Chomsky to Epstein: “I’ve Watched the Horrible Way You Are Being Treated”

Ever since the first reports of Noam Chomsky’s relation with Jeffrey Epstein surfaced, the media played softball with one of the godfathers of the modern left whose monstrous record included genocide denial in Cambodia, ties to a Holocaust denier in Europe and support for every monstrous totalitarian ideology destroying the West.

It accepted his claims that Epstein was just helping him move some money around and there was no longer relationship.

Thanks to the Epstein Files, that’s done now.

In February 2019—long after Virginia Giuffre went public with her sex-trafficking allegations and newspaper investigations put a spotlight on Epstein’s activities—the political activist and professor Noam Chomsky sent Epstein a message.

Responding to Epstein’s request for advice on how to handle his “putrid press,” Chomsky counseled him to stay silent: “What the vultures dearly want is a public response, which then provides a public opening for an onslaught of venomous attacks, many from just publicity seekers or cranks of all sorts.”

He went further, dismissing the broader reckoning with sexual abuse: “That’s particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder.”

…

Bannon counseled restraint, warning that public engagement would only extend the news cycle. Bannon, who hasn’t commented on his communications with Epstein, didn’t respond to requests for comment.

In February 2019, Epstein received the message from Chomsky, who also wrote: “Ive watched the horrible way you are being treated in the press and public. It’s painful to say, but I think the best way to proceed is to ignore it.”

Less than a year prior, Epstein had transferred about $270,000 to the former MIT professor, who said in 2023 the transfer involved movement of his own funds and wasn’t a payment from Epstein. When asked about his relationship with Epstein, Chomsky told The Wall Street Journal, “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.” Chomsky didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on the latest emails.

Will the Left dump Chomsky after this? Of course not. Evil is a selling point, not a demerit.
