Not looking good for him, and if he was involved with that, it’s heartbreaking, but fuck him, let him rot in jail.
Not defending him and disappointed but I read he’s so old and messed up that he’s nonverbal and now living in Brazil
still. if he’s guilty let him be non verbal in a prison cell
Give us the details on Trump, not some overrated writer
The difference between MAGA nuts and sane people is that sane people will see stories about people they previously liked being involved with Epstein and still be glad more of the Epstein files are being released while the moment MAGAts sense the Epstein files will be bad for their orange leader, they try to sweep them under the rug.
to be fair, per the article Chomsky do not seems to be implicated in anything with Epstein… so the article is pretty suspicious. Remind me who own theguardian?
Ah, a British Libertarian Billionaire, last I looked
Yeah, but Chomsky is someone who has spent decades studying and writing about power structures and media’s involvement in those power structures.
I spent a bunch of my years in college reading and watching his Noam’s shit. The fact that he was chilling with this dude, especially after he pled guilty, is a serious WTF moment.
Chomsky has always been a piece of shit. He literally spent decades denying genocides and massacres, simping for authoritarians and extremists, and spread misinformation far and wide. I’m honestly not surprised to see him pop up here.
This is a pretty good summery of how genocide has appeared in his works.

Were they actually chilling together, or was this just written correspondence? Like letters from prison.
prepare for the wave of leftists and democrats connected to epstein and everything about the gop being scrubbed.
….
and, hot take here: how reasonable is it to expect everyone that knew epstein to have known the circumstances of him soliciting an underage child, or to know that it happened at all?
I’m sure he had a plausible story about it being dark, she was wearing makeup or some bullshit… his very short jail sentence would support any claims of “honest mistake”.
and while i know there was some press about his conviction, did everyone know this?
i’ve never run a background check on anyone i’ve hung out with, nor have i googled their names. Any one of my friends could have an old pedophile conviction i never heard of… i’d like to think i could just tell, but im not actually psychic.
i sure wouldn’t hang around after i knew.originally that was the problem with the epstein files being released. He tried to connect himself to as many famous people and intellectuals as possible.
now they will all be guilty in the court of public opinion.Who own The Guardian?
If the guardian is own by some oligarch with real ties to Epstein, It would make sense to push article on people with weak tie to muddy the plot
Aah… I see, I thought you were skeptical of the article. But you were actually expressing confidence in them.
I conflicted. The article doesnt seems to find anything really bad in chomsky and epstein ties… but then why does it exist then?
I think it is because Chomsky’s name has been associated with Epstein before this, and when new information popped they reported what is in there. Mainly how Chomsky remained in contact even after knowing the issues of Epstein. I think they did a good job of reporting it properly, instead of sensationalising it, by just explaining the new stuff that is unsealed.
The Scott Trust Limited, which is effectively still The Guardian, and was created to guarantee its financial and editorial independence. There’s a reason why Snowden went to them specifically to leak his leaks etc.
I believe he chose specific journalists, glen greenwald and a couple journalists from the Washington post.
I was watching a big documentary of Epstein yesterday that’s really good (Epstein Filthy Rich) and an important point was Epstein spent a ton of effort in his later years donating and intermingling and injecting himself into academia in a reputation rehabilitation effort, he was inserting himself into all kinds of orgs and venues. Shame on Chomsky for not being more careful and I don’t know what, but Epstein was real pushy to get alongside such folks.
Epstein was interested in Chomsky for some reason due to his expertise in linguistics, or so it’s been speculated.
It’s possible chomsky had nothing to do with Epstein’s nefarious and illegal activities.
We won’t know, until they RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
If Chomsky is guilty of some of the heinous shit, I’ll be right there with you to throw him and drag him under the bus. For now, we don’t know if he’s actually guilty of anything.
for some reason
The linguistics research that Chomsky and Marvin Minsky were doing was the AI craze of their day. The place they were working was called the “MIT AI Lab”. It was funded by the department of defense. Not hard to wonder why an Israeli agent would be interested in their work.
It’s obvious, that there are a lot of people whom had contact with Epstein and had nothing to do with anything nefarious. However, I think Chomsky and Esptein kept contact after it was revealed he was a pedo child trafficker. Not a good sign.
If Epstein happened to work for Mossad then I think it wouldn’t be a far fetch they needed someone to keep a close friendship with Noam, considering his writings about Palestine
I hope you’re right.
Damn, for real? I saw a documentary with him in it about a decade ago and he seemed cool at the time but these days it’s just one headline after another of him being a total piece of shit.
