My 2 Year Anniversary on YouTube! RepresentativePress Videos
Excerpt from a 40 minute interview with Noam Chomsky:
TOM MURPHY: I agree with you that - or is this what you're saying that, is it economic reasons ...

NOAM CHOMSKY: Strategic reasons. I mean, economic and strategic, which are impossible to distinguish. But since the Second World War, I'll quote the State Department, the Middle East oil producing regions have been regarded, I'll quote the words, "a stupendous source of strategic power." George Kennan, State Department, head of the planning section said control, not access, control over the Middle East oil gives us "veto power" over what our rivals might do, other industrial powers. You control the spigot, have your hand on the spigot, you have a lot of world control. It's not even access to oil. The first, roughly, 30 years after the Second World War, the U.S. was - North America was the major oil producer. It wasn't using Middle East oil, never the less we had to keep an iron hand of control on Middle East oil and if the U.S. were to go to solar energy, they'd still want to control Middle East oil because that's a lever of world control. Everyone understands it but we're not allowed to think about it.

I plan to put the whole interview on YouTube soon.

Here's a link to another talk Chomsky gave about U.S. Middle East Policy
Noam Chomsky at Columbia University, April 4, 1999
http://www.chomsky.info/talks/19990404.htm
"the US took over from Britain in the Middle East and, in fact, much of the world, after the Second World War. In fact actually, replaced Britain and France. France was summarily expelled— they weren't given the time of day. Britain however, was given a role. It was given the role of "junior partner", as the British foreign office rather ruefully described it, accurately. Britain was going to be our lieutenant— the fashionable word is "partner"— as they were described by a senior adviser in the Kennedy administration. That's reasonably accurate— you're seeing an example of it right now. The lieutenant is doing its job— the attack-dog, maybe."
http://www.chomsky.info/talks/19990404.htm
"The core issue in the Middle East is very straightforward, namely oil. Since WWI, when the world began to move onto an oil-based economy, the Middle East has become central in world affairs, for the very obvious reason that it has, by far the largest and the most accessible petroleum resources— primarily in Saudi Arabia, secondarily in Iraq, and thirdly in the Gulf Emirates, and elsewhere. It is, as the State Department described it during the Second World War, when the US was taking over: "It's a stupendous source of strategic power and the greatest material prize in world history." "It's strategically the most important part of the world", as the president of Columbia University described it, as he was making his transition from Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe to supreme commander of the world— in the White House."

John McCain Is No War Hero

2008-10-21T03:45:13Z

John McCain is no war hero. In 1997 on 60 Minutes John McCain said the following. "I am a war criminal; I bombed innocent women and children".

John McCain and the American pilots like him that flew countless missions over North Vietnam rained down death on civilians and hundreds of thousands of them died. Including many children. I can't imagine why the North Vietamese would have been upset at US pilots, go figure. We torture people now for being born in a certain country and for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I can only imagine what we would do to pilots that bombed Phoenix and killed thousands of innocent women and children.

They didn’t have to be there. They didn’t have to go. The true heroes in America were the men and women that went to jail or Canada rather than participate in an immoral and illegal war, let alone the killing of innocent people that never attacked us. McCain thinks the Vietnam war was an honorable and justifiable undertaking. It was anything but.

Chomsky Applauds Gravel (Democratic Candidate for President)

2008-10-31T15:33:48Z

http://representativepress.googlepages.com/ChomskyGravel.html
Noam Chomsky applauds Senator Gravel's
past and present accomplishments

"Alone among members of Congress, Senator Mike Gravel had the courage to take a stand that not only helped bring the atrocious Indochina wars to an end, but also made a great contribution to breaking the wall of secrecy that governments erect to protect themselves from their own citizens. I am of course referring to his release of the Pentagon Papers, properly called 'the Gravel edition,' which provided the public with a unique opportunity to become educated about affairs of state.

In the years since, Gravel has continued to show the same moral integrity and courage, particularly with regard to war and aggression, the severe threat of nuclear war, the destructive impact of the military-industrial complex on American democracy, and the programs of aggressive militarism that have led even Europeans to rank the US as the greatest threat to world peace, far above Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, or other states assigned this role in the US doctrinal system. It may be that these consistent and honorable commitments are responsible for his being largely excluded from the media, even from presidential debates. And the same integrity and courage should be an inspiration for people who care about their country, the fate of its people, and its role in the world." - Noam Chomsky

How the average American came to view economics is not an accident, it didn't "just happen." How Americans see things today is very much the result of ENORMOUS propaganda campaigns.

Noam Chomsky said, "There's a big industry in the United States, on the left as well. I mean, you should see the emails I get - this huge Internet industry, from the left, trying to demonstrate that this was all faked and it was planned by the Bush Administration and so on. If you look at the evidence, anybody who knows anythings about the sciences would instantly discount that evidence."

Israel Chooses Expansion and Oppression over Security

"Well, I've felt for many years, and have written incidentally, that the people who call themselves supporters of Israel are in reality supporters of Israel's moral degeneration and probably ultimate destruction. I mean, Israel can have security. In fact, that's been true for over 30 years. It has chosen instead expansion at the cost of security.

I agree with my Israeli friends who think that the policies they are taking are extremely self-des - first of all WRONG but also self-destructive and that if they do pursue security and peace instead of expansion and oppression their prospects are very much improved." - Noam Chomsky

Israel Violates UN Security Council, Occupying Syria's Land

2008-10-17T09:30:01Z

http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2007/06/campaign-to-stop-lies-and-denial-about.html

http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2007/07/israel-violates-un-security-council.html
NOAM CHOMSKY: Israel is in control of, in fact, has annexed - in violation of Security Council orders - has annexed a large part of Syrian territory, the Golan Heights. Syria is making it very clear that they are interested in a peace settlement with Israel, which would involve, as it should, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from occupied territories.

AMY GOODMAN: Are there secret negotiations going on between Israel and Syria now?

NOAM CHOMSKY: You never know what's going on in secret, but so far Israel has been flatly refusing any negotiations. In fact, the only debate that's going on now is whether it's the United States that's pressuring Israel or Israel's pressuring the United States to prevent negotiations on the Golan Heights and, in fact, on the Occupied Territories altogether.

I mean, this is called a very contentious issue, Israel-Palestine, which is kind of surprising. It's a contentious issue only in the United States, and even not among the American population. It's a contentious issue because the US government and the Israeli government are blocking a very broad international consensus, which has almost universal support, even the majority of Americans, and which has been on the table for about thirty years, blocked by the US and Israel.

U.S. Support for Israel is a Threat to World Peace.

"Another contributing factor to this extremely dangerous amalgam is U.S. support for Israel's continued rejection of a long-standing international consensus on a political settlement for the Israel-Palestine issue, and its ongoing actions to undermine any possibility that a political settlement can be reached. Always crucially with decisive U.S. support, otherwise those actions are impossible for. For 30 years now, the U.S. has been unilaterally, and that's worth stressing, unilaterally blocking the possibility of a political settlement and providing the decisive diplomatic, economic and military means that permit the actions that step by step make any such settlement impossible. That's dramatically true right now. It's all consistently suppressed in the doctrinal system, and now of course, it's to be - if even mentioned, eliminated from history by the usual means, the convenient doctrine of change of course. Well, this has been decisive for 30 years, and it's going on, and we should pay attention to it if we care about the future." - from Noam Chomsky's speech "After the War," delivered to a packed theater at Columbia University 11/03
