Noam Chomsky has such a clear eyed vision of the truth and such humanity that makes me happy to be living at the same time as him.

Bravo Mr Chomsky, sharp and accurate as always. It is annoying though, that the public here takes this talk as a show, childishly laughing not only when there are sarcastic remarks, but also, mostly, when terrifying facts are being presented..

How could you thumbs down Chomsky, really?! Disagreeing is one thing, voting down the video and not making a comment as to why, perplexing to say the least.

Disagreeing is pretty hard already, since what he says is mostly just plain facts.

[@hschsc1300]

@Anti commie virus Have you ever read or even tried to understand Chomsky? He has condemned the Venezuelan regime on numerous occasions.

[@isaacbell2426]

Anti commie virus what an uninformed individual you are. Every word stated by you shows you have not a clue what Chomsky has said time & time again. You must do much more research & pay attention!

[@cliffgaither]

This was very informative, as usual with Chomsky. I didn't have any idea that Stalin suggested a Re-Unification of Germany under reasonable conditions. I knew about Cuba & Turkey during The Missile-Crisis. These are just two examples of the Soviets being reasonable. There were other Soviet Leaders with similar relaxation proposals. Each time the United States' Foreign-Policy-Makers claimed the Soviets were "bluffing". They never even bothered to "call" the bluff because it was never about National Security, as Chomsky pointed out. It was about Empire and crushing or weakening a powerful International Competitor :: an Economic / Military / Political Competitor. If the United States had agreed they would have faced International embarrassment if _they_ had double-crossed the Soviets and consequently, The World !

[@fabiengerard8142]

I imagine you just absentmindedly MISTOOK ‘’Stalin’’ for ‘’Gorbatchev’’ - a quite unusual lapsus, though!

[@IamKlaus007]

In one of Noam Chomskys more recent webinars he talks about the extinction of mankind. At the moment, we live on a planet that is part of a galaxy called the milky way. Scientists, through observing Andromedas movements over a period of time, have predicted through many calculations that our two galaxies will collide in some 2.5 billion years. If mankind cannot find a way of escaping our galaxy before the predicted collision, then yes, all life on our planet is certainly doomed to extinction. The logistics of travelling across our own galaxy presents its own set of problems without even thinking about travelling to a galaxy beyond Andromeda. So, if it turns out that space travel is not possible and we really are going to be stuck here, we may as well settle down and make the most of what we have in whatever time we have left.

[@JustinLHopkins]

It’s highly unlikely that mankind will be here for the andromeda collision. Even so, most scientists estimate that since stars are so vastly spread apart and space is mostly empty that nothing will actually collide.

Chomsky talks about real history and leaves a lot of details out. Such as the MESSAGES that Khrushchev sent to Kennedy, not message. McNamara talks about this in the Fog of War. The hard message said "On that critical Saturday, October 27th, we had two Khrushchev messages in front of us. One had come in Friday night, and it had been dictated by a man who was either drunk or under tremendous stress. Basically, he said, "If you'll guarantee you won't invade Cuba, we'll take the missiles out." Then before we could respond, we had a second message that had been dictated by a bunch of hard-liners. And it said, in effect, "If you attack, we're prepared to confront you with masses of military power."

AND after all of his work, end up saying "things that just aren't so". Where does he get the balls ?
