Chomsky and the 9-11 Cover-up

December 30, 2013


Noam Chomsky, who has a large following, has stated that he does not think there has been a cover-up of what really happened on 9-11.  The real question is WHY does Chomsky refuse to acknowledge the obvious evidence of a massive cover-up?  Is it fear, tribal loyalty, or his long-standing connections to MIT and the Tavistock Institute of Britain? 


THE ISRAELI CEO OF TAVISTOCK - The Tavistock Institute, funded by the royal family, the Rockefellers, and the Rothschilds, pioneered the techniques of propaganda used to justify war. The CEO of Tavistock is an Israeli woman named Eliat Aram.

Having seen Noam Chomsky commenting on 9-11, I knew that he denies that there has been a cover-up of the truth.  When I saw his plug for Peter Dale Scott's book on 9-11 and the war conspiracy, I decided to ask him directly about the 9-11 cover-up.  The following is my recent correspondence with Chomsky:

Subject: Question about 9-11 Cover-up

Dear Professor Chomsky,

I have been reading Peter Dale Scott's book The War Conspiracy: JFK, 9/11, and the Deep Politics of War (2008).  At the very top of the book's front cover (see attached photo) is the following plug attributed to you:

"Scott exposes an element in the American system of global power that poses an increasing threat to the victims of this system, the American people among them."
- Noam Chomsky

In the book Professor Scott clearly states that he has "certain knowledge" that there has been a massive and on-going cover-up of what really happened on 9-11:

"I should make clear that, with respect to 9/11, I have certain knowledge of only one fact: that there has been and continues to be a massive cover-up."
The War Conspiracy: JFK, 9/11, and the Deep Politics of War, p. 367

Since your name is at the top of the book I would assume that you support what Professor Scott says, that "with respect to 9/11," he has certain knowledge that "there has been and continues to be a massive cover-up."

Do you agree that there has been a massive and on-going cover-up of the truth of 9-11?

Thank you for your consideration of my question.

Here is Chomsky’s response to my question:

This book appeared in 1972, and my comment refers to that edition. I haven’t seen anything more recent, including this edition. As for the practice of using a comment on the 1972 edition for this one, I leave it for you to judge.

I have no idea what Scott’s “certain knowledge” is, but it’s fair to assume that some things are being covered up, since that’s true about 100% of the time, not just in the US. The question is whether it’s anything significant.

The Chomskys went to London from Montreal on a ship in early June 1953. They arrived in England on June 6, 1953...


...and returned to the USA in late September 1953.  It was probably during these three-and-a-half months that they spent 6 weeks on a kibbutz in Israel.  This is probably the time when Chomsky was recruited to work for the Tavistock Institute, Britain's Zionist propaganda agency.
