Now we know the deal with Chomsky.
 
Noam?
 
Nah, you can’t really know’m until you’ve been out to Little St George Island with him.

Acolytes and disciples of Chomsky, such as Glenn Greenwald and Vijay Prashad, are compelled to rewind the tape and re-examine the full record of his political influence and effect. A zionist in sheep’s clothing from day one, brothers in truth. It’s ideal to reclaim one’s humanity sooner than later, but better late than never.
 
Chomsky can, and has, gone straight to heck.

Morgan Macsweeney has resigned as the Starmer regime’s Chief of Staff.
He had recommended that the repeatedly disgraced Peter Mandelson be made Ambassador to the USA.
 
Detested by even some Blairite Labour jobsworths,  the Zionist/Mossad agent Macsweeney had little option than to depart from his post. Starmer would have had to sack him very soon anyway, to try to save himself.
 
David Lammy the deputy Prime Minister (who Craig Murray described as few months ago as possibly the most disgusting creature in British politics, and is a character escapee from Farscape) now claims he had advised against the appointment of Mandelson — but is on mass-media record enthusiastically adulating the appointment.
 
Mandelson the arch-manipulator now tries a “poor little me!”  act in blaming Epstein for having manipulated him, while Macsweeney tries to blame Mandelson for much the same thing.  All cobblers, since they were all primarily serving Israeli interests anyway.
 
Macsweeney and Mandelson played a leading behind-the-scenes role alongside Starmer in sabotaging the Corbyn leadership — thereby losing the 2019 general election —  and the expulsion of many Labour party members (especially left-inclined Jews!) on false and ridiculous accusations of “anti-semitism”.

Aye Chomsky is a zioapologist and no better than most of the intellectual academia that are the high priests of the Waste. The likes of Pinker and other such supremacists ‘evolutionary’ wishful ‘thinkers’. 
 
They lend their ‘authority’ and their acolytes on the controlled media reinforce the propaganda. 
 
Rewarded by lifetime of employment and stipends and prizes…
 
It’s a shame he is allowed to hide behind the ‘stroke’ diagnoses.  Many such afflicted are mentally functional but locked in by the inability to articulate or control movements. 
 
 
There are many new communication aides available to these who can afford them – Hawking was able to write with breath! 
 
Ignorance is no excuse, when so many had been talking of Epstein and most of the academics that Chomsky associated with would have had direct dealings with him. Dershowitz, the child sexual predators of New York celebrities, many like Chomsky from the same Talmudic diaspora … 
 
Nah, No free pass for Chomsky, his wife and family, his friends and associates, the sheepdogs and gatekeepers…
 
 What can we say of luminaries such as Mate, Greenwald, Bluemanthal … who have suddenly been forced to defend the guilty by association Chomsky. 
I am wary of the deep moles in British Labour movement, who’s scions have come out as deepstate stooges – as Hilary Benn, Dan Hodges, Stephen Kinnock etc. Every single friend of Izzyhell,  who signalled their true allegiances. 
 
They claim to be lifelong ‘Zionists’ – as Starmzy has said, as Yvette ‘Balls’ Cooper has and every fucking harridan and male prozzie of the British political class does. 
 
 
The current rehashing of the sickly Green vomit as the ‘new Hope’ for British politics is just more of the same. Pepsi to the Coca-Cola of Reform, just as fake. 
One doesn’t need to look beyond the German Greens to see their perfidy once elected. Who promptly declared their Russophobia and Sinophobia too! they supported their Nazi grandfathers and mothers and banderist sieg heilers proxy ukropians. 
 
Green meanies. They are Ziofascists; supporters of the illegal entity’s  genocide of Palestinians.  Like Chomsky and all who declare their guilt by not demanding the end of the Ziofascist entity.

The Big Ask
 
It came in the phrasing used by Fanto in the thread b posted on Feb 7 about the countrywide blackouts in Ukraine.  At post 56 Fanto said, ” I am not convinced … the epstein saga  …Trump’s method to wrestle down the city of london  …”
 
We are still in the pre-lent series of Sundays in preparation for Lent in the Orthodox church.  These began with first the story of Zacchaeus, a tax collector who climbed a tree to see Jesus passing through the crowd.  Then the Publican and the Pharisee last Sunday, and now the Prodigal Son.  It impresses me that all Orthodox come to gether, old and new calendar, to remember these events. 
 
Deeper and deeper we go into the darkness of the soul, and here in the epistle reading for today is what Paul calls the deepest depth:  “…Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body  …  Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you  … ? 
 
