When CBS reporter Catherine Herridge posted the story about the DOJ claim that the alleged leaker of classified intelligence documents had a “cache of weapons and tactical gear surrounding his bed,” my first reaction was that the FBI was going all out to paint him as a right wing extremist with possible plans to carry out a mass shooting. Call me naive, but I never imagined that the DOJ and FBI could engage in such an easily disproven lie in such an important case.
Here is how the U.S. Government claim was reported:
Teixeira, a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guard member, was arrested earlier this month in connection with the leak of more than 100 top-secret military documents about the war in Ukraine and other national security issues.
An 18-page court filing submitted by federal prosecutors on Wednesday said that Teixeira had a gun locker two feet from his bed filled with an “arsenal” of weapons.
“In the gun locker were multiple weapons, including handguns, bolt-action rifles, shotguns, an AK-style high-capacity weapon, and a gas mask,” the prosecutors said.
Stash of “weapons?” Not quite. The “firearms” pictured in Jack’s room ARE NOT ACTUAL FIREARMS. These are AIR SOFT guns. All AIR SOFT guns are required by law to have an orange tip when sold to the public. Yes, they look realistic but they do not fire ammunition that can kill or maim. These “guns” fire a round plastic projectile that can leave a bruise. These faux firearms are used predominantly by guys who like to simulate the alleged thrill of combat without putting their lives or bodies in actual risk. The following videos explain the concept.
Judging from the “stash” in Jack’s room it appears he was an avid AIR SOFT guy. That’s why he had all the tactical gear. He would go to the woods or an AIR SOFT range and chase other guys, similarly armed, doing simulated combat. The evidence collected from Jack’s room in terms of the faux “firearms” picture tells us one thing for certain — the media are a bunch of lying bastards too lazy or too ignorant to actually do some legitimate reporting.
I would also like to know if the FBI accurately identified this so-called “weapons stash” as AIR SOFT and DOJ omitted the Bureau’s explanation or are the FBI agents on the case also morons? To reiterate my previous conclusion regarding Airman Teixeira — it appears he mishandled classified information as a stunt to show off to his chat room buddies. That is a far cry from being a dangerous psychopath training to shoot up a school or mall.
The FBI and DOJ are shameless liars who are all-in on the narrative that Jan. 6th was an insurrection and straight white male Christians are terrorists. Despite the orange tips on the guns. Everyone in Federal LE know what AIR SOFT is but they will lie anyway to fit the facts to the domestic terrorist gun nut narrative. Even when the DOJ lies in court documents and filings, subborns perjury, and intimidate witnesses, judges give prosecutors a slap on the wrist, a wink, and a nod. This is especially true in D.C. and blue friendly districts.
But they look sooo scary and ABC said they are a cache and would FBI DOJ make up things? I can’t wait for my next vaccine.
And surprise, it’s always an AK. Demonize a country by branding it signature weapon as weapon of choice for bad people.
I bet he always chooses the terrorists side while playing Counter-Strike.
I doubt that has any bearing to other than maybe for the woke crowd, if they even know what an AK is. AK’s are coveted the world round by run of the mill folks, including in the US.
AKs are coveted by gun aficionados. Regular MSM consumers are subconsciously associating its unique shape with terrorists, and bad guys in movies (that often have Russian-like accent). It’s a Pavlovian reflex. People are conditioned to react similarly to a number of trigger words like Putin, China, genocide, somethingsomething-phobic, somethingsomething-propaganda.
Was that your previous conclusion? I seem to recall that your previous conclusion was that he could never have had access to these papers and he was being framed. I remember you getting all huffy at me when I disagreed.
Ill take that one.
Yes I also claimed that he would never have had access to Top secret documents.
Because once upon a Time only military or intelligence staff were allowed near such documents if they had a Top secret clearance.
Thus we need an explanation as to why the rules were changed and who is responsible for this change.
In this case somebody higher up Screwed up, and the 21 year old Jack is made a patsy.
DoD just executed a security standdown and made all employees take security training guided by a live security manager that focused on Need to Know.
Even though someone may have the required clearance to review Secret, Secret SAR, Top Secret, TS-SAR, etc., they still must have a need to know the information. This concept has been in the annual security training since forever.
