CHOMSKY ON MIDDLE EAST PEACE

One/two state debate = Irrelevant as Israel-US consolidate by Noam Chomsky

Click for Chomsky Source Article

Crucially flawed = Shin Bet chief warned Israel = Israel becomes Palestinian-Arab majority = the “demographic problem” = a civil rights, anti-Apartheid struggle that will lead to secular democracy

image

3rd Option = Israel-US pursuing = Binational (one-state) secular democracy in former Palestine – from the sea to the river. Proposing a binational (“one state”) settlement without moving on to advocacy in effect provides support for the third option, the realistic one.

3rd Option = 1st step = Create “a disturbing new city” called “Jerusalem”extending far beyond historic Jerusalem, incorporating dozens of Palestinian villages and surrounding lands – designated as a Jewish City and the capital of Israel with lands reaching to Jericho bisecting the West Bank.

Israel = Continues to takes land water and resources on Israeli side of the illegal “separation wall” = separating Palestinian villagers from their fields = Forcing a highly intricate bureaucratic procedure for Palestinians to gain temporary entry to farms or exit for medical care. = Severe disruption of Palestinian lives = + 80% less farmers cultivating their lands + 60% less olives produced = Security for illegal Jewish settlers as 85% of wall SPLITS the occupied West Bank.

Israel = Also continues to take over the Jordan Valley = Fully imprisoning residents with huge infrastructure projects that link illegal settlers to Israel’s urban centers while never having to see Palestinians. + Traditional neocolonial model lets a modern center remains for Palestinian elites, in Ramallah – The remainder of Palestinians languishe = Regular expulsions of Palestinians in the Jordan Valley = reduced Numbers from 300,000 in 1967 to 60,000 today = each action is limited in scope so as not to arouse too much international attention = Cumulative effect and intent COMPLETE TAKEOVER (see Map above).

Israel = To separate Greater Jerusalem from Palestinian must take over the E1 region. Obama = 1st US president to allow unlimited Israeli actions = wink of the eye.

      1. Oslo Accord = declared Gaza and West Bank are unified
      2. US-Israel = Committed to separating the two regions = Palestinians allowed no access to the outside world.

Israel = Takeover Result = A Greater Israel with a substantial Jewish majority. = NO “demographic problem” and no civil rights or anti-Apartheid struggle = So-called “Jewish and democratic”

US-Israel insist upon crucial preconditions = NO NEGOTIATION SINCE 1976:

      1. Negotiations mediated by USA = A participant in the conflict = NOT NEUTRAL
      2. Illegal settlement expansion must continue (20 years now) = Obama = “not helpful to peace” WINK = He vetoed a Security Council resolution ending settlement expansion.

New negotiations with these preconditions = Achieve Israel carrying forward its takeover of whatever it finds valuable in the West Bank and Syrian Golan Heights = annexed in violation of Security Council orders + Ongoing Siege of Gaza = USA SUPPORTED = 3rd Option from the river to the sea with Palestinian rights and aspirations shelved.

EU could exclude West Bank settlements from any future deals with Israel = Step in Right Direction.

If Israel-Palestine conflict is not resolved = Broader implications = “the gravest threat to world peace” = Obama + MULTINATIONAL MEDIA tying in Iran’s nuclear programs. = Who regards the threat as of such cosmic significance? And what is the perceived threat? = Answer: US and Israel and Arab dictators = “the standoff between the international community (USA) and Iran” over perceived threat = Pentagon says NO military threat + intelligence reports no evidence of Iran developing nuclear weapons BUT would be part of Iran’s deterrence strategy and IRAN NEEDS a deterrent more than any other country. = Tormented by the West since 1953. = US-Israel = Regard an Iranian deterrent as an intolerable threat to CONTROL of the ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST and Mediterranean using violence.

NOTE: Iran’s internal repression is of NO concern to the great powers.

Threat Mitigation – Most reasonable = Establishing a nuclear weapons-free zone (NWFZ) in the region = Israel refused to attend a USA sponsored NWFZ conference but Iran announced that it would take part without conditions. = US cancelled the conference calling it premature = Zero in US Press on SUCH A ZONE to reduce “the gravest threat to world peace.”

