Freedom in this world is fragile. Even in the country that claims to be the nurturer of freedoms and the title of democracy, the people there do not rule and they are not free.

The people are ruled by a government that leads it from victory to victory, even if that victory means the destruction and ruin of all other countries.

The media, this false trumpet, is a tool in the hands of the government with no opinion of its own, like a fictional Matilda or Santa Claus.

It also seems that there is no revolution except with the permission and consent of the American government.

The translation was wonderful and the addition of the writer was not too much, but it's okay.

I think it's his right (to come up with his thoughts in a few words) so that he can rest.

This situation calls for a closer examination of the true nature of freedom and democracy in our world today. Are they really what they are supposed to be? Or are they just façades hiding the true power dynamics and interests at play? We need to question and demand real change to ensure that freedom and democracy are not just empty words but a reality for all people.

The folly of American politics does not end.

It seems that the United States, with its complex political system and power struggles, is constantly陷入困境.

The two-party system, which is supposed to provide a balance of power, often leads to gridlock and inefficiency.

Politicians are more concerned with their own interests and those of their parties than with the well-being of the country and its people.

This has resulted in a lack of leadership and a failure to address important issues such as healthcare, education, and climate change.

The American people are growing increasingly frustrated with the political establishment and are demanding change.

However, it remains to be seen whether the politicians will be able to put aside their differences and work together for the common good.

Only time will tell if the folly of American politics can be overcome.

After the end of World War II, the United States emerged as the sole superpower with no equal competitor. It took advantage of this position to impose its strategic plans for global political, economic, and financial domination. The Bretton Woods institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, as well as the United Nations Security Council, are all under the absolute control of the United States.

The United States uses these institutions to promote its own interests and maintain its global hegemony. It often干涉 other countries' internal affairs under the pretext of maintaining international order and promoting democracy. This has led to widespread dissatisfaction and opposition from the international community.

In recent years, with the rise of emerging economies and the diversification of the international political格局, the United States' global hegemony has been challenged. However, the United States still refuses to give up its hegemonic thinking and continues to pursue its own interests at the expense of others. This will only lead to more conflicts and instability in the international community.

Chomsky is a highly influential figure, and this article provides a great introduction to him. It also delves into the layers of indoctrination that were formed during my primary and secondary education in the United States. The material specifically focuses on Central America and Southeast Asia, which is extremely beneficial for those who have had little exposure to these regions. What I truly appreciate is that it is written in a highly accessible style. This means that even my 18-year-old brother now has no valid excuse not to read it. It presents complex ideas in a way that is easy to understand and engage with, making it suitable for a wide range of readers. Overall, this article serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about Chomsky and the issues he addresses.

The book provides a quick look at the style of the American leader - who does not represent his people - in intimidating other peoples and the things he is willing to do for his material interests, such as the caricature of cartridges and the destruction of peoples and the purchase of governments.... It also shows the true meaning of the democracy he practices....

This description paints a rather negative picture of the American leader. It implies that his actions are not in line with the values that are supposed to be associated with leadership. Instead of representing the people, he seems to be focused on his own gain.

The mention of intimidating other peoples and engaging in actions like the caricature of cartridges and the destruction of peoples is quite concerning. These actions can have far-reaching consequences and can damage international relations.

Additionally, the idea of "purchasing governments" suggests a lack of integrity and a willingness to use underhanded methods to achieve his goals.

Overall, the description in the book seems to be a critique of the American leader's style and actions, highlighting the need for a more ethical and responsible approach to leadership.

The uncle Sam in the famous sentence from the American TV series "Bones" wants to express what he wants. The sentence goes like this: "What are we going to do today, Bren? We try to take over the world...". This simple sentence reveals a kind of ambition and goal. It shows that the characters in the story have a big plan in mind, which is to control the world. Maybe this is just a fictional plot in the TV series, but it also reflects a certain aspect of human nature. People always have various desires and pursuits, and sometimes these desires can drive us to do great things. However, we also need to be aware that our actions should be within the bounds of morality and the law. We cannot achieve our goals at the expense of others or the environment.

The book consists of two parts.

