Podcast appearances and mentions of Noam Chomsky

Mucho antes de convertirse en protagonista de celebraciones y rituales, fue una herramienta clave para la evolución humana.La cocción de los alimentos permitió una digestión más eficiente y aportó la energía necesaria para el desarrollo de un cerebro más grande y complejo. Según la hipótesis del antropólogo Richard Wrangham, cocinar habría sido un factor decisivo en la transformación física de nuestros antepasados. Con el tiempo, cambios en la dentadura, la lengua y la laringe facilitaron la producción de sonidos cada vez más complejos, sentando las bases para la aparición del lenguaje.Los investigadores manejan distintas teorías sobre cómo surgió el habla. Algunas sostienen que evolucionó gradualmente a partir de sonidos simples que fueron combinándose hasta formar mensajes complejos. Otras, como la propuesta por Noam Chomsky, plantean que los seres humanos nacen con una capacidad lingüística innata que se activa al interactuar con una comunidad.Miles de años después, el fuego sigue ocupando un lugar central en la vida social. La Fiesta de San Juan, originada en antiguos cultos paganos del solsticio de verano europeo y luego incorporada por el cristianismo, tiene como símbolo principal la hoguera.En Uruguay, la celebración coincide con el solsticio de invierno y la noche más larga del año. Por eso, las fogatas adquieren un significado especial: reunir a la comunidad, dejar atrás lo negativo y dar la bienvenida a una nueva etapa.Uno de los principales impulsores de esta tradición es el Casal Català de Montevideo. Desde hace más de 20 años organiza la Verbena de Sant Joan, una fiesta que traslada al Río de la Plata una de las celebraciones más emblemáticas de Catalunya. Con una gran fogata, gastronomía típica y actividades culturales, el fuego vuelve a convertirse en un puente entre pasado y presente, entre Europa y Uruguay.

Gazze'de yaşanan ve sadece bütün dünya tarafından seyredilen televizyonlarda adeta canlı yayınlanan ürpertici soykırım ile 500 bin çocuğun çalınması, katledilmesi, kanlarının emilmesi, sonra da yenilmesi, bunun da, Batı uygarlığını kuran Noam Chomsky, Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Obama gibi büyük düşünürler, bilim adamları, sanatçılar ve siyasetçiler tarafından gerçekleştirilmesi Batı uygarlığını bir çıkmaz sokağın eşiğine getirip kilitledi.

Jeffrey Epstein's calendar revealed that, years after his 2008 conviction, he was still moving through circles of enormous power and influence. The entries showed scheduled meetings, calls, dinners, and visits involving figures from finance, academia, politics, law, philanthropy, and intelligence-adjacent circles, including names such as Bill Burns, Noam Chomsky, Leon Botstein, Kathryn Ruemmler, Bill Gates, Leon Black, Thomas Pritzker, and Mort Zuckerman. The key takeaway was not that every person listed committed wrongdoing, but that Epstein remained useful, connected, and socially viable long after the public record showed he was a convicted sex offender. His calendar exposed how little his conviction actually isolated him from elite networks.What the calendar really revealed was Epstein's operating model: access as currency. He used his homes, his money, his introductions, and his aura of connection to keep powerful people close, while those powerful people often later described the contact as limited, professional, philanthropic, academic, or transactional. The calendar undercut the idea that Epstein was simply a disgraced financier living in exile after 2008; instead, it showed a man still arranging meetings with decision-makers, billionaires, university leaders, lawyers, and public figures. It did not function as a criminal charging document, but it did provide a map of the ecosystem that allowed Epstein to remain relevant, protected, and plugged into power despite everything that was already known about him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Alex Levy es creador de Through Conversations, un podcast donde conversa con pensadores, científicos, autores y figuras públicas sobre filosofía, ciencia, tecnología, política y cultura. Ha entrevistado a gente como Noam Chomsky, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Kevin Kelly y James Hollis. También es autor de The Time Is Now: A Guide to Honor Your Time on Earth.En este episodio converso con Alex sobre el podcast como una forma de salir del monólogo interno y encontrarnos con otros. Lo que empieza como una conversación sobre entrevistas, invitados y síndrome del impostor se convierte poco a poco en algo más profundo: la dificultad de crecer sin perder libertad, la presión de elegir una identidad, la aceleración del mundo, la inteligencia artificial, el burnout y esa sensación de que ya no tenemos una estrella norte clara. Hablamos del sacrificio, de la voz interna, de la fe y de lo difícil que es confiar antes de tener pruebas. Más que hablar de podcasting, hablamos de amistad, de pertenencia y de las partes de nosotros mismos que tal vez necesitamos soltar para seguir viviendo con más verdad. Y sí, a final de cuentas, la ansiedad que sentimos en nuestros cuerpos es una respuesta lógica a laaceleración que todos estamos experimentando.Como siempre, tus comentarios son muy valiosos para mí. Gracias por compartir y co-crear conmigo mejores preguntas. Con cariño,Victor____Más contenido en:

