Daniel looks very sprightly & healthy physically and mentally for a 90 year young person. He sounds light years more rational, thoughtful & sensible than those in capitol hill and the white house.
"The public doesn't want to hear," should never be an acceptable excuse for quieting the truth. We need to be informed of what we should know or be aware of, anything less is underestimating the public. Keeping the public ignorant is unacceptable, we should not be treated as infants and young children, but respected with truth.
that is the sad state of media, where instead of giving information to make public more informed, its a spectacle of what can get them most add revenue... its not about information its about adds
That's why we need independent media and journalism, so that its the facts and not some corporate biased version depending on which political party the mainstream media owners are donating money to. But this is why trump was allowed to erode the news media mainstream or otherwise, the republican party know they're not going to get too much support from most media for these anti voting laws. So the republican party were happy for trump to call them the enemy of the people, as a result 74 million intellectually backward, bigoted and white nationalist deplorables voted for trump and the republicans.

This young, brave senior man is astoundingly brave and insightful‼️ I’m unfamiliar with his career but intrigued to learn more... Thank you wise soul‼️🇺🇸🌎☎️⚖️👍🏽👍🏽
I am old enough to remember the Pentagon Papers. I served in the USCG during the Vietnam War. Also, I worked on the nuclear arms race, educated myself, and did some public education on the dangers of the nuclear arms race. And I read Nuclear Armageddon by Ellsberg. Very ominous. He is onto a serious topic, the dangers of the use of nuclear weapons. But, also important that he is 90 years of age and still so articulate, thoughtful and well studied.
He is a whistleblower exposing military crime. The UFO issue, if covered completely would wake us up to the fact that we share this planet with superior entities who insist we stop fighting.
New Zealand is still anti-nuclear. The country passed a law in the mid 1980s, banning nuclear weapons and nuclear powered vessels from its sovereign territory. The US Government was not pleased, terminated NZ involvement in the ANZUS arrangement, and put NZ trade on an 'enemy nations' list, with taxes on all imports.
Look at all the deaths due to conventional weapons? Nations fight like nukes dont exist. Imagine if China or Russia didnt have nukes to defend themselves. The US would invade them. In WWII conventional warfare killed 26 million Soviets and 20 million Chinese. The world would be safer if all nations had nukes. Would US invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, LIbya Bosnia etc if they had had nukes? Why doesnt US invade North Korea? Why is it waging war against Iran?
@@tims2501 The sad part is that Russia and China are supposed to be allies of Syria and Iran , they should give them nuclear weapons or else give them what they need and expertise on how to make them , and the means to deliver them . America will continue to bully the entire world until the day America will be utterly destroyed
@@fullupper That is the lesson of history. Sic Semper Tyrannis. Question is has history ended? Would the US take the world out via nuclear war or through unwillingness to reduce legacy system profits to stop climate change in the attempt to try to preserve it. No other dying empire except USSR had that option to consider.
@@kevincastelino3209 Back in WWI, the European countries started off with a conventional war (actually, a 19th century war with horses and lances). Then SOMEHOW, in 1915, imperial Germany thought everyone would suffer a lot less if they simply use poison gas - you see, since German victory was a foregone conclusion why prolong the pain. Guess what happened next. Expecting war chiefs to stick to conventional weapon when BOTH sides have superior weaponry is delusional.
Yeah, both countries will be absolutely annihilated if that happens. Not only that, there's a high chance of the allies of both countries going to war as well. WW3 will almost certainly decimate humanity.
Thanks for having him on and sharing his important message for the world. I also make videos straight from the streets of China and like Ellsberg I make them in hopes that they can prevent a war.

