Ramon Antonio Vargas – The Guardian Nov 22, 2025
The prominent linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky called it a “most valuable experience” to have maintained “regular contact” with Jeffrey Epstein, who by then had long been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, according to emails released earlier in November by US lawmakers.
Such comments from Chomsky, or attributed to him, suggest his association with Epstein – who officials concluded killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges – went deeper than the occasional political and academic discussions the former had previously claimed to have with the latter.
Chomsky, 96, had also reportedly acknowledged receiving about $270,000 from an account linked to Epstein while sorting the disbursement of common funds relating to the first of his two marriages, though the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor has insisted not “one penny” came directly from the infamous financier.
The emails disclosed on 12 November by the Republican members of the US House oversight committee generally detailed the correspondence Epstein had with political, academic and business luminaries, including the Bill Clinton White House’s treasury secretary Larry Summers and Steve Bannon, the longtime ally of Donald Trump. Further, they reveal Epstein and Chomsky were close enough to discuss musical interests and even potential vacations.
Perhaps the most telling of the Chomsky-related documents in question was a letter of support for Epstein attributed to Chomsky with the salutation “to whom it may concern”. It is not dated, but it contains a typed signature with Chomsky’s name and citing his position as a University of Arizona laureate professor, a role he began in 2017, as first reported by the Massachusetts news outlet WBUR
Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 in Florida to state charges of solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution with a minor. He served 13 months of an 18-month sentence and was released in July 2009.
“I met Jeffrey Epstein half a dozen years ago,” read the letter of support from Chomsky that was reviewed by the Guardian after its Republican House oversight committee release. “We have been in regular contact since, with many long and often in-depth discussions about a very wide range of topics, including our own specialties and professional work, but a host of others where we have shared interests. It has been a most valuable experience for me.”
It is unclear whether Chomsky sent the letter to anyone. Nonetheless, it exalts Epstein for teaching Chomsky “about the intricacies of the global financial system” in a way “the business press and professional journals” had not been able to do. It boasted about how well connected Epstein was.
“Once, when we were discussing the Oslo agreements, Jeffrey picked up the phone and called the Norwegian diplomat who supervised them, leading to a lively interchange,” the letter read. The letter recounted how Epstein had arranged for Chomsky – a political activist, too – to meet with someone he had “studied carefully and written about”: the former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak.
Epstein had – “with limited success” – aided efforts from Chomsky’s second wife, Valeria, to introduce him “to the world of jazz and its wonders”, the letter continued.
It concluded, “The impact of Jeffrey’s limitless curiosity, extensive knowledge, penetrating insights and thoughtful appraisals is only heightened by his easy informality, without a trace of pretentiousness. He quickly became a highly valued friend and regular source of intellectual exchange and stimulation.”
Another notable communication involving Chomsky and Epstein is a 2015 email in which the latter offers the former use of his residences in New York and New Mexico.
The emails don’t indicate whether Chomsky took advantage of the offer, whose particulars surfaced as certain officials are striving to investigate allegations of crimes by Epstein at a ranch compound he owned outside Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Interest in the Epstein case has surged in recent months after Trump – a former friend of his – pledged to release a full list of the late financier’s clients while successfully running for a second presidency in 2024. However, after he took office in January, Trump’s justice department declared no such list existed and said that it would not be releasing any additional files related to Epstein’s prosecution, igniting a bipartisan furor that the president sought to dismiss as a Democratic “hoax”.
Yet the pressure was enough that Trump on Wednesday signed a legislative bill directing his justice department to release more of what has come to be collectively known as the Epstein files.
Chomsky is not the only renowned Massachusetts academic to be ensnared in the Epstein scandal. On Wednesday, Larry Summers relinquished a teaching role at Harvard University – where he was once president – after his email correspondence with Epstein revived questions about their relationship.
A statement that MIT provided to WBUR and the Guardian declined to comment on Chomsky but said the university in 2020 had reviewed its contacts with Epstein. “Following that review, MIT took a number of steps, including enhancements to our gift acceptance processes and donating to four nonprofits supporting survivors of sexual abuse,” the statement said.
The University of Arizona did not immediately reply to a request for comment on Chomsky. Neither did Chomsky. Nor did Valeria Wasserman Chomsky, who is a spokesperson for her husband – and in January 2017 sent an email to Epstein apologizing for not wishing him a happy birthday a couple of days earlier.
