UNDERSTANDING POWER
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Power Fact Sheets is to serve as a quick study of the book - “UNDERSTANDING POWER: The Indispensable Chomsky” by Noam Chomsky et al. © 2002, a tool to TALK your WALK. Key points from this book are grouped into categories on these fact sheets.
Understand that the current Society Power Structure DESIGN is for Lies, War and Oppression.
· With that understanding one can then choose how to live.
As you live through these evolutionary & historic times, you will need to take a public stand and choose your voice to support either WAR or PEACE. You can no longer remain silent. In order for you to arrive at your decision, you will need a clear understanding and analysis of the current power structure. And toward that end, the purpose of these fact sheets is to provide you a summary of the current power structure of society and its design to fabricate lies, war and oppression and will continue - until it is changed for peace and justice.
Noam Chomsky is American’s leading intellectual political thinker. If more People could ‘get’ the eye-popping insights of Noam’s incredible mind, it would help to light the fire of Freedom for People and the Liberation of Human Creativity. So, to speed up spreading the word & the knowledge contained in that book, I organized and condensed key points from that 400-page book into one two sided Fact Sheet! These fact sheets have been approved by Noam Chomsky and his publisher. Readers are highly encouraged to check out the book on Amazon.
FACT SHEET EXTRACTS:
“Any state, any state, has a primary enemy: its own population….you have to keep the population obedient and passive.” - - Noam Chomsky
"John Jay/Constitutional Convention leader - his favorite maxim was, ‘The people who OWN the country ought to GOVERN it’- that’s the principle on which the United States was founded..” - - Noam Chomsky
Today, the rich “share a definite class interest, still control the government institutions, both the parliament and the Executive, while the general population remains highly dispersed, separated, fragmented so they’re unable to unite together to identify and press their interests.” - - Noam Chomsky
SUMMARY
The People of the world represent the second superpower in opposition to the first superpower – the United States and coalition leaders supporting war.

Get the big picture to understand the truths and opportunities of your space and time. Then you can decide how to participate to SHIFT the POWER and redirect the U.S. to POWER PEOPLE 1st - inside and outside the U.S. .
