There is a force/power greater than our comprehension.  I have no doubt about this.  Something created everything.

America has wronged the whole of humanity with their imperial expansionist interventionist genocidal foreign policies, it's illegal wars, it's destruction of democracy, it's disgusting use of propaganda, it's destruction of the legal system and justice, it's promotion of greed and immorality, it's lust for power and wealth at the expense of the disenfranchised and weak, it's complete disregard for human rights, it's stark hypocrisy, it's lack of compassion, empathy or regard for those they kill, rape and generally trample all over for reasons that can only be regarded as sociopathic, it's promotion of the elites and vilification of the poor, it's introduction of mainstream terrorism and fear to implement fascist polices and to top it all off it's overt covering up of it's atrocities by silencing whistle blowers and using the media to misinform and distract the public from the important issues and cover up there crimes.  Australians hate America, it's just our weak as piss politicians who have become puppets in Americas attempt to take over the world.  America has exported nothing but terror, hopelessness, fear, lies, propaganda and trash TV.  Fuck America.
If you're confused by these two little words, you've come to the right place. (Not that there aren't other right places.)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's is a contraction for it is or it has.

Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, more or less, of it or belonging to it.

And there is absolutely, positively, no such word as its'.

A simple test
If you can replace it[']s in your sentence with it is or it has, then your word is it's; otherwise, your word is its.

Another test
Its is the neuter version of his and her. Try plugging her into your sentence where you think its belongs. If the sentence still works grammatically (if not logically) then your word is indeed its.

Examples
It's been good to know you. Contraction: it has
It's a bird! It's a plane! Contraction: it is

The dodo bird is known for its inability to fly. Possessive pronoun: its inability = the dodo bird's inability

Are you fucking kidding, this is GETBIG if I was to quote facts of the infinite list of Shit America has been pulling for the past half century to get to the point where they are now, I would have to sit on my laptop 24/7.  I have tired of posting facts here on Getbig, if you truly doubt any of my tirade or accusations, look for yourself, I don't care.  You mentioned Noam Chomsky, stop being a lazy cun+ and read some of his works: Class Warfare, Necessary Illusions, Occupied Media, You are being lied to, Anarachism, marxism & the hope for the future, Hegemony or survival, Pirates and Emperors, Fateful Triangle, Year 501, The Conquest continue, The Prosperous few and the restless many, Keeping the Rabble in Line, Secrets, Lies and Democracy, What Uncles Sam really wants the list goes on and on of available material from Noam on what a POS the USA has become, Noam just too polite and also afraid to put it the way I do.


Chomsky's work on politics is really rather mundane and represents a recapitulation of Marxist theories of international politics. You can find a good explanation of such theories in a book like:



They fill a nice gap in the political science literature, viz., the lack of any substantive attempt to measure the influence of corporations on public policy. But they have their problems and there are plenty of observations they cannot explain. Just because Chomsky writes and speaks with absolute confidence on the matter does not mean he is a prophet.

Chomsky's real insights are in linguistics and even philosophy. He interfaced with the big names in analytic philosophy of the 20th century (e.g., Quine, Putnam, Kripke) and knows more about the subject than many Phd's these days. Here is an interview where we get to see his analytic chops in action:
