  • Join us for a conversation with distinguished Professor Noam Chomsky, the author of more than 150 books, Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Laureate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona. He was dubbed by the New York Times as “the most important intellectual alive” and ranked by The Arts and Humanities Citation Index as "the most cited person alive."

    Professor Chomsky discusses a variety of topics, including but not limited to geopolitics and the role of China; US elections; the climate catastrophe; the threat of nuclear weapons; and the future of our economy; followed by a Q&A segment.

    Considering the implications of this speech you MUST ask yourselves "who actually runs America"? Our government's historically-documented utter disregard for the well-being of others, has come home to our own shores : 50 TRILLION dollar upward transfer of wealth. NAFTA. A decimated education system and a healthcare and pharmaceutical industry that creates "harm" through its own business practices. These inequities were implemented by the willful collusion of a theatrical two-party political system. The common good, the well-being of the whole enterprise has morphed into a "cash cow" for those that can afford to get in the game. Democracy has died. Oligarchy reigns. And many, many people didn't see it happen.

    Professor Chomsky is a US National treasure. His depth and breadth of US/ World history is immense as well as being the world's formost leader in the study of linguistics. He maybe getting on in years but his ability to produce a cogent argument remains solid. What an amazing man he is.

    This is the great man of our time. He should be appreciated. His message is the version of saving humanity today from these deadly diseases of selfishness.

    It appears, if you listen between his words, that we are doomed.

    Truth on a silver platter. Noam Chomsky has been my educator, and a hero for over twenty years.

    This man is a walking (in this case, sitting) treasure. Every word, every thought, a precious gem. I envy this man and have had the honor of meeting him in the 1970s whilst working at Amnesty International (London) and again re: Lula and attended many of his lectures. He seems to get better as he ages. Points given to his wife Valeria, obviously. Congratulations and THANK YOU for existing Mr. Chomsky.

    I recently asked the question "why hasn't a US president been charged with war crimes yet?" I should've known. They exempted themselves of course! Sigh.

    He is so wonderful. I learn and am reminded of the truth everytime professor Chomsky speaks. Sometimes with the constant lies perpetrated by those in power, I start believing them, so it's good to hear the truth again from Noam Chomsky. I hope we will be able to avert the colossal threat of global warming. We really need to come together and concentrate on reality.
