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.”

ISRAEL’S REAL LONG TERM GOAL = MURDER EVERY ARAB

What is the real purpose of Israel’s mass murder of civilians in Gaza? = MURDER EVERY ARAB!

Click for Source Article

In Gaza the inhabitants do not have the luxury of fleeing for their lives. In a cage, there’s nowhere to run. WHOLE FAMILIES OF 18 AND 25 WERE MURDERED! 85+% OF PALESTINIANS ARE INNOCENT!

The slogan of the Mafia has become official Israeli policy. Israel sincerely believes that if it kills hundreds of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, quiet will reign.

ISRAEL’S FAKED AND REAL GOALS: TUNNELS (POINTLESS) + DISARM HAMAS *NEVER HAPPEN) + TERMINATE HAMAS (IT GETS STRONGER WITH EACH MURDER) + KEEPING THE GAZA PRISON GOING (TRUE UNTIL THEY ARE ALL DEAD) = MURDER ALL ARABS (REAL GOAL = NEVER HAPPEN) = MAP OF PAIN AS THE LIFELESS BODIES OF CHILDREN PILE UP

Since first Lebanon war = 30 years ago = MURDER of Arabs is Israel’s GOAL = Arabs are born to be killed — They have no other goal in life, so Israel MURDERS them.

CIVILIAN KILLING CRIMINALS = MERCILESS GAZA PRISON + Barrages of CARPET BOMBS + MASS MURDERS + ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS OF HOMES LEVELED along with HUNDREDS of women and children + Generals make the most monstrous proposal: “If we kill their families, that will frighten them. We must create a situation such that when they come out of their burrows, they won’t recognize Gaza.” — Maj.Gen. Oren Shachor = Deliberate targeting of civilians = Atrocious Terror of ISRAELIS against 1.8 million inhabitants in human desperation.

Hamas = NOT an army

1,675+ PALESTINIANS MURDERED = 85+% INNOCENT CIVILIANS

Israel uses DEAD MURDERING ISRAELI SOLDIER = EXCUSE TO MURDER MORE THOUSANDS MORE INNOCENTS = BOMB HOSPITALS + UN SCHOOLS

Netanyahu = PALESTINIANS WILL PAY AN “intolerable price” = Israel Defense Forces Chief Rabbi, announced the death of the IDF infantry officer of the Givati Brigade, Lieutenant Hadar Goldin = killed in battle August 1, 2014

ISRAEL CLOSED ALL 30 TUNNELS = “Our understanding is that our objectives, most importantly the destruction of the tunnels, are close to completion.” –Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Lerner

PALESTINIANS = Massively outgunned by Jewish state

Gazan towns FLATTENED = Devastated = 70,000 PALESTINIANS FORCED OUT OF TOWN

520,000 PALESTINIANS HOMELESS in Gaza
