    Professor Noam Chomsky, the REALLY TRUTHFUL, JUST, and GREAT GENIUS OF ALL TIMES is a great blessing from the ALMIGHTY GOD, all of his lectures and videos must be heard and watched by everyone in the World to learn the truth about the historical criminal actions of all evil powers against the oppressed common people of the world.

      Somehow Noam has lost his mind in his old age. Possibly the fear of the pandemic drove him to becoming a bootlicking propagandist for the establishment he has been holding accountable
      He is probably smart enough to use the fact he can do nothing and has joined them.probably money is his motivation.

    Anyone in any doubt that Chomsky is the greatest living mind on public affairs need only check his response to the question about disappointed expectations around Obama (about 1:03). Not sure exactly when this was filmed (guessing early/mid Obama first term so 2010/11) BUT HIS RESPONSE PREFIGURES THE TRUMP PHENOMENON:- something which no one even saw coming when it actually happened 5/6 years later! EERIE! The more exposure I have to this man, the more AWED I am by his mind. Listening to him (especially the way he looks now at 94, with the beard) gives the truest insight of what it must have been like to for a believer to be in the presence of one of those Old Testament prophets. I will know a new depth of existential sadness when he passes...

    How could one have a discussion evaluating Apartheid within green line and not mention the Nation- State Law?
    Or the implications of getting married to a non- citizen for a Palestinian vs a Jew?
    Or even the fact that Palestinians don’t qualify for state-sanctioned housing in the form of Israeli colonies, though are forced to pay for them?
    Or that Israel’s laws are, by design, geared to push Palestinians gradually to emigrate, and therefore to eventually fall under more brazen categories of Apartheid, a treatment reserved for Palestinians alone?
    And I have no problem in saying I do not understand the relevance of Klug’s suggestion that if we label Israel as guilty of atrocities, we must label neighboring regimes as guilty of those same atrocities. As if that offers any justification for subsidizing and supporting a system of injustice against Palestinians.

That may have something to do with it, the people will this shit, and their big death machine. So who is he speaking to? Who will help? Not Americans I guess, they ask for mass murder globally because by magical thinking bombing strangers keeps you safe said Bernie Sanders. I guess there is a machine that doesn't love people but loves giving and helping things in outrageous ways like child sexual assault and feels beautiful therefore is cancer. The superior species of animals that don't rape their children need help, we can start by rescuing them from the meat industry.

      His analysis is honest and reality based. Get back to studying what is going on in the world and use independent search engines, if history books are not available to you. If you only have time for a video, look at Pulitzer Prize winner Oliver Stones’s documentary, “The Untold History of the United States“.This is happening again, the United States has been funding the 4 N_ZI groups in Ukraine for 8 years. The longer they (the US) can keep this war going, by attacking people in the Donbas, and please know that the Russians have been showing the remnants of the American shells and missiles to the UN for that entire time, and the more money the West can funnel to the Elite Weapons manufacturers, and also drive the prices on oil way up in the west. Oil is King that is why we do not have clean energy. I have made my retirement possible by watching the signals of where the next war will start. The last president who told anything truthful was Eisenhower, I heard his departure speech before Kennedy came in. And even he could not oppose them or he would have died in office.
