and philosopher noam chomsky our he's a marine important i have spoke with the a renowned political activist about the world's most recent development stay with us. r.t. sitting down with for over an ounce scholar only west author and mit professor noam chomsky professor thompson thank you very much for taking time to speak with r.t. glad to be with you the first issue i want to speak with you about is the recent clashes that have taken place on wall street between americans who are turning out to demonstrate and police officers from what i read you recently sent a message to support the activists of this group called occupy wall street you've called them courageous and honorable you can you talk to me about your take on occupy wall street well seeing that wall street is just a short and to the financial institutions the banks are bigger really true than

before corporate profits are reaching record levels for much of unemployment about the level of the great depression real unemployment these people are saying you know let's play a clip here from behind them so fiscal policies like taxation. rules of corporate governance deregulation and so on those doing motion a vicious cycle which is getting worse and worse in new york so the walk down the streets you can see you really serious poverty you have some nominal wealth right side. of the much like sort of world country where you see if so there are enough with that meanwhile infrastructure is collapsing schools are collapsing. all of that increases the. keeps the cycle going and rising well it's about time for some protest what may be in there in the coming year for the

twenty twelve election is that many including yourself have speculated and assume that campaign spending for the u.s. election two thousand and twelve. well exceed one billion dollars each for having kennedy that isn't mass you know clearly very much michael where does it come from well you know there's a lot of it comes from financial institutions like you look at the two thousand and eight election what's one obama what. gave him the election was primarily financial institution contributions they preferred him to mccain they expected to be paid back when they were. on the next will be even worse and certainly that's one part of it in parliamentary systems including our own too old maybe twenty years ago. positions of influence in a functioning part of a parliamentary system what's the chair of a committee. comes from principle at least from experience seniority.

legislative contributions and so on that's gone now they are bought if you if you want to become chair of a committee. in the house or the senate you have to pay off the party have to pay for it where do you get the money to pay for the same pocket you don't so. provides even more influence to the already overwhelming flints of concentrated capital so it's harder and harder to distinguish between the elected officials and. economic concentration it never was easy to distinguish i should say this is not something novel but now it's sort of reaching the extreme level what's left of america's democratic system if this is the process that has been cemented in plates and what is really left if from every angle there's these very insulated from just take a look at public opinion they'll tell you. about two thirds of the public thinks

the entire congress ought to be thrown out. but that doesn't mean you have it's going to happen no but it means that the system isn't working and the public knows it. the popularity of favor ability rating for congress and single digit president not much higher in the same month across all other institutions it's a very widespread sense that everything is going wrong that tells you the democrat . system is just not functioning now in fact i don't want to suggest that this is totally new so you go back a century and you can still predict throughout all this period pretty well the outcome of elections by campaign funding but there are degrees now it's gotten extreme. the levels to which the us has departed from other capitalist societies are pretty remarkable you released a book recently. called nine eleven was there an alternative focusing on the us

assassination of osama bin laden and that continuity you say between george w. bush and barack obama the killing of us on that laudanum interesting case it was done in such a way as to in syria the pakistanis which is extremely dangerous and it's the most dangerous country in the world go into it but you have a professional army committed to the sovereignty of pakistan the pakistanis were already overwhelmingly american this shoots through the stratosphere the army is bitterly angry not only a clean invasion of the country and the murder of someone of their soil but also that they're being. pressure forced to take part in an american war in afghanistan

some of the conservative military analysts who wrote about the bin laden assess nation i quoted some of them pointed out quite accurately that there's a shift between bush's policies and obama's and this bush bush's policy was to kidnap people. whatever you thought about them. take them to one ton of moer bug rum or some other torture chamber and try to extract some information out of them we know what it was like to describe it obama's policy is just to kill. killing them all over the world targeted assassination and you know to kidnap them and torture and kill them. bloodless as a nation was a case in point it's hard to remember but there used to be a system of justice in the west which said that a person is a suspect until it is proven guilty until then he's a suspect he's innocent until proven guilty well that's one now you just kill him

if you think they're guilty so he was apprehended. no resistance he was alone with his ways but the feds nothing. highly trained commandos could certainly have a free hand didn't they didn't they were under orders to murder and. toss this body into the ocean acts that are almost designed such a way as to increase. hatred throughout the muslim world and when anybody has got their eyes open you talk about the obama administration and how the us actually is right now could be infuriating the muslim world the arab world the obama administration has supported the tunisians has supported the egyptians has supported the libyans and the so-called arab spring the palestinians have officially submitted an application for a un membership at statehood the us says that they will cast it will go against it

