Julian Assange Show: Noam Chomsky & Tariq Ali

[Killuminati]

I don't know if you guys have been following The Julian Assange show, but he's got some good interviews, including one with Rafael Correa.

I didn't even know he had a show till I heard he walked into the Ecuadorian embassy looking for asylum. Started reading stuff and they mentioned that he had a show, and had interviewed Correa. Thanks for posting man.

Noam Chomsky Vs The Red Head

[shakur420]

Quote:"...The greatest threat to democracy right now is the transfer of decision making into the hands of unaccountable private power. It's done by a lot of ways, but one of them is what they call "minimizing the state." This is kind of paradoxical for me. I'm an old-time anarchist from way back. I don't think the federal government is a legitimate institution. I think it ought to be dismantled, in principle; just as I don't think there ought to be cages -- I don't think people ought to live in cages. On the other hand, if I'm in a cage and there's a saber tooth tiger outside, I'd be happy to keep the bars of the cage in place -- even though I think the cage is illegitimate. I think that image is not inappropriate. There are plenty of good arguments, in my opinion, against centralized government authority. On the other hand, there's a much worse danger right outside. The centralized government authority is at least to some extent under popular influence, and in principle at least under popular control. The unaccountable private power outside is under no public control. What they call minimizing the state -- transferring the decision making to unaccountable private interests -- is not helpful to human beings or to democracy or, for that matter, to the markets...

lol, that's about the first point. Should I even bother with the rest of the video seeing as how dude clearly doesn't have any idea what Chomsky actually says on this issue? Somehow, lol, I doubt his other "points" hold much more weight.
