Attach a fishing line to the backwards baseball cap of a young Negro, and use it to dangle a loaded crack pipe just out of reach in front of him. He should perperually run after the crack, and, being that Negroes are quite speedy, one should be able to use him to create a large amount of energy.

Everyone knows Noam Chomsky of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for his linguistics and his left-wing politics. But the fact that he also plays an important role in the neo-Nazi movement of our time -- that he is, without any doubt, the most important patron of that movement -- is well known only in France. Much like a bigamist who must constantly strain to keep one of his families secret from the other, Chomsky and his most initiated supporters try to prevent his liberal and left-wing followers from knowing too much about his other, his neo-Nazi life.
Chomsky has said that his contact with the neo-Nazis is strictly limited to a defense of their freedom of speech. He has said that he disagrees with the most important neo-Nazi article of faith, viz. that the Holocaust never happened. But such denials have not prevented him from prolonged and varied political collaboration with the neo-Nazi movement, from agreement with it on other key points, nor -- and this has proven essential for the neo-Nazis especially in France -- from using his scholarly reputation to promote and publicize the neo-Nazi cause.
Avram Noam Chomsky was born in Philadelphia in 1928. He is the son of the noted Hebraist William (Zev) Chomsky and was educated in the progressive schools of his parents' milieu. Later, apparently because he was thought to be exceptionally brilliant, he was awarded a bachelor's and even a Ph.D. degree in linguistics without going through any required courses or formalities. Today he is Institute Professor at MIT and author of numerous and highly influential books on the nature of language. His work is respected by scholars and admired by the public. It would be difficult to find a more prestigious figure in American, or, for that matter, in international academia.
But if we judge by the treatment he has received in the press, his fame rests most of all on his involvement with the anti-Vietnam War movement of the late 1960's and early 1970's. In the decade from 1966 to 1975, the New York Times Index mentioned him a total of ninety-five times, eighty-two times for political activities and the rest for scholarly work.
Since 1976, Chomsky's public notoriety having noticeably declined, the Index awards him just twenty-one references, again mostly -- in seventeen cases -- for his politics. But whether the news item deals with politics or linguistics some mention is almost invariably made to Chomsky's academic status and it seems doubtful that without it his politicking would have been at all newsworthy.
I have tried to find references in The New York Times to Chomsky's neo-Nazi involvements and could find only two items, out of the over one hundred devoted to him, that allude to this side of his activities. The story is quite different in France where Le Monde and other publications regularly refer to Chomsky's relationship to the French neo-Nazi propagandist Robert Faurisson. But in America there is little to deflect the casual observer from an impression of Chomsky as an eminently reasonable academic who may, at the very worst, sometimes get a bit overly zealous in his pursuit of the good (i.e. left-wing) society.
One characteristic of Chomsky's political writings that does raise immediate questions about his judgment is his obvious animus toward the United States and Israel. He occasionally says bad things about most of the governments of the world but it is Israel and the United States for which he reserves his extraordinary vitriol. Chomsky is careful not to justify Hitler explicitly but his writings create the impression that the Nazis could not have been any worse than the "war criminals" of the United States and Israel today. Moreover, and this is indeed curious, almost all references to Nazis in his books turn out to be denunciations of Nazi-like behavior on the part of Israelis.
But it is well known that Chomsky is Jewish and his anti-Israel stance, when not examined closely enough to reveal its radically malevolent kernel, is sometimes considered as a liberal Jew's way of leaning over backward to be fair to the other side. As for the anti-Americanism, well, that is surely something quite in vogue...
Chomsky's writings are often praised by his admirers as packed with "facts." And indeed there are many footnotes and many references to apparently esoteric pieces of information. But I have found that these references, at least those that deal with crucial points, simply do not check out. Sometimes the source is impossible to track down, sometimes it is completely misquoted, very often it is so patently and completely biased that no responsible scholar could have taken it at face value. Later in this essay I shall demonstrate these problems by examining Chomsky's treatment of two important episodes in the history of Israel. In regard to Chomsky's treatment of U. S. foreign policy, Stephen Morris has already demonstrated Chomsky's sleight-of-hand methods back in 1981. (16)
But none of this -- not his strident left-wing politics, not his bitter anti-Israel activism, certainly not his disreputable scholarship on matters political -- seems to interfere with what still amounts to a very high prestige in wide circles of educated America. It remains to be seen what will happen when his neo-Nazi connections get to be more widely known.
