Last week, 21-year-old Jack Teixeira was arrested at his mother’s home in North Dighton, Massachusetts after he leaked dozens of "top secret" intelligence documents through a Discord channel with 20 to 30 members. The documents contained sensitive intelligence pertaining the war in Ukraine, the U.S.'s involvement in training Ukrainian troops, and other intelligence about U.S. allies, such as Israel, South Korea, and others.

Since Teixeira's arrest, Glenn has been asking the glaring question that the media refuses to address: did Teixeira act alone? Glenn brought multiple defense experts on his show this week to get to the bottom of how a 21-year-old National Guardsman could have possibly accessed these documents with his clearance.

Glenn's guests included former head of intelligence Kash Patel, Glenn's head researcher and former defense intelligence analyst Jason Buttrill, and The Intercept founder Glenn Greenwald. Each of Glenn's three guests demonstrated that the current media narrative has glaring holes and many more questions not only need to be answered, they need to be asked by our media in the first place.

With all of the news circulating around this story, it is often difficult to discern the core points you need to know to analyze the story for yourself. Below you will find the top theories behind the leaked Pentagon documents explained so YOU can come to your own conclusion. But first, some background.

Was Teixeira's security clearance sufficient to get him access to the documents?

In short, no.

Teixeira did hold "top secret" security clearance. However, this is not unique. In fact, millions of people within the defense and intelligence community possess "top secret" clearance. As Glenn Greenwald pointed out on Glenn's radio show today (4/20/2023), our government abuses its ability to deem relatively anything "top secret." For example, when Greenwald was investigating the Snowden documents, he recounted how even parking tickets and other "banal information" was labeled "classified" or "top secret." Labeling even seemingly insignificant documents "top secret" makes it a felony to publicly share that information, protecting the government from the probing eyes of the press.

Since millions of people within the defense and intelligence communities are given "top secret" clearance to access basic information, the defense created "top secret +" clearance for truly sensitive information. Glenn's head researcher and former defense intelligence analyst, Jason Buttrill, explained that the two types of "top secret +" clearance are "Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI)" clearance and "Special Access Program (SAP)" clearance.

Buttril explained that Teixeira would not only need either SCI or SAP access, but he would also need a "need to know" permission to access that information specifically. Teixeira had none of these clearances, so it is relatively impossible that he would have been able to access these specific documents on his own.

How would someone get access to the leaked documents?

The New York Times simply reported that Teixeira used JWICS to access the classified documents. However, this is a blatantly generalized assessment of what is actually required to access the caliber of documents that were leaked. As Buttrill told Glenn, JWICS is the security network for defense agencies like Verizon, which is a network for millions of cell phone users. Most defense employees have access to JWICS, but as Kash Patel told Glenn, less than 0.5 percent of these people have access to the types of documents Teixeira accessed. In short, we need more information than what the New York Times is currently investigating.

So how would one of these 0.5 percenters get their hands on the leaked classified information? First, Buttrill said, they would need either an SCI or SAP clearance. Second, they would not only need knowledge that these documents actually existed, but they would know where they were located within the JWICS system. Both facts are kept secret except for those who are given a "need to know" clearance to the documents.

Patel told Glenn the following helpful illustration. Imagine if JWICS were a huge mansion with numerous rooms and chambers. Even if millions of people had the front door key, only a select few could access certain rooms. Even fewer would know the location of the family jewels and possess the key to unlock the safe. Teixeira possessed the key to open the front door, but he would not have known the location of the documents within the JWICS system nor have the SCI and SAP clearance to access them. So how did Teixeira access them?

How did Teixeira get the documents? Theory 1

Given the fact that Teixeira did not have the clearance to access the leaked documents, there are two leading theories to explain what happened.

The first theory is the "screw-up" theory. As Buttrill said on Glenn's show, someone with SCI or SAP clearance could have theoretically left his/her computer open with the documents visible, giving Teixeira the opportunity to view and print the documents. However, as Buttrill pointed out, there are several issues with this theory.

The first glaring issue is that there would have been a record of someone printing those particular documents from the person's computer. Buttrill said there is a record for every print job, particularly regarding documents with that level of security. The authorities would have easily been able to locate Teixeira and the owner of the computer. However, this does not seem to be the case: authorities said they located Teixeira from particular details in his posted online images, not through any print record.

Moreover, the second glaring issue is that, if this theory were true, the person who left highly classified documents open on their computer without their supervision is liable for prosecution. The fact that someone else hasn't been arrested either means the "screw up" theory isn't true, or that the true responsible party is being covered up by their respective agency.

If this theory is true, then the lesser of two evils would follow: namely, that our intelligence system is broken and is vulnerable to leaks. Patel said he hopes this is the case, but believes the second theory is much more plausible.

How did Teixeira get the documents? Theory 2

The second and more plausible theory is the "co-conspirator" theory, alleging that someone with SCI or SAP clearance aided Teixeira in getting access to the leaked documents. If the "screw-up" theory were true, there would be direct documentation linking Teixeira to the computer via the printer or some record of data exchange. As Patel suggested:

Somebody, either a DoD or someone in the intelligence community, either wanted this information out, or [Teixeira] found someone who wanted the information out, like he did and helped him with that process, and access.

This means that either Teixeira found someone within the DoD to give him the documents, or someone within the DoD wanted the documents leaked and used Teixeira as a scapegoat. If the latter is the case, then Teixeira is a pawn in the DoD's strategic plan.

What was the motive behind the leak?

There are several different theories speculating the motive behind the leak. Patel said:

Somebody either wanted this information out ... or our classification system is so broken and so destroyed that a rookie can walk in and harness our nuclear secrets.

