Wow. This talk was 10ish years ago, and it could not be more accurate today. It brings a lot of emotions and feelings.. we lost are home during 2009 Financial crisis. We have not recovered…yet the architects of that crisis are even more wealthier. Crazy.
One of Chomsky's best speeches. Don't get scared by the lenght, Chomsky's speech is only 1 hour, from 20:00 to 1:25:25 and you will get brilliant insights on how society works, who has the power, and what we should do to change it.
any speech by Chomsky posted on you tube is illuminating and breaks down international affairs, economic and political history brilliantly. i tell you its worth listening. he really puts detail into these lectures. what a teacher.
What a mind. Even at this age, his memory and clarity are intact. May this great warrior live another 20 years. Regardless, prolific as he has been, he will be with us forever.
I didn't get the opportunity to quote Chomsky enough whilst studying History and Politics in university. That's a shame looking back, because he is a revelation. Respect.
""There is a standard technique of privatization. Namely, defund what you want to privatize; like when Thatcher wanted to privatize the railroads, first thing to do is defund them, then they don't work, then people want change. And so you say "OK, privatize them," and then they get worse. . . . That is the standard technique of privatization. Defund, make sure things don't work, people get angry, hand it over to private capital. Well that's the social security scam." 1:09: 00 -- 1:10: 00
Something similar is happening with the Post Office in the United States. For years they've been out competed, and their costs to operate outweigh the revenue they bring in - mostly due to the decline in mail. Trump recently appointed Louis Dejoy, a long time Republican donor and a chairman for the Republican National Convention in 2020, who still owns millions of dollars in stock with a USPS competitor, to essentially gut the Post Office. Most likely they will push for privatization under the next Republican president.
Thatcher, the Godess of neoliberalism, set the course for privatisation of the NHS in the 1970s. They knew this could not be achieved in the same way as the railways etc. and that it had to be done by stealth over a long period of time, even a generation or two. Thus the process is ongoing when most people have forgotten how much better it was when it was when it was a wholly public.
@@TheJester-ct5pi The USPS is in fact very competitive and would be a profitable entity if not for its crippling pension scheme. Pls google it. The same can be said for Canada. My dad was a letter carrier/Mailman with Canada Post for 35 years and helped author grievance letters for his Union rep. It's beyond my ability to articulate, but the gist is that the investmestment obligations to pensions are so inflated as to become difficult to fulfill, leaving the annual fiscal evaluations looking skewed. My single dad raised a family of five & paid child + spousal support from his modest (35,000) income from Canada post (& tens of thousands in credit card) for 15 years. He worked rain, shine or blizzard and sub -30°C temps. These federal entities need backup & need more democratization & remuneration for its life's blood - its workforce.
"The goal of marketing is to undermine markets by creating uninformed consumers who will make irrational choices. The business world spends huge efforts on that. And the same is true for the PR industry -- it turns to undermining democracy, it wants to construct elections in which uninformed voters will make irrational choices." - Noam Chomsky
@@mck1972 based on your asinine comment that anything of Chomsky is a "baseless paranoid conspiracy theory," he's deducing, quite correctly, that you're an uniformed moron and therefore is assuming, perhaps correctly, that you're a religious conservative whose capacity for reading is relegated to [some passages of] the bible. whether or not that's true is irrelevant, as it's clear the point is the same. you're ignorant and a troll, which fits right in with religious conservatism. good luck with that.
@@peruanaanaperu , So instead of making any effort to open your eyes to see Chomsky's baseless paranoid conspiracy theories for what they are, you instead make misguided and misinformed attacks against (what you assume are) my religious beliefs! And you call ME, ' ignorant '??? Please don't Shoot the Messenger if you yourself cannot face up to the reality of my message!
Yes this all started in the 70's with Reagan policies. If you watch Requiem for the American Dream - Noam Chomsky You will see the golden age for the economy was 50's-60's and earlier after 30's was the largest taxes to the richest people/corporations (above 80% after 1M in profits) It was Reagan and every pres after that reversed that and threw in multiple deregulatory actions to make corporations essentially people with human rights and insane protections. It started the revolving door between lobbying, corporations and government policy makers making eachother rich at the expense of the large majority of Americans (the bottom 70% of earners) This trickled into farming agriculture, medical industry, factory jobs, manufacturing sector and technology sectors! It's actually just gotten worse infact the wealth inequality has skyrocketed. A perfect example is shown with corporations profits during Covid (2020-2022) where the rest of the population was destroyed. Imagine vaccines being created and sold to help the population as saviors as they claimed to be. Yet doubled and tripled their profits twice. If it was truly a humanitarian effort we would have seen profits to cover costs and development and trickled down extra profits to the medical workforce and treatment efforts. There where millions who suffered death from poverty due to their inability to pay for their treatments. Little to none of those profits went to the humanitarian effort, it went into their pockets and the development and research came out of America's pockets, 90% of the stimulus bills didn't go to the people or medical donations it went to corporations, pharma and politicians! In a fair world or even what's claimed by current political mouthpieces, we would see regulations restrict and limit if not cap this gross misuse of a system and the people's money
Classic! Eleven years later and all Noam warns about is happening, again, and coming to pass. With climate disasters, diseases, war profiteers, banks, corporations, politicians, hedge fund managers taking advantage, I am starting to have little hope for the near future. I believe and hope younger generations will change things and survive.
I hear ya. Easy to feel powerless against the powers that be. But take heart, we have inspired scriptures that prophesied anciently about our day. We know it will be a time of tumult. But-we also know God wins in the end, that he sees us and is aware of us. We are here for a reason, and I believe we can place our hope in the Son of God. I realize these comment sections make anything religious sound zany, but I know Jesus Christ is legit. "In the world you shall have tribulation. But fear not; I have overcome the world." Find good people in your community, connect in person, try to really see and understand and lift one another, and combine your talents together and spread goodness and light to others. As the horizon darkens, seek out those with light in their eyes and love still in their hearts. We will increasingly gather together as things unfold. Stay open to God. I'm not sure why I felt to write all this, but it felt right. Peace and blessings to you, Llorens.
