Massachusetts Air National Guardsman at center of ‘digileaks’ scandal revealed as Jack Teixeira

Samuel Chamberlain and

(Utter Bullshit and Set Up, as Kash said)

The head of a Discord group where a trove of sensitive US intelligence documents were posted online has been identified as a MassachusettsAir National Guardsman named Jack Teixeira, according to a new report.

The New York Times first reported Teixeira’s identity Thursday, adding that investigators want to talk to the 21-year-old about the leak and say that he may have information relevant to the investigation.

Separately, the Wall Street Journal reportedthat an arrest in the case could happen as soon as Thursday.

The outlet also reported that ==Teixeira was stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina•=.

Federal investigators have yet to identify Teixeira, or anyone else, as a suspect in the case.

The fast-moving developments followed a report by the Washington Post late Wednesday that the classified files had been shared to a Discord channel called “Thug Shaker Central,” made up of two dozen online pals who regularly discussed guns, video games and racist memes.

The outlet reported Thursday that Teixeira was known to channel members by the handle “jackthedripper.”

The Times also reported that details of the interior of Teixeira’s childhood home from pictures posted to social media appear to match items identified in the background of some of the photographed secret documents.

Images of the classified documents reviewed by The Post indicate they are copies of briefing slides that were photographed while laid out on a desk or table before being shared online.

In at least two photographs, a brochure with apparent information about a rifle scope can be seen. A package of Gorilla Glue was also spotted in another photograph.

The classified documents were first posted in the group’s Discordchat last year, according to some members. (The incompetence of the FBI and Military Intelligence is mind blowing if they with all the AI they have scanning the web and especially Discord never found them since last year???This is what tells you this whole thing is a fucking lie due the incompetence of the Pentagon!)

On Feb. 28, another member then reposted the documents to another Discord channel linked to YouTuber “wow_mao.”

A member of that channel in turn posted some of them on March 4 to the even larger channel “Minecraft Earth Map.”

After spreading like wildfire through the internet, documents tied to the Ukraine war started turning up on Russian Telegram channels last week – sparking a federal investiation into how the materials were leaked and by who.

On Thursday morning, President Biden told reporters in Ireland that federal investigators were “close” to uncovering the leaker’s identity.

Members of Thug Shaker Central told the Times that the person who leaked the materials to their chat was their undisputed leader and often referred to as the “OG”, though they declined to identify him by name.

At least one of the members said the leaker had access to the intelligence materials through his work. (Seriously a military personnel with TS clearance is stupid enough to leak TS docs on Discord? No possible way!)

Several of them, however, insisted thatthe leaker wasn’t a whistleblowerand had never meant for the documents to be shared anywhere other than their online chat.

“This guy was a Christian, anti-war, just wanted to inform some of his friends about what’s going on,” one member told the paper. “We havesome people in our group who are in Ukraine. We like fighting games, we like war games.” (Even this sounds like terrible bullshit!)

(NYP and other post this guys picture, name and location when fed investigators have not identified anyone! Lawsuit coming)

NYTs gets this guy arrested

Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira arrested in US intel leaks

By Ben Kesslen

April 13, 2023 2:32pm Updated

Massachusetts Air National GuardsmanJack Teixeira was arrested at his home Thursdayafter being implicated in the leak of dozens of sensitive US intelligence documents — the biggest national security breach in at least 10 years.

Law enforcement officers swarmedthe home in North Dighton, Mass. about 20 miles east of Providence, RI hours after the New York Times reported that investigators wanted to speak with Teixeira, who was reportedly stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

The classified pages were disseminated after being posted on a Discord channel linked to YouTuber “wow_mao” and quickly spread when a member of that channel posted some of them to a bigger channel called “Minecraft Earth Map.”

Sensitive information relating to the war in Ukraine, Israel and South Korea was leaked, sparking international concern.

White House spokesman John Kirby said Monday that the documents, which seem to indicate the US is surveilling its close allies, are “doctored.”

“Without confirming the validity of the documents, this is information that has no business in the public domain. It has no business, if you don’t mind me saying, on the pages of — the front pages of newspapers or on television,” he said.” It is not intended for public consumption, and it should not be out there.”

