Noam Chomsky and the Manufacturing of American Dissent: 2 videos

[Paul Rigby]

Provide concrete evidence: a document, testimony, anything that proves that he is trying to influence conspiracy opinion on behalf of the CIA, the government or any other organization.

Would you like the forthcoming signed confession mailed or scanned? These shifty CIA intellectual secret policeman give them out like confetti, you know.

Time for a timely little reminder of what a ridiculous shill for the US Establishment the Gnome is.

The Fiction of Continuity

In Rethinking Camelot, Chomsky advances the bizarre claim that LBJ’s accession saw continuity, not rupture, with Kennedy’s Vietnam policies. This nonsense is a “truth” which manifestly eluded observers in late 1963, not least those writing in the pages of the New York Times. On the morning following his murder in Dallas, the NYT ran a lengthy piece entitled “Death Came as Kennedy Sought to Shape a New Foreign Policy…”(1). A month later, Defense Secretary McNamara travelled to Saigon to deliver the military junta a “message” that “in effect…eliminated the previously announced goal of withdrawing” US military advisers “by the end of 1965” (2)

One could go on, but you get the drift.
