Given Chomsky's righteous indignation at the practice of lying for political
purposes (other than in the case of Nazis, who are merely persecuted
"apolitical liberals"), I had expected him to wax indignant today on the
systematic and proven lying of Rigoberta Menchu.

What do you know? He appears to be totally silent on the matter. Hardly
surprising, given his own record of fabricating source material to further
his totalitarian political postures.

Mr. Kamm, I would greatly appreciate it if you would cite sources or instances
or examples in which Chomsky fabricated source material. I've missed it so
far.

Thanks,

Indeed; his sympathies for Nazi "Holocaust deniers" and for the Khmer Rouge
are a matter of record. Or do you, like him, believe that these causes are
unfairly maligned by the Jew-controlled media?

With great pleasure.

"Noam Chomsky in American Power and the New Mandarins (1969) twice claimed
that Truman had said: 'All freedom is dependent on freedom of enterprise....
The whole world should adopt the American system....' Truman said nothing of
the sort, at Baylor [where Chomsky claims he said it] or anywhere else. The
quotation is fabricated," (Arthur Schlesinger Jnr, The Cycles of American
History, 1986, page 135-6).

Glad to be of service to you.

New subscribers might not be aware that Mr Graeber is an overt
ultra-Rigtist. In his view, a Nazi is actually a bit of a liberal, which
tells you something about where he stands on the political spectrum.

George Orwell nicely summarised this type of callow anti-Semite and
pro-Nazi: "money-sheltered ignorance".

would you like to clue us in Mr. Kamm? how about providing some references
and/or documentation on this "record of fabricating source material?"
exactly what totalitarian political postures are you referring to?
i await your response.

With pleasure - or at least with a sense of civic obligation.

"Noam Chomsky in American Power and the New Mandarins (1969) twice claimed
that Truman had said: 'All freedom is dependent on freedom of enterprise....
The whole world should adopt the American system....' Truman said nothing of
the sort, at Baylor [where Chomsky claims he said it] or anywhere else. The
quotation is fabricated," (Arthur Schlesinger Jnr, The Cycles of American
History, 1986, page 135-6).

The totalitarian causes that Chomsky promotes are, inter alia, Nazi
Holocaust deniers and the Khmer Rouge. His own philosophy - witness his
belief in restricting workers' freedom of movement - is itself totalitarian.

Note for record: Chomsky groupies seem to have fallen unaccountably silent
when presented with chapter and verse of Chomsky's fabrications. What
happened to a fearless commitment to truth, eh?

I think we should be told!
