Chomsky,Noam

From 911Encyclopedia:

Professor and prominent social critic Noam Chomsky teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is the author of more than 70 books, including "Rogue State: The Rule of Force in World Affairs". In late 2001, Noam Chomsky released his book "9-11", in which he reminded, that "we should recognize that in much of the world the U.S. is regarded as a leading terrorist state, and with good reason."

Review at http://www.counterpunch.org/akram0615.html In an interview in March 2002, Noam Chomsky pointed out, that what drives the so called "War on Terrorism", "has nothing to do with terrorism. What drives it is control over resources, and that's important. It's not just oil. For example, another major resource, which people don't pay enough attention to, is water.

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." In April 2002, Chomsky started to publish a new print magazine called http://www.war-times.org/

On December 6th, 2002 Chomsky "analysed the Bushies" in an interview with Anthony DiMaggio ( http://indy.pabn.org/): "Regaining control over Iraq's oil resources (not access, but control; a very different matter) is longstanding. 9/11 provided a pretext for the resort to force, not only by the US: also Russia, China, Indonesia, Israel, many others. ...Bush is probably irrelevant. But the people around him have a record: They are recycled Reaganites. ...It's interesting to read the archives of Nazi Germany, fascist Japan, the Soviet Union. The leaders are acting from the highest imaginable motives, and probably believed it." Source: http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=14701

In late 2002, Chomsky was put on a "watch list" by Daniel Pipes (->) and campuswatch.org (->)
