(36,418 posts)I'm beginning to think his critique is perhaps too mild and accepting of the status quo.

(84,711 posts)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.

I'm really glad this was posted and perhaps more people will add Chomsky to their information arsenal.
Though the warning is, it might challenge many things you've been taught to believe, but at least you get a better idea on the constraints and lack of information that brought you there.

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.

(84,711 posts)I'm thinking of downloading the older Chomskys and doing an All Nighter! The TIME HAS COME.
I have read his recent works ....but to see such incredible predictions in his older work is amazing.

(84,711 posts)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...

(84,711 posts)Give Aways. After you get through the "long/glowing introduction" for Chomsky ...the meat of NAFTA and what it GAVE AWAY from Chomsky's speech is just an Incredible view/listen...for older DU'ers who remember the "CLINTON HOPE" ...!