US and Israel = INSTEAD demand regional security = Security for Israel as a PRE-CONDITION to eliminating such weapons. = Israel has 200 to 400 advanced nuclear weapons

US-Israel: Connecting Israel-Palestine conflict to the alleged Iranian threat = Blocks the international consensus on a two-state Solution = No regional (Israel) security = No moves towards a nuclear weapons-free zone = No solution to “the gravest threat to peace.”

UK + USA = Special OBLIGATION to establishing a Middle East NWFZ. = Faked WMDs in IRAQ = A thin legal cover claiming IRAQ must end their nuclear weapons programs in UN Resolution calling for “steps towards the goal of establishing in the Middle East a zone free from weapons of mass destruction…”

KOCH = GOP GOAL TO BRAIN WASH OUR KIDS ON MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATE LIES AND HYPE THEY CALL A QUALITY EDUCATION – WHILE MAXIMIZING PROFIT ON USING A PRIVATIZATION SCAM!

It is a co-ordinated assault against public delivery of education to create FOR PROFIT SCAM LIKE HEALTH CARE and spread MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATE PROPAGANDA at an early age.  

From below we know this idea of BRAIN WASHING OUR CHILDREN started with Lewis Powell in 1971!

MASSIVE FRAUD SCAMS – Like Reagan did in Health Care = 9,OOO+% OVERCHARGING INFLATION! In Education to BRAIN WASH OUR KIDS, more in Health Care, and THE EXTRACTION OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES FOR LOOTING!

Lewis Powell MAPPED OUT THE TAKEOVER OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT FOR CORPORATE CONSERVATIVES IN 1971!

LEWIS POWELL AND THE CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND SOCIETY

The Powell Manifesto of Corporate Dominance, Censorship, and Destruction of American K to Advanced Educational System written to Director of US Chamber of Commerce 

By Lewis Powell, then corporate lawyer and member of the boards of 11 corporations August 23, 1971 

Chamber and corporate activists took Manifesto to heart and began building a powerful array of institutions designed for Corporate Domination of America over next 40+ years.  Causing shifting of values to Corporate CONTROL!

POWELL’s CLAIMS: 

Corporations are under Attack to be destroyed or subverted by socialists, communist, fascists, and liberals. 

An assault on the enterprise system by Communists, New Leftists and revolutionaries.

Left extremists are numerous, better financed, and more welcomed than ever before.

Powell spoke NOTHING BUT POISON AND NEGATIVISM WITH REGARD to liberals!

Worst are the voices come from “college campus, the pulpit, the media, the intellectual and literary journals, the arts and sciences, and from politicians.” 

The most articulate, the most vocal, the most prolific in their writing and speaking are Professors that the media voluntarily accords unique publicity.

These “attackers” show up on television shaping thinking, attitudes and emotions of our people, but we own the media and can stop this.

“The campuses from which much of the criticism emanates are supported by tax funds generated largely from American business”… and capital and we can stop this. 

We must CONTROL who is “on the boards of trustees of our universities” and therefore the entire campus.

He talks about violence on campus as an excuse for Corporate takeover.

Claims new leftist “spokesmen are succeeding in radicalizing thousands of the young.”

“Greater cause for (Corporate) concern is the hostility of respectable liberals and social reformers….views and influence which could indeed fatally weaken or destroy the (Corporate Enterprise) system.”

He thinks there was Campus “Ideological War Against Western Society.” 

He quotes Milton Friedman of Chicago Schools’ DEBUNKED BILLIONAIRE TRICKLE DOWN AND LAFFER CURVE SUPPLY SIDE THEORY warning: “It (is) crystal clear that the foundations of our free society are under wide-ranging and powerful attack…by misguided individuals…”

His major enemy is Ralph Nader, a legend in his own time and an idol of millions of Americans and who “is aimed at smashing…corporate (blue chip) power…a great many corporate executives belong in prison — for defrauding the consumer with shoddy merchandise, poisoning the food supply with chemical additives, and willfully manufacturing unsafe products that will maim or kill the buyer. 

Claims an assault was made on “our system of justice, and the free enterprise system.” by Charles Reich in book: “The Greening of America.”

