hours and test the waters ahead of its plans for its very own space station. next week get an intellectual handle on the world's biggest quandaries as prominent academic and philosopher no chomsky casts desire across the world struggling finances through the to the palestinian drive for sovereignty that's next. 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
12:32 pm
called them courageous and honorable you can you talk to me about your take on occupy wall street well as in the wall street in just a short him to the financial institutions the banks are bigger and richer than 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 but when it comes to this information hina so fiscal policies like taxation the rules of corporate governance deregulation and so on it does 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
12:33 pm
increases the. keeps the cycle going and in fact 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 us election in two thousand and twelve will exceed one billion dollar each three hundred twenty that is a massive you know could be much much higher than that where does that come from well you know a lot of it comes from financial institutions like you look at the two thousand and eight election and what swung obama or what gave him the election was primarily financial institution contributions they preferred him to mckinnon 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 to it maybe twenty years
12:34 pm
ago. positions of influence in a functioning part of a parliamentary system what's the care of a committee. comes from principle at least from experience in your already. legislative contributions and so on that's gone now there bought if you if you want to become chair of the committee. in the house of the senate you have to pay off the party have to pay for it and where do you get the money to pay for the same pocket you don't so. provides even more influence to the your already overwhelming fluence 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
12:35 pm
has been cemented in place and what is really left if from every angle there's these very night and sleep for 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. without 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 digits 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
12:36 pm
extreme. the levels to which the u.s. has departed from other top of the 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 ladin 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 and go into it but you have a professional army committed to the sovereignty of pakistan pakistanis were already overwhelmingly the american this shoots through the stratosphere the army is bitterly angry not only at the invasion of
12:37 pm
the country and the murder of someone on their soil but also that they're being pressured forced to take part in an american war in afghanistan some of the conservative military have a list soon wrote about the bin ladin 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 policy was to kidnap people. whatever you thought about them. take them to guantanamo or bob graham 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 now is target of assassination attempt and you know to kidnap them and torture him just kill him. in the bin laden assassination was a case in point it's hard to remember but there used to be
12:38 pm
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 one night you just kill him if you think they're guilty so he was apprehended. no resistance he was alone with his wife but a defense 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 to increase and. the hatred throughout the muslim world and when anybody has got their eyes open you talk about the obama administration and how the u.s. 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
12:39 pm
supported the libyans and the so-called arab spring the palestinians have officially submitted an application for u.n. membership and statehood the u.s. says that they will cast if you go against it they do because they believe that the record go shisha should take place between house and israel before there's an independent palestine or first of all i have to make a qualification of the united states and its western allies did not support the egyptian two museum revolutions they opposed them they said they backed the internet as it was mostly france steer kone fix going to do with 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 and so it's
12:40 pm
a very old pattern but putting that aside it's true that the united states announced that it would cast of the progress 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 except that the united states and israel let it happen haven't the fact that egypt right now and turkey have really covered their relations it's really see that's an effect of the arab spring 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 who are isolated for example a couple months ago there was a meeting of the the oligarchy people pretty much on the economy they warned the
12:41 pm
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 too much to it so. if you look back at the history by about one hundred sixty we have the record 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 how it worked out 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 nothing happened then the u.s.
12:42 pm
withdrew support. almost instantly apartheid collapsed saying it's in israel's best interest and the us still allowed this palestinian un membership with a foot for thirty five years the sense in which a murderer 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 for since the 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 cowardly 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
12:43 pm
they picked tony blair you know i don't have to comment on him but then and i will 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 their governments to go along with the world the rest chomsky thank you very much for your time you. very first verses of the bible to all human beings. created but sentimental came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or god. sixty to seventy percent of what i did as a combat soldier in the occupied territories was to do with the turds doing what we
