Mumia Abu-Jamal -- Chomsky Columnist Without A Place?

"The point of public relations slogans like "Support our troops" is that they don't mean anything... That's the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody's going to be against, and everybody's going to be for. Nobody knows what it means, because it doesn't mean anything. Its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support our policy? That's the one you're not allowed to talk about."

Noam Chomsky

"The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy."

> ... "land of the free" ...

har har har - free capital, yeah, but as to people: sometime in the 1980s the U$A 'supassed' RSA and USSR and since then has had the world's highest (and one of the most racist) incarceration-rates (and thus is implementing a form of apartheid)

Mumia showers himsef with information then provides us with his opinion.

You have managed to do the same, minus the facts par

[immortaltechpt]

You should look for the people on your government. They're the ones who look like "cab drivers".

[nickd9678]

Yeah....a linguistics professor and a cab driver are now both experts on foreing policy. Mumia so dumb you could put him in the back seat of a car and he would think somebody stole the steering wheel.
