Pentagon Leaker Agrees to 16-Year Prison Sentence
Jack Teixeira, a former member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, has agreed to accept a 16-year prison term after pleading guilty to leaking hundreds of classified Pentagon documents onto a gaming server.
Teixeira, 22, accepted all six counts charging him with willful retention and transmission of national defense information, according to a court ruling on Monday.
In exchange for the plea, prosecutors agreed not to charge him with further violations of the US Espionage Act.
In an incident described as one of most serious American national security breaches in years, Teixeira “accessed and printed hundreds of classified documents” and posted images of them on the Discord gaming server, prosecutors told a Boston federal court.
Teixeira started sharing the classified information in late 2022 and was arrested last April. He has remained in custody since.
Teixeira’s attorney, Michael Bachrach, described his client as “very much a kid” and argued that his age had played a “significant role” in his actions, the BBC reported. Bachrach said he hoped to reduce the jail term to 11 years. Sentencing is set for September 27.
The documents leaked by Teixeira included maps, satellite images, and intelligence on US allies. They revealed the presence of US special forces in Ukraine, the inadequacies of Kiev’s military as it prepared for its counteroffensive against Russian forces last summer, and US espionage targeting its allies throughout the conflict.
Teixeira has joined a long list of individuals prosecuted for allegedly disclosing sensitive US national security intelligence. Among the most high-profile is computer intelligence consultant Edward Snowden, who leaked highly classified information from the National Security Agency in 2013. He fled to Russia, where he was granted asylum and later citizenship.
Another example is Chelsea Manning (born Bradley Manning), the former US Army soldier jailed for disclosing thousands of classified and sensitive military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks. She was initially sentenced to 35 years in prison but had her sentence commuted to seven years and was released in 2017.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, an Australian citizen, has been in a UK prison since 2019. If extradited to the US, he will face criminal charges over espionage and the publication of classified information, potentially resulting in a 175-year jail term.

US Military Struggles to Recruit Due to Foreign Intervention Policy – Former Army Colonel
The US military is struggling to recruit new soldiers due to concerns about the United States’ policy of foreign intervention in recent decades, retired US Army Colonel Douglas MacGregor said in an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson.
“We’re having problems recruiting for a very simple reason: people that have been through this over the last 20-30 years have said, ‘What are we doing? What’s the point of being in the military?’ We go to these places. They look around in Iraq or they look around in Afghanistan and they say, ‘There’s nothing here. What am I doing here?’ Oh, well, you’re building democracy. And people burst out laughing. It’s nonsense,” MacGregor said in the interview, released Monday.
People in the US are ready to defend the county but do not see evidence of the US government doing that with the military, MacGregor said.
Defending countries in the Middle East or Ukraine is not what soldiers sign up for, MacGregor said.

Argentina’s President Milei Suspends State-Run Leftist News Agency For ‘Propaganda”
The chainsaw-wielding Argentine president Javier Milei has consolidated eighteen government ministries into nine, fired 5,000 government workers, devalued the peso near market rates, and introduced economic reforms to overhaul the faltering economy after a series of devastating financial crises.
The latest fat Milei has trimmed from the bloated government’s books is the largest and most prestigious news agency in Argentina, Telam. The state-run media outlet has served as a mouthpiece of “propaganda” for previous progressive administrations.
On Monday morning, Telam’s website was shut down. The current message on the media outlet’s website reads: “Page under reconstruction. The page you are trying to view is under reconstruction.”
The eight-decade news organization, with over 800 staff, is the latest casualty of Milei’s drive to shake up the prior corrupt progressive government. He told lawmakers last Friday about his plans to shutter the media outlet as part of a wave of reforms targeting public bodies that he warns are “covert propaganda ministry.”
“We will close the news agency Télam, which has been used as a Kirchnerist propaganda agency for the last decades,” Milei told lawmakers, referring to former president Cristina Kirchner.
And, of course, US legacy media outlets were unhappy about Milei’s move.
Reuters cited the Buenos Aires Press Union, which wrote on X:
“It is a blow against democracy and freedom of expression, and that is why we are going to defend it.”
The libertarian and self-described “anarcho-capitalist” understands the government shouldn’t have a monopoly on the so-called ‘free press’. The president is also ridding the government of dangerous ‘collectivist experiments‘ such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Watch: Inside Look at Hotel Repurposed into Secret Migrant Shelter
Shocking video out of Tucson, Arizona, shows the illegal alien trafficking pipeline at work as hotels are transformed into secret migrant shelters.
Citizen journalist Nick Shirley sent a migrant with hidden cameras into one of the hotel-turned-migrant shelters to get an inside look at how the facility operates.
“This is one of the hotels that’s been transformed into a shelter to house all these migrants here in Arizona,” Shirley said.
SNEAKING INTO SECRETIVE MIGRANT SHELTER IN ARIZONA…

