When Elites Fail, Part Two

[lynnegordon]

Why is Noam such a TROLL magnet? Wherever he speaks the TROLLS rush in and before he can complete a thought, they begin naysaying! lol

The truth of the matter is that Noam is a very intelligent and very astute man. He has been right in every single book that I've read of his. His history is the exact same as I remember it because I was there too.

If you want to learn something about Noam, get a copy of a little red book called, "Media Control". 58 pages, you can read it in a single night.

Not true - the JCS wanted to send more troops to Vietnam and Johnson refused, not the other way around.

Chomsky's revisionist history is cute, but it's not really valid.

@babayabadabadu This guy is an idiot. I don't even want to type his name. Even his name sounds stupid lol.

[FarhadTv]

That is the structure of the institutions that we live in. You don't take part in that frame work of thinking, you are not part of it - you are out.

[davidlanham99]

This guy is always wrong, all the time. No one's trying to undermine a market, what a goofy, useless way to look at advertising. That doesn't even mean anything, it's gibberish. Everything he says is gibberish.

[DeePhlat]

@davidlanham99 To assess whether this is a goofy way to look at advertising, I suggest reading the essays of Edward Bernays, the father of public relations.

[TheDrunkenTrooper]

Chomsky for president!!!

[Cabronosidad]

Great Britain: the loyal lackey of America. Perfectly put!

[jon780249]

thanks for posting this. Chomsky is illuminating as always.

[DonJulioBlanco2002]

This started out good but went downhill when he started rehashing his Vietnam stuff again for the 10,000th time.

[pvisserandorra]

Now everyone sits on their ass and watches TV, while two wars go on. No critique at all.

[SillySantaHat]

Noam Chomsky isn't even real. He is merely a figment of our collective imagination. The desire for serious change is so strong that this image manifested itself in the public consciousness. It is time for a wake-up call. The others are dead. Noam Chomsky is perhaps our final hope. 5807 viewers as I watch this. Sad, sad state of affairs. Dancing Cat has 356 million views. I guess this shows where our priorities lay.

[Ryukikon]

@SillySantaHat

If that is the case then promote it. If you do not like that this video doesn't have enough views, promote it. Put it on Myspace, Put it on Facebook, and upload it yourself. Send it to your friends. 5, 807 people all knowing ten friends on SNS is 58,070 people reached. Its simple math. people say its too long break it up, then send it to them again when you feel the time is right. Don't complain about the number of people, do something to change the status. your smart

[sgpquek]

brilliant and respect

[dontliethetruth]

a breath of fresh air! from an 80-year old... jeez the world is in bad shape

[ase010]

Its all about the games music, playing that same song. That language can be a virus. Don't be trapped in this game. Play another song!

[rubbixxcube]

thanks for this - had looked for video or audio a while back and couldn't find any

[Xenu]

Thanks for posting. Was the Q & A recorded.

[Tuppington]

blah blah blah.. this guy is boring. I think I'll see what's on FOX news and open up Sarah Palin's new book

[AntonBatey]

@Tuppington

lol!!

[tarnopol]

Yeah, facts and argumentation does tend to make a Palin bot's head hurt. Better to worship The Dear Leader. She'll tell you what to do and how to think, though it'd come across more honestly if she said it in the original German.

[aplatt65]

@tarnopol Palin's an idiot. The Nazis at least were smart. The Nazi comparisons are just old man. You can do better.

[SUpersaiyajinjerkbag]

@aplatt65

Yeah but the nazis had to appeal to an educated populace (germany), where Palin had to appeal to blind arrogant losers (american women)

[nmryda]

@SUpersaiyajinjerkbag I just totally LMAOed!

[Ryukikon]

@aplatt65

Nazi comparisons are not old and in any case why not use it because its old. Thats better, more people know about it. You wouldn't talk to the world about a moral point and expect across the board understand with a story just came out yesterday or five minutes ago. No, you would take something old that everyone knows and use it to show your moral point. New things aren't always better things and in many cases it is not logical to use something new.

[SillySantaHat]

@tarnopol You better be nice, or else the mama grizzlies will get you.

[daveruda]

Chomsky deliver again! Very interesting stuff! Thanks

[tdreamgmail]

That's one sliver away from reading "This thread delivers". I assume all the people that ranked up dave's comment are the same ingrats that downranked tuppington's comment. It's true that American's are least likely to pick up sarcasm, especially on paper.

Interesting is hardly an adjective I would use to describe his speech. Interesting in knowing that the toilet swirls in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere than the north...
