Todays episode dives into Noam Chomsky, the 97-year-old linguistic giant and leftist icon, whos been making headlines not for new words or talks, but for a bombshell rehash of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The big stir kicked off last month with US Department of Justice emails dropping, exposing warm exchanges between Chomsky and the convicted sex offender right up to Epsteins 2019 arrest. Novara Media on February 9th highlighted Chomsky calling their bond deep and sincere, even planning a documentary interview, while dismissing MeToo as hysteria worse than murder. The Nation echoed this, noting Chomskys advice to Epstein to ignore venomous press like he did his own critics. On February 7th, Valeria Chomsky, his devoted wife and sole caregiver since his 2023 stroke left him speechless and bedridden, broke silence on ZNetwork. She apologized for their grave mistake in not vetting Epstein, admitting lunches at his ranch and New York dinners tied to academic chats, a 20,000-dollar linguistics prize check, but no island visits or crimes witnessed. They were fooled by his professional facade, she said, with Noam shocked upon learning the truth. Anadolu Agency and Middle East Eye amplified this on February 8th and 9th, framing it as Epstein ensnaring the couple. By February 9th and 10th, outlets like Philadelphia Inquirer and France24 piled on, detailing how Chomsky counseled Epstein on media storms post-Miami Herald expos. New Statesman warned his moral halo is shattered forever, though defenders on Countercurrents argue context matters. No public appearances, business moves, or fresh social media from Chomsky himselfhes too illbut the backlash is buzzing online, testing his legacy as Americas conscience. In the past 24 hours, no major new headlines, just echoes of this Epstein firestorm with potential to redefine his biography long-term.
