Manufacturing Consent

This is amongst the choicest of all documentaries I've seen out of hundreds. Behold "Manufacturing Consent", Noam Chomsky's flagship documentary. File this one on the Top Shelf right in between the "Constitution Class" and "The Century of Self".

Chomsky's masterpiece ties it all together, while dissecting the media and establishment with surgical precision (I'm not kidding). Chomsky, now at age 79, smashes the "Liberal Bias" theory, despite being considered by his staunchest critics as being "Liberal".

Certain parts function as a sort of biography of Noam, but these parts are mostly short, and some are necessary to clear up certain misconceptions that many of his critics hold. All of these examples that I can think of also shed light on his flavor of enlightenment, and by the films end he works these out to offer vast solutions to the social domination crisis that has been underway for nearly countless decades. While I don't particularly agree with his every ideal, I think that his view is critical in establishing a broad solution spectrum, that if combined with Michael Badnarik's view, opens up basically all of the doors. In short, this film may actually leave you with a great sense of hope and motivation which isn't something I can say for the majority of films I post here.

a very good post

the critics of chomsky claim that he is a left zionist deceiver but i just wonder if because of his "zionist parents" he is challenged to label the purpertraitors as zionists while simultaniously getting tons of good information and critical thought out about the reality of the propoganda machine

at 46:22 a "student" ask him the following question

Do u think you've escaped the idealogical indocrinton of the media and the society that u grew up in

chomsky: "do i ?... often not, when i look back and think at the things that i haven't done that i should have done , it's um ahh a very ... ahh it's ahh.. a very unpleasent experience"

his ties to MIT who has profited much to the benefit of WAR is a little disturbing also

my biggest problem (Unless i haven't uncovered it yet) is how the man who is self-proclaimed able to see thru propoganda can't say or establish what the zionist propoganda used against the jewish people and how these elite zionists have such a strong hold over the united states foreign policy


and the ZIONIST elite being the actual eltie he talks about that have this control over us. why does he not state this (again unless it is surpressed in the media?)


but the ELITE LIKE TO have control of both sides of an issue and chomsky can herd the thoughts of those who have a higher level of understanding of what is going on in a anti american fashion while leaving out the ZIONIST ELITE hmmm

ignorance isn't bliss what are you thoughts on his reputation

i think this is good for the new recovering sheeple to watch but for those with there eyes open he is not that helpful

He's one of the biggest critics of Isreali policy out there.

My view is that the israeli's arent exactly the problem, aside from "13 bloodlines" theories and allegations, the problem is American Imperialism itself.

One has to wonder what our extremist fascination with Israel is really about... ?

Ever consider that maybe it's just the permanent Middle Eastern (US) imperial beachhead-fortress?

Why else would we really care that much about it? This affliction runs rather paramount amongst all US politicians and etc, and so does the ongoing American Imperialism agenda.

There was a stretch of time where I blew off Chimsky after being initially exposed to him thru that infamous clip where he states "who cares if a few thousand peple died", or whatever he said about 911.

Now, with my evolved view, I get the feeling that perhaps he rubs it liek that because here's a man who's been trying to expose American Imperialism and the indoctrinating elitist media system for some 40 plus years, and he's basically gotten nowhere. Perhaps in his view, if people cant come to terms with this most basic truth (I call it the FIRST Truth), then how can they the masses) ever comes to terms with the (assuming it US-based) 9/11 conspirators, or anything beyond that? While he doesnt state this view very clearly, and perhaps its not his view and reasons for those statements (i cant speak FOR him), this is what i've learned from all of this. And as it turns out, the key to understanding ANY view of 911 in full clarity requires first understanding the true nature of this system.