Canadian...They tend to be full of Themselves..Disgraceful though. I understand she’s popular in her own right. So she should really be quiet, humble, say 2-3 sentences, and show she has enough class, and is enough secure in herself, to not need to lean on, or steal his Thunder. and finally what was her introduction? Here’s Noam Chomsky. This person writes? Not one word of that choppy, staccato, “introduction”, remained, lingered, gave you pause, or goosebumps, or made you smile, or feel good to be there, and to hold on to your seats, and enjoy the ride..She did however pull a Trump, & invite everyone to join a demonstration, and riot..Through the Front Doors!
The moderator was really distracting. Give the man some room. Stop putting your hand in front of him to move the mic, I'm sure he can handle it, plus you can hear him just fine. Great talk Amazing insight We need more of these leaders.
Professor Chormsky is a brilliant Scholar of economics and political science, pure intellectual wealth, it's always a learning experience listening to him
Prof. Chomsky in his calm , confident , n erudite style exposes the many fault lines underlying modern society . We admire his fearless revelations of our lopsided power struggles. Moral conscience does not inform the selfish motives of the super-rich.
Fantastic! I am 7 years old and learning more from him now than I did in my young working years about what has been going on. Learned nothing like t his at University! So impotant for our children and grandchildren. Agree with him these principles should be taught in Elementary School. But who there would know enough to teach it.
ephilosophizer Chomsky is slightly out of phase with our spacetime. It's nothing we can't compensate for by realigning the transphase coupling array and rerouting it through an assymetrical conduit. Remember to actuate the verteron nano compensator or you'll blow out the array.
The world may as well instantly fly into the sun when this guy goes.. I have NO freaking idea who's going to... fill his shoes? Ha, I better start boning up, can't expect someone watching a video right now to do it.
It's staggering how Alexander Hamilton's out-lined (as the First Secretary-of-the-Treasury) the Governmentalization of Corporations & the Corporatization of Government has actually persisted for all these Centuries. He would have been proud of himself that his policies of merging the Government & Industries have worked so well for the Industrial Class. He was the _Kissinger_ of The National Treasury.
Just by listening to Noam, my brain rest and releases anxiety, sometimes I do not understand his message, because Noam goes pretty deep into history and the present, and I need to pause and catch up with him, Noam is an icon of what is a superior man, Noam is like a mine full of gems of inestimable value, for all those who know how to listen with an open mind with reason and goodwill and understanding. 🥰 I love this man!

The late Gore Vidal: "America is not a democracy, it's an oligarchy, exactly as our forefathers planned it, with TWO right-wing parties, one Republican and one Democrat, both owned and run by corporations."
@@joebloeh8058 No, I think Gore pretty much nails it. An oligarchy is defined as a state run for the the benefit of a select elite. That accurately defines the US. Tell me how that isn’t so
All governments are always run for the benefit of the elite read Marxism 101 . The best government is no government anarchism is the best ideology@@johnconnor1580
Actually communism was developed by working class movements and philosophers over hundreds of years, with particularly large work being done by Marx and Engels. 'Communism' in the USSR, etc., is however a construction of the ruling class (like you say). It used the name of communism (a good thing which makes life better for people) for a system which was monstrous, just for the gain of a small bureaucratic and political elite. Sounds familiar!
@@fabiengerard8142 evolution is a somewhat lame theory; survival of the fittest? Oy. Science has already confirmed that evolution is a flat earth theory; the status quo is often invested in the antiquated & the unscientific.
"Out of that same background came three major things: fascism, Bolshevism, and corporate tyranny. They all grew out of the same more or less Hegelian roots. It's fairly recent." Chomsky
That Noam Chomsky Is A Legend Is An Understatement. I'm Going To Watch This Great Video ALL Of The Way Through. Thank You For Presenting It, Hart House.🌺🌺🌺🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦🇮🇱♾️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🗽🦅‼️
I fell asleep w/ TH-cam playing, & this somehow got into my queue & started. Thus, I dreamt that I was listening to John Goodman, who was just a head in a lab-type setting, speak on economics in a large Congress-like setting....lmao. This guy's voice does kinda sound like Goodman, or at least my dreaming self felt so.
Does he mention that the STATE is a bankrupt corporation? That this corporation has private shareholders/creditors who took over it's operation. This happened in 1933. All our states, counties, municipalities, ..... are corporations.
@@nikfelther The first thing I recommend reading is the "Treaty of Paris"!! It's the start, and it shows the history we believe, and were told[PUBLIC EDUCATION] is propaganda. Treaties are a good read, but the earlier ones are easier compared to later when the legal ese becomes difficult to comprehend, not an accident!!That treaty shows that the U.S.[A] is a commercial enterprise with private interest. They [not only the King and Pope]are the controlling private shareholders,investors, creditors not in the PUBLIC and unelected, the hand up the puppet's asses. The revolutionary war, wasn't even recognized as a war, it was a rebellion in which control of the colony's where granted. The King dictated all the Terms, does that happen if you were defeated in a war? [International law is where you'll find the rules of NATION'S and what it takes to actually win]. Example, the King retained his right to tax the land, he even drew the boundries. In the colonies, there were many Land and Trading COMPANY'S, Virginia Land CO., the CROWN, ect. and they are the predecessor of what we call corporations, they became states(municipal corporations) of which control was given, with conditions, like paying for both sides of the rebellion, and a tax on the land etc.!! This set the States up, and the debts owed, which when they defaulted the terms could be changed, for instance, the Articles made it hard to collect, soooo they dumped it and then a Republic became, a Federal Democracy with new terms( the CONstitution) and many debt defaults to come, and more changes to the GOVERNMENT that got worse for the people, and especially later in the South!! Look up the "WHISKEY REBELLION" it say's it all, it was a tax rebellion. The tax was unapportioned direct tax on farmers, makin them pay a tax on their personal production of spirits, the rebellion was crushed by George Washington, the largest armed militia he ever was in charge of was formed,[sound familiar] . Didn't take long for the CONstitution to be ignored now did it, I believe the Bill of Rights were added later, like the 2nd amendment, remember how the rebellion was ended, lol what happened to Declaration of Independence and the rights of free men to abolish a tyrannical government? This is the 1st President, lol, I forgot to mention that he owner of one of the biggest distillaries at the time, that forcing a tax on farmers, was a tax on his competition attempting to make them pay the same tax as his for profit commercial distillery, on their moonshine made from their end crops and used for barter to get them through winter, their farms taxed All