Chomsky and Epstein: What the Evidence Shows
Chomsky and Epstein: What the Evidence Shows

"LAST UPDATED 2/13/26: Since first publishing this piece, I’ve updated the article to address the leaked “advice” emails, Valéria Chomsky’s statement, and Chris Hedges’ response.
The Epstein Files Cover-up: Botched or Calculated? | The Listening Post
The Epstein Files Cover-up: Botched or Calculated? | The Listening Post

The latest tranche of the Epstein files contains more than three million documents - the largest release of its kind. In what appears to be a clumsy attempt at a cover-up by the US Department of Justice, the sloppily redacted names of high-profile perpetrators have failed to conceal the intricate web of global elites spanning politics, royalty, Hollywood and tech.

Epstein, Trump and Mossad: It's Worse Than You Think

Double Down News investigates the evidence suggesting Jeffrey Epstein ran blackmail operations for Israeli intelligence, with deep ties to Donald Trump now being erased from public records. The investigation also traces Epstein's connections to former Israeli PM Ehud Barak and spy-tech billionaire Peter Thiel.

Sex Trafficking Prosecutions Won’t Stop the Next Epstein. Here’s What Will.

What can be done to stop another Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their network of people who participated in the abuse of more than 1,000 girls and young women? Right now, the U.S. right and carceral liberal forces (including many Democrats) are focused heavily on demanding that the Department of Justice release the grand jury files related to the Epstein case — as though this “smoking gun” will finally clarify everything and bring perpetrators to justice.
