Polk and Chomsky are giants (Chomsky even when I don’t agree with him) and the former I’m happy to say has written for TAC. Did the two make any effort to tone down your tendentiousness?
Ignore all those additional YouTube links that came with “sharing” this webpage. I didn’t think to realize that all of those were coming along with sharing the page. Here is the Noam Chomsky Oral History Interview link:

This link is to an oral history interview I had done with Noam Chomsky in 2019 and edited it and attached it to a clip from Bill Polk to emphasize the danger of nuclear war. But this is the complete interview which was overdue for release. I took some artistic license in attaching some pictures interspersed throughout for emphasis of what he was saying. Such as when he mentions My Lai, or Hiroshima. At the end of the interview at about the 58:00 minute mark, I added a photo collage covering some of the topics he had discussed, with a music score; "Bring the Boys Back Home,” to keep people looking at the “fruits of our wars.” With a brief tribute I pay to Prof. Chomsky for keeping the American people informed of what our “Boys" (and Girl’s) do when we send them out in the world with guns and bomb’s, etc., to the people they meet. And what inevitably happens to some of them.
The music score is by some obscure musician whom Republicans and their fascist allies in other countries would have silenced as he is a spokesperson for BDS and an ardent defender of “Free Speech” and “Freedom of the Press,” as with Assange. As I am, even if Conservatives here echo the people who institutionalized suppression of each of those two “Rights,” which by their Conservative “doctrine” first laid down in the U.S. post-WW II by anti-Constitutional Villains who belong in a Hall of Shame: McCarthy, Burnham, Buckley, Bozell, and of course Willmoore Kendall who led the ideological Conservative charge against the Bill of Rights, would eviserate those Rights, and flush them down the Memory Hole. As they do with the lurid militaristic history of these venerated Conservative heroes and others whom they revere, and work to conceal their uninterrupted support for U.S. Imperialism, and the war crimes which inevitably come with enforcing Imperial Control.

YouTube threw me a curve ball so that when I attempt to add a video to my original "Project for the Study of American Militarism" YouTube channel, it will only go to the new one I had to create to upload videos to. But here is the original, with Bill Polk interview videos, and others:

And here is the new one, with this Noam Chomsky interview added to Larry Wilkerson’s:
