The following was filmed in 2003, during the preparation of the Iraq war.

His lectures on contemporary issues crowds flock around the world.

Noam Chomsky Rebel Without a Pause
... If I were someone who we Attract people,
the world would really be in danger...
If I had the ability to be a good speaker - R & apos;! m not -
I would not use
I would not use!
and if people come to listen to me I think it & apos;. S great
I make the dance number, or my rhetoric is extravagnate.
I doubt very much que someone feels Attracted only by the person.
people interested in the issues,
because the issues are important.
The War or Terror
The so-called "War on Terror"...
there are people who crave the war with the Muslims.
I am Convinced que is Bin Laden it is a dream.
He would have won the war against the case Muslims begin one.
So would the Muslims fighting against the West
in a war to the end of days.
I believe that fundamentalist Christians
Estou convicto de que os fundamentalistas cristãos,
Thus, there is much people who want to start it.
But I'm sure the guys Washington who are preparing now, no.
it would be complete madness them to think about it.
so they put North Korea within the "Axis of Evil".
what North Korea has do with Iran or Iraq?
I have more to do with it than them.
But North Korea is not Muslim, so there seems to be a war against Muslims .
And it's not!
This is quite evident. Look at the recent killings in Yemen,
Isso é bastante evidente. Olhem os últimos assassinatos no Yemen,
que todos acham maravilhoso.
of being involved in terrorist acts,
and the other five most they were around,
this is considered good form.
But imagine that Cuba killer Orlando Bosch, I mean
perhaps the main international terrorist in the world,
are not only suspicious,
there is an entire terrorist history behind
involving the murder of 73 people in an airplane of Cuban Arlines, and other things,
and living peacefully in Florida,
along with other international terrorists .
So, suppose Cuba the killer with a missile,
what would happen?
There would be retaliation heavy, from everywhere.
Iraq
Iraque
See the story. </ P>
All those who made forecasts were wrong.
Many things can happen.
But...
we know what they want.
For example, people are around power,
as Richard Perle, Rumsfeld and others:.
they have expressed their intentions a long time
In fact, Perle and others, published their opinions 6 years ago,
newspaper articles in favor Benjamin Netanyahu
which is one of ultra -Right in Israel over Sharon's right.
These articles, although without details,
described a Middle East vision,
descreviam uma visão do Oriente Médio,
Power Centers...
... Jerusalem and Ankara,
of course, as part of the US global system.
And for the rest of the region would be given a kind of local autonomy.
and talked about the idea of extending the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
taking part Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
in this context, they would offer one < br /> opportunity for Palestinians
go out and solve their problems and so reorganize all over the region.
This is an insane idea.
These ideas are even scaring the Hawks, you know, the hardliners - the Hawks,
to pay close attention to what they call of "the most foolish strategists of power"
que prestam bastante atenção ao que chamam de "os estrategistas mais tolos do poder",
So they have long-term goals to achieve China. </ P>
But , what will happen?
No one knows. What we know is that C. IA makes predictions. </ P>
E provides a considerable increase of terrorism. </ P>
In fact, right now, other agencies intelligence are saying the same,
and that's pretty obvious, not need the CIA say that.
If you attack Iraq .. .
the first is to be born a new generation of people calling for revenge.
This is quite predictable and possible.
to Saddam Hussein there is only one alternative, which are the terrorist attacks.
Para o Saddam Hussein só há uma alternativa, que são os ataques terroristas.
there was someone in New York intending to mount a nuclear bomb,
and run the Canadian border, that is not well guarded,
waiting for the signal.
These are the things that agencies intelligence have feared for for years,
even before 11 September.
and am waiting for it now, as a result of an attack.
maybe, maybe not , they do not know.
intelligence agencies do not know everything,
but it is a plausible possibility.
... that at that time the threats,
could not be bound with Iraq.
This in March 1990.
Isso em março de 1990.
and trading partner of United States and United Kingdom,
Thatcher, Reagan, < br /> Bush and the rest,
of all those now in Washington,
who thought he was a nice guy.
that was the position until August 1990 when he committed his first crime,
which in fact was relevant and that was disobeying orders.
at this time he lost the status of moderate
that had not been affected by acts as the gas attack on the Kurds
torture dissidents and the use of chemical weapons,
actually, and everything now are accusing him correctly,
but never cared .
mas que nunca se importaram.
but also providing what he needed to develop weapons of mass destruction,
and so on until disobeyed the first time.
These are facts that do not should be mentioned,
especially these days,
when Tony Blair, George Bush and everyone asks,
as we have let this monster survive,
having committed all these crimes and listed,
but always omit a small detail,
that was with our help,
because we do not care and continue providing weapons of mass destruction,
and it always omits as you can see.
e isso sempre se omite, como vocês podem ver.
And the reasons were very clear
and the State Department explained,
in the early 90s.
the reason is our duty to support US exporters,
why ignored the objections of cabinet and congress,
continuing to support his friend Saddam
I was fulfilling well its function,
and continued helping to make weapons of mass destruction.
George Bush authorized support
until a day before the invasion of Kuwait.
the British were a little slower to respond.
they continued to support few days later,
until reordenarm their priorities.
até que reordenarm as suas prioridades.
