Added: Sep 27, 2011
Author: bostonreview
Duration: 87:36
Description:
September 22, 2011 - Wong Auditorium, MIT - In 1967, as the Vietnam War escalated, Noam Chomsky penned The Responsibility of Intellectuals, a stunning rebuke to scientists and scholars for their subservience to political power. Today we face a similar array of crises, from wars to escalating debt. What are the obligations of intellectuals in this day and age? Introduction by Joshua Cohen. Ideas Matter, a joint project of Boston Review and MIT's Political Science Department, is a lecture series that brings our writers together with other experts and practitioners for substantive debate on the challenges of our times. The series, free and open to the public, will offer four events in the 2011--12 academic year. bostonreview.net/ideasmatter

Dec 3, 2011 - Well this is just one of the all too many cases on our books of Americanism. The only way that we can fight this terrible debilitating social disease, is by informing the general public of its consequences, by showing young people that it's just not worth it. So please give generously to this address: The League for fighting the United States of America, 55 Lincoln House, Basil Street, London, SW3.

Jan 20, 2012 - Noam Chomsky sold his soul years ago to the powers that be. Before I woke up 8 years ago, I used to buy his books and was a voracious reader of his material. I have since donated his books to the nationalized brainwashing libraries here in town for other brainwashed sheep to read, as I was 8 years ago. He's nothing but a corporate, establishment mouthpiece now. Because of this, you'll notice he no longer has the following he used to have. He USED to get 100's of comments. No more.