Episode 392 of RevolutionZ  uncovers and visits a half-century-old file on my computer to address a surprisingly urgent question: are we building new revolutionary ideas, or just renting space in inherited ones. I recently rediscovered the text of my 1974 book What Is To Be Undone? written when the arguments between Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, anarchism, and other currents were not academic history but living fuel for organizing. Reading my own early investigations as the Sixties slipped into the Seventies feels like opening a time capsule and realizing the contents still impact what people believe is possible. On the same day, a friend pointed me toward Gabriel Rockhill's Who Paid The Piper Of Western Marxism? and the storms around his claim that contemporary revolutionary theory drifted into a “respectable” left alignment with capitalism and imperialism. I share a long excerpt from Rockhill laying out his case: a purge of dialectical and historical materialism, class analysis pushed aside by culturalism, and a call to rebuild a disciplined, organized left that can actually win. We agree on the need to rejuvenate anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist struggle, but we very seriously diverge on whether the path forward is a return to classical Marxism-Leninism and democratic centralism or a break from their limits. From there, I grapple with a personal and political test: was my younger and then on-going self part of the problem Rockhill describes, or was I trying to learn from past failures to strengthen future movements. Along the way I revisit blurbs from Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and Herb Gintis, reflect on the dangers of sectarian dismissal, and end with Bob Dylan's “My Back Pages” as a reminder that clarity sometimes comes from letting go of certainty. This episode begins another sequence of episodes whose number of entries depends on what seems the case. Me then and now: a deluded, deceived, sell out CIA symp rejector of Marxism Leninism, or me then and now a sincere whipper snapper  trying to overcome past ideological problems on the way to a better society? Is our ideological problem anti anti imperialism, as Rockhill asserts, or is it that  in going forward from the Sixties we actually retained too much from dead men's minds? This episode is a scene setting opening shot on the way to aggressively and hopefully definitively determining which way we need to orient our thinking Back to classical Marxism Leninism, or forward to a participatory self managing future.Support the show

Journalist, grassroots organiser, and author Chris Kaspar de Ploeg pulls back the curtain on how Western legacy media operates to manufacture consent for imperialist, neocolonial, and xenophobic narratives. Moving beyond surface-level partisan bickering, de Ploeg utilizes a rigorous socioeconomic and class-based analysis to dissect the structural mechanisms that dictate modern news coverage. The discussion explores how Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky's Propaganda Model manifests today, examining a media ecosystem where the audience is treated as the product rather than the client. De Ploeg shares his firsthand experience with media blackouts following the release of his book, Ukraine in the Crossfire, illustrating the real-world boundaries of acceptable discourse. His analysis then expands to the broader political economy of news—including corporate monopolies, advertising reliance, and state subsidies—before delivering a critical evaluation of the media's disparate framing of state violence, civilian casualties, and ideological weaponisation in the Gaza crisis. Finally, the conversation tackles the illusion of choice in the digital age, analysing how algorithmic shadow-banning and digital oligopolies bottleneck dissent to provide an essential, uncompromising look at the forces shaping our perception of global conflict.

 In this episode of Varn Vlog, we welcome back British anthropologist and activist Dr. Chris Knight, author of Decoding Chomsky, to discuss the startling revelations surrounding Noam Chomsky's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. We go beyond the headlines to examine the deep-seated contradictions in Chomsky's career, his historical ties to the military-industrial complex, and what these scandals mean for the future of the American Left.Key Topics Covered:The Epstein Revelations: Analyzing the surprising extent of emails and mutual involvement between the Chomskys and Jeffrey Epstein, including claims of financial advice and legal support during family disputes.The "Two Chomskys": Dr. Knight explains the "firewall" between Chomsky's public persona as an anti-militarist critic and his decades-long career at MIT, working within Pentagon-funded laboratories alongside figures he regarded as war criminals.Science vs. Politics: A deep dive into how Chomsky's linguistic theories—specifically Universal Grammar and the "language module"—may have served the interests of military command and control systems.The Cognitive Revolution's Legacy: How the shift toward "mind over matter" in the human sciences served as a counter-materialist program that undermined traditional Marxist and scientific analysis on the Left.About Our Guest:Dr. Chris Knight is a renowned British anthropologist and a leading critic of Noam Chomsky's scientific and political legacy. His book, Decoding Chomsky: Science and Revolutionary Politics, has seen a massive resurgence in interest as scholars and activists seek to understand the collapse of Chomsky's reputation.Supplementary ReadingGrandin, G.  (2025, December 15).