He claims these few people “undermine confidence and confuse the public,” into removal of tax incentives (SUBSIDIES and TAX DODGES) through changes in depreciation rates and investment credits that benefit “only the rich, the owners of big companies.”

Claims politicians attack the TAX DODGES of the RICH to help the POOR!

He makes the CLAIM of BILLIONAIRE TRICKLE DOWN to help the poor.

Accuses his opposition of political demagoguery or economic illiteracy. 

Claims setting of the “rich” against the “poor,” of business against the people, is a dangerous kind of politics.

BUSINESS AND CHAMBER RESPONSE 

Powell claims Corporations do appeasement and ignore the attacks on Corporations because businessmen are NOT TRAINED in GUERRILLA WARFARE but instead simply produce and create jobs to make profits (TRICKLE DOWN BS AGAIN) and are good citizens and ANGELS of service.  Businesses are so busy doing wonderful things that they cannot respond to their critics in intellectual and philosophical debate.

POWELL’s PROPOSALS

Setup corporate management to confront this corporate survival issue of protecting and preserving the FREE-ENTERPRISE SCAM system itself – far more than “public relations” or “governmental affairs” – designate an executive vice president whose responsibility is to counter-on the broadest front-the attack on the enterprise system. 

Chamber of Commerce – TRANSFORMED FROM A FINE REPUTATION OF SERVING SMALL BUSINESS INTO AN AGGRESSIVE GUERRILLA WARFARE POLITICAL INFLUENCER, DOMINATOR AND BRIBER OF POLITICIANS!

Beyond individual corporations, many united corporations must fund a single organization (CHAMBER OF CRIMINALS) that does consistent planning and implementation forever to DOMINATE AMERICAN political power.  Powell proposes corporations hiding behind the National Chamber of Commerce to influence Government.

Powell proposes using the hundreds of local Chambers of Commerce to influence public opinions and local elections.

Powell wants the Chamber to be a THINK TANK to PLAN AND PUSH THE CORPORATE AGENDA!

DOMINATION OF UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES

Click for Source Article on Reclaim Democracy

Powell says Colleges and Universities are the most dynamic and dangerous enemy of Corporations and most targets the political scientist, economist, sociologist and many of the historians faculties and even names names.

Powell says to filter out ANTI-CORPORATE FACULTY especially the personally attractive, magnetic, stimulating teachers that attracts smart students and exert enormous influence.   

Powell says follow and censor the prolific writings, textbooks, and even their lecturers who publish far out of proportion to their numbers.  GET RID OF THE EINSTEINS. 

Powell says to replace them with Conservative Oriented professors that support Corporate WELFARE and TAX-DODGING!

Powell claims Liberal professors had an enormous impact on millions of young American students and he wants it ended.

Powell is afraid too many bright young men find Corporate Life offensive and distrust Corporations and their management and gravitate to media, government “staffers” and consultants, elective politics, professors and writers, and various levels of education. 

Powell says too many students end up as “intellectuals” in regulatory agencies or governmental departments with large authority over the business system.

Powell wanted CORPORATE CONTROL OF ALL EDUCATION.

Powell says the Chamber must stop Universities from being hostile to Corporate Crimes – thrust Chamber and Corporate actions on Universities to TOW THE CORPORATE LINE OR ELSE!

Powell wanted to use University and College Administrators to bring faculties in line with Corporate DEMANDS and to balancing out faculties to reflect Corporate Needs by pressuring boards of trustees, alumni groups, and administrators – arguing balance, fairness (LIKE FOX).  He wants to stress Graduate Schools of Business as fruitful to the  Chamber including request specific courses and topics.

Powell wants Chamber’s THINK TANKS to have a staff of highly qualified scholars in the SOCIAL SCIENCES who do believe in the MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATE system to author CORPORATE POSITIVE ARTICLES. 

Powell wanted the Chamber to have a Staff of Speakers for TV and the Media including  scholars to speak for the Chamber and Corporate Interests and he wanted full-time staff personnel for a Speaker’s Bureau which should include the ablest, most effective, advocates from the top echelons of American business that can exert a degree of pressure and insist upon equal time on the college speaking circuit. 

