  • Chomsky had it right in the 60s. He co authored this book in 80s. and finally, 2011-2012, OWS, people realize who control their politicians and media.

  • One of the jewyest jewnoses in america! Silverstein did WTC, don't miss the "big picture"

  • Very interesting, thank you for this video.

  • This is true today. A few rich secret people have access to do what they want.

  • Zionists only appear to be extremely powerful because their interests in the region are roughly the same with the American establishment, and they have developed an economy mostly based on Military-Industry. That is an obviously very mutually beneficial relationship in the eyes of establishment figures of both States.

    Chomsky has talked about his activity in the Zionist movement in both print and on television. It shouldn't be that hard to find

  • What's the year on this film? Looks perhaps early-1980s.

  • @CollegeSmart1 1992. The original book co-authored with Ed Herman and Chomsky's Necessary Illusions and Manufacturing Consent lectures at the universities were 1988-89. The whole thing for both lectures are on Youtube as well :)

  • I'm surprised Chomsky is still alive...usually they'd kill someone like him as they'd see him a threat...very intelligent man. Zionists are those dominating the US, get rid of them and America should be saved!

  • Do you realize that saying that one relatively small minority (Jews) of people conspiratorially control entire societies, and the subsequent mass-murder that epitomized that prevailing thought, is what caused the Zionist movement to begin with? Did you for instance know that Noam Chomsky was heavily active in the early Zionist movement?

    It's comments like yours that proves Lippmann's point.

  • @JimmyeDallas Jackass I said zionists NOT Jews, big difference! And I'd like to know where you got your resources from that indicate Chomsky been heavily active in such movements -_-

  • Not really a big difference at all. Zionism is still popularly supported by most Jews, and Christian Dispensationalism plays a relatively insignificant role in actual policy implementation. Zionism, in the eyes of the American establishment, is a much desired tool for preserving their hegemonic power in the Middle East. All of Israel's wars since 1967 have needed the consent of the United States.

  • Why does Chomsky care about the dumb 80% of America?

  • @1844Freddy Because that 80% has the full intention of sucking his brains down through his asshole so his brains look like their brains and if you have any affinity for Chomsky or his ideas they want you too.

  • @1844Freddy Probably because he cares for America.

  • @1844Freddy

    Because the remaining 20 percent is being indoctrinated as well

  • @SUpersaiyajinjerkbag Excellent point.

  • Chomsky's thought is undermined by 2 basic errors: altruism, and collectivism. He makes the error of thinking that altruism is moral (an unproven, and, as it turns out, false assumption).  Morality, on the contrary, is based solely on adherence to sound (i.e. true) philosophical principles. And he makes the error of thinking that collectivism is somehow a justification for action: i.e., that majority can trump morality. An erroneous notion, which in fact underlies most totaliatrian logic.

  • Noam Chomsky the conspiracy theorist, is full fo sheit. This guy is a libguistic, why does he think he has the knowledge to speak on sociological and political issues, he obviously has no clue about.

  • @Nullsleep Because he's possibly the greatest psycholinguist of the 20th century? It's impossible to read a psychology of language book from the past 30 years that didn't include his theories and work in detail.

  • @Nullsleep Why don`t you go speak in his place then? One man, such as Chomsky, has every right to talk to what ever he wants. u mad cause your ignorant?

  • @Valdris1987 I fear his audience would be too stupid for me

  • Only a true genius could compare and explain the profound differences in our different wars through the decades, explain the anti-movement's positive effects on lessening inhumane, horrific war acts, generally speaking, and offering the inciteful, and accurate perspective, as only Noam does.

  • OBAMA couls learn a lot from this man.

  • @firefox8192

    did you mean ghouls, like zombies

    obama's mindless army..

  • I have quite a lot of respect for Chomsky's political work (his linguistic stuff i don't know), although i do not agree with some of his political ideology. But his criticism is right on, it's rational, precise and he covers how our society is conducted. His conclusions would usually go to the conspiracy corner and be conveniently laughed at if it wasn't for his careful research. So he's helping a lot of legitimate researchers and commentators who are dismissed as conspiracy theorists.

