Noam Chomsky: Nuclear Weapons and Unchecked Climate Change Are Leading Us Toward Doomsday


?list=PLZNV4DrfcAmHk88zdCZJ4nydI8NurqcvL


“It’s now 70 years since the end of the most horrific war in history,” the renowned intellectual said in a disquieting recent talk for the Lannan Foundation’s “In Pursuit of Cultural Freedom” lecture series. The war “ended with the use of an ultimate weapon which can bring human history to an end.” Soberingly, Chomsky added: “We’ve been living under that shadow ever since.”

days, and certainly unpopular, which is why so many bury their head in the sand & are suffering from ignorance on so many levels. Science and truth be damned, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...sorry, Fleetwood Mac, nice song, but terrible way to live a life.

An intellectual nightmare has been descending on the populace for far too long, idiocy is now more popular than intellect, go figure.
But, hey, let's go with that, right? Sweet nothings are so much better than a dose of reality.

K & R for Chomsky who is so much more than a "mission accomplished" set of BS lies, keep bringing it to DU, TY, marmar!
