Why is it so surprising someone like Chomsky as well as others could narrate the inordinate horrors committed by an Empire in great detail and still be "gatekeepers." If fact, they'd need to be proficient and convincing to be successful at their job.
I wrote another comment about Chomsky's despicable behavior on this same blog. As it turns, out the “gatekeeper” was manufacturing consent for the toxic jabs.
NEVERMORE MEDIA--this is the comment: During the scamdemic, the magnificent Leftist from MIT implied the unvaxxed should starve. Meaning they should die. Speaking on YouTube’s "Primo Radical," Chomsky said that for the unvaccinated people who are segregated from society, how they obtain groceries should be left up to them. “How can we get food to them?” asked Chomsky. “Well, that’s actually their problem.” This is how the national security state "rolls," they deploy iconic figures to demonize all those who reject BS official narratives. Positions, which ironically in the past were ideological views once favored by progressives skeptical of big pharma. The security state uses someone like the "Orange Fart Coin" to promote Warpspeed and the "quick release" of all experimental toxic jabs. After that's done, they install demented "Mr. Creepy" who mandates them so that liberals look at poison injections as their savior. The power of language used for propaganda messages actually pays homage to Chomky's career, as he himself penned a bestseller about "Manufacturing Consent."
Haha! Well..........we're all different, aren't we? To my view, Assange is a CIA asset. Weird cultish upbringing with occulted links and shades of MK Ultra:
Chomsky has a very nasty streak that was evident in both his interview by Andrew Marr and his total disregard for those who would not take the jab (as he probably did not).
Hmm changed my mind again. Just watched it again and I don’t think there’s a single thing that i can disagree with Chomsky on in that interview. Not sure why he’s gone bad (ie. comments on unvaccinated) but maybe the establishment changed to his own?
The first chink in the armor, for me, was his comment about JFK, who gives a shit, and his air apparent Chris Hedges was asked a direct question on Useful Ideots: "What about forced injections", and dodged the question with; Tangential, both of them bottom of the ocean alone with Howard Stern
What he actually said was JFK is just another guy, who cares, and in the next breath go on to praise Fred Hampton because nobody knows who Fred Hampton is. Listen to the cracking interview with Mark Crispin Miller on Unlimited Hanging wher he details this exact point.
Wow, pretty good expose, you mist the bit in which he was actually advocating for bombing Venezuela.I Don’t think I have the video clip but I am quite sure you can still find it online.
I have been involved with the Palestinian cause for decades and despite the good things my friends were telling me about him, I never liked him, something slimy and stinking about the old fart.
When I then saw he actually was telling that Venezuela should have been bombed and invaded like Iraq, I could finally see thru the horror he is.
Long story, I actually started some 30 year ago or more and actually at that time, helping israelis escape from the israeli army and in the end, israel itself.
During the years, Dozens of them.
Then in 2006 I met an humanitarian worker which in 2007 together with activists which included old ambassadors and laureates broke the Gaza siege with a small boat.
Since then he stayed in Gaza and I started helping him moderating his website and channels.
This till 2011 year in which, after numerous threats and finally a warning that decision had been made to kill him after a few days he was killed in Gaza.
Since the start of the Genocide I decided it was time to get involved again and spread info about the situation in Gaza, so I started scribbling articles in my modest English and help how I can by divulging informations and hopefully guidance to those lost in the matrix.
Would you reconsider letting us repost something? I've been wanting to post more on that subject... Sometimes I feel slightly guilty for paying more attention... or for writing humourous pieces when there are more important things I could be writing about.
Humour is vital - it can save people’s sanity in these times of complete and utter deceit, gaslighting and literal horror. It is a brilliant tool for releasing fear so please don’t give up on humour…
Apropos of nothing, what do you think of Ken O' Keefe, who seems to be making a resurgence on Youtube? While he's bringing attention to Gaza, he did rip off a lot of people his "Citizen's Charter". Prior to this I had heard bad things about him from other activists.
My entire collection of Chomsky books went in the trash after hearing his stance on convid. I felt soul crushingly betrayed. Now I am of the mind 'good riddance to bad rubbish'.
