"Livin' la Vida Loca"
This is a rare and unique article by the great Chris Hedges about the very great Noam Chomsky. Outstanding
Noam Chomsky is America’s greatest intellectual,
- written nearly 100 books,
- has for decades deflated and exposed the lies of the power elite and the myths they perpetrate
- blacklisted by the commercial media
- a pariah by the academy

Chomsky is hated, and perhaps feared, more among liberal elites than among the right wing...
“I cannot tell you how many people, myself included, and this is not hyperbole, whose lives were changed by him,” said [Norman]Finkelstein, who has been driven out of several university posts for his intellectual courage and independence.
This is well worth the read.