His worst crimes remained behind it all. </ P>
Indeed it is interesting that people recognize that are conservative.
for example, the "Foreign Affairs"
what is the most respected magazine for those those in power in general
many military analysts right as John and Robert Miller, I think,
pointed out some years ago, has died < br /> more people by the sanctions against Iraq
than the total number of people killed by use of weapons of mass destruction,
throughout history.
But we do with it is not a crime, nor a problem.
Mas, fazemos com que isso não seja um crime, tampouco um problema.
This is an ongoing war with devastating effects on the population.
There is no reputable authority...
doubt the number of children killed by sanctions
is less than hundreds of thousands,
and I question the numbers, but...
You have seen the consequences.
Iraq was about to become a first-world society .
and now is a poor society and devastated third world.
and, however the war forward can get even worse. </ p >
can be pushed to the limit.
It is in a category itself of contemporary intellectuals.
Ele está em uma categoria própria de intelectuais contemporâneos.
one of the most important ever,
and on the other hand, it has a life political commitment as an activist.
Joining the two
it gets its own category.
it has very important things to say...
that are not heard often.
And it is remarkably well informed,
I mean... I understand it reads all and is able to remember everything.
it's amazing to talk to him!
it is interesting how laborious it is...
implies...
a lot of knowledge, I mean, the time it takes to acquire all this knowledge...
muito conhecimento, quero dizer, o tempo que leva para adquirir todo esse conhecimento...
You know, six newspapers a day. I think an 8 magazines at the same time. </ P>
This is... half his professional life.
It is indeed your professional life.
It's like your second career.
the Media Mass and Control
First, the pressure on national media has an effect.
Even in authoritarian states respond pressures
and in democratic societies as well.
So said the about the media pressure has an effect.
in addition, in many ways
a media is more open and free than it was 40 years ago,
a mídia é mais aberta e livre do que foi há 40 anos,
Many of those in the media come from experiences of 60, 70 and 80,
and are no different from as they were in the 40s.
Thus, there is no unquestioning loyalty...
Today is a US president it were to do what Kennedy did in 1962,
would be a revolt in the media, not only in the public option.
E furthermore, there are now other alternatives as someone pointed out the audience,
the internet is a great alternative.
the new technology is not designed to this, but is there, offering a wide range,
of options way to communicate.
de opções de maneira para se comunicar.
Post with computer is quite feasible. </ P>
You do not need a major label behind.
And electronic communication is there in many ways.
the organizations have developed their own internal media
and interaction...
and that's how things happen. There are many possibilities.
I remember the criticism of the American media when the Russians invaded Afghanistan,
and Chomsky said that it is very simple for American journalists
criticize the Russians in Afghanistan.
the public hearing that it could not do a lot to help the Afghans.
O público que ouvir isso não poderá fazer muita coisa para ajudar os afegãos.
but the real test of protest is who your audience. </ P>
You are addressing an audience that can do something to improve the situation?
If you are heading to US what the Russians are doing in Afghanistan,
this is a type cowardice, as he said.
"what the great American media should report is that the United States do,
around the world as support Indonesia in East Timor...
supporting esquadões of death in El Salvador. "
That would be brave.
But to criticize what the Russians do, Russian media is that it should do so,
Mas criticar o que os russos fazem, a mídia russa é que deveria fazê-lo,
The period in which the press was freer,
was in the mid-nineteenth century.
at that time, I say the E. AU and the United Kingdom,
the two best studied cases, I imagine being similar.
In the mid-nineteenth century there was a popular press, dynamic
avidly read by class working and all.
it was much more read than trade press then.
it was very diverse. it represented...
and reflected the interests the general public.
it was very popular.
in England tried eliminate it through censorship.
But not They failed because there were many way to escape.
Mas não conseguiram porque havia muitas forma de escapar.
and the concentration of capital. </ P>
And so they realized they could marginalize the popular press,
because it had no advertising since advertisers
that concentrated capital,
did not like what was said < br /> this type of press,
marginalizing the press independent behavior,
that could not get ads because they do not provide what of big capital.
they had enough capital.
it took a long time.
in fact, in England it was about 40 years. </ p >
Even in this case, about 40 years, the main newspaper of England, Daily Herald...
Mesmo nesse caso, há cerca 40 anos, o principal jornal da Inglaterra, Daily Herald...
A Journal of Social Democracy, quite popular,
that sold more than the others.
the Mirror, which was the main tabloid was also left and very popular.
But eventually succumbing to pressure advertising and control capital.
in the US happened before,
but the process was similar.
advertising...
is part of industries much higher.
advertising is the industry of public relations , which is a huge industry,
that has developed a very conscious way,
around the 2nd World War,
the two most democratic countries:.
Britain and the United States
Inglaterra e Estados Unidos.
thanks to popular struggles,
people could vote universal and could not shut by force
was understood that should control the people through opinions and attitudes.
you could not more use force.
Manage your opinions and attitudes means...
well, there is a word for it...
When the scientific management of work
became something important, Taylorism, Henry Ford, etc.
they realized that not only should control people closely,
the lives of people at work,
but should also control in his spare time.
mas também deveriam controlar em seu tempo vago.
not bother
to listen the supéfluas things in life
as the consumption of fashion...
hold them to consumerism,
isolate them from each other, reduce them,
control their beliefs, and these ideas emerged the concept of "manufacturing consent",
as a result of the 1st World War.
and hence came those great industries,
which advertising is part of it.
