GO THERE OR YOU WILL NOT BE A GOOD MCLEFTIST.
Which only reminds us just how much any REAL left would be going there, and how most of the key propaganda was aimed at the left from day 1.
Guru Noam really outdoes himself here. This reminds us to ALWAYS CONTEST THIS CRAP, because it has much greater, spectrum wide, implications. The 50th in the media was a grinding to dust any counternarrative opperation. Not that the truth isn't in the counternarrative but the media's #1 objective was to so splinter and divide that counter-narrative by dividing it into so many fine particles of dust. That was the force-field 50th MSM goal #1. And the most important part of that was divorcing the assassination from its CLEARLY LEFTWARD policy implications. That defense, aimed at the left, is telling us lots.

If Noam Chomsky is considered to be one of the greatest intellectuals of the 21st century then fuck...the human species are doomed. He reminds me of an old pensioner who is bored of everything. He also fits the part of the old man in the Muppet show. If Plato, Socrates and Aristotle were alive today, Noam would have been polishing their sandals. Are there any people outhere still listening to him?

Selectively. When he is good he is very very good. But this is just crap. Not every one is good at every thing. The same way some architects and JFK researchers should just stick to that and not go off the reservation.

Not only are Noam's comments bizarre, but the headline is odd too. What an odd view of the world. Frustrating

"There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them." - George Orwell
I think Chomsky decided back in the Sixties that LBJ was just continuing Kennedy's policies, and that was the end of it. Don't bother me with learning new facts, don't ask me to reevaluate anything.

Ha! Yes, nice quote.
It sure does seem like that re Chomsky and JFK.

Somebody should interview Chomsky and ask him why he's ignoring DiEugenio's history of Kennedy.

I exaggerated to make a point. You could say that i was disrespectful to Chomsky, but when an intellectual who influences the minds of millions tries to deceive us and insults our intelligence, he deserves nothing less.
