As a student of Political Science this sadly is not shocking to me.  It is almost like my university is preparing me to be in the political elites...not where I want to be. It makes me sick to sit in class and listen to my classmates go along with everything they are fed by the professors. They get angry at me when I speak the truth. :(

Chomsky is my hero.

Maybe I'm not the only one who's had this experience, but once the bubble of the dominant ideology was burst, the ideas of Chomsky are simple to understand. The real effort was bursting the bubble.

@activist180 sorry to hear that......at my university i have noticed the opposite....in fact the last two courses have surprised me because the profs were trying hard to open the eyes of the students to this sort of thing...chomsky, hunter thompson, ect ect.....last one even encouraged us to go home and check out the zetgeist film lol

KUDOS-The bit with the fake doctors cutting out print that isn't "POLITICALLY CORRECT" is rather clever.

@activist180 well you are being prepared to be part of the elite and not to truly want to change anything, or thats my general opinion on academics as it is today. I myself found most academics I went through myself very disempowering in line with my political ideals

Today, Palestine is being oppressed.

In order to change the system one has to become part of it.

If you do not agree with them, do not become the outcast they want you to be.

A day will come when what you decide will be worth your silence.

@activist180 I'm in the same situation. My professors talk about what a "great thing" Free-Trade Econ is and how they just cant wait to have some MInority Report Orwellian state that "protects" all of us. These are people with Doctorates spouting this garbage to stupid kids who just applaud this as "reasonable" all day long. It's horrible. I sympathize.

@activist180 keep going

@activist180 keep talking. :)

journalism is just dead in this is country; 9-11 proves that1 A nearly 2 year study (headed by Niels Harrit from Copenhagen University) is conducted by 9 scientists who, in 2009, release and publish a peer-reviewed paper that details the uncovering a high-tech thermitic explosive in the WTC dust and not a peep from the Times? For shame!

Thank goodness for indie news and sites like Project Censored.