So mandatory training that re-emphasizes a concept that everyone should already be aware of is kind of pointless. Either someone really screwed up and failed to follow protocols where Need to Know is concerned or the information was intentionally put where this kid could access it because TPTB needed a means to get the message out without it looking like it was them releasing it.
I stopped trusting USG a long time ago. Like fire, USG has been, is, and will be both a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
All big companies have what seems like continuous mandatory training, online. I’ve no doubt .gov is worse. The thing is, when there’s so much of it, and so much of it is “diversity”-driven nonsense, you learn nothing, your focus is getting through as fast as you can, period.
Just another reason in the long list of reasons the US is in terminal decline.
Regrettably, I have to admit that I remember that exchange as well.
OFFS give it a rest Biswapriya. You are really, really tiresome. Both here & at moa.

Being an avid enjoyer of stone throwing, you surely never said anything wrong.
JEEzus…you’re like what the Russians call a banniy list (bathhouse leaf). Sticking to a topic like glue ad nauseam. Beating a dead horse comes to mind too.
Heck, anything that challenges the narrative
in Ukraine will be met with hostility. It really
applies to all narratives that challenge the elites.They think they can BS their way out of anything. The goal is to stay in power. When they admit to themselves Ukraine narrative must be changed it will change to maintain power within our own borders of USA. Wall Street does not care who is in charge or that there is a multi polar world. They will be happy as long as they have a seat at the table, live in big homes, send their kids to the best private schools. Ironically, they would join up with a modern day Hitler if their world was comfortable. What’s a few million white people in camps among a golf foursome at Pinehurst?
Wall St has already joined up with a modern day Hitler, and many times. Some were US presidents.
Blame Christian Zionists for all the problems in this country. They are incapable of reading the 8th chapter of Hebrews. There is a new covenant, there is a new sheriff, the old covenant is toast. Talmudists are enemies of everyone that is not them. DeSantis, Trump, uniparty congress are all in. Ordinary Americans are the screwed.

Yes, my 13 year grandson is a fan of airsoft, the sophistication of the guns surprised me. But they are airsoft, plastic BB’s.
The DOJ lying, damn knock me over with a feather, as I retire to my compound to check arsenal and ammo stockpile…
I guess one of those plastic BBs could still put your eye out. I still remember that friendly daisy bb rifle fire fight in the bush I had with my best friend & neighbor, we were 8 I think and both survived! ….but sitting at the Sunday dinner table and picking at this bump at my hairline I had a hard time hiding that bb dropping on my plate. Noisy thing.
No shocker here: Pixie-girl is an asset.
Even in the country that spends the most money on security and let 4 pastors tear down the Twin Towers, this is starting to be fun! Starting with the FBI arresting a military man on prime time television?! In a country that spies on its citizens like no other country but did not detect that the kid had been leaking briefings from the chief of staff for 1 year?! And now the US authorities also do not distinguish between a terrorist with a real weapon of war and a fan of PaintBall?! What an Maskirovka. By intelligence, I bet on Biden’s neocon team!
Meaniwhile in Ukraine “Many countries have begun to inflame the situation so that Ukraine would immediately start negotiations on the war with Russia on Moscow’s terms, Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) secretary Oleksiy Danilov said on national television on May 11. And today, the head of Zelensky’s propaganda, Podolyak, threatened Europe with terror attacks if they stop supplying weapons to Kiev regime. 😂
Why anyone who is capable of critical thinking would take anything emanating from the US government or the media at face value at this point is beyond me. With the lies so endless and transparent on so many issues, we are living through a waterfall event in terms of the destruction of rule of law and the rights, freedom and privacy of the individual.
Demonization is a standard practice. The veracity or truth of the assertation is irrelevent, as the intention is to be shocking, to put the accused on the defensive and to paint them in the most unfavorable light possible to the onlooker’s eye.
If I recall correctly, a while back there was a Westerm whisper-campaign that suggested Putin was autistic, in other words “defective,” “not normal,” “sick.” The Russians responded by accusing Obama of being an alien in human disguise– a “space-lizard.”
