In a Nut-Shell

Very typically Chomsky: articulate and concise, intellectually perceptive and straight to the relevant issues. With intelligence and moral integrity he deftly exposes every hidden intent, every ruse, every sneaky trick. 
 
Very typically Obama; confident and charming, intellectually deceptive and sugar-coating his evasion of all the relevant issues. With cunning and charisma he deftly evades discussion of the hidden US intent, applies every rhetorical ruse and every dirty political trick. 
 
Obama wants to give full support to the Israeli agenda - the complete absorption of Palestine into the state of israel and dominance over the Arab states of the middle east - as a means to continued American dominance of the world\'s key oil resources. 
 
Chomsky wants to live in a country that is a shining light on the hill, a beacon of moral and intellectual integrity and justice that becons the way to a harmonious existence for all mankind on a finite planet. 
 
The problem that Chomsky faces is that there are too many Americans who are either brain dead or blindly following the pied piper. Yhos is the pied piper who took them through revolution on false pretenses and kept them under control for cenyuries aferwards with a constitutional document full of empty words - instantly demolished by the barbaric genocide of the native people and endemic social, legal and economic discrimination against it\'s former slaves. They believe that hevinf \"put all this behind them\" they can move on to the next sordid phase of SELF. They never notice that it is their shameful, unrepented past that denies them the happiness they relentlessly pursue through wealth acquisition and military and economic dominance. 
 
The pied pipers of America are safely protected by bought and paid for people, the massive instruments of police, military and security services who separate them from their subjugated masses, The ordinary people of America immerse themselves in \"patriotism\" and the illusion that they too can \"make it in the land of opportunity\", rather than dare to express their disgust for the wealthy elite who deprive them of dignity.  
 
Under this pathetic crust, this scab of a society, is festering every imaginable psychosis - principally a gripping paranoia of endless enemies without and within, a relentless need for matetial reassurance of adequacy, insatiable demand for devices - from power tools to SUVs that give the illusion of power and ever-waiting, just under the surface of every American lurks the monster that may one day shoot up his school-mates or coleagues, tahe to drive-by shootings or murder his own family before suicide because the ever-waiting reality of the hopelessness of American life has finally overtaken them. 
 
SAD, very SAD. 
What is saddest is that this festering pool of filth is about to boil over and infect every remaining pocket of sane life on planet earth. 
It\'s the loomig final act of the human tragedy, just before the curtain of environmental catastrophy comes down on the stage.
