does anyone know the names of the studies chomsky refers to at 55m into the full video at lannan?

@plascader Good question. YouTube won't let me post a link directly; go to chomsky (dot) info -- in the Talks section look for "Elections Run by Same Guys Who Sell Toothpaste. International Relations Center. January 25, 2005." That's as close as I can find.

Yes, I also wish he'd be more specific in his introduction, esp regarding those nations referred to by Samuel Huntington as "much of the world"; who specifically is he talking about?...I know I can probably google it...

Yeah, Tariq Ali took off, gee I wonder how many decades ago was that, considering the depth of his political analyzation and criticism of world powers, not to mention his age and wisdom? LOL All jokes aside, Mr. Ali is quite fantastic in his research, along with Noam Chomsky. They need to have a tag team and build their own empire, a totally non-violent empire based on mutual respect towards others and ever-lasting peace.

Tariq is really taking off. Great scholar, bright future. Because the downfall of the US is only about to start. He will never run out of new material, haha. :-)

what is IRC?

thanks for posting this. I have heard of chomsky, but have not heard of ali. I have alot to chew on. We need these points of view expressed for everyone to get a better picture of what is going on in the world at a macro level.

[idic5]

yes, I see the lannanfoundations's comment about the clip time limitation , but it is deliciously ironic that this clip ends exactly when chomsky says that iraq will eventually seek WMD, which , of course, was the very reason the US tried to isolate Saddam's Iraq with sanctions and then went into the country militarily.
