MICHAEL PARENTI ~ CAPITALISM CREATES POVERTY

“...this tough, hilarious, right-on mix of scholar and street.” ~ KPFA-Pacifica, 1994

“My point is that it's incorrect to say that the Iraq policy isn't working. It is working. It is doing what they want. They have got control of the oil and they are exporting it, and they have stripped a government that was 90% state owned and they are privatizing it. ... They have taken a country that was self defining and self developing and is now an impoverished prostrate devastated country where people will line up to work for slave wages or become members of the police or army because it's the only job they can get and serve as adjuncts to U.S. imperialism.”
~ Michael Parenti

“Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism ~ some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.” ~ Michael Parenti

A prolific author, a charismatic speaker, and a regular guest on radio and television talk shows, Parenti communicates his message in an accessible, provocative, and historically informed style that is unrivaled among fellow progressive activists and thinkers.”

“The guiding principle of ruling elites was ~ and still is: When change threatens to rule, then the rules are changed.”




ALTHOUGH THIS SPEECH WAS GIVEN IN 2002, IT OVERFLOWS WITH INFORMATION SUPPRESSED IN THE WESTERN WORLD. IN THIS CASE, MEET THE REAL CAUSE OF THE ATTACK ON IRAQ AND THE NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE CHARACTERS INVOLVED WHO SENT OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OFF TO DIE OR PARTICIPATE IN AN UNNECESSARY GENOCIDE. LEARN WHAT MAKES A LEADER A "DICTATOR" IN THE EYES OF THE AMERICAN RULING CLASS.

THIS IS BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED AROUND 22:00 FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AS HE DISCUSSES "SUBVERSIVE" GOVERNMENTS. VERY CRUCIAL INFORMATION CONSIDERING THAT THE RUMBLE IS THAT VENEZUELA UNDER CHAVEZ IS FALLING UNDER THE CROSSHAIRS.


AS ALWAYS, PARENTI DELIVERS.

  1. Hello Noor.

    Parenti destroys the Capitalist myth.

    Communism is another form of the same central Bankster idolatry of mammon - GREED.

    All of it would change if we enacted an old dictum - "a fair days wage for a fair days labor" - and especially HOLD the "corporate" types to that for themselves!

    I believe there are 7 bases in Colombia now.
