Although I disagree with his focusing on only external empire issues, he seemed much more reasonable than most leftists, who go nuts or are totally clueless about 911 (chomsky, rothschild, david corn, amy goodman, chris hedges, tariq ali, juan cole, palast, ...)<br />His point that Chomsky has done good work regarding 'external empire' issues is certainly true, and one cannot reasonably and fairly deny it. But he has done harm to the Palestinian cause by denying the power of Israel in controlling US policy in the Mideast, and also by denying 911 and JFK. Since many look up to him, he influences their thinking in these matters. In fact, people often use Chomsky as an excuse to not pursue 911.<br />And vltcheck's point that Chomsky's work has given intellectual ammunition to those affected by empire externally is weak. They don't need chomsky to be telling them they are getting screwed, they are living it daily and know first hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253633813431459343.post-53775746614042584762013-04-19T02:51:12.200-07:002013-04-19T02:51:12.200-07:00Thank you Kevin for this very informative intervie...Thank you Kevin for this very informative interview. I agree with you totally about getting the record straight re the murders of JFK, MLK, and RFK. Chomsky imo is indeed part of the controlled opposition and a very, very important gatekeeper. I don't like him period ... there is something askew about him. I saw a youTube of him dismissing JFK's death and 911 ... the guy is bent. I won't miss his passing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185272635473742474noreply@blogger.com