The files had initially been shared last year on a discord channel Teixeira appeared to run called “Thug Shaker Central,” made up of two dozen people who regularly discussed guns, video games and racist memes.

The Washington Post reported that Teixeira was known to channel members by the handle “jackthedripper.”

One member of the original channel told the New York Times the leaker “was a Christian, anti-war, just wanted to inform some of his friends about what’s going on,” and had access to the documents through work. “We have some people in our group who are in Ukraine. We like fighting games, we like war games.”

Arrest made in San Francisco murder of Cash App founder Bob Lee

Ben Kesslen and

Afellow tech workerwas arrested Thursday in the slaying of Cash App founder Bob Lee on the streets of San Francisco, according to local reports.

The dad of two, 43, was stabbed just after 2:30 a.m. April 4 in the ritzy neighborhood of Rincon Hill and Lee allegedly knew his killer, Mission Local reported.

The suspect is said to have been driving through the city with Lee when they had some kind of confrontation, which resulted in the tech mogul exiting the vehicle, according to Mission Local’s sources.

Their altercation continued and Lee was fatally stabbed by the suspect on a quiet street, according to the outlet, citing police sources. The knife used was also reportedly recovered from the scene, which was close to the hotel where Lee was staying.

The motive for the apparent murder is unknown and The Post has reached out to San Francisco police for further information.

Tragic security video — which has not been publicly released — shows thedying entrepreneur walking up to a carwith its hazards flashing and lifting his shirt to the driver to show he was severely injured.

The car drove off without helping and Leecollapsed to the ground in the footage, according to various local outlets who had viewed the video.

It is not clear if the red car Lee approached in the video was the one driven by the suspect, or another passing vehicle.

Lee, who has two young daughters, called 911 himself, telling them he’d been stabbed and needed help. By the time cops arrived, he was unconscious and later succumbed to his injuries from the slashing at the hospital.

A friend of Lee said the tech mogul, who had most recentlyworked for cryptocurrency startup MobileCoin, recently moved to Miami because he felt San Francisco was “deteriorating.”

“He was in the ‘good’ part of the city and appeared to have been targeted in a random mugging/attack,” his friend, mixed martial arts champion Jake Shields, tweeted shortly after the murder.

However, police were hesitant to give a description of any suspect or details of their investigation following the slaying.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed told ABC News of the case this week< “When some of the facts … come out, people are going to be surprised,” while also cautioning against “people jumping to conclusions” in cases such as this, because the city has many high-crime areas.

Rick Lee penned a heartbreaking tribute to his son on Facebook Wednesday, calling him his “best friend.”

“Bob would give you the shirt off his back,” the grieving dad wrote. “He would never look down on anyone and adhered to a strict no-judgment philosophy.”

Trump raises fist before deposition, calls NY AG Letitia James’ lawsuit ‘ridiculous’

By Jesse O’Neill and Priscilla DeGregory

April 13, 2023 11:21am Updated

Former PresidentDonald Trump repeated his claim that Albany’s top prosecutor is “racist” — and that her lawsuit against him is “ridiculous” — before being deposed in connection with a $250 million civil case Thursday morning.

=Trump, 76, was back in Manhattan eight days after being charged with 34 felonies to testify in connection with accusations that he and three of his children overvalued his assets by billions of dollars to get favorable loans. (Remember every NYP article mentions his age except Miranda Devine, and maybe other Trump supporters there.)

The current Republican contender for president took to Truth Social to issue a bitter attack on New York Attorney General Letitia James hours before his expected deposition.

“I will be heading downtown to meet with a Racist who leaked that I would be there at 9:30 A.M.,” Trump wrote. “The leak makes it much more difficult for the Police and Secret Service to do their job. This civil case is ridiculous, just like all of the other Election Interference cases being brought against me. If I had a fair judge, this case would have never happened. MAGA!” (This is big freakin deal leaking this info!)

James’ office declined to issue a comment on Trump’s missive. It had not been previously reported what specific time Trump was expected to be deposed.

Trump had already sat for a deposition in the civil case last year, taking the Fifth Amendment hundreds of times. A statement from his lawyer indicated Trump was set to use a different tactic this time.

“President Trump is not only willing but also eager to testify before the Attorney General today. He remains resolute in his stance that he has nothing to conceal, andhe looks forward to educating the Attorney Generalabout the immense success of his multi-billion dollar company,” Alina Habba said.

