I love how Chomksy speech mirrors his writing. Currently reading "who runs the world" Such a great intellectual. May he live long and in good health.
I've just completed this book. Such a great work done by a great man.
He's got that teleprompter software imbedded in his highly-developed brain. He's certainly a human blessing to us all.
Chomsky has been my light, my hope, my trust for many years... Thank you Noam!
Bill Blum? Hersch?
Even ten years ago, one could not imagine Chomsky's voice and words, fading into smooth electronic music. Well, cut the muzak - Let's resist like he always said !! At 91, the best strongest intellectual on earth !!
HE IS NOT THE BEST STRONGEST ANYTHING
@@Manish_Kumar_Singh If you're going to make a bold statement, you'd better back it up otherwise it's just more BS.
@@toddstevens8506
you better back us the previously stated point that he is the best guy
@@Manish_Kumar_Singh When you're prepared to intelligible English I'll respond.
@@toddstevens8506
Please find me a book that says "best strongest intellectual " is grammatically correct.
And if you do, then go ahead and explain me how is Noam is that person
If this man says it the most dangerous moment in history, we should listen...and ofcourse he gets ignored.
Thanks for the interview Laura- covering crucial points, concise and an appreciation for Noam’s time. And thanks, Noam.
I love Noam Chomsky so refreshing to hear his logic and his calming voice of reasoning!!
Chomsky's controlled opposition. That's Big Brother you're hearing.
@@correspondencecommittee5746 Why do you think that?
@@zearottm
Years of leftwing anti-communism/Marxism, CIA anti-conspiracy theory, and lesser evil pro-DP, for starters.
scary but right. he should be the president
He should have been... cause he's too old now (sadly).
Or at least be the president’s advisor.
Am already angry and ashamed that an election to get rid of Chump could be EVEN CLOSE.
I'm ashamed of being a human. were such a destructive and self sabotaging species. We can't live in peace and harmony with anything or anyone it seems!
@@colbysvids Am afraid I feel the same way too often. Nature does not reward stupidity or denial.
The election was close because Biden is inept & was rigged into place. AND many saw verified reasons 4 concern after looking beyond the MSM's censorship of the Biden family's grifting. The evidence is clear & the story "has legs". As it inevitably continues to unfold, a deeply regretful public will turn their wrath on the MSM who misinformed them.
@@maryhalverson5713 It's true that Biden is a mediocrity and another politically tame choice from Wall Street and its puppet DNC (they own the GOP too). But it seems you're unaware that a dedicated GOP Congressional committee, Fox and multiple creditable news organizations have looked into every shred of this so-called Biden story and they agree there's nothing there---as in Zero. Can't say the same for Chump's open attempt to get dirt on him via Ukraine: he should've been thrown out of office by impeachment, but GOP kissed his ass instead. Now it's a question of who gets Chump first, Deutsche Bank or the Russian mob. He's gonna look great in an orange jumpsuit.
The Democrats keep pushing corrupt corporate candidates in a revolutionary era. People are fed up with establishment lies, cancel culture, and being endlessly told they are racist. This is why Trump is pulling in black voters, because many blacks lean conservative and despise being used for "leftist" politics. You see him talk and I would guess end up feeling disgusted, but he is voicing people's complaints about the propaganda of the mainstream media and the corrupt nature of politics. In the end I think both choices were bad, but they never give us good ones. I think that is by design.
Chomsky is a Great Man.
Let us do do our best and then some to be serious, earnest and fully committed in our active support of his penetrating wisdom. My hope is that when he does pass out of this plane, the world is on a trajectory of healing and overcoming of the malignant forces that are currently pushing us towards extinction.
i concur - we live in very dangerous times
You are the change we want to see in the world, Thank you Noam
Noam Chomsky's honesty has always been so refreshing, and it is that honesty that the mainstream media cannot tolerate and fears!
Chomsky's the worst of liars, pretending a critical integrity independent of the propaganda system only to manufacture consent to it.
@@correspondencecommittee5746 he's a liar! trump never said he'd refuse to leave, he said he'd fight the cheaters in the election!
@@tinfoilhatter
Biden-Trump, left-right, black-white, and so on generally seem little more than catch-22 schemes for posing false alternatives to keep us moving along to the same predetermined ends as chosen by the powers behind the staged scenes. Besides being unable to recall when elections didn't involve cheating, especially once they became 'safeguarded' by digital means (from Diebold systems with Dubya to CIA-backed Hammer/Scorecard under Obomber for hacking elections and stealing votes), I think this one definitely is being scripted for destabilization campaigns serving the Great Reset goals of the covid coup (which both candidates and parties are supporting in different roles of controlled partisan opposition). As it sounds like you may already be well aware (proudly wearing the smear of tinfoilhatter!*), the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) is particularly instructive in this respect as a playbook for creating the necessary strategy of crisis and tension (aka shock doctrine), as is currently unfolding. (*Did you come across the recent admission in the NY Times that sure enough chem trails are indeed linked to MIC-backed climate control technology?)
Love you Noam Chomsky💖💖
I saw an interview he gave years ago, he talk about nafta and all the things he said came to be true... and that scared me a lot.
Rare smiling Chomsky
The Greensboro Four: David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr. (Jibreel Khazan), Joe McNeil. On January 9, 2014, McCain died from respiratory complications at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina, six days after his 73rd birthday. McCain's death left Ezell Blair (now Jibreel Khazan) and Joseph McNeil as the two surviving members of the Greensboro Four. David Richmond, the fourth member and McCain's freshman college roommate, died in 1990.
So thankful for people like Mr Noam chomsky.. wish more Americans would be open minded and truly listen to his speeches
I'm happy to have subscribed to your work... thank you.
Sir you look amazing. I look forward to getting a little older now.
Is there a post-election special with Mr. Chomsky? I would be interested in his take on the election.
