Hey y'all, I share the wisdom of great libertarian minds for prospective enlightened citizens. Politics, economics, social criticism and religion are the main fields of focus, and our main speakers, for now, are Noam Chomsky, Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins.
I ask from my viewers one thing: not your patronage, but your curiosity. Keep seeking to learn about politics, society and anything, really, as long as your mind stays restless. Never concede the conquest of knowledge!
All feedback, suggestions and critiques are welcome, without exception. Please, just note that THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN CHANNEL. We detest all politicians and political parties and executives and corporations equally.

How to End the Russia-Ukraine War Noam Chomsky
Professor Noam Chomsky rebukes the then-US policy on Ukraine: supplying destructive ammunition and "fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian." Meanwhile, diplomatic measures are not considered. The only peaceful solution, according to Professor Chomsky, is to neutralize Ukraine (exempting it from international alliances) and grant further rights to Russian-speaking minorities. However, the West is unlikely to entertain any solution that does not allow imperial expansion into the East.

The Biggest Threat to the Civilized World Noam Chomsky
มุมมอง 3033 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Noam Chomsky signifies the threats of American intervention in Iraq and its dire impact on the world order. Following President Bush's announcement of the "Imperial Grand Strategy" and the subsequent Iraq War, Russia tripled its military spending, and China tripled its missile capacity. The human race kept edging one step closer to calamitous war. Contemporary polls found that large m...
Noam Chomsky on Voting
มุมมอง 9769 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Noam Chomsky describes his attitude to voting in federal elections. Skeptical of the "elite bipartisan consensus," as he once described it, he regards both the Democratic and Republican parties as instruments of corporate instruments, with only marginally different agendas. For this reason, he views elections as somewhat of a charade. They manifest the United States' "democratic defic...
The United States Is a Frightening Country Noam Chomsky
มุมมอง 40K10 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Noam Chomsky illustrates how the doctrine of American exceptionalism intimidates other nations into submitting to the United States' foreign policy, no matter how illegal or oppressive it may be. Sanctions are one example; for instance, Sweden is not allowed to sell certain products acquired from Cuba because of US-imposed sanctions. Even international treaties are skewed in the Unite...
The Last Conservative President Noam Chomsky
มุมมอง 3.6K11 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Noam Chomsky details the sweeping shift in the Republican Party's agenda over time, highlighting the contrast between the outlook of President Dwight Eisenhower and that of Ronald Reagan. The former, whom he labels "the last conservative president," staunchly defended some social democratic measures-a far cry from Reagan and subsequent GOP leaders. Taken from the broadcast "In Depth w...
Noam Chomsky Reveals What's Wrong with Public Education
มุมมอง 2.6K12 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Noam Chomsky highlights the lack of funding for public education, such as in his home state of Arizona, which is confining teachers to pitiable working conditions and miserable wages. Attempts to unionize have been made, and public campaigns have initiated, but whether these have any impact is dubious. Taken from the broadcast "In Depth with Noam Chomsky" (04/03/2022) on C-SPAN.
The US Is Starving Millions of People to Death Noam Chomsky
มุมมอง 1.5K13 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Noam Chomsky unravels how the greed of US bankers inhibits the poor citizens of Afghanistan and Yemen from affording food, thus leaving them to starve. It is one of the greatest crimes against humanity conceivable, and is yet unpunished... and uncovered by the press. Taken from the broadcast "In Depth with Noam Chomsky" (04/03/2022) on C-SPAN.
The Biggest War that No One Talks About Noam Chomsky
มุมมอง 4.1K18 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Noam Chomsky exposes corporate and government campaigns to divest working people of their rights and, ultimately, erode democratic values once so dearly protected in the United States. The war against working people will only be resolved through more force from the oppressed and surrender from the oppressor.