Story 1: Appalachia is sitting on 300 years worth of lithium deposits. A new USGS study found massive lithium deposits in Appalachia that could fundamentally reshape America's energy independence from China. This is the kind of story that should be front page everywhere and somehow isn't. We spend billions hand-wringing about our dependency on Chinese critical minerals while the answer might literally be buried under West Virginia. If this pans out, it's not just an energy story — it's a geopolitical power shift. The question is whether Washington has the attention span and the will to actually develop it instead of letting it sit in a report nobody reads. Speaking of things buried where nobody's looking... Story 2: A French professor apparently ran a years-long fake Nobel Prize scheme — and fooled Noam Chomsky. French academic Florent Montaclair is accused of fabricating a prestigious philology award through a fake academic society and a nonexistent Delaware university, using it to impress real scholars worldwide. Let that sink in — a guy invented an entire fake Nobel-style prize, created a shell university in Delaware to back it up, and handed one to Noam Chomsky, who later said he had zero memory of receiving it. This is either the most elaborate academic con in recent memory or the most damning commentary on how credentials actually work in elite intellectual circles. If the most famous public intellectual in America can be handed a fake award from a fake institution and just... not notice, what does that say about the whole ecosystem of academic prestige? From fake prestige to a very real financial escape act... Story 3: Billionaire Ken Griffin is pulling jobs out of New York City in direct response to a mayoral candidate's tax-the-rich rhetoric — and he's being very specific about it. Citadel founder Ken Griffin announced he'll route future job growth to Miami rather than New York, explicitly citing Zohran Mamdani's wealth tax proposals as the reason. Most politicians who float "tax the rich" policies assume the rich will just sit there and take it. Griffin is showing, in real time, that they won't — and he's naming names and zip codes when he makes the move. This isn't abstract economic theory anymore; it's a live case study happening before the guy pushing the policy has even won an election. New York City is watching its tax base audition for the exit, and the warning shot has already been fired. From economic self-preservation to outright self-destruction... Story 4: Hantavirus from a single cruise ship has now spread to multiple continents, and one returning American passenger is already sick. Twenty-three passengers from the MV Hondius have returned to countries across the globe after a hantavirus outbreak on board, with a Swiss passenger testing positive in Europe and at least one American already showing symptoms. Hantavirus carries a 40% mortality rate. Let that number breathe for a second. And we have confirmed cases now scattering to "all corners" of the world from a single ship, with an eight-week dormancy period meaning people may not even know they're carrying it yet. The experts are telling us not to panic because it's not as contagious as COVID — which, sure, but we also said a lot of reassuring things in early 2020. The contact tracing window on this one is tight and the clock is already running. From a biological threat most people haven't heard of to a political threat nobody saw coming... Story 5: A sitting U.S. congresswoman openly admitted she coordinated with foreign governments to circumvent an active American embargo. Rep. Pramila Jayapal revealed she has been working with ambassadors from Mexico and other Latin American countries to arrange oil shipments to Cuba in direct defiance of U.S. sanctions. This isn't a leak, a rumor, or an allegation — she said it herself, out loud, on the record. A sitting member of Congress admitted to actively working with foreign nations to undermine U.S. foreign policy. Whether you agree with the Cuba embargo or not, the act of a federal lawmaker coordinating with foreign governments to subvert it is a serious legal and constitutional question that deserves a lot more scrutiny than it's getting. The silence from the media on this one is deafening.

How Deeply Human Is Language? Chomsky, the Brain, and the AI Fantasy (MIT Press, 2026) is Yosef Grodzinsky's exploration of the criticality of the linguistic theories to the design of LLMs. The book dwells on the significance of the marriage between computational and theoretical fields, specifically “engineering and science” on the development of unique Language Learning Models. Yosef maintains that leveraging linguistic theories for the development of Gen AI chatbots and training of Language Learning Models will help the growing Gen-AI revolution. In the book, LLMs are evaluated from the neurolinguistic perspective, comparing how the human brain works with different LLMs' reactions to prompts, highlighting how a collaboration between the core linguists and the experts in the technology-related fields could make a change. Yosef Grodzinzky's positions in the book is grounded in contemporary linguistics, founded and inspired by Noam Chomsky, the father of the “mentalist” linguistic perspective to language acquisition. In the book, the author employs the historical approach to tell different significant stories to communicate multiple messages of success of interdisciplinary practices. While the main idea is to explore the centrality of linguistic science to other fields with specific emphasis on Engineering and sister's technological fields, the book dwelled on specific pitfalls of the linguistics and way forward to promote novel interdisciplinary productions. Mariam Olugbodi is a university teacher and a writer, she is the author of the monograph titled: “Stylistic Features in the 2011 and 2012 Final Matches Commentaries in the UEFA Champions League”, published by Grin Verlag. Mariam's greatest dream is seeing a world where knowledge is accessible to all. She does this through her volunteering roles on open knowledge platforms as a host and an editor.