But...
of course this affects the mainstream media.
for example, any of you...
watching television, for example, let us take television:
que assiste televisão, por exemplo, peguemos a televisão:
Right? </ P>
When you turn, you do not pay unless the cable TV.
But they pay. So what do they do?
Well, they do advertising.
the resources, creativity, efforts and everything else,
in the television industry will for advertising.
in fact, in the television industry,
there denominated words "content" and "stuffing"
that way a program has its "content" and its "stuffing".
the "content" is advertising.
And the "stuffing" is the car accident
that keeps you watching, until the next advertisement.
que te mantém assistindo, até a propaganda seguinte.
The "stuffing" have to keep you entertained,
until reaching the ads
but the ad has a goal.
And it's making people to turn into creatures,
whose only concern is to get the limit their 5 credit cards
and to pay no attention to what happens in the world
and let the rich and powerful do what < br /> want to do, without anyone interfering.
I appear on television often
in Ireland, England, Italy, New Zealand...
in many televisions.
in fact, the studios public television in Boston
De fato, os estúdios da televisão pública em Boston,
because I'm always there to satellite broadcasts,
and also used to go to Canada although far less.
But sometimes, in the United States
commercial television is less controlled than public.
public television is more liberal...
and, therefore, more ideological
and imposes strict restrictions , does not allow deviations.
That's pretty constant.
They do not want...
I say, have no interest in having people talking about these things.
If sometimes under pressure, they allow a few minutes here or there.
It is interesting how it works...
É interessante como funciona...
The radio is a little more free. </ P>
The National Public Radio is regarded as liberal...
I refer to what is beyond US official left
very small, but enough to considerable it very dissenter.
And yet, by far, are the that have the highest retrições.
Do not allow any deviation a millimeter party .
But sometimes they receive pressure to give , it is interesting how it works
for example, during the 1st Gulf War
. - I am well known in Boston -
and there is the ideological center National Public Radio,
e ali está o centro ideológico da Rádio Pública Nacional,
There is a lot of pressure on me let speak, from time to time. </ P>
during the 1st Gulf War
I was told I had 2 and a half minutes.
However, insitiram that I write what to say
and sent him to headquarters for that certify that all was well.
and when would have to approve read it and record previously,
to make sure that not added phrases...
that were off limits
The first time -. I felt ridiculous,
and team staff also so thought - they had a good laugh
I did the first reading of the text in 2 minutes and 36 seconds
I was told I would have to read again.
Me disseram que eu teria que ler de novo.
and I got in 2 minutes and 30 seconds
and then they passed. </ P>
E there are similar examples. I can cite another case
also with the National Radio which is center-left.
they have a space on < br /> book reviews
and again there is a lot of pressure to comment on some of my books.
for 10 years there was my book, based on letters CBC
in fact, the book was a record of sales in Canada for years,
but no one knew the book in the United States. never did a review.
But there was pressure in Boston to to make a criticism of this book.
Mas havia pressões em Boston para que se fizesse uma crítica a esse livro.
Robert Siegel, who is a great intellectual. </ P>
It was announced in its main program, called "all Things Considered"
which starts at 17h and it is assumed that all educated people should listen.
Once 17h announced that would comment on this book,
editors of the "South End Press" called me to show me his joy: "Great!"
When she 17:25 min. at 17:30 min,
at 17:25 the program stopped and put 5-minute song.
at 17:30 min. when he began the second part,
and people started call on all sides,
e as pessoas começaram a ligar de todos os lados,
I was not listening, but people started calling me from everywhere, </ p >
wondering what happened to the review
After 10 minutes I received a call from the radio entrepreneur in Washington,
who said:. "There something wrong. "
we are receiving many complaints links that
your review did not. But we know that yes, because we have programmed . "
So I said," I do not know anything about it "
And 10 minutes later he called me very strange back, <! / p>
and told me he had been unauthorized, for the first time in his life,
by someone from above that had heard the announcement,
por alguém de cima que havia escutado o anúncio,
and canceled. </ P>
This was a scandal, and he was very sad,
for professional reasons .
And there was a great reaction from the public, until finally accepted,
that gravássamos another 5 minutes that the end was broadcast,
and the second time they passed.
and that's the end of left-liberal spectrum.
If we are in commercial media more conservative,
have fewer restrictions.
There is ultra-right groups extremely violent,
to whom he is anathema.
I mean, as if he were the incarnate devil.
These are groups that in the past did not hesitate,
São grupos que no passado não hesitaram,
to achieve your goals. </ P>
The biggest, the strongest hostility at the time
seems to come from Zionist groups,
so we can see...
There was a cambodian group who preached posters, </ p >
denouncing him, accusing him of denying
the massacre that had happened in the 70s,
what he never did, but, he criticized some details of the official story,
at the time.
But I think, in my opinion,
that these groups do not seem dangerous
unless some groups Zionists, they could be.
Every charismatic leader has your point of vulnerability.
It's hard to always be on top.
É difícil estar sempre no topo.
But if not, you will have to endure swallow many things. </ P>
And in fact, many people fear getting into a public life,
because they are attacked personally,
as they do with Chomsky. </ p >
But I think if the US right sees him as a leader,
your life could be in danger.
And surely some would have lost their lives in suspicious circumstances.
And so far to say that the more he talks, the more effective is
but at the same time < br /> puts on a target point,
and consider dangerous,
can run some physical risk.
