  1. Wonderful, wry witty article, thanks Kap.
    Time for Noam to retire to his Cape Cod cottage (maybe it’s not far from the Heinz mansion?). But he’s too busy giving the same lecture over and over all across the country (why don’t people just buy the audio tape from Alternative Radio?). He’s also too busy to debate Jeff Blankfort, can’t fit it in the schedule.

    I watched that video produced by Move.on, The Nation and Alternet, called “Uncovered: the whole truth about the Iraq war”. The “whole truth”? Ha ha! It did have some interesting parts to be sure. I almost spllit a rib when Colin Powell pointed to some cartoons (to illustrate WMDs in lieu of actual proof) that looked like they were straight out of the Warner Bros. with Bugs Bunny. I thought he would speak in a Mel Blanc type voice: “Saddam has WMDs, see?!” But the whole premise of the video- and I respect that many of the government whistleblowers are decent, honorable people- was nevertheless highly flawed. You have the CIA et. al. talking about what a liar George Bush is with the presumption that the entire Cold War and the existence of the National Security State was not also a big big big BIG lie. Furthermore, the video did not tell the “whole truth,” since they did not allow Bill Christison (who thinks the CIA should be radically peeled back) to go into detail about who the Neo Cons really are: Zionists. Not a critical word about Israel and their role in regarding US policy in the entire documentary.
    Back on topic, I have yet to see any convincing evidence that Kerry is any different than Bush, except that he wants to expand the US military presense abroad beyond Bush. Is that what Noam wants too? Finally, there was a piece by Howard Dean bashing Nader in the NYT. As one writer to Sam Smith’s wonderful site, The Progressive Review pointed out, it’s as if Dean set up progressives in the US to get all excited about a real populist (Dean, uh uh, I think not), and then bow out at the appropriate moment, letting the steam out of the movement
    (diverting the sincere activists in the Dean camp away from Nader). String them along and then ask them to vote for a Nazi. That’s the Dem Party way.

  2. incidentally, it should be schocking and awful, not “awing”.  Aside from that, well done, my friend.

  3. Very witty.  Hope you’ll forget previous comments I made elsewhere.  Or better yet, didn’t see them at all.

    I don’t think Noam’s decision in this matter negates all the wonderful things he’s done over the course of a long and distinguished career and think some progressives are being too harsh on him about this.  No one who sits on the toilet is going to be perfect.  Noam has said he will hold his nose and vote for Kerry; and that very slight philosophical differences in the candidates can mean very large consequences in the “real world.” In health care, for example; probably in the abortion issue.  Perhaps in selection of federal and supreme court judges.  I hardly think he would agree with increased troop strength overseas. 

    As for Dean being a progressive?  Yeah, right.  Would have been nice to see him get the nomination to see the truth in that proposition.

  4. Kudos to Noam for many years of service. I have learned alot from him. But note the article posted today by Spinoza: a Kerry hyper millitarist president might be worse than a Bush #2. Not to be insensitive to the possibility (and if you have any evidence of Kerry having a more enlightened domestic policy than Bush, I am open to hear it, I have thus far heard nothing about it other than Dem Party rhetoric), but I think the devastation of the results of an aggressive foreign policy pretty much wipe out any tiny concessions Kerry would make domestically (assuming he would). I prefer the more obvious moron liar fraud Bush over the slightly less obvious moron liar fraud Kerry (both Zionist puppets) since it exposes the total bankruptcy of the system more clearly. I am amazed that people are backing Kerry without offering empirical reasons (and Noam offered none either) as to why. Pardon my ignorance if they have, please inform.

  5. PS: Furthermore regarding Hitler clone #2 (Kerry) and domestic politics (and I noticed that even Spinoza made the glib comment that there are substantive differences between Hitler clone #1(Bush jr.) and Hitler clone #2 without saying what they are), as far as I know Kerry is in favor of the racist and completely phony war on drugs. The WOD is a domestic policy to incarcerate minorities (as Noam has pointed out, those whom the elites consider to be the “superfluous population"); He’s against universal health care and in favor of drug company totalitarianism; and in favor of the Patriot Act police state, as he voted for it and has promised...drum roll please… more police! Also, his pro-corporate policies are destroying America’s industrial infrastructure. So those are some pretty important domestic issues that Kerry fails badly on. His feigned concern for American workers is a big lie. He voted in favor of the WTO without ever having read the text of the agreement. The WTO is the ultimate symbol of fascism (in the sense that Mussolini used the word, the merging of state and corporate power). Finally, I just read that Kerry wants to be the conscription/education president: he has proposed to make student aid contingent on national service. So there we have it: his domestic policy is based on the service of empire.