We are absolutely blessed that Chomsky is still alive during the Trump malignancy to provide the most clear eyed and leveled headed analysis. Great man
We're toast.
They call him mystic Noam coz he predicts these tings.
I’ve always been very impressed by Noam Chomsky, and he keeps getting better - there’s no telling what that boy can achieve when he grows up.
I'm glad 91 year old Chomsky lived long enough to see America kick Trump out on his ass.
what a privilege and inspiration to be able to listen to this guy!
Wunderbar!
Great interview. Thanks.
Cool program...subscribed!!
Great channel - just subscribed. Greetings from Greece!
Why isn’t a person like Noam Chomsky never President?
Chomsky is against any type of authority that is illegitimate. He believes in direct democracy, so the system in which we have set up now is totally antithetical to his beliefs.
He could not bring himself to stoop so low. He lacks the vanity, the stupidity and the cupidity which is required. Being honest is a impediment for the job of U.S. President!
Because Noam Chomsky is an intellectual but not a leader. See what Harry Truman said among other things about leadership: 'My definition of a leader in a free country is a man who can persuade people to do what they don't want to do and like it.' The world needs true leadership from North America. This is not happening...
Probably because politics corrupts.
Because he does more for the ruling class system as one of its controlled critics.
Noam Chomsky has a beard. He’s 91 years old and still healthy. Congratulations to him.
We keep playing by their rules, we lose. How long do we keep doing the same thing over & over & over & over again?
This wonderful man is right, that the problems we are facing in the world are the problems of the whole world. But they are also man-made, unfortunately. There are none so blind as those that will not see.
No offense but you should get a degree in the art of saying nothing. Make a fine politician :).
He is sharper than Trump & Biden combined. The man is indestructible .
You should have written than, not then. Words matter, definitions matter
@@rickciuca1 Just pointing out the flaw is more then sufficient.
@@spiritualanarchist8162 *than
Love the guy! Such a decent, honest intellectual!
wise words and a cool beard - perfect combination
great interview
POLITICS AND RELIGION.
THE WORLDS TWO GREAT DIVIDES!
He was right about the polls.
He is the most educated and genius person on Earth I can think of now.
Chomsky is a modern day prophet.
(Without the religion, of course.)
Chomsky is a voice of reason, intelligence, and truth.
Thank you for being respectful to this man. I was disgusted by the way he was treated by small- minded jerks on the left recently because they don't want to vote for Biden. But YOU CANNOT DENY THE TRUTH OF WHAT HE'S SAYING The environment has a much better chance with Biden. And no matter if you disagree with Mr. Chomsky, he deserves respect. They disgusted me. I will never say their names or watch their shows again. But this lady has respect so thank you. Because this man is a treasure, we are lucky he's still here to explain things to us. Well I know I am.
Read and you won't need Chomsky.
Ending fracking and importing oil from the Middle East again. Yeah, that´ll help the environmen, with higher energy costs for the working American and our negotiations with adversarites, when we once again become energy dependent on their ecosystem.
Did he say the 👉🏾 ASSASSINATION OF GEORGE FLOYD 👈🏾😳??
My god, he would remember Roosevelt...
Yay I needed to hear from Noam right fucking now!
A non-melanated person with two eyed seeing. #evolution 👊🏾🖤
No violence. No intoxicants. We did see flintstones family polygamy. No intoxicants. No violence. We did see flintstones family monogamy. No violence no intoxicants. We did see pebbles and Bambam birthmarriage in here.✌️
"After the assassination of George Floyd, they broke out with enormous popular support."
This unity of people who stood up for justice must be remembered long. It must be written out on school textbooks so people of young age will get to know of the people and the activity.
What happened to Chomsky? He used to be so feisty he's just a shadow of his former self.
Hes 91?! Haha I think he's going along pretty good considering all the bs he has witnessed in his life 🤣
@@MsTMarie83 Well he seemed much better 4 years ago such as this speech ruclips.net/video/mrE5EZr5ZVY/видео.html
@@michaelwright8896 how sad... these past few years have really seemed to age alot of us i guess :(
what did he mean that the mobilizations were without any precedent at 5:00? the precedent was the years of organizing and activism he said
From the broader context, I think he meant in scale
@@alexbuccheri5635 yeah maybe, he is like 91 tho super sharp nonetheless
Checking yourself in your phone screen every two seconds suggests that you're not fully paying attention to what you guest is saying.
Trump said he would dispute it if it was tampered with. He and many others are saying it was so it's before the courts but Trump has made it clear that he'll step aside if the courts say he has to.
Noam was right about the polls.
He was, totally.

its sad and very scary what he says toward the end .. that we have just a few decades to try and change course ... otherwise humans face oblivion due to climate change
I am no Biden man. However, the basic decency of Biden, employing terms like ‘we’ and ‘us’ while calmly speaking the truth, compared to the bombast, hatred and conspiratorial lies from Trump is nothing less than stunning. The sickness, falsehoods and nightmare racism of Trump is almost over.
Trump and the evil cult - gang that follows him will forever be a dark stain on American history. Take heart. Despite the constant propagandist lies from Trump, Fox, and Limbaugh America has prevailed. Now, with Trump fired we can get back to being America again, instead of a television reality show run by a mean child.
You’re fired Trump!
Strange coincidence that Noam grows beard close to the Christmas. Do you hiding something from us, Mr Chomsky?
The biggest disappointment I have with the US Elections and also elections in general around the world (this also applies to South Africa) is the choice of candidates. Isn't this THE race where you should have "the best of the best" competing for the top job in the free world / country / county / municipality / ward?
Instead both major US parties have put forward candidates that are so flawed that it degrades the position they are vying for. To think that Joe Biden is the best that the Democratic party could muster as their candidate is a sad indictment of the system that put him forward as their fighting knight. This, is where the system actually failed. Why are the only 2 choices a psycho twat and a daft twat?