Tanveer Ahmed Tantray the RT community post comments are a cesspool of right wing misinformation and fascist gaslighting, so I try to provide the truth and give the other perspective, I see people pushing for war with China just like they did for the wars in the Middle East, I don’t want to see a new Cold War either, there is a lot of misinformation, lies, and smears in usa media that has totally brainwashed our population,

Greetings Mr. Ellsberg. In 1977-78 I worked at Sun Photo in North Beach, San Francisco with a man named Allde Chung. You would routinely drop off film for processing and return a few days later to pickup your prints. At the store, we would inspect all processed film and prints that arrived from the lab before filing each individual order alphabetically for customer pickup. Your orders often appeared like someone had gone through them before we did. I think someone was maybe spying on you even then. Thank you for continuing to step up for the good of all Americans and the world.
I came from another Daniel's channel ( comment section) to know this brave senior Daniel. Respect! UA-cam watcher's comments can be valuable information resources; it just takes some extra effort.
Mr. Hasan, please learn that when talking to elders, you have to let them finish their thought. They have unique and experienced viewpoints and they don't speak in sound bites. If I'm not mistaken, that's the whole point of having someone like Daniel Ellsberg on your program. He was very polite but I, for one, would have appreciated hearing him answer your questions without you constantly breaking in.
the reason he interrupts is that he has limited time with limited questions to ask so to cover those questions he has to interrupt because the guests usually don't pause they keep going on and on and i hate that
This is the catchphrase that right-wing governments and their media use to great extend, ' the public don't want to hear about it' , or, ' people don't care about so, and so'.

@@hansrutzigen754 there's only one country that has proven track record of using nuke against another country, had conspired to nuke a non-nuclear adversary and has repeatedly refused to adhere to no-first-use nuclear policy. Guess which country that is?
@@oceanbreeze2663 Not quite correct, The Soviets considered nuking China back in the early 60's when there was stong tension between these two counties.

Interviewers have topics to cover and limited time. Look at the clip again. Hassan interrupted once with a lengthy answer and interrupted one time to close the segment. Twice, Hassan paused at length to be sure Ellsberg was done.
Hi Mehdi, I liked the days when you moderated debates and had quick responses to controversial statements with facts. This channel gives lots of insights into geopolitical matters and i always enjoy watching the short pertinent clips.:)
By the time the truth comes out it’s almost too late to do anything about it. Even Gorbachev was willing to come to disarm it agreement over nuclear weapons. If no one has them then we’re all on the same playing field and we can kill each other in a traditional ways. God knows we have way too many already. Nuclear weapons are simply not an option. Mr. Ellsberg is one of my all-time heroes going all the way back to those days that I remember so well. We are so blessed to still have him with us.
Mehdi, you're the best. Always fair, balance and accurate right from the horses mouth. Some people at your channel are very partisan and biased towards certain countries. Shocking news ...and those bad actors wanting to go extreme for cases that has no security threats to them. The intended actions if carried out will destroyed the Chinese people in most cruelty act.
The film The Day after was released in the early eighties and I think helped illustrate the true dangers of nuclear war. unfortunately, if Americans can't watch it on TV they can't understand it. However it does show the power of this medium and it's important in illustrating what real war between super powers would look like. this is the reboot we actually need!