Richard Dawkins Schools Former Atheist
มุมมอง 5K20 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Richard Dawkins shares his opinion on famous atheist Antony Flew's conversion to deism after bowing down to the argument from intelligent design. In Professor Dawkins' view, such a notion is wholly incompatible with biological facts, which Flew claimed to have formed the basis of his conversion. Taken from the broadcast "The God Delusion" (10/23/2006) on C-SPAN.
Can We Become Gods? Richard Dawkins
มุมมอง 37721 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Richard Dawkins is asked whether humans can ever evolve into a deity or whether they share a common ancestry with a deity. Professor Dawkins deems the hypothesis a mere temptation. Every generation of humans grows more technologically or anatomically advanced, and we are naturally astonished by such progress. But this is not grounds for belief in an innate supernatural essence or the ...
Did Thomas Jefferson Support Slavery? Christopher Hitchens
มุมมอง 44K22 วันที่ผ่านมา
Christopher Hitchens sheds light on Thomas Jefferson's complex ideological relationship with slavery. His views on the institution seem to follow a course, starting from abolitionism and ending with temperate opposition. While in the Virginia House of Burgesses, Jefferson defended the right of manumission, which would have allowed slave owners to free their slaves. His seminal 1785 work NOTES O...
Your Mind Is Being Controlled, Here's How Noam Chomsky
มุมมอง 11K23 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Noam Chomsky exposes mass propaganda campaigns initiated by the US government, the philosophy behind them, and their impact on democracy. "Propaganda" is a euphemism for "expedient mind control" or, as Professor Chomsky puts it, manufacture of consent; it corrupts the individual's free thought and rationality. Taken from the C-SPAN broadcast "In Depth with Noam Chomsky" (04/03/2022), ...
Richard Dawkins on Rituals
มุมมอง 2.6K25 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Richard Dawkins comments on the cultural defamiliarization of atheism. Much of Western culture hinges on Christianity, leaving little space for secular rituals to breed. One amendment he recommends is secular funerals, in which prayers are substituted for the deceased's favorite literature and some eulogies. This renders the ceremony more personalized and sentimental. Professor Dawkin...
Richard Dawkins Warned Us about Politics
มุมมอง 1.2K26 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Richard Dawkins encourages atheists aspiring a career in politics to "come out of the closet" and refuse the mask of Christianity, as well as advising citizens not to rule out candidates based on religious views, or a lack thereof. He likens the struggle of atheists to rise to office to that of Blacks and gays. About twenty years following Professor Dawkins' warning, very little has c...
Control the Means of Production Noam Chomsky
มุมมอง 95027 วันที่ผ่านมา
Professor Noam Chomsky vocalizes the socialist ideal of workers controlling the means of production. In his words, "The notion of workers' control is as American as apple pie." Taken from the broadcast "American Power and the New Mandarins 40th Anniversary" on C-SPAN (08/12/2009).
Take a look at the images of the Universe from the James Webb Space Telescope. Anyone who seriously believes that the Creator of all of that, if there even is one, has instructions for the people of Earth, and "speaks" to a "chosen" illiterate nomad (with no witnesses) in a scorching desert, telling him to spread the word to all of humanity, using the most inefficient means possible (a book that virtually no one could read), or promised him a parcel of land without a signed and witnessed Deed, needs to immediately seek help from a licensed mental health professional.
Take a look at the images of the Universe from the James Webb Space Telescope. Anyone who seriously believes that a Middle Eastern barely teenage married girl told her husband that the Creator of all of that, if there even is one, impregnated her and then sent an angel in a dream to tell him that "yeah, it sounds crazy, but it really happened," needs to immediately seek help from a licensed mental health professional.
Noam does not seem to grasp that if his plan is accepted, that Putin will then invade Latvia, Lithuania and other former USSR states and demand the same thing. So Chomsky is essentially recommending Neville Chamberlain's "peace in our time" that will in the end guarantee other countries being over-run, for exactly the same reason. Appeasement.
I will always be proud of my country the UK because of the Peasants Revolt and the Civil War , William Morris, the invention of Cooperatives, the NHS, the Levellers, there is a lot more to Britain than the bar stewards who created an empire.
Actually, he insulted a make-believe man in the sky
religion is a system of beliefs, science is a system of facts.
Atheists. So smart. So smug. So screwed.

