I should start by saying that for me, listening to Noam speak about US foreign policy or our politics is spiritual, like going to church and seeing the light of God. The things he says are usually so self evident as to seem obvious, and another person whose speech shares that self evidence is Bernie Sanders. If anybody knows Shillary's deal, it's Chomsky.

Is what Noam Chomsky says to Charlie Rose in this great 2003 interview.

I took a break from spotify and listened to this among other things while coding away at work today. His points are well worth noting in this election. Exactly of course what Bernie has been pointing out. And I imagine a large part of why we are here.

Have a listen and/or watch. The whole interview is great if you have time.

I urge anyone who has not already done so to take the time to read this excellent article on truth-out.org. It's an excerpt from Noam Chomsky's latest book entitled What Kind of Creatures Are We?, which explores the roots of America's extremely class-centric system of government.
