I’d be amazed if the new blog “Turning the Tide” was actually written by Chomsky. The style just isn’t him. There’s not that sense of easy moral superiority which is Chomsky’s trademark (“it is obvious that…”). I imagine it’s put together by an acolyte. Chomsky wouldn’t introduce his own blog like this:

This blog will include brief comments on diverse topics of concern in our time. They will sometimes come from the ZNet sustainer forum system where Noam interacts through a forum of his own, sometimes from direct submissions, sometimes culled from mail and other outlets — always from Noam Chomsky.
