I had read the famous adress booklet of Epstein and Chomsky’s name wasn’t in there. But then he’s on the plane. No idea what relationship they had. Any statement from Chomsky?
Any statement from Chomsky?
He’s been pretty dodgy about his association. He responded to a question about it in this interview, which pretty much amounted to “He served his sentence, which makes him just like anyone else,” and then did some whataboutism…
When asked about his relationship with Epstein, Mr. Chomsky replied in an email: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”
In March 2015, Epstein scheduled a gathering with Mr. Chomsky and Harvard University professor Martin Nowak and other academics, according to the documents. Mr. Chomsky said they had several meetings at Mr. Nowak’s research institute to discuss neuroscience and other topics.
Two months later, Epstein planned to fly with Mr. Chomsky and his wife to have dinner with them and movie director Woody Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, the documents show. “If there was a flight, which I doubt, it would have been from Boston to New York, 30 minutes,” Mr. Chomsky said. “I’m unaware of the principle that requires that I inform you about an evening spent with a great artist.”
Epstein also had moved $270,000 for Chomsky, which isn’t a good look.
EDIT : Thank you for your comments. Please don’t send me more replies, as everything that needs to be said has been said, and is now starting to tread the thin line between anti-zionism and anti-sematism.
I still don’t get how he ended up in that position.
No, like seriously. Practically.
He’s a fucking left wing linguistics professor. Even if he’s a giant pedo, how does he afford to get a ticket to go to epstein island? If he can’t afford it, why does epstein give him a free ride? He’s on the opposite side to chomsky.
did the book sales for manufacturing consent get him that fucking rich?
His net worth is <$2M.
At that point in his career, Chomsky was getting invited everywhere because he was branded “the top intellectual in the world”.
People would see him speak and not understand a damned word he said.

It’s not like Chomsky understood anything he was saying outside of linguistics.
Chomsky is a Zionist which publicly supports the genocidal Apartheid and is anti BDS.
Most of Chomsky’s criticism is correct but coincidentally applies to Chcomsky himself.
Chomsky is neither a Zionist nor anti-BDS:
‘I am opposed to any appearance in Israel that is used for nationalistic or other propaganda purposes to cover up its occupation and denial of Palestinian human rights. I’ve been involved in activities to hold Israel accountable for its international law violations since before the BDS movement took shape. While I have some tactical differences with the BDS movement, I strongly support the actions and continue to participate in them.’
