One of the greatest intellectuals of our time.

R.I.P to the Great Man.

A giant has fallen. Walk Good Naom Chomsky.

Naom Chomsky

Chomsky's contributions to the human sciences' cognitive revolution are well known.
His efforts have been essential in creating a new paradigm for cognitively approached language and cognition research.
Chomsky is a major figure in opposition to many facets of US foreign policy, contemporary capitalism, US engagement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel's role in the conflict, and the influence of mass media.
The anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist movements greatly benefit from Chomsky and his beliefs.
Chomsky has said that characterizing Israel's treatment of the Palestinians as apartheid, similar to the system that existed in South Africa, would be a "gift to Israel", as he has long held that "the Occupied Territories are much worse than South Africa"
For 40 years Noam Chomsky has turned out book after book, pamphlet after pamphlet and speech after speech with one message, and one message alone: America is the Great Satan; it is the fount of evil in the world.
The illustrious University of Arizona's Agnese Nelms Haury Program in Environment and Social Justice has named him the Agnese Helms Haury Chair since 2017.

If he was dead, it would be all over the news!

Noam Chomsky's wife says reports of famed linguist's death are false
Noam Chomsky’s wife, Valeria Wasserman Chomsky, says reports that the famed linguist and activist had died are untrue

“No, it is false,” she wrote Tuesday in response to an emailed query from The Associated Press. Noam Chomsky, 95, had been hospitalized in Brazil while recovering from a stroke suffered a year ago, Valeria Chomsky told the AP last week. But the Beneficencia Portuguesa hospital in Sao Paulo said in a statement that Chomsky was discharged on Tuesday to continue his treatment at home.

His shameful defense of this minor rapist Epstein, and his continued association with him will always be a black mark on his stellar career. But then again, was it his friendship he defended or the millions that Epstein donated to Harvard of which Chomsky benefited?

In reply to CricSham

You voted for a "grab them by the pussy" rapist Dotard.

Professor Chomsky's legacy as an intellectual titan and a man of the highest moral integrity would only be called into to question by people devoid of those traits.