if they have to because they believe that the record low shisha should take place between house and israel before there's an independent palestine first of all have to make a go of creation of the united states and its western allies did not support the egyptian to newseum revolution to oppose them. back to them in turn as it was mostly france silicone to fix go on in egypt which the united states and britain which supported the dictators into a ball last minute when. the army turned against them and it was no longer possible to support them then they said ok one democracy is wonderful and then they move to try to ensure that the regimes would stay pretty much as they were and cites a very old pattern but putting that aside it's true that the united states. that it would cast of the for about thirty five years the united states and israel have

been rejecting a political settlement that is supported by virtually the entire world the arab league the organization of islamic states which includes iran and hamas supports it almost no relevant party disagrees with it except that the united states and israel won't let it happen having the fact that egypt right now and turkey have really suffered their relation to israel so that's an effect of the arab spring what that what's happening there are changes in the world what's happening is israel is getting former isolated i mean the u.s. is getting who are isolated for example a couple months ago there was a meeting of the the all the gore people pretty much on the economy they've they've warned the government that they better accept something like this resolution because that is it otherwise israel will be as they put it south african iced even more isolated boycotts refusal of ships and so on and our economy will collapse now

it's interesting that israel is reacting crowdsource or whatever to do if you look back at the history but about nine hundred sixteen we have the records of south african foreign minister called in the american ambassador described this to him and said we don't really care as long as you back us because you're the one that matters and that's how it worked out right through the nineteen by the one nine hundred eighty s. you when. you went to barca the corporations were pulling out. the. sanctions were all over. they were doing fine. the reagan administration was backing them. as long as the us was supporting them nothing happened then the us withdrew support almost instantly apartheid collapsed saying it's in israel's best interest and the us still allow this palestinian un membership to stay with us for thirty five years

the sensory chamber is now that it's been for almost forty years there's a choice between security and expansion very clear choice israel is like other states is preferred for since the early seventy's it's had a choice between security and expansion and have to use but not with expansion into the territories which incidentally is recognized to be criminal but everyone including israel. they can get away with it as long as the most powerful state in the world backs them and as long as europe goes along and europe is remarkably tolerantly them out like this but they don't like to step on the pony and also the masters so they go along so you know it's the court that has backed the united states they picked tony blair you know i don't have to comment on him but then i might as well pick george bush to. bring the message you do what the united states

tells you to stop this nonsense about statehood and go back to negotiations which that's where we now stand and it's up to the people that just industrial countries to compel the government to go along with the world professor chomsky thank you very much for your time. the eat. the unlimited to susie. six or.

match at the rugby world cup when they take on a strain in melson on saturday our correspondent richard portly caught up with one player who is certainly up to his reputation in new zealand constantine rushkoff despite vets of the flyhalf now find himself without a club. constantin rushkoff has been on the move for most of his life born in kazakhstan he would move to rush hour in his early teens to continue his rugby development before departing for france after the turn of the millennium. he took up the sport to be age of twelve however things could have been very different for the thirty two year old had taken different career path as he used to be tennis number one. i thought it would take a lot of time to get to the top in tennis as those time goes by the champions are getting younger and younger the money in tennis is a lot of this world in comparison to rugby but i've never regretted my decision

because constantine has been playing for the last decade in france and once played with fellow russian veteran of however over the last couple of years as a member of a massive a tirade team which included one of world rugby his most famous ever player is. full i was very lucky to end up at the same club as john a little more i wasn't very lucky that he decided to quit the game not long after i joined he had a lot of injuries and health problems he's now taken up walks in and wants to compete at a professional level but unfortunately i don't think he will ever return to the rugby pitch i know him and he's one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet producers and. constantin had been enjoying his first ever world cup up until he received some very bad news a couple of days ago he was released from our save as the french club ran into financial difficulties a decision which came as

a massive shock to him and now he's looking for a new team to play for preferably in europe. definitely want to keep on playing and i'm studying for a degree of the moment for life after rugby but i would like to find a new club and have no intention of hanging up my boots for at least the next three years it's a tough time of the moment for consent. he's one of the more respected members of the russian squads and after being constantly moving from one place to the next since his early teens the thirty two year old would like nothing more than to see out the remainder of his playing career in europe and a good display against australia could certainly help him to put himself in the shop window for potential suitors richard pombo three donte euro to new zealand. more sport in a couple hours sounds all forget so check out our youtube channel at our team sport use thanks for watching and.
