"Campaign funding is a remarkable predictor of election, and also of policy," says linguist and political activist Noam Chomsky. He asserts that the Supreme Court is currently considering a lawsuit that would allow corporations to "buy elections directly, instead of indirectly."

World-renowned intellectual Noam Chomsky has been pushing change in language, politics and culture for decades. The controversial expert on modern language explains why "the smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." - Commonwealth Club of California
Noam Chomsky, a professor of linguistics and philosophy at MIT, is the author of numerous books on U.S. foreign policy, including American Power and the New Mandarins, Political Economy of Human Rights (two volumes, written with Edward Herman), Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinians, and Pirates and Emperors, Old and New: International Terrorism in the Real World. His most recent books are Failed States and Perilous Power.

I don't think it would be effective to directly attack the Big Money/Big Corporations. Like Chomsky says, these kinds of "people" can always find loopholes. We need to "attack" their tools. These are the people in Congress--and the Executive branch--who allow Big Money to get their way. We need to hold our elected representatives to a fair and honest ethics standard, one that can't be swept under the rug. Bottom line: this will mean prison for some prominent members of government. So be it.
I think the issue of imigrants isnt that they arent humans, but rather not citizens. They are denied HC because they are here illegally. Of course this wouldnt be the case if we had an open border policy (not that i think this is a good idea). What does a civilized society mean? That anyone who wants HC gets it? Thats a great notion, but logistically is very flawed. In some cases one might say impossible.
Conference of Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Non-Aligned Countries held at Lima from 25 to 30 August 1975, which most severely condemned Zionism as a threat to world peace and security and called upon all countries to oppose this racist and imperalist ideology,
DETERMINES that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination.
only after fall of USSR and US remained the sole superpower of the world, this resolution was denounced... on the dawn of the neo-con aggression. if zionism isn't racism so wasn't nazism. if israelis aren't violating human rights so weren't the nazis. one can't denounce one and embrace the other without fully taking on the burden of hypocrisy.
the resolution was denounced when it was brought forth to the UN. I believe it was in the mid 70's. And I hope your mind isn't diluted enough to actually compare the Israeli Palestinian situation to what the Nazis did. The Nazis had labor camps, mass executions, and starved people to death. To even make the comparison is ignorance in its purist form. I would like to challenge you to explain how Zionism is racism. I never hear you people cry racism when any other ethnic group wants a homeland.
for the last fucking time that I spend on schooling your ignorant ass... United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379 adopted on November 10, 1975 by a vote of 72 to 35 (with 32 abstentions), "determine[d] that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination".
nazis and israelis are directly comparable at the core. of course you can only do so much without losing all international support as this is the 21st century but there are more similarities than differences between the two...
I know all about the resolution my friend. I also know it was denounced and I think its complete rubbish. If I recall there was a court decision in the US called Dred Scott. That ruling was complete rubbish also. The UN is not the moral authority on all matters. So answer me, how is Zionism racist? And how are the Israelis anything like the Nazis. You keep making claims with no explanation. By the way the 70's were before the fall of the USSR. I happen to think radical Islam is close to Nazism.

Obama is for the people.

btw this is the last time I respond as you clearly have no intentions on arguing the matter at hand with facts.
