A Duty to Lie

The following video features a recent appearance by Col. Douglas Macgregor (retired) on Judge Napolitano’s podcast. In it the two men discuss issues related to the leak of classified Pentagon documents by Jack Teixeira, an Air National Guardsman.

I was interested to see that Col. Macgregor and the judge had come to the same general conclusions about the leak that I did: it was a setup. The documents were deliberately made accessible to Airman Teixeira in the expectation that he would leak them. The intelligence community, a.k.a. the Deep State, found it expedient to have the information become public, without its having to be officially released by the U.S. government. Col. Macgregor outlines the most likely reasons for the leakage, which align fairly well with my own conclusions.

A side effect of the release is that major military and government officials have now been revealed as deliberate liars about the war in Ukraine and related matters. It’s still too early to tell whether this will affect any careers. If the media establish a uniform firewall against any meaningful discussion of the government’s mendacity, it’s quite possible that everyone can skate by and continue with business as usual. Or, it may be that the Deep State decided to sacrifice a few pawns, and maybe a rook and a bishop, in its execution of a sophisticated strategy on the global political chessboard.

  1. I feel sorry for this young man.
    Based on what the rats in power did to Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, for example, the rats will destroy this young man. Mentally and physically.

    • I think he will be Epstein-ed.
      The cameras wont work and the guards were ahem occupied with something else.

      • He will end up in a hole at Fort Leavenworth Kansas for 20 some years and be forgotten until they pump sunshine to him right before he gets out.

  2. During my time in the USAF and the Army, I held a TS clearance and occasionally a higher classification such as CNWDI (Critical Nuclear Weapons Design Information) and TS/SCI (Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information) depending upon the mission or tasking. Access to this information took place in the sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) and access to secure computer networks was through special controlled logins and passwords. Of course cell phones weren’t allowed within these facilities as well as outside thumb drives.

    The age of the airman alleged to have been responsible for leaking the classified information is unremarkable; I was younger than him when I received my TS clearance as were most of my colleagues. While the types of information this airman had access to would normally not be available all in one place, I can attest to the fact that it is not impossible or improbable.

    During my deployments overseas I worked in coalition HQs in both Afghanistan and Iraq and due to my clearances I had a lot of contact with Secret– NOFORN information similar to what was leaked. Many times I would be in TS briefings to set up and advance Power Point presentations for general officers, political advisors etc. Oftentimes there were paper copies of these slide presentations, themselves on secure and controlled thumb drives. Many of the individuals being briefed preferred paper copies to digital ones, and the copies were supposed to be destroyed by shredding in special shredders or burning in burn barrels, both of which I had the pleasure of partaking in. Of course the destruction of the documents wasn’t supervised so it would have been a simple matter to take a photo of the documents before destruction if one was so inclined. And since that’s what the documents that were leaked were, photos of paper copies of PP slides, I am not terribly shocked by the way in which the information was copied and leaked.

    Regardless, the scope of the subject matter leaked says far more about the terrible security and sloppiness of the handling of this kind of information than the actual information in the documents, which to me just looks like typical products of a G6 cell. And it’s also a byproduct of compartmentalizing classified information in that one isn’t really supposed to ask questions or snoop in what others are doing due to lack of need to know. Which can backfire if someone has the balls to just do what this airman apparently did, since the right hand doesn’t know or care what the left hand was doing.
