Tucker Carlson consistently ranks among the top 20 podcasts on platforms like Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. But the far-right influencer made a rather bizarre admission about technology on his show this past Tuesday. The former Fox News host claims he doesn’t own a computer. Why? Carlson says he doesn’t want the CIA to plant “kiddie porn” on it.
The topic came up when Carlson was speaking with his guest, MAGA commentator Saagar Enjeti, about Jefferey Epstein and the Department of Justice’s insistence that there was nothing more to release about the late pedophile. DOJ released almost 11 hours of security camera video this week, purporting to show Epstein in jail, but a minute was missing, just leading to more conspiracy theories. DOJ also released a letter claiming the only other videos held by the agency were child sexual abuse material, not evidence of powerful people committing crimes with Epstein.
Carlson said there were two possible reasons why the DOJ was refusing to release more information on the Epstein case. The first was that Trump was in the files, though Carlson said he didn’t think that was true.
“For whatever his sins, I don’t think he’s that guy, actually. I don’t think he likes creepy sex stuff,” Carlson said. Trump, of course, has said a lot of creepy, sexual things over the years, including repeated comments about his own daughter Ivanka. In 2006, for example, Trump said that if Ivanka wasn’t his daughter he’d be dating her. Trump was also friends with Epstein, and there are countless photos of the two men together.
I had a friend, now deceased, who many years ago worked for the CIA. I met her long after her time with the CIA. From her experiences, she made it very clear to me to never trust anyone in any government agency and that the CIA had ways to spy on people through television and computers among many other ways. I believe her experiences caused her to become an alcoholic.
I would not be surprised if the government could plant “kiddie porn” on someone’s computer. I am not saying for sure that could happen, but that I just keep an open mind to possibilities…
The same government that most of us don’t think could find its way out of a paper bag is now believed to be able to spy on us through our televisions?
Could it be possible? Who knows. Am I worried about it? No. Do I suspect Tucker has something to hide? For sure. Me thinks he doth protest too much.
Any registrant, or their family members, who have been put through the coal walk of our US Sex Offense laws which our legal system have shoved down every US persons throats by stating “We are doing this in order to protect innocent children” but then those same shouters hard stop on the Epstein files but still continue to mark those of us on our registry as the worse of the worse, with a scarlet letter “R” perhaps should take what Carlson says as somewhat credible.
What about his smartphone? Or the computer he uses at work or the one he takes with him when he travels? If the CIA really wanted to plant kiddie porn on him they have several options. Personally not owning a computer doesn’t make him immune
When a far right person such as Carlson says the quiet part out loud, maybe it’s time to start taking it seriously. They do stings with fake minors, follow P2P sites to bust people and put up porn sites to entice people to potentially offend. Whose to say they wouldn’t plant this stuff to ensnare political enemies. God knows they have enough of it just sitting around on files they sneak in to view after co workers goes home.