agencies with 3 letters are examples of extra constitutional LAW/Legalities of which the CONstitution didn't say couldn't be done, not unconstitution, extra constitutional ?, conditions added to make that debt easier to collect. A great place to get a run down is Captain Slappy on TH-cam, he puts to music the actual documents to read, he has alot of videos they move fast and they are packed with info, he recommends you watch at regular speed first, then slow it down to actually be able to read the documents. He has very few videos in which he actually speaks and will read a book giving his remarks so it can be comprehended the ones he does maybe on a playlist on my channel? Read 1793 Chisholm vs. Georgia this U.S.S.C. decision breaks down what the U.S. is, a corporation and it has always been, unlike many deluded "PAYtridiots" believe that the creation of D.C. made the U.S. a corporation, not true. This decision explains. ALL these major changes were done as additions to the Constitution and some blurr the line or violate it, all changes due to that debt, neither the War of Independence, or Civil War, were legally speaking wars, which explains alot about the Civil War not having any treaty at it's conclusion and the Leiber code Lincoln imposed instead the beginning of the end of respect for the constitution, the 14th is really the death blow, it made the constituition even more worthless and this lie about Lincoln being good and ending slavery is a joke, the EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION was only applied to the South, who did what the Declaration of Independence said, started another form of gov.inc, while the North actually kept their slaves, NJ was the last to end it, the problem was their succession came without the destruction of the tyrannical government they attempted to suceed from. Lincoln never recognized their independence, how else could that Emacipation proclamation be forced on South otherwise? Its purpose was to economically cripple them, not for any noble idea, he was a full blown tyrant, and actually didn't want blacks and whites even to live on the same continent, he was going to deport em, so I think John Wilkes Booth should be celebrated, the passage of the 13th was done after Abe's death, and slavery never ended, they just got a new master A.K.A., U.S. citizenship. Besides that, the Chinese got enslaved to build the railroads and crony capitalism/mercantilism came into power, State citizens got downgraded to the same status later on[if I remember correctly] The 14th amendment needs to be read, it destroyed anything good in the constitution. We the people became surety to the debt of the "People" and unable to question any debts created by U.S.(14th). James Traficant had a speech talking about a more recent reorganization of the CORPORATION, this wasn't appreciated and he suffered for it!!! Clint Richardson has done alot of work explaining the legalities of the system and how we really are voluntarily slaves to this legal entity because of what FDR did, with the creation of the Birth Certificate, made it all legal, and mankind and rights granted by God, got replaced, became legalities, mankind became an AGENT to a government created PERSON. Clint really gets into the legalities, Red Pill Sunday School is his channel he wrotes some books, one about the Strawman. LAWBOOKS explain personhood, agency, and you'll need legal dictionary, legalities are written in legal ese and require the terms be defined, and each term has various meanings which with an update can be redefined, like pandemic, vaccine, herd immunity recently for example, though the defined term may change the definitions are to remain as written at that time. We are men, who are born free, only to be voluteered by our parents to become an AGENTs for service of process for that LEGAL NAME, created by STATE, to take from us the only thing mankind really ever owed, his labor, through our ignorance of ourselves(Human NATURE) the few has controlled the many, just by knowing our nature better. GOVERNMENT, CITIZENSHIP , legalities are the antithesis of Law(10 commandments) and the Bible has had the same thing done to it by the CHURCH, it is the Law which modern LEGALITIES are supposed to uphold, how the CHURCH teaches it is as a 501c3 incorporation. It's the Law book, but is misconstrued as literally the word of God which really messes up any comprehension, God is living existence of NATURE, life, because it was translated poorly from a language that is figurative, written in metaphors, lessons of being Lawful men by honoring God's Law, which is unchanging, and not become Cesars commercial property, and Jesus was an example to follow only without the fate he met, the CHURCH is actually misleading mankind by presenting it as a true story, instead of lessons on remaining free men, by the time we figure this out, we have signed so many adhesion contracts and believe that name we identify as it's actually us, and when we believe something, we assume it to be true. Thats our nature, and once we believe a lie, even facts will be dismissed. A citizen is a legal fiction/person/organization/corporation created by GOVERNMENT who owns it, we are it's living agent or representation to be taxed on everything and subject to all legalities, fines, penalties, license, registrations, by identifying as that legal name. Look around the videos on my playlists, you can get alot of information, some better than others, don't believe anybody trying to sell you some legal process, or you can get millions for your BIRTH CERT, Soviegn citizen crap is half baked and intended to make you a fool, that's why they remain on TH-cam, while others get censored, removed, or get the algorhythym so without exact titles they won't be found, if not deleted.
What was the actual date of this talk? I see it was uplaoded in April, so I'm assuming it was around then, but I'm just curious as to the actual date. Again, thanks so much for posting this and my compliments to the technical team for excellent sound and picture quality.
I'm 46. Generally I try not to get too wound up. I guess this economic situation is a bit of a sore spot for me, though I have not been hit as hard as many,and it irritates me that we as a people are just plodding along through the chutes as we're directed preparing to do it again in a few years. Chomsky is one of the few who shed light,and I have a great appreciation of that. That being said I am all for space programs.

Chomsky: State-Corporate Complex: A threat to Freedom and Survival Also Chomsky: Those who don't take the State-Corporate Complex's novel medical technology should lose all freedom. What a smart guy.
@@-astrangerontheinternet6687 It has nothing to do with trust or belief. It's simply a matter of being able to see the difference. You're over simplifying the meaning, and missing the nuance. Maybe try to correct that.
If it is true that “the state-corporate complex [is a] threat to freedom and survival” Then it is logically inconsistent to support the mandates of the state to take the corporate profit maker. Especially when the little oversight provided by the state was eliminated and the state promises not to punish the corporation for any harm it causes related to administering this thing. But, you pat yourself on the back for your superior ability to understand nuance there, guy. We’re in the midst of watching the fallout from legal opiates pushed by drs paid by pharma, and sanctioned by various alphabet departments. Still seeing persons due from dr recommended cigarettes. Nuance is the difference between teal and blue-green. Chomsky simultaneously wants us to believe that big daddy govt is a meany- but when it comes down to it he really cares. Keep your Stockholm and your nuance. Good luck to you.