Last year, Trump was held in contempt of court and fined $10,000 a day by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron for failing to turn over documents in the case.

The Trump Organization was fined $1.6 million for tax fraud in Manhattan earlier this year, in a case that did not personally implicate the former president. Former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg was sentenced to five months on Rikers Island in connection with the case.

Trump was photographed raising his fist as he left his Manhattan apartment Thursday morning to testify under oath, using asign of defiance heavily associated with black power movements. (WTF???)

The candidate is under multiple other federal and local criminal cases tied to his alleged efforts to interfere with the 2020 election and hoard classified documents.

The Constitution would not bar Trump from running for president even if he were convicted and sentenced to prison, and the embattled candidate said earlier this week he had no plans to abandon his third consecutive bid for the White House.

BTW it came out with Julie Kelly on Bannon this am,people under Chris Miller at DOD were involved in planning the J6 hoax. Neither Miller or Kash knew

Yes finally he gets his karma! Or is he going to Gitmo with others in the Senate

Please don’t, pray for the victim

Yes, when one goes into a scif, no phones, no nothing, must be left outside to be let in. They really think the country is that stupid to believe this nonsense. How’d he take pictures or write notes, he didn’t

>>18689447

I remember that, so was IT arrested for leaving it open.

The story is utter bullshit, the most incompetent DOD and Pentagon, its sickening

>>18689449

Think about this, supposedly released on Discord last year but all the AI that NSA, FBi and DOD use to scan the web misses docs on Discord for months. This itself is ridiculous. They can find a person in AK that supposedly went to J6 but they can’t find the release of TS documents for 3-5 months. This whole story just makes Americans believe they cant protect the country.

NSA picks up everything

>>18689436

They know who leaked it. The SC won’t release the name of the Justice that did it

>>18689455

Are you saying the guy was nog killed or it was a fellow tech worker? Kash said it was some guy dragging a bag after him after he killed him. Almost every story coming out now is perverse psyops

>>18689463

Hmm interesting

>>18689605

Ok thats been around from the start of the war, propaganda. Too bad he’s bad ass and he will defeat it, if it exists. He thinks of cancer as Ukraine so he’s killing it with his mind. Even if he had it.

Chinese ‘carrier killer’ missile worries US – WaPo

The Pentagon leaks have revealed Washington’s concerns over a hypersonic-capable weapon

A new Chinese missile may be able to reach the Pacific island of Guam, making it more difficult for US forces based there to intervene on behalf of Taiwan, a Washington Post columnist claimed on Thursday. The article cited an “overlooked” revelation in one of the classified documents leaked from the Pentagon. (WAPO is pathetic)

“China is quickly improving its capacity to strike thousands of miles from its shores and prevent the United States from intervening,” wrote Josh Rogin, citing the conclusions of US intelligence agencies.

The document Rogin is referring to is a report by the Joint Chiefs of Staff intelligence directorate, marked top secret and dated February 28. It briefs the generals on the February 25 test of the new “hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile,” dubbed DF-17 (Dongfeng, ‘East Wind’).

The briefing says that DF-17 has a “high probability of penetrating” US missile defenses and is designed to reach targets beyond the Second Island Chain, a Pentagon term for a line in the Pacific stretching from Japan to New Guinea.

The test involved the missile traveling a distance of 2,100 kilometers (1,305 miles) over 12 minutes, but a 2021 Pentagon assessment believes DF-17 may have a range of up to 8,000 kilometers (4,970 miles). The new missile also has “hypersonic glide” capability, making it a better “carrier killer” than its predecessors, Rogin noted.

“If American ships can be held at bay and US forces in Asia can be targeted at will, any allied intervention in Taiwan’s defense would be more difficult and costly,” Rogin wrote. (Oh this article is US is signaling to China the are backing down)

The self-described “neoliberal” columnist and CNN political analyst argued that “peace in Asia depends on maintaining the ==credibility of the United States-led deterrent=.” The US and its allies, Rogin wrote, need to “shift resources to nullify the new threat and shore up their ability to protect their assets.” How exactly that might be achieved, however, he did not say.