I sincerely believe it!
Eu acredito sinceramente nisso!
Your message about US foreign policy,
is completely inflexible. </ P>
And I think he expects hostility.
he does not expect the accepted as an obvious truth.
There is a huge advertising industry,
looking ignore
different points of view.
Fear
the figures that now govern "Reaganites" recycled in most of
understand perfectly. It was so kept the country under control in 80 years,
already know one way or another, "the Libyans are coming, the Sandinistas as well," etc. <. / p>
and that can scare people. They are frightened of truth.
e isso consegue amedrontar as pessoas. Ficam amedrontadas de verdade.
tomorrow they will come with weapons of mass destruction "
This frightens people
very honest and serious people
stands and says heart:
"I am anti-war and not like any of that,
but they come to us we will see a mushroom cloud. "
but if you look at the people in the world
the ones that feel frightened by Saddam Hussein,
are the US.
the people of the region are not afraid him, not Europe are afraid of him,
- I do not know if Canada - not afraid of him,
but the United States have a real fear.
mas as do Estados Unidos têm um medo real.
If you want to distract attention from the population one that is directed attack against her,
terrify it!
It is an old story!
And it's...
second nature around the world.
most of these figures are the Reagan administration...
and did exactly the same then!
following the same 20 years scheme Reagan administration.
they follow the same script.
First lead the country to a large budget deficit.
what supposes that need < br /> reduce social despezas.
This means that you need...
reduce social spending, that are very important.
reduzir as despesas sociais, que são muito importantes.
Do not say as clearly as I but describe basically so.
But they say basically.
they claim that the Bush administration,
introduced the country in a first major deficit
although they are independent of each other,
with one or two bad decisions,
the first is the reduction of taxes, which affects the rich as,
the Wall Street Journal says that.
40% is for 1% of the population
So large cuts taxes for rich.
And the second, increase spending federal government as never before in 20 years
since the Reagan administration.
desde a administração Reagan.
There are conservative. Reactionary extremists are State. </ P>
They want a strong government, but for the rich
so the higher spending federal in 20 years
and the further reduction of taxes for the rich.;
course this means that there is a deficit,
then can reduce...
... social spending...
eliminating the public education system,
getting rid of the limited public health system,
that exists in the uS , taking care to eliminate,
reducing pensions and so on.
But do not want people think about it.
They want the frightened people.
Querem as pessoas amedrontadas.
other brave cowboy was in the White House,
surrounded by tanks
because there was a Libyan by Washington streets shouting,
and intended assassinate the president.
and the world had fear,
and admired the courage of our "John Wayne".
and so it was for all 80.
in the said the Sandinistas were two hours from Texas,
Gaddafi was on the map sweep,
Latin American drug traffickers were destroy our youth and so on.
With the frightened population could develop these attacks.
It's exactly the same thing the same script.
É exatamente a mesma coisa, o mesmo roteiro.
In fact, according to George Bush, "If you do not get rid of them now,
tomorrow will launch in nuclear bombs. "
No more than a year, but in attack immediately tomorrow.
And people are afraid.
I have given lectures...
I have seen palteias 2,000 maddened people,
and when people ask questions, many of them are very sincere about it,
and are afraid of truth
They say, "If you do not detivermos now he will come to us." </ p >
If not he will Noriega or any other monster,
Gaddafi or who appear.
the next step will be the Iran!
O próximo passo será o Irã!
And...
And that's the way to scare people!
I want to ask you about the mobilization of fear.
You talked a lot about the mobilization fear for who is out,
but one thing I ask you is:
the way fear mobilization from within
can be detrimental to the organization
in terms of fear of neighbor, people of their community.
and many have fallen into this mobilization
and was...
E is not only the fear of being invaded by Saddam Hussein,
that somehow is easier to handle
than be mobilized by fear
do que ser mobilizado pelo medo
This is an element of fear,
I want you to comment on < br /> the impact it had in the uS
because I think that is something we at least we are aware,
reading the news regularly...
fear of your next door neighbor or fear of expensive living in slums in the city center?
No, that people who came from Canada,
living in our community, like normal people...
- the fear of immigrant - Exact
And so! something very like with what happened in the '50s.
the 1950s was not a large organization period
but a moment of immense repression,
mas um momento de imensa repressão,
I do not think there was much repression in the 50s. </ P>
I think it was something internalized.
that is, the associated repression to McCarthyism was not so.
in other words, people did not want submeter- if, as I recall,
simply laughed at him.
in fact, when the McCarthy hearings had space I was a student at Harvard.
And...
... I lived at home.
There was only one TV for students living off campus.
and some friends and I were watch in the afternoons
and there we could hear the audience applauding and all MacCarthy... had good reason.
e ali ouvíamos as audiências e todos aplaudiam MacCarthy... tinham boas razões.
much larger than beat him. </ P>
It was good while attacked weak people
but when he got to the army was crushed.
So we took fun. and nothing happened to him.
you know, you could do whatever he wanted, repression was almost nonexistent.
it was something impactful because people accepted it.
In 1960s, they tried again,
but people laughed at them and they failed.
However, the activities committee anti -americanas was there.
and when they called people to witness and the person laughed,
and then disappeared because they had no strength .
e então desapareceu, porque eles não tinham força nenhuma.
When you accept the repression. </ P>
If you do not accept, does not actually exist,
instead of going against them in this case collapse.