(c. 0:01) Opening remarks by Louise Cowin, Hart House Warden (c. 4:41) Introduction by Linda McQuaig • Excellent introduction, except for the last part, which must disappoint Dr. Chomsky. "More than any other individual, I think it can be truly said that Noam Chomsky speaks truth to power." However, Dr. Chomsky has publicly discussed the futility of "speaking truth to power", when the ruling class in power is well aware of the truth. We appreciate the noble sentiment motivated by a desire for socioeconomic justice; but it's misguided. The ruling class in power is ruthless in its protection, and expansion, of the power they wield. We appreciate the sentiment; but the truth-telling is geared more for waking the folk up, rather than any moral appeal to the immoral/amoral ruling classes in power (c. 19:40) Dr. Noam Chomsky enters the stage
As Professor Nom Chompsky said "Those who control the economic life of a country also tend to have overwhelming influince over state policy" -This can be summed up as "Those who control the economy can control the policy." This is similar to how Frank Herbert said "He who controls the spice, controls the universe." -Which, in turn, can, of course, most certainly be summed up as "Rich people got power." -As the professor implied, it can be simply summed up by the American elementary school adage "Money is power." Mathematically that is easily expressed as "m=p." This more importantly elucidates that since time is money and money is power, then power is time (t=m=p). This is a matter of transitive property. Since it is known that Money is fiat and Time is a subjective hallucination produced by the consciousness of one's ability to change and said effects of change, one must conclude that Power too is an illususory fiat- a hallucination of grandeur- a futile legacy in the face of a boundless yawning eternity full of all creation and destruction, forever and ever. 🍃 Or that's the gist of it.🌈⭐️
Keep hearing U.S. is "the richest country in history"....But, with our day to day reality including the fact of most Americans living with HORRIFIC conditions including "wages the lowest since The Great Depression"...what the heck is the point of knowing that, including day to day reality of the tens of thousands of HOMELESS including the fastest growing group of we unfortunates being the ELDERLY after having worked 1/2 CENTURY paying 50 years of taxes SUPPOSED to be spent in part on those same citizens welfare ?
The whole of the United States needs to watch this, every Citizen no matter age race or political party. Because when it comes down to it we all want to be happy, we all want to raise our children in a better world or at least as good a place as we had in our youth. Our differences aren’t as far and wide apart as the political parties want us to believe. No one wants bad immigration policy. No wants our fellow citizens to be homeless. The problem is our news media that do not tell us the facts. They tell us what they want us to know. This should be translated so that all Americans can have a good understanding of this information!
you worry too much,hes like a duck in water with this whole deal including the meet the Beatles stuff.its what he does.how do you meet this guy without at least kissing a little ass?for most people he is the guy that opened their eyes for the first time in their lives as to how and why things REALLY work the way they do.he teaches first and foremost PERSPECTIVE imo.
Might I point out that Chomsky himself is rich, and whether you agree with him or not it is certainly undeniable that he has been quite prolific in his creations.
He is rich because he has been so, ' prolific ', in his exploiting the same Capitalist System the he loves to bash so much-Like the ridiculous hypocrite that he is ! 😀
Probably unless they can find a way to make it benefit them. I'd love to be able to go back in time but with the knowledge of what the future will bring intact. We might have been able to prevent it reaching this point.
And just think the hippies didn't have franken foods, and there was still a middle class with jobs that could support a family. They would have come off those communes and burned this sucker down.
@Jeff Whitman i only like his firing line. Interview by william buckley. Aside from that hes lame. And ya im a roofer and i also used to smoke crack and fentanyl yet i still like to think ok Jeff?
@@Roofers-Nail-Hardest whose crying? I'm just pointing out that the title and the things being said proved to be true after 10 years. Did you actually listen? Noam is amazing and l am just one out of a critical mass who will be super sad when he passes, as will be soon. I have a hard time watching his most recent talks because it reminds me that one of the most enlightening minds, a hero, is getting slow as his age is so prevalent. He lead a movement among the educated during his early career and deserves respect. Im afraid I understand exactly why YOU think one speech sums up all of the useful wisdom he has to impart. Over the span of his colorful career he changed the way people look at the world, not just the US. You are entitled to share your opinion, but it is telling, and can you guess what makes me think I know why you hold that opinion?
@@Notfunnysam my point is that i know its not funny but whenever i watch this and i hear that woman audibly pronounce the title... It makes me laugh. As for Chomsky... I think he is square. There is more to learn from life than what a book can teach you. His knowledge is vast but one-dimensional. I still admire him but dudes a SQUARE. People say hes humble but i dont really see it that way. Only in his youth. So u never laugh?
I think other thinking people are attempting to weigh in. Naom C. has been a thinking person for many years. If he can encourage others to do likewise, I applaud them for trying or practicing even if it is on his dime, so to speak.

What a mind. Even at this age, his memory and clarity are intact. May this great warrior live another 20 years. Regardless, prolific as he has been, he will be with us forever.
Another 50 years will be much better
How would you compare/contrast Noam and Ralph Nader ?
@Raw Engineer And you're anti-humanity/life ;)
@@apacademy Brothers in arms. Why engage in such an exercise, when there's so much work to be done.
i wanted to give a like to your comment.. but it's on 69 now so i didn't.. ^^
5 minutes into listening to this guy, a lot of world starts to make sense. Wish he would be an immortal.
He is part of the Cabal Beware. In reality he will lead you over the cliff because of his advanced age now.
I didn't get the opportunity to quote Chomsky enough whilst studying History and Politics in university.
That's a shame looking back, because he is a revelation.
Respect.
What year did you graduate? Who did you quote...? Nye, Mersheimer?
