A Duty to Lie

The following video features a recent appearance by Col. Douglas Macgregor (retired) on Judge Napolitano’s podcast. In it the two men discuss issues related to the leak of classified Pentagon documents by Jack Teixeira, an Air National Guardsman.

 

I was interested to see that Col. Macgregor and the judge had come to the same general conclusions about the leak that I did: it was a setup. The documents were deliberately made accessible to Airman Teixeira in the expectation that he would leak them. The intelligence community, a.k.a. the Deep State, found it expedient to have the information become public, without its having to be officially released by the U.S. government. Col. Macgregor outlines the most likely reasons for the leakage, which align fairly well with my own conclusions.

 

A side effect of the release is that major military and government officials have now been revealed as deliberate liars about the war in Ukraine and related matters. It’s still too early to tell whether this will affect any careers. If the media establish a uniform firewall against any meaningful discussion of the government’s mendacity, it’s quite possible that everyone can skate by and continue with business as usual. Or, it may be that the Deep State decided to sacrifice a few pawns, and maybe a rook and a bishop, in its execution of a sophisticated strategy on the global political chessboard.
