Noam Chomsky brings his awesome talents to bear on the world media's hidden agenda, ie generally keeping people in the dark on some of the most important aspects of global politics. Not only how the news is censored by the ruling elite's agenda but also how it's twisted to meet their needs. Truly this can change your life, even though you knew it all already!

Noam Chomsky comments on the the new war on terrorism, U.S. foreign policy, Osama bin Laden, U.S. involvement with Afghanistan, and the long-term implications of America's military attacks abroad. Based on a composite of interviews conducted in the month following the 9-11 attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, Chomsky's impeccable knowledge of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and South Asia sheds light on the rapidly shifting balance of world power. Speaking out against responding to violence with violence, Chomsky hopes that "an aroused public within the more free and democratic societies can direct policies towards a much more humane and honorable course."

1999 saw two major international crises which, looked at side-by-side, starkly illuminate the strategies of the Western powers in the new century. Humanitarianism was not the moving force behind military intervention in Yugoslavia: here, as in East Timor, strategic concerns were dominant and the fate of civilian populations incidental.

In 1970 Noam Chomsky urged Americans to confront and avoid the dangers inherent in the American invasion of Southeast Asia. Looking back 30 years later, we still share Chomsky's concern: Will this new war lead to an ever-expanding battle against the people of the world and increasing repression in the US and UK? Drawing in part on his visits to Asia and in part on his extensive reading in the field, Chomsky discusses the historical, political and economic reasons behind the US involvement in a Southeast Asian land war. At War With Asia is an indispensable guide to understanding not only the past, but the current logic of imperial force.

With the recent celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights, and America's undisputed position as the world's only superpower, the contrast between the rhetoric and the reality of US foreign policy has never been more stark.

With his inimitable penetrating analysis and dry wit, Chomsky leads us through the murky blood-soaked reality of America's New World Order - whether it's NAFTA, GATT and MAI, or our relations with Palestine, Israel, Haiti and China.

The second lecture of this two part set focuses on the motives and consequences of US Iraq policy - a continuing (though hardly unique) shiny example of murderous hypocrisy at its most lethal.

Noam Chomsky is perhaps the foremost critic of American foreign policy, the media which propagandizes on its behalf, and the economic system which provides the real motor for its deadly course. Certainly the most tireless critic, he writes profusely and lectures frequently.

"Chomsky is familiar with the key that opens forbidden doors." - Eduardo Galeano

One of the world's leading radical intellectuals moves beyond criticism. Chomsky's vision of an anarchist future.

We all know what Noam Chomsky is against. His scathing analysis of everything that's wrong with our society reaches more and more people every day. His brilliant critiques of — among other things — capitalism, imperialism, domestic repression and government propaganda, have become mini-publishing industries unto themselves. But, in this flood of publishing and republishing, very little ever gets said about what exactly Chomsky stands for, his own personal politics, his vision of the future. Not, that is, until 'Chomsky on Anarchism', a groundbreaking new book that shows a different side of this best-selling author: the anarchist principles that have guided him since he was a teenager. This collection of Chomsky's essays and interviews includes numerous pieces that have never been published before, as well as rare material that first saw the light of day in hard-to-find pamphlets and anarchist periodicals. Taken together, they paint a fresh picture of Chomsky, showing his life-long involvement with the anarchist community, his constant commitment to nonhierarchical models of political organization, and his hopes for a future world without rulers. For anyone who's been touched by Chomsky's trenchant analysis of our current situation, as well as anyone looking for an intelligent and coherent discussion of anarchism itself, Chomsky on Anarchism will be one of this season's most exciting, and surprising, reads.

Noam Chomsky is one of the world’s leading intellectuals, the father of modern linguistics, an outspoken media and foreign policy critic, and tireless activist. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts. 2005

There is endless talk about the free market and it's virtues. Entrepreneurs compete on level playing fields and the public benefits. The chasm between such fantasies and reality is acute and growing wider.

Megamergers and monopolies are limiting competition. Fewer than 10 corporations control most of the global media. The existing free market depends heavily on taxpayer subsidies and bailouts. Corporate welfare far exceeds that which goes to the poor. Economic policy is based on the dictum, takes from the needy and gives to the greedy. “The captains of industry of today make the robber barons of the 19th century look like underachievers. The gap between CEO and the worker salaries has never been sharper. One union leader put it this way, "Workers are getting the absolute crap kicked out of them".

