YoungWillz 19,851 Posted June 18 You know, I often mused that we would hear of Chomsky's death from a Kurd, rather from his family, his peers, or indeed the press. No family statement, no dead in this case. Until told otherwise of course. (This follows tikkety tok reports of the deaths of Bruce Willis and Ozzy Osbourne in recent days). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clorox Bleachman 2,164 Posted June 18 The tributes appear to have come out of nowhere around 6 hours ago. People are tweeting about it in multiple languages and it's possible that there could have been a miscommunication. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RetroGamer47 205 Posted June 18 Yeah, my fault on all of that had it been true by now something would have published it. Hoaxes and nothing more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 10,510 Posted June 18 I risked it. The initial post was much more dubitative. But the article author is a university teacher in New York. And some western tweets have started to appear, so I gave it a chance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Father Brown 116 Posted June 18 It's highly likely that Jacobin obit was written some time ago and it only got published now following the current rumours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 3,735 Posted June 18 The lack of News from Bev Stohl is somehow suspicious though… I guess if he was not dead, Stohl would have said something by now. Jump of the gun ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