The Russians gave an over-the-top and totally absurd rebuttal to Western accusations in order to demonstrate the absurdity of the charges. I don’t know how well it worked, but I thought it was pretty damn funny.
At least I think that the Russians were making a joke… thinking about it, some of Obama’s behaviors were kinda reptilian or lizard-brained, and he did seem pretty cold-blooded.
My wife and I are high functioning autistic. Certainly not a defect – we consider it a superpower – we certainly think differently from most people we know, except others who are also on the spectrum – perhaps he is autistic. Scott Ritter certainly is …..
Ritter rhetoric is trying but interesting to listen to. When on a roll it seems he has three or four scenarios going on in his head simultaneously, all interconnected in some way and he has a hard time articulating them without dropping sentences before moving to the next. Sort of like a patchwork quilt that you have to sow up on the go as he throws the pieces at you to get the full picture. He writes very well though, coherently, logically and minus the speed bumps.
Maybe I’m exaggerating a bit.
That just goes to show who the REAL enemies of the country are: teenage gamers.
Video games are the entry point. Then comes Air Soft. That’s the Hard Stuff Then: Insurrection. Gitmo is too small for all these kids. Guess we have to take the whole island.
Still waiting to find out if dad had ammo for his bazooka – did that have an orange tip? . The absurdity, Blinken (WaPo) rates Ukraine ( “still strong, despite, military intelligence to the contrary”). Here’s the algorithm: the WaPo and the the Administration are to be believed even when contradicting themselves. One way or the other, Teixeira will get tortured for revealing, unequivocally, that his superiors are genuinely idiots.
Yes, they are morons. And it’s logical. When your agenda is deeply immoral, you need immoral people to do your bidding. When you run out of intelligent immoral people to do your bidding, b/c intelligent people end up realising when you’re on course to crash against a brick wall, you must rely on immoral morons. “Law and order” across the West is enforced by cretinous sociopaths b/c only cretinous sociopaths obey cretinous immoral orders.
My wife and I are high functioning autistic. Certainly not a defect – we consider it a superpower – we certainly think differently from most people we know, except others who are also on the spectrum – perhaps he is autistic. Scott Ritter certainly is …..
I know, you already said that once. Must be the autism kicking in 😉
Trying to post by phone can get trying at times – wasn’t sure if it had gone or not .
Because their lips are moving. And lying is the only thing they know how to do. Haters are gonna hate. Liars are gonna lie.
This is really beyond belief, I mean, couldn’t they plant some real guns or color the tips for the photo-shoot at least?
Why bother? Intended audience have been swallowing much dumber things with ease.
Maybe the woke crowd thought they were real guns, just transgender – with nail polish or colored tips.
Nah, that’d make him popular and it seems that wasn’t the desired outcome.
Why is the DOJ Lying About Jack Teixeira?
Because none dares to makes them accountable for it. They tell shit, defame people, ruin lives and get along with it. I named it “having a napkin ring at the impunity club”.
It will last until someone make them pay harshly when they do or say some shit. A bit like the scumbags that did ethnic cleansing in 404 , on day , a bear knock at the doors and deliver free shells :).
When Mark Twain said that: “It is much easier to fool a man than to convince him he’s been fooled.”, it wasn’t the first time he’s captured a poignant and essential truth.
The lies work because the majority develop their views and opinions at first blush with the narrative. “Teixeira is a criminal fanatic with an arsenal under his bed” is now the firmly held opinion by the majority of those who’d even heard of him for the simple reason that that’s all they’ve heard on the matter.
They need not look any deeper because they now “know” all that’s worth knowing about an incident they either care little about, or are too lazy to investigate if they do care about it. The majority of the public isn’t even aware of the leaks, much less the leaker and what they contain and couldn’t care less about either. If they do hear about them, they’ll ask their slightly more aware neighbour who’ll give him his cheaply gained opinion, settling the matter for both.
That’s why propaganda works.
Sorry about the italicization not closing as intended after ellipses.
Glad you apologized. I was about to have you arrested.
I was about to ask how does one make italicization in the first place.
BTW, do Grammar Nazis support Zelensky? That guy can’t even read teleprompter properly, yet even construct his own sentences.
