My friendship with Noam Chomsky goes back decades. But, reading his friendly correspondence with Jeffery Epstein made me shudder. I know that Noam cannot defend himself. But in many ways, the emails speak for themselves. See my note: www.counterpunch.org/2026/02/03/o...
This is Caracas. These are the Chavistas. They say Free Maduro and Cillia. They have clarity. They do not live in the fog of imperialism.