So, this is the story of the prodigal son.   And this relates to Fanto’s uncertainty, an uncertainty which is indeed the question of the day,  more than it has ever been in our lifetimes,  I do think.  Thank you, Fanto.

i just read this article – Was Jeffrey Epstein a “convicted pedophile”? – Michael Tracy
 
solely focused on the issue of pedophilia and essentially a very good distraction to all the other more relevant dynamics at play with regard to the epstein empire… sorry, but this article only qualifies as a cheap distraction…   
 
this article is much better on the financial aspect of epstein and significant as it entangles lutnick, who is presently a part of trumps admin.. as i see it, it entangles trump as well given his support for all of what has transpired since him coming to power….  ‘the hijacking of bitcoin’... 
 
this article is also quite good – substack  esptein, trump and mossad – it’s worse then you think – lowkey.. 
 
using pedophilia as the main and only focus on epstein is indeed a good distraction and i gather what those who want to continue to ignore the more significant gravity of all of epsteins role here, are hoping for…

“I never trusted Noam.” yeah, I never trusted Bob Kane either. never trusted Dick Wolfe. never trusted Einstein. never trusted the school principal.
Is Ronin Farrow a “state asset”? was one of his assignments to target his own father by adoption, one Woody Allen? among other public figures.
 
yes. 
 
is Woody Allen guilty of a crime? 
 
no one can know what individuals are guilty of when the state is running a massive disinfo and slander campaign, a la “MeToo.” a campaign that will result in criminal or civil charges, if necessary.
 
but that’s the whole point, isn’t it? No one is guilty when everyone is guilty, no one can be found guilty when the evidence is tainted by hearsay, rumormongering, and the purposeful manufacture of moral panic.
 
the end result is that the CLASS nature of whatever crimes were really committed is obscured. Individuals can be sacrificed, humiliated, disgraced, but the ruling class and its systems keep on marching.
 
but you make sure to keep that phony moral outrage going!
 
the truly despicable thing about the Michael Tracy article is his acceptance of a class system in which a 17 yr old just one day shy of 18 can flip burgers or fuck Epstein, if he wants something more than a massage. “it’s good money.” all these alpha males, the real pride of the lions, exploiting impoverished drug addicts some of whom are already “dancers.” yeah, nothing massively criminal about that at all, is there?
 
don’t these billionaires have INS employment verification to determine age and citizenship status? yes, they do. unlike McDonald’s and Target, the massage parlor doesn’t do age verification on girls who look like they are 15. The free market works!

That Chomsky, like so many others, could not withstand the lure of “the elite” is an indictment of our whole society. The system needs to be purged of elitism in general, but how? As a start, let’s stop selecting “leaders” from elite institutions: no more votes for any Ivy league, Stanford, OxBridge, Atlantic Council, anything/anyone affiliated with the little crappy state, etc. elite training centers. Pick normal high achievers who have made their way up the ranks: unions, businessmen, actors, athletes … gods help us, but we could hardly do any worse than we are now.

You know what his trick was?  He’d give you a pretty complete analysis of how twisted US Imperialism was to gain credibility and trust.  But, being a shrewd little Zio, he knew that the real question was: what do we do about it?  To that question, he would direct people to support the Zio dominated fake left of the Imperialist genocidal Democratic Party.  
Great analysis of the crime and then, with your trust, he sends you right back into the hands of the criminals.
Read anything he wrote and you’ll see this pattern all the way through it.  He was no revolutionary, he distrusted the working class and was not even anti Capitalist.  
He grew up in New York with a bunch of Jewish Marxists and learned just enough Scripture to use it for the devil’s purposes, to paraphrase Shakespeare.  He is just one of a hoard of ex left Jews that converted to fascist Zionism in the post war period.  The exodus of this crowd has left the working class without leadership and organization (freed them?) and the West without anything resembling a left anti Imperialist movement.  
Although workers have been disenfranchised and deplatformed by this development, it also presents a tremendous historical opportunity.  Finally, free from the crypto Zio influence, a new anti Imperialist leadership can be developed by and for the working class.

In bygone days/ boys and girls became men and women once they reached purity.   The billionaires club and the politicians preying on young girls though something quite different. and then there was the pre puberty children. Evil shit preying on the children and young girls. 
The Epstein club – the billionaires and the politicians. Many studies have shown that those that rise to the top in the games have a strong sociopath streak. With the Epstein files it is now apparent that the majority of those type in the west are also pedophiles and worse. For that class, it is about power over other people.

