Michael Parenti is "an American political scientist, historian, and cultural critic who writes on scholarly and popular topics." This essay will contain information on his opinions on Why Rulers Seek Global Dominion, The Omnipresent Arsenal, and Target Cuba. Noam Chomsky is “an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, logician, political commentator, and activist.” This essay will contain his views on the corporate takeover of American democracy. The final content of this article will contain information on what the deliberation day is. Why Leaders Seek Global Domination is written by Parenti to open his readers' eyes to the true motivations of political figures. Parenti, throughout his passage, asserts that everything a political figure or a prominent figure comes from an action that is deliberately performed. There is truth in this statement. While the media portrays leaders as “stupid,” these leaders have far more intentions behind their actions than the media actually makes them out to be. As Parenti supports his argument by saying: “The problem becomes crucial when it comes to political leaders, many of whom make it difficult to guess the intentions behind their actions. » One of those cases of actions that not only a politician, but the United States government itself, did with Cuba and which we will talk about later in this essay. The Ubiquitous Arsenal, also written by Michael Parenti, was to show readers how the United States used its military as a scare tactic and how a country is either a satellite country or considered an enemy to them. Parenti says: "The imperial nation conceives only two types of nation...... middle of paper ... older currency without consent. ". Since the companies already had strong influence over American politicians and citizens, these companies formed what is called the CFR, "Council of Foreign Relations." and in this council, current events are discussed and how to bribe a political figure to carry out his orders. The Supreme Court's decision granting businesses human rights allowed them to have the same rights as people, such as freedom. of expression and freedom of the press. Chomsky says in his article that “business leaders “exert power and control over the nation’s wealth and business operations,” thereby becoming “rivals of the government itself.” These companies, which are run by very wealthy and well-known political names such as Bush, Kennedy, Rockefeller, Mellons, Rothchilds, DuPont and JP Morgan, all have great influence around the world..