Send us Fan MailAmerica doesn't feel tense because we disagree. It feels tense because a lot of people believe they kept their end of the bargain and the country didn't keep its end of the deal.We start with that sense of betrayal and follow the trail through today's economic anxiety, collapsing trust in institutions, and a media environment that turns politics into spectacle. When every issue becomes a team sport and social media rewards humiliation over understanding, we don't just get louder. We get lonelier, more suspicious, and easier to manipulate. And when ordinary people are squeezed while elites insist everything is “fine,” anger stops being an emotion and starts becoming an identity.Then we break down a rare commencement speech that actually says what many young people are living: an economy that isn't built for them, a widening 99% vs 1% gap, and disillusionment that can function like a superpower if it leads to clear-eyed action. From there, we run an “autopsy” using thinkers across the spectrum, from Noam Chomsky to Thomas Sowell to Robert Reich and more, to show how different camps spotted different parts of the same collapse. The thread tying it together is simple and heavy: this is also a spiritual and meaning crisis, because money is never just money, it's dignity and a future you can picture.We close with a listener question about rising geopolitical tension and explain why the next decade may bring long-term global instability as a multipolar world forms without agreed rules, plus a sharp “blast from the intellectual past” that reminds us how narratives get contested in real time.

Buckley, Gore Vidal, Christopher Hitchens, and Noam Chomsky, not for nostalgia, but to stress-test today's arguments with the sharpest versions of yesterday's debates.We wrestle with Vietnam as a case study in empire, propaganda, and moral justification, then jump to the 1968 Chicago convention where protests, policing, and constitutional rights collide on live television. The heat is the point: you can hear how quickly “law and order” turns into permission, and how quickly “freedom” turns into labeling the other side as enemies. From there we track modern censorship pressures that do not always look like laws, including the Danish cartoons crisis and the way fear and intimidation can make editors and institutions fold without a single statute changing.Finally, we dig into the hardest free speech knot of all: defending someone's civil liberties without defending their ideas, and deciding whether media regulation helps or whether democratizing media power is the real fix. If you care about the First Amendment, political discourse, censorship, protest rights, or the future of open debate, this one is for you.

Shadi Hamid once marched against the Iraq War, read Noam Chomsky, and believed America was the root of the world's problems. He has since changed his mind—though not entirely. Now a Washington Post columnist and senior fellow at Georgetown University's Center for Muslim Christian Understanding, Hamid argues in his latest book, The Case for American Power, that American dominance, exercised morally, remains the world's best bet for stability and peace. He joins the show to make that case while refusing to pull his punches where America has fallen short. He and Coleman debate whether the Iraq War was worth it in the long run, why Joe Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal was a mistake, how the U.S. has failed to use its leverage over Israel, his fundamental mistrust of the Trump administration, and why a world where China balances American power is not the progressive fantasy some on the left imagine it to be. He and Coleman also get into the America First movement and the limits of the United Nations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 382 of RevolutionZ continues our sequence of chapters from the soon forthcoming book, The Wind Cries Freedom: An Oral History of the Next American Revolution. This chapter's title is "Beyond Capitalism, Classlessness." But, before we get into that, and  as with other recent episodes, first we briefly take up two current issues of interest, cancel culture and what to do about AI. A publisher decides to pulp books it once praised. The publisher moves the word “cancel” from being descriptive to being vicious. What should we make of that? Perhaps best to consider a real case. A German anarchist-leaning publisher removes from its list four Noam Chomsky titles. We ask the uncomfortable question, how can that be true? Even if Chomsky or any other writer behaved really grossly, as Chomsky didn't but many others have, should anyone, much less an anarchist-leaning press, judge their books by their actual content, or should we all  perform some kind of purity test on their writer and dispense with the writer's books? Put differently, should we publish or for that matter read books for their content or just to celebrate or denigrate their authors? When a crowd, or a part of a crowd, gets angry at an author, is it appropriate to dispense with the author's books to avoid annoying the crowd? Is that anarchist behavior, socialist behavior, or feminist behavior, or is it fascist behavior?What happens to truth, organizing, and our own moral spine when outrage becomes a reflex, when “guilty until proven innocent” turns into a culture, and books become targets to cancel? The first part of  episode 382 argues a position that ought to be self evident. A book is not its author. Pulping books is just a less graphic version of burning books which is true even when leftists light the fire. And finally, cancellation behavior perverts its perpetrators as well as attacks its targets. After that, we take up some matters of artificial intelligence to apply a practical, political focus. Best case, AI helps cure cure cancer, reverse global warming, and expand human capability. Worst case, AI intensifies surveillance, makes manipulation mandatory, assaults the planet, un-employs millions, and weaponizes itself to the point of AIs hunting humans for sport. How can we conceive AI policy demands to make now, including enforceable oversight, bans on dangerous uses, limits on energy use, and economic rules that turn productivity gains into shared well being rather than into private profit? How can we usefully think about demands to guide ethical AI, algorithmic accountability, the climate impact of AI, and even AI's collateral soul-stripping impact on its totally well-meaning users in their daily lives?Finally, this episode moves into another “report from the future.” Interviewees  describe building classlessness through RPS organizing. Their accounts get concrete about attaining a new, worthy, viable economy that includes balanced job complexes and self-management that actually shares power, They talk about RPS steadily enlarging its working class membership and leadership, and about the hard cultural work of confronting coordinator-class arrogance without blowing up needed solidarity. Various interviewees from The Wind Cries Freedom  describe their economic organizing experiences to offer insights on all these matters. From future Amazon sit-down strikes to a broad shift among professionals toward choosing “for the people” roles, this episode's chapter argues that the path to economic liberation is built on carefully considered strategic practices.Support the show

