Chomsky at MIT: Between the war scientists and the anti-war students (tags)
It is now fifty years since Noam Chomsky published his celebrated article, 'The Responsibility of Intellectuals'. Few other writings had a greater impact on the turbulent political atmosphere on US campuses in the 1960s. The essay launched Chomsky's political career as the world's most intransigent and cogent critic of US foreign policy - a position he has held to this day.
9-11, John Deutch, Mitre Corp., and the NRO (tags)
Here, I connect the dots between John Deutch (ex-CIA director), Prince Ahmed bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia (who seems to recently have been heart-attacked), Mitre Corp. (of which John Deutch was employed once), 9-11, and the National Reconaissance Office's (NRO) satellite contracts. The biggest contractor for the NRO, some would say, is TRW which, coincidentally, John Deutch also worked for. It bears mentioning here that John Deutch also worked for SAIC, which is currently looking very bad for allegedly designing voting machines that are highly hackable. But wait. There's more.