To cut a long story short, both candidates are "Post Turtles/Tortoises".
Why would a person of good quality want to be involved in politics? The art of spending other people's money and claiming credit if you succeed in building something. That something you make, the hidden cost being all the money you took that would have been put to better use by individuals in a free society. Imagine if this theory was applied to art, literature, architecture. Instead of real beauty created by an individual you'd have mediocrity.
@@Frank22164 Why would you want a good person in the highest office of the greatest superpower in the world?
@@JohnSmith-yl9en Broad question that can be interpreted six different ways, and your tone apparently sarcastic but not expository enough.
Chomp-sky prophet of DOOOOOM!!!!
Insist in crime maybe something happeng. Waiting for hope.
(Part 6)… On the other hand, you need your country to be HEALTHY , so it can continue to function hopefully smoothly : the world over, we all normally love our country to a certain extent, and even if we are exiles, we NEED the country that is hosting us to BE HEALTHY, if only so that it can continue to help and support us…
So, basically, it looks like this, doesn’t it :
If the TRUE OWNERS that we are of these hidden fortunes, the lack of which empoverishes so ignominiously our countries and their social systems, then all we’ve got to do is to EXPRESSLY ALLOW our tax institutions to go and get it where it’s at. If you ARE the happy owner of a successful flourishing company, it is YOURS to decide whether you want to pay taxes on it or not, is it not ? The Linguee site found this quote to illustrate the meaning of a NOMINEE : «A nominee can act for an obligee or an obligor.» (Chic, alors !…) (>> part 7)
Senile 90
(Part 8) 5) If you cannot find your name in the Panama Papers data bank, it doesn’t mean that it is not used in the manner described here : remember that the Panama Papers spread over a period of time ending at an uncertain date, but at least between 5 to 10 years back from 2020. So anything can have happened since then concerning you : it is legitimately of interest to you and your endeavour is relevant.
6) If you CAN find it in the PP data bank, but your name is too common to know for sure if such or such item found involves YOU personally, then in that case, my advice is you proceed in both cases in the very same manner as described above since anyway, not having any MATERIAL PROOF OF YOUR POINT SUCH AS AN ORIGINAL DOCUMENT OR SUCH - most people are members of the «Z» POPULATION - you will have to express the launching paragraph of your procedure more or less in the following terms : « IF any goods of fortune are ever found on my name anywhere in the world... » Then, giving the tax institution sufficient information concerning you so that there can be no confusion about it, and knowing that they are a State institution, you also know that they can fairly « easily » find all the missing details about the case you submit, and if you are in that case, too, they eventually will find out and will let you know all about it. This is why you must be extra careful that EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS that you intend to be informed of EVERYTHING DONE or SHARED THAT CONCERNS YOU , and that COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY - the basic, elementary respect of your dignity - is an ABSOLUTE CONDITION to your generous collaboration… (>> part 9)
panama papers... where would these be found then?
@@tinfoilhatter Some links to give you the idea of what came INTO THE OPEN : HOWEVER, this is only the tip of the iceberg, and even the medias that have been freely entrusted with the 11 Million documents turned in by a courageous JOHN DOE, the ICIJ, seem now to either not want to disclose any more information that they alredy have, though it is only a SMALL PART of the total number of documents they received ; or perhaps they CAN'T give out any more ; perhaps, they AREN'T ALLOWED TO. Besides, the Mosec-Fonseca lawfirm these documents come from is only ONE among thousands os similar firmas, banks and other such juridico-commercial entities whose practices are the same…
The ICIJ : hundreds of journalists from at least 25 countries around the world working on the PP case at the same time : they worked for months or a year in secrecy to be able to make a big hit with all the information they could, all at once : in the end, many articles came out on the same day in ALL MEDIAS all over the world.
It was CONCERTED ACTION and it did great in keeping the full surprise effect towards the first blow of information to the public on the subject, however NOT ALL INFORMATION got to be treated in this preliminary time. They were probably planning on continuing to publish stuff after the first big blow, but there was hardly another real blow or revelation about that : as the German journalist told me last year, they were still working on some « projects ». I don’t know how much more they did publish after the first wave calmed down, but it sure didn’t change anything to the situation anywhere in the world, nor in any significant way... The guilty parties were annoyed and some politicians even had to resign after disclosure of their actual belongings lying in tax haven hideaways ; some criminal groups were spotted, and I think some of them were either stopped or partly eradicated as a result of this courageous act from the anonymous JOHN DOE, who was taking great risks to do this, were he ever to be found out... but, unfortunately, once the people actively concerned with this and guilty of this immoral conduct of robbing their countries of their legitimate due, so essential to the good health of Society as a whole ; once they found out about it, then they closed the taps, so to speak, probably by pulling their legal "rights" to total discretion and privacy and secrecy, in many cases, if not all, even claiming COURTS' DUTY TO SECRECY about the individual cases : «official secrecy», you call it in English, «secret de fonction» in French.
When looking into the ICIJ data base, we start perceiving that on both INTERNATIONAL and NATIONAL LEVELS EVERYWHERE, this whole business is not only about rich people wanting to hide their fortunes and safeguard them from getting taxed by their governments. Most of the informtion the ICIJ received id still undisclosed so far, either by their own choice OR possibly because they are just NOT ALLOWED to do so, because the numerous screen intermediaries, those "representants" I'm talking about, FORBID THEM, throwing INTERFERENCE and hindering the information divulged by JOHN DOE from being made public. They easily can do that, and it has become standard practice for them in every sort of legal procedure, seing they work with POWER OF ATTORNEY means : they simply pretend the original OWNER does not want the information disclosed. For instances when an informed participant claims to receive MORE INFORMATION on a case, and if it doesn’t fit the purpose of the «preponderant interests» (even private ones), then the will of those ruling background parties simply prevails on that of ordinary, arbitrarily considered unimportant people : it is done on face value, on their financial weight in comparison to big money often secret parties…
Other times, the ORIGINAL OWNER simply remains UNKNOWN, UNDECLARED, and by all means UNWANTED IN ANY LEGAL ACTION AND AT ANY STAGE OF A GIVEN PROCEDURE. HE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT ANY OF SUCH EITHER…

Gus ain't running this Noam!
