The nuke always come back, like the number 8, it will return for all these things.

Chomsky could further cynically point out the irony that Grenada was a country created by the US during the US Civil War. A construct for intellectualised free black men that no longer wanted to live in the US and that refused the other option of going to Liberia. Yet, another disastrous construct.

Do something about it. (Assuming you're not.) If you are, then disregard and thanks for your efforts!

This man has excellent insight but I am bothered that he feels we are ALL indoctrinated. Those against these waars and propaganda get absolutely no air time because of any influence they might have. More are becoming afraid of their own government (not others) believing any kind of ball dropping (made to look like "someone else did it") isnt true at all given its past history.
Please know that Americans are split between those who believe what they hear and those who do not

He is obviously terribly disappointed that he is not witnessing the outward aggression towards the government that he lived through in the sixties. He is despondent towards a lack of revolutionary zeal that was so present when he became famous and recognised. I think in that sense he is seeing all peoples are indoctrinated, in lieu of the status quo which we clearly do not belong to, as the more utopian society he envisions becomes less and less likely. A thought.

I agree with your comment except that the society we want is not becoming less and less likely. That sentiment/thinking is what frustrates Chomsky and me. It is becoming more likely and in fact, would already be the case if less people thought they were powerless or if less people 'surrendered' to such cynicism.

I like your optimism and I hope you are right. I am very vocal about personal/cultural awareness and have never abandoned my questioning of absolute authority for want of a better world. Chomsky's frustration presumably stems from his want to see it in his lifetime. I live by preference in one of the last communist countries on earth, albeit more capitalist than America, and feel that I have affected change. It only takes a few but steadfastly determined people. Thanks. After the revolution!

Thank you! The internet will be the death of totalitarianism, because millions of ideas are flying across the globe every second of the day. True freedom for all Humanity will come. In the meantime, you're right, it begins with a "few but steadfastly determined people." Peace, Comrade!!

Unless we're doing something other than little comments on youtube, then we've been indoctrinated to believe either the lies that we're being told or that we have no power to make a change. Either way, we're indoctrinated. The world should know that 'Americans' are split between those who believe the lies and those who are too afraid or cynical to make a difference. Either way, the world should look elsewhere for leadership. Leadership will not come from the 'American' people.