I thought it interesting that there was overwhelming bipartisan support for the Anti-Asian hate bill, while both sides of the aisle continue to bemoans the fact that China has outpaced US economic growth. Many of the lawmakers are the same ones that voted to give tax incentives to manufacturers to move their operations outside the US. They wanted slave wage laborers. Little did they suspect that China would suppress it's currency exchange rate. That meant the low US paid wages, translated into livable wages in China. Now China produces more millionaires annually then the US. The powers that tried to low ball American workers is now resentful about China's economic growth. Whenever the US speaks disparaging about China, it comes off like racist, anti-Asian hate. This is weirdly suspicious since the 118 attacks on Asian Americans is significantly smaller than the 1100 anti-Black hate crimes that occurred in 2020. I suspect the US is no more concerned about anti-Asian hate, then they are concerned about anti-black hate. I think the entire bi-partisan support for protecting American Asian, is a facade; a pretentious act to cover their movements and strategies against China's economy.
We keep making the Fatal mistake of thinking we can keep waging Wars on distant shores then go home to cocktails & dinner. North Korea emphatically stated that they will bring whatever War US initiated right into US, a strategy no one else ventured since WWII. Days of US waging war on distant shores to sow chaos as if a Video Game then going home when it gets rough are gone & quicker our War-Mongers realise that, the better.
I miss watching mehdi on upfront. I hope he covers more stories like this. Not just sticking to democrats v republican which is soo boring unless there's major events like protests or elections going on
Didn't a Chinese general say something like "It's not a question of 'if' we go to war with America..." Sadly, sounds like something any smart general would say, i guess you should always make your enemy think you're thinking about it, even if you aren't. But it sure would be cool if we all got along! Yea?! Seems like a waste of radioactive material if you ask me. How many homes could we heat during the winter with all those weapons?
Chinese people are resilient, hardworking and perennial. They have existed for thousands of years and they will continue to survive. There are 1.4 billion of them in mainland China and 46 million across the world.
This may seem like a minor detail but the following is important to understand if we are to avoid WW3. Taiwan became a Japanese colony in 1895 as a result of China losing to Japan during the "first Sino-Japanese War". The Republic of China (ROC) was formed in 1912 under the control of the Nationalist Party - Kuomintang (KMT) with Sun Yat-Sen as its leader. After Sun's death in 1925, Chiang Kai-shek became the leader of the KMT. Over time, a civil war broke out between the KMT and the communist party of China (CPC) with the latter emerging as the victor in 1949 and the KMT retreating onto the island of Taiwan (which was returned to ROC from Japan after the end of WW2 in 1945) where it continued to claim as the legitimate ruler or government of entire China as ROC. It should be with this understanding that we approach the China / Taiwan situation and why foreign interference can trigger WW3.
Newly founded Republic of China in Taiwan? Taiwan still uses RoC years, so it's nothing newly founded in 50s. That's the losing side of the Chinese Civil War. RoC was still representing China in the U.N. at the time as well as flying SR-71 and sending infiltration forces into mainland.
Just Sanction China for 8 years and 8 months, because #8, 88, or best is 888 means fortune to Chinese, thus, to punish China just say you are removing 88 companies from China for 888 days.
Chinese language is very different then English. Lost in translation happened but should be life causing. Interfere with their internal affair is like your neighbour Chinese Tiger Mom makes her children do their home works and practice piano and violin. They resent and cry, some one from the neighbourhood went into their house and kill their tiger mother and replace them a pretty playful Mom. What do you think? Good ?

