THE DOUBLE STANDARD OF NATIONAL SECURITY
One of the main themes of the Democratic party is "Never let a Crisis go to Waste."
The misuse of National Security issues by the Leadership of the Democratic party for political gain is not just a matter of grave concern but a pressing issue that demands our collective attention. This political theater by the Leadership of the Democratic party and their supporters transcends political lines and should unite us all in a strong, unified demand for accountability. It's crucial that we, the public, discern facts from hype and hold our leaders to the highest standards. This unity in demanding accountability empowers us to play an active role in the political process and ensures the integrity of our National Security. Without accountability, such political theater will continue to erode our trust in the system.
As informed citizens, it's crucial that we critically evaluate the allegations made by Jeffrey Goldberg, a reporter with a controversial history. His article in The Atlantic on March 24, 2025, titled 'The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans,' Should be viewed with a discerning eye, considering his past reporting. 1
Goldberg stated that a couple of weeks ago, he received an invite on Signal to connect with Michael Waltz, the national security advisor, but he didn't say who asked him.
Goldberg noted that on March 15, 2025, he received a group chat text on Signal from Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, and 18 other U.S. National Security officials discussing upcoming Military strikes in Yemen.
According to Goldberg, Hegseth provided "operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying and attack sequencing."
The problem with Goldberg's account is that Goldberg has a past track record of discredited reporting of showing animus toward President Trump with a history of embellishing and conflating false information by not backing up his claims, as illustrated by Goldberg promoting the bogus "Russia Russia Russia" hoax, the "fine people on both sides" hoax, and the "Suckers and Losers," hoax. The fact that Goldberg held on to this story for over a week and then published his story a day before the Senate Committee hearing on Global threats questions Goldberg's intent and motive.
On March 25, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied reports in "The Atlantic" that classified information was shared by text message with Jeffrey Goldberg: "The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans," Hegseth after being asked by reporters about Goldberg's allegations stated "I've heard how it was characterized. Nobody was texting 'war plans." 2
In his article, Goldberg also suggested that using a signal platform to discuss sensitive government business violated National Security.
When the facts show it was the Biden administration that decided to allow Federal employees in the National Intelligence Community on a limited basis to use Signal, as a secure messaging app with end-to-end encryption, for government business is a fact that every citizen should be aware of. Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Radcliffe stated that the signal app was on his computer when he arrived at the CIA.
On March 25, 2025, the Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee held a hearing on global threats; however, the Democratic Senators used the hearing to focus on the allegations made by Goldberg in his article that President Trump's National Security team created a serious breach of National Security. The hearing turned into a one-sided one, he said. She said there was an allegation hearing by the Democratic Senators accusing the witnesses of Lying. The Democratic Senators' questioning of the witnesses would lead the American people to believe this was the most serious breach of U.S. National Security in U.S. history instead of a one-time adverted mistake. 3
It's apparent from the facts that Senior Trump administration officials used the commercial messaging app Signal to debate the pros and cons of launching military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen and accidentally invited Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic and Washington Week moderator, to participate in the chat.
At the hearing, John Radcliffe, the CIA Director, and Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence (NDI), testified that no classified war plans were on the email thread. They also said that no information discussed was classified or that National Security was compromised.
On March 25, 2025, President Trump stated that none of the discussions were classified and that it was an inadvertent mistake. President Trump said they're a lesson to be learned for the government here: for the Intelligence Community to use secure classified government systems set up by the government instead of private messaging apps as signal. 4
National Security Advisor (NSA) Mike Walz, who created the group chat discussion, stated he didn't know Goldberg and didn't have his number.
NSA Walz admitted he created the group chat discussion chain, but stated he didn't know Goldberg and didn't have his number.
On March 25, 2035, Walz told Laura Ingraham on her Fox News show that he didn't realize how Goldberg's name got on the chat thread but took full responsibility for the breach. Walz speculated it could have happened when he put together the attendee's list and that Goldberg's number could have been one of the other signal attendees' accounts. Walz admitted it was an embarrassment and a mistake. Walz stated there was no classified information on the thread. 5
The White House has confirmed that it is reviewing the email chain to determine how Goldberg participated in the chat discussion in the signal email thread and whether it was a mistake, intentional, or a result of a signal platform error.
Whether NSA Walz's action was an inadvertent mistake or a grave one, the truth will emerge in the texts. Whether President Trump demands Walz's resignation for one mistake is a separate matter, and it is too early to tell until the National Security Agency determines how Goldberg's number got on the signal chat chain thread.