It's almost embarrassing having held such lofty authorities as gospel.. either my sense of judgement is shot or reality is mental.. like many of the commenters I'm a long time dissapointed..xj
Look up narcissism, gaslighting, duper’s delight - these people are masters at deception, it is the motto of Mossad’s: ‘Triumph through Deception’ or words to that effect. Chomsky must have been paid a lot of money to ‘encourage’ his deceit. ‘Snakes in Suits’ and ‘How he Gets into Her Head’ by Don Henderson, brilliant books at understanding the mentality of such people and how they operate but also how to identify them. These books are primarily designed for those in personal relationships but also include family and work relationships which covers people in the political and public realm too. The insight that Don Hennessy’s book gives, might help in understanding the depths of deception which are used by such people who are the wolf masquerading as the lamb - but also in order to get a much better understanding of how to recognize it so it won’t be a shock when those we admire, turn out to have feet of clay. Such people can cause great harm to one’s foundational beliefs to the point thst one loses trust in one’s mental abilities which is also one of the strategies used by such malevolent people, which is to destabilize one’s inherent belief in oneself., therefore making such a person more malleable in order to control them. The psychological tactic of Chomsky is called ‘bait and switch’. This is all deliberate, part of their psychological warfare on people. It was through reading these books and others too, in the years leading up to the scamdemic that began in 2020, that I recognized instantly by looking at the faces of these public figures - that what they were saying was pure and utter baloney. The malevolence of Zionists runs deeper than anyone can imagine - they hate humanity and do not possess an iota of compassion. I saw Chomsky on YouTube some time ago - what he was saying was obnoxious - that the un vaccinated should be locked up - the look on his face was repulsive. Another one is Sam Vankin a so called expert on narcissism - he was ordering people to get the jab, discrediting and being highly derogatory towards people who refused to take it. They get off on cruel deception on every level.
Yeah... I get what you're saying... Chomsky is a weird one... I'll fully admit he had me fooled. I was willing to give him a pass on 9/11 for some reason...
It wasn't until I learned about his role as the Grand Poobah Gatekeeper of American Linguistics that I understood what his role is.
He was installed as the King of Linguistics by the establishment in order to serve a purpose... it was not on the merit of his ideas, which are entirely banal.
Chomsky showed his true Jew colours during the scamdemic which you mention Jeanne. Not only did the great "liberal" guru himself want the refusniks locked up, he wanted them starved to death. What gets me is how the retarded dopes who pander to him can't see through his fake narrative and diversionary techniques he always uses just as he did in the slander of the 9/11 Architects and Engineers excellent work in the video. They all applauded like clapping seals and again when the MC said there would be no more questions on that subject. WTF! Talk about closed minds and cognitive dissonance. Don't send your kids to Florida University for God's sake. Chomsky's answer was a total lie and obfuscation as the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 tried to present all their research to the institutions he referred to but the slimy bought and paid for academics wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. Richard Gage had to take his scientific information from their investigation to Dr. Leroy Hulsey & his Phd students at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to get it validated as the cowards at MIT et al didn't have the guts to take it on. Chomsky knows damn well that 9/11 was a Mossad operation with Satanyahu, Ehud Barak, Nicholas Rockefeller, Rothschild and various other Jew oligarchs up to their dirty necks in it. Hence the reason that they had to capture the US government at all costs because they knew that when the American people woke up to the fact that the Jews along with US traitors did it, they would wipe Israel off the face of the map and hang the traitors involved. I saw through the charlatan Chomsky many years ago but I don't think anyone ever agreed with me when I called him out, which shows the extent of the indoctrination and mind control the Zio-media has on the sheeple, many of whom are academics. Unfortunately, they are the easiest to control as they instinctively believe in the system and can't think for themselves.
Yeah it's upsetting to remember the 9/11 era and how taboo 9/11 truth was for ten years or so... It was a similar thing to the Holocaust... people who denied the official story were treated as if they were accomplices in the crime... or maybe were spitting in the faces of widows or something.
But eventually that taboo dwindled away and now it's something that mainstream comedians can joke about. That's how it will go with COVID denial too...
