The world-renowned linguist and dissident Noam Chomsky was discharged from a São Paulo hospital in Brazil last month as he continues to recover from a stroke last year that impacted his ability to speak. His wife, Valeria Wasserman Chomsky, told a Brazilian newspaper he still follows the news and raises his left arm in anger when he sees images of Israel's war on Gaza. False reports that Chomsky had died went viral online in June. We speak with historian Vijay Prashad, who co-authored his latest book with Chomsky, _The Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the Fragility of U.S. Power_, and was able to visit him twice while in Brazil. He describes Chomsky as "a beloved friend, adviser, confidante, but in some ways the one who helped explain what was happening in the world for decades." When Prashad was with Chomsky, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva also stopped by.

He is 95 years old, he has done a lot and humanity is thankful for his work
@@nearthefarworld this is a tired nothing burger, you should probably read up on his actual "connection" to Epstein
He has done far more for this world than most can even dream of and I will always be greatful for his sacrifices.
@@nearthefarworld His first wife Carol is the best wife, for sure. She may have been the moral compass the whole time, while Noam was the brains
@@zombiehampster1397 true, tough to find an equal in the 20th century

Like what?
Did he cure cancer?
He is a sellout.
I do believe that there are many "important" people in the world who will be happy to see Noam gone. He has been too insightful, too intelligent and too courageous. And most importantly, perhaps, he is a Jew unafraid to explain just what a disaster for the world the creation and continued arming of the state of Israel has been.
you can see the smear tactics on full display
The whole West other than traitors want to see him gone.
his book "manufacturing consent" changed my life.
Isn't it like common sense 101? Like not being associated with Epstein, which he was?
Same here -- some thirty years ago. Most brillant mind of his time, the one and only «modern Socrates»...
@@fabiengerard8142an absolute traitor.
Chomsky Reader was my first book from him. Was enough to change my view of the world forever.
Traitor who?
I'm Brazilian and we will always be deeply indebted to Chomsky. Best of wishes in his recovery.
🇧🇷
As an American, I pray that he's not buried on our soil for he is truly a treasonous dog.

Prayers for Chomsky
I believe that Dr. Chomsky is an atheist. Do prayers work on them?
🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏
Yes, in America, prayers always help. NOT! Sending positive energy.
@@123benny4 are you crazy
@@123benny4 Sending "positive energy" requires just as much magical nonsense as sending a prayer. Send him some money. That's real and people always appreciate it.
"He still follows the news and raises his arm in anger" gave me a good chuckle. I wish him all the best. It really pains me to see him suffer these severe health issues, especially in times like these. His work has perhaps had the biggest influence of my understanding of the world, and I will forever thank him for that. Godspeed, Noam.
"left arm" :)
He's a traitor so f*** him.
A true scholar. A wonderful speaker.
He is the greatest scholar and intellectual in the World. Lots of Love to Chomsky
He's associated to Epstein
He thought people that refused the vaccine should be starved.
😂
Deep love and appreciation for Vijay and Chomsky. Thanks. Peace unto you.
Genuine, honest, brilliant, moral, practical, humble, peaceful, diligent, patient, revolutionary thinker. Can't say enough good things about this kind man.
Attended Prof. Chomsky's lectures in India in 1999- 2000, a great thinker, teacher and academic.
I'm a New Yorker.
And I shout out a special saluté to our Brazilian comrades ❤🎉
Salve camarada
Come on James it's not Hugo's (Chavez) time anymore!
I wish it was! ❤
The globalists have taken every one!!!💰
(a few exceptions)
“He still follows the news and raises his left arm in anger when he sees images of Israel’s war on Gaza.”
Fucking legend.
A war that began after Hamas brutally murdered, raped and pillaged …
🤘🏼 ❤
A true man.
Strange a jew like Chomsky would make that gesture.
@@Pfirtzer He is banned from Israel. He has been a harsh critic of the country for years, and a supporter of the maniacs that caused the latest war.
My mind was exposed to the writings and contributions of Noam Chomsky. What a privilege for you to share, especially during these tough times and the horror of inflicted on Palestinians 🇵🇸
by iran and themselves.
Chomsky is 100% right about the fact that language was created not for communication but for thinking. Obviously you have to think something before you can say it and mean it.
Also, a great Humanitarian.
Granting that thought precedes language, it does not follow that language naturally developed “for” thought.
If A precedes B, it does not follow that B was developed for A.