Chomsky is back, contesting official versions of history and today's news in tow powerful lectures and a 45 minute interview.

In 'Imperial Grand Strategy', a lecture given at the University of Manchester, Chomsky takes on the war in Iraq. He cuts through the ideological fog that surrounds the invasion and occupation, laying waste to the U.S. government's justifications for them. In the process he uncovers the real motivations behind U.S. military agression: a global imperial plan put in place long before Iraq - and that will extend far into the future, unless we do something about it.

'The Assault on Freedom and Democracy', delivered at Merrimack College, moves from broad, geo-political concerns to the sort of authoritarian societies needed "on the ground" for such imperial strategies to work. Discussing the Patriot Acts (1 & 2) at home and a long and disgraceful U.S. history of "democracy building" abroad, Chomsky highlights the vast difference between noble rhetoric and our consistent military and economic support for dictators and thugs.

The DVD ends with 'Questions about Anarchism', an interview with Barry Pateman of the Emma Goldman Archives. In a more relaxed and personal exchange, Chomsky discusses the anarchist principles that have guided him since he was a teenager and that lie behind the social and political analysis he's been producing for the last four decades.

It's Noam Chomsky vs the Bush Regime in this much-anticipated spoken-word release. Recorded in November 2004, just after the 're-election' of George W. Bush, Chomsky pinpoints the principle commitments of the current administration. In the name of expanding markets and controlling access to key natural resources, we've seen the blatant undermining of democratic practice, contempt for international law, restriction of civil liberties, and the use of state terrorism to further policy objectives.

This is not another cataloguing of the offences and blunders committed by Bush, but a lively chronicle of the systematic power plays that have effectively wrenched power from ordinary people's hands and made the world an increasingly unstable place.

The media present themselves as objective, balanced and free from any agenda. Reality suggests a different construct. The media are large conglomerates that serve to mobilise support for the special interests that dominate state and corporate power. In democratic societies populations are not controlled by force. Rather, they are subject to more refined forms of ideological manipulation. Necessary illusions are created. Consent is manufactured. The public is marginalised.

Necessary Illusions explodes the myth of an independent media, intent on uncovering the truth at any cost. Noam Chomsky demonstrates that, in practice, the media in the developed world serve the interests of state and corporate power - despite protestations to the contrary. While individual journalists strive to abide by high standards of professionalism and integrity in their work, their paymasters - the media corporations - ultimately decide what we view, hear and read.

Rigorously documented, Necessary Illusions continues Chomsky's celebrated tradition of profoundly insightful indictments of US foreign and domestic institutions and tears away the veneer of propaganda that portrays the media as the servant of free speech and democracy.

Chomsky's latest thinking on terrorism, US foreign policy, and the meaning and true impact of militarism in the world today, based on a series of talks and conversations in March and May of 2002. He reviews the history of war crimes and delivers his now-famous analysis of the double-standards and hypocrisy of Western governments, and the role of the media and intellectuals. With clarity and forcefulness, he places terrorist acts in the context of American foreign intervention throughout the postwar decades - in Vietnam, Central America, the Middle East and elsewhere. And this new volume includes Chomsky's personal reflections on the sources of his optimism, and the connection, if any, between his work in linguistics and his political activism.

From East Timor to the Middle East, from the nature of democracy to our place in the natural world, from intellectual politics to the politics of language, Powers and Prospects provides a scathing critique of orthodox views and government policy, and outlines other paths that can lead to better understanding an more constructive action. Chomsky lifts the veil of distortions that conceals the workings of history and social policy, and reveals how the 'new' world order is little more than a remarketing of the same old disorder. His refreshingly clear views of the world and the nature of things are supported by a wealth of detail.

