About this listen

 Noam Chomsky Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

In the past few days, Noam Chomsky, the legendary linguist and fierce critic of power, has been at the center of heated online debates rather than making any public appearances or business moves of his own. According to ZNetwork, one of his final acts before a devastating stroke in June 2023 left him unable to communicate was co-signing the Twenty Theses for Liberation, a bold manifesto with 30 thinkers aimed at unifying the left and sparking a new world vision. ZNetwork author Michael Albert passionately defends Chomsky against fresh accusations of hobnobbing with villains like Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon, insisting he engaged them out of curiosity to dismantle their lies, not admiration. Freethought Blogs echoes this on January 6, with Mano Singham rebutting claims of Chomsky as an elite misogynist, highlighting his lifelong immersion in evil reportage to expose it, and noting his stroke-induced silence amid the backlash.

Jurist.org dropped a bombshell on January 6 too, publishing the full, previously unseen interview from six years back where Chomsky skewers speaking truth to power as pointless, since the powerful already know it, urging activists to empower the powerless instead. He blasts figures like Lester Pearson as war criminals and rips NATO bombings in Kosovo for provoking atrocities, all from the documentary Truth to the Powerless. No social media posts or verified sightings from Chomsky himself in the last week, given his condition, and nothing in the past 24 hours screams major headlines beyond these resurfacing defenses of his uncompromising legacy. Speculation swirls online about his Epstein flight, but Albert and Singham dismiss it as guilt-by-association smears, unconfirmed by hard evidence.

These ripples underscore Chomskys enduring biographical weight, fueling fights over his radical purity even in silence.