@@nbezbradica Lighten up. The claim, "language was created for x" is not really falsifiable. Applying logic to it doesn't help. Chomsky's claim was a sweeping conceptual generalization that only a life-long academic of his ilk can make; permit the speculation quietly and consider it a flexibility that we, the discerning listener, grants to him tentatively, only because we know that he's dedicated an obscene amount of thought to the subject. If we're being strict, ALL fruits & structures resultant of natural selection have no _meaningful_ purpose, beyond survival. It's just a chicken-egg problem.
@@nbezbradica the function of something is usually defined in biological terms as the phenomena's most common characteristic use. Given that most, almost all, of the characteristic use of language is not for communication and is, instead, used in the head for musing, pondering, thinking, dwelling, talking to oneself and other thinking processes it is clear language is only partially used for communication. Only a small fraction of it is ever expressed. The expressed portion is also simultaneously tied to thoughts in the head, conscious and unconscious. Secondly, one can communicate with walking, clothes choice, dance, facial expressions, and so on, without ever verbalizing anything.
Get better soon Mr Chosmsky! 💜✊!
I named my son after him, simply because we need more Noams in this wicked wretched world..
I agree. And you named your son Neom. Awesome. It is a great name.
@@MuktadirAlam I hope that you are not raising your child to think the world is wicked and wretched. If it is, why bother?
@@johnmcmahon5225 he does not think that way. I know because I wrote to him after I had learned so much from his books. I sent a home-made Christmas card from the South Pacific and asked how he felt about all that cruelty and suffering he deals with. He says, he believes people are fundamentally well-meaning, more like bonobos than chimpanzees, and that the way is to get together with other well-meaning people, as he has. Do that. Do not say, 'why bother.' And you too will enjoy your life.
@@elinannestad5320 What suffering and cruelty did Dr. Chomsky deal with? He was an academic working in offices and classrooms. He was arrested at a few protests, but he wasn't tortured or detained long. He never worked in a prison or psychiatric hospital or on the street. He read about stuff in the newspaper just like everyone else. Anyone can talk or write about suffering and cruelty, and they frequently do even though they live a safe, comfortable life.
Yes!!! Love it!
Noam Chomsky is by far amonge the greatest human being in the history of humanity. I pray for a speedy recovery. I am gratufl for all the wisdom and knowlage I gained from reading his books and writting. thank you Noam
He’s one of the most influential people in any moral persons’ life
But he will never go against the establishment. Covid was proof.
Moral as in lobbying for the unvaccinated to be starved?
@@bunsw2070 the people saw his morality clearly...human rights mean nonshit to him. He even compares trafic lights safety with human rights...clearly he is a system s puppet cause i can t imagine him being so uneducated.
No moral person supports the Russkies though.
@@Azrael_Garou Who are the Ruskies? Is that who they tell you are the boogiemen? What about the yellow peril? Or the Latino invasion? Or the blue haired liberals? How do you hold so many threats at bay? White pride? Conservative Chutzpaw?
Great human being!
I witnessed so many Canadians, and Canadian Jews, where I lived for almost 2 decades, going from ignorance, even pro-Israeli to opposite opinions about the Israel/Palestine issue through his work. One should.rememener that when Chomsky was raising the issue he was for decades extremely isolated but he never gave up. He was from the first western/American voices talking about Palestine. Today, there are many impressive historians and activists out there, most of them learned a lot from Chomsky.
We owe so much to this exceptional man!
May he never rest in peace.
Suggesting starving the unvaccinated for no reason at all was one of his contributions...
@@TacticalMayo Seethe harder. You’ll never have 1% of Chomsky’s influence 😂
@@TrueEnglishMan01 I don't need to seeth tankie. Everyone on the planet knows what's c☢️ming.
@@nicopapaya1791 Except he said no such thing. He said people who refuse have that right but should also have the decency to isolate themselves as to not harm others. Spreading Covid isn’t “no reason” lol
Reading his essays written at the time of the Vietnam War helped me to see the world, helped me to understand what our ruling class does to those who are weak or oppressed. That education changed my worldview and led me to solidarity with all of those who are exploited and oppressed.
Me: Noam should be celebrated as a person.
Society: Celebrates mostly stupidity instead.
Chomsky is one of the greatest American intellectuals in history.
He's not American at all. He's an absolute traitor and he better not be buried on our soil.
You better start wearing your crash helmet, you’ve obviously damaged your brain , he’s a despicable person
@@mojo9291 That's like being the greatest American cricket player in history. No one gives a crap.
Chomsky is one of the greatest -American- intellectuals in history.