(Part 3) What can STILL BE DONE, however, is to REMEDY to the truly unacceptable fact that ALL PROFIT NOWADAYS ENDS UP IN PRIVATE POCKETS BYPASSING THE PUBLIC TREASURY ! and this, not only in America, but it is the same problem ALL OVER THE WORLD, mind you...
What most people don’t know - in fact NOBODY KNOWS IF THEY DON’T WORK IN ONE OR AN OTHER SECTOR INVOLVED - is that many of the shadow companies and corporations that are made, whether as true or as dummy companies, in tax haven countries are in fact founded on nominees - nominees which we, little people are, being ignorant of them and meant to remain so about the whole scheme… This is absolutely true, at least, of all, most or many people who have had at one time a « legal representation » over them, such as an attorney (for whatever reason or case), or has filed some day a legal quest or applied for some governmental help - as I said before, it is ABSLUTELY SO IN SWITZERLAND, and there is a good chance that it is so in most countries of the world as well : nothing is more GLOBAL than the juridical realm... (This is why you should’t get too angry at your president to want to build a material wall around your country, because… (>> part 4)
i would like to hear chomsky's view on The Grand Solar Minumum , seems to me that that side of history is never mentioned !!!!
1. He's not a solar or climate scientist? Or any kind of scientist?
2. It would barely make a dent in anthropogenic warming. It's wishful thinking from the fossil fuel lobby and science deniers.
FFS!!!! The solar cycles have been ENDLESSLY investigated and debated without the climate science community. FOR FUCKING DECADES! sigh.
@@r-pupz7032 there's no 'anthropogenic warming'
that's a myth made up by the globalists/eugenicists
(Part 4) ...because in doing so, he prevents in parallel the destruction of the JURIDICAL STRUCTURES that still protect America somewhat from an all-out lawless junglelike international freedom of action for juridically-based commercial transactions. The laws that the wall needs to EXIST provide the parallel protection, on the juridical level, for other domains essential to preserve the sovereignty of your country, such as the real-estate realm, for example, and related to it, the native ownership of commercial enterprises, especially small ones, which are bound to need it more than big ones, I suppose, as they’re more at risk of being gobbled up by anybody that would fancy doing so from abroad… In short, it still prevents (somewhat) very «hungry» countries from coming in and laying ther hands juridically on our land. (This is how I see it, take it or leave it… and pls, tell me if I may be right about it, if you happen to know about these things ; Thank you.)
So we, « little people », must therefore do some research for ourselves concerning our own countries and our personal cases : you need to look it up in the laws of your countries to see if these things are possible, as well as in the juridical foundations of the social structures of your country, and then you scrutinize your personal official files to try and discover traces in hollow that such a thing is perhaps happening to you. (>> part 5)
that sounds like a great idea, but i wouldn't know where to start, nor what to do or say!

Pre-Selection
Oligarchy-Plutocracy
@Accelerationist every time I hear someone say that I think to myself how ignorant they are. they're not mutually exclusive. I don't know what part of democracy angers you so much but I don't want to live in a society with people with your attitude. this is not your country. it belongs to all of us and you need to stop living as though it only belongs to you and your kind.
I want to hear Chomsky's opinion on voter fraud.
An Absolute Monarchy and Depotism(someone to be a living embodiement of libertarianism ideals and force libertarianism on the oligarchy should the oligarchy start infringing on the rights of the population) + an oligarchy comprised of: a Technocracy to keep a country logical, a Noocracy to keep a country spiritual and fullfilled, a Stratocracy to keep a country protected from outside invasion + Libertarianism, Capitalism,Communism = Utopia?
(Note; The Technocracy would have the knowledge of biology and psychology, neuro science to be able to predict which individuals would be pure libertarians(or create an enviornment that would develop a person into the correct monarch) elect a successor monarch that wouldnt be an opressive dumbass and the Noocracy would have the philosophical, spiritual knowledge to do the same or councel the monarch in the right direction and keep them from the corruption of material greed)
Absolute Monarchy and Despotism to maintain/enforce Libertarianism on the:
Technocracy in times of advancement or chaos,
Noocracy in times of change or uncertainty,
Stratocracy in times of war,
Libertarianism = Freedom to be what you want without compulsion of laws or bribery of wealth/money or fear of poverty/danger which leads to
Capitalism = Drive to outdo those that are also interested in being what you want to be or create what you want to create this leads to endless production(born of the drive to compete but the inspiration and excitement of following your passion which creates a natural work ethic because you'll be interested in doing your passion/hobbies even without competition or being "paid" no one pays the artist to paint or the fitness addict to exercise they just do it because its their passionand hobby) and so leads to endless wealth which can be recycled(redistribution) through communism instead of hoarded(creating rich vs. poor divide) or wasted(creating pollution and drain on worlds resources)
Communism = If there are more resources than people or more than the people need or can use give it to those that lack those specific resources till everyone has what everyone else lacks thus creating wealth equality, social equality, eliminating theft, robbery,etc.(why steal something you and everyone else already has) while allowing people to be diverse elites in their field(unique ideal lifestyle which libertarianism allows)
Wouldn't this work and please literally everyone? Because everyone's basic needs would be met by giving them the free basics(food, car, small house thats rent free, electricity cause we have the resources and wealth to do this), giving them freedom to follow their passions instead of doing jobs they hate just to survive or taking classes in university just to get a degree that will get them money, capitalism would still live because people would want to upgrade or make better inventions than others in their fields, the best in their fields would have people volunteering to learn from them by working for them, the volunteers would take joy in doing what they love and would advance in skill to produce better creations or do their passion better and with libertarian ideals everyone is free to be racist, homophobic, homosexual, nude, grow weed, do drugs, own guns, etc. without being able to interfere with the lives of others
Foreign policy is simple the military would be withdrawn from all countries and exist solely to defend the country or aid allies if they are invaded during this change we go through a period of isolationism/non intervention till everyone ends up with jobs they love instead of jobs they have to do and all the homeless get jobs and houses. We can have limited immigration of people persecuted in other countries and of the poor from other countries and have them do the same sort them into jobs that match with their passions so they will enjoy working and produce more. When we reach a period of overabundance of goods and resources(which we already are at) we simply export the excess goods to poor nations this would curb pollution and wasting as well as people hoarding more than they need we could also just trade all the excess goods for persecuted "criminals" and prisoners(like lgbtq people, religious minorities or journalists) of other countries and do the same(if they dont want them we may as well take them instead of leaving them to rot or be murdered again recycle). In general even criminals have a place in society for example looking at things amorally theoretically serial killers and gang members would make good soldiers
Laura, a do it yourself Jamie Lee Curtis...mmmmmmm. Sorry i meant to say what will we do for voices of reason when Chomsky is no longer with us?
