My 2 Year anniversary on YouTube! RepresentativePress Videos
Excerpt from a 40 minute interview with Noam Chomsky:
TOM MURPHY: I agree with you that – or is this what you’re saying that, is it economic reasons …

NOAM CHOMSKY: Strategic reasons. I mean, economic and strategic, which are impossible to distinguish. But since the Second World War, I’ll quote the State Department, the Middle East oil producing regions have been regarded, I’ll quote the words, “a stupendous source of strategic power.” George Kennan, State Department, head of the planning section said control, not access, control over the Middle East oil gives us “veto power” over what our rivals might do, other industrial powers. You control the spigot, have your hand on the spigot, you have a lot of world control. It’s not even access to oil. The first, roughly, 30 years after the Second World War, the U.S. was – North America was the major oil producer. It wasn’t using Middle East oil, never the less we had to keep an iron hand of control on Middle East oil and if the U.S. were to go to solar energy, they’d still want to control Middle East oil because that’s a lever of world control. Everyone understands it but we’re not allowed to think about it.

I plan to put the whole interview on YouTube soon.

Here’s a link to another talk Chomsky gave about U.S. Middle East Policy
Noam Chomsky at Columbia University, April 4, 1999

http://www.chomsky.info/talks/19990404.htm

“the US took over from Britain in the Middle East and, in fact, much of the world, after the Second World War. In fact actually, replaced Britain and France. France was summarily expelled— they weren’t given the time of day. Britain however, was given a role. It was given the role of “junior partner”, as the British foreign office rather ruefully described it, accurately. Britain was going to be our lieutenant— the fashionable word is “partner”— as they were described by a senior adviser in the Kennedy administration. That’s reasonably accurate— you’re seeing an example of it right now. The lieutenant is doing its job— the attack-dog, maybe.”

http://www.chomsky.info/talks/19990404.htm

“The core issue in the Middle East is very straightforward, namely oil. Since WWI, when the world began to move onto an oil-based economy, the Middle East has become central in world affairs, for the very obvious reason that it has, by far the largest and the most accessible petroleum resources— primarily in Saudi Arabia, secondarily in Iraq, and thirdly in the Gulf Emirates, and elsewhere. It is, as the State Department described it during the Second World War, when the US was taking over: “It’s a stupendous source of strategic power and the greatest material prize in world history.” “It’s strategically the most important part of the world”, as the president of Columbia University described it, as he was making his transition from Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe to supreme commander of the world— in the White House.”

    Palestine …
    Palestine population: 1890

    Approx 475,000 total — 3% Jews. There was nowhere near the violence, injustice, chaos and danger than there is now.

    Oh, and Jews were kicked out of over 100 countries because *SOME criminal Jews kept trying to destroy those countries from within.
    For a clear example see: United States – and all the dual citizen parasite zionists in the media, gov and fed that have only brought everyone (but themselves), pain and ruin.

    Israel and Zionism = death/lies

    Why? World Control? They also found that to do that, the easiest way was to deliberately control the mind of man. Independent thinkers were seen as a threat to shareholders, thus, in came a ‘*Philosopher-Leo Strauss. To create the necessary illusions*perceputal realities* formed thru media the mass were mesmerized with religion & good & evil perceptions to create solitary effect that what was needed was an Elite to lead the Masses done in early 50′s-60′s all without integrity was ok 4 sake of $

    It is so likely that another terrorist attack happens in USA much bigger that previous one someth like a Nuk Bomb (probably those which were lost in last Aug) in one of the cities in US (like LA which has 150000 Iranian) and again false flag operation and this time blame on Iran
    This will be the permission for war against Iran => WW3

  12. stk008 says:

    YES I agree, because if obama gets elected, he’ll take Bush’s path, which is to destroy anything in their way!
