I was just curious if anyone has ever read this man? I am currently doing a paper which is due tommorow -- given 2 months ago ! -- on his book " THE UMBRELLA OF U.S. POWER "; it's very short and concise.

Rezensionen:

The United States government often invokes a moral imperative to honor human rights as justification for its foreign-policy decisions. But, according to Noam Chomsky, America's actual track record falls far short of the principles iterated in 1948's Universal Declaration of Human Rights--the accepted international standard. This slim but passionate volume lists case after case in which the United States has provided aid to grossly abusive regimes--among which Chomsky includes Israel and Indonesia--and examples of how the American government seeks to limit the human rights of its own citizens. With equal criticism for Democrat and Republican administrations, The Umbrella of U.S. Power refuses to remain silent about "the things it 'wouldn't do' to mention" as it works to expose the contradictions between what government leaders tell their people and what they actually do. --Ron Hogan



So far my essay is very short, lol.

This is what i have gotten down so far, and it's due in like 10 hours !

As it were and as it stands currently on an international and domestic scale, the U.S., according to Chomskey and vehemently lauded through a concise brittle of egoism by
itself, is a sociopolitical superpower; one could also conclude the U.S. has no spatiotemporal extension. A sort of spurious child of the xenophobic clan God YAWEH; a
jelous and often angered anthromorphic entity demanding utter obedience by it's subjects and an outright onerous attitude towards other cults and followings.


lol.

Noam Chomskey: The Umbrella of U.S. Power

As it were and as it stands currently on an international and domestic scale, the U.S., according to Chomskey and vehemently lauded through a concise brittle of egoism by itself, is a sociopolitical superpower; and one could also conclude the U.S. has no spatiotemporal extension and is a paradigm, par excellence, of the perfect society. A sort of spurious child of the xenophobic clan God YAWEH; a jelous and often angered anthromorphic diety demanding utter obedience by it's subjects and an outright onerous attitude towards other cults and followings usualy regurgitated in a contradictory and apocryphalic manner. A child who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to it's father will and surpassed even it's xenophobia and abhorent attitude to every "right" minded person; a child whom is quite adamant in the belief of "picking and choosing" select passages from scripture, in this case: "The Universal Delcaration of Human Rights", and using it as a weapon against the oncoming "insurgency" of non-western relativism. Noam Chomskey takes this "child" and often the pedagogical insight and dogmatism accrued thereunto towards non-western nations as an act "reeking of hypocrisy"; these, more often than not, being the vehement and hypocrtical nature of the world super power to invoke sanctions on countries showing an utter disregard to human rights, whilst committing, if not the most discreetly brutal, economic warfare on this planet, vis-a-vis "Reaganite Sanction Threats". The book demands an extremely informed -- of international affairs -- background for the reader, and is no par short of assuming that said circumstance/event is well known and habituated in the mind of the readers. The erection of quandary, bar none, bears a heavy load onto readers poorly educated in the field of politics and social sciences, but does intice further speculative enquiry. To those inclined to philophical terminology, we cany justy assume a style of " argumentum ad verecundiam" inherent in the book; i found it, in utter dismay, the constant bombardment of criminologists, human rights agencies, and other "intellects" to be mildy comforting, but, as it were, the ligitimacy of these said men and women have dire implications on the merit of the material and accusations being convey; accusations that seemed quite oblique and require one to take a "grand" leap of faith to justly assume, for example, that racial discrimination was being partaken by the U.S. goverment's "war on drugs" and quite evidently left one with no justifications or even a sociopyscholigcal discourse as to "why" and leaving arguments pertaining to "hang dry" and leaving readers to make assumptions based on selective conotations.
Was this book "good" or "bad", well, is a matter of semantics.
What do you think ?

Paperclip,

This is the first book of his i have read, it was okay...

lol.

I'm gonna go through that site though, after, i don't want to lose my train of thought on this current piece.
