We've introduced a new feature . . . Green & Red Archives. We're
putting out encore episodes of some older talks and events that Scott
and I have organized or participated in over the years. Recently, to
pay our respects to the great Daniel Ellsberg, we put up a speech he
gave in Houston in February 2003 in which he spoke about many things,
but in particular warned of the coming war against Iraq in prescient
ways, which is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD2PcWHj4Wk
Now we're going to stay on that theme and present to you a speech that
took place in Houston a few months before that. In October 2002, as the
Bush administration was ramping up to invade Iraq, I was honored to
organize and introduce Noam Chomsky to an overflow crowd at the
University of Houston. Like Ellsberg, Chomsky offered a succinct and
historically-driven argument against intervention in the Middle East and
discussed the deceitful government and media narratives driving what
would become a bloody and consequential war.
So enjoy this talk from Noam Chomsky and follow Green & Red on
YouTube, on whichever podcast platform you prefer, on social media and
on our webpage at https://greenandredpodcast.org/ and you can also find information there on contributing to our scrappy media efforts.
And now here's Noam Chomsky talking the US and Iraq in October 2002.
