Is is surprising they would try to bring down Chomsky by association? Epstein was a 'people collector' and looks like Chomsky got played.
He still spews facts

@Possum Jenkins imagine having a wife that looks at you in the way that Chomsky does with Steve Bannon
After Hawking, nobody else is gonna really shock me.
I'm going with the flight logs. Tom hanks already moved to France years ago I think?I just want to know the names so they can be made pariahs. If they can’t face justice their reputations need to be destroyed. They knew what Epstein was.
It doesn't make his arguments, logic, or analysis any less true.
In case you missed it:
But I know how tempting ad hominems are when arguments fall flat.
Well the serial killer analogy doesn’t work, unless you know what the serial killer intends to do with the weapon you’re selling them. If you did, you potentially could be held legally responsibleThe primary issue with Chomsky's analysis is that he indicts presidents for the crimes committed by those to whom they sell weapons. If one sells weapons to a serial killer, one is not legally convicted of the killer’s crimes. It would be symmetrical to claiming that France was guilty of genociding Native Americans merely because it supported the American War of Independence and continued commercial relations while the United States expanded westward.
That ultimately was my point. Chomsky claims that US Presidents are guilty of the crimes that are committed by people, who they sell weapons too.Well the serial killer analogy doesn’t work, unless you know what the serial killer intends to do with the weapon you’re selling them.

Yeah if course it’s not the same charge but depending on the level of complicity it can be almost as bad. For instance I wouldn’t really hold it against us for supplying Israel prior to 2024, but after they’ve gone full on supporting war crimes and randomly bombing neighbors that include our allies, I’d say it’s pretty damning that we keep supplying them.That ultimately was my point. Chomsky claims that US Presidents are guilty of the crimes that are committed by people, who they sell weapons too.
It is true that you could be indicted for enabling it, but that is a different conviction all together.
Yeah, if you actually read the letter he wrote, he mentions almost exclusively intellectual/political pursuits in common. The one "social" thing he mentions is Epstein trying to get him and his wife into jazz. Unless you think a married, 85-year-old career academic is going to perv around WITH his wife as well.
Chomsky's been a public figure for almost 70 years and has a grand total of 0 allegations or rumors of improper conduct. Hurting the feels of chauvinists and imperialists everywhere isn't a crime.
Besides Clinton who?Is it odd that all those people (less Bannon) belonged to 1 political party?
Even Trump was a democrat when he was friends with Epstein.
100%Besides Clinton who?
I'd say the theme is more elites. Epstein was a power broker
Presumption of innocence is not necessarily innocence.ironically Noam said that ppl who didn't want to experiment with mRna shots should be ostracized from polite society
i believe it but, innocent til proven guilty!
I don’t see anything remotely controversial in the post you quoted except maybe “burn them all.”Be careful. I said something similar in this thread and it got deleted and I received a warning.

Diddy rules apply imo: If you were at the freak offs, you're tangentially complicit with the sex crimes. And that's the most charitable interpretation
But they all went there a lot, that's enough for me to rate them to be scumbags
