But that irony may have a darker, deeper layer: Mother Jones has uncovered that Jim Watkins, the owner of 8chan and its successor site, 8kun, controls a company that hosted scores of domains whose names suggest they are connected to child pornography.
While Mother Jones did not visit the domains because of strict laws related to viewing child sex abuse material, internet registration and hosting data suggest at a minimum that Watkins profited from domains with names explicitly related to pedophilia—the very thing that QAnon followers say that they’re motivated to end. The domains’ names include terms such as “preteen,” “schoolgirl,” and “child” alongside graphic terms for genitalia and words like “rape” and “love.” It’s unclear what, if anything, is currently being served at the domains. However, an analysis of metadata collected years ago from one by archive.org shows dozens of filenames and links containing highly suggestive terms, including “xxxpreteen,” “children,” and sexual references to girls aged 12 to 15.
Some of the domains date back to the late 1990s and may no longer be active, while others currently resolve to IP addresses controlled by Watkins’ company, N.T. Technology, according to records compiled by Farsight Security, a cybersecurity company that archives historical routing data detailing relationships among domain names, IP addresses, name servers, and other digital assets.
Watkins, who some experts believe has an active role in maintaining the QAnon account on 8kun, dismissed Mother Jones’ questions about the domains as “an attempt to smear [his] name and print something awful,” offering varying explanations why they were on N.T. Technology’s servers. “We’re not child pornographers, and we don’t host child pornography, and we don’t condone that,” he insisted.
A group of anti-Q researchers that includes Aubrey Cottle, a founder of the online collective Anonymous, brought Watkins’ connection to the domains to Mother Jones’ attention. Another researcher, who asked not to be named to avoid harassment from Watkins supporters, reviewed the historical domain and routing information at Mother Jones’ request and agreed the records showed that N.T. Technology “hosted many domains with CP [child pornography] themed names over an extended period of time.”
Using a combination of open-source and commercially available data, the researcher confirmed that the domains pointed to IP addresses registered to N.T. Technology, and that the IP addresses were routed to the company’s network while the explicit domains were active.
One domain created in 1998 and hosted by N.T. Technology, which bills itself as “a powerhouse in the internet world, [s]upporting some of the largest sites on Earth,” lists Watkins as its administrator and names a separate holding company he owns, Is It Wet Yet Inc., as the administration organization. According to historical domain and web archive records, the domain has, over the years, been associated with dozens of subdomains—more specific and focused offshoots of the main domain—whose names combine terms like “preteen,” “kidnap,” and “rape.” They include a comprehensive system of subdomains referencing age ranges as young as 10. When asked about the specific domain, Watkins said “I have really no idea about” it.

I feel surprised, but not amazed.
They just couldn't admit that simply didn't want a female president. Pizzagate: false, Benghazi: false, E-mailgate: false.

Wishful thinking? I'd go further and suggest it's projection.

This one is half true. She showed up to the hearing in lenses as thick as a shoe sole, and replied "I don't recall" to literally everything like her legal team told her to. We hadn't seen those lenses ever again.
She got away with this one, the wrongdoing was found... But she wasn't charged.

It's quite unthinkable that a public official (the Secretary of State, no less) can keep all of the communication on an unmonitored platform, and destroy it when it is subpoenaed, and go completely unpunished. This had set up a very damaging legal precedent for our country.

What better way to divert attention from one’s own criminal behavior than to accuse one’s opponents of the same crimes (i.e., pedophilia, election fraud, et cetera)?
Weren't QAnon the ones claiming Democrats were run by a secret organization of pedophiles?

I'm no fan of Q-anon, but the above is quite flimsy. If it's at all real in any way, there's nothing stopping the US department of justice from investing those websites. As well as internet watchdog organizations. At the very least it would seem that Jim Watkins has some splainin to do.

Yes. They think expanding LGBT rights would be a stepping stone for pedophiles to demand expanded rights.

It certainly justifies looking into it further, although if it's cartoons and 'glamour modelling' that might change if it's criminal and lead to no charges but it doesn't change that it's for pedophiles.

Given 1 in 5 Americans subscribe to Q, that's an estimated 60-70 million Americans. Does anyone seriously think all of them are oblivious to the weird kookiness of their ideas around pedophilia?
I'm taking a wild guess that we haven't seen the end of storming the Capitol building and might see history repeat itself in 2024 especially since the biggest supporter of their crackpot theories might have his small hands back on the nuclear triggers.

I no longer believe the crap about the "satanic pedo ring".
Their use of the word "pedophile" is for the same reason Joe McCarthy used the word "communist"-- to discredit opposition.
As with being labeled a "communist" in the 50s, simply being accused of being a "pedophile" will result in permanent social pariahdom, even if you're completely innocent.
