This is my shocked face, that child pornography was found on a computer belonging to a high-ranking Democrat celebrity.
New York Times Columnist Paul Krugman Says Hacker Used His IP Address to Download Child Porn
By John Carney, 8 January 2020
Paul Krugman said Wednesday that his IP address had been “compromised” and used to download “child pornography.”
It would be nice if this was Trump starting to drain the swamp; alas, the more likely explanation is that the law of averages finally kicked in.
Krugman, a New York Times columnist and economics professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, speculated in a tweet that it “could be an attempt to Qanon me,” referring to the movement popular on many online message boards that believes an anonymous government insider, known as Q, is secretly leaking details of an epic battle between President Trump and the Deep State.
Please present your evidence, Mr. Krugman, for making such a specific accusation.
“Well, I’m on the phone with my computer security service, and as I understand it someone compromised my IP address and is using it to download child pornography. I might just be a random target. But this could be an attempt to Qanon me.
“It’s an ugly world out there.”

Krugman was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2008.
“I don’t know who did it, but it’s wasn’t me and might have been the leader of Gamergate!”
Krug is a perfect example of a liberal projecting his crimes upon his enemies in order to both get away with evil and justify his preexisting hatred. One would think that such a powerful organization of investigative journalists as the NYT would be all over this incident to protect one of their own. They won’t investigate because they know what they’ll find.
I should check that. *checks*
Oh, look! Krug deleted the tweet already. Maybe he realized that normal people don’t talk like that. Normal people don’t publicly give the world a heads-up that kiddie porn was found on their computer so they don’t need to worry if the cops show up. Normal people quietly go to the cops and cooperate. Normal people want the perp caught, not scared into hiding.
What do criminal conspirators do? They warn their allies when the heat is coming, because once arrests happen they all start taking plea bargains.
The tweet doesn’t say anything about his computer, so maybe someone broke into his WiFi router at home. This is an incredibly common occurrence and involves using a shared IP address. However, he would not know it was child pornography unless it was (a) on his computer or (b) the cops already came knocking and informed him.
The other possibility is that he doesn’t know anything about computers or the internet (as he has proven in the past) and his computer has a trojan. This is also quite common. He better not wipe his computer if that’s the case, because he’ll need that evidence to avoid prosecution.
Still to broadcast that on twitter with his blue checkmark…is ill advised at best and damning at worst.
As per Occam’s Razor, most likely he got an email or saw a shady website’s popup that said “your computer is infected with child porn! Pay me to make it go away!” Since those are fake, that makes him gullible.
Paul Krugman is certainly a turd in my opinion. He is an unceasing source of idiotic Keynesian economic nonsense. However I’ll give him the benefit of waiting to see how things turn out after further investigation. It seems like an accusation of kiddie porn is extremely damaging, even if somehow you were able to convince everybody who ever heard the initial accusation, that you had been completely exonerated, there is always that stain of association on your reputation, and people who will wonder if you really were 100% innocent.
Julian Assange was issued an arrest warrant for allegations of “sexual assault” on a couple under-aged girls, including two counts of sexual molestation, one count of unlawful coercion and one count of “lesser-degree rape”. How better to shut him up, trap him in an embassy, and turn people against him? I believe the groupie girls had done entirely consensual stuff with Julian, and only later were they regretful or turned against him by law enforcement powers trying to take him apart. And for an international man of mystery how do you keep track of the age of consent when you’re form one jurisdiction, the girls are form another, and you’re fornicating in yet another jurisdiction? You’d need your own sexual legal team if you were going to be doing crazy kinky stuff that may not be legal in all places, with young groupies. Julian actually denies the charges, he just didn’t want to be extradited to face them where the swamp could get hold of him for exposing their secrets. Who knows what the truth is?
I wouldn’t put it past Satan, “the swamp”, and their MSM allies to one day come after man-o-sphere figures with similar life-destroying accusations. Everybody wants an excuse to discredit your beliefs and write you off as a crazed incel, and an accusation like that would certainly give them that. Epstein didn’t kill himself. Nasty stuff is afoot, and has been for quite a number of years. There is a silver lining to being a small fry if the swamp begins targeting big fish. Things shouldn’t be this way. If corruption is allowed to fester, it takes all of society down with it. Soon nobody will be safe to speak out against the swamp’s status quo, if they can successfully set-up, slime, or Arkancide all threats to their control. Everybody claims they are being set-up by their ideological foes, but who knows the truth? Even the forensic labs regularly get caught falsifying incriminating findings. Who knows what to believe?

This is why I decided it was on Krugman and not the Nigerians. I once got an e-mail claiming to have videotaped me through my computer’s camera fapping to kiddie porn and demanding a bitcoin bribe. Of course it wasn’t true, my computer didn’t even have the hardware, but I didn’t go out of my way to notify the world.
If somebody had formally accused Krugman then I would have waited to see evidence… but watching him try to defuse a situation nobody knew about is different.
FWIW, he’s not a pedoface.
Gunner, Gunner, Gunner!
If you weren’t such a raycisss, the Nigerians wouldn’t be trying to extort that money from you.
They love me. In fact, the Prince of Nigeria is getting ready to wire a few million dollars into my bank account as soon as I send him back my bank routing and account numbers. /S
Just remember my birthday, Sharkly…
I doubt that Krugman is a pedoperv and would love to give him the benefit of the doubt. However, as a committed libprog, there is no way Krugman would ever extend such an act of human decency to anyone else with whom he is in ideological disagreement, so let him retch on a dose of the medicine that he would surely be doling out to one of us if the situation was reversed.
An excellent way to extort money out of the guilty…but if you are obviously innocent…there’s no reason to give money or broadcast it to social media world.
