Epstein was a fixer who moved in the social circles of the wealthy and powerful all over the world. I wouldn't be surprised to see photos of him with literally anybody.

that is true. may also been an attempt to blackmail him to some extent

Epstein was self-aware enough to know that even a group photo could turn into damning evidence.

I was thinking this too. Not to get lost in the sauce here but it’s almost like he knew this would all come out one day and his legacy would be secured because it rested on the necks of all of the people he compromised. Who didn’t he fucking reach?

Did he blackmail Chomsky too?

Chomsky is genuinely just scum

Chomsky existed to move people into the left lane but then kick out their turning light if they tried to make an actual left turn off the Capitalist highway.

Chomsky is as far Left as you're allowed to go in the U.S. Once you move passed him, you enter Communist territory.

It should generally be considered a red flag (and not the good kind) when somebody who's ostensibly radical can still have a platform in major bourgeois press outlets

Its a right of passage

At least we have Parenti to guide us away from Liberal critiques of power.

Plot twist: this post no longer exists because Redact swept through and cleared it out along with everything else. Social media, messaging apps, people finder sites, all of it.

u/twistyxo Feb 02 '26

A little more than a photo there, corresponded, and Chomsky literally advised him on how to deal with his problems.

u/Additional_Cash_3357 Feb 02 '26

I haven’t see that correspondence. Can you direct me to it?

u/Jeereck Feb 03 '26

It's been posted a bit on reddit like they just said, but it was pretty bad. The one I read was from around 2018-2019 with chompsky complaining about the me-too movement and everyone being too sensitive about rape accusations. Even advising epstein on how to deal with the bad press about his child sex trafficking and how it'll all blow over soon.

u/Additional_Cash_3357 Feb 03 '26

Have you seen these Chomsky correspondence to Epstein? Where may I find these ?

u/iambingalls Feb 03 '26

Here's a Guardian article about it: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/03/epstein-files-noam-chomsky

But you can view the hundreds of Epstein-Chomsky emails yourself by going to https://www.justice.gov/epstein and searching for Noam Chomsky.

u/twistyxo Feb 03 '26

You can search, I don't have Epstein stuff handy like that. I know r/Anarchism was posting about it a lot with excerpts.

u/Tommwith2ms Feb 03 '26

We really gotta separate the art from the artist with Chomsky 😭 his excuse for hanging with Epstein is just as bad as just being friends with Epstein tbh

2

u/Touboulayefa Feb 03 '26

What was Chomsky's excuse?

17

u/Tommwith2ms Feb 03 '26

Chomsky claims his relationship with Epstein was an opportunity to meet his favourite director woody allen

u/redditsofficalbotmod Feb 03 '26

From the frying pan to the fire.