'The war against working people should be understood to be a real war. It's not a new war. It's an old war. Furthermore it's a perfectly conscious war everywhere, but specifically in the US...which happens to have a highly class-conscious business class.....And they have long seen themselves as fighting a bitter class war, except they don't want anybody else to know about it' [Noam Chomsky, from the CD]. The latest in the audio series bringing Chomsky's finest lectures to compact disc, and perhaps his most important to date. An introduction to, and synthesis of, his key thinking on the media, propaganda and its pivotal role in the relentless class struggle being waged daily. 'There's no doubt that one of the major issues of twentieth century history, surely in the US, is corporate propaganda........Its goal from the beginning, perfectly openly and consciously, was to “control the public mind,” as they put it. The reason was that the public mind was seen as the greatest threat to the corporations.” [Noam Chomsky, from the CD]

In the lecture captured on this compact disc, Noam Chomsky presents his evaluation of the 'prospects for democracy' in the US in the New World Order. Beginning with a broad review of democratic theory and political history he argues that the classical democrats like Thomas Jefferson would be shocked at the current disrepair of US democracy. The enormous growth of corporate capitalism has already devastated democratic culture and government by concentrating power in the hands of the wealthy. And the future looks no brighter. International trade agreements such as GATT and NAFTA threaten to further inflate corporate power and all but eliminate any public accountability.

In Radical Priorities, C.P. Otero sets out to "provide relatively easy access to Chomsky's libertarian philosophy and political analysis". Taken from a wide variety of sources, many never widely published--some never in a book at all and spanning four decades, the reader is furnished with a truly comprehensive window into Chomsky's anarchist convictions. Convictions which, while ever-present in his analysis are left largely misunderstood or worse-ignored. In seeking to combat the great challenges facing humanity, Chomsky's analysis and the traditions that bore it must not be left in obscurity.

Contrary to popular perception the real 'rogue' states in the world today are not the dictator-led developing countries we hear about in the news, but the United States and its allies. Chomsky challenges the legal and humanitarian reasons given to justify intervention in global conflicts in order to reveal the West's shameless reliance on the rule of force. Using recently released government documents, our man traces the paths of self-interest that led to NATO's intervention in Kosovo, the crisis in East Timor and US involvement in the Middle East, SE Asia and Latin America.

'The most ambitious book ever attempted on the conflict between Zionism and the Palestinians ... a great and important book.' Edward Said

Since its original publication in 1983, Fateful Triangle has become a classic in the fields of political science and Middle East affairs. This new edition features a new introduction and new chapters by Noam Chomsky, and a foreword by Edward Said. Examining America's search for a 'reliable ally' in the Middle East, Chomsky untangles the intricacies of the US-Israeli-Palestinian relationship and lays bare the contortions, lies and misinformation that have been used over the years to obscure the real agenda. In the process he reveals the extent to which modern nation-states make claims for peace while actively pursuing very different objectives. In three new chapters Chomsky examines the Palestinian Uprising, the 'Limited War' in Lebanon and the Israeli-PLO Accords after the Oslo signings. This is a timely and much-needed corrective to the mythmaking that has obscured the real history of peace negotiations in the Middle East.

"...The notion of "humanitarian war" ought to be mocked by those paid to keep the record straight. But it remains a propaganda success."

Noam Chomsky, our greatest unraveller of accredited lies, addresses this in his powerful new book. The Nato action, he writes, "has ...[opened] gates to a...new epoch of moral rectitude under the guiding hand of an 'idealistic New World bent on ending inhumanity.

"...The new military humanism, like the Third Way, is a euphemism for the rehabilitation of an imperialism that dares not speak its name. --John Pilger, New Statesman .

Was the war over Kosovo really a multi-national effort waged solely for humanitarian reasons? Or was it the establishment of a new world order headed by self-proclaimed "enlightened states" with enough military might to ignore international law and world opinion? In this new book, begun after the NATO bombs started dropping in Yugoslavia and finished as the defeated Serbian forces were leaving the Kosovo province, Chomsky gives us an overview of that changing world order with "might makes right" as its foundation... He warns us about what he sees as a new colonialism cloaked in moralistic righteousness: Chomsky, who rarely does so, agrees in this book with Alexander Solzhenitsyn who pointed out that in Kosovo, "the aggressors have kicked aside the UN, opening a new era where might is right." Chomsky also blasts the aggressors in the Kosovo conflict -- European NATO countries and the US -- for responding to the Serbian atrocities while intentionally ignoring equally egregious and lethal ethnic cleansings in Turkey, Iraq, and Israel...Chomksy also sheds light on how New Humanists are affecting East Timor.
