Chomsky's February 2019 Email: 'Ignore It'

Why was Noam Chomsky – scourge of the american elite – BFFs with Jeffrey Epstein, the personification of the worst aspects of that elite?  

Why was Chomsky giving Epstein advice on how to deal with attacks against him in the media, months after a series of exposés appeared in the press detailing the extent of his crimes?  

Why was Chomsky bemoaning the “hysteria about the abuse of women” to someone accused of having sex trafficked dozens of under age girls?  

At first glance all of this seems completely as inexcusable as it is incomprehensible.  Chris Hedges’ declaration that Chomsky was seduced by the pimpin’ jetset superstar lifestyle that Epstein gave him access to, seems to be the only sensible explanation.  

But when you actually read the relevant emails, and look at them in the context and timeline of the accusations, and of Chomsky’s life and contemporary events – things very quickly start to make sense, and what becomes inexcusable is Hedges and the army of posturing leftfluencers throwing Chomsky under the bus so quickly, without even examining the evidence first.
