NOAM CHOMSKY AND TOM HAYDEN JOIN THE RANKS OF THE BRAIN DEAD
by Jon Rappoport
November 6, 2012
These two luminaries have formed a group called No More Stolen Elections. If Romney wins, they’ll challenge any instances of Republican election fraud they can find.
They still think there are two political parties in this country.
How quaint. And soda fountains still dispense cherry Cokes and milk shakes in metal cans. A twist of licorice is two cents.
There was a time, 40 years ago, when the political left in this country stood for No More War and an end to illegal surveillance of private citizens.
Millions of people took to the streets to protest the Vietnam war, and thousands exposed the FBI’s COINTELPRO program, whereby the DOJ was planting spies and agents in protest groups to push them over the edge into mayhem and violence, so they could be prosecuted.
Those objectives are still relevant. The US, under a Democratic president, is engaging in covert and overt military adventures all over the planet. The Obama adminstration is arming terrorists to pose as armies of liberation in the Middle East and Africa. We are still in Afghanistan.
The Surveillance State today makes the old COINTEPRO program look like a rag-tag picnic in the park.
But the left, including Chomsky and Hayden, is focused on other things. Re-electing Obama at any cost. Giving away more welfare freebies than the current trillion-dollar-a-year programs deliver, while inner cities rot into tombs. Forcibly enrolling all Americans in a national health insurance plan that will bankrupt the already bankrupted government, that will expose millions more people to medical drugs that are already killing at least 100,000 people a year and maiming 30 million.
In 1966, a march and rally held in West Los Angeles surrounded the Century Plaza Hotel, where President Lyndon Johnson was staying, and forced LBJ into a box he couldn’t escape from. He abandoned his run for reelection in 1968.
The left was mercilessly excoriating its own standard bearer, a Democratic president, for his expansion of the war in Vietnam. Today, the notion of the left moving against a Democratic president is unthinkable. Obama could fire missiles at the moon and take out half of it, and the left would find a reason to praise the move.
The left has become a know-nothing force that rivals the right.
In California, the referendum on GMO labeling of foods has seen a fading of active support from the left. Their stance against murderous big corporations (in this case, Monsanto) has withered. Perhaps this is because their hero, Obama, has become Monsanto’s chief lobbyist in Washington. The left rarely mentions this.
The left’s aborted Occupy protests failed to see through to the implications of what they themselves were pointing at. It was too much for their tired brains. They couldn’t and wouldn’t equally accuse Clinton, Bush, and Obama for their roles in Grand Theft America.
The political left in this country is now all about more freebies, and sometimes they’re not even able to articulate that.
They fail to recognize or admit that Obama is the equal of Bush when it comes to war-mongering.
If Romney wins, he’ll bring back the old neocon crowd to replace Obama’s new neocon crowd. The federal government will not shrink. Imperial empire will still be on the table. 24/7 surveillance of private citizens will still be the rule. Ditto, if Obama wins.
The left in this country is a barnacle hanging on to a bubble of delusion.
It can’t follow a train of thought, even its own. It can’t see that progressivism should mean defecting from and decentralizing central power in all its forms. It can’t see that vast expansion of the Welfare State means more mad power for the federal government. It can’t see past the end of its own nose.
The left is now a quasi-religion based on empty slogans. Even the labor unions in America, once a force for better working conditions, have devolved into a ground-game army to get voters to the polls. Long ago, the private-sector unions sold away their strength to NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT, the WTO, and other death-dealing “free trade” regulations, with barely a whisper. They sold out their memberships to mega-corporations, and they’ve been paying the price.
The left is now a charade, a shadow play of ghosts.
They have no memory of the days when at least a few of their own wanted to crack the egg of centralized political and economic power in America. They don’t have the brains or balls for that now.
Tom Hayden? Noam Chomsky? You can put them on a level with George Clooney, Samuel Jackson, Madonna, and Alec Baldwin. At best, at the very best, they’re all brain-dead amnesia victims.
There is one political party in America, and no matter who wins the election today or how much fraud occurs on either side, the mission to forge a better nation will fall, by default, into the hands of people who reject both branches of that one party.

