Mr. Chomsky is a national treasure. When enough people listen - and heed - these words of wisdom our nation and the world can become a better place.

[Thesm]

In 1949 Albert Einstein said. “When the very rich so controlled the means of communication that it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to make informed decisions and so democracy would then be broken”.
Einstein argued that private capital “tends to become concentrated in few hands”, resulting in “an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society”.
“Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education).
“It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.”

Chomsky is an international treasure. Thank you for this video to remind all of us his great and ongoing contributions to humanity.

History consistently teaches us that we never learn from history and are condemned to repeat it.⚫

The qualities of people like Noam Chomsky should be a beacon for any presidential candidate in the US. But no... we get Biden vs Trump.

Chomsky is a treasure, able to highlight our time with simple History examples that everyone could understand.
And the deeply troubling fact is that humanity and power didn't change that much, whatever name we call our regime.

And Noam, here you sit safe and secure enjoying all the benefits of this country which you so abhor.

NOAM AVRUM CHOMSKY
THE WISE OLD MAN OF THE EARTH
- PaulTeich-©️10/31/2023.
He’s not on mainstream television
But in his vision, he knows how to envision
How to save the EARTH, and how to change birth
Back into Hope

Teacher, author, activist and scholar
He who has seen
He who remembers
He is truly the worlds most righteous brother

They threaten him because he cares
He exposes the governments and his research shares
That which the bread and circuses keeps our heads underground
Where manufactured consent is the only sound

They confuse subsidy with security
To steal taxes with fear
From the Cold War till today
False evidence appearing real

When politics becomes the shadow cast by big business over the bewildered herd
First amendment is gone and “We the people” will never be heard

When the father of modern linguistics shares his words
It would behoove us to give honor and share our regards

For only if you know the history of the Earth do you know where we are from
For only if you know the philosophy of the Earth do you know where we are going
And only if you can correlate and assimilate these things, do you really know “Who makes the weather”
And what it is that binds and ties humanity together

Criticize the government or government actions and the critic will be made to pay. Wilson and the Espionage Act of 1917, Nixon’s vicious persecution of the critics of the Vietnam War, the Red Scare, and McCarthyism to name just a few instances of brutal repression. The late dissident Abbie Hoffman said, and I paraphrase here, the freedom to disagree with officialdom is not defined by the freedom granted to established voices, but the outliers.

Don't allow them to call it equity . call it fiat money - a religion to be believed and worshipped

[blitz_zen]

Chomsky has had some very important contributions. I have many of his books and have respected & enjoyed his views.
His support of Biden & authoritarian views on covid have relegated him to just another guy who fell for the propaganda in my mind.

"...that's the history." Yes and "history" is the key word here---for there have been many societies that did not torture, punish and kill those who had different ideas. We have lived a mere 3000 years in Patriarchy (the rule of smelly greedy old men) but that doesn't make it "normal for humans" by any stretch.

Chumpsky.. sitting comfortably in his tenured position blathering about oppression in the US is comedy gold!!!😂