The first part: by Noam Chomsky. And the second part: by teacher Adel.

Chomsky presents to us a plan that was put forward after World War II and was agreed upon by the great politicians and businessmen in the United States, which they called "the great arena" and it includes the expansion of American hegemony over the countries of the world and their wealth.

Through the incitement of wars and the support of revolutionary and insurgent groups and the control of natural resources and energy fields in the Gulf and the Middle East.

It started with the control of energy fields in the Middle East. Then the Vietnam War. And the fight against fascism in Italy. And interference in elections. And the entry of the American army into the Korean and Japanese wars. Then came the turn of Central and South America in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Chile, Honduras, El Salvador, and Gaza. And Iran in 1953.

And the interference in the 1965 Indonesian coup and the massacre that 700,000 people fell victim to.

No one was spared from the blows of American tyranny.

And one man came and was called "George Kennan" to put forward the idea of supporting Japan and building it.

"I think from a legal point of view that there is evidence to accuse all American presidents since the end of World War II. That they are war criminals."

Military force was no longer the only solution, so they created the "International Monetary Fund" and the "World Bank".

And with this, they lend to countries in exchange for imposing the policy of "economic liberation", that is, controlling it, and it is a policy that aims to divide society into a rich minority and a deprived and poor majority.

And by imposing its diplomacy, the United States achieved its main goals in the Gulf, the Middle East, Africa, and East Asia.

This is to achieve its interests and the interests of its ally, Britain, the hidden hand in everything, big and small.

The history of the United States of America, despite its brevity, has a record that is only preceded by Hitler and Stalin in violating human rights inside and outside America.

This book, despite its brevity, must be read again.

Noam Chomsky talked about his country's foreign policy and its dealings with the countries under its umbrella or what is called by some "the Third World countries". He mentioned some examples of dictatorships that the politicians in America or all of them, such as Saddam Hussein, Suharto, and Milosevic, have suffered. And he mentioned the meanings of some fashionable terms that serve the ideology of the powerful (war is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength).

Points summarizing the author's ideas in the book.

• The United States' policy in the Third World: We oppose the democracy with fanaticism and perseverance if its results are beyond our control. And the problem with real democracies is that they are vulnerable to falling freely into the area that claims that governments should respond to the interests of their peoples instead of the interests of American investors.

• There is no degree of cruelty that dictators and Washington will not stop at. As for the educated class, it has learned enough to turn its eyes in another direction.

• It has now become necessary to discover the truth that the main enemy in the Third World is getting out of line.

A lovely book

It mentions some political situations where the United States dealt with small countries such as "El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, Vietnam, Iraq". There are contradictions between the claims of principles and the reality. How America intervened in the internal affairs of countries and how it destroyed others with the minds of their peoples.

I hope that whoever reads the book will take it as an explanation of things, not that America is the devil and evil.

It is just a country like any other country that defends its interests. It is just a little richer and a little stronger.

"Power creates and defends rights."

The whole book is about 60 pages, but the translator, may God bless him, took 40 pages alone.

This book offers a concise critique of U.S. hegemony and is part of a series of smaller-scale books that Chomsky has published.

I highly appreciate this book for its topical nature and brevity. It serves as an excellent starting point or introduction for anyone who has not yet delved into Noam Chomsky's body of work.

The author's incisive analysis provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of U.S. power and its impact on the global stage.

Despite its relatively short length, the book manages to cover a wide range of important issues, making it accessible to a broad audience.

Whether you are a student, a researcher, or simply someone interested in understanding the world we live in, this book is well worth reading.

It offers a thought-provoking perspective that challenges conventional wisdom and encourages further exploration of the subject matter.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a concise and engaging introduction to the topic of U.S. hegemony and the work of Noam Chomsky.

I can't imagine our Arab citizen in the midst of this political turmoil not having read Noam Chomsky...


This man doesn't just write about the hypocritical policies of the United States. His critiques are capable of tripping up any government's policies, regardless of which category they fall into.


To the extent that the writer may give you a headache and nausea, to that extent he will make you more aware


and more informed about the elements of politics (power, money, and the media).


For this is a reality that we must constantly remind ourselves of how bad it is.