Well I mean, common, that can't be so generalized in USA as well, I can't believe all the smart are unpopular and all dumb and "stylish" popular.
You are correct. Being a nerd in America is not very bad at all. However, American nerds like to pretend to be victims, just like feminists, blacks, and gays. So humor them while they whine.
"As an American who was born and raised in Iraq, I am often asked, "Are you for the war on Iraq?"
My answer: I am for ending the war in Iraq -- and that won't happen until Saddam Hussein goes.
I know the horrors of war all too well. In 1980, Saddam Hussein invaded Iran, beginning eight years of bombing raids on my hometown of Basra. In 1990, I left for Kuwait, only to witness Iraq's invasion in August. In 1991, I returned home and experienced both the allied bombing assault and the painfully short popular uprising against Saddam.
But I also know that freedom is possible. For one week in March 1991, I saw what it was like to live outside of Saddam's control. As Saddam withdrew from Kuwait, the first President Bush encouraged Iraqis to rise up. We did and, within a few days, liberated most of Iraq's 18 provinces. The secret police state collapsed, and we began to talk openly with our own families and our neighbors. Iraqis celebrated in the streets, freed Saddam's prisoners and volunteered in hospitals. But American help never came, Saddam regrouped, and his state of terror came crashing back down on us.
If the Iraqi people are to have any hope of again experiencing that exhilarating feeling of freedom, the United States needs to make certain that Saddam can no longer terrorize his own people. If America again fails to remove Saddam Hussein from power, the long-term suffering of my people will only continue.
Saddam's war in Iraq has raged for more than 30 years. In 1968, his Baath Party seized power, and Saddam began his climb to become Iraq's dictator. To dominate the country, he has unleashed every known weapon in Iraq's arsenal against his own people -- from tanks to torture chambers to poison gas. The war in Iraq has claimed more than 1million lives and made 4 million refugees.
Saddam employs thousands of secret police and informers throughout the country to turn Iraqis against each other, even within families. On TV, we watched Saddam reward fathers with large cash prizes for turning in sons who had deserted the army.
Even children are not spared. When I attended fourth grade in 1981, my teacher called me to the front of the class and asked: "Do your parents say anything bad about the government?" The whole class was staring at me. Stunned and scared, I answered, "No." But when one of my classmates said in passing that Iran was not so bad, she disappeared the next day, along with her family.
To pass the final exam for ninth grade, Iraqi students must read a speech by the seventh-century governor of Iraq, Al-Hadjadj, who killed 120,000 and jailed tens of thousands. We spent hours memorizing his words: "I see heads that are ripe, and I am the one to pluck them.... O people of Iraq, people of discord and deceit... I will tie you up like a bundle of twigs. I will beat you like stray camels."
The message was clear to all of us: The role of Iraq's leader is to terrorize his people.
For Kurds, an ethnic minority in northern Iraq, this terror has been genocidal. On a recent flight from Cairo to Damascus, I sat next to Shahram Saied, a Kurd who was jailed for four years in a prison outside Baghdad. He was tortured every day and described the shrieks of prisoners held in solitary confinement. After his release, Shahram fled north, only to discover that his family and village had been destroyed. In 1988, Saddam waged a brutal campaign against the Kurds, killing thousands with poison gas; tens of thousands of other civilians disappeared throughout the 1980s.
"Saddam is just playing games with the weapons inspectors," Shahram told me. "People in the West are complaining about the effects of the sanctions. But we don't need food; we need freedom."
When I arrived in Damascus, I met for the first time my great uncle, who was jailed for years by the Iraqi police before being released due to old age. The prison guards hung him by his toes for hours on end. As we sat and talked in his living room, he pulled up his robe to reveal his toes, all deformed and twisted on top of each other.
For three decades, the bodies and minds of Iraqis have been tortured and twisted like my great uncle's toes. To end the war against the Iraqi people, Saddam must go. I say this as someone who has suffered through more than a decade of war -- but also as someone who saw Iraq free from Saddam's rule for one week.
The world has largely forgotten our 1991 uprising, but this event from the past offers a vision of the future. Liberated from the weight of Saddam's terror state, Iraqis will regain their humanity, start to speak openly and instinctively organize a civil society.
