New York Times reports on letters by Ehud Barak, Woody Allen and others written for Epstein’s 63rd birthday

The letters, written to Epstein by a number of high-profile individuals, were reportedly compiled as a birthday gift for Epstein’s 63rd birthday in 2016.

In one letter, former prime minister of Israel Ehud Barak and his wife wrote “there is no limit to your curiosity.”

“You are like a closed book to many of them but you know everything about everyone,” they wrote, describing Epstein as “A COLLECTOR OF PEOPLE”. They continued: “May you enjoy long and healthy life and may all of us, your friends, enjoy your table for many more years to come.”

    “What was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served his sentence,” Chomsky told the Journal about his meetings. “According to U.S. laws and norms, that yields a clean slate.”

    For a propaganda expert that’s an incredibly bad comeback from Chomsky.

      That is the exact passage that grabbed my attention too. It’s defensive, dismissive and a weak argument. Far away from the image he has cultivated for himself over the years.