Descubre Como Entender de Verdad Un Trastorno de Ansiedad y Tomar Acción En Nuestro Curso Gratuito El Mapa de La Ansiedad: https://escuelaansiedad.com/Cursos/el-mapa-de-la-ansiedad ️ Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de La teoría de la mente, el espacio en el que exploramos a los grandes autores, corrientes e ideas que transformaron nuestra manera de entender la psicología, la mente y el comportamiento humano. En este episodio nos adentramos en la figura de Noam Chomsky, uno de los pensadores más influyentes del siglo XX y una pieza clave para comprender el paso del conductismo a la psicología cognitiva. Su irrupción en el panorama intelectual no solo cuestionó una teoría dominante, sino que cambió radicalmente la forma en la que empezamos a pensar sobre el lenguaje, la mente y la naturaleza humana. Hasta ese momento, buena parte de la psicología veía la mente como una especie de “caja negra”, algo a lo que no se podía acceder directamente y que, por tanto, debía dejarse fuera de la explicación científica. El énfasis estaba puesto en la conducta observable, en los estímulos y en las respuestas. Pero Chomsky irrumpió para señalar que esa visión era insuficiente, especialmente cuando intentamos explicar algo tan complejo como el lenguaje humano. Uno de los momentos más decisivos fue su famosa crítica de 1959 a Conducta verbal, la obra de B.F. Skinner. Frente a la idea conductista de que el lenguaje podía entenderse como una conducta aprendida mediante condicionamiento, Chomsky sostuvo que esa explicación resultaba demasiado limitada y, en muchos aspectos, vacía para captar la riqueza real del habla humana. Para él, hablar no era simplemente repetir asociaciones aprendidas: era poner en marcha una capacidad profundamente creativa. Y esa es una de las grandes ideas de este episodio: la mente humana no funciona como un loro que repite, sino como un sistema capaz de generar infinitas combinaciones nuevas. Chomsky defendió que las personas producimos frases que nunca hemos escuchado antes, y que eso solo puede explicarse si existen estructuras mentales internas, reglas gramaticales y principios organizadores que hacen posible esa creatividad. A partir de ahí surge su propuesta más influyente: la teoría innatista del lenguaje. Chomsky planteó que los seres humanos nacemos con una predisposición biológica para adquirir el lenguaje, una especie de dispositivo de adquisición que guía a los niños en el aprendizaje de su lengua materna. Esta idea devolvió al centro del debate conceptos que el conductismo había dejado de lado: lo innato, la estructura mental y la arquitectura interna de la mente. En este episodio exploramos cómo Chomsky reabrió la puerta al estudio científico de los procesos mentales, cómo su pensamiento conectó con tradiciones racionalistas anteriores y por qué su influencia fue decisiva para el nacimiento y consolidación de la psicología cognitiva. Entender a Chomsky es entender uno de los giros más importantes de la historia de la psicología moderna. Si te interesa la relación entre lenguaje, mente, aprendizaje y naturaleza humana, este episodio es para ti. Escúchalo hasta el final y acompáñanos en este recorrido por una de las revoluciones intelectuales más importantes del siglo pasado.