But the fear of the neighbor or something, is common.
for example, my neighbors where I live in Boston:
what is a suburban residential neighborhood upper middle class....
teachers. ..
doctors and so on.
at night...
Almost every night, to 2 am,
horrible sound alarms awaken the whole neighborhood,
wake up everyone in the neighborhood.
everyone has their alarm, except us,
Todos têm o seu alarme, exceto nós,
and all are connected to police,
that never comes because they believe < br /> are false alarms, which is true.
And so does alarms of cars.
And all because people are scared. what do they fear?
The greatest threat in this city,
is that you can lose a cat or something,
but people continue to fear, even putting alarms.
but, yes, they are afraid.
but that's part of a flatter wide.
It is part of an effort to destroy...
solidarity and compassion.
and this happens in many ways,
E isso acontece de muitas maneiras,
What is the goal to privatize schools? </ P>
Well, the goal is to impress on people who care about themselves.
So, as I do not school-age children,
according to ideology, is supposed to not have to worry if the child neighbor has or not school.
I just do not want to pay taxes
because I want to reduce taxes, why not not care that child goes to school.
What if I have enough money,
I can send my children to a private school if you want.
Who cares to public school?
Should we privatize the school,
Deveríamos privatizar a escola,
and all care, so have to take it head .
I do not know here, but so does the privatization of pensions and social security.
the point is that the United States make great efforts to privatize social security.
This is...
financially speaking, it's ridiculous,
because the cost is enormous.
But there are reasons for it!
social security is based in an unacceptable principle
and this is, you have to care if there a widow with disabilities.
But suppose you do not should care about it,
Mas supõe que não se deve importar com isso,
cars enough video games, which is...
This is what you should worry about. privatizing social security...
Also, another advantage privatize social security
other brilliant result,
is again working class against their own interests.
Because if your pension is in the bag,
you want sure these value stocks rise
and it is reducing wages and working conditions
and outsourcing jobs...
in Chinese textile factories, etc.
as you worker is forced to deny their own interests.
Assim como trabalhador você se vê obrigado a negar seus próprios interesses.
For reasons such as these whether to privatize
social security, water, schools...
and also to make people fear each other.
You should fear the neighbors,
and invest your money in alarm systems
the police ignore and so on.
so these are ways to control people and fear is one of them.
that's why the fear of crimes is so great in the uS
not because of crime,
but because it manufactures.
... And when you see these activist groups
asking: "what can we do & apos; because what he describes
is so bleak, so what can we do? "
é tão desolador, então o que podemos fazer?"
and he says, "Do extamente what they are doing!" </ P>
"You need to keep the unrest,
And basically...
take an activist of life."
Activism
the Movement by Global Justice in its different forms,
is a completely new phenomenon, as there was never the same before.
it started in the south.
Its main centers are India, Brazil, and places.
And about 10, 15 years after reached the north.
When burst in the streets of Seattle
began to pay attention.
But when it was about a 200 000 Indians in front of Parliament,
It did not matter.
não importava.
I was in the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre
last February, there were 700,000 people all parts of the world
different forms of life,
with interests and affinities imaginable,
with strong energy and courage, and think activism around the world,
of campesinos to ecologists, what you think.
and this is a phenomenon completely again.
somehow one could say,
which is the beginning of realization of which was the main goal
of the labor movement left 150 years ago, an international real.
there has never been, the seeds were quickly destroyed,
Nunca houve uma, as sementes foram rapidamente destruídas,
and is a reflection of things happening everywhere. </ P>
If I I look back, the life of my activist friends,
- and most of my friends is an activist -
key to people who have been...
meetings and talked with Chomsky and heard him,
- and they had the opportunity to talk privately -
key is that it provided the foundations to address a topic
and prepare immediately a thought.
Chomsky gave us that.
the system country became much more civilized and this was a good deal of the West
it was not a gift, I refer to civil rights or anything else.
or labor rights and the like.
Ou direitos trabalhistas e afins.
And the options open to us,
much easier than for the rest the world.
we have a high degree of freedom,
through the realization of our predecessors who fought to achieve this freedom.
now we have have the opportunity
that most people the world has not.
If you start to speak in favor of freedom of expression in Turkey,
how many people boldly do,
you can end up in a prison Turkish , which is no fun.
If you try to do it in one of the States US customer in Latin America,
Se você tentar fazê-lo em um dos Estados- cliente dos E.U.A na América Latina,
We do not have these problems, related to expression. </ P>
There are no problems be an activist. You have a lot of possibilities.
It has been successful in the past and there is no no reason not to continue.
I do not see no problem, fact, this is the best time,
to organize activism,
that I can remember throughout my life.
As you talk to people without alienating them,
the encouraging discuss paradigms,
without being too theoretical? </ p >
- Well, you do not believe that these things are normal aspects of life of any person,
- Bem, você não acredita que estas coisas são aspectos normais da vida de qualquer pessoa,
I mean, we are not using a sophisticated language,
- you can not speak child . - Well, I mean to the average person...
Yes, but this average person not understand things like...
sexual abuse or leaders giving orders you do not like,
or destruction of the environment?
I believe that these are concerns anyone.
And if not, you have not have time or inclination...
whatever it is.
Thus, those who organize should speak up...
I mean, should in fact...
... teach people and learn from them?
...ensinar as pessoas ou aprender delas?