Meanwhile back on the ranch Trump’s petting a cat named vagina, Elon and Tucker are teaming up to give us free speech tempered by the new CEO from the WEF, Zelinsky’s threatening to drone Europe if they don’t send more money and mercs, Fauci is saying he never told anybody to take the jab, and Biden cabal is bussing in young men from the world by the thousands. At this point I don’t give jack about Jack! Why aren’t any of our so-called leaders or or anyone with a platform not calling for our borders to be defended? America is being invaded by the world and we’re being deliberately distracted by clowns and dog kings! Welcome to the apocalypse.
Hello Larry,
I follow your website most days and find it very professional, credible and informative. I am very grateful to you.
I know you are very busy with trying to keep up with world affairs but I wonder if you could write about USA citizens right to carry arms.
(I live in Ireland where traditionally there were very few guns. We were a peaceful and deeply religious country. Murders were extremely rare 50 years ago . The Northern Ireland troubles had not erupted at that time. Ireland today is a very sad country and recognisable. Yet there are many ordinary people who retain their faith.
I do want to understand US Right to carry arms and would be grateful if you could find the time to write about this topic.
Dia Dhuit.
Is mise le meas,
May God be with you.
Respectfully yours (Irish translation)
Connie
Will do.

Mr. Larry, do not expect anything from the west media. These lazy “professionals” are puppet of their bosses, doing everything they want. In my country, Brazil, companies like Globo, SBT, Record, Band, Folha, Estadão, IstoÉ, Época, Veja are excellent examples of the worst media we can get.
Unfortunately, I see that this boy lost his life unless something unpredictable happens. I feel myself ashamed to be from West this times.
Make no mistake, those airsoft guns can really hurt someone’s feelings. We can’t allow that.
At least those “guns” look similar to the real ones, unlike downed “Kinzhal” that Klitchko is parading.
Can’t believe who was more stupid with that one, Klitchko or his audience.
Klichko at least has an excuse of occupation-related concussions that lowered his IQ from not-so-high to even-worse. Those that believe him were not repeatedly punched in the face, though some of them might find being slapped into reality useful.
……and by the way, where was the belching cat on that kinzhal false call? I thought that was their specialty, ‘exposing obvious, false and misleading’ pictorial disinformation in media. Guess MI6 didn’t let them out of the darkroom to tackle that one.
Thanks for reporting on the ridiculous FBI and LLM propaganda against Jack Teixeira.
This points out how dumb they think the American public ( especially the left ) is. The Government is not even trying anymore. They just throw the BS against the wall, because they have corrupted the wall some much that the government knows it will stick.
It would appear as if the Biden administration and the subverted DOJ have lost any competency and actually believe their own lies. That is really dangerous.
The nature of misinformation pieces like this is that it can be reiterated at every stage without failing to act its original purpose. Turn public attention away from what really matters.
Why? Because the DOJ and FBI are agents of the administrative state that is our master. People say I am “gloomy”.
The Master’s own the education system. The law enforcement system from the FBI and DOJ down. The military. The courts. The media.
And more importantly, the thoughts of 80% of the sheeplike population. We have an aware bunch here. And it’s a handful.
I keep telling people. This is going to get worse and worse. More Orwellian control every day. And you can’t fight it. You can plan an escape.
Pay off debt, accumulate fiscal assets. Plan on being on a beach in Thailand when they announce the new social credit score here in the US. Retreat. It’s a tactic.
“This is going to get worse and worse. More Orwellian control every day. ”
Yesterday in Sydney, the WEF controlled treasonous pigs, arrested an elderly man for “incitement to violence” for beaming the letter Z on to the Opera House.
Today I’ll be putting mine back on my work vehicle.
Few months ago, an Australian Open visitor was almost arrested for wearing a shirt with Z letter on it. He managed to somehow get away by explaining that it stands for Zoran, which is his name. Police officers there also had a cheat sheet of flags, in order to block Russian one and not other similar flags that they’ve never see before (like Serbian ones carried by Djokovic fans, that have same colours in reverse order).