Thomas argues that NATO's true purpose, from its inception, was not to defend Europe but to ensure its vassalization by keeping "the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down." He contends that the war in Ukraine was a deliberately provoked conflict designed by US planners to sever Europe's economic and energy ties with Russia, forcing the EU into deeper dependency on American energy and military infrastructure.The conversation goes into the weaponization of media narratives and the management of dissent through censorship and “acceptable” politics, connecting the cultural Cold War to today's crisis of hegemony. Ukraine, Greenland, and Europe's energy self-sabotage aren't anomalies, they're features of an imperial system that requires subordination abroad and confusion at home.Thomas Fazi is a “journalist/writer/translator/socialist.” who lives in Italy.

In het adresboekje van Jeffrey Epstein stonden opvallend veel wetenschappers - van Nobelprijswinnaars tot publieke intellectuelen als Noam Chomsky. Uit de Epstein Files blijkt dat hij onderzoek financierde, diners organiseerde en hen meenam in zijn privéjet. Maar Epstein zocht meer dan alleen gezelschap. De veroordeelde zedendelinquent had een uitgesproken fascinatie voor het menselijk bewustzijn, eugenetica en de ‘verbeterde' mens. Wat trok wetenschappers naar Epstein - en wat wilde Epstein van hen?Presentatie: Karlijn SarisGasten: Sjoerd de Jong, Merijn de WaalRedactie en montage: Liz DautzenbergHeeft u vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

Dans cet épisode, on replonge dans le documentaire Manufacturing Consent avec Philippe De Grosbois afin de voir si la pensée de Noam Chomsky est encore pertinente aujourd'hui, en plein conflit entre les États-Unis, Israël et l'Iran. On revient également sur la révélation des liens que Chomsky entretenait avec Jeffrey Epstein. Le prof Jonathan Martel revient documenter le processus qui est en train de faire de lui un chercheur universitaire et en fin d'épisode, Fred réfléchit sur la présence de Pierre Pahlavi sur les ondes du diffuseur public comme analyste crédible du conflit en Iran 

Noam Chomsky’s superpower is his intellect and ability to communicate complicated subjects with clarity. He made politics accessible for multiple generations. Chomsky is the gateway drug to leftist ideology. He’s also close friends with the most prolific child abuser and sex trafficker of the modern era. It’s okay to acknowledge Chomsky’s contributions and even more okay to let them go and bury his legacy.

"They are fundamentally bound at the hip, because the Trump age is a conspiratorial age and a backlash against global wealth inequality... Epstein facilitated the rise of Trump." — Jason PackLate last year, Disorder podcast host Jason Pack came on the show and predicted that Mark Carney would be the "orderer" of 2025 and Jeffrey Epstein would be 2026's "disorderer-in-chief". Pack was uncannily right. Although, as he admits, such prescience gives him no pleasure.Pack is no conspiracist. He thought QAnon was a hoax; he saw the antisemitism baked into its bizarre theories. But he's come to believe there was a genuine cover-up of the Jeffrey Epstein case—not orchestrated by the CIA, but by prosecutors who didn't want to go after powerful people, journalists comfortably ensconced in Epstein's world, and a system where too much wealth has accrued to too narrow a sliver of global elites.What haunts him most is what the emails reveal about how the world actually works. Favors exchanged for favors in a network of infinite back-scratching. Noam Chomsky (!) and Leon Black busy trading intros for access to Epstein's underworld. The emails reveal completely amoral elites, Pack says, nihilists without even the pretense of moral scruples.Trump and Epstein, Pack argues, are bound at the hip—not because Trump is guilty of Epstein's crimes, but because both are products of the same angry backlash against global wealth inequality and the collapse of institutional trust. Trump is, in Pack's memorable phrase, "a legal Epstein"—someone who gets things done through connections, who can appear the most elite Wall Street type to bankers and the most common man to coal miners. The evil genius of doppelgängerism. For Pack, the Epstein files may be a tremor before the big one—AI or crypto could bring the real 1789 style earthquake—but they've already destroyed something of priceless value: the illusion that elites are working on the behalf of the people. Five Takeaways●      The Cover-Up Wasn't a Conspiracy—It Was the System: Cases sat on prosecutors' desks in Florida in 2003 and weren't filed. Journalists were tipped off in the early 2000s and didn't run with it. Pack isn't alleging CIA orchestration—just that too much wealth and power had accrued to too narrow a tranche of global elites, and they were able to cow journalists and prosecutors into silence.●      Trump and Epstein Are Bound at the Hip: Both are products of the same backlash against global wealth inequality and the collapse of trust since the end of the Cold War. The irony: Trump is himself a member of the elite who benefited from these networks, but his political appeal lies in his promise to dismantle them.●      "Order" vs. the Law of the Jungle: The world Epstein built wasn't ordered in any traditional sense—it was the logic of the jungle, based on blackmail and compromat. Russian intelligence running a financial sex trafficking influence scheme at the heart of the Anglo-American establishment. When they needed a service, they got the service.●      The Collapse of Social Trust: Pack contrasts our "low-trust" Anglo-American society with Scandinavian models where people still believe institutions work on their behalf. The Epstein files reveal completely amoral elites who believed in nothing—no religion, no moral code—and had no compunction about harming young women or stealing pensioners' money.●      A Tremor Before the Big One: Epstein won't bring down neoliberal capitalism. But AI making five families wealthier than the rest of the world combined could. Or crypto going to zero and 300,000 people realizing their life savings are gone. The true significance of the Epstein files is that they've stripped away the illusion that the system works on our behalf. About the GuestJason Pack is a historian, consultant, and host of the Disorder podcast.

