The culture of fear instilled in the average American leaves the masses malleable and therefore open to influence. Chomsky loves America, despite what his detractors think. It's because he cares that he speaks uncomfortable truths. When he describes the Vietnam 'war ' it is hard for people to accept the unnecessary invasion that was the Vietnam debacle. Similarly the invasion of Iraq was based on lies, a tough thing to face up to. Ultimately it's the American people who suffer from being deceived by those they think are protecting them. Chomsky is a deeply moral human being - he teaches that the life of the Vietnamese peasant, or the struggling citizen of Cuba, has as much value as an American life. Long live Chomsky's words!
Chomsky loves that only in America can he make all that money writing & lecturing about fields that he has never had the guts to actually work in himself-Which is everything outside Linguistics! Instead of seeking an actual Policy-Making Position Himself, and-with his superior wisdom-Show he can do a better job, and get better results, than those he has spent his career merely criticizing from the sidelines, like the armchair critic that he is! And btw: We can debate the, ' morality ', of the Viet Nam Conflict, but in all the years since the Iraq War, no one-Not Chomsky-Not anyone else-Has ever produced any proof that the Bush Administration knew that the pre-war Intel about Iraq was not true at the time! No One! So please get your facts right on that point!
@@mck1972 Comrade, I read your comment with interest, and understand where you're coming from, I really do. However, your opinion on Chomsky - the man as you portray him - is yours to hold, wrong as it is. Firstly, when a mediator of a debate, television presenter, interviewer, documentary maker, whoever, describes Chomsky as a linguist, they use that term to say he is a man with academic credentials. His job at M.I.T., as distinguished professor, meant he couldn't be dismissed as just some nut. His lifes work was telling the people how they are consistently lied to and deceived by those who are supposed to have their best interests at heart. You may find truth uncomfortable but deny it at your peril. Secondly, we can't debate the morality (I know, a big word) of the firebombing of innocents in Vietnam because the whole assault was unquestionably on a scale immoral beyond debate. The lie spun to the American populous claiming 'weapons of mass destruction' in Saddam's Iraq in order to control oil resources in that country is a shameful thing for any decent American citizen to have to face. You seem to suggest that pre-invasion intelligence didn't show there were no WMDs in Iraq but surely the burden of proof works the orher way - intelligence sources should have shown there WERE weapons of mass destruction in that sovereign state in order to be mandated to attack Iraq to prevent possible aggression by Saddam. Facts, you say -those are worth a ponder! Chomsky's one hundred books are full of facts and he would laugh at any contention that his business is a money one. He is also a tireless activist - in three dimensions in protests on the street and through media work spanning 60 years. Thank you for reading this far.
@@robertthomas4234 , I have never denied Chomsky’s expertise in the one field of Linguistics. Yet Chomsky’s expertise in the one field of Linguistics is simply not relevant to any field outside Linguistics. Nor does Chomsky’s expertise in the one field of Linguistics grant him any expertise in properly establishing that people are, ‘ consistently lied to and deceived by those who are supposed to have their best interests at heart. ‘. Because establishing that anybody, ‘ lied ‘, or ‘ deceived ‘, anyone else, requires producing legitimate proof of what was in their minds at the time. Chomsky produces ZERO legitimate proof of what was in anyone’s mind at the time! Chomsky’s paranoid conspiracy theories about what HE THINKS anyone else’s motives were-Are NOT legitimate proof! And apparently I need to reiterate that the Worse that Chomsky THINKS that our Policy Makers have acted all these years, then the Worse that this makes Chomsky himself look, for never seeking an actual Policy Making Position Himself, and-with his superior wisdom-Show he can get better results! Instead of spending his life merely complaining from the sidelines about fields that he has never had the guts to actually work in, nor accept responsibility for, himself-Like the armchair critic that he is, and calling it, ‘ tireless activism ‘! And apparently I also need to reiterate that in all the years since the Iraq War-No One, Not Chomsky, not anyone else, has ever produced any legitimate proof that the Bush Administration knew the pre-war Intel to be untrue at the time! No One! Again, Chomsky’s paranoid conspiracy theories about what HE THINKS anyone else’s motives were-Are NOT legitimate proof!

