[Peace] The New Anti-Semitism on Chomsky & Friends, tonight at 6pm

[C. G. Estabrook]

At 6pm this evening, May 16, WEFT (90.1 FM) will present an occasional
program entitled "Chomsky and Friends," hosted by yours truly.  It
consists of talks and discussion in the spirit of Noam Chomsky, a mordant
critic of US government policy. The topic of tonight's program is "The New
Anti-Semitism." It will include comments by Chomsky, Alexander Cockburn
and others.  --CGE

  ========================================================
  The beauty of the democratic systems of thought control,
  as contrasted with their clumsy totalitarian counterparts,
  is that they operate by subtly establishing on a voluntary basis
  -- aided by the force of nationalism and media control by
  substantial interests -- presuppositions that set the limits
  of debate, rather than by imposing beliefs with a bludgeon.
  Then let the debate rage; the more lively and vigorous it is,
  the better the propaganda system is served, since the presuppositions
  (U.S. benevolence, lack of rational imperial goals, defensive posture,
  etc.) are more firmly established.  Those who do not accept the
  fundamental principles of state propaganda are simply excluded
  from the debate (or if noticed, dismissed as "emotional,"
  "irresponsible," etc.).  --Noam Chomsky