Sunglasses, Skull Faces, and the Longest Fight Scene EverREBROADCASTWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell are joined by returning guest Adam Marshall Rini to dissect John Carpenter's 1988 cult classic They Live. What starts as a simple tale of a drifter looking for work quickly transforms into a mind-bending sci-fi commentary on consumerism, Reaganomics, and subliminal control—once Roddy Piper finds those magical sunglasses, of course. But is this film a masterpiece of political satire or just "Noam Chomsky for 14-year-olds"? The hosts debate whether They Live is best enjoyed with tacos and beer or if it's essential viewing for understanding capitalism's grip on society.The conversation flows from the film's jarring tonal shifts—peaceful drifter to trigger-happy action hero in minutes—to that infamous alley fight scene that seems to go on longer than the movie itself. Krissy experiences the film with fresh eyes and finds herself both fascinated and bewildered by its pacing, while Nathan and Adam appreciate it as a "beer and taco movie" that hits different emotional notes depending on your age when you first watch it. They explore Carpenter's knack for making outsiders the heroes, the shocking violence of the police raid scenes, and why casting a professional wrestler was the perfect choice to reach a teenage audience. The panel also wrestles with the film's abrupt ending and that peculiar final shot that seems designed purely to earn its R rating.Additional Highlights:The group debates whether the sunglasses actually get you high or just tax your brain with information overloadDiscussion of how They Live influenced everything from Shepard Fairey's "Obey" artwork to South Park episodesAnalysis of why Keith David elevates every scene he's in, even when he's being forced to wear sunglasses against his willExamination of the film's stark division between the haves and have-nots, with no middle class in sightThe revelation that this screenplay follows textbook structure, hitting its major plot point at exactly the 30-minute markThe hosts land on vastly different ratings: Nathan gives it 8 pairs of sunglasses as a fun genre piece, Adam awards it an honorary 14 for its cultural importance to young minds, and Krissy settles on 5—acknowledging its significance while admitting it's just not for her. Their deep cut recommendations range from the video game Fallout: New Vegas to Noam Chomsky's Understanding Power to Green Day's “American Idiot,” proving this film's influence extends far beyond cinema.Learn More:Discover more about the podcast and TruStory FM at trustory.fm.

Why does it feel like so much left discourse is explaining why we aren't ready to act: "Insufficient union density, insufficient political consciousness, insufficient organization"? If it only takes 3% of the population to spark revolutionary change, what can we do with the tens of millions who mobilized for George Floyd or Palestine? How do we sustain civil disobedience as the state increasingly criminalizes free speech and ratchets up penalties as they did for Jessica Reznicek?

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they wrap up the weekdiscussing the latest elites caught up in the Epstein scandal, the media's curious silence over a record-setting sewage spill into the Potomac River, and Congress leaves town for more than a week without funding the Department of Homeland Security.First, they react to newly reported details about Jeffrey Epstein's connections to former Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, far-leftauthor and commentator Noam Chomsky, and the owner of Lifetouch, one of the nation's largest school photography companies. Jim underscores the breathtaking indifference many elites appeared to show toward Epstein's admitted crimes.Next, they examine what is now being described as the worst wastewater disaster in U.S. history: a massive sewage spill into the Potomac River. Despite the scale and environmental impact, both local and national media outlets have shown strikingly little interest. Jim points out how much the media covers a disaster like this depends almost entirely upon whom they can blame for it.Finally, they fume as a partial government shutdown will begin at midnight because Democrats refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security because of their temper tantrum over ICE.

