Seattle Keith says: Very good article. I am impressed by how prolific and fast you are in writing articles. I am going to do an article on Chomsky for my blogspot, however, it will likely take me several days to complete. Frankly, I am pissed at Chomsky for basically switching sides to provide de facto propaganda for the pro-vax juggernaut which, among other things, to achieve its vaccine objectives has actively suppressed safe, highly effective and inexpensive outpatient therapy by qualified doctors using off-label, approved for humans drugs such as Ivermectin. Large scale clinical data suggests up to 85% effectiveness in reducing ICU hospitalization and death from COVID-19. Literally, hundreds of thousands of people have needlessly died (been murdered?) so that these mRNA gene therapies mislabeled "vaccines" could be promoted and now mandated. "Vaccines", I might add, which so far have far greater adverse reactions, including death, than all other vaccines combined for the last 20 years. And now Chomsky has the audacity to demonize the unvaccinated are a threat to the community? Chomsky has chosen to de facto support the global restructuring now under way and now has blood on his hands. "Pathetic display" is a much too mild a description.

I gradually drifted away from his writing somewhere in the late nineties. His stuff in the early 2000s started to decline badly and I stopped seeking it altogether. He showed flashes, but I found his lesser evilism, for example, unconvincing and clearly counterproductive. I think Ed Herman's death ruined what was left of a once fine intellect. It's a shame, because that fine intellect did help so many people.

Excellent essay!!! Thank you. I also drifted from NC over the years. What an eye-opening time! One of my greatest thematic lessons in the past 6 years has been to recognize the deep, unacknowledged shadow in many of my former "teachers" (in various arenas), and to honor the "teacher within" a whole lot more (while keeping a sharp eye on my own shadow)! People can have great information and can go seriously off the rails; both are important to note. Thanks for sharing this important lesson.

Chomsky should have stayed with linguistics.