I was to introduce what we called of "great culture":
sciences, mathematics, arts etc...
to people who have not had the privilege of spending the school.
most of that was the school either had spent the 4th series.
And it was done, people wanted, people liked,
liked to participate, would on their own.
those of us who are privileged,
also have a responsibility to help people make for themselves.
How do the people if release,
so that they are organized collectively
tags to release racism, sexism...?
you know, start...
Sabe, começar a...
When you start to think in these terms,
in other people and what they need, you begin to theorize
on communities and ideal societies
and do not be asking.?
"Why am I asking this question now what was the previous discussion? "
what is my role as class medium, high class, or whatever...
or my gender role, sexual orientation, etc.?
E...
Assim...
acredito which is a very easy trap </ p >
for university activist mentality.
wonder, what is the ideal solution for all, what is the autopia
se perguntar, qual é a solução ideal para todos, qual é a autopia,
Why do not we go to these places,
instead of saying, "Why people are not here We bring them here
and use our privilege to expand that kind of shit for everyone, you know?
" Let's teach them... "This is colonialism, that is...!
It is colonialism, for example, if I were a mathematician,
and I was to the working class help people learn math?
this is colonialism?
Ok, this is a question biased, right ?
no, do not believe it.
this is what is education of workers.
É nisso que consiste a educação dos trabalhadores.
Não acredito...
-... the education of Worker is colonialism
But what I am saying is that you are . making use of their privileges, right?
See, do not deny. I will make use of them I'm not saying do not have the
I will not pretend that I am a poor immigrant Korean who does not speak English -.. I'm not
Neither'll pretend I can work in a center violations, I can not.
I am myself and not someone else.
question is whether being who you are,
- whoever you are, without denying who you are -
you can do something to help people in need .
você pode fazer algo para ajudar pessoas necessitadas.
I will not organize workers, because I do not know. </ P>
it would have to transform me into a worker, and this is below my knowledge,
starting from level one.
I will not do it, and that < br /> would have no meaning.
I agredeci...
for what I said about the progress that had on individual rights
and freedoms over the past 40 years. is good to be reminded of that,
because we are so confused.
I'm so confused! It's great that he encourage greater popular struggle. </ P>
Eu fico tão confusa! É ótimo que ele incentive uma maior luta popular.
Sabe, faz a diferença.
than in the past. </ P>
There is a reason for Rights Humans are more protected.
in fact, there is a reason why some intellectuals had to use propaganda,
like handling technique and control
and it is because they could no longer use force.
the reason is that the struggles popular so many years,
has improved things enormente
like the one we had in recent years.
the Commission intellectual Trilateral were concerned,
with the excess of democracy '60s .
And there were many attempts to end it,
E houve muitas tentativas de acabar com ela,
Today there is much more activism, more engagement,
even more progress, indeed, in many respects the last 20 or 30 years.
If you go back to 60, for example.
Do you remember how things were.
there was only the feminist movement.
women's rights were quite marginalized,
there was no environmental movement, nobody < br /> was concerned with protecting the environment,
there was no movement solidarity with the Third World,
there was no anti-nuclear movement, not there was movement for global justice,
or by social justice, which are very significant.
nem por justiça social, que são muito significativos.
The current protests on the verge war against Iraq
are absolutely unique.
There is no precedent in story I can think of.
I can not think of another episode in entire history of European imperialism,
where there were protests before start a war.
last year, since September 11. This has never happened to him.
Him send requests to interviews and conferences...
Simplemente the flood.
and it's like...
There at least in my opinion,
a need, desire of people hear another opinion,
uma necessidade, desejo das pessoas ouvirem outra opinião,
para poder entender o que está acontecendo.
to hear other analysis,
different analyzes those who are used to hear. </ P>
11 / 9
for hundreds of years of history,
the West has monopolized the use of violence.
So...
mass terrorism is the we have made to them.
they do with us.
September 11 was the first exception.
the first time in hundreds of years,
a Western country suffers an attack on own territory
extamente something we do routinely everywhere.
Israel is the same. For me, it was very impressive to see that.
After September 11, I given hundreds of interviews,
Depois do 11 de setembro, tenho dado centenas de entrevistas,
often on radio and national television . </ P>
Sometimes on television Irish and often on BBC
and the different reactions are incredible.
I said these things in the Irish TV,
immediately put an end to the conversation, do not talk more about it.
I tried to tell the BBC, took a time explaining what he meant.
the Irish seem accustomed to.
Irish were under yoke for hundreds of years, with fear,
and the same is true for elsewhere in the world,
but to the West the idea that anyone can do with us,
a fraction of what routinely do with them,
is simply absurd.
é simplemente absurda.
and, until recently, was literally immune to retaliation in their territories
And they are not acting gentle manner:.
is brutal, humiliating, repressive, steal resources, expelled people, etc.
But there was no retaliation!
last year there was some retaliation and was a scandal.
The West also considered a scandal.
Because if we do this against them, it's okay.
But if they do against us, is not well.
So if Israel invades Lebanon with US support and 20,000 people, you know.
well... the way things are. There is no problem.
Bom... as coisas são assim. Não existe problema.
The question was. What is the effect of 11/9 on activism ?
I believe that there is a kind of double effect.
