Such a fascinating development as it seems one of the heroes of the left Noam Chomsky had a decently deep friendship with Epstein. The interesting part to me was that Noam didn't seem to be guilty or interested in any of the sex with minors stuff, it was mostly an intellectual friendship with the article writing about when one time they were hanging out and discussing the Oslo accords, Epstein picked up his phone and called up the Norwegian diplomat involved in the negotiations.

"“I met Jeffrey Epstein half a dozen years ago,” read the letter of support from Chomsky that was reviewed by the Guardian after its Republican House oversight committee release. “We have been in regular contact since, with many long and often in-depth discussions about a very wide range of topics, including our own specialties and professional work, but a host of others where we have shared interests. It has been a most valuable experience for me."

It reminds me of the christian point that all human beings are corrupt and only Jesus could've been pure. We all have our temptations towards the dark side and Chomsky was communicating and praising Epstein for over 10 years since he has publicly charged with soliciting sex from a minor.

People are saying Chomsky is exposed because this was after Epsteins initial conviction, but Chomsky is actually being consistent on this. He was always in favor of a very liberal justice system and didn’t believe in long prison sentences or criminals being treated any differently when they get out. He also said he considers many people who worked at the same university of being worse criminals than Epstein because of their involvement in US wars.

Probably not all of Epstein's friends were pedophiles. Epstein seems like he networked with thousands of people in order to build an elite social circle. Doesn't mean all those people were pedos.

If Epstein worked for intel agencies, as seems the case, then it makes sense for him to have a large network of social connections for intel purposes.

I feel like that's an unfair characterization of the situation. If you read the article multiple people, Noam Chonsky included were well aware of the shady allegations and his arrest for underaged sollicitation and chose to ignore that in favour of the status they gained from being friends with him or in favor of the intellectual stimulation that being friends with an global elite provides.

I mean it's an interesting argument of moral relativism. Plenty of people think themselves moral characters but support wars where thousands of children are tortured and killed. I don't think it excuses being friends with a human trafficker though.

Chomsky responded to this, he said as far as he knew he served his time and was let out. 

Someone made a site so you can view Epsteins emails like it’s your gmail account.

Its strange he was friendly with Chomsky while also friendly with so many Zionist hardliners and Israeli politicians. Did he just nod along to Chomsky’s criticisms to maintain the relationship? Did he have no beliefs at all, or was Chomsky slowly convincing him.

The optimal mindset for pure power is to not hold any belief or value openly at all and always skew them to fit the occasion.

If Chomsky is indeed implicated in Epstein's sex trafficking ring, then fuck 'em. I don't really care what particular political ideology is attached to horrific behavior like this - you abuse children, you spend the rest of your life in prison.

That said, nothing that Trump's DOJ puts out over the next 3 years can be trusted, since whatever version of the files that we get is going to be doctored and redacted to hell to protect their criminal boss.

I see emails between him and Joshua bach talking about how black people are inherently retarded. They were talking about how to control the world and what races were specifically good and not good at.

It takes an unwavering soul and upright spirit to be a truly principled person in this world. Even someone who can believe so strongly in justice and human freedom like Chomsky can have their blind spots if the situation allows for it. 
 

Another factor that doesn’t get discussed is how powerful denial can be. Like, by all metrics Epstein was a fairly sociable and charismatic man. If you knew him personally, and he made you feel good about yourself, odds are your mind would come up with reasons to either downplay or avoid dealing with the severity of his crimes.

“Maybe he fondled a few younger girls, but so what? He just liked the opposite sex”, or even “Surely it couldn’t have been that bad? I’ve known him for years, there’s no way he’s capable of something like that. I better stop thinking about this, it’s too dark.” 
 

What Epstein did is so horrific it can literally defy comprehension for many people. I considered myself pretty willing to investigate the darker nature of reality and even I have a hard time comprehending it. Sometimes people just don’t want to face the truth.

He said he cant talk about this stuff in public because he knows what hes saying is racist.