Catalpa, this is brilliant and brilliant information. I only copped onto Chomsky’s deceit last year when I saw the video of him slouched over a chair as he described in detail what should be done to those who refused the jabs. His face transformed into that of a living gargoyle - it was terrifying but still I was seeing people saying how great he was..there is so much more for me to learn - also re 9/11 - who could conceive of such evil when the truth is presented to them in detailed, stark facts. It represented the entire crumbling of the mask that is the US Gov, with the depths of malevolence beyond any normal human’s scope of understanding - but it was all true. I will be checking out those great architects and the other people you mentioned. Thank you Catalpa - your instincts were well ahead of the curve - instincts are being bred out of people through indoctrination and mind control. Anyhow thanks again for sending such great info, the kind of info that every adult needs to know who has even a half functioning brain, to wake up
Ah, written just for me! I figured out in the first term of my first linguistics degree that old Noam was a bit off, to say the least. My anarcho-syndicalist then-boyfriend was totally taken in though, but then he WAS a psychologist... 'nuff said. I mean, you don't get that high up in MIT unless you are one of the boys, do you?
Oh! No way! You have a linguistics degree? Or more than one? How was Universal Grammar taught to you? I'm working on a piece about it... and I'm sure that I'll be accused of "not getting it".
Dan Everett said: "Any criticism of Chomsky’s work is almost always greeted by the refrain that “This person doesn’t understand Chomsky”
My argument is: There's nothing to get! It's a bunch of bullplop!
Imagine I came up with a theory called "Universal Card Game Theory" that argued that the rules of every card game were actually variations on "Universal Card Game Rules", but couldn't describe what those universal card game rules were.
How long would you listen to me ramble on before you lost interest? 5 minutes? 10?
In the case of UG, it's taken 50 years, and some people still won't give up the ghost.
Thomas Kuhn was right: Science advances one funeral at a time.
It was all trees, and yes, it was bollocks. We weren't even allowed to look at anything by Chomsky for the first two years. My son did a Linguistics degree too, at York, and he WAS allowed to read Chomsky, so I guess the world needed time to be made to understand how their consent to being told how far it was permissible to think was being manufactured. (Ouch, try analysing that sentence in tree diagrams!)
We had to use a manuscript of Prof Burton-Roberts' book-in-progress 'Analysing Sentences' for a diluted Generative Grammar. I mean, the diagrams were fun, and the idea of surface representation and underlying structure was as mind-opening to me as Comyns Beaumont's work on catastrophism and the faking of history and geography to keep the rotting Roman empire alive, which I read later. I then went on to reprint all his books, and publish his final long-hidden work, The Great. Deception. (Finding that was a fabulous adventure involving Scottish Templars and such.) Sorry - I can't resist bringing CB into any and every discussion, so feel free to tell me to shut up...
Back to Linguistics - the LAD device allegedly in everyone's brain puzzles me yet, considering the vastly differing linguistic structures in human languages... but I really did enjoy the tree diagrams, and the US/SR business showed me how to think about absolutely everything so it was worth it in the end, but mostly I think you are right about the bollocks... though it must be serving some greater purpose than keeping him at MIT for so many decades, polishing their Overton Window.
(That psychologist boyfriend once took out Chomsky's 'On Government and Binding' but was disappointed to find it had little to do with Anarchism so returned it
Grrrr nooo say it isn’t true ! I’m crushed. I’ve spent so much of my life reading Chomsky and watching his lectures. I gotta go take an aspirin the cognitive dissonance is hurting my head !
Yeah, it's brutal, isn't it? We've been living in such a choreographed "Official Reality" for so long... Chomsky's role was the Sage/Oracle... but he was playing his role within a larger Spectacle.
Wow!
Why is it so surprising someone like Chomsky as well as others could narrate the inordinate horrors committed by an Empire in great detail and still be "gatekeepers." If fact, they'd need to be proficient and convincing to be successful at their job.
🤔
Gatekeeper is the word... Chomsky is to linguistics what Richard Dawkins is to biology and what Jared Diamond is to anthropology...
And what do you know? They're all committed Darwinists.
I wrote another comment about Chomsky's despicable behavior on this same blog. As it turns, out the “gatekeeper” was manufacturing consent for the toxic jabs.
which blog?

Another hero gone.
Just promise me you won’t do Brian Cant
(UK reference)
Haha, don't worry... I don't even know who Brian Cant is!
but speaking of the UK, I think John Pilger died with pretty impeccable credentials....
(watch someone pop out of nowhere like Snoop Dogg in Half Baked)...
Brian Cant, children's tv presenter from when my eldest was tiny.
Ah okay... so Tim is worried that his childhood hero might be a chomo/propagandist too?
I think I get it now...