Good analysis but I don’t think it was only “leftist jews” who used this method. Dissidents and what I call “born socialists” here were always corralled by the method you describe or by being funneled into narrow causes (minority rights, women’s liberation, etc.). They were always somewhat pacified and tamed because the economy was good and many were stable and secure. That is rapidly changing here….

There appears to be a growing pandemic of people who ‘were deceived’ by their relationship to Epstein or one of his minions and are now apologising for their (often extended) episode of ‘poor judgement’.
Just this afternoon Morgan MacSweeney, chief of staff to Sir Keith Starmer, resigned his post after taking full responsibility for recommending Peter Mandelson as Ambassador to the US, citing ‘poor judgement’. Starmer himself claimed on Wednesday before Parliament that he had been ‘deceived’ by Mandelson’s assertion that he had broken contact with Epstein when the file dump showed that he clearly had not.
Looks like this form of words is the official magic incantation to be used to keep the compromised out of the briar patch.

I see more fiction’s being written about China. I was provided with the inside details of Dr. Hudson’s experience with China Daily for its article about the latest volume of Xi Jinping Thought and his permission to share it with the world, Dr. Hudson on Xi Jinping Thought: The Governance of China, Volume V. Directly related to that and what spawned that opportunity was Xi Jinping on the Chinese Financial System. And then there’s this very pointed view beyond the Epstein case from a Chinese perspective that says what’s not being said elsewhere, The Epstein Case & American Elite Morality: A Chinese Perspective. 
 
IMO, the few Westerners capable of reading and thinking are spooked bigtime by China’s resilience to efforts to halt its progress and the recent pilgrimage of Western leaders to China for talks and trade deals. The Wheel is in the process of turning and it’s possible to see why via those three articles. China’s system is simply superior for the reasons Xi provides. IMO, the fifth volume of his Works is likely the most important and is available in English.

Pure hell’ – Moscow on Epstein files
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has accused the Western authorities of covering up global child trafficking linked to the late sex offender
 
The Western authorities shielded Jeffrey Epstein’s child trafficking scheme, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said, calling newly unsealed US Justice Department files “pure hell.”
The DOJ published the final tranche of Epstein files last week, including 3,000 personal emails, tapes, photographs, and documents seized from his estate.
Among the documents was a diary belonging to one of Epstein’s victims, a teenage girl who alleged that he used her as a “human incubator” to have his child.
According to the diary, the girl gave birth around 2002, aged 16 or 17. She claimed that Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, now serving a 20-year sentence, oversaw the birth, after which the newborn was taken, never to be seen again. Other files suggest Epstein may have fathered multiple children with his victims. Media reports previously claimed that he hoped to seed the human race with his DNA to create a “superior gene pool.”

“I’m reading the Epstein files every day with incredible effort. It’s pure hell,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram on Friday, noting that the teen’s diary particularly shocked her.
“Why did his accomplice [Maxwell] only get 20 years?!!!! Why wasn’t an international investigation launched, given the international trafficking of children?”
Zakharova said Washington should have pursued Epstein more aggressively from the outset, including by alerting Interpol and Europol given “the scale of this hell.”
She also questioned why no criminal charges have been brought against Epstein’s clients, including former UK Prince Andrew. He was stripped of his royal titles last year amid scrutiny over his ties to Epstein and allegations by Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was trafficked to him by Epstein. Giuffre died by suicide last April.
 READ MORE: Russiagate 2.0: The West has rolled out a disgraced asset on Epstein
The Epstein files name several other high-profile figures, including US President Donald Trump, former US President Bill Clinton, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. None has been charged, and all deny wrongdoing.
Zakharova said the handling of the case exposes the hypocrisy of the Western justice system, which she said shields elites from accountability.
“It’s becoming clear: From the Kennedy assassination to the Nord Stream sabotage, nothing in the West is investigated – just like the Epstein case – when it implicates ‘global elites,’” she wrote. “Ironically, their crimes are now captured in photos and videos – and yet they claim ‘it’s not all that clear.’”

Yes, this is Tracey’s MO. He selects a particular example that supports his own narrative and then writes several hundred words on it while ignoring reams of contrary evidence.  We are all guilty of confirmation bias, but what convinced me of his witting dishonesty were examples like this one. It was common knowledge that there were *many* examples and many younger girls involved. This was reported by several sources as well. Yet Tracey pretended this was about one 17 year old prostitute. Even more egregious, he used prosecution for this “crime” as evidence itself that there not have been anything else criminally significant – otherwise there would have been other charges, right? Unfortunately for the Tracey framing, the original 60 count Florida indictment which was repressed and replaced by the wrist-slap was finally released (I think it disappeared again, but not after being widely downloaded).  In addition to the many other sex crimes were perhaps even more significant money-laudering charges, which could have opened the case up to a much more wide-ranging inquiry. 
 