The US government has not officially confirmed the authenticity of the leaked documents, and has launched a manhunt for their source. Most of the initially released files dealt with the Ukraine conflict, while subsequent revelations expanded their scope. Israeli and South Korean officials have already denounced some of the claims in the documents as false.

Musk pushes Twitter into finance

The social network’s new partnership with an online brokerage will allow stock and crypto trading

Twitter has partnered with trading andinvesting platform eToroto offer platform users access to real-time prices for cryptocurrencies, stocks and other assets, and to enable the trading of those instruments.

According to eToro’s statement on Thursday, the trading data will be available through Twitter's cashtags feature, which was rolled out in 2012, allowing users to interact with content around an asset by inserting a dollar sign in front of the ticker.

With the eToro partnership, Twitter cashtags will be expanded to cover far more instruments and asset classes, an eToro spokesperson reportedly told CNBC.

Twitter users will also be able to click a button that says “view on eToro,” to get information about the asset and decide whether to invest.

“As we’ve grown over the past three years immensely, we’ve seen more and more of our users interact on Twitter [and] educate themselves about the markets,” eToro’s Chief Executive, Yoni Assia, said in an interview with CNBC.

“There is very high-quality content, real-time content on financial analysis of companies and what’s happening around the world. We believe this partnership will enable us to reach those new audiences [and] connect better the brands of Twitter and eToro,” the CEO said.

Elon Musk, who acquired Twitter for $44 billion last year and brought a range of changes to the company, is aiming to turn the microblogging platform into a so-called “super app” that would offer users various services such as instant messaging, banking and travel.

The billionaire revealed last monthhe wants Twitter to become “the biggest financial institution in the world.”

According to a court filing, he has changed the corporate name of Twitter to X Corp aftermerging with a shell companyof that name

New York mayor appoints ‘rat czar’

Mayor Eric Adams’ rodent crackdown comes after rat sightings doubled under his watch

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has named the Big Apple’s first ever “rat czar.” The mayor has long promised to bring down the city’s booming rat population, but their numbers have swelled under his tenure.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Adams namedKathleen Corradi as the city’s new ‘Director of Rodent Mitigation’, or “rat czar.” According to a press release from the mayor’s office, Corradi will serve as the public face of Adams’ rodent reduction efforts, and will liaise between New York’s existing rat experts in the departments of Sanitation, Health, and Parks and Recreation.

Calling Corradi a “maestro,” Adams claimed that his newratcatcher-generalwill implement “new technologies to detect and exterminate rat populations” and try “innovative ways to cut off rats’ food sources.”

New York’s rat population has soared under Adams’ tenure, withsightings doublingbetween 2021 and 2022. While Adams’ office has blamed the increase on the fact that more inspections took place last year than the year before, hisopponents say that cutbacks to garbage collectionduring the coronavirus pandemic triggered the population boom.

Adams has since limited the amount of time trash cans can sit on the sidewalk without being picked up, and on Wednesday announced the creation of a ‘Harlem Rat Exclusion Zone’ in which buildings will be rat-proofed and more traps laid down.

Despite the fanfare, Corradi won’t actually be wading into rodent dens or leading hungry terriers into infested basements. The new czar has abackground in teaching, rather than pest control, and previously served as a planning director for the city’s department of education in the borough of Queens. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, she said that she favored “humane” methods of rat controland would bring “a science- and systems-based approach to fight rats.” (Too bad they don’t treat humans with humane conditions!)

New York City is home to an estimated two million rats, according to a 2014 study. Previous administrations have attempted to solve the problem with limited success, and Corradi’s title is a nod to the “rat czar”nickname given to Deputy Mayor Joseph Lhota, who was appointed by Rudy Giuliani to “eradicate rats” in 2000.

For all of Adams’ talk,he hasn’t been able to fix a rat infestation in his own backyard. After themayor was fined at least four timesby the city for failing to control the creatures in his Brooklyn apartment, his political rival Curtis Sliwa publicly offered to lend Adams one of his cats earlier this year.

“He’s tried everything,” Sliwa said. “But it’s time that we revert to the best measure that’s ever worked.And that’s cats.” (Yes add cats that get rabies, that should work!)