Pilger was Australian
oh... well I guess all Brits are scumbags, then.
Joking! Paul Cudenec is British (or should I say English?).
And a cunt shill.
Pilger was a limited hangout as well...a julian Assange booster.
Pilger was an Assange-ite, which besmirches his record somewhat.
What? You don't think Assange was the victim of political persecution?
I'm definitely an Assange sympathizer... Does that make me an Assange-ite?
Haha! Well..........we're all different, aren't we? To my view, Assange is a CIA asset. Weird cultish upbringing with occulted links and shades of MK Ultra:
https://rumble.com/v59up0s-programmed-to-killsatanic-cover-up-part-49-is-julian-assange-an-disinformat.html
He NEVER criticises Israel and was instrumental in getting Trump elected in 2016. Don't worry, you're an Assange-ite until you're not.......
That whole Embassy business was pure theatre.
If he's on TV, he's one of them.
BINGO!
No..it makes you credulous...
www,drjudywood.com
Yes Assange belongs to the same cohort as Chomsky.
In receipt of widespread media attention/ disinterested in the truth about 911.
Should be a Bidenite in your view? What a shithead
I never warmed up to Chomsky, especially on his 9/11 comments...Kman, DIGILEAK
Yes, one of the giveaways is continually professing the "blowback" bullshit and dismissing the notion that it could be an inside job.
www.drjudywood.com
I concur Charlotte. Ken, Digileak
Chomsky has a very nasty streak that was evident in both his interview by Andrew Marr and his total disregard for those who would not take the jab (as he probably did not).

If you keep your eye open for future pieces I hope to convince my readers that he was controlled opp since the beginning of his career.
Hard to believe, I know, but stay tuned.
Easy to believe when you consider he is of the twelve tribes.
The first chink in the armor, for me, was his comment about JFK, who gives a shit, and his air apparent Chris Hedges was asked a direct question on Useful Ideots: "What about forced injections", and dodged the question with; Tangential, both of them bottom of the ocean alone with Howard Stern
Hmm I don't know about his comment about JFK... I looked it up but I'm not sure what I found is what you're referring to.

Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much. Might I ask what your Palestinian activism has consisted of? I've been wanting to publish more on that subject.

who is Ken O'Keefe? Could you link to a video that will give me an idea what his deal is?
This from 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY3vSEVNehU
Don’t like him hider, I also don’t have much if any respect left for people still using and clicking on you tu be and any Go ogle platforms.
Nevertheless in the case of Gaza, any attentions to what is happening is a good thing.
Sorry for ‘butting in’ but could you recommend alternatives to Goo gle, thanks
Well , I keep an eye on O’Keefe. He’s led a lot of people up the garden path. He’s a grifter as far as I’m concerned.
Watching Chomsky in his dotage, turn into the picture of Dorian Grey, is satisfying somehow.
My entire collection of Chomsky books went in the trash after hearing his stance on convid. I felt soul crushingly betrayed. Now I am of the mind 'good riddance to bad rubbish'.

pronto :-D)
He fails the 9/11 litmus test, too. Refuses to countenance anything but the official version of events.
I like the 9/11 test. Quick test for whether someone's a legit dissident:
1. Did they accept the 9/11 story hook, line, and sinker?
2. Did they support the War on Terror?
3. Did they accept the COVID story hook, line, and sinker?
If someone scores three yeses, they're not worth listening to. They're either a moron or compromised.
Absolutely. I hadn't read your article when I commented here. You mention his views on 9/11.
Knew about Chomsky's silence about 9/11, so not surprising about the rest.
Grrrr nooo say it isn’t true ! I’m crushed. I’ve spent so much of my life reading Chomsky and watching his lectures. I gotta go take an aspirin the cognitive dissonance is hurting my head !
Yeah, it's brutal, isn't it? We've been living in such a choreographed "Official Reality" for so long... Chomsky's role was the Sage/Oracle... but he was playing his role within a larger Spectacle.
Check out this video, maybe this will help your process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-rxe9Ayb8c
I’ve boarded the train, let’s go!
Thanks! Any aspect of the Chomsky story you're particularly interested in?
To think that he wrote me a letter to decline my invitation to a solo art show where I felt defeated now seems like a badge of honor.
I was never impressed with him. He came across as a self important phony.
He constantly makes arguments from authority, that's for sure. Trust the experts!