Tracey did the same same in a smear piece on Whitney Webb, when he used the DOJ “investigation” of itself in the Florida decision as evidence that there was nothing more to see here! Otherwise the DOJ would have told us!
 
I could go on, but why?

I recall that it was Chomsky who opened my eyes to the US involvement in some South American country many years ago. I read one of his books. Manufacturing Consent. I learned a lot from him and although I sometimes later did wonder about some of the things he said I still am thankfull for some of the insights he gave me. Strange how everyone comes out to bash the living shit out of him over Epstein.

James @ 21
You are missing the main story. Here is a quote from the article you link to:
 
“There are around 3 million documents in the Epstein files and only half of them have been released. US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche made clear what they have omitted from the Epstein files:
Todd Blanche: Anything that depicts or contains images of death, physical abuse, or injury is also not produced.”
 
I read that as saying there are images of death in the unreleased files. And assume it means dead children. Just my assumption if you want to remain in the dark. Or something that comes out over and over again if you have been reading.  Please, this is not about Lolitas. This is about children. Lolita is the distraction.
 
What a broad public is getting from Epstein is they all do it. All the rich. Perhaps not every single one of them is a blood-sacrificing Satanist, every last one of them knows and has always known what their peers are busy with. Every last one of them will identify with their rich buddies and gives a shit for a dead child. I just said ‘broad public’. No hard number how many of us that is, it is a lot. A lot more disgusted and completely alienated citizens than there were a short time ago.
 
The rich can bond on the golf course or over cocktails at Twenty One. Or they can bond over a corpse on an altar. That is what the image of Epstein and 100% of his associates is now. It’s not just Lord Mandelson and Peter Thiel and William Burns and Noam Chomsky who are now pariahs. It is every last one of them. Perverts and freaks and satanists. There is no putting Humpty Dumpty together again.
 
We do not go on as before. If you want to cavil and parse and play verbal games you just went to the dark side.

whose work isn’t funded by the DOD? for all practical purposes, the educational system is part of the war machine. no one gets paid for questioning the funding stream. I remember hearing Neal D Tyson rationalizing his research funds from the DOD cuz he’s only in it for the pure science. This was at the Smithsonian, too. To participate in MIT is to participate in how it gets funded.
 
but there is a difference b/n a slave’s excuse, “My only way to eat is work with the DOD,” and an intellectual’s excuse, “My only way to get published, be a world-renowned intellectual, and then global activist is to collaborate”….well, these aren’t the same thing, are they? from my understanding, Norman Finkelstein drives a bus today (he is, or was, a big Noam fan, btw.

Why can’t women smile more when talking about sex trafficking???? including black women???? cuz they aren’t telling the truth?
 
the fulcrum article is good. they don’t start out necessarily as sexually exploited but as exploited workers. sex trafficking is but one part of global labor exploitation. Workers are slaves, and slaves are sex objects.
 
per Goog AI, and hallelujah for the free market:
“The global pornography industry is a massive, highly lucrative market with annual revenues frequently estimated to exceed $100 billion. The online adult entertainment segment specifically was valued at over $70 billion in 2023, with projections suggesting it could approach $118 billion by 2030, driven by subscription models and advancements in AI. ”
 
how much legal revenue in gambling? legal drug sales? illegal drug sales?

R2R: ‘They’re Terrified by the Epstein Files’

Dimitri and Rami analyze and discuss. Including Netanyahu’s latest trip to consult with Trump on Iran. Included also was mention that Laith Marouf’s email and channel were taken down. Seems to be a new round of anti-Zionist suppression going down.

Looking at the NC article on crypto, the author, does make a concession on the utility of bitcoin: Gov’t has authorized its use for the payment of overseas agents. Crypto is thus a means to clandestinely fund color revolutions, so the west does have a vested interest in keeping the bitcoin program alive. Whether or not this program has panned out to the extent that TPTB hoped, the answer seems to be a resounding “No” as in Iran after a failed color revolution/insurrection and now China who has cracked down on its use, alongside other new PM regulations. 
 
Could this be why bitcoin is tanking right now? Lack of faith in its utility to foment insurrection abroad? Perhaps. We’ll see. 
 
