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.

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.

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.

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.

May all the gods that we have invented bless this man and his family.

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

The blue tile (top right, on the shelf) reads "All discrimination is immoral"

What a brilliant mind! Such personalities should advising the world leaders.

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 have listened to many talks by Professor Chomsky and this was just as excellent. Each talk contains many new facts, insights, and lessons. Thank you, Professor!

Every time I see it I want to peruse Noam’s book collection. 📚

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

Thank you for this timely conversation with Professor Chomsky. Please bring him back regularly.

Professor Chomsky is a Taonga (Treasure) and the best Champion of the People, for the People! Thank God we have you and a few others in the world like you, not giving up and giving Voice for those of us who dont have one that anyone of significance would ever listen too. THANK YOU Professor Chomsky, your an Angel and a Shining Light for Humanity. What you say brings tears when I think of what we humans are doing to one another and, boiling our Planet to smithereens for Profit! THANK YOU for speaking for me and thousands more who feel as I do. We are Blessed to have you in our world💖👍🏼🙏🏼💐

Mr Chomsky Such great wisdom. And not a drop filters through to those in US senate.

A genius with an honest and warm heart on this planet, very rare.

Thank you Noam. The world needs your clarity.

LOVE MR Noam Chomsky. He has a beautiful soul and stands by justice! I’m a muslim and one of his fan. Wish i studied at MIT to be able to watch a hero in action but sadly i am not that smart to be in MIT but thanks to UKposts people like me have access to his talks. Sir you are a people Champion and my personal hero 🤲🤲🤲🙏🙏🙏

Love seeing his smile at the end.

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.

A rare living intellectual and activist who fearlessly fought for human concerns and causes in order to induce peace and global harmony.

39:30 when discussing the types of governments, Chomsky tells us that the US has seen 2 different systems since wwii. one being free market capitalist and the other, not, which we live in currently. When the banks don't collapse but instead get bailed out by tax payers, the middle classes go into poverty and their money siphoned to the elite.

Unequivocally, the world’s most important intellectual.

noam is a treasure, and a brilliant one.

Mister Noam Chomsky.....A great mind a great thinker of our soiled world. listen up kids.

Great interview...

Listen to Chomsky, read Naomi Klein, even goback to Susan Cooper "How the other half dies" and start to get an idea of what is going on. I don't think Chomsky would want to be the only source of our information

What is this woman talking about? Chomsky doesn't think that our desire to dominate the world is a thing of the past. Perhaps she just has a weird way of speaking. She is a lawyer after all.

Professor Noam Chomsky is an intellectual extraordinary whose insights into world issues and wisdom is very important and ever-timely. Thanks Professor Chomsky. 16:14 😊

Such an important interview. Thank you.

Thanks so much, very helpful and hopeful, lovely teaching style

Pfr Chomsky, you would be the best President advisor of USA …. Definitely the wars caused or provoked by the USA would be much less with you by his side ! 20 years from the other side of the pond l discovered you , reading your fantastic books , you are my Hero … l would listen you every single day of my life.

Thank you 👏🏾👏🏾

I guess I would've assumed a "rules based order" meant international law that the US paid lip service to. Tell others & the population some other country is in violation, while ignoring it themselves. Thank you for laying out the distinction

I can not wait to have the time to visit this Gentleman's work properly! 🤯⏳❤️

Long Live King Noam... thank you professor ❤

Great speaker, Dr Chomsky blessings from Pakistan 🇵🇰

ThankYou

Thank you for your very thought provoking intellectual conversation

One of my favorite professors Noam Chomsky, thank you for all you have written!

Most excellent .

As in ancient Athens they was saying: if a tyrant comes you have two choices, either tyranny or revolution.If nothings change in America the people will be faced with this options...

Thanks yal!!

Let's hope that there will be people like minded keeping the rest of us awake when he is no longer here. He is such an amazing historian of the second half of the twentieth century and its influence on current events. He truly is an American treasure.

Thank you for this interesting interview. May I suggest you use the tool on UKposts to make chapters in the timeline? It's a few minutes of work, but makes it much easier to quickly access a specific topic or answer.

This man should be compulsory reading/watching for all who wish to understand the modern world, particularly as it has been perverted and distorted (and continues to be so) by leaders in both the USA and UK.

Just for the record, Gareth Evans was never Prime Minister of Australia. He was a Foreign Minister.

Naming a warship USS Falujah shows the enormity of the ignorance that inhabits DC. They don't even know how disrespectful that is.

As much as I occasionally enjoy Noam's work (met him couple of times back in school)... I think Diane Fener is most interesting and perhaps underappreciated here: Diane is most representative of our ruling oligarchy on so many levels - visually, culturally, ideologically... A perfect mascot for ruling the planet! Thanks for engaging video!

What an indulgence to dive in to this comments

Thank you professor.

BRAVO to all!👏👏👏👏

This man is a genius, should have been high up in the pooitical reference from bith parties all along and we would be in a much better place.

Como hago para q la entrevista se la pueda escuchar en español

Epic

Thanksalot!

The most special treat of a seasoned & luminous voice of reason.

Does he mention A.I. in this video? I'm still at the beginning and have been watching off and on!

Chomsky is a living treasure

So WONDERFUL to see him looking this old. Soon he will be GONE and FORGOTTEN

チョムスキーの言葉を若い時から聞いて、豊かな示唆を得てきましたが、いまもそれは衰えていません。ただし、以前に比べて声の力がないのが心配です。

real G

Great talk. Just check I don’t think Gareth Evans was ever PM OF Australia.

Resource-based GlobalEconomy to assure GoodHealth, Peace & Shared-prosperity!

How can I get a transcript of this historic talk?

I love Professor Noam!!

