Using the delay between the live broadcast and the recording of the stream, this one is often completely off balance, folding back into itself and creating feedback loops. But this is a very thoughtful and expansive net of sounds, meant for the deeper part of you. Once you catch the flow, you will not be able to withdraw. The power is left up to you, but so is meaning.

#204 -- Noam Chomsky on U.S. Politics & Economy
Jan. 27, 2012, 6:57 a.m.
These recent remarks by Chomsky are both insightful and easy to follow. He discusses how the government serves the rich elite. We see this clearly in the gap between what the public wants (jobs, safety net) and the public policies we get (deficit reduction). Relatedly, he also discusses how the West and the USSR endlessly proclaimed the same lie: that Soviet totalitarianism was "socialism." Chomsky offers shrewd & interesting reflections on America today. Introductory comments by K.D.
