along with stalls and test the water is ahead of beijing plans for its own space station. to get an intellectual handle on the world's biggest quandaries as prominent academic and philosopher. calls his eye across the world struggling finances through the palestinian dreyfus. r t sitting down with for over an ounce scholar at linguist author and mit professor noam chomsky professor chomsky thank you very much for taking time to speak of 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
8:32 am
occupy wall street wells in the wall street just a short him through the financial institutions the banks are bigger than richard before a corporate profits are retreating record levels for much of unemployment is about the level of the great depression real unemployment these people are saying no let's let him come in from behind so fiscal policies like taxation and rules of corporate governance deregulation and so on was set in motion a vicious cycle which is getting worse and worse in new york so walk down the streets you can see it very serious poverty on the other hand phenomenal wealth right side by side the much like a third world country what you see if you go to so if there are enough with it meanwhile infrastructure is collapsing and schools are collapsing and all of that increases the. keeps the cycle going and like rising well
8:33 am
it's about time for some protest what may be in there in the coming year for the two thousand and 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 that we had for each friend to keep tidy that is that mass will clearly be much brighter than that where does that come from well you know basically a lot of it comes from financial institutions but if 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 macand expected to be paid back when they were. on the next will be even worse and certainly that's only a part of it in parliamentary systems including our own up till maybe twenty years ago. positions of influence in a functioning part of
8:34 am
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're bought if you if you want to become chair of a committee. in the house of the senate you have to pay off the party have to pay for it where do you get the money to pay for it sam pocket you don't so. provides even more influence to the your 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 but what's left of america's democratic system if this is the process that has been cemented in place
8:35 am
and what is really left if from every angle there's these very nicely just take a look at public opinion they'll tell you. about two thirds of the public thinks the entire congress would be thrown out. but that doesn't mean that 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 democratic 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 and now it's gotten extreme but the levels to which the u.s.
8:36 am
has departed from other capitalist societies are pretty remarkable you released a book recently. called nine eleven was there an alternative focusing on the u.s. assassination of osama bin laden and that continuity you say between george w. bush and barack obama. the killing of osama bin laden is an interesting case it was done in such a way as to infuriate the pakistanis which is extremely dangerous that's the most dangerous country in the world go into it. they have a professional army committed to the sovereignty of pakistan pakistanis were already overwhelmingly anti american this shoots through the stratosphere the army is bitterly angry not only at the invasion of a country and murder someone on their soil but also that they're being pressured or
8:37 am
forced to take part in an american war in afghanistan some of the conservative military analyst who wrote about the bin laden assassination i quoted some of them pointed out quite accurately that the shift between bush's policies and obama's on this bush bush's policy was to kidnap people. whatever you thought about them. take them to guantanamo bagram or some other torture chamber and. extract some information out of them we know what that was like describe it obama's cause is just kill. killing them all over the world now is targeted assassination camp and you want to kidnap them and torture him just kill him. the blood necessitates it was a case in point it's hard to remember but there used to be
8:38 am
a system of justice in the west which said that a person is a suspect until he's proven guilty of until then he's a suspect he's innocent until proven guilty well that's gone now you just kill him if you think they're guilty so he was apprehended. no resistance he was alone with his wife but the feds nothing. highly trained commandos could certainly have apprehended him and they didn't they were under orders to murder him and then toss his body into the ocean acts that are almost designed such a way as to increase her and. 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
8:39 am
palestinians have officially submitted an application for un membership and statehood the us says that they will cast if you go against it if they do because they believe that the record low shisha should take place between house and israel before there's an independent palestine first of all i have to make a qualification of the united states and its western allies did not support the egyptian museum revolutions they opposed them they said they back to them and to me as it was mostly france they are calling me fix going in egypt was the united states and britain they supported the dictators until the last minute and when. the army turned against them and it was no longer possible to support them then they said ok we want democracy is wonderful and then they moved to try to ensure that the regimes would stay pretty much as they were in sight a very old pattern but putting that aside it's true that the united states
8:40 am
announced that it would cast of the progress thirty five years of 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 except that the united states and israel let it happen haven't the fact that egypt right now and turkey have really sever their relations it's really see that's an effect of the arab spring what that what's happening there are changes in the world what's happening is israel's getting harm or isolated meaning the u.s. is getting four more isolated for example a couple months ago there was a meeting of the the oligarchy people pretty much on the economy they warned the government that they better accept something like this resolution because that is
8:41 am
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 pretty much the way so. if you look back at the history but about nine hundred sixty we have the records south african foreign minister called in the american ambassador described this to and said we don't really care as long as you back us because you're the one who matters and that's worked right through the one thousand nine hundred eighty s. u.n. border u.n. embargo corporations were pulling out. sanctions were all over boycotts they were doing fine. the reagan administration was backing them. as long as the u.s. was supporting them and nothing happened then the u.s. withdrew support almost instantly apartheid collapsed they're saying it's in
8:42 am
israel's best interest and the u.s. still allowed this palestinian un membership saying look i thought for thirty five years that the sensor in the chamber is now that it's been for almost forty years there's a choice between security and expansion a very clear choice israel is like other states is preferred and it has since your early seventy's it's had a choice between security and expansion can have peace 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 opponent also the masters so they go along so you know it's the quartet has backed the united states
8:43 am
they picked tony blair you know i don't have to comment on him but then i might as well think george bush to. bring the message to do what the united states tells you to stop this nonsense about statehood and go back to negotiations with that's where we now stand and it's up to the people then just industrial countries to compel the governments to go along with the world the rest chomsky thank you very much for your time. please.
