Omer you did a terrific job in your interview. This is the first time I have seen your program, I enjoyed it. As for Noam, it is always a joy to listen to Noam flex his intellectual muscles at the age of 94. As Noam Chomsky said, read, learn how and why the system does what it does, (the decisions made by The USA are done on purpose, not by accident) and organize with others

One reason for conformity of thought in the US is that neoliberalism has driven all citizens to become part of that which they might otherwise criticize. When your savings are tied to the stock market, you dare not too harshly condemn the evils of market capitalism. When your cheap (affordable) goods are supplied by Amazon and Walmart, you must find ways to justify the slave labor and environmental destruction that underpin those goods. When you work for a corporation that hires and fires without significant concern for the workers out of jobs, you find ways of justifying your position and the corporate position. In short, humans will bend over backwards not to bite the hand that feeds them - even when that same hand is starving us all.

Great interview. Noam is a Great thinker! Hope we have more of him who can think objectively and humanity will progress in the right direction. Just one point about the Hong Kong that Omer briefly mentioned, the protest became a riot, many hong Kong people support and welcome the rule of law. It is not like what main stream media is reporting. Do not just blame everything on china. The riot is due to many underlying social issues caused by extreme capitalism and other external influence and crowd effect.

When you don’t do anything then who is going to do your work? No free will. People follow what works best for them. Focus on what is focusing on so all are connected & depend on each other so you. Separate you from whatever you accumulated as you call as ‘my’ my body, my mind etc.. People are controlled by system why? The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth.

Chomsky is awesome, especially how he wanted to concentrate the un-vaxed into camps and when asking about feeding them he said they may have some responsibility to feed the people in his soviet camps. I remember loving Chomsky, now i realize he is truly a sick puppy and Remember stazi-commy filth always sound nice until the camps, starvation's and butchery. Chomsky proved himself as a "lock up those who disagree with experimental government medications" kind of commy.

Omer, do you have the debate you had with the "famous" Sam Harris? If yes could you please publish it? Thanks

In 1807, the British (i.e. the big, bad, white man) ended its slave trade all over the British Empire. They then initiated the Royal West African Squardran, sending a fleet of warships to the coasts of Africa to end slavery, not just in the British Empire but in other countries, too. In the late nineteenth century, America sent war ships to help with the crusade to end slavery. Why don't we teach that in American History classes?

Why mentioning Huey Long as an example of proto fascism? I do not think populism is necessarily fascist. Actually, I think it could be even more democratic than liberal so called democracies.

Yet another solid interview from one of many of Chomsky's admirers. My main concern about his point of view is that while he correctly points towards American political leaders as Fascists, he has no prescription for how to roll back the progress towards American Fascism.

Great critique. Chomsky is not a radical and is cautious about taking his points down their logical path. I might be wrong but from what I’ve seen and read from him he seems to not go further than advocating to vote harder for the other party. Not acknowledging that this will also lead to crisis. Historically, the only antidote for a civilization caught between autocracy and oligarchic feudalism (or however you want to call your enemies as a commoner) seems to be the organization of labor, popular uprising, general strike (secession of labor) and ultimately if pushed back upon too hard: revolution. Not a great prospect for the future, but that is the price for freedom and democracy. And if you’re as old as Chomsky, why bother?

It’s not Noam Chomsky’s obligation to tell people how to fix the world (although he does make suggestions here and there). He’s already providing a valuable service by educating people on the problems that currently exist.

Threats to freedom of speech are on both sides. The pressure against free speech on the Left helps drive and empower the reactions on the Right. If so many people weren't feeling threatened from these amazing overreaches from the Left, there would be fewer people to endure or welcome the extremism of a DeSantis. The jerkiness and cruelty of the Trumpers helped to sharpen the ruthlessness of the Left toward the Right, seemingly vindicated by January 6th. So, divide and conquer; what else is new?

So insane to listen to this now… I really wish we could hear from Noam, but I’ve heard that he’s really sick. 😔

Even if you call the invasions of Iraq or Afghanistan defeats, what penalty did the United States pay? Our military industrial complex grew richer and no less powerful. Individuals further enriched themselves. Of course some of our soldiers were killed and maimed, but they are easily written off and forgotten, they were probably from the lowest socio-economic segment of society. While those wars cost billions or even trillions where did the money come from and where did it go, it amounted to a huge transfer of wealth to the already rich and powerful, and of course while there's always plenty for hugely costly military adventures, there's never enough for social programs, viz. housing for the unhoused, health care for those who need it, or quality education for the children of ordinary working Americans. So there were big penalties for ordinary working class Americans but many of them don't know it. They certainly never find out from FOX news, but, here's the zinger, not even from the main stream media, do we ever arrive at the whole truth neither in the present nor in retrospect!!!

Valeria Wasserman, the wife of Noam Chomsky, had an impeccable career in law and translation. She’s currently working at ArtVentures Cultural Projects and Translation. So Valeria Wasserman appreciates her personal life. There’s little to no presence of her on social media platforms. On the other hand, Noam Chomsky has over 1.5 million followers on Facebook. He’s partially active and posts from time to time. Additionally, his Twitter account had a huge number of followers before it was suspended for unknown reasons. Valeria translated a lot of books and research papers. Many of the books she translated were written by famous authors. She got married to Noam Chomsky in 2014, and they’re now living a happy life together. They prefer to keep their personal life to themselves. So, there are little to no updates about their life.