  • I like this guy!

  • a news being regulated for the interest of few is no news. though it cannot be avoided regulating the news, they can at least not lie or give illusions to support few elite persons...

    people ought to know what is true, no matter how hard it can be to accept.

  • Comment removed

  • I've seen this before and read a little about him, mainly online but what brought me back was the recent Supreme Court ruling that pits Free Speech against the Federal Election Commission. This is the advent of part and parcel of Chomsky's politics that at least one poster to the first video failed to call socialist but all but suggested as much. IMO, Citizen's United may be a non profit but they are a corporation ......why the hair splitting.....

  • Can someone explain his statement, "private control of resources?"

  • @amartin7889 : resources as in water, land, forests and even air etc.. The main issue is the pirvitization of resources we (as a community) need and depend on. Their interest means: the powerful all have the same interest: to make money. These two things creates a conflict. For instance: bottling water and selling it to the people who own that same water and having no say in how to control that water. One example, but Noam expands furthur.

  • @maryomango

    So the State owns the water, and we are left on the whim of elected officials?

  • funny to watch people running around with strange hats. who has created this silly university fashion anyway?

  • Silly university fashion was begun by a designer named Frank Blamworth, a short, dispeptic Romanian-Albanian Muslim who left his native land at the age of 12 years, 6 months and three days in order to asssume the position of gas station toilet attendent in the town of Fromwick, Texas, eventually working his way up to cashier. As cashier Blamworth designed clothes in his spare moments & organized a show of his hat couture at the gas station eventually earning him praise from the local newspaper.

  • @bapyou what university fashion? Are you saying Chomsky's thoughts are just a fashion? I mean, if you really look at things (and just look at people in our society) everything is becoming automatic and practically instinctual. Consumption, political attitudes, even the teachers in school (even College) basically constantly propagate to others the same constant views that avoid the problems and continue to mislead other people to flawed conclusions about fixing the society and being humane...

  • @Bodhidharma1986

    "what university fashion? Are you saying Chomsky's thoughts are just a fashion?"

    Not at all. My comment from 9 months ago was a complete joke. Read through it. It's meant to be an absurdist comment on (probably) something that was said in this clip from MC. Most likely I was in a silly mood when writing it.

    I'm a huge Chomsky fan. Most of what he has to say is challenging and timeless.

    Best.

  • It's like listening to Henry Kissinger chat up a woman in the lounge bar of some airport.

  • one of the smartest men in america

  • @Raford146 correction one of the smartest men in not only the world, but the entire history of it

  • @Raford146 I voted you up, but almost voted you down for the qualification.

  • It is a fact that corporations are the real rulers of our countries. Like Chomsky says, a group could really change this, mostly made of intellectuals. The problem is that intellectuals nowadays, instead of fulfilling their original role in illuminating the public, debating and rebutting mainstream opinion, like Chomsky does, most of them find it more convenient to sit back comfortably & accept things as they are.

  • I agree. It's very difficult for intellectuals to counteract the pr campaign given that the media is doing an excellent job. The media is "denegrating" intellectuals by labeling them athiest and immoral as if both go hand in hand, thus, not to be trusted.

  • I agree corporations are the real rulers, but they are blending in with government, for example, goldman saches 'ex' employers now working for the government dealing with financial issues. And we all know who they are really serving.

  • corporations use the government as a diversion to distract people. think about it- corporations run our society, but when the average joe gets upset, he doesn't get upset at dow chemical or boeing, he gets mad at the government.

    the government today is little more than the entertainment branch of industry.

  • @Mplsgerb Dunno what this has to do with anything. His analysis of the media is simplistic and compared to lets say that of Niklas Luhmann

  • Chomsky is a "cool observer" as he mentioned. He's a truly intelligent man.
