Chomsky: Obama Is ‘Dedicated To Increasing Terrorism’
Chomsky: Obama Is ‘Dedicated To Increasing Terrorism’
In a wide-ranging interview with GRITtv host Laura Flanders, MIT professor and author Noam Chomsky plainly stated that President Barack Obama’s administration is “dedicated to increasing terrorism†all around the world.
In his view, the NSA spying scandal clearly illustrates how subservient to corporate and state power the American media has become. “There would be headlines saying this is a bad joke†if the press wanted to be truly independent, Chomsky told Flanders.
“The Obama administration is dedicated to increasing terrorism,†he went on. “In fact, it’s doing it all over the world. Obama, first of all, is running the biggest terrorist operation that exists, maybe in history. The drone assassination campaigns, which are just part of it… All of these operations, they are terror operations.â€
Chomsky continued: “People have a reaction, they don’t say, ‘Fine, I don’t care if my cousin was murdered.’ And they become what we call terrorists. This is completely understood from the highest level, that as you carry out these operations you’re generating terrorism.â€
“Sometimes it’s almost surreal,†he lamented, recalling the congressional testimony of a man from Yemen who claimed a single drone strike turned his whole village against the U.S. — something the extremist Muslims in his region had failed to do.

101. When you have a body of work as posthumous as Chomsky's
I can say "You are important only to yourself" and you can laugh at me but quietly understand that you have this amazing set of books, recordings and other intellectual gifts to humanity.
until you have such a body of work, all of you on this thread that like to criticize Chomsky.. well please STFU...

Ah...the ancient lib tradition of reacting to being forced to choose between 2 icons. One always gets the bus treatment.

He's under the bus.......... for now. When a Republican is reelected as prez, they'll scrub off the tire marks, re-inflate him, prop him back on his throne, and once again sing his praises.

Wasn't Chomsky a DUmp hero when he was pretty much saying the same thing about Bush?

When everything's bad, nothing's good, eh (D)Ummies? So, what is actually good about your Lightbringer?
Nothing, you flaming idiots.
At least Chomsky is, somewhat, consistent albeit, a jackass.

Would love it if one of you could dig up some hypocrisy regarding DUmp members fawning over Chumpsky.
