Professor Noam Chomsky: US – A Top Terrorist State!

• US lawlessness fuels global insecurity! 
  by Finian Cunningham, http://www.presstv.ir/ 
  In an insightful geopolitical speech this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the US of instigating global instability and insecurity.
  –
  As if to underline Putin’s point was the backdrop of major news stories during recent days: the national security alert that gripped Canada over the killing of two military personnel in Ottawa and Quebec; the near panic in New York City over an Ebola disease outbreak; and the Swedish hunt for a mystery submarine in its territorial waters.
  –
  To say that there was over-reaction in each instance is an understatement. But the disproportionate public response reflects the atmosphere of global insecurity that the US and other Western governments have engendered. The stoking of insecurity has partly been cynical as a way of manipulating the public into accepting greater state control measures or to promote a geopolitical agenda.
  –
  This was clearly the case in Canada, where the rightwing government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper framed the two deaths as a full-blown national terror alert, thus invoking more state powers over the public while at the same time justifying the recent deployment of Canadian military forces in the illegal US-led bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria.
  –
  When the public has been whipped up into a fervour of insecurity, all sorts of irrational reactions can then become possible, as in the widespread anxiety over the Ebola disease that has broken out in West Africa. One or two cases of infection in the US and Europe has created a stampede-like fear of a pandemic – despite the fact that patients, such as the Dallas nurse, can be successfully treated with adequate medical care.
  –
  That stampede also obscures credible claims by Liberian plant pathology Professor Cyril Broderick that the disease may have originated from clandestine American military bio-warfare experiments that were being funded by the Pentagon in Sierra Leone involving the development of hemorrhagic viruses.
  –
  Then there was the Swedish navy “hunt for Red October” – the presumed Russian submarine that had allegedly entered Sweden’s territorial waters in the Baltic Sea earlier this week. The Stockholm government did not name Russia, but that did not stop Western media pointing the blame at the Kremlin. Why that anti-Russian drama should take off – on the basis of no evidence – is due to months of non-stop US-led Western media narrative that attributes the crisis in Ukraine to “Moscow’s aggression.”
  –
  US President Barack Obama, the State Department and Pentagon have been continuously warning Europe of imminent Russian expansionism and threat to their sovereignty. And spineless European leaders have gullibly bought into it, hook line and sinker, increasing military expenditure on the US-dominated NATO alliance and slapping economic sanctions on Russia, thus creating the worst standoff in relations since the end of the Cold War. Any rational person can see this to be a fiction at odds with the reality of US and European meddling in the internal affairs of Ukraine, which culminated in an illegal coup d’état in February this year and has resulted in all subsequent unrest.