""There is a standard technique of privatization. Namely, defund what you want to privatize; like when Thatcher wanted to privatize the railroads, first thing to do is defund them, then they don't work, then people want change. And so you say "OK, privatize them," and then they get worse. . . . That is the standard technique of privatization. Defund, make sure things don't work, people get angry, hand it over to private capital. Well that's the social security scam." 1:09: 00 -- 1:10: 00
Something similar is happening with the Post Office in the United States. For years they've been out competed, and their costs to operate outweigh the revenue they bring in - mostly due to the decline in mail. Trump recently appointed Louis Dejoy, a long time Republican donor and a chairman for the Republican National Convention in 2020, who still owns millions of dollars in stock with a USPS competitor, to essentially gut the Post Office. Most likely they will push for privatization under the next Republican president.
Thatcher, the Godess of neoliberalism, set the course for privatisation of the NHS in the 1970s. They knew this could not be achieved in the same way as the railways etc. and that it had to be done by stealth over a long period of time, even a generation or two. Thus the process is ongoing when most people have forgotten how much better it was when it was when it was a wholly public.
How people still do not see this after 50 years is beyond me.
@@TheJester-ct5pi The USPS is in fact very competitive and would be a profitable entity if not for its crippling pension scheme. Pls google it. The same can be said for Canada. My dad was a letter carrier/Mailman with Canada Post for 35 years and helped author grievance letters for his Union rep.
It's beyond my ability to articulate, but the gist is that the investmestment obligations to pensions are so inflated as to become difficult to fulfill, leaving the annual fiscal evaluations looking skewed.
My single dad raised a family of five & paid child + spousal support from his modest (35,000) income from Canada post (& tens of thousands in credit card) for 15 years. He worked rain, shine or blizzard and sub -30°C temps.
These federal entities need backup & need more democratization & remuneration for its life's blood - its workforce.
So then, what does that suggest of Johnsons move to de-privatise the NHS?
"The goal of marketing is to undermine markets by creating uninformed consumers who will make irrational choices. The business world spends huge efforts on that. And the same is true for the PR industry -- it turns to undermining democracy, it wants to construct elections in which uninformed voters will make irrational choices." - Noam Chomsky
And you quoted another of Chomsky's baseless paranoid conspiracy theories, for what reason exactly???
@@mck1972 baseless and paranoid?
Ok mate. Go on, go read a bible or something.
@@snatchinyopeople ,
What's that supposed to mean???
@@mck1972 based on your asinine comment that anything of Chomsky is a "baseless paranoid conspiracy theory," he's deducing, quite correctly, that you're an uniformed moron and therefore is assuming, perhaps correctly, that you're a religious conservative whose capacity for reading is relegated to [some passages of] the bible. whether or not that's true is irrelevant, as it's clear the point is the same. you're ignorant and a troll, which fits right in with religious conservatism. good luck with that.
@@peruanaanaperu ,
So instead of making any effort to open your eyes to see Chomsky's baseless paranoid conspiracy theories for what they are, you instead make misguided and misinformed attacks against (what you assume are) my religious beliefs!
And you call ME, ' ignorant '???
Please don't Shoot the Messenger if you yourself cannot face up to the reality of my message!
Chomsky said this like 10 years ago and STILL TILL THIS DAY NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED
Yes this all started in the 70's with Reagan policies. If you watch Requiem for the American Dream - Noam Chomsky
You will see the golden age for the economy was 50's-60's and earlier after 30's was the largest taxes to the richest people/corporations (above 80% after 1M in profits)
It was Reagan and every pres after that reversed that and threw in multiple deregulatory actions to make corporations essentially people with human rights and insane protections. It started the revolving door between lobbying, corporations and government policy makers making eachother rich at the expense of the large majority of Americans (the bottom 70% of earners)
This trickled into farming agriculture, medical industry, factory jobs, manufacturing sector and technology sectors!
It's actually just gotten worse infact the wealth inequality has skyrocketed. A perfect example is shown with corporations profits during Covid (2020-2022) where the rest of the population was destroyed.
Imagine vaccines being created and sold to help the population as saviors as they claimed to be. Yet doubled and tripled their profits twice.
If it was truly a humanitarian effort we would have seen profits to cover costs and development and trickled down extra profits to the medical workforce and treatment efforts. There where millions who suffered death from poverty due to their inability to pay for their treatments.
Little to none of those profits went to the humanitarian effort, it went into their pockets and the development and research came out of America's pockets, 90% of the stimulus bills didn't go to the people or medical donations it went to corporations, pharma and politicians!
In a fair world or even what's claimed by current political mouthpieces, we would see regulations restrict and limit if not cap this gross misuse of a system and the people's money
Classic! Eleven years later and all Noam warns about is happening, again, and coming to pass. With climate disasters, diseases, war profiteers, banks, corporations, politicians, hedge fund managers taking advantage, I am starting to have little hope for the near future. I believe and hope younger generations will change things and survive.
I hear ya. Easy to feel powerless against the powers that be. But take heart, we have inspired scriptures that prophesied anciently about our day. We know it will be a time of tumult. But-we also know God wins in the end, that he sees us and is aware of us. We are here for a reason, and I believe we can place our hope in the Son of God. I realize these comment sections make anything religious sound zany, but I know Jesus Christ is legit. "In the world you shall have tribulation. But fear not; I have overcome the world." Find good people in your community, connect in person, try to really see and understand and lift one another, and combine your talents together and spread goodness and light to others. As the horizon darkens, seek out those with light in their eyes and love still in their hearts. We will increasingly gather together as things unfold. Stay open to God. I'm not sure why I felt to write all this, but it felt right. Peace and blessings to you, Llorens.
What about you doing something.
When introducing someone as famous as Noam, do not speak for 20 minutes. Please.
let's pray Chomsky at the time not having bowels problems and needed some time to ease himself so the blond is might be just time killer....
famous, bur full of shit !!
@@nonrepublicrat Why do you feel he's "full of shit" ?
Famous? Less than 10% of americans know who this is. Far far less if exclude those with higher education. Famous? Lol
Canadian...They tend to be full of Themselves..Disgraceful though. I understand she’s popular in her own right. So she should really be quiet, humble, say 2-3 sentences, and show she has enough class, and is enough secure in herself, to not need to lean on, or steal his Thunder. and finally what was her introduction? Here’s Noam Chomsky. This person writes? Not one word of that choppy, staccato, “introduction”, remained, lingered, gave you pause, or goosebumps, or made you smile, or feel good to be there, and to hold on to your seats, and enjoy the ride..She did however pull a Trump, & invite everyone to join a demonstration, and riot..Through the Front Doors!