@Stable Genius Yes but I don't want hypocrites, I want the real thing. Another Chomsky.
Joe should have had Noam on instead of gaad saad 🤮 doubt it will ever happen
Chomsky. Controlled opposition.
Lol...
Trump will accept fair result once it's determined by the courts. So everybody calm down and stop being drama royalty. 😉 I'm confident it will proceed smoothly within constitutional frame.
the day after is what matters this indicates that time🕰 runs one day ahead of the present, as the present becomes the past which becomes the future , indirectly the present is a fix moment while the past and the future are the reality of a moving time. 🤔
(Part
7 A ) So to begin with, you can :
1) Check out the Panama Papers data bank put on the internet by the ICIJ (International Consortium of Investigative Journalism) and see
if your name’s in it : if so, there’s a chance you are concerned by the issue ;
2) then write to the IRS or other tax institution in your country, and tell them how pleased you would be if they would tax ALL and ANY
GOODS FOUND in your name, anywhere in the world ;
Part 7 C)
3) it would help, perhaps, to mention clearly in your letter for the authorities of all countries concerned, that you allow such and such
a tax institution THE COMPLETE ACCESS TO ALL PORTOFOLIO, FILE AND INFORMATION that concerns you in their active or non-active records
(includ. archives), and that you imperatively require of them (the authorities of the particular country AND the private companies
hosting your goods) that they disclose all information found in them both ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND OF THE CHOSEN TAX INSTITUTION
: you will preferably INSIST on both sides for a COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY TOWARDS YOU... ;
4) then you make it clear that all the private companies hosting your goods AND THE AUTHORITIES of the particular tax haven country MUST comply with ALL LEGITIMATE demands of the tax institution that you authorise, and they MUST LET THEM CARRY OUT ALL LEGITIMATELY DUE TAXING on ALL the money and goods mentionned in your files and portofolios, accounts, etc. INFORMATION and reports of legal actions concerning you directly or indirectly MUST BE DISCLOSED BOTH TO YOU AND TO THE TAX INSTITUTION(S) THAT YOU HAVE NAMED. (>> part 8)
has anyone done this, and what did it do for them?
@@tinfoilhatter The idea is not so much getting something out of it for yourself, but for your country... (see part 10) (For the whole comment in one piece, you can look it up on my blog : Sous Mon Humble Loupe, Noam Chomsky and Donald Trump (Blogger) )
(Part 10) The idea is not so much getting something out of it for yourself, but for your country... especially in the time of crisis we are living and the greatest of dangers it represents for all countries’ economy, particularly for the most modest populations of the world, of the Occidental world that is.
However, only we, poor people alone, are in a position that would enable us to (1) WANT and (2) BE ABLE to do it. The wealthy would scarcely give it a second thought, unless their conscience begins to hurt them a bit - or a lot…
The reason for this is because, for one thing, (1) we little people are "first casualties on the front line" to be foreseen in the eventuality of a total crumbling and fall of our countries, particularly threatening now with foreseable ghastly consequences… While only a small number of people on the side of the perpetrators would be able to survive the ordeal and thrive over an ocean of « casualties » : social « casualties », if ou want to understand the word in an abstract sensem but also REAL casualties, that is REAL LIFE casualties, with people dying in great numbers due to sickness, despair, murder even - just CHAOS, in other words... Already, with the first wave of Covid andits most damaging consequences, the first levels of «well-off populations» in the Occidental world have taken a plunge into poverty or poverty-threatened situations for a good many of them, coming and adding their numbers to the already existing poor.
In my opinion, this is due largely to the late response governments made to the serious problem everybody could witness in China : if the borders HAD been closed right away in November-December, when it first started there, and if people returning home from there HAD BEEN QUARANTINED WITHOUT EXCEPTION at this early stage, then the problem might have touched a FEW jet-set travellers and top commercial people and enterprises which entertain regular exchanges with that country, and it might have INCONVENIENCED THEM to some extent, probably in a mild and benign way, but not in the dramatic way the drastic measures that followed did affect most enterprises the world over : it would not have represented any way near a serious disaster as it turned out to be in 2020, for we see that the disease broke out in a time when luckily, there are usualy not many tourists and middle-class people travelling there in the over general at that time of year. On the other hand, this was not the case in January, because China attracts many tourists from all over the world at that time, eager to visit for the Chinese New Year, people ranking from all levels of society, middle-class travellers and up, for all and any purposes ; then the Chinese people themselves, for whom the holiday is a sacred time and a much awaited opportunity to return to their country each year and visit their families. All these people went there for a few days and came back, and no measures were taken to ensure they were not bringing the didease back with them, still incubating in them. Yet it was…
There again, Donald Trump was ahead of everyone, and he smelt trouble coming : IN JANUARY it says he did mention the need to CLOSE THE BORDERS - not a complete stop of the economy - but it seems he wasn’t heard. Biden even criticised him for it, and later on didn’t see as a non-sense to criticise him for not forcing everyone to stay home and stop all work, so essential for the country’s health... How foolish can one get - or how crooked and sickeningly perfidious… !
