'In Prison My Whole Life' Noam Chomsky l Interview Pt 4

[bozolazic]

Noam is almost always right!

[TheGlitzieGirl1]

Unfotunately, brightwide has closed down :((( I have no idea why, it was only 2 years old and you would have thought it would have had more life in it. But the good news is that Mumia is off death row.

[toseeornot2see]

I met him a few months ago and he is such a nice person. Not only was he happy to share his views with me, but also to hear mine.

LOL I actually had to shut myself up, because I thought I was talking too much in in front of him. Not that he minded, but I was afraid that I might waste a lot of time speaking, instead of learning from him. As sycophantic as I sound, I don't know how else to put it.

[slckr80s]

Thanks 4 upload but where the heck are the other parts?

[32peartree]

If an innocent person is executed - should the guards that executed him be executed for his murder. Furthermore, should the sentencing Judge convict himself for being an accessory?

[Spillers72]

In the US, the state can not kill anyone unless a jury reccommends it. Jury are made up of citizens. Plus only murder under certain circumstances even qualify as a capital crime, so the state can't use it to scare the general population.

[vidfreak56]

OH so the state shouldnt have the power? So that should be left in the hands of private individuals? LOL whats the difference?

[burtonchalmersnumb1]

@vidfreak56 one is true democracy, the other is dictorial.

[vidfreak56]

@burtonchalmersnumb1 Private power cant be democratic because its not the "peoples power". A "true" democracy, or rule by the people (not a majority democracy, but a consensus democracy) isnt possible w/ private, non-public goals. If one person controls something privately and that control is enforced by a private militia, then how is that not dictatorial? Private power and state power can certianly be very similar and even, in the end, establish the same effect on the society it oversees.

[burtonchalmersnumb1]

@vidfreak56 When i say true democracy or even democracy for that matter, i mean the actual definition, which you state as "consensus democracy". i relate this to "private" as in private individuals make up the public and it's this seperation that creates the manifistation of a concensus democracy. Not private as in private interests, which is the same in nature as state control.

[DMChoreographer]

@vidfreak56 Private indudiuals porivately vote. Often woith out all of the facts needed to make sound decisions. Which is what we have had for a very long time. A near total blackout of what is going on behind closed door deals, that affect our every day lives, our econmoy, etc.

[vidfreak56]

@DMChoreographer But thats often no different than state power. Private people can vote for others jobs, whether they get hc or not, wages, and even who gets land. Sound decision or not it still effects everyone around them. Same w/ state decisions.

[DMChoreographer]

@vidfreak56 yes, I know. We live on a prison planet. The masons and the illuminati make sure of that. their puppets do as they are told.

[Youtubist007]

I hate seeing some snobbish, filthy, greenhorn journalist turning one of the greatest intellectual, a living legend into a joke. I think he should give less interview but write more books.

[DystopianEmpire01]

Organic farming is antiquated, but we all know it's much better for us and the environment.

What is your solution then?

[s0673451]

@DystopianEmpire01 i meant the death penalty. Have a look at a map of the countries that still sanction it. The US is in some fine* company.

[DystopianEmpire01]

@s0673451 Of course you meant the death penalty, that was the point, gold star for you for keeping track of the subject.

But you did'nt answer my question, or even approach it. Think for yourself,

[DystopianEmpire01]

I have to disagrre with Noam insofar as, repeat offenders of violent crime like rape and murder should be put to death without appeal for the public good.

[s0673451]

@DystopianEmpire01 well you can have your view, but i have to tell you, from europe, it sounds pretty barbaric and antiquated.

[dailydols]

Listen to Chomsky, he is a bright man who knows a lot and he is VERY well read. But don`t take him as your guru!!! Take his advice, but think for yourself.

[matt301273]

Can we all club together to get Noam a new sweater? He's been wearing that same one in every interview for the past 5 years.

[S2Cents]

@matt301273 Chomsky has a nice burgundy sweater as well. See Conversations w/ History on u-tube ;-)

[alex871uk]

If noone is learning about COINTELPRO in the harvard kennedy school of government then where exactly do the planners of imperial domination learn their trade?

[deceiver123m]

@alex871uk The members of the ancient religions... now found in fragments, freemasons, skull and bones, catholic jesuits etc...

[deceiver123m]

@alex871uk The members of these ancient religions guard the secrets behind their global control.

[watayapupuya]

@deceiver123m

I guess your referring to American Christian fundamentalists.

[deceiver123m]

@watayapupuya Nope, the freemasons, rose & cross, the skull and bones, scroll and key, knights templar... those are whom i am referring to. And they are not christian by any means, they worship only Lucifer and strive for a single world government. You think the royal's use the schools like Oxford, which they use to train their puppet politicians, to train their own offspring. Come on now, they have their own education as elites... just like any Prince, or Knight, they have special teachers etc.

[corcaighrebel]

so fortunate to have met him.

[Xenu]

Where is Part I to III?

[peaceful0tiger]

I agree to the well educated mark on the death penalty,

Civilized socieites don't allow the state to have the power to kill people.

[hudo338]

@peaceful0tiger or countrys for that matter

[blinger7]

@peaceful0tiger

better kill them on birth..

[Martial024]

@peaceful0tiger Bullshit, so we put them in cages like wild animals for up to 60 years for some? Because that is "humane" right?

States have the right to kill people, people have the right to kill people. Locking dangerous people in cages does nothing more than keep a hazard locked away ready to escape or attack a guard and or fellow inmate.

Why don't you bleeding hearts go guard the worst of them before you talk about this subject. Put YOUR life at risk then come talk about not killing.

[fede2]

@Martial024 "Bullshit, so we put them in cages like wild animals for up to 60 years for some? Because that is 'humane' right?"

better not to generalize all crimes as that, don't you think? if it must come to it there is always the option of life sentence. worry for your safety does not extend to a claim on a person's life if safety can be ensured without murder. fear is no excuse to throw all standards of liberty and peaceful coexistence out the window. that's how you get tyrrany.

[thekkl]

@peaceful0tiger You're not keeping the state from being able to control those it doesn't like by removing the death penalty.

Nicely done. Is there more? If so, post away! :)
