I'm beginning to think his critique is perhaps too mild and accepting of the status quo.

until early this evening. Can't remember where I got link..but browsing somewhere there was a link. It blew my MIND...how what he said then could be what came true.

Really incredible. I thought it was pretty hard hitting.. You think it's worse than he described? Well..we are yet to know. Way it's going...maybe.

debate Noam, we would all benefit from his meticulous study of various matters and his insights into language as well.

Along with this one



One of these two lectures, I'm not sure which one it was, has a good explanation of the politics and economics of NAFTA, around the time it was being pushed through. Looking back it's pretty clear he was right about NAFTA and the other trade deals.

I'm thinking of downloading the older Chomskys and doing an All Nighter! The TIME HAS COME.

to China...and Boeing Airlines Technology, and how these "Free Trade Agreements" came into being and how it Morphed and Moved along so that our Taxpayer INVESTMENT has been TRADED OFF...and NAFTA and now how that Jives with OBAMA's TPP and Euro-Trad Agreements CONTINUE the Clinton Give Aways....while the "Cat Food Commission" trashes Seniors. That was the Creepiest of it.

Whatever you feel of my interpretations...HATE IT... THIS Video of Chomsky in 1993 is SO WORTH THE WATCH it's INCREDIBLE... Doesn't take much time to view it...but the Visionaries of the Past ...Fortell the Future...and Chomsky is indeed a VISIONARY..

HERE: Watch Read and most of all..LEARN the HISTORY...

All these so called "free trade" agreements are garbage that just transfer more and more money and power to literally the wealthiest 1%.