On March 25, 2025, NBC reporters asked President Trump what he knew about how Goldberg had access to the Signal chat. Trump attributed the error to a lower-level staffer under Waltz's supervision, stating, "It was one of Michael's people on the phone. A staffer had his number on there." 6
Trump said Goldberg's presence in the chat had "no impact at all" on the military operation. The president expressed confidence in his team, saying he was not frustrated by the events leading up to The Atlantic's story. The situation, Trump said, was "the only glitch in two months, and it turned out not to be a serious one."
What's truly tragic is the 15-year-long betrayal of the American people by Obama and Biden administration officials has been ignored by those in the media. During their tenure, they established a pattern of repeated use of the National Security classification system as a cover-up for their crimes. This pattern has led to a loss of trust and a compromised democracy, with profound implications for our national security.
Before our media and elected officials cast blame, it's crucial that we, the public, take a step back and objectively compare this one inadvertent mistake with all the prior intentional national security breaches by the Obama and Biden administrations that the media have ignored, where no one at the highest levels of government has ever been held accountable for their violations of national security. 7
Those in the Democratic party leadership and their surrogates in the media are making outrageous, hysterical claims that this is the biggest National Security scandal in U.S. history, gaslighting the public by demanding the resignation of the Trump National Security team. So, let's put these claims in perspective by reviewing all the Obama and Biden administration's National Security teams' actions that have been ignored or rarely reported by those on the left and the media so you, the American citizen, can decide for yourself:
RUSSIAN RESET: SKOLKOVO AND THE URANIUM ONE DEAL
Americans need to understand how President Obama and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sold out the country to the Russians by selling U.S. Uranium stockpiles to the Russians and coordinated U.S. Tech companies' partnerships with the Russian government in setting up Moscow's version of a Silicon Valley tech center in Skolkovo, Russia, and Obama Administration ignoring warnings to the threat to National Security of significant technology transfers from the FBI and U.S. Military in granting access to the Russians to our college and Universities research facilities in the U.S. 8 9
THE BENGHAZI COVER-UP
In the Benghazi incident, the Obama administration created a false flag narrative, blaming the attack on a video when they knew that the attackers behind the attack were part of a Libyan al-Qaeda-inspired terrorist group. The analysis discovered a disturbing pattern in using the false flag operation method in manipulating Intelligence and manufactured evidence to deceive the American public by the actions taken within the Obama administration in the cover-up of the lack of security in the Benghazi matter. 10
The Justice Department released 80 pages of records in response to the Judicial Watch 2016 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:16-cv-02046). Showing top Obama White House officials scrambling to "evolve" its false claims that September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. Government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, began "spontaneously" in response to an anti-Muslim video on the Internet.
The records show a December 2, 2015, communication from NASA Regional Counterintelligence Director Arthur Payton to the FBI Counterintelligence Division in which Payton returned a review of evidence obtained in the course of the FBI investigation of Clinton's email server, specifically a "classification and determination review." Payton noted that the FBI did not include the evidence found on Clinton's email server among the records it released showing that Hillary had emails that comprised National Security.
THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY RUSSIAN HOAX CONSPIRACY-CROSSFIRE HURRICANE-THE GREATEST NATIONAL SECURITY SCANDAL IN U.S. HISTORY
In March 2016, President Obama shut down the CIA unit Strategic Foreign Denial and Deception Committee (FDDC), the unit established 40 years ago to counter the Russian disinformation threat of interfering in U.S. Presidential Elections. 11 12
Former FDDC officials believe shutting down of the FDDC was a deliberate effort by the Leadership of the Obama intelligence community to prevent career intelligence officers from mastering how foreign adversaries – mainly Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran – waged denial and deception and from studying how to detect and counter it. The evidence infers that former President Obama and his Administration did not believe their political narrative that the Russians were a threat to the nation, as shown by Obama's actions of shutting down U.S. countermeasures to countering Russian election interference contrary to the Russian interference narrative sold to the public by Intelligence Community, the media, Senate/House Oversight Committees, the Mueller report, and the Obama and Biden administrations.
In April 2016, Susan Rice, Obama's National Security adviser, FBI Director Comey, James Clapper, NDI, and AG Lynch purportedly met in the White House to discuss the Trump Team appointments of Page, Manafort, Flynn, and Papadopoulos.
On April 1, 2016, FBI Headquarters directed the FBI/New York Division to open a Counterintelligence investigation on Carter Page, knowing that Page was a CIA asset.