Jon, for someone who writes a lot on magic, imagination and out-of-box solutions, it is surprising how little you understand about the magic of fiat money. You really think that a country that can print its own money can ever get bankrupt? or can get indebted? Look at Japan, its debt-to-gdp ratio is over 200%, twice that of USA, yet Japan has never faced problem of not being able to rollover its debt. Or take China – it has built hundreds of modern cities, high-speed railways, highways etc by simply creating loans. China’s banks and local govts are facing high debts but the high growth that the country enjoys ensures that it always has money to cover its debt.
While welfare economics is not advisable, its not a problem..forcible health insurance plans will increase the business of medical and insurance companies which will increase growth and consequently taxation revenue..so there is no question of bankruptcy. Even if they run out of money, they can print more. Again, I’m not advocating more exposure to drugs via the medical mafia, but only pointing out to your lack of understanding of modern monetary system (MMT).
There is no limit to the money that a govt can create and spend, provided it has not run out of resources (land, minerals, human labor etc). Since unemployment in US is high, govt (if it so desires) can create and spend billions on infrastructure/welfare projects which will result in creation of new demand for goods and services and stimulate the economy.
Please study MMT – blog like http://mikenormaneconomics.blogspot.in/ is a good start to understand the magical nature of fiat money,
At least, watch these few videos to get basic understanding of modern economics..
A rising supply of money does not mean inflation is coming

The guy that you advocate – Ron Paul – is a charlatan (follower of discredited austrian school of economics) who doesn’t understand our monetary system. He has fooled millions into believing his bullshit and its sad that even someone as brilliant as you has fallen for his outdated crap.
This is such a mishmash of whining in all directions. For a writer I highly respect, this is all over the place. Must we still disparage “government” as the root of all evil? It’s not government that took down the Twin Towers. It wasn’t even the CIA. It was rogue elements within both. God forbid one should invoke “government of the people,” after all, this is evil. Well, we haven’t seen government of the people yet, so we can’t disparage it. What we have had all along is government by sociopaths and psychopaths. That’s the story of history. Why can’t we say “it doesn’t have to be that way? For people to grab some of the crumbs off the loaf they have created it’s going to require scaring the hell out of the psychopaths who rule – the way the French did in 1968. . . .There is work to be done, dams, highways, railroads, schools and hospitals to be built. There are workers who will smile from ear to ear when given a chance to build these things. What’s stopping us from putting the two together? Money? You create it out of thin air with 0 interest. You start industries. The “money” gets paid back, and then the electronic entries are erased. Done. No Inflation. There are brains out there who cut past the bullshit. I’ll pitch in with economist Michael Hudson and Webster Tarpley anytime.
Great job finding the uncounted Prop. 37 votes AND thank you so much for your other great work I have seen so far. You’re new to me but, happily, I’ve found you. One issue: Chomsky was an early endorser of 2012 Green Party Presidential Candidate, Dr. Jill Stein, and in the eleventh hour of the election odyssey, I received Dr. Chomsky’s plea on her/our behalf for contributions to her Green Party, real-human-people-only, stop-fouling-your-own-nest, stop-destroying-your-own-home, come-together-for-the-human race campaign.
All blessings to you. Thank you, again, for your continuing work, and for ability to transcend small ego motives for the Good we all can know in our Heart of Hearts! P.S. What actions can we take to not only require the counting of all votes, but to bring justice to the blatantly apparent criminal actions related to fraudulent use of the FDA logo, the fraudulent quote attributed to the FDA, and and the use of the U.S. Postal Service to perpetrate these activities? Wonder if there could be a separate legal action that could be taken regarding the misuse of the USPS, especially since the DOJ has referred the issue to the FDA for action/inaction….Wondering how this whole scenario would appear and would be unfolding at this same, exact point in time, if Yes on Prop. 37 had engaged in the same misuse of the FDA logo, statement attribution, and misuse of the USPS….
Chomsky has written many times about the fact that there is only one party in America. His threat to seek out instances of voter fraud in this election applies strictly to this election.
RIGHT ON JON! THOUGHT HAYDEN WENT OUT WITH PATTY HEURST.