“Hope you had a good celebration!” she wrote to Epstein, according to the emails released by House oversight committee Republicans. “Noam and I hope to see you again soon and have a toast for your birthday.”
Chomsky hasn’t spoken publicly since he was reported in 2024 to be convalescing in Brazil after a stroke.
You’re not a victim if you’ve got your penis in a 13 year old girl.
Gnome Chumpsky is a philosopher? He is and always has been a lying ZOG apparatchik
To these male swine, all the world is a brothel and a slaughter house.
Depraved yid Chomsky has been long deserving of getting thrown into the street, what’s left of his teeth bashed out with a hammer, force-fed wads of dog shit on one end while getting fistfuls of yarmulkes stuffed up his ass, dragged around the block by his ankles, then his head submerged in a bucket of pig shit until he stops stealing oxygen.
Lower the lawful age back to 14 (or maybe 16) and legalise prostitution again, and many of the world’s problems would vanish overnight, and that’s probably why the laws were changed on the first place.
In 1977 I lived opposite the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam a sex city pur sang…..sodom & gomorrah ( zo dom dat gemorrel / try google translate) above a vegetarian restaurant
The Garden/ my room had a view on the Spiegelgracht https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-spiegelgracht-canal-and-rijksmuseum-at-dusk-amsterdam-netherlands-125363542.html?imageid=8B0C1A1A-686C-4337-A1ED-5D0C8D131CF9&pn=1&searchId=3a83c452bc35389878240a2bbee23e98&searchtype=0 my reverse view/ the Rijkmuseum is at the end
I picked up a magazine of Osho on the stairs mailed to one of The Garden staff….& read an article before laying it back…subject the view on sex & its development in the human form in Tantra acc. to Osho (Bhagwan) later codenamed by me Rolls Royce Rajneesh….nevertheless O. has very good things/ stuff
To the ff ing point: from 0-7 what I now call auto-sex ( no not sex in an auto / or car)
acc. to Osho it should be allowed to the Infant / touching/ playing with its own genitals / in the Dutch language the term for “private parts” is “schaamdelen” / lit. bodyparts you should be ashamed of….. why is a baby or infant be allowed to touch its own nose etc but not …..in O.´s view it is depriving the Infant that comes from the happiness of Mommy & Daddy had of its own pleasure or even higher..happiness…extasy…bliss
7-14 is in the vision of Tantra acc. to O. for little Pete to jump on little Mary is not natural biologically it is a terra incognita…in other words in this ‘age stage’ call it with the latin term homo sexual / the Little Ones have discovered from 0-7 its own pleasure etc. has come at home with its own biological bodily pleasure/ from 7-14 it naturally will share it with its own gender ( again such a term of the bookish shelves)
From 14-21 the 3rd stage in Tantra acc, to Osho is blossoming into the extasy of hetero sexuality….. by the time it has reached its physical maturity naturally happiness or enlightenment is its moment-to.moment day-to-day condition….
I am a freak surround my self with other freaks (freewheelers) / was in the late 80’s in the metro in Amsterdam Central Station /a young Dutch couple ( man & woman/ you need to explain it these days) / the metro stood still waiting to start its traject & I said to myself audible to them…..” laatst zat ik met een homo & een hetero in the metro tegenover ons zat een man die kinderpostzegels verzamelde…….” Wat hoor ik nou / hoorde ik ze denken in 2 sec. / before they ltao…..
( roughly translated/ Once I sat with a homo & a hetero in the metro opposite of us there was someone who was collecting ‘kinderpostzegels’ child poststamps…../ I heard them thinking 2 seconds / do I hear that correctly & before they ltao…..
(@ Ghost who fucks…..it looks like you are going in the direction of the talmudick ashke/nazi – fake – j.`s / 14…..make it 4….or 3 ….count down to ….but anyway sex is a private thing so .uck the govt. + its footsoldiers (funny: infantry) / mutual empathy – ‘tanya’ as you will know the ‘holy’ book of the chabad / was in the 60`s I recall in the Netherlands a brand of shoepolish / you`ll catch the metaphor – is the law in private life….but imv there can be no natural desire of an infant to have sex with its parent(s) let alone some other grown ups….
Pedosexuality is – luckily not my cup of coffee – but every normal grown up will have the natural tendency to like / be fond of ( no sex at all involved) children & will feel the need to protect them…..from the big evil six o’clock news world…internet etc. has made the thing a hell of a lot more complicated….
Anyway every body anywhere
h.a.n.d. have a nice day
