Yeah and make sure never to read his book "Manufacturing Consent"! It's totally a psy-op and won't teach you anything! /sarcasm

[–]useless_aether[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (16 children)

but what if he wrote it as a trainig manual for the echelons of power. like a modern era machiavelli?

Isn't that what an explanation of power would do anyways?

How can you explain how power works without simultaneously creating an instruction manual for power.

Chomsky's books are available to everyone who takes the time to read them... unlike the many hidden books of power. Chomsky lays it out for all to see, as he sees it. Nothing is hidden. If it was for retaining power, it would be hidden from public view.

hidden in plain sight?

As everything is. All the big enough secrets are open secrets for those who care to look

This was my biggest surprise when getting into "conspiracy". I expected secret caches of documents from the dark web or something, but nope, the secrets were more or less "hiding" on Wikipedia.

Yup, exactly. It's all right there, more or less.

Really, how could anything that deeply affects hundreds of millions of people not leave a huge trail of evidence? You know? It's kind of the nature of the beast when you step back and think about it. It's just that most people don't care to look, or refuse to look. But that's slowly changing. The internet is undoing a lot of old bad assumptions by making truth visible, and it's slowly changing society.

so did you read them? like the manufacturing consent? its authored also by the other, less famous guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_S._Herman

he is dead, but he worked for the annenbergs at wharton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wharton_School_of_the_University_of_Pennsylvania

warning, 'conspiracy' material ahead:

look at their coat of arms: the upside down V is a templar chevron, the three dots represent isis, osiris and horus

here is one of their media fronts normalizing paedophilia:

http://www.neontommy.com/news/2013/10/pedophilia-sexual-orientation.html

the impressum at the bottom of that page says:

Neon Tommy is the online publication of the Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism

the annenbergs are also behind this site: https://www.factcheck.org/2009/12/climategate/

pushing global carbon tax agendas for the united nations and the elites/vatican behind it.

we know the catholic, or should i say jesuit, church are run by pedofiles and the annenbergs are doing their part.

they are illuminati.

Yeah I've read about 3-4 Chomsky books and they were instrumental for me toward understanding the world better, tbh.

Interesting about the rest, thanks for sharing.

look at this from the wharton school wikipedia

In general, Wharton has over 95,000 alumni in 153 countries,[4] with notable figures such as Donald Trump, Jeremy Rifkin, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Sundar Pichai, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Aditya Mittal, Steven A. Cohen, Jeff Weiner, Anil Ambani, John Sculley, Walter Annenberg, Leonard Lauder, Laurence Tisch, Michael Moritz, Ruth Porat, Kunal Bahl, and William Wrigley Jr. II. Its alumni include the CEOs of Google, LinkedIn, The Blackstone Group, CBS, General Electric, Boeing, Pfizer, Comcast, Oracle, DHL, UPS, Pepsi, Time, Inc, BlackRock, Johnson & Johnson, UBS AG, Wrigley Company, and Tesco.[17]

why do you think this crowd will employ/tenure 'academics' that will expose them.? there is no other explanation than controlled opposition.

I think they employ big thinkers because that's what the school is about. Big thinkers serve both the powerful and non-powerful who care to listen. The rich have no interest in losing their grip on power by being out of touch with reality.

[–]useless_aether[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

they can afford both thinkers and loyalty, at that level there is no reason for a compromise

So who, in your mind, is NOT a gatekeeper in this modern age?

Or does anyone with any real leadership and potential to change things get character assassinated in your world so that no one listens to them?

Chomsky has always been anti-authoritarian, and throwing him out because of his stance on one issue is not doing the world any favors imo.

[–]useless_aether[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

i can only identify those who are, based on what they say and do. everybody else is considered innocent fort he time being.

being anti-authoritarian is not enough. not a be all, end all criteria

[–]magnora7 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

being anti-authoritarian is not enough

It is for me. People can gatekeep on one issue, but that doesn't mean they're worthless in the larger picture. Otherwise you alienate those who are actually generally on your side. No one is perfect, and people will never agree on every issue. But Chomsky obviously understands the larger picture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz1nIHv6P6Q
