Posted on October 22nd, 2009 by admin

This video is the first half of an interview with Professor Noam Chomsky on American Foreign Policy in Latin America, and Latin American integration. In the interview, Noam Chomsky addresses the traditional relationship between the United States and Latin America, the impact of neoliberal economic policies, and Latin America’s “turn to the left.”

    It would help you to stop acting like a child and drop the ad hominem attacks, it only hurts your position.

    Cry me a river

    I could the same argument about the leaders of the socialist ideology in Asia, Eastern Europe or even the cuban dictatorship that oppressed and killed in a scale much greater and brutal.

    Its amazing that socialists with such backward, rigid and dogmatic beliefs would dare to call other people “religious fundamentalism”.

    But I admit that I am a fundamentalist……. a fundamentalist of human liberty and the rights of the individual.

  9. Wraith23 Says:

    Slavery still …
    Slavery still exists today in Cuba, open your eyes.

  10. Wraith23 Says:

    Do you mean doctor …
    Do you mean doctor Milton Friedman winner of the Novel Prize in economics? yeah he is doing fine. You should read his work about Price Theory it may improve your understanding about economics.

    By the way I read Klein’s book, most of it anyway, it was full of leaps of logic and inconsistencies but what more can you expect from a simple journalist without an academic degree?

  11. Wraith23 Says:

    I recommend you to …
    I recommend you to read “The World Was Going Our Way: The KGB and the Battle for the Third World” by KBG major Vasili Mitrokhin about the KGB secret operations in Latin American and other places.

  12. Wraith23 Says:

    You dont understand …
    You dont understand the logic of the cold war.

    The KGB and the CIA didnt directly intervene.

    And by the way those “thousands” killed in their failed “socialist revolutions” were only marxists and terrorists so nobody cares about them.

  13. TheJulienT Says:

    this fundamentalist …
    this fundamentalist religious ideology that friedmanites adhere to filled thousands into stadiums…repressed and still does..thousands..millions worldwide..terrorism on a scale that makes bin laden look like nothing…disappearances after disappearances…murder after murder…all for what?..so a few can make some $….

    if evolution exists, certainly those who follow this madness are waaayyyyyyy behind

  14. TheJulienT Says:

    hows milton doing?. …
    hows milton doing?….lolololol…..milton friedman..insane individual with ridiculous notions about economic development…reaganomics, the most grotesque notions about modern development ever fabricated….you should read Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine..they sell it in most university libraries..

  15. TheJulienT Says:

    you and otto reich …
    you and otto reich and posada cariles along with the brothers al terrorismo seem to have something in common…and its not your intellectual ability

  16. TheJulienT Says:

    lololol… silly… …
    lololol… silly…..ford also used unions…to manage workers…

    by the way, slavery still existed in Cuba before jan 1 1959….

    go to school

  17. TheJulienT Says:

    you need to go to …
    you need to go to schooooool little man…try university…study american foreign policy since you seem to be interested in it…

  18. TheJulienT Says:

    hey..how are your terrorist friends in miami?..sipping coffee at versailles?…

  19. TheJulienT Says:

  20. TheJulienT Says:

    yes
    thousands .. …

    yes
    thousands ..and in el salvador, nicaragua, indonesia, chile, honduras, and many many other places

  21. Wraith23 Says:

    Oh and finally …
    Oh and finally about Cuba, just look at the growing rates supplied by UNESCO before and after Batista’s defeat.

    By the way the unions were very powerful during Batista’s reign, they actually supported him until the end.

    You have been living in a dream world, open your eyes.

  22. Wraith23 Says:

    Also the cuban DGI …
    Also the cuban DGI with the assistance Eduardo Paredes (chief of investigations and personal friend of Allende) and Patricio de la Guardia (Cuba attache in Santiago and DGI member) coordinated the smugling of thousands of cuban wepons to be delivered to Allende’s supporters in the hope of securing the power of the socialist regime in Chile.

  23. Wraith23 Says:

    Your logic is so …
    Your logic is so faulty is amazing.

    Did the CIA murder thousands in Guatemala in Chile too? off course not, it was the cold war.

    For your information according to KGB general Nikolai Leonov (former head of KGB in Latin America) the Soviet Union granted the UP leaders in Chile 114 million dollars in loans and 100 millions dollars in weapons, including KGB money going directly to fund Allende before and after his election.

  24. TheJulienT Says:

    you need to take a …
    you need to take a political science course in a university kiddo…about a history lesson..kgb dis not murder thousands in guatemala nor chile..nor did it fund nor continue to fund terrorism and destabilization in that region..open free-market does not exist..the only things growing under batista were illiteracy and inequality and..civil unrest..

  25. TheJulienT Says:

    …and you re living in a dream world with mickey mouse and all of obama s fans
