    I love watching videos when Noam was “young”

    I sit here, jaw dropped, mind blown. I am 86 and I feel as my neighbors felt in 1977, when they watched ROOTS. “We didn’t know!” This was in South Los Angeles, already called “Watts”, already scarred by riots. How could I not know? Thank you for breaking my brain. It was hardwired for a lot of man-made reality. Chains invisible, strong but HALLELUJAH not unbreakable. Thank you.

    I remember when I lived in Toronto and Prof. Chomsky was on TVO Education TV, so many calls came to the station, in support, they couldn’t handle the calls.

    timely words -- relevant today (2024) 23:10 "Haiti may disappear in another couple of decades...and that's not because of Haitians".

    Your Truth is not Truth, the truth is reviled by taught theory and most importantly facts. Years of study review correction and the dedication to devote ones self to the slander of the powers that be. No one in my time has devoted ones self as Noam. Ones own society should look to what best standards and actions (morally) should act before applying owns own ideals on others.