What Biden and friends wanted was a TOTAL SHUTDOWN of the country and he got it : do you think he doesn’t want it anymore ???…
(Part 11) So in terms of economy, the first wave was DIFFICULT and bore DIFFICULT CONSEQUENCES : the second wave, second period of confinement, will be dramatic and will have terrible, tragic consequences. As you are having to face ELECTION CORRUPTION, and are still hoping there will NOT BE a second confinement for you, we here in Europe, having no way near recovered yet from the first one we went through all together in spring, we are entering our second period of confinement, imposing a second halt to all small commercial enterprises and allowing only a handful of big ones to keep going : This 2nd confinement period, predicted to be longer than the first, is about to be fatal to many a country, including more likely France and Switzerland.
If Biden gets his way with this, which THE WHOLE WORLD CAN NOW SEE THAT IT IS CROOKED regardless of whether the Supreme Court is courageous enough to GIVE OR NOT A CHANCE to the disfavoured Americans to present materially the proofs of the FRAUDS everybody SEES EXIST INDEED ; if the authors of this amazingly daring but at the same time CHILDISHLY OBVIOUS HOAX get away with it : not only will it be a disgrace for America in the eyes of her own people and of the world’s, but this deplorable imposture will be the sure beginning of very, very, very DISTRESSED AND DARK TIMES…
In my opinion, Covid was fabricated just for that, so that in the name of this real virus, the nasty deception could deploy its tentacles onto ALL sectors of our social life, and, pretending with (empty) promises to do us good, protect us and help us pull through, contrariwise, it is meant to produce the greatest harm of all times. Those that litteraly MADE the situation and profit by it, expecting to do so more and more, are acting as we can see it now enacted before our own eyes, that is whithout an ounce of shame, in a fraudulent attempt to seize a power they’re hoping to use to reach their goal. God help us all ! God help Donald Trump ! God help the Supreme Court and all its Judges !
(Part 12) And number (2) : we are the ONLY ONES TO BE ABLE to do it, we little people and POOR OF THE WORLD…
Certainly, we are and here’s why :
As I explained earlier, the Panama Papers make mention of fortunes and ghost companies’ funds hidden away in tax havens. Many of us happen to BE THE «FOUNDERS» and «OWNERS» of these fake companies, not by our own doing, of course : in almost all cases, we are not even AWARE they exist. No, those companies have been founded ON/IN OUR NAMES by all sorts of very discreet «representants» and intermediaries, who run and benefit from these companies through their «legal representation rights», the which they obtained in all sorts of doubtful manners in the first place, most or all of them being sheer CONFIDENCE ABUSE on their part, at best, but oftentimes also downright FORGERY (I’ll get into this elsewhere and some other time, because it is a LENGTHY subject...) The ONLY PURPOSE of both these intermediaries and the fake companies is to harbour in the quiet huge sums of money, undisturbed and untaxed, as well as UNREACHABLE for the State Institutions of all countries that could wish to lay their hands on it to tax it on behalf of their public treasuries. To be able to tax those foreign financial entities, the tax institutions can act only if the owner submits his data willingly and opens the way to taxing : if he doesn’t, it is understandable that they cannot force their way into another country.
Besides the real owner, any of the intermediaries could provide the necessary sesame that would open the proceedings - but WILL THEY ?? Certainly not. Then since the « real owner », in our case US, does not KNOW he owns a «fruiful company » (or several) under the propitious skies of «Elsewhereland», then guess how he will make its taxing possible ? HE WON’T, of course, because he doesn’t (WE DON’T) even know about this whole scheme, much less have the material PROOFS (original documents only) that they exist… So it is forever heaven in tax havens…
Well, to wind it up, let us say that as is, you and I and everyone concerned in this manner with the confidence abusive managing of ghost companies in tax havens on the names of modest people who ignore they even exist ; all of us «happy owners», of one or several thriving «business affairs» in remote places of the world, we are pleasantly enabled to try and do something most positive for our countries, that is we can allow them to tax our newly discovered fortunes or suspected-to-be fortunes, after they themselves, with the help of national and international police departments if necesssary, have verified the facts and made all the necessary moves to recover access to those dormant heaps of wealth...
In this time of Covid and its catastrophic consequences on the financial structures of our Society, couldn’t such a disinterested gesture, if it was repeated by many, represent the Number 1 solution to fight and prevent the programmed bankrupcy of our countries ?? Covid might not be the origin and beginning of our countries’ deep financial problems - deep state, deep troubles… - but in our unsettled and deepply perverted social contexts, it is sure meant to precipitate their doom…
So in conclusion, because as it is, there is NO WAY we can enjoy these fortunes for ourselves, let’s not show ourselves greedy and selfish like those who heaped them up over there : let’s share the wealth for the benefit of all and, as is promised, in time of need, it will come back to us again…
So get to your computers and question the ICIJ PP data bank !
And mind you : WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO LOSE ???…
Are you going to mention the Jesuits?
We did have historic turnout. Near 70%, the highest voter turnout in 120 years (since the 1900 election). And Trump still amassed the 2nd highest number of votes in U.S. history. Biden has the most in U.S. history. I think that's probably the most troubling sign. There has been a saying for a very long time that if voter turnout is high Republicans can't win. Voter turnout was historically high and Republicans won several seats in the House, held on to the Senate, and Trump was barely defeated. That saying about high turnout = progressive wave has now been thoroughly discredited.
