US OFFICIALS are investigating the leader of an online forum where a massive trove of Pentagon documents was leaked.

Jack Teixeira, 21, is a member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, reports The New York Times.

He oversaw an online group called Thug Shaker Central where approximately 30 people - mostly young men and teens - shared a love of guns, racist memes and games.

Two US officials reportedly confirmed investigators want to talk to Teixeira about the leak.

Teixeira has not been officially named as a suspect.

He is enlisted in the 102nd Intelligence Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard.

We don’t know this guy’s personality. He may be an ego-centric, looking for adulation from his peers, a really immature personality who had no business being anywhere near classified information.

That would call to question his superiors who vetted him.

Looks like quite a can of worms.

I don’t care either way. I see information as important for ALL Americans to know. There are entirely too many secrets, making the term meaningless.

Probably had access to other user access via other means. That could be a wide net in terms of access, but there are ways.

“Q: Since when does a reservistget access to compartmentalized Pentagon data ?

A: Never.”

That question and answer are so overly broad that they are not true.

Compartmentalized Pentagon Data is a whole new category of intel. It’s so new that it doesn’t exist. And yes, a reservist can have access to just about any info as long as he has the proper clearance and the need to know.

“Our government has lost ALL credibility in near all matters.”


Like an intelligent reader of Pravda/Izvestia back in the USSR, one has to look at what is said, what is left unsaid, and exactly how things are worded, to try to glean at least a little bit of the truth.

Right now if the government is telling me it’s raining, I’m going to look for urine on my shoes.

This happened during the lockdowns according to Newsmax. He’d have been 19 then. Am I correct?

The intel leaks were vastly diverse and high level - everything from Uke troop levels to diplomatic intel, to spying on our allies and North Korea.

There is no such MOS, especially in the ANG, that could concievably “need to know” any of that.

Also wondering how a 21 year-old in the Mass Air-National Guard gets access to “Top Secret” info.<

Being a member of the 102nd Intelligence Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard and working the midnight shift, he likely had time on his hands and went exploring on their military server via hacking skills.

Again, you don’t know what his assignments were. You are generalizing. There are several conceivable and reasonable scenarios in which he could have had access to that information. You are incorrect.

I’ve held a TS since 94. I know what I’m talking about.

Has anyone addressed the contents? Are they true or false?

There are levels to this...first there are hand written text documents that were posted just to the Discord group. Next there were digital images of actual documents that were posted on Discord and migrated to 4Chan. Finally there were 'edited' versions of the digital images that got posted on 4Chan and Telegram.

There is also a lot more stuff than just the latest Ukraine war news that hasn't been reported on...plus the fact that the Discord group was comprised of at least 50% foreign nationals.

My understanding is that the information posted on the Discord group is the most accurate.

When did the FBI plant the leaker into the group???

More likely (imo) the leaker was being 'fed' bad intel without knowing it...but who knows at this point. Reality Winner had access to a database of intel outside her purview, iirc.

The WaPoo released an interview with a member of this group, who says he knows the guy. The kid was a minor and the WaPoo says they had to get his mom’s permission for the interview, which was anonymous.

And the FBI still doesn’t know which house to raid at 5am.

“A US Air National Guardsman has been named as a suspect”

Named by who? The tooth fairy? Why can’t The Sun tell us who decided it would be a good idea to finger the suspect before he’s in custody?

And that “online hate group”? Turns out it’s this kids private Discord server with 30 users.

I smell a rat.

Snowden was 23 or 24 when he started at the CIA.

Why is a 21 year old national guardsmen in possession of documents that are supposed to be difficult for people in the Pentagon to get a hold of?

Is there gross incompetence going on with security?

Was it disinformation?

Is he someone’s patsy?

So the military allowed a friggin’ 21 year old to have access to this level of documents? Something does not smell right here. I would think there is no way he has been in the military long enough to be entrusted with such information.

I was 18 with a Top Secret SCI. It was taken seriously. But I had a full background check done, at that time (mid-late 1980s), by the FBI. My former boss was freaked out when he was called to the front office to talk to the agent. Trying to figure out why the Feebs would want to talk to him.

If you ain’t woke you’re racist to the media

They look at us that way

Which makes me chuckle considering the pillow biters here over frank race facts or speech
