Noam Chomsky: Manufacturing Dissent 1/2

Chomsky's comments on the 9/11 Truth movement are full of surprising statements and bizarre non sequiturs. Find out more about the ways in which Chomsky is attempting to limit dissent by dismissing the concerns of a growing percentage of the population who no longer believe the official government-approved conspiracy theory about 9/11.

Chomsky s overall point is that conspiracy theory's ultimately serve more as a distraction away from potential activists using there energy to create change through tried and tested methods.

No conspiracy accusation in recent history has contributed much to social progress or revolution...

If you don't pay attention to what there doing wrong RIGHT NOW you'll miss it...

I was halfway interested in this until I heard him say "9/11 truth movement" I watched the ENTIRE chomsky take on 9/11. His reasonsing seemed much more credible than any garbage i've heard from the 9/11 truthers

The Conspiracy Is That Youtube Doesn't Want People To Watch This Video. "An Error Occurred. Please Try Again (Never)."

doesn't work the video. can't see anything, no matter how many days pass

I'm sorry "truthers" but you do not sway me. Conspiracy theory indulgence can be dangerous because paranoia isn't the same thing as rational skepticism. I see little difference between those who swallow everything that comes from Fox, CNN or the White House and those who think that Alex Jones is the new messiah. Theoretically, I could easily be a conspiracy theorist, make some theories, have a radio show, write a book or two and swindle your cash right out of your wallet as well.

@adamboots1

Right; and we can see through the Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama administrations how the tried and tested methods work.

And after all, why could it be of any interest to activists in uncovering a coup d'etat in America with JFK's death or a preemptive assassination with RFK's?

Plus how much exactly does Chomsky know about the facts of these cases?

He is too in love with his own structuralist analysis.

Check out Michael Parenti.

This is... ridiculous. If you do even a little research into what Chomsky says, you'll find there's never been a public figure speaking more truth. It is... AMAZING the lengths some people will go to in order to feel cozy in their ignorance.

@adamboots1 Thank God someone was able to put the words as I would have wanted it to be.

why do you truthers keep crying free fall speed free fall speed. When there is good evidence to the contrary. In every photo and every video, you can see columns far outpacing the collapse of the building. Not only are the columns falling faster than the building but they are also falling faster than the debris cloud which is ALSO falling faster than the building. This proves the buildings fell well below free fall speed.

Actually mr. Chomsky is to my knowledge the best person advocating radical social change. He is constantly telling people to organize. He would very much like to see institutional changes in the society, like institutional changes in corporations, educational system, and political organizatinos. What are you guys doing? You have fretting on little details of how the buildings might not have fallen on their own. How will this change anything. Think about it.

[anonymity11]

You are missing some points. Chomsky said that even if 9-11 was an inside job then it wouldn't be anything new because the united states govt. commited massive atrocities in the past, like in South Vietnam or East Timor. Or at the present in Palestine. You guys don't touch on this at all. Why isn't that enough evidence to hate the govt., why would 9/11 make it different. That is his point, together with the fact that he is skeptical of your movement.
