@@TomorrowWeLive There is not a single data/fact-based refutation of Chomsky's positions in that article that shows him "denying and justifying genocides". On the other hand, there are ample cases of the author of that drivel having been embroiled in academic malpractice and hoax himself, on subjects from whitewashing crimes against Australian Aborigines to publishing ideologically motivated fake stories on GMO food. Linking complete rubbish like a good-intentioned critical reader while all it is represents is a desperate attempt by a nobody to smear someone is shameful at the very least.
@Steffan R Blanco The evidence in support of US President Jimmy Carter's statement of US war mongering is strong. Since the end of WW2 the US led the illegal invasion of Iraq that was based on deliberate false pretenses and manipulated intelligence where over a million innocent Iraqi civilians were murdered, waged war against Vietnam, Korea, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Grenada, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Venezuela, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan that killed over 70,000 innocent civilians, Lebanon, Laos, Bosnia, Serbia, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Iran and others. By it's own admission the US has launched at least 251 military interventions AFTER the USSR collapsed in 1991. That does not include still classified covert missions which the US has not yet admitted to. In what way is Carter wrong?

Not always. Alot of Axis war criminals were let off the hook to help their captors. Such as using former Wehrmacht officers to rebuilt both German armies, and use of scientists in various programs that mostly went nowhere (such as pardoning Unit 731 members or Nazi camp doctors for ultimately useless infomation). We like to think that most of the Nazis were killed by our justice system, when really most of these men lived relatively luxurious lives, and had no apologies or redemption for their crimes. People say history is written by the winners, but I've come to see that as a generality instead of a rule.
@@Williamatics … Yes it is. And who defines evil? America is an evil nation. Is it ok to kill everyone here? Considering the continual decline of the American Empire you should be begging the world to abide by laws you’re saying don’t matter. To have mercy, basically

You have to respect not only his knowledge, but Chomsky's incessant commitment to inconvenient truth-telling. To speak candidly about the evils and atrocities committed in the name of western imperialism so openly exemplifies a level of audacity seldom seen and is entirely commendable. We should praise his work and thank him for his contributions.

Arthur James Schildgen oh really? So I would hope that you would also be highly opposed of those millions of incarcerations under the Obama administration as well right? Yknow since America is about equality? Obama has deported more illegal aliens than Trump has. Trumps deportations are majority criminals such as sex traffickers. Listen Obama was also against illegal immigration and openly denounced illegal immigration in his rallies, speeches, and his time during senator, nobody called him racist nor were their meltdowns over his millions in deportations. If you want to make this a case of pity for those immigrants than you should acknowledge the issue of both presidents, not just focus all that hate on one guy due to your opposing political views. What is communicated poorly and twisted negatively is trumps stance on immigration. He is FOR Legal immigrants, has nothing against them and has helped out many, what he won’t tolerate is those illegal immigrants who abuse the welfare system, have anchor babies, and even use false identification for work. There have been cases reported that illegal aliens have used the documents of deceased Americans for work, which frankly is disgusting. And before you talk about the border cages, most of those photos and the initiative of such harsh treatment started during the Obama administration. So please kind sir(hope I’m not assuming your gender) do not be fueled by prejudice and hatred, I share your dislike for the harsh treatment of those illegals but you cannot simply believe this is trumps fault their is only so much pity that can be given. I’ll end my response to your false rhetoric by giving you a real life example. If I’m driving intoxicated while my child is in the car and I get stopped, then surely my child will be separated from me as I go to jail. The same outcome can be viewed for those illegals who get deported, if you get deported the you can’t expect special treatment, coming here illegally is against the law. End of story

In its more than 240-year-long history since declaring independence on July 4, 1776, there have only been 16 years in which the US was not at war. From the end of World War II (WWII) to 2001, the US has initiated 201 of the 248 armed conflicts in 153 locations, accounting for over 80 percent of total wars fought.
That is a staggering, horrific statistics! What makes it even worse is the fact that most of the wars between countries that the US are supposedly uninvolved in are actually also instigated by the US despite not being listed as such!
As an independent voter, I don't ever see any US president, former or otherwise ever going to jail. If it takes 397 police officers an hour to stop one 18 year old shooter and the CEO of a pharmaceutical company walking away with $926 million of taxpayer money our democracy is beyond broken.

How do you think you ever lived in a democracy when even you had to petition the blood sucking cabal for the right to vote and choose who leads you?

I love the interviewer's change in tone and body language between the first and second question. When he asks about Eisenhower, he sounds like he thinks the question is vaguely ridiculous, and probably expects Chomsky to qualify his position or dodge the question. By the time he asks about Kennedy, his demeanor has already done a 180.
What I notice in the comment sections of any video where Chomsky speaks, is that the people who are hostile to him never actually point out where he is wrong, and instead just go onto personal attacks on his character, which is completely irrelevant. I think this says a lot.
@Uni BlackSister Could you give me a link to the exact video? After seeing who G Edward Griffin is I believe you. I've heard of G Edward Griffin and heard him talk about The Monster From Jekyll Island before, but forgot that was the guy's name
This is so different from hearing people like Sam Harris talk. No weird analogies, no hidden insults, no attacks on Cenk Uygur's intelligence, no rationalizing of purposefully outrageous statements, just facts, facts and more facts.
+Forkbeard I largely aggree. But I think Chomsky's point was not that leaders violate rules, the point was that American leaders violate the same rules they set up to convict the nazis. It's like a teacher chewing gum while punishing a student for chewing gum. The problem is not the illegality, but the hypocricy.
Adorable how it seems like the interviewer keeps throwing presidents at Chomsky, as if he's expecting him to slip up and go "okay, well maybe not all of them", but every time he gives not just one but about three or four different indictable offenses by each and every name thrown at him (with the exception of Nixon, which he seemed to figure was self-explanatory)
Read the article “ America’s two week engagement with Khomeini”. Google it. This wasn’t even all the facts so Chomsky was rather brief and very nice to Carter to put it lightly . You’ll need a bottle of whisky to go through this article.