@@piccalillipit9211 read David Horowitz book the Chomsky reader , then talk to me , before you say anything, it’s not an opinion book written solely by him , there’s writings from amateur linguist that correspondent. With him very interesting dialogue . Plus much more, if you’re honest, you might have a different opinion of your hero.
If not for Noam, I probably would not be the person I am today! He showed me the way of leftist though.
Chomsky denounces both left and right - interesting how you chose post.
@@webwhisper2701he's far more left than right though, because he is intelligent.
Bless you Professor Chomsky! Thank you for your service and everything you have done to improve humanity! Prayers sent and a healing hug 🤗🙌🙏
Amy and Vijay, thanks for the update on Chomsky. He remains in my prayers. Tell him we all love and care for him. Prayers for his recovery. 🧚♂️🙏🌞✨️💫
Chomsky is an amazing man. Huge respect. ❤
I don't understand. Chomsky was a traitor to his country. Are you a traitor also?
Only three people have ever aswered my e-mail queries. The first was Noam Chomski, the others being David Graeber (RIP) and Scott Ritter. Keep going Professor, we need you more than ever. Hasta Siempre from Nicaragua.
Same with me. He was so fast in replying that I could not believe it. Sadly I am not sure if he is able to type anymore so please archive that email if you can.
I am from India. He responded to my mail too. I archived them in a new tab called 'DON'T DELETE'...Great Man!! Our generation is blessed with men like Dr.Chomsky.
🙌Blessings for this amazing Human. 💙
A political channel in Brazil said that at a moment Lula had his hand tenderly on Chomsky's face and said to him "you are older than me and has much more hair" and when it was translated by his wife Chomsky opend a big smile.
I believe that, this is a very Lula thing to say hahahah :p god bless both
Mr. Chomsky, you are my hero. Was gifted by the Universe the opportunity to see you speak in 2011. All my best to you and your dear family. ✨
Dr. Chomsky, not Mr.
The TRUTH. That is what he is about.
Love you Chomsky!
God bless Mr. Chomsky his insights have always provided clarity.
Noam Chomsky is the light - world owes so much to him.
The light of vaccine adverse events.
@@bunsw2070 do yourself a favour, go back to school - you have much learning to do
@@WingsOfPeaceToronto So I need to go back to school for stating a fact? Lol. Keep worshiping at Noam's bedside.
@@bunsw2070Don’t We All have the Right to be Wrong now and then?
@@bunsw2070 "fact" lol - every fool thinks they are factual :) - keep dreaming, but have pity on your children, do you want them to grow-up ignorant?
If Noam Chomsky were just known for his contributions to linguistics-- he is known as the father of modern-day linguistics due to his theory of generative grammar--he would still be one of the greatest scholars of the 20th century. He's like the Einstein of linguistics.
Noam Chomsky - the truth teller. So deserving of the Nobel Prize, even if he were to decline acceptance.
He wouldn’t decline anything that tells him how important he is . His ego is ten times larger than his intellect, any high school kid can live on conspiracy theories, he’s like the young person. and hears they have a tire that will never ware out. But they won’t do it because they’ll loose money , oh yeah , capitalist pigs , he also endorsed the red menace in Cambodia, he still blamed the US , then when his position was untenable, he begrudgingly backed away from his position . He was and is an empty suit , I question why people would follow him . Mediocre minds think a like !!!!
Well, the Nobel Prize has nothing to do with... nobility. It doesn't make anyone a more noble figure.
@@fabiengerard8142 Nobel invented dynamite! Chumpski doesn’t deserve any thing , except a one way ticket with Jane Fonda to the land of make believe !!! Anti American, giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
It is a surname.
Noam went full fascist during the plandemic, nothing to ge proud off.
Thankyou Amy for this beautiful celebration of Noam and his very dear and worthy friend Lula. God bless these righteous, noble men.💜☮✝☮💜☮✝☮💜☮✝☮💜
This man is the epitome of humanity
Prof. Chomsky is a highly respected professor/intellectual/activist, a brilliant American mind. Wherever he lectures, people line up for a chance to see/listen to this insightful "guru". His legacy to linguistics, in particular, and humanity, in general, is beyond comprehension. It's a shame that he's been ostracized and undervalued by those in power. We all should be proud to have such a great mind/heart in our era. Clearly, he's someone who's beloved across languages and cultures. I feel honored to be Chomsky's contemporary.
yes, sadly power corrupts … and power in the hands of a narcissistic liar is of grave concern to all…
appreciation and love for my greatest teacher noam chomsky
What a honor to share this time in the world with Noam. My God he is brave to be a truth speaker for humanity in the face of pure evil, power and greed. Love you Noam and Allah protect your family and keep you joyful now!
