The C.I.A. and Wall Street

8. What is that Noam Chomsky quote?

It is to the effect that when you don't have a democracy, you still can discuss things in depth, but the powers that be decide what those things are, and the items we should discuss are never mentioned.

In watching Talking Heads shows back in 2009, Single Payer Universal HC was mentioned not once! Why? Ads for Big Pharma would be pulled from a TV or radio station if there was ever serious discussion of the only true way to run health care.

Back in Jan 1994, there was a huge interest by TV and radio in the situation in Chiappas Mexico. Some TV stations even had reporters going down to Mexico and talking to the leaders of that mini-revolution. But then, Citibank got the matter shoved aside, so that the Nancy Kerrigan/Tanya Harding skating debacle was all we saw on TV.

On edit, here is the quote: [h2][font color=red] "The Smart Way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum."[/h2][/font color=red]