"I Insulted God" he will get over it
Chomsky, seems to advocate for the WHO World Health Organization (a non-democratically elected, America-centered, globalist club)... (#Globalist, means: with intention, to #dictate, to all humans, what to do, from inside a meeting room, in NYC.)
Chomsky is miserable wreck now, he wanted to see capitalism fall to socialism and it didn't happen and it just got way worse.
Logical thinking with a very sound conclusion Richard.
Ukraine is a US proxy and Zelensky a US puppet. That's why Biden never bothered to ask them if they want to join NATO or not. To bring NATO to Russia's door is a provocation. Then Biden said, we're giving them our stored ammunition so we can renew our arsenal. Not much concerned with Ukrainian lives lost! Meanwhile, we don't need to feed the MIC with more funds while lacking revenue with increasing national debt and deficit. US and Russia are both to blame for instigations and prolonging the conflict. And it will continue till both come to reasonable terms.
...sighhhhhh.. .. angst 😵💫😵💫 ..shown's
Catholicism.Evolution.And Mushrooms, are the Trinity who thrives on Bullshit.
I am sorry Noam, but as much as I respct you and make no mistake I do, I strongly disagree with this. While your premise is solid, Ukraine did not start this. Even if it is highly corrupt it is still a free and soverign nation. Capitulation to a Despot who had to beg a Hermit Kingdom for troops who have no concept of an nation outside it's own borders who had no combat experience shows the precarious situation Putin put himself in. A disaster of his own making. I only hope the rumors of his ill health are true because once you allow a Despot to take a bit of soverign land from one nation he will just move on to the next soverign nation. Hitler they say wanted piece....a piece of Poland, a piece of Czechoslovakia, a piece of......Goodnight
@@CircusOfValues-BH486 This is a misinterpretation.Chomsky condemns the Russian invasion. He says that Putin, not Ukraine, started it, but that it was PROVOKED (not started) by NATO.
True, but didn't the West convince Ukraine to get rid of the nuclear arsenal it had as a deterent to such future aggressions as we are seeing from Russia currently? How can the whole Western order claim to stand for Liberal Democracy and yet abandon a Soverign people to a foreign Despots whims? And I know that we have done quite a bit to aid the people of Ukraine. And I know no-one wants and escalation. I know that if Russia had zero nuclear weapons and it was strictly a conventional war the West could push the paper tiger that is the Russian military all the way back to Moscow if we wanted to truly. We left them vulnerable asking them to do that. And I know Noam knows as does the Free World that Russia that is at fault. Putin knows the West wouldn't go the nuclear route, but and this is a big but.....would Ukraine?
Ukraine did decide to denuclearize, but the West guaranteed the Budapest Memorandum in exchange, which prohibited them from using coercion against Ukraine.
@DanielRochester800 In regards to that the West has held up its end and then some. That having been said we are supplying military equipment to Ukraine. I say it is debatable if that goes beyond non-military help with is in the Budapest Memorandum or not. And to be honest Russia broke their end of that deal. Why hold back supplying more then military equipment and supplies if Putin views the Memorandum as a mere sheet of paper and not a binding agreement?
@@CircusOfValues-BH486 Fair point.
Meh… this is so atheism-2006. We know you don’t understand Catholicism. Slinging insults doesn’t prove that you do.
wtf?
No one has been more confused in his life as long as Chomsky. He's been consistently wrong not only in his opinions but in the nature of reality. (excludes his language studies)
The classism in the US has been on the rise. I’ve met stock broker people who felt when meeting me, that giving me a shovel to clean their drive way was what I should be doing. It was the grandpa of a tool bag named Trevor. They will absolutely find a way to enslave you. Or at least give you the impression that it’s all you’re good for
God's probably still shivering after that take down..
Acknowledging the fact that the United States already existed before the Haitian slave revolt, why does the scholar say without it the United States would not have existed? And the selling of the Louisiana territory by Napoleon was to pay for hus European wars, which occurred regardless of any Haitian situation. Those European wars left France unable to defend its' American territories, not the losing of Haiti.
Does that guy have a coherent question?
For 10,000 years Oligarchs have controlled every country on Earth using the primitive but powerful technique of "Divide-and-Conquer." Unless we can develop a technique to counter that and free the "Feebles" from the Oligarch's control, we are likely ... doomed.
Is it just me or is Noam just the Gandalf of our World
Why does the US have over 700 military bases around the globe? To let foreign nations know they are only minutes from being bombed by the US, should they step out of line.
This is why moving abroad isn't an option, really. They're all in bed with the U.S. anyway. Except Ireland, perhaps.
Look at the work programs in the u.s jail system. These prisoners are paid a few cents to a dollar and a half to make goods for companies, and the federal prison system are reliant on grants given by the government who are in cahoots with large corporations to get cheap labor. So they want more people to go jail and stay their. The American public doesn't give a fuck because, they look down on prisoners they look down on them, and think they should loose their rights. Instead of rehabilitating them. We are a cog in the systems of extreme capitalism, I love capitalism when it works the way it was originally intended too, where small companies can compete with each other instead of being obliterated by theese large monopoly companies like Walmart.
@@clownpaint20 This is exactly what happened with the California wildfires. Prisoners were among the most contributors to the response, and they were paid a measly two dollars an hour for forced labor.
@DanielRochester800 what a shame! The united states is in bad shape, God help us all.
The USA is frightening because it protects its interest in the international economy? Lol pure leftist fear mongering. And he is straight up lying about Cuba. Cuba isn't targeted by the USA because of "defiance of US policies", it's because they're a communist dictatorship whose leaders including Castro and Che Guevara used to even call out for a nuclear war with the US. Lefties are just so, so pathetic, the things they whine about... But stay afraid, guys. Stay very afraid!
Protect its interest in the international economy? The US CONTROLS the international economy.
Chomsky pays taxes to US while he preaches. And as he writes, other governments are bad too. Waste of time virtue signaling.
Catholicism offers sentiment for reason, reflexiveness for rhetoric, and coercion for percussion. It has infinite mystery to support claims of infallible authority, and eternal slavery to repay your unquestioning obedience.
I’m just a Canadian who for about 35 years been absolutely blessed to have read many many books and a huge fan. He’s inspirational. Taught me most of what I know and my view on so many topics. I love Chomsky. I wanna hug him! ❤
What he won't say is how Obama brought this on and tried to partner with the GLOBALIST efforts!
You'll find that Chomsky spared no criticism for Obama. He even said that Obama was worse than Bush.
A true beacon of freedom and the U.S.A. at its best in the defense of democracy and has always defended the dignity of all human beings. He was always so hardworking and true to himself, the truth, democracy, justice, freedom, progress and life and dignity on our planet. To think that he is going to die some day makes me sick.