Chomsky starts at 19:45
Thanks I wasn't interested in all that gibbering
Thank god I was wondering what the fuck I was listening to loool
that voice is like nails on a chalkboard
Thank you.
Chomskie brilliant
I could listen to Noam for hours . I always learn something
I could listen to this man for had into the future lol.!
Holy introduction! I thought it was a filibuster that I mistook for a Chomsky speech after the first 15 minutes
😂😂😂🎉😅
The moderator was really distracting. Give the man some room. Stop putting your hand in front of him to move the mic, I'm sure he can handle it, plus you can hear him just fine. Great talk Amazing insight We need more of these leaders.
She's obviously overwhelmed by the great man. Understandable but unprofessional too.
That's the American way..create helplessness control dominate dumb down..mainly RepubliCONS
I am pleased to live in time in human history where I can benefit so much from Noam Chomsky!
Professor Chormsky is a brilliant Scholar of economics and political science, pure intellectual wealth, it's always a learning experience listening to him
What is scary is our "education "system promotes the current economic catastropic paradigm.
Prof. Chomsky in his calm , confident , n erudite style exposes the many fault lines underlying modern society . We admire his fearless revelations of our lopsided power struggles. Moral conscience does not inform the selfish motives of the super-rich.
A simple thank u for this on my journey of consciousness ! This man's delivery is bang on in so many aspects !
It is indeed a journey of consciousness!
ditto
Talk all night professor!
Noam is the Grandpa we didn’t know we needed. It’ll be a sad day when he gracefully goes onto his next adventure.
Wow. How 🤔 profound....goofball
Fantastic! I am 7 years old and learning more from him now than I did in my young working years about what has been going on. Learned nothing like t his at University! So impotant for our children and grandchildren. Agree with him these principles should be taught in Elementary School. But who there would know enough to teach it.
Did you graduate at age 6?
Everyone should read ‘IN MY 70s’ - obviously! 😉
Go to settings, speed and increase to 1.25. Then skip to 20:00 min mark. You're welcome.

Chomsky is slightly out of phase with our spacetime. It's nothing we can't compensate for by realigning the transphase coupling array and rerouting it through an assymetrical conduit. Remember to actuate the verteron nano compensator or you'll blow out the array.
many thanks

Praise Noam.
It Is Such A Pleasure To Hear So Much Truth In One Session For A Change!
It's staggering how Alexander Hamilton's out-lined (as the First Secretary-of-the-Treasury) the Governmentalization of Corporations & the Corporatization of Government has actually persisted for all these Centuries.
He would have been proud of himself that his policies of merging the Government & Industries have worked so well for the Industrial Class. He was the _Kissinger_ of The National Treasury.
Just by listening to Noam, my brain rest and releases anxiety, sometimes I do not understand his message, because Noam goes pretty deep into history and the present, and I need to pause and catch up with him, Noam is an icon of what is a superior man, Noam is like a mine full of gems of inestimable value, for all those who know how to listen with an open mind with reason and goodwill and understanding. 🥰 I love this man!
The icon of a superior man? Good lord.

Listening to Chomksy, makes you smarter
Actually communism was developed by working class movements and philosophers over hundreds of years, with particularly large work being done by Marx and Engels. 'Communism' in the USSR, etc., is however a construction of the ruling class (like you say). It used the name of communism (a good thing which makes life better for people) for a system which was monstrous, just for the gain of a small bureaucratic and political elite. Sounds familiar!
There will always be a ruling clsss.

"Out of that same background came three major things: fascism, Bolshevism, and corporate tyranny. They all grew out of the same more or less Hegelian roots. It's fairly recent." Chomsky

very true--that's why we should all thank him by letter or email. he responds :)
Here goes.
Great introduction. Very different, outside the usual protocols.
Lol i like how semra is so awkwardly close to chomsky during the Q&A :p

Does he mention that the STATE is a bankrupt corporation? That this corporation has private shareholders/creditors who took over it's operation. This happened in 1933. All our states, counties, municipalities, ..... are corporations.
I would like to learn more about this, do you have any resources/reading material on the topic you’ve mentioned that you would recommend?
@@nikfelther The first thing I recommend reading is the "Treaty of Paris"!! It's the start, and it shows the history we believe, and were told[PUBLIC EDUCATION] is propaganda. Treaties are a good read, but the earlier ones are easier compared to later when the legal ese becomes difficult to comprehend, not an accident!!That treaty shows that the U.S.[A] is a commercial enterprise with private interest. They [not only the King and Pope]are the controlling private shareholders,investors, creditors not in the PUBLIC and unelected, the hand up the puppet's asses.
The revolutionary war, wasn't even recognized as a war, it was a rebellion in which control of the colony's where granted. The King dictated all the Terms, does that happen if you were defeated in a war? [International law is where you'll find the rules of NATION'S and what it takes to actually win]. Example, the King retained his right to tax the land, he even drew the boundries. In the colonies, there were many Land and Trading COMPANY'S, Virginia Land CO., the CROWN, ect. and they are the predecessor of what we call corporations, they became states(municipal corporations) of which control was given, with conditions, like paying for both sides of the rebellion, and a tax on the land etc.!! This set the States up, and the debts owed, which when they defaulted the terms could be changed, for instance, the Articles made it hard to collect, soooo they dumped it and then a Republic became, a Federal Democracy with new terms( the CONstitution) and many debt defaults to come, and more changes to the GOVERNMENT that got worse for the people, and especially later in the South!!
Look up the "WHISKEY REBELLION" it say's it all, it was a tax rebellion. The tax was unapportioned direct tax on farmers, makin them pay a tax on their personal production of spirits, the rebellion was crushed by George Washington, the largest armed militia he ever was in charge of was formed,[sound familiar] . Didn't take long for the CONstitution to be ignored now did it, I believe the Bill of Rights were added later, like the 2nd amendment, remember how the rebellion was ended, lol what happened to Declaration of Independence and the rights of free men to abolish a tyrannical government? This is the 1st President, lol, I forgot to mention that he owner of one of the biggest distillaries at the time, that forcing a tax on farmers, was a tax on his competition attempting to make them pay the same tax as his for profit commercial distillery, on their moonshine made from their end crops and used for barter to get them through winter, their farms taxed
All agencies with 3 letters are examples of extra constitutional LAW/Legalities of which the CONstitution didn't say couldn't be done, not unconstitution, extra constitutional ?, conditions added to make that debt easier to collect.
