biography

Michel Chossudovsky is the son of the Jewish-Russian economist and UN diplomat Evgeny Chossudovsky (born August 15, 1914, † January 4, 2006) and his Irish wife Rachel Chossudovsky, b. Sullivan († 1996). He took a bachelor's degree in economics at the University of Manchester and obtained a diploma in economic planning at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in The Hague. He moved to the University of North Carolina for his dissertation .

In 2003 he received the “Human Rights Prize” from the Society for the Protection of Civil Rights and Human Dignity .

Positions

In the German-speaking countries he became known as an opponent of the US military policy in Asia and the Balkans. This also applies to the Center for Research on Globalization , where he acts as editor. Chossudovsky has also contributed to Le Monde diplomatique , Third World Resurgence and Covert Action Quarterly magazines . He considered the struggle for control of the world monetary system and the creation of money to be a contributory cause of many of today's - armed and economic - conflicts.

He assumes the US has a weapon for a new world order that could bring about climate change and claims it knew about the 2004 tsunami in advance . Anti-Semitic postings on his side had already been criticized in 2006 .

Between 2006 and 2007 Chossudovsky repeatedly accused the USA and Israel of planning a nuclear attack on Iran , or in his words “a nuclear holocaust in the Middle East”.

In 2011, his blog accused President Obama's White House of being just an instrument of the rich and powerful, an attribution previously made only to Republican governments. In 2013, however, the “Democratic Principles” of Venezuela under President Chavez were honored.

In his 2015 book The Globalization of War, America's Long War against Humanity , Chossudovsky put forward the thesis that terrorism was created by the United States in order to expand its hegemony (“Dr Chossudovsky said terrorism is made in the US and that terrorists are not the product of the Muslim world. "). He called ISIS “the foot troops of the western alliance”, the air force attacks by the US as an attempt to destroy Syria and Iraq.

Robert Misik mentioned the site of Globalresearch for the Russian propaganda against Ukraine as a site on which authors from the typical author pool of Voice of Russia are active, who are also active on other websites that claim to be critical of globalization. As an audience he named left opponents of globalization, right-wing muddleheads and friends of conspiracy theory with their tendency to look for “truths” only outside of the so-called mainstream media.

Memberships

Chossudovsky was President of the Canadian Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies. He is also a member of research organizations such as the Committee on Monetary and Economic Reform (COMER), the Geopolitical Drug Watch (OGD) and the International People's Health Council (IPHC).