Bless Noam Chomsky. What an incredible human and gift to the world.
One of the greatest ever Americans. Not enough words to describe the debt we owe him.
I owe that Epstein associate nothing
The day an 'Merikan president recognizes this giant behemoth of intellect for his work and TRUTH, I will once again believe in my country's leadership.
@@billhanna2148 shit the day somebody in the mainstream media covers him or any of the dozens of similar contemporaries who are demonized and called communists as if it's some derogatory term. This country is over, it's done, the only question is how much are these billionaires willing to take to their graves with them.
LOL!
He was surrounded by other great Americans at MIT. Anyone who has ever visited the urban campus will be amazed by the number of US Armed Forces officers walking around in uniform.
❤ Chomsky’s Work,
We are grateful for his bravery !!
Great respect for Mr. Chomsky 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
We love you Noam. And to your family in USA and Brazil and beyond. 🙏🏽
I PRAY ALLAH HEAL YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ALLAH IS THE HEALER MR NOAM ALLAH ON YOUR SIDE YOU ARE GOOD MAN LOVE YOU FROM JORDAN
He's not ready to go until he sees Palestine is free.
Or until every innocent child on earth is injected with a , mostly , unnecessary medicine that carries potential side-effects in a small % of people.
But he will.
Palestine is already free and in good hands.
One of the best human beings. Speedy recovery, Dr Chomsky!
Much love to Noam and his family! ❤❤❤
My late father was a similar age and a psychologist in academia. He told me about how he met Noam many years ago at a conference here in the UK and had a great conversation with him.
Wishing him all the best in his recovery. We miss his wisdom so much!
Thank you for your truth 👍🙏.
GOAT!!!
Thanks for the update. NC is a very beloved man! All the best to everyone. dh
This is so sad. Watching Noam Chomsky is where I went for comfort when the things happening in the world were scary and uncertain. He’s so inspiring to me.
mentee Finklestein, stepping up
For you, but for the rest of us in the west, it's absolutely great news.
@@TacticalMayo Can you even see how out of step your views are from all those expressed here by "the rest of us in the West"?
That probably means "the West" is out of step with the rest of the world and its own cultural and intellectual legacies.
I miss his voice especially. A voice of reason and comfort in this insane world.
I am grateful to both him and Amy, for their years of dedication.
They represent the true heart of Judaism, and am so glad to be able to experience their work and influence here in this Life. Truly inspirational. I deeply miss them both already. 😭😭😭And thank you Vijay for carrying on the torch!! ✊and serenity❤
Noam Chomsky, what a blessing to humanity. Thank you Noam. ❤🙏. You are valued.
Sir you are beyond a leader! Thank you for your courage and tenacity to hold power to the light! Thank you and hope your recovery is full of ease and you are surrounded by your most loved.
He's literally not a leader. He did business with EPSTEIN for the benefit of his school, I believe
@@nearthefarworld lol YOU believe. I suggest you do some research that doesn't involve conspiracy theories.
@@zombiehampster1397 Unfortunately that isn't a conspiracy theory. He admitted it.
I'm stunned every time I'm reminded just how broad Chomsky's knowledge and contributions are. He's amazing.
*_Professor Chomsky is one of a kind._*
One in billion
Noam Chomsky has helped me a lot in my political education. Can’t thank him enough for his work and philosophy. He can say some smart shit that’s still easy enough for an average person to understand.
Chomsky,Lula,Vijay, people with wisdom that could have changed the world.
Humanity will regret losing this chance for change very soon .
Chomsky is one of the greatest minds of Humanity.
God bless you Noam you are amazing. Blessings to you and your family♥️💐🥰🌺🌺🙏🙏.. 🌏♥️ you..
I have followed Noam for decades. since I was living in the Middle East in the mid '70s. he is so spot on.
one of the truly great humans of our time. him & Gandhi.
Except for the c o v I d 💉, that gave him a so stroke..💉🚫💉🚫😲 condemnation of the unvaccinated, we're fine, you're not..
Our thoughts, love & warmest wishes to Mr Chomsky. A beloved hero of peace & those who seek peace around the world. ❤❤❤
Blessings for this amazining person❤❤ Mr. Noam Chomsky.!
One of the greats.
Greats don't associate with Epstein
I am grateful to Professor Noam Chomsky for explaining America to me. Professor Noam Chomskys work challenged America to tell the truth.
Wish Noam recovers and have stable healthy body and peaceful mind❤ Thank u for all the knowledge he has given to the world, I first heard his name from listening to Bernstein lecture.
