We will not return to 'business as usual'. The Four Horsemen is an independent feature documentary which lifts the lid on how the world really works.  

In this interview Mr.Chomsky talks about the Tea Party movement, President Obama, the fallacy of war and “national interest,” the “free market” system, environmental destruction & nuclear arms being humanities greatest threat among a host of other topics. I can say that Noam is one of the few heroes I have on this planet. His words have just opened my eyes to how naïve I was to a lot of global issues. I love how he exposes a lot of the lies majority of people are brainwashed with by the powers-that-be. I wish he would talk about Africa more though, I would love to hear his thoughts on the destruction our continent has been put through. On a tangential topic I can't stand how Kenya doesn't have any serious public access radio station that deals with serious issues; its full of mostly garbage.   Listen: Noam Chomsky interview on Radio Open Source Radio Open Source

If any of y'all spots this in Nairobi, throw me a line. Been waiting to get my hands on it. *sigh.. I miss the days of Amazon pre-orders. Maybe Rachael's might have it?(checks..)

This is a 1992 film based on a book of the same name  by Noam Chomsky & Edward Herman (which I'm currently reading). It is nearly 3 hours long,so get a comfortable seat.. but it's worth it. Enjoy your weekend! Peter Wintonick and Mark Achbar made this penetrating documentary about the career and views of linguist and media critic Noam Chomsky. While the man is the subject of the movie, the filmmakers wisely and carefully choose not to make Chomsky more important than his insights into the way print and electronic journalism tacitly and often willingly further the agendas of the powerful. We learn a lot about Chomsky's formative experiences as a child, student, academic, activist, and politician (he has campaigned for office), but we learn just as much about the media institutions that deny him access today, from ABC to PBS. The centerpiece of the film, arguably, is a long examination into the history of the New York Times' coverage of Indonesia's atrocity-...

Here’s a shocker for you. I had never heard of Noam Chomsky until about three years ago; I hope that does not say something about my ignorance. But I happen to suspect the reason I had never heard of him is because I was never supposed to; it was designed that way. That I only heard of him because my father had travelled to the U.S while I was there and wanted to meet him says a lot. Though my dad never did get to meet him, it did pique my interest in who exactly this person is. Officially, Noam Chomsky is a Professor of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT , Boston who was born and grew up around the time of the Great Depression . But “on the side” he is a brilliant political activist and thinker. He is what most people would call a leftist radical or as he might term himself, an anarchist . Noam Chomsky as I have come to learn is widely known and gets to speak around the world. But this is where it gets paradoxical; if Chomsky is in high demand as a speaker and is known why had I ...
