Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state...
Noam Chomsky
I do think that Magna Carta and international law are worth paying some attention to.
Noam Chomsky
I don't think that any deal was needed: Iran was not a threat. Even if Iran were a threat, there was a very easy way to handle it - by establishing a Middle East Nuclear Weapons Free Zone, which is something that nearly everyone in the world wants.
Noam Chomsky
In the case of Yugoslavia v. NATO, one of the charges was genocide. The U.S. appealed to the court, saying that, by law, the United States is immune to the charge of genocide, self-immunized, and the court accepted that, so the case proceeded against the other NATO powers but not against the United States.

Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky
The key element of social control is the strategy of distraction that is to divert public attention from important issues and changes decided by political and economic elites, through the technique of flood or flooding continuous distractions and insignificant information.
Noam Chomsky
Whether the person should then be called an intellectual seems to reduce the issue to a question of terminology.
Noam Chomsky
If you have worker-owned and worker-managed enterprises, you've got a different sociopolitical system.
Noam Chomsky
There are all the activist groups on every imaginable topic - solidarity groups, environmental and feminist groups - sectors of these movements do very valuable work.
Noam Chomsky
Where are the drug cartels getting their weapons? They are being provided by the United States. Cut off that flow of arms.
Noam Chomsky
For the past century or so that's [ Monroe Doctrine] actually been true, but it's declining very significantly.
Noam Chomsky
The public is not to see where power lies, how it shapes policy, and for what ends. Rather, people are to hate and fear one another.
Noam Chomsky
I do not see how we can rationally oppose high speed rail because of the environmental and other costs without considering the social and human consequences of the radical elimination of transportation that this entails.
Noam Chomsky
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
Noam Chomsky
You ought to teach kids that elections take place but that's not politics. If you want to know how legislation is made it doesn't come from elections.
Noam Chomsky
Destruction of the environment is not only rational it's exactly what you're taught to do in college.
Noam Chomsky