I feel like it's over. We can't recover.
Where does the estanblisment you have been talking about- stand in this equation? Trump for sure is a disastrous person. BUT Isnt establishment preventing Trump re-elected so undermining the US elections legitimacy which might have consequences going far beyond? Just thinking. Thanks!
(Part 5) If so, you can try to «enquire somewhere» about this, but you will more likely be looked at as if you’d gone coockoo in the head, because it is not part of the program that ou should EVER BE GRANTED ANY ACTUAL MATERIAL PROOF of the fact… Of a truth, our names (« normal » people’s names) are being used to « store » money there, in Panama and other tax havens, and since we will NEVER KNOW ABOUT IT, WE WILL NEVER CLAIM THOSE FORTUNES, nor pay our taxes on them, nor make any kind of move to enable public treasuries of ours or any countries, to go in and tap that money for the benefit of public funds. That’s how come public debts get worse and worse all over the world, and public treasuries get poorer and poorer everywhere, too, while all the world’s wealth is rapidly channelled into a smaller and smaller number of private pockets RICHISSIMI...
The thing is not to let it discourage you : frankly, WHAT DO YOU CARE ABOUT THIS MONEY, since you’ve lived without it so far and didn’t even KNOW IT EXISTED and NEVER ENJOYED A PENNY OF IT before ?? Besides, by the time it gets to a tax haven, it is so mixed up with CRIME MONEY, that even though it bears no smell, as they say, it is nevertheless sooo dirty that you’d do better NOT TO TOUCH IT AS IS. (Think about KARMA, and BEWARE…)
On the other hand, … (>> part 6)

Wonder why I lost my comment on here?
Anyway why does Chomsky think Biden is so great... and can Biden & his handlers save us from corrupt central banking, late stage capitalism?
I’ve watched all of his recent videos and he definitely doesn’t like Biden. He argues Biden is the lesser evil of the two.
Chomsky always advocates voting for the lesser evil - the Democratic Party. But he is wrong! Very wrong! Biden and the Democrats are every bit as awful as Trump is - possibly even worse! Voting lesser evil has gotten us to where we are now. Either vote for what you want or don’t vote at all. But voting for Biden after he’s made it clear he will give us nothing is simply stupid. The Democrats are corporate warmongers. You vote for them, you’re responsible for what they do.
It is not that Biden is great. It is that Trump and the GOP in its current state are dangerous, because they refuse to take any action on climate change other than furher accelerating it with environmental rollbacks, continued fossil fuel subsidies and unwillingness to listen to science and activists. In this regard there is hope for Biden, he has pledged to receive no oil money in campaign contributions (as opposed to Trump who have recieved tens of millions of dollars), which is a predictor of future policy. And he's at least willing to start working towards net neutrality which is absolutely crucial.
@@laskieg Don’t believe anything he says. He’s a proven pathological liar. He’s already refused to ban fracking.
@@laskieg - the election now is mainly about covid. It's ruining the real economy. How is Biden going to stop covid spread? Have the leaders in Europe been able to contain covid spread?
(Part 9) To help the tax institution to receive ALL relevant information concerning the fortune and goods to be taxed, it is good you make sure to express clearly the right you give them to obtain it fom ANYWHERE THEY SEE FIT TO ASK FOR IT, whether from national or international official authorities, for example, police, institutions or journalists, such as the ICIJ, or from private banks and companies of ALL sorts : anything that can help them to trace your goods all the way from the tax haven to you, while having to pass through countless screen companies and banks’ acrobatics...
It certainy will not be an easy task, but in this time of unfairly manipulated covid tragedy, with countries having to care for millions more of unemployed people while their treasuries are being drained of their last drops and very soon none will be left at all to care for anyone in the most needy sectors of our societies : isn’t it worth the try ??? So what if you are wrong or turn out not to be a taxable citizen of the world : there ARE millions of cases among us where people ARE owners of fortunes unawares. WHY Not TURN IT IN ? Alone, none of us can retrieve it for ourselves anyway, so it’s not like you are losing anthing, on the contrary.
Your country needs it. You’ll be blessed for it. A good and disinterested gesture, a selfless deed might cast that «dormant bread» on the waters, and it might just «come back to you in time of need»…
So dare the courageous step ! And you will reap in due time…
that sounds like a great idea, but,
what fortunes do you mean?
@@tinfoilhatter Look at what the Panama Papers affair was, and know that a good number of ghost offshore companies are made in little nobodis' names, the man of the street, by "representants" he doesn't even know exist most of the time ; then you can begin by looking up your name in their data bank, and if you want, follow points 1 through 6 in parts 7 and 8 of my comment, and GO BY FAITH : if the Panama Papers concern you, or if "representants" have made one or more offshore company in your name unbeknownst of you, don't worry, IRS will know how to unearth it and do their job with it.
Personally, I am just a little nobody person like you, but my experience with my fraudulent family has led me to understand a number of things which conclude to what precedes, that I'm daring -only- now to share publicly.
However, like Mr Chomsky says somewhere, I think : "People don't realise how much depends on them and HOW MUCH POWER THEY HAVE..." He was speaking of making a good riddance of abusive financial powers.
I add : that's because they don't KNOW all that is done to abusively behind their backs ; but we don't have to wait until we get paper proofs in our hands to act, once we KNOW something IS happening. Let's not wait and do it NOW. Let's give power again to our police and State institutions which are in fact tied up with their hands behind their backs when it comes to taking actual measures against this : you can imagine that since he got caught for tax frauds in the 30s, Al Capone has LEARNED his lesson, and he's been working eversince at disfiguring our Laws so much, that he even gets the red carpet unrolled before him.
Yet, if WE, little people are OWNERS, then we do what we will with our own... no ?