Why did she get so offended what does she and the shelter have to hide? pic.twitter.com/eSaWC7ZAlf
Illegal aliens encountered at the hotel/shelter said they were from Senegal, Guinea, Guatemala, and Mexico.
Inside the facility, a main conference room had been transformed into a sleeping area for the migrants, with footage showing the room full of cots.
“The bathrooms were absolutely trashed,” Shirley said.
When Shirley attempted to investigate the hotel/shelter himself, he was aggressively confronted by a shelter worker who verbally attacked him.
“Are you even supposed to be here?” she asked.
“What do you mean? I can’t come look?” Shirley asked.
“No, this is private property right now, it’s for immigrants,” she replied.
“Ok. Yeah I’ll leave,” Shirley said.
“Well then get the f*ck outta here!” the worker shouted. “We’re gonna call the cops! Weird ass motherf*cker! Get the fuck outta here!”
Shirley then pointed out that the cops did arrive — at the same time as another bus full of illegal aliens.
The officer ignored the illegal alien trafficking and instead asked Shirley if he was aware of trespassing laws in the state.
Outrageous!
‘Treason!’: Bombshell Report Reveals Biden Has Secretly Flown 320,000 Illegals INTO The United States
A Freedom of Information Act lawsuit has revealed that the Biden administration has flown at least 320,000 migrants into the United States in an effort to reduce the number of crossings at the southern border, according to Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies.
“The program at the center of the FOIA litigation is perhaps the most enigmatic and least-known of the Biden administration’s uses of the CBP One cellphone scheduling app, even though it is responsible for almost invisibly importing by air 320,000 aliens with no legal right to enter the United States since it got underway in late 2022,” wrote Bensman.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had initially refused to disclose information about the flights, which use a cell phone app, CBP One, to arrange.
“Under these legally dubious parole programs, aliens who cannot legally enter the country use the CBP One app to apply for travel authorization and temporary humanitarian release from those airports. The parole program allows for two-year periods of legal status during which adults are eligible for work authorization,” Bensman continues.
The flights resulted in illegal immigrants being placed in at least 43 American cities from January through December 2023.
Under the terms of their release, migrants are able to remain in the US for two years without obtaining legal status, and are meanwhile eligible for work authorization.
The Biden administration initially refused to disclose which airports undocumented aliens were being flown into, citing a ‘law enforcement exception,’ new information reveals that the government thought ‘bad actors’ might pose a safety risk or create law enforcement opportunities – with CBP lawyers writing that revealing the specific airports would “reveal information about the relative number of individuals arriving, and thus resources expended at particular airports.”
Treason indeed!
In response to the CIS report, Elon Musk wrote on X: “Treason indeed! Ushering in vast numbers of illegals is why Secretary Mayorkas was impeached by the House,” adding “They are importing voters. This is why groups on the far left fight so hard to stop voter ID requirements, under the absurd guise of protecting the right to vote.”

Musk also suggested that the national security threat posed by the program makes it “highly probable that the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11.”
This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigrants.

Meanwhile, in 2022 it was revealed that the Biden administration was flying illegal immigrants all over the US on redeye flights, according to the NY Post (and noted by modernity.news)
Tucker Carlson Compares US to Roman Empire
Allowing illegal migrants into the US military as a means of granting them citizenship will lead the country towards inevitable collapse, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.
In the clip, Carlson recalled the fall of the Roman Empire, stating that while historians have long debated the reasons for the collapse of one of history’s most powerful empires, one fact has been “pretty obvious.”
“The roman military, its legions, became dominated by non-citizens, who in the end, because they weren’t loyal to Rome, turned against Rome’s citizens,” he explained.
Carlson went on to say that this course of events was similar to what is currently happening in the US, which has been “flooded” with illegal aliens – over 7.2 million since President Joe Biden entered office, according to the White House’s official estimates. “That number is greater than the population of 32 states,” he noted.
But the main issue, according to the former Fox News host, is that instead of deporting these people, Congress is entertaining the idea of enlisting them into the US military. One such proposal is the Courage to Serve Act introduced by Pat Ryan, a Democratic congressman from New York.
The bill would offer “qualified and vetted migrants” an expedited path towards citizenship if they serve in the military, Ryan said, noting that the US military missed its recruiting goals by around 41,000 in 2023.
Carlson, however, vehemently rejected the idea, arguing that the military’s struggle to meet recruiting goals is the result of intentionally alienating white American men who have always made up the majority of the country’s fighting force.
But instead of addressing these issues and figuring out why young Americans don’t want to join the armed forces, Calrson claimed that Congress has decided to “allow an invasion of the country, not use the military to stop it, and then populate the military with people who are invading the country and hope for the best.”
Former US President Donald Trump warned last month that America would collapse if Joe Biden remains in office following this year’s presidential election, suggesting that the country will have over 18 million illegal migrants by the end of the year.
“With four more years of Biden, the hordes of illegal aliens stampeding across our borders will exceed 40 to 50 million people,” Trump claimed, saying healthcare, education, and social security will collapse under the pressure.
