Lol, listening to this in 2020. The metaphor about “the virus” is especially relevant right now, because clearly Americans know quite well what actions should be done in the face of a virus.
Critics of the truth can not be labeled mad or co conspiiratory. Facts are facts. It's tragic that in this lecture one gets exposed to history not taught in the universit. We must change our policies to survive and live in harmony with each other. Reason and technology is what separate us from our beloved animals, let's not fail on reason.
I'm tired of people getting on him for this. Chomsky is an academic, he relies on documents and facts to prove his points. There is no hard evidence of a conspiracy, no matter how far the speculation is able to get you, that could definitely prove that it was an inside job, so he doesn't go there. He has A LOT of credibility to maintain. If it makes you feel better, he doesn't seem to accept the official story either.
I agree with your assessment of Noam Chomsky's position, vis a vis 9/11. Additionally, architects & engineers for 9/11 truth have done & are still doing the "hard science", which disproves the 9/11 report. Legal professionals & teams are also endeavoring to see justice done. I think that some people just want justice done now and are unwilling to wait, evoking the strong emotional response of "if you're not with us, you're against us" attitude. Then, many others latch onto fantastical speculations, for many different reasons, some of those reasons being more understandable than others. Unfortunately, the latters' actions have many negative impacts on the formers' efforts.
Anyone got a source to the Eisenhower Memo which discusses the "campaign of hatred", all I can find is chomskys quote of it. And chomsky just refers to Douglas Little. I suspect Little will just refer to the Memo...
28:40: "if the merchants and manufacturers in England had decided that they could make more profit if they invested abroad, produced abroad and imported from abroad ... he concluded that they would profit and England would suffer" I tried to find this passage in Wealth of Nations and in Google but failed. Can anybody please help me find this discussion by Adam Smith (if he actually discussed this)?
He is referring to the chapter "Of Restraints Upon the Importation from Foreign Countries of Such Goods as Can Be Produced at Home". I'll quote some passages which may or may not explain how he arrived at his conclusion, I don't fully understand them myself. So you better read the whole thing :) [..] upon equal or nearly equal profits, every wholesale merchant naturally prefers the home-trade to the foreign trade of consumption, and the foreign trade of consumption to the carrying trade. In the home-trade his capital is never so long out of his sight as it frequently is in the foreign trade of consumption. He can know better the character and situation of the person whom he trusts, and if he should happen to be deceived, he knows better the laws of the country from which he must seek redress. [...] a capital employed in the home-trade, it has already been shown, necessarily puts into motion a greater quantity of domestic industry, and gives revenue and employment to a greater number of the inhabitants of the country, than an equal capital employed in the foreign trade of consumption [...] Upon equal, or only nearly equal profits, therefore, every individual naturally inclines to employ his capital in the manner in which it is likely to afford the greatest support to domestic industry, and to give revenue and employment to the greatest number of people of his own country. [...] By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.
Please advise me 🙏🏻in Multilateral life prosperity independence as UN families true love, how’s Christian and Islamic in dividing themselves 🙏🏻, please. I hope we bring life living alternative together ✌🏼. My sacrifice is .
kitabwalli (3 years ago in reply to unity100) ~ 'Yes, but he fails to accept that 9/11 was an inside job.' True, kitabwalli. That perturbed me, too, but . . . possibly, Chomsky knows the powers against him so he might be choosing his fights and arguments. To suggest or admit that it was an inside job would possibly do more harm to his cause than going along with the flow on this charge. • Of course I follow Judy Wood and see her as a powerful leader on that front. Surprisingly, a number of friends & acquaintances I mention the point to say it has crossed their minds that it was more than a handful of vagabond pilots who brought the towers down. I think the idea, if not mainstream, is at least part of public consciousness. Namaste and care, mhikl
I think the term Arab Spring is stupid, though not for the reason you do. Regarding Logan, she was attacked by the same types of thugs that exist in every country, and also rescued by women supporting that "Arab spring"--women, indeed, wearing veils and scarves who promptly covered her and carried her to safety.
He did mention in a vid on here that 9/11 couldn't be inside job as there would have been too many people involved and the chances of exposure would have been too high. I think vid is something like Noam Chomsky 9/11. (In my opinion, it doesn't matter, he thinks rationally and objectively on all topics and that is great inspiration).
For a real counting of the 'cost' of colonialist--imperialist wars surely you count all deads as equal lives lost , plus misery to both sides ( including pollutions' and toxics' cleaning costs ) , on populations of all countries envolved ! If it is hard to do on monetary values , Left scientists should try on hours of labor and services lost or gained , I tried to promote on my minuscule scale the neglected use-value quantified in social credit , counting hours of social activities , taken in universal standard unit , of hours of 'social activity' , ( includes accreditation for buying and for schooling and women's or others' ''volonteer works'' and civil defense etc... values as use-value democratically accepted as necessary social activities , excepting supersticious and non-scientific activities- put on www.oppressedpeople.com and .org as complete alternative to monetary speculative values , whereas social use-values are inalianable social status and non-speculative ! ) Not many cared on left , neither on right for sure !
RUclips starts cutting-out some comments from internet ! We have entered in DARK AGES after some 1600 years all over again ; this is also added costs , hard to estimate the real total costs of maintaining wars and class-wars , and retarding progress for humans on this planet !
My only complaint is that Chomsky's analysis seems always to be predicated on the assumption that if America did it, it was bad. And every permutation/inversion also applies: if it was good, then it came from someone else. If it was bad, then it was because of American influence. Does anyone else in the world (other than Israel and colonial powers) have agency to commit evil on their own, and not because of American influence?
He seems to me to be saying that all empires have done pretty much the same things throughout history and that the USA is just carrying on the tradition.
In school Noam was simply called 'the goofball'. Now he's the crazy old dried up goofball...you've come a long way Noam...lets hope you don't last much longer.
I like that you dismiss Chomsky's opinion by calling him communist, it is an excellent strategy to block out others experience so you don't have to think of your view peripheral.
3:38 Intro skip service
It's been ten years since the arab spring and his words are still true
kind of sad seeing chomsky get so old but he's still great
Amazing to see him 8 years later and thinking the same thing. Cool beard now.
And still going strong.
Indeed.
The alternative to getting old is death.
How lucky humanity is to have Chomsky.
Is any possible admire even more a man than I admire Professor Chomsky ???!!!
مهم لكل العرب والمسلمين أن يشاهدوا هذا المقطع وينصت وا جيدا لما يقوله هذا الرجل
Thanks Noam Chomsky, you are truly inspiring.

