Democracy Now!
by Noam Chomsky - 22 Oct 03
'If you repeat it loudly enough it will become the truth' - MIT Institute Professor of Linguistics and author Noam Chomsky speaks out on U.S. hegemony, controlling the domestic population through fear and the historical parallels of current U.S. foreign policy [read full transcript].
nti-war protesters from across the country are planning to march in Washington and San Francisco this weekend [see United for Peace and Justice and A.N.S.W.E.R.] to oppose the U.S. occupation in Iraq. The demonstrations are also timed to coincide with the second anniversary of the passing of the USA Patriot Act.
We spend the hour hearing a speech by institute professor and professor of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Noam Chomsky. He is the author of Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest For Global Dominance, 9-11, Power and Terror and many other books.

Hegemony - interesting word. Had to look that one up. Haven't seen it in use before.
Links, BBB? Butrflynet -- hegemony is the way of the world. The NBC Peacock would be a better symbol for the US instead of the Eagle but not by much. That raptor is doing what it does best right now.
