The Doctrine of Change of Course
Noam Chomsky
Great powers have always played cat and mouse games. The game is played to fool the target audience, the domestic population. Rulers cloak their motives behind some exalted principle. So the propaganda machinery churns out words and terms of mass deception. Perennial favorites are liberation, democracy, open markets, the national interest, self-defense and freedom. When […]
On Imperialism
Noam Chomsky
“Our fingers will be in every pie,” declared Sen. Robert Taft. “Our frontiers today are on every continent,” announced JFK. And indeed it has come to pass. In mainstream media and scholarship it has been rare to find the noun imperialism preceded by the adjective American. The cover for aggression is cloaked in the lofty […]
Iraq: A Test Case of Imperial Violence
Noam Chomsky
The U.S. attack on Iraq demonstrates once again that propaganda can be an effective tool for war mobilization. The Nazis understood this very well. Hitler said, “The broad mass of a nation will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.” Then he added, “By shrewd and constant application of […]
Collateral Language
Noam Chomsky
Noam Chomsky examines the use of language during wartime. Reports in the corporate media reveal another victim of the invasion of Iraq: language. The use of words is a powerful tool in shaping public opinion. In military briefings repeated by the media, we have “collateral damage” instead of civilian deaths. There was no assassination attempt […]
U.S. Grand Strategy: Global Rule by Force
Noam Chomsky
The New Imperial World Order is officially underway. The National Security Strategy document lays it all out. Bush has told the world, It’s our way or the highway.

The Martian notices a prevalent media convention. […]

Chomsky in India
