There's more to it than that, tho'
He was the last to want to get rid of the CIA, my favorite bugaboo.
The rest have been pretty much front-men since then.

Chomsky's not a big conspiracy buff, from that POV, which surprised me.
He sees a more straightforward, all-encompassing class-type conspiracy, he calls a "polyarchy", an elite that convinces itself through its use of language and media that it's actions are all good, while crushing the Third World (primarily, but also fooling we in the electorate).

Another interesting question from the floor I forgot to add,

Q: What about the nuclear reappraisal?
A: That's not new, it's been around since before Clinton,
and Clinton's approach wasn't any different.
The reason it's leaking out now, however, may be because
some in the administration are afraid the crazies are too
much in control and too close to the nuclear button."

He has a suspicion that there are some who are afraid, and want to sound the alarms. Interesting theory. I'm not sure who that refers to.