A great place to get a run down is Captain Slappy on TH-cam, he puts to music the actual documents to read, he has alot of videos they move fast and they are packed with info, he recommends you watch at regular speed first, then slow it down to actually be able to read the documents. He has very few videos in which he actually speaks and will read a book giving his remarks so it can be comprehended the ones he does maybe on a playlist on my channel?
Read 1793 Chisholm vs. Georgia this U.S.S.C. decision breaks down what the U.S. is, a corporation and it has always been, unlike many deluded "PAYtridiots" believe that the creation of D.C. made the U.S. a corporation, not true. This decision explains.
ALL these major changes were done as additions to the Constitution and some blurr the line or violate it, all changes due to that debt, neither the War of Independence, or Civil War, were legally speaking wars, which explains alot about the Civil War not having any treaty at it's conclusion and the Leiber code Lincoln imposed instead the beginning of the end of respect for the constitution, the 14th is really the death blow, it made the constituition even more worthless and this lie about Lincoln being good and ending slavery is a joke, the EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION was only applied to the South, who did what the Declaration of Independence said, started another form of gov.inc, while the North actually kept their slaves, NJ was the last to end it, the problem was their succession came without the destruction of the tyrannical government they attempted to suceed from. Lincoln never recognized their independence, how else could that Emacipation proclamation be forced on South otherwise? Its purpose was to economically cripple them, not for any noble idea, he was a full blown tyrant, and actually didn't want blacks and whites even to live on the same continent, he was going to deport em, so I think John Wilkes Booth should be celebrated, the passage of the 13th was done after Abe's death, and slavery never ended, they just got a new master A.K.A., U.S. citizenship. Besides that, the Chinese got enslaved to build the railroads and crony capitalism/mercantilism came into power, State citizens got downgraded to the same status later on[if I remember correctly] The 14th amendment needs to be read, it destroyed anything good in the constitution. We the people became surety to the debt of the "People" and unable to question any debts created by U.S.(14th).
James Traficant had a speech talking about a more recent reorganization of the CORPORATION, this wasn't appreciated and he suffered for it!!!
Clint Richardson has done alot of work explaining the legalities of the system and how we really are voluntarily slaves to this legal entity because of what FDR did, with the creation of the Birth Certificate, made it all legal, and mankind and rights granted by God, got replaced, became legalities, mankind became an AGENT to a government created PERSON.
Clint really gets into the legalities, Red Pill Sunday School is his channel he wrotes some books, one about the Strawman.
LAWBOOKS explain personhood, agency, and you'll need legal dictionary, legalities are written in legal ese and require the terms be defined, and each term has various meanings which with an update can be redefined, like pandemic, vaccine, herd immunity recently for example, though the defined term may change the definitions are to remain as written at that time.
We are men, who are born free, only to be voluteered by our parents to become an AGENTs for service of process for that LEGAL NAME, created by STATE, to take from us the only thing mankind really ever owed, his labor, through our ignorance of ourselves(Human NATURE) the few has controlled the many, just by knowing our nature better.
GOVERNMENT, CITIZENSHIP , legalities are the antithesis of Law(10 commandments) and the Bible has had the same thing done to it by the CHURCH, it is the Law which modern LEGALITIES are supposed to uphold, how the CHURCH teaches it is as a 501c3 incorporation. It's the Law book, but is misconstrued as literally the word of God which really messes up any comprehension, God is living existence of NATURE, life, because it was translated poorly from a language that is figurative, written in metaphors, lessons of being Lawful men by honoring God's Law, which is unchanging, and not become Cesars commercial property, and Jesus was an example to follow only without the fate he met, the CHURCH is actually misleading mankind by presenting it as a true story, instead of lessons on remaining free men, by the time we figure this out, we have signed so many adhesion contracts and believe that name we identify as it's actually us, and when we believe something, we assume it to be true. Thats our nature, and once we believe a lie, even facts will be dismissed. A citizen is a legal fiction/person/organization/corporation created by GOVERNMENT who owns it, we are it's living agent or representation to be taxed on everything and subject to all legalities, fines, penalties, license, registrations, by identifying as that legal name.
Look around the videos on my playlists, you can get alot of information, some better than others, don't believe anybody trying to sell you some legal process, or you can get millions for your BIRTH CERT, Soviegn citizen crap is half baked and intended to make you a fool, that's why they remain on TH-cam, while others get censored, removed, or get the algorhythym so without exact titles they won't be found, if not deleted.

@@andybaldman
Trusting two beliefs that are opposite to each other are both true is not nuance. It’s cognitive dissonance.
@@-astrangerontheinternet6687 It has nothing to do with trust or belief. It's simply a matter of being able to see the difference. You're over simplifying the meaning, and missing the nuance. Maybe try to correct that.
If it is true that “the state-corporate complex [is a] threat to freedom and survival”
Then it is logically inconsistent to support the mandates of the state to take the corporate profit maker. Especially when the little oversight provided by the state was eliminated and the state promises not to punish the corporation for any harm it causes related to administering this thing.
But, you pat yourself on the back for your superior ability to understand nuance there, guy.

I was at this lecture. It was amazing, and seeing him speak outside at the Munk protests outside Simcoe Hall was also certainly a treat.
So you're a Jewish Marxist homosexual?
There are still good voices that are ready to side with truth and justice against all odds.
I'd show the beginning of Noams' speech to Obama lovers and then quote Method Man in belly: "Das ya boy.
DAS. Ya. Boy."
