I'm currently reading it, and I need some help with it. Does anyone have any links/other readings to confirm what he's saying? I feel like he doesn't have enough evidence.

Perhaps you could post what exactly it is you believe is unevidenced and members with pro/con evidence could provide what it is you want?

I don't have the book right now, so I'll get back to you on specifics. I like Noam, but I feel like he's just saying things, and I have to look them up. He says stuff about the US supporting facism, and using Klaus Barbie to take down antifacist resistance, but I can't find anything about that.:confused:

Are there any sources provided in the back of the book? Otherwise you shouldn't rely on him for any information.

The book is a cut and paste job from various talks he's given over the years. It's "Chomsky Lite." You have to go to his primary texts such as After the Cataclysm, Deterring Democracy, Year 501: The Conquest Continues, etc. for all the supporting references (and the notes for these books run to 20-30 pages.)