September 11 was immediately provided
and looking back, we can say that the prediction was correct,
that all the repressive force of the world
saw 11/9 as a right opportunity to
enlarge what they were doing.
for example, the Russians saw an opportunity to expand their attacks on Chechnya
claiming it is the war against terrorism
now with the consent of Washington.
the Chinese did the same as the West of China
Os chineses fizeram o mesmo como o Oeste da China,
Israel in the occupied territories, and so on. There is a list. </ P>
In addition, any government make use of the opportunity,
to impose greater discipline on its own population,
again under the guise of war against terrorism.
This is how in most states dictatorial, as in Central Asia
but also in most democracies with prevention bodies against terrorism
through decrees and the like.
Mainly, to apply discipline on its own population.
this is just a continuation of trends that were already underway,
using this...
usando essa...
It was something predictable and of course what happened. </ P>
If you are interested in terrorism,
you should analyze the causes!
from the point of view of the apologists of state violence, such as those provisioned for you,
you should not look at the causes, < br /> because it is rationalization,
or justification.
So if you look at the causes and all seem to do, that's rationalization.
what you should do is go into a trance and protest against Islamic fascism,
and blame bad genes Arab or something.
But do not analyze the causes, and there is a good reason for it.
Mas não se analisa as causas, e há uma boa razão para isso.
and that leaves you stunned. </ P>
The main task of intellectuals, always, but now especially
is to ensure that people never look in the mirror.
We never looked at each other, look only for others.
Threats They leave things under the door...
Well, as you can imagine. There is a lot of hostility.
different groups...
interrupt the talks.
Oh yes, this is common.
True
In fact, a Consequently end of the Cold War,
is that the clouds are gone,
and reality can be seen more clearly
e a realidade pode ser vista com maior nitidez
Well, five years after that,
one might analyze the deterrence strategies the Cold War that I quoted earlier,
, and it is now clear what means "deterrence".
the aim is to deter those who seek the path of independence.
And only a profound historical amnesia,
like the one attributed to Orwell educational systems functioning properly,
only in this way could recognize the origin of this doctrine
dating from the end of the World War II,
but also previously in history other imperialist states.
Perhaps the best example of all is Cuba.
Talvez o exemplo mais ilustrativo disso tudo seja Cuba.
Remember that just completed the 40th anniversary of the crisis the Cuban missile
and the anniversary gathered a high-level conference in Havana
- Russians, Cubans and Americans, most of Kennedy's administration - </ p >
and the conference revealed some startling information
about how we were coming of nuclear war,
which would have meant an undesirable response,
the question of Ernst Mayr.
Decobriu if that saved us a final catastrophe,
for a word by a single word,
a submarine captain Russian named Vasili Arhipov
de um capitão de submarino russo chamado Vasili Arhipov,
since he opposed one order to launch nuclear missiles,
a submarine soviétivo which was under attack by a ship American war,
that ran quarantine ship John F. Kennedy.
This was the most next we got the end of human civilization:
a word of a captain in a Russian submarine
This was the most dangerous time in human history,
second said Arthur Schlesinger, Kennedy adviser at the time,
when he knew the fact.
Robert McNamara then Defense Secretary
he said in a conference
ele disse, em um conferência
He said: "If I were Russian or Cuban
would have thought the same. "
These facts in no way not amenisam criminal madness
to send nuclear missiles in order to deter,
or other actions of this tragic month
we find almost the wrong answer,
the question of whether it's better to be smart or stupid.
Well, these extraordinary events,
were quite marginalized in the United States.
I do not know how they were treated here.
Virtually no issued no comment.
the press reported, however, that "with the collapse of the Soviet Union,
A imprensa relatou, no entanto, que "com o colapso da União Soviética,
This is typical of analyzes on terrorism,
highlighting the allegations
the role of Cuba in international terrorism
but managed to hide the fact that
Cuba probably halt the world record
as a terrorist target the past 40 years.
And another fact that is not mentioned,
are the terrorist acts of high Washington commanding officers,
which raised the fear of another US invasion
and helped speed the missile crisis
that came close to destroying the we call "human civilization".
in fact, it's amazing how disciplined
De fato, é impressionante o quão disciplinado
citing the phrase Orwell again
just when the terrible consequences that had been hidden,
were finally discovered.
See, I found no quote.
there may be some editorial specialized or academic article,
but I have not seen any quotes.
For a common academic means take many risks,
not think of his own career not think of professional boundaries,
not be well-liked by everyone,
not receive good reviews, or be appreciated by friends. </ p >
I want to say what I believe to be the truth and dedicated my life to it.
Eu quero dizer o que acredito ser a verdade e dediquei minha vida a isso.
that does this. </ P>
And we began to realize crime these others,
who have access to information,
that have suficente preparation for interpret and give meaning to them,
having privilege at least in our country,
to communicate these facts to others,
and instead tend to move their careers
- perhaps we should say "we" focus on our careers -
making use of an incomprehensible language that ordinary people do not understand, </ p >
and raising academic walls that can not be translated,
e levantando muros acadêmicos que não podem ser transpostos,
And he has no time for that
He ignores disciplinary barriers:
if he wants to learn about economy, he studies;.
if he wants to learn about history, he studies
So, we have someone who is intellectual and professor,
with life dedicated to justice,
using their intellectual resources,
do not care about the < br /> boundaries of disciplines.
When you put it all together, you can an unusual result.