Garth Caesar well I mean yes but sometimes even congress was unaware or lied to about presidents waging wars and funding genocides. For example during the Iran Contra scandal, Congress was completely in the dark and lied to by Reagan, Bush, and Abrams who committed genocide in Latin America.
They are indictable because they receive money for re-election for signing an agreement to support Israel. That’s treason. In fact those funds are taxpayer funds as well.

But he said that in so embellished phrases that it seemed almost leftist. Nixon said he was the last liberal president, meaning he had fully decided upon the progressive abandonment of democracy and social justice as a long term orientation.
@@MrMirville What do you mean "nope"? Are you trying to say the foreign countries that were already in the midst of civil war and were actively killing tens of thousands of people actually weren't? You have to be delusional if you think the U.S is the cause of all the violence. I don't know what you were trying to say with all that other gibberish but it had nothing to do with what I wrote.
Even if the general public would be aware of the warcrimes of all the presidents it wouldnt really matter. People dont care what happens on the other side of the globe as long as their own lives are improved back home.
@@Bitchslapper316 not in all of those cases, dude! In fact a lot, and I mean really a lot of these conflicts, wars, civil wars, coups and so on all around the world were started, because of actions the US took or their proxies! And if not, the US stepping in (because they had economic interests or wanted to strengthentheir position as hegemon in the region), made it a lot worse! Just think of Chile, Guatemala, Panama, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan (2×), Italy, Greece, Russia and and and
@@somerandomguy7458 I think this is more important to know then learning poems about christopher columbus sailing the ocean blue in 1492. The curriculum in America is a joke, originally setup to educate people to be wage workers
@@avalsonline2 correct, teachers are not employed to provide knowledge, their job is to provide the next generation of wage slaves. Parents have already been conditioned.
@@reginagonzales4049 Karma isn’t real unless you’re a Buddhist, a Hindu or another Indian religion. Karma is all linked to rebirth and reincarnation. I see a lot of Christians and even Jews believe in karma and it’s all bogus. I’m a Christian myself and believing in the concept of karma goes against Christianity. Heaven and Hell is the Christian concept of “karma.” Oh, and an atheist shouldn’t believe in karma or else they’re not an “atheist.”
Noam Chomsky knows these facts and presents them clearly. Some will be angry, some will stay asleep, some will hate that he exposed these crimes in our name.
Not many. If people knew, they wouldn't be in every war possible. Take the war in Iraq for example. Even children in Africa who barely watch Television knew that Bush was lying. Yet USA went in, killed so many people, destroyed lives, and in the end was... oops... my bad... no weapons... nothing to see here Any other country does that and the world will be sanctioning and declaring war on it. But as they say: the powerful do as the wish, and the powerless suffer as they must
Well, when you consider that the entire federal government is owned by corporations, this is totally unsurprising. The sole reason the US and other Western countries involve themselves anywhere around the globe is to gain access to resources and markets. For instance, there would never be a single western power in the middle east were it not for the oil.
Chomsky is like a back seat driver telling the driver how it should be done but not contributing anything by getting his hands dirty - when did he ever run for an office or try to affect change? I would have driven him to the airport if I were an American!
@@nordique59 when has an elected politician ever contributed to bringing down the system they're a part of? Him campaigning, writing and overall educating and radicalising people has done far more good than him running for office ever could.
That’s like asking why not journalists all run for public office. His job is to research and provide information. In a free country it is up to the citizens to find that information and take it to heart. If that happens, and that’s a big if, there will be systemic change.
This is a complicated subject to discussed as contexts and on the ground facts varied and more often than not are difficult to assess immediately. Nevertheless it’s interesting and informative …
@@RADVIX313 lol I’m Canadian too, idiot 😂 I was actually showing the 2 face of American politics using Saddam as an example. Nice speech though…pat yourself on the back
I had the chance of meeting this man about 2 years ago. He gave a lecture on the origins of language and the human mind and I can honestly say Chomsky is a massive genius.
You notice Noam never ran for office and was never encouraged by a large block of voters to do so. The reason is fairly obvious, Noam believes he is close to being perfect and everyone else is Hitler. What do you think that level of narcissistic ego would do if it were the leader of the most powerful nation in history? Do ya think Noam would live up to Noam's standards, or be another Nixon/Obama?
@@hardworker5588 .... If you had perhaps read more you would understand that for many of us, including Noam we have graduated from thinking that there are problems with the state to realizing that the state is the problem. To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.
@@factstrumpprejudice6740 ---- so tell us what you're doing to live in a world without rules?? uuhhhhhhyeah -- that's what we all thought anarchy-boy. Your GED doesn't qualify you for the title of Socrates Jr.
@@hardworker5588 demanding to be governed makes you merely a slave, wage slavery is obviously the pinicule of your ambition. Happy you, your already in your heaven.
Does anyone have recommendations for books that would take a critical eye to contemporary US imperialism on this manner? A sort of historical-critical approach to imperialism/colonialism viz the contemporary American scene?
Have you ever heard of Victor Davis Hanson? He's incredible & explains things in an understandable way. And Bill O'Reilly! Alot of Ppl don't like him because he's Conservative but he knows his History, Big-time! I heard that his residence could be a Historical Museum because he collects a plethora of military, etc artifacts & related items spanning decades. Good Luck.
It's crazy how the rich and powerful can cause all the destruction around the world the way they do with absolutely no consequence but the common man or woman will be handcuffed for the most insignificant of infringments
