Noam Chomsky

I had the privilege of seeing Noam Chomsky at MIT Kresge Auditorium last night.  He spoke on a broad range of topics linking ISIS, post war imperialism, inconsistent and even perverse foreign policy and the Scottish independence referendum to a complex power struggle that the US is waging against those who would challenge its hegemony.

Chomsky incites extreme reactions in people; what cannot be denied is his exceptional ability to construct a compelling narrative linking seemingly disparate events to the underlying currents within global power systems.
