WHAT'S NEW ABOUT OBAMA?

Remember, the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX" speech?

The problem with healthcare is CORPORATION, not privatization. Once a group of doctors and their facility goes public, then government criminals at the behest of the Debt Syndicate speculate into their healthcare market by intervention into the insurance market with unlimited leverage of irredeemable debt currency. Huge gangster insurance crews loot out public hospitals and healthcare professional incomes, tripling the cost while destroying the lives of people talented & trained in healing.

Noam Chomsky destroys all the false dichotomies that we perpetuate in the popular media so handily that it makes one wonder how anyone buys into the bullshit. I love his response to the question; "would you have let the CitiBank, etc... fail? His response, "well there are other options", seems to be something no one on CNN, FOX, or MSNBC ever considered.

Through out human history, empires rise by looting & enslaving as many nations as they can master & empires fall due to internal conflict of interest, corruption, greed, mismanagement & powerful global competitive resistance.

The rules of the game use to be prescribed & manipulated by very few empires, until nations of little significance seek, assert & confirm their share of interest by any means necessary. The rise of China's global market share could be a very good example to consider.

It's about god damn mother fucking time someone else said it. Good man, good mother fucking man. You better be taking, I'll take from you if I can.

I'll say it again. America is an Empire, the most successful in history. It's what Rome would have been with no border enemies if it had given smallpox blankets to every Gaul, Norman, Saxon, Arab, and Egyptian.

[BahreNeGash]

Haven't you heard of the term, "everybody for his own".

Just like the animal world's, "survival of the fittest", nations are created, sustained & maintained by eliminating & decimating the defenseless for the gains of the powerful.

Therefore, the notion that a "civilized nation" is formed to serve & protect it's citizens is nothing more than a marketing skim & "empty promises".

Just imagine, "how many millions of lives has been ELIMINATED & lost for you to have a nation"?

private profit, public losses, gotta love fascism.

Its a sad fact most chomsky videos here on pootube dont have many view numbers.

[agitcam]

Its a sad fact that the poo is between your ears.

Younger folks have been brainwashed by their activist cults to forget about the past, particularly the more intellectual activists. Chomsky is on that Libertarian shit list.

[yearight1970]

the real truth is depressing

[erby1kabogey9]

and sorely lacking in the mainstream dialogue

[chumashfalcon]

one of the only people smart enough to see the big picture and explain it to the rest of us