Sorensen really was a close advisor of Kennedy. Kennedy is documented as authorizing and centrally controlling Operation Mongoose. Acheson ran a private law firm blocks from the White House, and was not formally employed as a Kennedy advisor, yet is also documented as having directly advised Kennedy on key issues and even acting as an emissary on his behalf. Acheson must know this, why dispute it? Crazy stuff.
He was underestimating Noam Chomsky's ability to recall the specifics of such an obscure document that had nothing to do with the topic at hand. The only thing Noam couldn't recall was the page number of the declassified document, which Sorrenson asked for. I had secondhand embarassment for him-he didn't even want to do the follow up, but was forced to by the presenter.💀@@Anttys_WeyTua_CTa_Eu986
This video kept me watching for the full length, and now I REALLY need my morning coffee. Thanks Mr. Chomsky, you are the best! (My first discovery of his writing was through linguistics at the University.)
I would love to hold a binding referendum in the USA asking, "Do you want the USA to be the world's policeman?". The question should have been asked long ago.
It would pass overwhelmingly, haven't you been paying attention? People only oppose wars in the US vocally when 1) it involves conscription, 2) it is seen as a wedge to use for partisan purposes. The Bush administration benefitted from the Iraq war using the second condition, as the 'midterm' mentioned at the beginning here went in favor of the governing party for the first time since the Depression (even in WW2 the Democrats lost a significant number of seats in 1942), but eventually it turned against them the opposite way. The Afghan war never gained the same controversy & largely was just disregarded in most discourses, which is why it went 20 years before people pretended for a month they cared about the aftermath of the withdrawal before predictably forgetting it happened. Right now everyone claiming to be for Ukrainian direct intervention would disavow immediately & revise history when the body bags started showing up at Dover. Look how at the beginning Chomsky even considers Iraq had WMDs, which was the overwhelming consensus prior to the Iraq intervention even by opponents, it's revisionist history that the Bush administration was the lone voice selling a position that everyone else bravely opposed but was disregarded. The original opponents were claiming the worst case scenario was going to be fighting Ba'athists itself, I can only think of 2 people discussing the possibility of internicene tribal aftermath (1 of which was supporter Christopher Hitchens, making the argument it would be better for the US to be present in such an event than letting it happen upon self induced implosion of the regime, for regional stability). But no, people who think like Ron Paul or Kucinich don't really exist in America, people just say that when a war is unpopular & shamelessly shill for the next one unless they see a partisan disadvantage, which is why Republicans have beenp pretending to oppose war but all the neocons went back to their original positions in February when thinking about fighting a nuclear power.
Sorensen was spectacular in one regard; his adherence and blind loyalty to the Cult of Kennedy. Perhaps all apologists teaching at Harvard should be retired. Chomsky is justifiably laughing at the status-quo, while pointing the way towards WHY they would recklessly destroy almost everything. It's a shame he didn't have even more to elaborate.

Why Iraq? Well oil of course, but also Syria. Having control over those 2 countries creates a land bridge between the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf. Also protects Saudi Arabia and contains Iran. Oil, power, politics.
27:50 to the end of his talk he eludes to having simple measures to meet the goals of the war on terror but does he state the simple goals to end war? Nope times up, the agreed time limit for TALKING stopped Noam for explaining how his ideas could stop war, but happy to keep taking questions.
'Why Iraq? That's an interesting question and I'm glad you asked it. The US Military only does hot countries with natural resources who pose a threat to us. Iraq fits this demographic.'
52:03..the question was " elaborate on your simple ways to stop war" his answer was to support Iran..isn't this the exact type of policy that he says creates on going conflict and terrorism?
You know that one important goal of USA to invade Iraq is mainly divide that country and put the minority Shi'a sect to the power and of all with entire partnership with Iran. By the way the same plot is ready is slowly cooked in other parts of Muslim countries, and of course you know how they do this. They use different tactics, creating and financing NGOs, pushing and forcing their dictators in the regions to recognize tribe dialects as languages, promote so called human rights and gender equality, creating conflicts and civil wars and then asking for so called self-determination and so forth

He's talking about humans as a species (the biology's experiment with higher intelligence) and about actions that will lead to our extinction, perpetrated by our own hands.
Once again, Chomsky presumes to judge others in (Yet Another) field that he has NEVER actually worked in himself! And yet some people take this ridiculous old man seriously! 😀
I'll answer myself...because nothing anybody says in public discourse or anywhere else can possibly make a difference, because all they were fighting about during and after WWII was who was going to be top of the Fascist heap. Its a fait accompli.
@kimshaw-williams not true, talking to the masses is exactly what the media does to propagate. he is a danger to _them_ . fortunately, he is so good in his field of linguistics that his benefits outweigh the truths he spreads. if he was not an immensely successful scientist, he would have disappointed already.
