...is it surprising that today we have become so morally blind (for wickedness blinds) that we save the baby whales at great cost, and murder millions of unborn children?
I was a low level analyst in the 80's and even I knew William Casey was an idiot. He was our leader of the intelligence community and he circumvented congressional democracy. I learned more about world affairs from investigative journalists and intellectuals than the highly compartmentalized classified information.

Every time an important leaker emerges — not an authorized one (i.e., CIA/FBI feeds the NYT or NBC) but one that’s *unauthorized* (exposing their lies) — the establishment playbook is the same: malign the personal character of the leaker to distract:👇https://t.co/reHgWUMlBt

Leaked military documents on Ukraine battlefield operations circulated as early as March Politico. 4/7, the first (Telegram) tranche, lead sourced to Bellingcat.

Leaked Pentagon docs show how deep US has compromised Russian intelligence New York Post (that’s “deeply”). 4/8, the second (4chan) tranche. Yves shows here that the likely source for the first tranche is Ukraine itself, painting itself (correctly) as weak, to either prevent the long-awaited “counter-offensive” or create an alibi for failure (and moar weapons). It occurs to me that the first tranche punches West, and the second East. I’d speculate that Ukraine’s goal in the second tranche would be to toss an apple of discord amongst the Russian intelligence services; perhaps the empowerment of a Russian James Jesus Angleton would be the happy outcome. Not that there’s much likelihood of that in any reality we know; the KBG has been highly competent for some time, and that includes the capability to neutralize moles, double agents, and such-like. Perhaps someone advised Ukraine to use Karl Rove’s strategy of “attack the strength“?
Accused document leaker Jack Teixeira comes from a military family WaPo. I used the headline at View Source. The headline as displayed is different: “He’s from a patriotic family — and allegedly leaked U.S. secrets.” And here is the original headline, from the URL: jack-teixeira-discord-document-leak. And the deck: “Online, the suspect in the breach of dozens of classified documents took on a persona seemingly at odds with his military career.”
Jack Teixeira: How did someone so young have access to such sensitive files? Sky News. “The day’s events were very fast moving and began not, as might have been expected, with breakthroughs by the authorities investigating the leak, but instead from a series of investigations by the media.” IOW, the press are spooks (at least the Beltway press). Never talk to the press, for the same reason you Don’t Talk to the Police (video)
