A new film shines light on why Noam Chomsky formed a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. In the film, 'Chomsky and Epstein: A Love Affair', Professor Chris Knight, Senior Honorary Research Associate at University College London, calls the exchange of letters between Chomsky and Epstein 'love letters'.

Knight, author of 'Decoding Chomsky', sees a connection between Chomsky’s attitude to Epstein and his long career working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with people he regarded as war criminals because of their work for the US military.

Chris Knight is a political activist and the author of the books Decoding Chomsky: Science and Revolutionary Politics (2018) and The Revolutionary Origins of Language (2026). In this episode of Diet Soap, Professor Knight discusses Chomsky's legacy, his role within the military industrial complex, and the meaning of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

In this episode of Varn Vlog, we welcome back British anthropologist and activist Dr. Chris Knight, author of 'Decoding Chomsky', to discuss the startling revelations surrounding Noam Chomsky’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. We go beyond the headlines to examine the deep-seated contradictions in Chomsky’s career, his historical ties to the military-industrial complex, and what these scandals mean for the future of the American Left.
