Another Reality Check. . .

Even I Didn’t Realize How Close Our Economic Collapse Is...

Chomsky on the Rise of the South an interview by Michael Shank at Foreign Policy In Focus - “Noam Chomsky is a noted linguist, author, and foreign policy expert.  On January 15, Michael Shank interviewed him on the latest developments in U.S. policy toward regional challenges to U.S. power.  In the second part of this two-part interview, Chomsky also discussed the Bank of the South, nationalization of resources, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.”  [ link to the original here. ]

Every time I read, listen, or watch Chomsky, I realize I’ve witnessed a knowledgeable reality-based perspective that I didn't have before, even though I do consider myself well informed on our nation’s foreign policy. I actively research the internet every day for the current socio-political happenings worldwide, as much for myself, as for my web site’s and blog’s content...  But Chomsky never fails to inform me of perspective I simply had failed to put together, just as you may not have either. This interview is well worth anyone’s time, I only hope it helps you as much as it did me. Knowledge is power, but sometimes... it’s just scary. . .  When the collapse does come, it will seem to be “instant,” but it began long before the Clinton Administration signed NAFTA/GATT...  After you read the interview, you might want to check this out, “Can't Say We Weren't Warned.”

- Quote of the Week from The Crisis Papers site. -

“At some point, the congressional Democrats may have to face up to the hard choice before them: either put impeachment of Bush and Cheney back ‘on the table’ or accept that the United States has ceased being a constitutional Republic governed by the principle that no man is above the law.”

[ Also - for a further perspective...  Not only did you “allow” him to say it...
you then “allowed” him to get away with it. . .  and you then...
(to add even further injury to his insult...)  “allowed” him to prove it. ]

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,
It's just a goddamned piece of paper!”
