Posted Friday, June 11, 2004 The Majority Report audio interview, on Hegemony or Survival, with Janeane Garofalo and Sam Seder (June 3, 2004): "Madeleine Albright knew, certainly, that Clinton had a similar doctrine. In fact she herself had reiterated as UN Ambassador Clinton's words that the United States would use force 'multilaterally when we can and unilaterally if we must.' [...] The point is that [unlike the National Security strategy] it was kept quiet, reserved, not put forth in such a way as to ensure that even allies would be bitterly offended." 'Another World is Possible! Network' (Budapest) video talk on the Ideology of the New World Order (June, 2004): "Noam Chomsky, author, linguist, university professor and political activist, joined the 'Another World is Possible! Network' in the Kossuth Club, Budapest, for a Sunday afternoon of questions and answers on today's most vital questions. The video of the debate can be downloaded in English opposite. Over the two hours, Chomsky delved into the ideology of the New World Order, placing the onus on local activists to get organised and deal with the issues important to them - while keeping the movements decentralised and egalitarian." The Charlie Rose Show audio interview transcript on the Internet, the Middle East, and Democratic Elections (November 20, 2003): "If you really look closely, elections eliminate issues where the masses are the opposing opinion. Let's take a concrete case, the 2000 election. Among the issues of highest concern to the general population are things that roughly relate to the so-called trade agreements. So deficits, and overseas investment, the transfer of jobs, lots of topics like that. Right at that time there was a plan for an international conference in Quebec intended to extend the NAFTA type agreement to the whole hemisphere. These are issues of enormous concern to the people. Did it come up in the election? No. There's a reason why it didn't come up. It's consistent. On those issues, the public tends to oppose policies on which there is an elite consensus and therefore it doesn't come up in the elections." Democracy Now audio interview on Reagan's Legacy (June 7, 2004): "The Reagan administration is either the same people or their immediate mentors for the most part. I think one can say that the current administration is a selection of the more extremist and arrogant and violent and dangerous elements of the Reagan administration." Talk at the University of Oxford, Doctrines and Visions: Who Is to Run The World, and How? (June 4, 2004): "We have just passed the first anniversary of the President's declaration of victory in Iraq. I won't speak about what is happening on the ground. There is more than enough information about that, and we can draw our own conclusions. I will just mention one aspect of it: What has happened to Iraqis?" Preventive Warriors, a documentary directed by Michael Burns, is in the process of being released. The film includes interviews to Noam Chomsky and Anthony Arnove.