EU will return frozen Russian reserves – Welt

The German media outlet, citing an internal document, claims that bloc officials know they can’t keep the money, or divert it to Ukraine

The European Commission has concluded that itwill almost certainly have to eventually hand back frozen Russian central bank reserves, Die Welt reported on Thursday.

The German newspaper, citing anunpublished internal document, suggests that this may happen when the conflict with Ukraine ends. Kiev has called for the funds to be used for its post-war reconstruction.

According to the article, while top EU officials, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, have publicly supported the idea of giving the money to Ukraine, this would prove difficult to implement in practice and is likely “doomed to fail” for a number of reasons.

For example, the frozen reserves of the Russian central bank, which are believed tototal €300 billion, are spread throughout Europe and deposited in numerous accounts, often withno direct link to Moscow, Die Welt explained, citing anonymous “insiders familiar with the EU's plans.”

As a result, Brussels has no clear idea of where exactly all that money is, the newspaper said.

Even if officials succeed in locating the funds, there will still be a huge question about whether the bloc can legally appropriate the money and use it as it sees fit.

According to the internal document seen by Die Welt, the European Commission came to the “sobering conclusion” that the frozen reserves “must not be touched because one day, when the war is over, they will have to be returned to Russia.”

Officials in Brussels, however, have reportedly been trying to figure out ways around the hurdles. One idea would be for them to invest the funds and transfer at least the interest accrued on them to Ukraine. The outlet claimed that if invested in European government bonds, the Russian central bank reserves could yield up to 2.6% interest per annum.

Such an "extraordinary measure" could potentially be legally feasible, the outlet said, citing the commission. However, there is still a “very low” risk with such a plan may result in losses and therefore see the money effectively gambled away.

Regarding the assets of Russian oligarchs in the EU, Die Welt said that the Commission believes some of those individuals have so far managed to slip under the authorities’ radar, with some member states apparently lacking the zeal to go after them.

Even if all the assets were found and frozen, they could not be confiscated, the paper noted, explaining that this couldonly happenif it was proved thebillionaires had actually committed a crime– a legal effort which could take years in each case.

The EU froze Russia’s central bank reserves soon after President Vladimir Putin sent his troops into Ukraine late last February. Moscow has condemned Brussels’ actions as theft.

This is why many countries want to eliminate the dollar, if they can steal the money, there is no trust.

CIA director concedes US power is waning

Bill Burns says Washington’s position as the “big kid on the geopolitical block” isn’t guaranteed

The dominant global role of the US can no longer be guaranteed as the country is witnessing a time of change “that comes along a couple of times a century,” CIA Director Bill Burns has claimed.

Speaking at the Baker Institute earlier this week, Burns said that although Washington “still has a better hand to play than any of our rivals,” it is “no longer the only big kid on the geopolitical block and our position at the head of the table isn’t guaranteed.”

The CIA chief pointed to growing ties between China and Russia, which he argued will present a “formidable challenge” for his agency for years to come. According to Burns,Beijingis “not content to only have a seat at the table;it wants to run the table,” whileRussiais seeking to “upend the table altogether.”

Burns, who served as the US ambassador to Moscow under George W. Bush, condemned Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, calling it an act of “brutish aggression.”

He claimed the CIA has provided “good intelligence” that has “helped the Ukrainians defend themselves” and cemented “a strong coalition in support of Ukraine.”

Burns added that Kiev’s long-anticipated spring offensive would feature “strong material and intelligence support from the US and our allies.”

The spy chief claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “not serious about negotiations” on a peaceful resolution to the conflict, and suggested that only Ukrainian progress on the battlefield was “likely to shape prospects for diplomacy.”

Russia has repeatedly stated that it is open to peace talks and has blamed Kiev and its Western allies for blocking negotiations. Ukraine has placed a legal ban on any talks with Russia as it seeks to defeat its opponent on the battlefield.

Regarding China, Burns insisted that Beijing remains the CIA’s “biggest long-term priority.”He noted that in the last few years, the intelligence agency has doubled the resources it focuses on China, including hiring and training Mandarin speakers and stepping up efforts to compete with Beijing on the world stage.

“Managing a crucial and increasingly adversarial relationship with China will be the most significant test for American policy makers for decades to come,” the US official said, arguing that the risk of a conflict over Taiwan will continue to grow.