Doing the right thing cost and Jefferson didn't want to risk that. That is what I took from it.
He is still making money extorting people that can understand him.

By their fruits you shall know them. I’d like to see atheists caring personally for the poor, the sick, the imprisoned, the aliens and strangers. It’s not enough just to vote or even write a check.
@@catherinelincoln9830 You don't have to be religious to be moral.
Americans don't like folks who read books.
It's called anti-intellectualism, which is a defining feature of American culture.

Fear breeds anger! Anger breeds violence!
If your mind is not powerful enough to understand what God can do (basically everything), you should rely on His words, instead of being arrogant and sarcastic
...then he told us how he believed the warren Commission conclusions and had to leave early for a meeting with Jerry Epstein.
The old soft zionist is right of course, but the US really went south when it allowed Israel-firster neocon Jews to take complete control of our republic, and use us as a surrogate for Israel's sick dreams.
I don’t think you can call Choamsky a Zionist by any standard. He called Israel an apartheid state back in the 90s.
And now that time has passed we can see that the only real result was a) a lot of companies got rich off the taxpayer, b) now that there is a war in Ukraine nobody wants to pay for it because they were robbed by the companies, and c) the neo cons in the Republican Party have been ejected and far from being imperialist, the country wants to be a lot more isolationist.
We are witnessing a new age of colonialism.
@DanielRochester800 If by colonialism you mean everyone is coming to America you may be right. If you mean America is going other places, no, everyone is tired of that, and that was never a project the people of the country wanted.
@ People coming to America is not colonialism. If that were true, we wouldn't even have America; we would remain British. America is "going [to] other places," yes. It has over 800 military bases in over 70 countries, and is currently engaged in 5 wars.