Patel further said the main goal of the leak was to show the information in Ukraine, while the other intelligence leaks were aimed at throwing people "off the tracks" of the true motive. This further corroborates the theory, Patel said someone else with more knowledge about the Ukrainian conflict was involved.

Glenn Greenwald, on the other hand, said the "screw-up" theory is still possible alongside the co-conspirator theory, stating:

You would be surprised with how sloppy the U.S. government is, even with classified information.

However, Greenwald criticized the media's lack of transparency and curiosity over the investigation, accusing "media corporations of serving the U.S. security state above all else." Greenwald, Patel, and Buttrill all agreed there is much more to the story than meets the eye. The media needs to stop doing the bidding of the intelligence community and begin doing their job: investigating the truth.

Have YOU felt disillusioned by the mainstream media? You wouldn’t be alone. Conservatives have increasingly felt jaded and targeted by the mainstream media, even by seemingly “right-leaning” outlets like Fox News who are allegedly supposed to represent them.

There’s a reason why conservatives feel this way.

In an exclusive bombshell news story, Blaze Media uncovered the dark side of Fox News from whistleblowers inside the network. In fact, insiders revealed that Fox is subsidizing the very left-wing activist groups that "despise and seek the ruin of the network's viewers."

Fox is subsidizing some of the very activist groups that seek the ruin of the network's viewers.

You read that right: Fox News matched donations to left-wing activist groups, including match donations to the Satanic Temple, the Trevor Project, Planned Parenthood (and local Planned Parenthood branches), the Southern Poverty Law Center , and MORE.

It comes as no surprise then, that a Fox insider told Glenn's executive producer, Rikki Ratliff-Fellman, that the network is evidencing a "complete disregard and hatred" for its core audience.

While traveling through the United States on a 3,000-mile motorcycle trip last week, I tuned into the first presidential forum of the 2024 primary season, hosted by Tucker Carlson (a.k.a. the Blaze Media Summit). Glancing at Twitter between gas stops, I was shocked. I don't think I had never seen one network dominate my feed like Blaze Media did that day.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, was talking and tweeting about the Summit. Clips from BlazeTV were getting shared by people I would have never expected. For a full 12 hours, it was almost as if Fox News and every other mainstream media outlet didn’t even exist.

I’ve never seen one network dominate my feed like Blaze Media did that day.

I stopped for the night at a small bed and breakfast right outside a Navajo Indian Reservation. The next morning, as I was sitting in the dining area, I overheard two men talking about Tucker’s interview with Mike Pence: “Did you hear what Pence actually had the gall to say to Tucker yesterday?!” I about spit my orange juice out. The coverage wasn’t just going viral on social media. It was quite literally EVERYWHERE… even in this small-town bed and breakfast.

“Did you hear what Pence actually had the gall to say to Tucker yesterday?!”

But it was also just very relatable. What Tucker was bringing out of these interviews was exactly what I was seeing in these small towns, even in the Indian Reservations. When Tucker told Pence that the America we remember is now collapsing, and asked why Ukraine is somehow more important, I remembered the conversation I'd had with a Navajo Nation mom of six. She had been forced to move off the reservation due to the crime and rampant meth problem.

The mainstream media should be terrified.

In another small town, I spoke to a woman in her 60s who lamented the days when her town was full of job opportunities and promise. She told stories of the old factory and how crime didn’t even really exist. Then came the layoffs; then came the shuttered businesses; then came the epidemic of meth and drugs from the Southern border.

This is the America the elitist Left wants to pretend does not exist, but it’s also the America that was talking about, debating, and sharing clips from the Blaze Media Summit. The event spoke to them, and the mainstream media should be terrified.

Tucker Carlson will be hosting the first presidential forum of the 2024 Republican primary season this Friday. Immediately following this event, Glenn will join Tucker on stage for an exclusive episode of Glenn TV that you don't want to miss.

Blaze Media is teaming up with the FAMiLY Leader to bring you a one-of-a-kind event featuring our nation's faith and political leaders. Tune in LIVE as Tucker speaks one-on-one with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, U.S. Senator Tim Scott, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson. The livestream will feature commentary about each of Tucker's candidate interviews from BlazeTV personalities including Glenn, Stu Burguiere, Steve Deace, and Sara Gonzales.

Following the presidential forum, stay tuned for a special episode of "Glenn TV," with an intimate conversation with Tucker Carlson that you don’t want to miss.

What to expect in Glenn's NEW book, 'Dark Future: Uncovering the Great Reset's Next Terrifying Phase'

At important meetings in 2021 and 2022, powerful leaders from government, finance, media, and business who support the World Economic Forum’s plan for a Great Reset of capitalism launched a new “call to action” titled the “Great Narrative.” The Great Narrative campaign seeks to use the decay of traditional values throughout the West and new and future advancements in technology — including in the areas of artificial intelligence, automation, the metaverse, robotics, and more — to seize control of economies and societies in North America and Europe.

The Great Narrative campaign seeks to use the decay of traditional values throughout the West.

The elites behind these proposals even plan to impact the way people across cultures and the planet understand what it means to be human and to have free will. According to the leaders of the Great Reset and Great Narrative movements, by the year 2030, your world will be fundamentally transformed.

Together, the highly influential and often extremely wealthy figures and institutions behind the Great Narrative are building a troubling new framework for humanity, one that has the potential to change life on Earth forever. Just as worrisome, the Communist Party of China and Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian regime in Russia are adopting technology-centric approaches of their own to control citizens and institutions, both domestically and abroad.
