I am not familiar with Chomsky's detailed view of JFK and 9/11. I would guess that he would agree that the post event was a insider created narrative used to advance the agenda of the empire... something that is a predictable behavior of power... to get more and consolidate what they already have. The cover ups are as treasonous as the crime itself and usually involve more death and destruction and oppression. My sense is that Chomsky's position is the empire's over arching agenda is far more important that a single event. He perhaps doesn't want to focus on any particular catalyzing event for the next step in the advancement of the empire, but in the completely wrongheaded notion of a top down empire which constantly engages in criminal behavior and genocide.
I am not clear of where others stand on the notion of blow back... that being that the empire's actions have consequences one of which is resistance, blow back, and manifest as terrorism. The resistance to the empire is increasingly fragmented and forced underground. Movements such as labor are destroyed in plain sight. Anti war movements are simply ignored, regardless of how many protest the militarism of the empire.
There appears to be only two overarching approaches to resisting the empire.. peaceful and legal... and violet, subversive and illegal. If one advocates violet, subversive and illegal... which amounts to a call for revolution and overthrow of the status quo... one is more than marginalized... they are silenced, demonized and often killed. Real threats to to the powers that be are not tolerated.
This has completely neutered to left to what amounts to harmless critiques and robbed them of the mechanism to reach people and grow movements for change. All manner of false alternatives in a bogus two party system are presented both of which embrace the agenda of the empire... and all the myths of its narrative.
In order to raise consciousness about what has gone down and what is happening currently it is mission critical to any change or revolution to reach people and inform them. When the information is controlled... when the narrative is passed off as truth the people cannot know what is going down. Orwell's quote:
I think many of the so called gatekeeper journalists, political analysts and writers are facing a Hobson's choice. If they dig too deep peeling away the false narrative they are silenced, marginalized and even killed perhaps.... of they play it safe they life to write and speak but cannot reveal the entire truth that their research has revealed. Paperclip was apparently kept under the radar for 4 decades until well after the damage of the operation was done, the fascists were well in place in governments, industries and military organizations around world.
The media we have today is completely engaged in what amounts to chatting nonsense about tweedle dee and tweedle dum... a complete distraction. The www has provided the opportunity for the message of what's going down to reach millions if not billions. At the same time the TPTB are stepping up their surveillance and tactics to cut dissent. There have been several who have been turned into examples of what happens when you step outside the norm... from people such as John Walker Lind... Lynn Stewart... to Bradley Manning, Julian Asaunge, Barrett Brown, Aaron Swartz...and others.
Is being a gate keeper making a faustian bargain which the status quo... I get to peck at around the sides...leaving the core crimes of the beast unchallenged in exchange for being permitted to make general boiler plate complaints? I don't know the answer here. I do believe that compelling evidence is hard to deny.
The JFK story seems to be well supported with evidence. The 9/11 not so... at least the role of the insiders (whatever that actually means) is not clear beyond perhaps facilitating the so called terrorist attacks. We've been denied hard evidence and so speculation has arisen. This is particularly true with respect to the so called controlled demolition of the towers. Even a very strong CD advocate Tony Szamboti who has published on the 9/11 subject wrote recently:
The empire's response to 9/11 can hardly be disputed... a stalling of the technical investigation... a shoddy report coming well after the new American century policies were put in place. The are many parallels to between the behavior of the empire in the JFK assassination response and the the response to 9/11. I doubt that even the so called gate keepers would deny this.

"Nobody here is arguing against the reality that once the collapse progresses a significant number of stories that it would be self-propagating.
The real issue is the first several stories of the collapse. The rapid onset and acceleration through the first several stories (with no saw tooth like deceleration observed when floor levels should have been impacting) is not indicative of a natural collapse."
His understanding about the collapse initiation being a CD is however not based on any hard evidence... more on a theoretical model derived from observation/measurements which have been disputed by many. His claim is that the CD took place in the core, but there is no reliable data about what happened in the core. And so his conclusion about initiation is speculation and he concedes that the collapse after imitation was a natural process.The real issue is the first several stories of the collapse. The rapid onset and acceleration through the first several stories (with no saw tooth like deceleration observed when floor levels should have been impacting) is not indicative of a natural collapse."
