A classic talk by progressive historian Howard Zinn. Zinn spoke in Boston, at an antiwar "teach-in," on September 25, 2001--just before the U.S. launched its war against Afghanistan.
Zinn spoke of governments that lie to their people-- particularly the United States government. Governments especially lie as they launch unnecessary wars--for instance against Mexico, Spain, and Vietnam. Average citizens can empower themselves by learning and remembering real history.
(Continued under "Credits,")
Zinn notes that most of the alleged attackers on 9/11 were Saudi Arabians--yet the government was now beating the war drums aginst Afghanistan, not Saudi Arabia. Something fishy is going on here. . . .
