040302 Noam Chomsky - The Doctrine of Change of Course

Great powers have always played cat and mouse games. The game is played to fool the target audience, the domestic population. Rulers cloak their motives behind some exalted principle. So the propaganda machinery churns out words and terms of mass deception. Perennial favourites are liberation, democracy, open markets, the national interest, self-defence and freedom. When they become too hackneyed then new ones are invented like weapons of mass destruction. The US always invades countries in self-defence. As Orwell, says, "War is Peace." The US claims that it is different from previous empires, that it is morally superior. But few outside the country believe that. To carry out their agenda, states need an obedient citizenry. Don't ask too many questions. Watch TV, pay your taxes and march to war.

Noam Chomsky, internationally renowned MIT professor, practically invented modern linguistics. In addition to his pioneering work in that field he has been a leading voice for peace and social justice. He is in such demand as a public speaker that he is booked years in advance. And wherever he appears, he draws huge audiences. The Independent calls him, "The conscience of the American people." He is the author of scores including the bestseller Hegemony or Survival.