CENSORSHIP OF Textbooks

Powell wants the staff of CORPORATE CONSERVATIVE scholars to evaluate all textbooks, especially in economics, political science and sociology – a continuing CENSORSHIP program to assurance fair and balanced treatment of our MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATE SYSTEM and its accomplishments.  He wanted them to insure critical evaluation of socialism, fascism, communism and other “isms. 

Powell claims the civil rights movement was re-writing many of the textbooks in our universities and schools. 

Powell wants the NATIONAL CHAMBER TO CONTROL High Schools with Action Programs – Ties in with CENSORING OF TEXTBOOKS AND CHOOSING TEACHERS! 

Powell wanted CHAMBER to CONTROL THE PUBLIC a follows:

Powell wanted to tell the public how to think is more important for the shorter term using PROPAGANDA spreading speakers and writers trained to use the media to convince the public of the MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATE AGENDA. 

Powell viewed Television as the best tool for changing the minds of the Public.  

He wanted constant monitoring and surveillance of the networks especially the daily “news analysis” that might criticize the CORPORATE CULTURE and “result is the gradual erosion of confidence in ‘business’ and free enterprise.”

Powell even wanted constant examination of the texts presented on programs as part of his CENSORING STRATEGY using Strong Complaints to the media by powerful CORPORATE INTEREST and the NATIONAL CHAMBER.  

Powell wanted Chamber to DEMAND EQUAL TIME FOR THE MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATE MESSAGES on all NEWS CHANNELS AND PROGRAMS – including “Today Show, Meet the Press, etc.”  

Powell wanted Chamber to CONTROL THE PRESS AND RADIO using “every available means…to challenge and refute unfair (CORPORATE) attacks, as well as to present the (CORPORATE) affirmative case through these media.”

Powell wanted the CHAMBER to pack articles in Scholarly Journals using the PRO-CORPORATE Chamber’s “faculty of scholars” to “publish” and “lecture” with a steady flow of articles in a broad spectrum of magazines and periodicals including major magazines and the Atlantic, Harper’s, Saturday Review, New Yorker and to the various professional journals.

Powell wanted the CHAMBER so-called Scholars to PACK Books, Paperbacks and Pamphlets at airports, drugstores, and elsewhere to advocate THE CORPORATE LINE OF BELIEFS.

Powell wanted Chamber to do Paid Advertisements on the CORPORATE LINE OF BELIEFS in the media to build institutional images and the CORPORATE SYSTEM!  

Powell wanted the CHAMBER TO RUN POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT because of “THE PAYOFF.”  Powell claims the Marxists are taking over and the “capitalists” are have “little influence in government”  (WHAT A LIE!)

Powell wanted CHAMBER CONTROLLED CORPORATE LOBBYISTS to CONTROL ALL ASPECTS OF GOVERNMENT at the NATIONAL and STATE LEVELS. 

Powell wanted “consumerism” and the “environmental” concerns to be COMPLETELY NULLIFIED (HE HATES NADER AND ENVIRONMENTALISTS) in FAVOR OF CORPORATIONS DOING WHATEVER THEY WITH TO THE PUBLIC.

Powell wanted to use EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS, EDUCATIONAL PROPAGANDA, ADVERTISING, AND LARGE SCALE CENSORSHIP to DESTROY ALL CONSUMER PROTECTIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS to change THE PUBLICS’ MINDS.  

Powell wanted the DOMINATE CORPORATE “POLITICAL POWER used aggressively and with determination — without embarrassment and without the reluctance” by the CHAMBER.

Powell wanted the CHAMBER to CONTROL THE COURTS using an activist-minded Supreme Court CONTROLLED BY CORPORATE APPOINTMENTS.  Powell called “the judiciary the most important instrument for social, economic and political change.”

Powell wanted CHAMBER to initiate or intervene in scores of cases each year including filing briefs – amicus curiae in the Supreme Court calling “this is a vast area of opportunity for the Chamber” in pushing the CORPORATE AGENDA “a highly competent staff of lawyers.”

Powell lied that MOST AMERICANS (he says 20 million of 311 million or 6.4%) own  stock in CORPORATIONS calling them the Neglected Stockholders. Powell admits CORPORATIONS are managed by over-paid executives that (ANOTHER LIE) are job creators implying (ANOTHER LIES) Billionaire TRICKLE DOWN.  Powell says the public provides the capital which fuels the economic system – LEVERAGED BY BANKSTER FRAUDS to PRODUCE THE GREATEST INEQUALITY OF WEALTH AND INCOME IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD!

