turned the villagers against the americans and had not succeeded because the only thing they knew about america was when he told them he was. here he's like that here we're back to what it was like he said and one drone strike turned the entire village against the americans that's. maybe a couple hundred new people who will call terrorists if they take revenge it's a turd generating machine it's a terror it's a terrorist operation and a terrorist generating machine so it goes on and. it's not just the drone strikes also the special forces and so on well that was right at the time of the boston marathon and it's just one of a number of all cases but why are people so easy to accept conventional wisdom government narrative and with virtually no questioning when you hear a drumbeat of conventional. propaganda in my view and i take that research project to find other things that there are other cases where. which come to mind right
2:45 pm
away or should we or a person is murder who could easily be apprehended. with severe consequences the most famous one was. bin laden but it would be a. little forced to me maybe to. convey that i could stand broke in his compound killed the people that captured him he was defenseless i think his wife was with him but to them. under instructions they just murdered him so it was body into the ocean. without. that that's only the beginning the seals were under orders to fight their way out if they were caught well suppose suppose luckily it didn't happen but it was a very close i just think what was at stake. the head of the.

pax pakistan has a well trained army loyal to the state defending states over the plenty of nuclear weapons they were the army chief of staff was notified that there had been planes intruding into pakistani airspace he assumed it was an indian attack they're going to have it war with india but they mobilize their forces to go after whoever it was at the same time. david petraeus the commander in kabul had ordered u.s. . air forces to scramble to mobilize in case there was any need to extricate the seals. that could easily lead to a war in fact a nuclear war so they were playing a game with possible nuclear war in order to murder somebody who they could have apprehended and that's only the beginning how did they find out where he was well
2:47 pm
it turns out that trick that was used was a cia run fake like some a. period of about the you. know that's what he was. trying to get information about. that's a violation of principles that go back to when the credit goes and i sponsor it's first of all they cut the vaccination program off in the middle when they found it was somewhere else another one but in much in pakistan and in fact much of the third world there's a lot of concern about. foreign white people who come in and stick needles into your arms and what are they up to they've got enough history to be wary well now they have reason to be wary of these white people with the needles are trying to find some with a murderer. and what happened is what you'd expect there were abductions of.
2:48 pm
un polio workers were. several of them were murdered but the un had to pull its whole team. pakistan is one of the last places. where it's kind of in. effect could if you like small. places where. there's and there's the polio you know. respect. for us or colombia specialist. public filled. with roberts estimated the whole would be about one hundred thousand because it was heal so that. sooner or later somebody is going to point to this child wheelchair or tell the americans you did this to. and then you get more people who we call purse
2:49 pm
you know just the media's lack of coverage with everything that you're speaking on and i know that america runs on this nationalism in american exceptionalism but is america's severe lack of empathy unique or do we see this in every country and are we just growing up in america and we just you know are isolated with our own viewpoint i think that's true of. every group that i can think of britain was the city for instance and germany was less a country is defeated when germany was defeated in the second world war. i was compelled put to be atrocities that carried out but others don't of course reagan the school of americas do you think i will ever see white war criminals funded from an imperialist nation stand trial in the same way videos mounted almost impossible take a look at the i.c.c. international criminal court black africans or other people the west doesn't like
2:50 pm
them and bush and blair would be right up there there's no crime reason a crime worse than the invasion of iraq. obama would be there for the war but these it's just conceivable in fact there's legislation in the states which in europe is called the netherlands invasion. by congressional legislation but the president authorizes the president to use force to rescue any american brought to the hague for trial. this is. a speaking of the drone wars i can't help but think of john bellinger the chief architect of the drone policy who was speaking to a think tank recently and he said that obama's ramped up the drone killings simply to avoid the bad press of getting out of capturing suspects alive and trying to get now when you hear things like this what is your response to people who say his
2:51 pm
hands are tied he wants to do well. that's i too was pointed out some time ago but will street journal military correspondent what he pointed out is that bush is technique was to. capture people and torture them. obama's improved you just kill them and anybody else around. it's not that it's hansard he said i mean that's a much more. it's bad enough to capture them and torture them but just. murder on executive whim and as i say it's not just murder of the suspect there are weapons there are as everyone else it's not that anyone's hansard that's what he wants to do let's talk about the one with sticks and language of the war on terror what it obama's rebranding of bush administration policies did a public consciousness of the the policy of murdering people instead of capturing them and torturing them. can be presented to the public in
2:52 pm
a way that makes it look clean it's presented and i think most people see it this way as it out of. a surgical strike which goes after people who are planning to do us harm. and this is a very frightened country terrified country has been for a long time so if anybody's going to do us harm it's fun for us to kill them and some of the reactions are how this is interpreted is quite interesting for example that was the case about a year or two ago when a drone attack in yemen killed a couple of little girls and that was a discussion with. a well known liberal columnist joe klein. time and he was asked what he thought of it is and he said something like. it's better that four of them are killed than four of four little girls here.
2:53 pm
so because even the logic is mind boggling but if we have to kill people elsewhere who might conceivably. have to harm us and it happens a couple little girls get killed too that's fine we're entitled to do that i mean suppose any other country was doing that us or to any anyone we regard as human. it's. credible but this is very common and i remember once when right after the invasion of iraq thomas friedman your middle east specialist columnist was interviewed on the charlie rose show you know sort of intellectuals through the disco and he was asked what we ought to be doing in iraq. i wish i could. see the actual words to grasp but basically
2:54 pm
what it was when he said something like this he said. american troops want to smash . the houses. and make people understand that it will terrorism. as it would suck on this we're not allowed to terrorism in our society you better understand it so these terrorized women and children. have to be. humiliated and degraded and frightened so that because so that it won't attack us i mean it's mind boggling and that's the peak of the liberal intellectual cultures thank you so much dr chomsky amazing to set in front of you
2:55 pm