(c. 0:01) Opening remarks by Louise Cowin, Hart House Warden
(c. 4:41) Introduction by Linda McQuaig
• Excellent introduction, except for the last part, which must disappoint Dr. Chomsky. "More than any other individual, I think it can be truly said that Noam Chomsky speaks truth to power." However, Dr. Chomsky has publicly discussed the futility of "speaking truth to power", when the ruling class in power is well aware of the truth. We appreciate the noble sentiment motivated by a desire for socioeconomic justice; but it's misguided. The ruling class in power is ruthless in its protection, and expansion, of the power they wield. We appreciate the sentiment; but the truth-telling is geared more for waking the folk up, rather than any moral appeal to the immoral/amoral ruling classes in power
(c. 19:40) Dr. Noam Chomsky enters the stage
Hey Hart House! Please post more seminars :)
As Professor Nom Chompsky said "Those who control the economic life of a country also tend to have overwhelming influince over state policy" -This can be summed up as "Those who control the economy can control the policy."
This is similar to how Frank Herbert said "He who controls the spice, controls the universe."
-Which, in turn, can, of course, most certainly be summed up as "Rich people got power."
-As the professor implied, it can be simply summed up by the American elementary school adage "Money is power."
Mathematically that is easily expressed as "m=p." This more importantly elucidates that since time is money and money is power, then power is time (t=m=p). This is a matter of transitive property. Since it is known that Money is fiat and Time is a subjective hallucination produced by the consciousness of one's ability to change and said effects of change, one must conclude that Power too is an illususory fiat- a hallucination of grandeur- a futile legacy in the face of a boundless yawning eternity full of all creation and destruction, forever and ever.

Or that's the gist of it.🌈⭐️
Vanitas vanitatum! More 17th century thinkers around?
clutching Ayn Rand and asking for a bail-out. Classic.
She would be disgusted by these self proclaimed objectivist.
"Sucks to suck, until I suck"
Noam is so nice to listen 🎶 too
Pffft, it you want to make a point, make it coherently and logically instead of just throwing around a load of hyperbole and capital letters.
Keep hearing U.S. is "the richest country in history"....But, with our day to day reality including the fact of most Americans living with HORRIFIC conditions including "wages the lowest since The Great Depression"...what the heck is the point of knowing that, including day to day reality of the tens of thousands of HOMELESS including the fastest growing group of we unfortunates being the ELDERLY after having worked 1/2 CENTURY paying 50 years of taxes SUPPOSED to be spent in part on those same citizens welfare ?
noam chomsky is an absolutely genious in politics and economics
The whole of the United States needs to watch this, every Citizen no matter age race or political party. Because when it comes down to it we all want to be happy, we all want to raise our children in a better world or at least as good a place as we had in our youth. Our differences aren’t as far and wide apart as the political parties want us to believe. No one wants bad immigration policy. No wants our fellow citizens to be homeless. The problem is our news media that do not tell us the facts. They tell us what they want us to know. This should be translated so that all Americans can have a good understanding of this information!
you worry too much,hes like a duck in water with this whole deal including the meet the Beatles stuff.its what he does.how do you meet this guy without at least kissing a little ass?for most people he is the guy that opened their eyes for the first time in their lives as to how and why things REALLY work the way they do.he teaches first and foremost PERSPECTIVE imo.
Chomsky begins at 19:45
He real life referenced Skull and Bones! What a legendary badass #theGOAT
I enjoyed her introduction, the hostility towards her and the top voted comment complaining about how long she talks is disheartening.
I was stoked to find a 2 hour Noam Chomsky talk but realized there's a 20 minute self serving introduction like always.
I almost always instinctively start skipping forward, and it almost always takes me three or four tries.
There was nothing self serving about that at all. She was literally talking about him. Women cant do ANYTHING without someone complaining
@@clarissamarie4605who said it was about women? 😂 feminists are unbearable
Might I point out that Chomsky himself is rich, and whether you agree with him or not it is certainly undeniable that he has been quite prolific in his creations.
He is rich because he has been so, ' prolific ', in his exploiting the same Capitalist System the he loves to bash so much-Like the ridiculous hypocrite that he is ! 😀
That blueish backlighting makes Noam look like a Jedi force ghost. :D
Be against violence, you should.
gfarreII80,
That's not a fair comparison; Jedi force ghosts have a far stronger connection to the real world than Chomsky does!
I liked the intro
Sixties back please! New Woodstock! Or will they bomb us this time?
Probably unless they can find a way to make it benefit them. I'd love to be able to go back in time but with the knowledge of what the future will bring intact. We might have been able to prevent it reaching this point.
And just think the hippies didn't have franken foods, and there was still a middle class with jobs that could support a family. They would have come off those communes and burned this sucker down.
Whether that's true or not, it doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for change.
I cant help it the title makes me laugh aloud! Lol.
Why, because it's so true?
10 years later look how many people have been pushed down.
@@Notfunnysam oh boo hoo
@Jeff Whitman i only like his firing line. Interview by william buckley. Aside from that hes lame. And ya im a roofer and i also used to smoke crack and fentanyl yet i still like to think ok Jeff?
@@Roofers-Nail-Hardest whose crying? I'm just pointing out that the title and the things being said proved to be true after 10 years. Did you actually listen?
Noam is amazing and l am just one out of a critical mass who will be super sad when he passes, as will be soon. I have a hard time watching his most recent talks because it reminds me that one of the most enlightening minds, a hero, is getting slow as his age is so prevalent. He lead a movement among the educated during his early career and deserves respect.
Im afraid I understand exactly why YOU think one speech sums up all of the useful wisdom he has to impart. Over the span of his colorful career he changed the way people look at the world, not just the US.
You are entitled to share your opinion, but it is telling, and can you guess what makes me think I know why you hold that opinion?
@@Notfunnysam my point is that i know its not funny but whenever i watch this and i hear that woman audibly pronounce the title... It makes me laugh. As for Chomsky... I think he is square. There is more to learn from life than what a book can teach you. His knowledge is vast but one-dimensional. I still admire him but dudes a SQUARE. People say hes humble but i dont really see it that way. Only in his youth. So u never laugh?
I think other thinking people are attempting to weigh in. Naom C. has been a thinking person for many years. If he can encourage others to do likewise, I applaud them for trying or practicing even if it is on his dime, so to speak.
I've gotten older just listening to the introduction
Oo
Yeah that’s
1200 seconds 👌
Very much agreed.