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger unload on Noam Chomsky, portraying him as a gatekeeper on the left who discouraged scrutiny of elite power and dismissed investigations into events like JFK's assassination, 9/11, and COVID-era policies as distractions or conspiracies. They argue that newly surfaced Epstein-related emails undermine Chomsky's credibility, highlighting his reported social interactions with Epstein and advice he offers Epstein on handling media scrutiny after the disgraced financier's conviction.  Jimmy and Kurt further point to Chomsky's positions on vaccine mandates, Medicare for All, and "Force the Vote" as evidence that he aligned with establishment narratives while marginalizing grassroots activism. The discussion concludes by framing Chomsky as a "proxy dissident" whose influence, according to the hosts, ultimately steered dissent back into mainstream political channels rather than challenging them. Plus segments on Lindsey Graham's increasing episodes of slurred speech during TV appearances and another TPUSA whistleblower tearing into Erika Kirk for breeding a hostile work environment. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Baron Coleman!

It used to be seen as a passing, dirty, American sex scandal in the beginning, but over time it has also involved an ex-President, business, political and entertainment figures, and the current President. But now, over the past few weeks, the Epstein scandal threatens major figures in other countries. Today, on her regular Monday appearance, Dr Janice Stein of the Munk School at the University of Toronto has her say. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

durée : 00:02:44 - L'Humeur du matin par Guillaume Erner - par : Guillaume Erner - La publication des Epstein Files interroge la cohérence entre le discours et les fréquentations, autour de figures intellectuelles et culturelles comme Noam Chomsky ou Jack Lang. - réalisation : Félicie Faugère

The latest tranche of Epstein files has sent shock waves around the world, but many of the powerful men who minimised and dismissed his crimes are still yet to face any real consequences. The documents show the likes of Noam Chomsky and Steve Bannon were happy to maintain relationships with Epstein even after he spent time in jail for child sex offences. What message does that send to the abused women and girls, whose experiences should be the real focus? And will these men ever be held to account?

This is a preview clip from a subscribers-only episode. Check out our Patreon and subscribe to listen! On this week's News Trap Justin and I talk about the delicious crash of the crypto hustle, the sinister promise of "agentic AI," the human wreckage of Silicon Valley's utopian projects, the sad fall of Noam Chomsky, and the larger implications of Jeffrey Epstein's legendary run as the elite's favorite BFF.

In this powerful lecture marking the shloshim (30-day memorial) of his mother, Rivkah bas Avraham obm, Rabbi Shais Taub weaves personal memory with Torah insight in a way that is both intimate and intellectually arresting. Drawing on his mother's life as a speech pathologist, he explores what it truly means that the human being is defined by speech—how words emerge from the deepest levels of the soul, and how language can shape identity and destiny. Along the way, he shares formative childhood stories, including how she taught him to write, the first (and last) time he ever lied to her, and the quiet moments of parenting that profoundly shaped his inner life. The lecture moves beyond biography into unexpected territory, tracing a line from Tanya and Onkelos' description of the human soul as a “speaking spirit” to modern linguistic theory. Rabbi Taub recounts how his mother found support for Noam Chomsky's ideas about language in the writings of the Alter Rebbe, including a clip from Rabbi Taub's own conversation with Chomsky. He also reflects on her lifelong love of Chabad niggunim—first learned as a teenager from Zalman Schechter—and her remarkable positivity through twelve years of serious illness. Timed to Tu B'Shvat, the lecture becomes a meditation on the power of gratitude and positivity.

Maggie Doyne is co-founder of the BlinkNow Foundation and Kopila Valley Children's Home and School in Surkhet, Nepal. At age nineteen, she used her babysitting money and worked with the local community to build a home for orphaned children in war-torn Nepal. In 2010, she and her team opened a school for five hundred of the region's most impoverished children. Throughout the past decade, BlinkNow and Kopila have worked to deepen and grow the organization through grassroots community development efforts. Her work has been championed by Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist Nicholas Kristof and the Dalai Lama, among others. The story of BlinkNow's beginnings has been featured on the Huffington Post, VH1, MTV, and DoSomething.org. Maggie was named Glamour magazine's Woman of the Year and was used as an example for her groundbreaking work at the Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy. In 2015, she was named CNN Hero of the Year. Maggie's story carries a message of hope, love, and the possibility of how the smallest individual acts can spark huge world change. She believes that poverty, hunger, and violence will be alleviated when children are provided with their most basic needs and human rights—a loving, happy childhood, nutrition, and a quality education. She believes that this can be achieved during her lifetime.

How should the left compete with this Silicon Valley vision of the future? Does it look like Star Trek? Plur1bus? Or Bicentennial Man? Is human extinction necessarily bad if our moral "accounting" balances the beauty of humanity against our capacity for cruelty? A fascinating conversation you won't want to skip.