The film The Day after was released in the early eighties and I think helped illustrate the true dangers of nuclear war. unfortunately, if Americans can't watch it on TV they can't understand it. However it does show the power of this medium and it's important in illustrating what real war between super powers would look like. this is the reboot we actually need!
Hey Dan. I’m glad to see your latest bout of Bell’s Palsy seems to have passed quickly.
Many thanks
What the point of nuclear weapons if we don't get to use them 🤔😁🤣
There is no point.
He's calm and rational...what a wise man 👍
A true patriot. Thank you Mr Ellsberg.
We need a million more like this man, what a hero, ready at his age to fight for our freedom! We should be ashamed of ourselves
Top show! God bless! Peace!!!
I thought it interesting that there was overwhelming bipartisan support for the Anti-Asian hate bill, while both sides of the aisle continue to bemoans the fact that China has outpaced US economic growth. Many of the lawmakers are the same ones that voted to give tax incentives to manufacturers to move their operations outside the US. They wanted slave wage laborers. Little did they suspect that China would suppress it's currency exchange rate. That meant the low US paid wages, translated into livable wages in China. Now China produces more millionaires annually then the US. The powers that tried to low ball American workers is now resentful about China's economic growth. Whenever the US speaks disparaging about China, it comes off like racist, anti-Asian hate. This is weirdly suspicious since the 118 attacks on Asian Americans is significantly smaller than the 1100 anti-Black hate crimes that occurred in 2020. I suspect the US is no more concerned about anti-Asian hate, then they are concerned about anti-black hate. I think the entire bi-partisan support for protecting American Asian, is a facade; a pretentious act to cover their movements and strategies against China's economy.
US is built on racism
Medhi kindly give a balance news. Your interview appears to support certain group.
"Your interview appears to support certain group." Yeah, sane people. The group I belong to.
The fact that he's having this interview with a whistleblower itself is a balanced news and interview.
Give us medicare for all before we are worried about third world countries, we are not the police enforcemer of the world,
Daniel's looks in great health in his 90th. Wish him well in his retirement age!
What an insane World this is.
I think I'm already too old to be worried for this but I think it is what would be left behind.
Eisenhower was also against nuking H&N.
What's the point of having then if we not going to use then
We keep making the Fatal mistake of thinking we can keep waging Wars on distant shores then go home to cocktails & dinner. North Korea emphatically stated that they will bring whatever War US initiated right into US, a strategy no one else ventured since WWII. Days of US waging war on distant shores to sow chaos as if a Video Game then going home when it gets rough are gone & quicker our War-Mongers realise that, the better.
...my father was a Lt.Cmdr...on an aircraft carrier in the South China Sea in the late...'50's...
I miss watching mehdi on upfront. I hope he covers more stories like this. Not just sticking to democrats v republican which is soo boring unless there's major events like protests or elections going on
Douglas MacArthur with his Korean war strategies toward China?
Stop interrupting him!
Long live Daniel Ellsberg
US also contemplated dropping nuclear bomb on North Korea and even Vietnam.
Didn't a Chinese general say something like
"It's not a question of 'if' we go to war with America..."
Sadly, sounds like something any smart general would say, i guess you should always make your enemy think you're thinking about it, even if you aren't.
But it sure would be cool if we all got along! Yea?!
Seems like a waste of radioactive material if you ask me.
How many homes could we heat during the winter with all those weapons?
Chinese people are resilient, hardworking and perennial. They have existed for thousands of years and they will continue to survive. There are 1.4 billion of them in mainland China and 46 million across the world.
Who still has questions about the real threat to the world?
It will be! For it is written! 🧐
No wonder China are stepping up their nuclear deterrent recently, it's does make the americans safer. 😁
Russia is helping
he could be David Attenborough's brother
Hi. Thank you nice and very much. I think they don’t know we are living in different world
Only Donald Sutherland sounds more like Donald Sutherland.
This may seem like a minor detail but the following is important to understand if we are to avoid WW3. Taiwan became a Japanese colony in 1895 as a result of China losing to Japan during the "first Sino-Japanese War". The Republic of China (ROC) was formed in 1912 under the control of the Nationalist Party - Kuomintang (KMT) with Sun Yat-Sen as its leader. After Sun's death in 1925, Chiang Kai-shek became the leader of the KMT. Over time, a civil war broke out between the KMT and the communist party of China (CPC) with the latter emerging as the victor in 1949 and the KMT retreating onto the island of Taiwan (which was returned to ROC from Japan after the end of WW2 in 1945) where it continued to claim as the legitimate ruler or government of entire China as ROC. It should be with this understanding that we approach the China / Taiwan situation and why foreign interference can trigger WW3.
Mehdi Hasan is now world's top TV Journalist.
Wise man.
Was 1945 an extreme case? Never
All nations with nuclear weapons have plans on how their nuclear weapons might be used. It goes with the territory.
Get this man on Bad Faith with Chelsea Manning
🤣😂 we were forced to learn European ways and language..... now you might have to learn Chinese
US：功夫小子，想当年我差点削死你。
What scare me is not the bombs, is how stupid human can be.
Newly founded Republic of China in Taiwan? Taiwan still uses RoC years, so it's nothing newly founded in 50s. That's the losing side of the Chinese Civil War. RoC was still representing China in the U.N. at the time as well as flying SR-71 and sending infiltration forces into mainland.
Just Sanction China for 8 years and 8 months, because #8, 88, or best is 888 means fortune to Chinese, thus, to punish China just say you are removing 88 companies from China for 888 days.
HORRIBLE INTRO! Instant turn off. Can we turn the drama down about seven notches?
It was quite attention grabbing to me.
Chinese language is very different then English. Lost in translation happened but should be life causing. Interfere with their internal affair is like your neighbour Chinese Tiger Mom makes her children do their home works and practice piano and violin. They resent and cry, some one from the neighbourhood went into their house and kill their tiger mother and replace them a pretty playful Mom. What do you think? Good ?
Korea also was on the nuke list.
Anybody who can should read Doomsday machine by Daniel. It is remarkable and terrifying.
The only thing I'm interested and want to know is about Area 51. do we have an extraterrestrial beings in there?
I still can’t get over this bullshit. 😂😂😂
✨🌎 Let our New Age stand for the Frail🐳~ Don’t Nuke ☢️the 🐋 Whales 🐳

Free Assange already

China does NOT have a problem with Islam. It has a problem with POLITICAL DISSENT.
There is no genocide in China, you are being brainwashed by CIA funded anti China propaganda, just like Iraq war wmd lie
Mind Begs the Question:
