beijing's presence among the stars and test the waters ahead of the country's plans for its own space station. next we get an intellectual handle on the world's biggest quandaries as prominent academic and academic i should say and philosopher noam chomsky casts his eye across the world struggling finances through to the palestinian drive for sovereignty. r.t. sitting down with for over an ounce scholar only west author and mit professor noam chomsky professor chomsky 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 as in the wall street is just a short hand to the financial institutions the banks are bigger and richer 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 blame the institutions behind them so fiscal policies like taxation and rules of corporate governance deregulation and so on those in motion a vicious cycle which is getting worse and worse in new york so walk down the streets you can see your very serious poverty and phenomenal wealth right side. of that much like a third world country what you see if you are so poor are not enough with that meanwhile infrastructure is collapsing and schools are collapsing and all of that

increases the. keeps the cycle going and rising well it's about time for some purpose what may be new 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 there we have each three hundred twenty that is the mass you know clearly much money where does it come from well you know there's a lot of it comes from financial institutions actually look at the two thousand and eight election and what's one obama what. gave him the election was permanently financial institution contributions they preferred him to mccain they expected to be paid back when they were. the next will be even worse and certainly that's only a part of it parliamentary systems including our own up to or maybe twenty years

ago. positions of influence and functioning part of a parliamentary system chair of a committee. comes from principle at least from experience seniority. legislative contributions and so on that's gone the other bought if you if you want to become chair of the committee. in the house or the senate you have to pay off the party to pay for it where do you get the money to pay for it so in pockets you don't so. provides even more influence to the already overwhelming fluence of concentrated little so it's harder and harder to distinguish between the elected officials and. economic concentration it never was easy to distinguish issues with this is not something novel but now it's reaching extreme level but what's left of

america's democratic system if this is the process that has been cemented in plates and what is really left from every angle there's these very nicely we 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 you have it's going to happen now but it means that the system as it were. and the public knows that. the popularity of favor ability rating for congress and single digits or president not much higher in the same month across all other institutions there'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. levels to which the u.s. 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 us on that laudanum interesting case it was done. in such a way as to in your ear the pakistanis which is extremely dangerous that's the most thing just country in the world and 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 at the invasion of

the country and the murder of someone of their soil but also that they're being. pressured to take part in an american war in afghanistan some of the conservatives military atlast soon wrote about the bin laden assassination i quoted some of them pointed out quite accurately that this. between bush's policies and obama's about this bush bush's policy was to kidnap people. whatever you thought about them. take them to guantanamo or bagram or some other torture chamber. extract some information out of them we know what it was like to describe it obama supporters just kill. killing them all over the world targeted assassination and you know and kidnap them and torture them they're still in. the bin laden

assessor's it 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 he's proven guilty until then he's a suspect he's innocent until proven guilty. 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 the feds. highly trained commandos could certainly didn't 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. 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 supported the libyans in the so-called arab spring the palestinians have officially submitted an application for un membership and statehood the us says that they will cast a veto against it if they do because they believe that their record will she should take place between palestine and israel before. first of all i have to make a qualification the united states and its western allies did not support the egyptian too noisy and revolutions they opposed them. back to then in turn as it was mostly france and fix the united states they supported the dictators until the last minute and when the army turned against them it was no longer possible to support them then they said ok what democracy is wonderful and then they moved to try to ensure that the regimes would stay pretty much as they

were and sights of the very old pattern but putting that aside it's true that the united states announced that it would cost of the. thirty five years the united states and israel have been rejecting a political settlement that are 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 the fact that egypt right now and turkey have really suffered their relations with israel 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 is getting more isolated meaning the us is getting four isolated for example a couple months ago there was a meeting of the the all the gore people are pretty much on the economy they've

been warned the government that they'd better except 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. to if you look back at the. history but about one hundred sixteen we have the records of south african foreign minister called and 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 corporations were pulling out the. sanctions or whatever. 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. withdrew support almost instantly apartheid collapsed saying it's israel's best interest the us still allow this palestinian un membership. for thirty five years the same scenario which a mystery 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 prefer for since the early seventy's it's had a choice between security and expansion and 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 toenails of the

masters so they go along 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 statehood and go back to negotiations with that's where we now stand and it's up to the people danced in. campoli woman. professor chomsky thank you very much for your time. wealthy british scientists on some time to.
