Tim Snyder said the same thing on Bill Maher's show. Said to look out for a Reichstag Fire type of event.

Seems unlikely.

Chomsky is a loon. Just a few years ago he was singing Hugo Chavez's praises.

Chomsky is basically a left wing Alex Jones with a degree... but it's in linguistics, not any of the fields he spouts off on

He's not alone in suggesting it. Snyder is a professor at Yale and saying the same thing.

Chomsky is Alex Jones only if you beat him on the head for a few hours and erased about 150 points of his IQ. The problem with Chomsky isn't that he doesn't know what he's talking about, it's that he's become more and more morally confused to the point where every evil in the world is reflexively blamed on the United States/Great Britain/Israel.

Please don't tell us you think Alex Jones is intelligent. That means we have to move you to Chasville.

hey dipshit, just remember that no matter what happened on 9/11 proper that afghanistan had roughly ~1tril of unmined lithium which would come in handy for lithium-ion batteries used in laptops, cellphones, tablets.... you know, any sort of "techological revolution" that could start around 2007.

Chomsky wrote the book on the modern media- Manufacturing Consent. It's brilliant stuff.

only reason he got famous was people thought he was one of the original Bolshevik revolutionaries.

Seriously, my biggest issue with Chomsky is that he seems to equate weakness with goodness/moral superiority which leads him down a path to absolving or at least minimizing atrocities.

I could see him arguing that the Columbine shooters were a result of high school jock culture which stems from the larger obsession with sports in American society with CFMB being a willing contributor this brutal structure. Regardless of whether there is a kernel of truth there- and I think there probably is- you've lost your moral compass when such a fact leads you to defend two goofs who shot up their school.

I'm confused.. this is the man who constantly tweets idiocy and was so disorganized and incompetent that he couldn't rally his GOP controlled congress to pass his signature legislation. Now we also think he's sophisticated and coordinated enough to pull off a massive government sponsored terrorist attack???

This is why I discount 90% of conspiracy theories involving the government right off the bat. Believing them would require that I believe our government is actually competent.

Why does Chomsky so willfully ignore that Iran is dedicated to the destruction of Israel? He puts so much stock in "world opinion". Does he not grasp that the world hates Jews, including him?

Just when did all this we need the entire world's opinion stuff happen? When the EU formed and then it was thought we should all unite? Was it Bush I's insistence on a world coalition for Kuwait? Some good things certainly can come from the world working together in spite of the corrupt UN but just stop and take care of your own backyard.

I despise BiBi. Doesn't mean I hate Jews. I think MANY (including many Jews) have similar feelings.
