Law Noam Chomsky exposed in the Epstein Files and befriended Steve Bannon

[NadaRekowski]

I can't even imagine that scenario..........

There were always crazy orgies going on for powerful people. Romans had slaves that only lived by the cum they had to slurp.

I'm not shocked by any of this. It happened and will keep happening.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Wasn't the Tom Hanks thing debunked years ago? As part of a very clearly fake list that was just a list someone made in word including every famous dem they could think of?

Correct me if I'm wrong. If he is really on tons of the flight logs and in tons of the pictures like Donald J Trump is, he deserves to be called out for it too.

You're probably correct, gotta think it would be a bigger deal if Forest Gump really did something that questionable. I hope it's not true

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

the panic wrestling by the left as they watch their heroes, one right after another, getting linked to Epstein is amazing.

The 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.

First off, he only mentions weapons sales as crimes for ONE president- Jimmy Carter, for all the rest he spells out the specific orders of aggression and violence that they carried out.

As for the bizarre comparison, no, that's not how it works under international law. A state selling weapons to one that is knowingly committing atrocities is illegal:

As noted in an earlier article for CounterPunch, arms transfers to Israel—even before the ICJ interim ruling—violate customary international law, including the International Law Commission’s Draft Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts, as well as international humanitarian law, including Common Article 1 to the four Geneva Conventions of 1949. For states that are members, arms transfers to Israel also violate the Arms Trade Treaty, the European Union’s Common Position on Arms Exports, and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)’s Principles Governing Conventional Arms Transfers.

Carter's only defense would be that he wasn't aware that Indonesia was committing atrocities.

I’d say “the hypocrisy is the worst part” but Noam was never hypocritical, because he made no apologies and just threw a tantrum at people questioning his private relationships with child rapists.

Source for the tantrum described? Thanks

But you're right that hypocrisy wouldn't apply to Noam because he criticized the behavior of states, not personal friendships.

I’m sure you’ll say it’s not a tantrum, which misses the point that “none of your business” is literally the worst response one can give when asked about your relationship with a child rapist and using abstract logic about the US legal system and norms does not work for interpersonal relationships.

Yeah, "none of your business"... and the proceeded to explain the relationship.

So we can conclude that either a lifelong academic with literally zero allegations or rumors of improper conduct in 60+ years of public life decided, at the age of 88, to actually start messing around with minors. Or he had a lapse of judgment about who he hung out, seeing as how he's, you know, in his late 80s.

But again, none of this makes his analysis of power systems any less true or valid.

Sorry mate. Sadly that happened. Men are beasts if given power, opportunity plus certain personality traits.

 

[koquerelle]

Chomsky became a groupie because Epstein could get him to talk with important people. What a low price to sell your soul.

Yeah I already said there’s no evidence of that, I’m just dunking on him based on his past words and particularly his criticism of association with bad people (dictators)

I’m able to find the humor in that since I’m not a fanboy of his.

Not only is there no evidence, there's not even reasonable suspicion like there is for, say, Trump or Bill Clinton, given their decades' long list of allegations and rumors. Others like Larry Summers actually ask him for advice on women (lol), while Chomsky just exchanged conversations on... politics and science.

You're dunking on him because you don't like his politics.

Literally yes, he’s terrible and this is funny. I am laying it all out for you, and you’re repeating it.

Again, that is a different crime all together. Carter wasn't the one telling Suharto to massacre Timorese folks. He was enabling it, sure.

I agree with him on axiomatic things, but he is not Jesus Christ. Anyone claiming to know "how the world works" like he does is full of shit.

 

[Striderxdj]

Maga clowns will instantly believe anyone on the left simply rumored to be on the list but cant possibly fathom Trump being on there despite the fact they were best friends and the innumerable videos, emails, and pictures of them together.

"LoOk At ThIS EmAiL fR0M HaKEeM JeFfRieS"

Put all of them under the prison, left or right.

 

[Prefect]

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.

I don't really buy the Chomsky one because he has been pretty pristine his whole life. People get it wrapped in their head that everyone is shitty but probably half the population has not a real mark on them for doing anything improper.

 

[PBAC]

It's just another release of nothing really being shown or proven. We know Epstein hung with a lot of people already, but where's the dirt?

 

[deviake]

I learned a lotta good shit from Chomsky - hell, peep the "belt" - but unfortunately he's a scum fuck. He's had some lib views and I think his connection to power at least partially or in full explains that. I was braced for this already after finding out he knew Epstein, what, a few years ago or whenever that came out, but seeing him chilling with Banon atop more Epstein shit coming out still stings.

"It's a big club and you ain't in it."

And it gets worse