Before 1968
had not no indication that Kennedy would leave Vietnam...
because he did not, he was a these management radicals.
porque ele não queria, ele era um desses radicais da administração.
After 1968, all of these individuals dedicated themselves to rewrite history
and say it was Kennedy who who fought to leave Vietnam,
since considered that war was bad,
and then Johnson arrived and things got worse.
it is a complete nonsense! and you can compare with what you did before.
Arthur Schlesinger took a daily the thousand days of Kennedy.
And there is no indication that someone planned leave Vietnam. This was never mentioned. </ P>
After that, Kennedy became a real symbol of peace, he wanted to end the war,
And then came a real industry most people left, by chance,
E de repente surgiu uma verdadeira indústria, a maioria de pessoas de esquerda, por acaso,
and so he was murdered and etc. </ P>
These things Oliver Stone.
this is completely false!
But this is the image,
that intellectuals are building on themselves.
Because they are the only guardians of history.
This is the text of books and history books, etc.
If you want to know the truth, you must go to the original documents.
you need to go to Russell File to find out what was true,
you will not find in the history books.
so, be careful when you hear intellectuals talking about fighting for jutiça.
they...
Eles...
The young remain in their seats,
and this does not happen anyone else.
The Phenomenon Chomsky
in 1988, I believe a naive way...
well, I knew he was well known, but put a simple poster with the name of Chomsky...
assuming that everyone knew, and gave time on site...
we reserve the largest room we had to put the largest number of people,
and rented the room next to have audio and live video.
And then there was the same night one important figure who was going to speak,
a very famous man.
Despite all this, there was how to fit the people in the rooms.
Apesar disso tudo, não havia como caber as pessoas nas salas.
There were many people at the time,
but not as much as now. </ P>
Mainly your book "11/9" and the facts from the 11/9,
probably the things he has said for years are more evident.
the people here realized that he predicted what was going on.
And...
Yes, his fame was great before, and is now higher
What is the segment of the population interested in your book
(Tracey Higgins - Livreira Bryan Price).? All categories.
they are students,
professional
we have people from all possible areas,
and people who have never had < br /> seen before in the store.
e pessoas que nunca tínhamos visto antes na loja.
Maybe Many young people support Professor Chomsky...
(Research Centre Bertrand Russell) seek a reference figure, if you will,
they can design the their feelings and criticism
in many of the subjects treated by him.
I believe that this kind of... worship,
which is focused on professor Chomsky person,
is something that looks like the bother personally
and he does everything to discourage them that,
and tries to focus them subtly the essence of the problems,
what needs to be solved.
do que precisa ser resolvido.
and always sell the Chomsky's books,
because I think proximity university helped.
And there is a kind of underground activism in Hamilton,
which is not always seen or people hear about.
So Chomsky is always a good deal for us,
but the "11/9", perhaps to be fresh in people's minds,
sold extremely well,
I think it's currently the best-selling book for us.
this is because no longer available for a long time.
And this is something extraordinary.
there are, in fact, only a small percentage of people
Há, de fato, apenas uma pequena porcentagem de pessoas,
Someone told me he heard the following:
"Listen say that is such a Chomsky, say it's very good, I have to see it. "
" I do not know who will open for him, but no matter. "
you . a true star of Rock
For him, the most difficult part is fatigue
Today is one of the reasons d & apos;. I go...
is to intervene...
intervene in some way...
I mean, when the thing becomes...
receiving a star of Rock.
And it's something disturbing.
He needs a chairperson,
to take care of it,
and refuse extra requests, etc.
e para recusar solicitações extras, etc.
And the first thing was well suited
I was retired recently.
and the first trip I made,
went to South America,
and I went to see if it worked,
you know, your wife is out there... I mean
But he said, "Yes, try, we'll see!"
So I went and worked!
in fact, part of the trip in Argentina was a lot of fun.
it is the style of Latin America is very slow,
nothing ever starts on time etc.
so I was limited events, the next, and so on.
E I felt I was interfering all the time...
but had to do so.
mas tinha que fazer assim.
And at the end when we gave thanks,
- the final speech of the event -
agredeciam the all
I was surprised responsible
to negotiate any event,
he said: "I would also like to thank Carol
to keep us in line,
and that without such discipline no would have been able to accomplish,
everything we plan for this trip. "
I was like... With the idea that
somehow he considered positively,
to ? their own goals
Then I said. "well, okay, if that's how everything is seen"
it is very obvious to say, but it is a man highly talented, very smart.
É muito óbvio dizer, mas ele é um homem altamente talentoso, muito inteligente.
which is a wonderful person. </ P>
And I think I can say that it is also intelligent by marrying him.
they are true companions.
Some situations are very funny.
on the last trip, I never < br /> I was, the program said...
who had given him only half an hour alone in the room,
without being bothered.
and I can not say as there was a person sitting next to him all the time,
and several students knocking on the door to to autograph books. </ p >
And the person who accompanied allowed books entered for him to sign.
My son after that...
it was clear that people understand...
Estava claro de que as pessoas entenderam...
My son asked me later:
"What they do not understand in & apos; only & apos; and & apos; uninterrupted & apos;. "
one more, this is for me
Finished <? / i>
Okay, I'm done.
has book to autograph?
- thank - Okay. I'll see you in a few minutes
Please join with me to welcome the man who left all us closer,
the unachievable Goddess of Truth
da inalcançável Deusa da Verdade,
