About this listen

 This collection of essays examines Noam Chomsky's controversial ideas about various foreign and domestic issues and even the legitimacy of the linguistics theories on which his reputation rests. It explores the dark corners of what the New Yorker recently called "one of the greatest minds of the 20th century".©2004 Peter Collier; 2004 David Horowitz (P)2007 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Over a very long life, Chomsky has promulgated his toxic view of the world with an attention to detailed 'evidence' (regardless of how selective or twisted) that makes it difficult for all but the most historically expert, to dismiss.

However, those with a modicum of scepticism & wordly wisdom, will immediately be suspicious of someone who incessantly beats a one dimensional drum, and views all world events through a manichean prism of black & white, good & evil. Such has been Chomsky's message for ever.

Too many fall into the rabbit hole that is the Church of Chomsky. In particular, the consistent & unambiguous message is fertile fodder for young idealistic minds.

This book is an essential counter. I know that Chomsky disciples will dismiss it outright. I do not pretend that it holds the absolute truth. Few, if any, human works do. I just ask, that those sitting at the edge of the Chomsky precipice, at least consider that it may offer perspectives that are no more untrue than Chomsky's diatribes.

A fly in the Chomsky ointment