While on subject, I’ve just ran into video of some more love for Z from Straya cops:

I remember pre 1968 Federal gun control (I was 13) when we could walk into any hardware store and buy any gun or ammo they had. No questions asked, unless they called your mom to make sure it was ok with her. Or order one from the Sears catalog and it would be mailed to you. Virtually no one was getting killed by the evil guns then, except accidently. What has changed since then?
“Virtually no one was getting killed by the evil guns then, except accidently.”
Look in to the stats, many were killed by firearms when both shooter and victim were known to each other, usually the same household. Not as black and white as you think.
Society, of course. School shootings are just a symptom of sick society (along many other things). Decades of Americanization have resulted in their appearance in Europe, along with sodomy parades,
pedophilia normalization (in addition to efforts of Catholic Church in that field), destruction of family as a core of society, rewriting of history, and many other things. Rise in obesity rates looks like child’s play nowdays.
LJ said: “I would also like to know if the FBI accurately identified this so-called “weapons stash” as AIR SOFT and DOJ omitted the Bureau’s explanation or are the FBI agents on the case also morons?”
Of course Larry certainly also knows the DOJ and FBI are outrageously evil at this time in history, and do not care one stitch about anything other than the “narrative” to take down the country on behalf of the Leftists. That is, these agencies surely do know, but they (at least their top level leaders) do not care. As long as they can get their bought-and-paid for MSM to recite the narrative to the sheep, they consider it forwarding their agenda.
Truly, if anyone searches further on any issue being used against the USA right now, and follows it up to the top of the food chain, you will find one or more Bilderberg globalists funding it all, as they chomp at the bit to take over the country. At some point we have to admit the following, because he’s read all the documents the globalists have written over the decades: Alex Jones has been and is currently right about it all (within reason, if not every explicit detail). And AJ said he himself only knows because the Bilderberg globalist mafia folks put it all in writing – many years in advance – exactly what they intended to do ! It might be the only thing they haven’t lied about !
One last thing: The events of the day are also Biblical ! That is, Revelation 13 is happening right now in front of our eyes as this all plays out. If anyone is interested, please see this for more: Revelation13.substack.com/p/revelation-13-happening-now
Thanks Larry, for your always-interesting insights !
Larry, it seems to me that you have crossed the line into journalism, raising the average IQ of journalism.
Thing is, stupid implies random-ness, which should sometimes get it right, not always breaking in one direction – that signifies evil.
Paintball wars used to be very popular. Many years ago I worked for Apple. The Finance group had a big team building party one day. The whole finance group went up into the Santa Cruz mountains to a paintball “battle ground”, divided up into teams and went at it.
It was great fun although I got the worst imaginable case of poison oak. Those days are gone. HR and Legal would never, ever sign off on that kind of liability these days and I could not imagine todays gay infused Apple even thinking of such a thing. The days of the Apple building flying the pirate flag are over…maybe that tells us all we need to know.
I wouldn’t be surprised if in three months the FBI agents find a red MAGA hat under Teixeira’s pillow. All the media will start howling to the entire universe that Trump is the head of a terrorist organization.
Do you doubt that will happen?
Ah, they don’t even need the MAGA hat. Just a ‘My Pillow’ will do.

The real question is what are the American people gonna do to solve the existential problem of these utterly corrupt organizations DoJ, FBI, and CIA, corrupt beyond repair in the full sense of the word. Morally, organizationally and practically corrupt. It’s endangering the whole existence of the American republic and its citizens, as well as those of the wide world. I think it’s the first and foremost priority if US is to reverse its spiraling downwards fall.
You are exactly correct.
In 2016, the people voted to drain the Swamp. Then they went home congratulating themselves on a mission accomplished, and left their hero twisting in the wind for 4 years.
Four years later they again voted to drain the Swamp, but this time the wind blew their man off his feet before the votes were even counted. Again, they went home and sat on their hands watching the spectacle. “We’ll get ’em next time”, they said.
I’ve little idea what 2024 will bring. The Russians are setting the scene for them, but only the American people can save America. RFK Jr’s immediate success in the polls is the first signal I’ve seen that there’s a cross-party awareness that something’s deeply amiss.
The Democrats now have their Trump. Let’s see if they do to RFK what the GOP did to him.
