Left-wing academic Noam Chomsky allegedly once wrote in a letter that he believed Jeffrey Epstein had “penetrating insights.”
The House Oversight Committee released an additional 20,000 pages of documents received from Epstein’s estate on Nov. 12. In a letter attributed to Chomsky, 96, that was released by the Oversight Committee, the linguist appears to praise Epstein for his “curiosity, extensive knowledge.”
In the same letter, Chomsky seemingly also referred to Epstein as a “regular source” of “stimulation.”
A representative for Chomsky did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
“I met Jeffrey Epstein half a dozen years ago,” Chomsky allegedly wrote in the letter. “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.”
“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,” according to the letter. “He quickly became a highly valued friend and regular source of intellectual exchange and stimulation.”
Other documents released last week by the Oversight Committee appear to show that Chomsky remained in contact with Epstein, even after Epstein had pled guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor under the age of 18 in June 2008.
Chomsky is widely regarded as the founder of modern linguistics, according to a biography on his website. He joined the University of Arizona (UA) in 2017, after previously working as a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) since 1955, according to the university’s website.
In June 2023, Chomsky suffered a “massive” stroke and was recovering in a hospital in his wife’s native country of Brazil as of June 2024, Time reported.
Epstein had set up several meetings with Chomsky in 2015 and 2016, when he was still working as professor at MIT, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) first reported in April 2023. When asked by the WSJ about his relationship with Epstein, Chomsky told the outlet in an email: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”
Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders notably wrote in a June 2024 post to X that he believes Chomsky is “one of the most important and ground-breaking intellectuals of the last century.”
“His insights have enabled millions of people to better understand the oligarchic world in which we live,” Sanders added.
Moreover, Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said during a November 2021 interview alongside Chomsky on “The Laura Flanders Show” that it was “such an honor and a culminating moment to be able to engage” with him.
Chomsky has previously promoted libertarian socialism, according to the Freedom Socialist Party. He has also made headlines as an outspoken critic of U.S. foreign policy.

Chomsky is still alive?
Chomsky. /eyeroll
Since Chomsky is the age that he is, it’s a wonder how they can even pay any attention to him as a “left wing academic”. Bet they wouldn’t do that for a Republican.
Well, he certainly was “penetrating” something....
I bet Epstein did, in every sense of the word. I hope he was buried in an asbestos suit for where he was going.
......Chomsky is widely regarded as the founder of modern linguistics, according to a biography on his website.

The University of Arizona (in my home state) wins again!
I once had a summer job working for a leading Organic Chemist who “retired” to UA after a long career at a leading midwestern university. That job helped finance my MIT undergraduate education. This professor had a large group at UA so was by no means retired!
Epstein apparently swindled many otherwise intelligent people. The Christian faith would immunize one against Epstein and those like him!
Unfortunately.
I saw Chomsky speak in the late 80s
As I remember at that time, Chomsky seemed to think literally every global war, disturbance or destructive event was orchestrated by Henry Kissinger.
His talk was basically dotted-line conspiratorial connections between events and people rolled up into one big complex hairball
Let the old coot babble.
IIRC these Epstein files that the RATs and RINOs are manipulating to fit their agenda are copies of the originals still being held by the DOJ. And are the first batch of three.
When the pictures and videos are released the real fireworks will begine.
Eyeroll, indeed. He was one of my nephew’s heroes after matriculating at Evergreen College in Washington state.
Yes, 100%. Your comment is worth repeating.
In his "order of operations" it seems Epstein above all played on one's pride and ego. Sex/lust was a close second, but only after he had already hooked his victims on the illusion of being "important," "in the know" and "connected to the real centers of power." Outright financial gain seemed to be a distant third.
So by “penetrating insights,” did chomsky mean epstein had lots of really good and available money?
“ Left-wing academic” = bookworm with a head full of nonsense and no practical life experience.
He should stick to linguistics.
What the hell do Chomsky and Epstein have in common for “deeply penetrating” conversations? Let’s see Chomsky’s investment portfolio.
As an aside... I met a nice looking woman many moons ago. I asked her on a date and when she agreed, I went to pick her up. She invited me in to her house. I took a look at her bookshelf and it was filled with Chomsky books. I knew it wasn’t going to last but, being a bad boy back then, I knew liberal chicks were easy. Sure enough. It didn’t last.
Chomsky thought the same thing about the Khmer Rouge.
“...Jeffrey Epstein had “penetrating insights.”
Not according to that MYPost article about him on here I read. Twern’t penetrating nuthin’ if that lemon story is true.
“Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders notably wrote in a June 2024 post to X that he believes Chomsky is “one of the most important and ground-breaking intellectuals of the last century.””
“His insights have enabled millions of people to better understand the oligarchic world in which we live,” Sanders
What is with Bernie Sanders and that word, ‘oligarchy’? Is it my imagination or does he seem to say that word a lot?
Should read ‘NYPost’ in my comment.
