Jack Teixeira is an American National Guardsman who, over the course of several months in late 2022 and early 2023, reportedly leaked a number of classified Pentagon documents via Discord''.
Official narrative
The commercially-controlled media dubbed Teixeira the 'Pentagon leaker', and depicted him as an anti-war libertarian who leaked the contents of top-secret documents dealing with the Russo-Ukrainian War, Chinese-Taiwanese relations, and anti-government protests in Israel in his game chats, but, when his leaks were not getting the attention he desired, began to post photos of the documents on his Discord.
In April 2023, these documents began to circulate on Telegram, Twitter, 4chan, and other outlets, and it was suspected that many of them were tampered with by the Russian government. On 13 April 2023, Teixeira was identified as the man behind the leaks, was arrested and was charged in Boston on 14 April 2023.[1]
Concerns
The reporting of the commercially-controlled media on the documents is a stark contrast to other some other leaks such as the Integrity Initiative Leaks, about which they had very little to say.
Career
Jack Teixeira served in the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts National Guard while overseeing the "Thug Shaker Central" Discord channel (on which he was nicknamed "OG"), whose young members shared a love for racist memes, gun rights, and video games.
Craig Murray
Craig Murray writes:
- Jack Texeira was tracked down by UK secret service front Bellingcat in conjunction with the New York Times and in parallel with the Washington Post, which accessed a cache of at least 300 additional secret documents in doing so – and have kept them secret, with the exception of a couple of snippets that forward the official state narrative.[2]
- Neither the alleged journalists of New York Times, Washington Post, nor Bellingcat did the most basic things a real journalist would do. They did not contact Texeira, speak to him, ask him to explain his motivation, and look through the other secret material to which he had access, to get Texeira’s view on its meaning and implications, and to publish what in it was in the public interest.