Bless you

Very true. Cool to see people still commenting on these!
Who is here in 2020?

We must change our policies to survive and live in harmony with each other. Reason and technology is what separate us from our beloved animals, let's not fail on reason.
And he's a wise man.
thanks for uploading this video please upload some latest update regarding the same topic
what happens is that our leaders don't conspire, they think alike
Police unions have unfortunately diminished the value of public unions, yet they're rarely subject to the public sector union busting.
We need Progressive Reforms of the Corporate State and the American Empire
thank you for posting this :)
You are a respectable figure.
The irony looking back after 8/9 years
Incredibly genius person !!
Libya also has gold, plenty of it.

How did she even get into that room?
yup
So 2018
💕
Please advise what’s happening with Prides irrigation system 😔🙏🏻escalating awareness society 🌎. Please my Father 🙏🏻.
Chomsky is my far right. My far left is Mckenna. I bounce between them.
There are are some younger ones coming along like Miko Pelled but, I don't know if he can have the same patience as I would. It' hard to tell.

Arab Spring Meet American Fall
jimmy dunson how u do that

Seems to make sense to me.
Why barely any mention of Tunisia which is where the Arab Spring had started?
This time? 80% of what he said he was going to do, he did. Look up Obama's accomplishments.
The No.1 American
The world. The world.

... each and every word that Chomsky pronounces is anti-Americanista, right?... 😀

I hate crowds that clap excessively

I did not know they made a sequel to, ' Mrs. Doubtfire ', where, ' she ', talks politics...
Same old Usury, He's not Jesus either.

Now he's the crazy old dried up goofball...you've come a long way Noam...lets hope you don't last much longer.
"In school" smh you waste words.
Interseting that he is speaking about the labourers right which he absolutely no knowledge about since he is a communist "intellectual"
The only thing that's interesting is how stupid your comment is .
I like that you dismiss Chomsky's opinion by calling him communist, it is an excellent strategy to block out others experience so you don't have to think of your view peripheral.