But my distrust of crypto is far more homegrown. It did not start with the tale I am about to regale you with. And it is not entirely due to the fact that I believed bitcoin also functioned in the last decade as a lure away from prudently holding a per centage of your wealth in physical PMs. My mistrust did not start with the above reasons. It certainly may have to do with my overall illiteracy when it comes to the financial markers. But this mistrust was certainly cemented in a meeting I had with an elderly gentleman from my parish. 
 
A widower, the hunched over man had told me his life’s work and effort had been in landscaping and the nursery business, something I related to immediately, having worked outside in the field for over 15 years as a gardener and arborist.
 
Months ago, he pursued me with a business opportunity. Being unsure about what he was describing, I listened politely, sipping my coffee and eying my uneaten donut in front of me on the round table in our Church hall.
 
“Sure we can meet sometime,” I promised. The details were vague, but a sweet man and a widower I should make myself available to. Perhaps it was an investment opportunity in a nursery business?
 
He caught me again recently, and I gave up trying to dodge him and agreed to visit his place that afternoon.
 
He lives alone on acreage in the hinterland but subdivisions are pushing up.against boundary. His arbirvitae were very overgrown and pressing against his old farm house. Tractor barn looked a little worse for wear. I knocked on his door and he brought me in. For a bachelor-widower, his place was tidy enough though crammed.with rustic knickknacks. I saw the computer was on. Didn’t think much of it. The internet had turned a lot of elderly people into chronic-users of the internet where breathless conservative or religious influences compete for eyeballs with sensationalist and reactionary claims about Papal-decrees or communist infiltration (I do note that the promulgating of Marian Apparitions has increased as a result of Traditionalist Catholics railing against post-Vatican II Papacies).
 
“But let’s get down to business.” This wasn’t about a business opportunity so much as a financial one. And not only that, it was about crypto trading. My back was now up. He showr me an excel sheet that followed projected, daily growth of his investment account. After an initial investment of a few thousand, you see immediate growth. And it becomes exponential in no time. All that is required is you must be ready at x and y time in the day to reinput a code the man “above you” will text you and…THAT’S IT! 
 
He continued to scroll down and after his birthday next year, his initial investment will have grown to half a million. He got choked up showing me. I looked at the pictures of his beautiful family on the wall. Teenage pictures but they were now fully grown and with children of their own. 
 
“I’ve tried getting other guys at the Church to listen. Jim laughed at me and told me I was going to lose my shirt.” Evidently, this investment group needs new investors. They meet at a nondescript office building weekly for pow-wows and they all cheer each other on during the week with text messages. 
 
His emotional vulnerability put me on edge. I didn’t want to say how he had been taken for $20k. I told him not to put anything else of his worth in this thing. He was never going to get his money back.
 
This thing was AI-based crypto-trading.
 
“Thanks, but my margins are super thing right now. What I do save I dump into PMs. God bless, brother.”
 
Apparently, SE Asian members of the Parish had recruited him. Were they Laotian? Cambodian? Thais? Whoever they were, they were taking a widower on the cusp of dementia. My blood boiled. 
 
Satan was in the room. Crawling all over my back. At least Amway dealt in actual goods!
 
I told my brother. He said to tell my Priest. I told the Priest. He said talk to his fellows.
 
I will. Hate is better than apathy. Apathy just makes it so you watch your fellows fall one-by-one. Sometimes you have to use the sword.

4hrs ago: British Prime Minister resigns over Epstein files (My comment: Barely if even half have been released and many redactions still in place. Yet not even a hint of a national level investigation in the US)
 
https://www.normalisland.co.uk/p/british-prime-minister-morgan-mcsweeney
 
At least the State of New Mexico is looking into an investigation.  Several files in the recently released tranche more than allude to murders and bodies buried at Zorro Ranch. Notably Bill Clinton, Noam Chomsky, and Alan Dershowitz (among many others) documented to have visited for short and long stays, despite previous denials.

Someone projects “G O P Guardians of Pedophiles” onto the wall of a building at a busy intersection. Hilarious.

Take with a grain, maybe boulder, of salt. The Biblical verses in the Epstein files that nobody’s talking about:

Wide ranging, but germane, recent interview of Aaron Good (author of “American Exception” which I highly recommend to anyone on either side of the fake left/right mainstream American or British political divide) by Kit Klarenberg and Alexander McKay. An excellent and detailed conversation covering everything from the JFK assassination to Jeffrey Epstein from the angle of the tripartite and deep states.