Just find out if you are, and if you are not sure, go ahead with it anyway : those who have access to the level these things are taking place will find out. What counts is to get crime money BACK INTO THE PUBLIC TREASURIES. Only WE can do that, because those who live high on the hog on it will never want to do it, and it will depend on the level of their CONSCIENCE whether they want to continue to cover up for "those people" who abuse them as much as they abuse us. You'll be surprised how deeply and largely this thing is embedded into our systems : but what is right IS RIGHT, and even "those people" will more likely not be able to resist a tidal wave, if we are so lucky to cause one : a TIDAL WAVE OF HONESTY and TRANSPARENCY, for the good of our countries.
I have good faith that Mr Trump will never make opposition to it, if it happens - unlike B. in my opinion... That's why I'm praying HE WINS.
' Hope I expllained enough for now, I must go.
Good luck to us all.

Shut down the manipulated covid tragedy, and focus on the creation of wealth, not its depletion.
Is Noam for socialism?
Yes, he's very left wing.
@@ThanhTriet600 yes he's a commie, but he might be so mind-frack'd that he believes it's actually a good idea! crazy, right?
He sees himself as more of an anarcho-syndicalist.
(Part 2) This man, Mr CHOMSKY, is right about one thing, though, I'm afraid : it's that the environmental problems "are fixed", as he says, but that has been so for decades, and those responsiible for that are D. T.'s PREDECESSORS, as well as the whole world (icluding US (you and me) and our way of life, which NO ONE so far, by the way, is willing to change, for all I know.... To flunk this responsability on DT's back alone is just intellectually DISHONEST.
D. Trump cares to see America thrive again with sufficiency for all. Personnally, I care to see THE WHOLE WORLD afford SUFFICIENCY FOR ALL, as well as refraining from what in our way of life causes the planet's environmental problems : this is no game and no uncertain issue of "mabe this" or "maybe that" : "if we DON'T act at last, we're doomed environmentally" this man says, but he also says that it is already unavoidable and that we ARE doomed without remedy - he says it clearly (so please, be honest at least, and don't tell us that it all happened or was decided in the last four years…) And believe me, Biden IS NO SOLUTION TO THAT PROBLEM !
good for you, you're right, chomsky is lying! , he ain't foolin' me, he fools a lotta geniuses, doesn't he!
@@tinfoilhatter sadly yes...
Yet, this is only because he doesn't say EVERYTHING... like everybody else... Whether he KNOWS about those hidden things that go on, I cannot tell. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt...

What a crock.
Après avoir visionné cette vidéo, je me suis demandé si c'était bien la même personne qui avait écrit le livre "La fabrique du consentement". Aujourd'hui par ses propos il succombe à la propagande médiatique qu'il avait auparavant si bien dénoncer! Très décevant. Une question entre autres se pose: est-ce qu'une personne reste assez lucide, surtout si elle est sollicitée encore de tous côtés, pour se dire qu'à un moment dans sa vie, il faut mieux renoncer à la parole publique.
By activism, does he mean burning and looting? What was the point of burning down a Sci-Fi bookstore in Minneapolis or trashing a dental surgery? What kind of turd does that?
Oh wow, hey Chomsky....how does it feel to know that history will call you a fake.
A fake, phoney, fraudulent Numbskull!
Him and his phoney alter-ego playing as Stephen Hawking.
Christ! Could it be MORE obvious?
"That's" DUMB!!
Pull him out!!
I am acutely disappointed to hear Noam Chomsky use the words "murder" and "assassination" in reference to the death of George Floyd. These words are inflammatory in any instance and are highly so in this one. They serve no constructive purpose and can only exacerbate an already overheated controversy. This is not a comment on the controversy itself but instead an observation on the judgement of Noam Chomsky whom I have always admired as an intelligent, wise, and fair minded individual. Those qualities appear to be absent in his commentary on such a tragic and emotionally charged event.
How would you refer to the George Floyd ’instance’?
Chomsky has drifted into 'newspeak' :(
@@Max-kv8uw Your segue hardly qualifies as subtle.
@@garyhoddinott9076 I don’t understand what ”segue” means there?
It´s unlikely you have seen the unedited bodycam footage, and it will give you different context than the current narrative in the media:
´RAW: Released George Floyd body cam footage from former officers Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng´

Let's not forget that this guy is a Marxist.
Old but still doesn’t make any sense
Constant political activation? So tiresome to spend or waste a life that way.
Noam Chomsky's great, as ever, but the interviewer should be interviewing Britney Spears or Gaga. She possesses no perspicacity what so ever, and her every utterance informs us of her shallow and protected existence.
Poor Noam. He has gone over to the dark side. Voting for the lesser of two evils is crazy. I voted for Jill Stein in 2016 and voted for Howie Hawkins & Angela Walker of the Green Party this time. I am sleeping well and with a good conscience.
Noam isn't just voting on principle, he's voting to affect the outcome.
@@Supernova4me And the outcome will be Trump or Biden? The difference I see is Biden is a war monger. If he wins we will be at war somewhere (probably Iran) soon after. Thought Noam was a peace nick?
Gone over to the dark side? He’s been consistent about his lesser of two evils strategy for decades
@@paulwellman1030 The choices aren't great.
@@Supernova4me Very understated.
I no longer have respect for Noam Chomsky after he suggested voting for Binden was better, how about not voting at all. maybe when nobody shows up to vote the illusion of a democracy will be over! I now listen to every word Chris Hedges says, he is our only hope and savior!
if you rely on other people for your opinions, you're doing it wrong.
I want to like and dislike this one. Ha ...unless eeeeeveryone refused to vote, voting is better than not voting. Unless you're voting for a party that denies (at best ignores) things like climate change and human rights, then don't vote.
I will assess the opinions and wisdom of both Chris hedges and Noam Chomsky. I like both.
