Harold Pinter: US is a bloodthirsty wild animal

[vladapablo]

I am always stunned how people on the west easy accept everything what they hear or see on TV. Do you people even think that is possible that you don't get right version of events? You are so blinded with belief that your media are "free'' and democratic and they report you the ''truth".

Wherever US an their allies have some geostrategic goals to achieve,first they apply strong propaganda at home to present their enemies like dictators, terrorists, butchers,anti-democratic and so on. 

[vladapablo]

@vladapablo In this way public opinion is mold in favor of goals they want to achieve.

Whatever is different from picture they want you to see,this is not going to get through and on the west media you are not going to hear other side of the story. For example on the west everybody knows about Srebrenica, but no body knows that Srebrenica meant to be demilitarized zone for Bosniaks people during the war in Bosnia. But this zone actually never was demilitarized and Bosniak para-military went

[vladapablo]

@vladapablo from Srebrenica to surrounding Serbian villages and killed thousands (from 3000 to 5000) Serbian civilians. What happen in Srebrenica came after that. But you people on the west of course didn't hear anything about this version of event.

You heard only version which fits interests of US and their allies.

This is just a one example. It is same about Libya, about Afghanistan,Iraq and Iran. Western governments have to persuade their public that they are doing "noble'' thing by

[vladapablo]

@vladapablo invading other country to prevent war crimes an genocide. Because of that they have to present leaders and nations like no humans,blood lasting animals, no civilized to receive blessing for intervention.Have this on your mind every time when your politicians preaching about "humanitarian goals'' they want to achieve by invading other countries.

Pinter was so overwhelmed by leftist self-loathing and hatred from the US that he supported Milosevic's Serbian goons when there were out slaughtering Bosniaks by the thousands. And he has the gall to get all self-righteous about US foreign policy? You can trot out all the clichés you like - you're just another powerless ranting fool with no coherent understanding of international relations.

[Strefanasha]

America a wild beast? of course it is. But

America is as a rule so utterly deluded in its self righteousbess as to think that it is a last bstion ofliberty etc.

note: the very first question this interviewer asks: " ARE YOU MORE ANGRY??"

a loaded question designed to put anything pinter says as being a subjective and self indulgent emotional spasm.

I admired America once. NO MORE

[flimpkin4]

The interviewer was subsequently proven wrong on his key facts. And I was struck by the speed with which he changed the subject when Pinter mentioned Izreel! Another zie-o-nist freak, I suspect.

I thought the interviewer did his job very well. I admire Pinter very much but, it's fair to say, he was on the ropes at times here.