In April 2016, CIA Director Brennan set up two Counterintelligence fusion cells, one at the CIA and the other at the FBI, targeting Page, Manafort, Flynn, and Papadopoulos. 13
These revelations corroborate that the Obama administration's FBI and CIA began investigating Trump and his team members in April 2016, using classified, unverified intercepts of Russian officials from the British Intelligence Service as the basis for their intelligence probes into the Trump campaign in creating the illusion that the Russians were the responsible party.
In May 2016, the FBI told the American people that the origins of its Crossfire Hurricane investigation began with a meeting between Alexander Downer, the Australian Ambassador to the United Kingdom, and George Papadopoulos in a London bar. The facts show that the true origins of the Clinton-DNC-Obama-Biden plan started in December 2015 when the British Intelligence Service advised CIA Director Brennan of intercepted conversations of Russian Officials regarding Trump. 14
In July 2016, private Communication between Robert Peter Hannigan, Director of the Signals, Intelligence, and Cryptography agency under the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), and CIA Director John Brennan.
Purportedly, Hannigan told CIA Brennan that the Russians had intercepted Russian SIGLET communications of Hillary Clinton's campaign team discussing a Conspiracy plan of election interference in the 2016 election to taint Trump with colluding with the Russians to cover up her email scandal from the public by tying Trump to Putin and blaming the Russians of hacking of the DNC; while initially a threat, it ultimately helped to expose that there was a Machiavellian Conspiracy afoot at the highest levels of government and deep-rooted political corruption within the Federal Bureaucracy that was threatening our Constitutional system of government.
CIA Director Brennan briefed President Obama on the Russian intercept conversation. Then, instead of investigating Hillary Clinton and those involved, Director Brennan instructed FBI Director Comey on July 25, 2016, to open up four counterintelligence investigations into Trump and Trump's campaign team. President Obama's actions of allowing these investigations to go forward implicated him in the Conspiracy after being briefed by Director Brennan, knowing this was a criminal scheme by the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC) to interfere in the 2016 election by tainting Trump with Russian collusion. 15
The Russian Hoax conspiracy was a calculated ploy by the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to deceive the public and undermine the credibility of then Presidential Candidate Trump and his team. This deliberate act, promoted with the aid of a complicit media, was designed to sway voters in the 2016 election, underscoring the profound legal implications of such actions.
The Obama administration continued the agreement after Trump was elected President by establishing the formation of the resistance movement within the Federal Bureaucracy and the weaponization and politicization of the DOJ, the FBI, and the IC to obstruct the Trump Presidency. The Biden administration continued the conspiratorial agreement using the Lawfare theory of 'Show Me the Man, I Will show you the crime,' which suggests that a person can be found guilty of a crime not because they have committed it but because they are a political enemy. This theory tried to prevented Trump from running for President in the 2024 election but failed.
Understandably, the Democrats would gleefully seize upon a mistake that will prove to be an isolated mistake made by an official in the current Administration's impressive record of successes in every area of governance during its first 2 months in office. By contrast, the previous 4 years of the Biden Administration under the control of the Democrats were marked by incompetence, cover-ups, fraud, alleged criminal behavior, and many avoidable mistakes after mistake in every area of their governance; this resulted in the Democrats being rejected by the majority of Americans in the last elections. (The evidence is mounting that the Biden Administration's National Security failures were simply a continuation of those of the Obama Administration and the Democrats.)
Although embarrassing, the subject's mistake did not detract from or compromise the success of the subject's military operation, nor did it result in any injuries to participating American military personnel. This kind of mistake is not likely to be repeated by officials in the Trump Administration.
In closing, these actions by members of the Obama and Biden administrations establish a pattern of National Security Conspiracy corroborating the 2016 seditious Conspiracy agreement to destroy Trump by interfering in our Electoral process for three Presidential Elections: 2016, 2020, and 2024. With each subsequent overt act, whose purpose is to distract from and cover up their crimes from the American people, there is no longer any doubt that this was a planned conspiracy to interfere with our election system. The Obama and Biden administrations weaponized and politicized the DOJ, FBI, and the IC, as evidenced by using the bogus Russian hoax to interfere in the 2016 election, continued the election interference by rigging the 2020 election, and tried to destroy Trump using Lawfare in the 2024 election. 16

The truth is on our side now that we have the presidential power to disclose. With the declassification of Crossfire Hurricane, and with Kash and Pam in control, we can expect charges of Treason to be brought. Pardons do not protect treasonous acts. Justice is coming. The sooner the better.
