Noam Chomsky: Obama Is 'Running Biggest Terrorist Operation That Exists'

Continuing his streak of fiercely criticizing President Obama's foreign policy and civil liberties record, pre-eminent left-wing scholar Noam Chomsky told GRITtv that this administration is "dedicated to increasing terrorism" throughout the world via its own "terrorist" drone strikes in foreign lands. Speaking with GRITtv host Laura Flanders about the National Security Agency snooping scandal, Chomsky remarked that "the Obama administration is dedicated to increasing terrorism; it's doing it all over the world."

He continued: "Obama is running the biggest terrorist operation that exists, maybe in history: the drone assassination campaigns, which are just part of it [...] All of these operations, they are terror operations." Drone strikes are "terror" because, Chomsky said, the attacks have the effect of "terrorizing" locals."

"You are generating more terrorist operations," Chomsky pointedly said. "People have a reaction" when they lose a loved one to an American drone strike, he added. "They don't say, 'Fine, I don't care if my cousin was murdered.' They become what we call terrorists. This is completely understood from the highest level."

He recalled the recent congressional testimony of a Yemeni man named Farea al-Muslimi, who described how a single drone strike managed to "radicalize" his entire village against the United States.

"People hate the country that's just terrorizing them," Chomsky concluded. That's not a surprise. Just consider the way we react to acts of terror. That's the way other people react to acts of terror."

Angela Davis and Assata Shakur's Lawyer Denounce FBI's Adding of Exiled Activist to Terrorist List

One day after the exiled former Black Panther Assata Shakur became the first woman named to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist List, we're joined by another legendary African-American activist, Angela Davis, as well as Shakur's longtime attorney, Lennox Hinds. Davis, a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, is the subject of the recent film, "Free Angela & All Political Prisoners." She argues that the FBI's latest move, much like its initial targeting of Shakur and other Black Panthers four decades ago, is politically motivated. "It seems to me that this act incorporates or reflects the very logic of terrorism," Davis says. "I can't help but think that it's designed to frighten people who are involved in struggles today. Forty years ago seems like it was a long time ago. In the beginning of the 21st century, we're still fighting around the very same issues -- police violence, health care, education, people in prison." A professor of Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, Hinds has represented Shakur since 1973. "This is a political act pushed by the state of New Jersey, by some members of Congress from Miami, and with the intent of putting pressure on the Cuban government and to inflame public opinion," Hinds says. "There is no way to appeal someone being put on the terrorist list."