Powell wanted the CHAMBER to DOMINATE THE STOCKHOLDER WORLD using the same PROPAGANDA AND CENSORSHIP used on the PUBLIC and in EDUCATION by publishing in CORPORATE NEWS MAGAZINES sent to employees and stockholders. 

Powell even wanted the Chamber to establish a national organization of American stockholders as a PROPAGANDA ARM.

Powell wanted an “Aggressive Attitude” by CHAMBER and CORPORATIONS to SEVERELY attack anyone who attacks THE CORPORATE LINE OF BELIEFS using DIRECT “confrontation.” 

Powell say “There should be no hesitation to attack the Naders, the Marcuses” who attack the CORPORATE LINE.  There should be NO “reluctance to penalize politically those who oppose it.”

Lewis Powell said “American business…has demonstrated the greatest capacity in all history to produce and to (PROPAGANDIZE) influence consumer decisions” and CHAMBER AND CORPORATIONS need to sell the CORPORATE AGENDA THE SAME WAY.

Powell thought of Freedom as Free Enterprise and commingled that with individual freedom as did Milton Friedman with his CHICAGO SCHOOL LIES.  He wanted freedom for CORPORATIONS TO DO AS THEY PLEASE INCLUDING EXPLOITATION OF AMERICANS.

Powell PURPOSEFULLY COMMINGLED FREE ENTERPRISE WITH CORPORATE FRAUD AND WELFARE in with INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS AS IF THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME.

Powell put on the other SIDE HE PURPOSEFULLY COMMINGLED bureaucratic regulation of CORPORATIONS with REGULATION OF INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS. 

Powell and CORPORATE CONSERVATIVES USE INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS AS A SHIELD TO JUSTIFY CORPORATE FRAUD AND EXPLOITATION OF THE MIDDLE CLASS.

Powell argues that because of complexities of a vast urban society some regulation is necessary and then argues it seriously impairs the freedom of both (commingling)business and the public. 

Powell pretended that private ownership is wide spread when most wealth belongs to 5% – many not Americans

Powell pretends consumer choice is real in a MONOPOLISTIC SYSTEM.

Powell pretends we have competitive markets with corporations competing over price, quality, and choices.  When we have MIDDLE CLASS TAXPAYERS SUBSIDIZING MONOPOLISTIC CORPORATIONS, SKIMMING OVERPAID AND SQUANDERING EXECUTIVES AND BILLIONAIRES EXPLOITING SLAVERY IN ASIA AND AMERICA TO BECOME RICHER THAN THE OLD MONARCHS!

Powell and CORPORATIONS AND THE CHAMBER live in a DREAM WORLD OF LIES – MANY THEY TELL THEMSELVES DAILY!

Powell argues that TAXES are TOO LARGE ON CORPORATIONS AND THE RICH AND RELATES THAT SOMEHOW TO LOSS OF ECONOMIC FREEDOM – CALLING IT, “the socialist and totalitarian state.”  

Powell wanted CORPORATIONS TO HAVE UNLIMITED “ECONOMIC FREEDOM: TO ROB AND RAPE THE PEOPLE AND THE EARTH WITHOUT “governmental restrictions on cherished rights.”

Powell says “business and the enterprise system” MUST DOMINATE OVER THE COMING DECADES AND THEY DID FOR 40+ YEARS OF PILLAGING AND ROBBERY OF THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS!

FDR’s SECOND BILL OF RIGHTS

“The Economic Bill of Rights” as defined by FDR

FDR’s strategy for winning lasting peace with World leading American living standard included the right to a good job, food and clothing, decent living, freedom from monopolies, a decent home, medical care to enjoy good health, protection from fears of old age, and a good education.

No faction of our people can be ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.

This Republic grew under the protection of certain inalienable political rights—The right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.

These political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness. But true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made. A second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.

Among these are:

The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

The right of every family to a decent home;

The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

The right to a good education.

All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.

America’s own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for all our citizens.

For unless there is security here at home there cannot be lasting peace in the world.
