPTED climate science in public schools. = SEVERAL RED STATES HAVE IT! + ALEC pushes media reports to present a controversy between two sides on climate change.

ALEC ignores that Environmental catastrophe risks the fate of the human and many species with nowhere to run for a bailout. USA and Canada are seeking to burn fossil fuels, including the extremely dangerous Canadian tar sands, and to do so as quickly and fully as possible. = SOLD as the wonders of energy independence = ALEC + RECD Ignores self-destruction = OPPOSITE OF RATIONAL THINKING!

Noam Chomsky speech February 10th 2014 – “How to Ruin an Economy; Some Simple Ways”

#1 Cut federal funding for research and development = Grows gap between TOP 1% and 99% = Destroys long term growth of America

#2 Ignore eager hands who want work and don’t use any resources “designed for human needs. These things didn’t just happen like a tornado, they are the results of deliberate policies over roughly the past generation.” — Chomsky

Chomsky says government controlled by the MULTINATIONAL $BILLIONAIRES and their CORPORATIONS are insuring the US and other economies fail for the overwhelming majority of people.

Chomsky = We’re a nation whose leaders are pursuing policies that amount to economic suicide.

ISRAEL = USA = VIOLATE INTERNATIONAL LAWS = CHOMSKY VIDEO

MAY 2014: CHOMSKY — ON Palestinian Authority-HAMAS UNITY AGREEMENT SAYS HAMAS RECOGNIZES ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO BE A STATE + NON-VIOLENCE + RECOGNIZES ALL PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS = ALL CONDITIONS OF THE QUARTET OF USA + EU + RUSSIA + UN AGREED TO IN 2006.

ISRAEL = USA = VIOLATE INTERNATIONAL LAWS = CHOMSKY VIDEO

ISRAEL + USA = REFUSED NOW TO RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN CONDITIONS AND REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THE UNITY GOVERNMENT! = BASED ON PURE LIES!

CHOMSKY = ISRAEL + USA REJECTS PALESTINIAN STATE’S RIGHT TO EXIST + REJECTS ALL PERVIOUS AGREEMENTS (OSLO ACCORDS + OTHERS) + RESERVES THE RIGHT TO USE VIOLENCE AGAINST PALESTINIANS AND OTHER ARABS.

CHOMSKY = 2 OTHER ISRAELI PRE-CONDITIONS FOR PEACE BY BOTH USA & ISRAEL = #1 PALESTINE IS RUN BY USA (ISRAEL IS USA) + #2 ISRAEL MUST BE ABLE TO EXPAND SETTLEMENTS INTO PALESTINIAN LANDS (UNLIMITED SETTLERS) = USA VETOED UN LIMITS ON SETTLER EXPANSION INTO PALESTINE = UN UNANIMOUS VOTE DECLARED ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS IN WEST BANK VIOLATE INTERNATIONAL LAWS (USA ONLY COUNTRY TO ABSTAIN FROM VOTE).

CHOMSKY NOTE UNKNOWN TO AMERICANS BECAUSE OF CONTROL OF MSM = “USA IS THE GREATEST THREAT TO WORLD PEACE.” (See at 4 Minutes into his speech) = GALLOP POLL CITED BY NY POST!

Noam Chomsky and Andre Vltchek, BOOK “On Western Terrorism: From Hiroshima to Drone Warfare.” Pluto Press 2013.

Chomsky and Vltchek = Painfully aware of the failure of Western intellectual classes to see how their governments contribute to the misery of much of the world population.

Chomsky and Vltchek = West has a sophisticated media propaganda system that keeps Western-inflicted horrors mostly out of sight by using constant fake emphasis on Western democratic values hides ugly facts of Western geopolitical interests, corporate greed and naked exploitation of other people’s resources.

Chomsky and Vltchek = The world propaganda system spreads false information about former and existing Communist countries. Vltchek has a surprisingly positive view of today’s China. “Many people who go to China with an open mind are very impressed. I am also very encouraged by the optimism of their people.”

Chomsky and Vltchek = We live on a planet where 10 MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS control almost everything you buy.

Chomsky and Vltchek = 6 Million children die/year from lack of elementary medical procedures, which could be provided at virtually no cost.

Chomsky and Vltchek = The subtle nature “An intellectual and moral colonization as well as political and economic colonization” makes it difficult to see who are the real enemies of oppressed people

Chomsky and Vltchek = Surprisingly optimistic about the possibility of change for the better.

Chomsky and Vltchek = US now controls a smaller chunk of the global economy but argues that with allies like Europe and Japan its hegemony is pretty much intact.

Chomsky and Vltchek = “by 1970 American share of world wealth was down to about 25 percent, which is enormous but not 50 percent, as it was in 1945.”

Chomsky and Vltchek = “In the last ten years, the loss of South America (by USA) is very significant, for that was considered completely safe.”

Chomsky and Vltchek = “The (USA) imperial mentality remains very much in place…” BUT THE NEOCONS/NEOLIBERALS HAVE TO WORK AT IT MUCH HARDER!

Chomsky = We have only two choices: to give up or keep on trying to make things better.

Vltchek = QUOTES Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano: “The worst thing you can do to the poor is to take away their hope.”