Hopefully he recovers 😢
MAY GOD HELP HIM TO RECOVERY PATH . HE IS A GREAT HUMAN BEING, GOD BLESS HIM.
I discovered Noam Chomsky at 16, watching Manufacturing Consent. He continues to inform and bring clarity to my view of the world to this day. May you recover well.
Best wishes to professor Chomsky🙏🏼 a true hero of everyone who shares his sense of moral conscience and humanity🕊️
He's a hero to traitors but we absolutely f****** hate him here🇺🇲
wonderful to hear news of Prof Chomsky! Thank you. I look forward to reading his recent books.
Chomsky is our hero. We wish him all the best.
He was great until his distain for people who chose not to take the experimental Covid jab. 🙄
“Recovering from stroke”?? Stroke after BOOSTER???
I thought taking the booster made all of us live forever ? 🤷♂️
Weird
💜💜💜Take it easy, young man. 😢 From the USA, praying for your ease and comfort.💜💜💜
At his funeral they should blast pitchshifters song Genius “If dysfunction is our function (and if we learn by our mistakes)
Then I must be some kind of genius.” He and Gore Vidals literature were a huge influence on my mother during her university years back in the 80s and on. Hope he gets well. His exposure is so needed today.
Maybe follow better people then, he isnt that great....this means youre not that informed...BECAUSE HE ISNT.
Chomsky had a lot of influence across several generations- his writings and lectures definitely influenced my worldview & I'm incredibly grateful. He will be irreplaceable, but we need people who will stand up and speak truth to power now more than ever.
I love listening to Noam speak. I have not read all his books. He is a giant and I feel lucky to have gotten to know some of his works.
I'm Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter and I love that ol fart
The world and conscience needs Professor Noam Chomsky
Thank you for everything I've learnt from you Dr Chomsky
I am sad to hear this. I pray he will find healing peace. He is such an exceptional human being on par with Mandela and Gandhi.
Y'know who is conspicuously missing from Democracy Now? Chris Hedges.
What's the story there?
Yes, Chris Hedges is amazing … one of the finest! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@bushies27 Woah! That's a BIG story! Chris Hedges is a truly impressive person in terms of education, life experience, and moral-ethical integrity.
he is the most influential person in my life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤……Wishing him a speedy recovery to keep bestowing on us his wisdom ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is he also recovering from having advocated mandatory quarantine camps in 2021? I think he said food and water for the inmates would be "their problem."
He has always had a tyrannical, callous side which found full bloom during project Covid-19.
His position on 9-11 should have alerted more people to his gatekeeper role decades ago.
Dr. Chomsky was friends with Jeffery Epstein who took care of a financial problem for him. Normally financiers are paid to take care of this sort of thing, but that didn't happen. Dr. Chomsky said that this sort of thing is "personal business which is no other man's concern" , so I guess that applies to every other rich person.
A clever man with some very good writings BUT also one that supported covid totalitarian discriminatory policies. Does he reflect on that time now? I remember him proposing dening food to unvaxxinated.
No speech does not necessarily equate to lack of mental capacity.
An intellectual giant, a moral pillar in a crumbling world. We pray for his complete recovery.
Professor Noam Chomsky will be remembered for his intellectual richness, honesty, and rational thinking. These qualities will inspire generations to come, regardless of their ideological beliefs.
Noam is a living legend. He is a refrence for many of us. His Ideas are here to stay forever.Good recovery Noam. My big Brother from Another Mother.
Noam destroyed his legacy when he supported authoritarian mandates for clot shots. I wonder how many boosters he's had.
THANK YOU NOAM FOR TEACHING US - ENLIGHTENING US - FOR BEING US
YOUR HUMILITY IS ANOTHER OF YOUR GIFTS
BUT SIR YOU WILL NEVER COMPREHEND HOW MUCH AND HOW MANY YOU HAVE INFLUENCED WITH YOUR WISDOM. BEST WISHES
It must me maddening to spend your life fighting for justice and to be leaving the world seeing how everything is still going to hell. I know that I feel that way. I wish him the best. He was and is the most thoughtful and articulate leftist intellectual of my time.
Not all is lost …
I’m sure LOCKDOWNS for some mediocre threat ,will be returning.
And I don’t think we’ve seen the end of government intrusion into the citizens’ medical right regarding refusal of treatment - 💉💉💉
Chomsky would be proud 👍🏼
Noam Chomsky "planted seeds" everywhere he went so all is not lost.
That spike protein keeps on giving
Came here to get some fresh air from Sam Harris unbelivable stupidity and quasi anlysis.
