Chomsky & Others

U.S. Nuclear War Policy
Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg
How many times have we come close to destroying the world? You don’t want to know. In this discussion, Noam Chomsky and Daniel Ellsberg review the disturbing historical record. They talk about the phony bomber and missile gaps that were used to justify more military spending. Today dangers are increasing. So much so that the […]
Examining U.S. Iran Policy
Noam Chomsky
2 CDs What went wrong and continues to go wrong with U.S. policy toward Iran? In this presentation Noam Chomsky, Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann Leverett, authors of Going to Tehran: Why the United States Must Come to Terms with the Islamic Republic of Iran answer these questions. Recorded at the Cultural and Technology Forum at MIT.
Radical Futures
Noam Chomsky, Angela Davis
2 CDs Angela Davis and Noam Chomsky address topics as wide-ranging as resisting the prison industrial complex and youth-led environmental initiatives. In a Hip Hop-flavored public event organized by Critical Resistance, two legends of the radical pantheon in America appear onstage together for the first time ever.
The Cold War & the University
Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn
Recorded at Boston University this is one of those rare historic events bringing two giants together. Chomsky comments: “The public is not supposed to be involved in policy. That’s true in practice, and it’s even a principle you can read about in standard texts on American politics. For example, one written a couple of years […]

Noam Chomsky, John Stockwell

Noam Chomsky, John Silber
from WGBH-TV
U.S.-Middle East Policy
Noam Chomsky, Edward Said
2 CDs This is the historic joint appearance by two leading dissident intellectuals before a standing-room-only audience. Chomsky and Said analyze the effects of U.S. policy on the region and, in the case of Edward Said, on his own family history. Chomsky narrates the history of U.S. duplicity and exposes the notion of its being […]
Debate on U.S. Foreign Policy
Noam Chomsky, Richard Perle
2 CDs The legendary encounter between Chomsky and Richard Perle. For years there were rumors that a tape of their 1988 debate at Ohio State University in Columbus existed. Finally, it was Edward Herman who tracked it down. It was worth the wait. Rarely do establishment figures take on Chomsky in a debate format. After […]
The Human Face of Imperial Ambition
Noam Chomsky, Kathy Kelly
The National Security Strategy of the United States issued in September 2002 frankly states, “The events of September 11, 2001 fundamentally changed the context for relations between the U.S. and other main centers of global power, and opened vast, new opportunities.” And what are those opportunities for the people of Iraq? A U.S.-led invasion and […]
Eqbal Ahmad: Legacy of Resistance
Noam Chomsky
2 CDs The main theme of Noam Chomsky’s lecture which began the tribute to Eqbal Ahmad event, was confronting empire. He talked about the “international community” as essentially the U.S. and its allies, Bush’s “messianic mission” and the “unusual historic event we are witnessing” the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Palestinians enabled by Washington. By […]
1999 Socialist Scholars Conference
Noam Chomsky, Michael Eric Dyson
Noam Chomsky says, “Freedom without opportunity is a dubious gift. Discussion of positive and negative liberty is fine for academic seminars but it doesn’t have an enormous amount of significance for half of the world’s population who live – if that’s the word – on less than $2. a day which means without access to […]
Debate on Israel/Palestine
Noam Chomsky, Alan Dershowitz
2 CDs The much-anticipated encounter between two long-time adversaries. Dershowitz dismisses Chomsky as inhabiting his own “planet” where “the news reflects his perspective on reality.” He claims Chomsky relies on, “selective quotes and picking tidbits out of context.” And “If you check his sources, they are false. He makes it up as he goes along.” […]
