Epstein collected intellectuals. He bought whole science departments at MIT, and kept a brothel of soft intellectuals like Malcolm Gladwell (imo definitely participated in some extra curriculars with Epstein), Richard Dawkins, Stephen Pinker (whom JE voted off the island (heh) because he wouldn’t corroborate JE’s eugenicism) and many others.
Norm (I call him Norm now) Chomsky is a guy who will just like answer any emails that come to him. He’s not difficult to get a response from. I think Epstein was good at handling intellectuals, and had a lot to offer researchers like Chomsky who wanted to know how to follow the money, and where the bodies were buried. Epstein’s connections and insider knowledge to the CIA, Mossad, and Les Wexner are all legitimate enough reasons to spend time talking with him.
This isnt to shift blame or culpability away from Chomsky, just to say that Epstein and associates had developed a concrete basis for power and influence among intellectuals. It wasnt just taking advantage of underage young women for personal pleasure, but all rivers seem to run into that sea.
To me though it really illustrates how Chomsky was really an ivory-tower elitist. If there was ever proof that left wing ideas only matter when they lead to taking effective action in the struggle for liberation, then Chomsky’s unrepentant associations with Epstein are a shining example. As if many of his “left wing” positions weren’t already problematic enough, he made sure to put on full display whom is the real subject of his work, and it isnt the toiling and exploited classes. I have some ideological differences with him, but thankfully we don’t need to worry about that. His actions speak to the actual nature of his ideas, so we need only gesture toward this photo as proof of how he demolished his own legacy, and how he doesnt deserve a place among those who actually struggle to educate people about the truth of our conditions.
May his work be forgotten. What a sad, pathetic man.
Well, as a leftists I think its just extra disappointing. Like I’m not a syndicalist or anarchist, he wasnt my guy, but he was a left voice. He was critical of imperialism and shined a light on corruption and injustice.
Like when Chris Tucker appeared in flight logs its like, “oh the comedian? Weird,” and maybe if I was a comedian I’d feel different. But CT also denied any actual associations. Chomsky’s just like “yeah he’s my friend, its none of your business” honesty is a virtue and all that, but the way he has attacked and criticized other leftists over the years, to see him defend this literal avatar of abuse, corruption and imperialism, is quite revealing.
But my personal orientation toward Norm hasn’t changed much. I had read a couple of his books but he’s kind of meh imo. Obviously a very hard working and prolific academic, though academics can be disappointing from a leftist perspective. I doubt he had much time or interest to engage in the kinds of abuse that made Epstein notorious.
I think Norm knew about the abuse and corruption, and definitely about his role in geopolitics. And maybe Epstein helped him out once personally in a way that deeply affected him. People are complicated, and Chomsky’s loyalty is maybe admirable, though such circumstances are speculation. But if I found out my best friend was hanging out with Jamie Dimon, Donald Trump, and Alan Dershowitz, as well as a cavalcade of notorious villains and literal monsters, that he had created a global network of underaged women who he exploited for sex 3 or more times per day, literally anything that we’ve found out about JE, I would cut them off immediately. And if I found out a different friend was hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein and was unrepentant, I’d cut them off too. That’s all I need. The association is bad enough that I dont need further evidence, personally.
I just assume anyone I see on TV or in the mainstream, is an intelligence agent. You never see a single person on TV that isnt completely insane. The first time I heard that guy speak, I knew he was a spook. They would never allow someone who wasn’t a spook to speak about politics or war or whatever on the news media.
There were some good journalists, but I’m not even sure if there is a single place in the world that an actual journalist could be safe. These days it’s usually the cops going after journalists and stuff on Trumped up charges like we are living in Russia or something.
Other than being a fuckin loser? I haven’t heard of any deep associations between JE and Dawkins. I have to go back to check what Gladwell’s associations were as it has been a while since I heard about their connection. It’s possible that I’m over stating his connection because I really don’t like his dumb books and he looks like such a fucking creep

Beyond this seemingly damning image, what other evidence is there of Chomsky’s participation in miscreance and deviant behavior?

It reminds me of this old Chomsky video https://m.youtube.com/shorts/AnFUWrjr25A
“I’m sure you believe what you are saying but if you believed something different you wouldnt be sitting here.”
Really calling the kettle on this
Do you think Dawkins is culpable for anything?