💜❤️ best wishes to the legend ✨️

Like the sign in Portuguese.

War Lords don't care about "your" rules because they have mistaken themselves for gods. I wonder if any mad person can be talked into sanity. I'm fairly certain no mad mass can. Do your best.

“Holding up a banner that says I love you with one hand while the other hand stabs you in the back “

We're going to lose Chomsky soon, and I don't have any idea who will fill his shoes. Maybe Chris Hedges to some degree. But I don't know of anyone with such intellect who has focused it so clearly on cutting through American propaganda and reporting the world economic and political situation so clearly.

People have been speaking about nuclear war for a year and a half and saying it is imminent. Can you give me a date to where this imminent nuclear war will happen so after that date I can ask you what did you mean by that.

he is right of course - frightening!!

The CLASS war in US circa 35:30

#LearnMMT!

What are we going to do without Chomsky one day (hopefully in 20 years). I am going to feel lost without him. Do you guys know intellectuals that cover the same topics with good ideas?

What's the onus with bailouts? For as long bailing the entities now own and manage them, who will hopefully turn it around, then sell it back for profit.

I would love Mr. Chomsky's view of Peter Zeihan's views on the collapse of the global economy.

Unequivocally, the world’s most important citizen.

We do memorialize our invasions by naming naval amphibious ships as with USS Fallujah. Ironically, I suppose, if there were a USS Hiroshima or Nagasaki, a very different option regarding at least one of these cities would have prevailed.

Around 47:30, Chomsky says the US is the champion of vetoes at the UN Security Council, but when I look it up, I find that Russia has more vetoes since 1992. And the US is number 2. Am I missing something?

Hey noam, how was the island you were on a list visiting. We know

Historically there have been three main reason that have led to the fall of great empires. One is over extension of its physical borders, second is gluttony and the last one is debauchery.

"Who's your celebrity crush"... Noam Chomsky and... Fook, what's her name?... Natalie Portman

AAA+++Bedford, Texas

2:24 Chomsky begins 8:12 war to save organized human society

Can’t think of the world and the minds without Prof Chomsky. 💎💎💎

His legacy as a philosophist spanning two centuries speak for itself. The adulation he receives is deserved. His pronouncements are always worth listening to. What happens however when Noam gets it wrong? Recently he explained why Sweden and Finland joined NATO. Noam said it was because they were "gloating" over the realisation that Russia was demonstrably weak militarily as their invasion of Ukraine unexpectedly revealed. That their switch from neutrality and move towards US hegemony was totally unnecessary. Russia forced Sweden into neutrality by destroying it's empire after the great Northern war 200 years ago Finland was forced into a degrading agreement for decades by Russia after the Winter war. Rather than gloating Sweden and Finland saw their chance to change the circumstances forced on them historically by an imperialistic Russia, and you can include the Soviet Union as an extension of Russian imperialistic history which the Russians certainly consider as their rightful heritage. This is certainly understood by their neighbours, many of them former colonies. Honestly, Noam does speak nonsense at times. What happens when smaller countries see a hegemony like the US preferable to those like Russia? Noam speaks now with no criticism applied to his commentary. He has become a saint, faultless. The adulation he receives now does not necessarily illuminate, may not help. What's happened to critical evaluation by anyone, in particular someone as influential as Noam Chomsky?

Sadly, despite available wisdom/ knowledge those with wealth and power continue to fail their responsibility. Revolution and chaos are inevitable.

I'd love to talk to him n ask him lots of questions

He is the light Even his name means Naam Shems It’s yes to the sun light Good bless you Noam I préfère calling you Naam

With great respect: Gareth Evens was our minister for foreign affairs, not prime minister.

I'll go along with the majority of the professor's thoughts, especially how the parties today have changed approach. Here in the UK there are none that represent me anymore for the same reasons he describes. However I don't go along with the fear mongering over climate being an existential threat. In my view this part is all about capitalism as most of the world's problems are. If it were about the environment they would be investing in new technologies that don't replace oil with methods that cause equally as much damage to the planet and mankind. Sideways movement cannot be progress, but it can certainly allow $54billion investment funds to grow which is a nice little earner for Al Gore and his friends like Richard Branson who when asked if Gore was a Prophet, replied "Depends how you spell PROFIT" My view may upset a few, but I see it as a capitalist venture equal to the professors view about the parties pretending to be something they are not. One look and question about who is making money from the carbon credit market should open some eyes. Some are getting rich by still producing carbon yet paying other entities for credits so that they can claim to be green and virtue signal about it. It's a total nonsense that does not reduce carbon in any way shape or form and is a good reason why people think the whole issue is a money making scam.

Let the man rest

My preference is to VETO CHARTERS, RESOLUTIONS & VETOES as existing NATO. AND REPLACE with INTERNATIONAL Anonymous, autonomous 3rd & 4th party verification in elections & voting. 2/3 majority required via #Blockchain operating systems technology. Thanks NY City bar. LOVE YOU MR. & MRS. Chomsky

Why does the bar association think it is appropriate to give its imprimatur to radical political views of any stripe? I am growing quite tired of being told what to think politically by the bar association. The more I am told what to think by anybody the more reactionary I grow against the views I am being told I must espouse.

Has he acknowledged that there was a genocide in Serbia or nah?

👀

Mr. Chompsky, you look at the facts above belief. Please look at my book Pluvicopia. It proposes that we can fix the climate with profit. Those who lead the repair of the ecosphere will reap immense wealth from the fountain of all real wealth, the foundation of life: the water cycle. The carbon cycle in life is the little sister to water, which together manages the lithosphere's big carbon cycle.

Must be a masochist. Even though I am cognizant of and concur with all Noam Chomsky postulates, I am helplessly drawn towards the depressing, inevitable conclusion.
