The United States happens to be the only state in the world that has been condemned by the World Court for international terrorism.

It was during the Reagan years that defiance of international law and the U.N. Charter became entirely open.

A good education instills in you the intuitive comprehension - it becomes unconscious and reflexive - that you just don't think certain things, things that are threatening to power interests.

The Iraq War was the first conflict in western history in which an imperialist war was massively protested against before it had even been launched.

The corporations plainly want academic scholarship to create a web of mystification that will avoid any public awareness of the way in which power actually functions in the society, and the faculty has caught the message and they do it magnificently.

The United States is a special case, and for me, very interesting. It's studied carefully and we know a lot about it. One of the most striking features of the elections is the class-based character of the vote. Now, class is not discussed or even measured in the United States.

But you can sort of see the significance of it just from income figures.

The best defense against democracy is to distract people.
