Paging Mr. Knight!
Remember our very own N-digits? He's back in the news, and is discussing foreign events. I mentioned a few weeks ago that there were those in the government that think that the year 2027 is going be somewhat...spicy...and were doing things to try to prepare the public for it?
That's where N-digits comes in.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/04/14...Former CIA officer Larry Johnson, who did presidential daily briefings during the George H.W. Bush administration, told "Judging Freedom" host Andrew Napolitano that he thinks the latest leak of Ukraine War documents is an inside job.
About the source, he said: "I'd put it above the CIA. This is elements connected to the Director of National Intelligence... There's no way that some National Guardsman doing [temporary duty] at Fort Bragg would have access to that."
"The information was leaked for [a purpose], to prepare the U.S. public for the crash landing that's going to take place with respect to U.S. foreign policy," he said.What he's basing that claim on is that there's no way some 21-year-old IT rando from the Mass Air Guard is going to have access to the breadth of stuff that was posted in the Minecraft forum. Not unless the government is completely and thoroughly incompetent, and while they are in many respects, this isn't one of them.
So where did the documents come from? N-digits' thesis is that it's coming from the natural intersection point where a lot of this information would be in one place, i.e. the DNI's office. In fact, a former assistant DNI agrees with that:
(Note to board, I could care less how much you hate Breitbart)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/04/15/kash...'That the New York Times and Washington Post 'broke' this story, that also leads me to believe it's the same tradecraft from Russiagate, that when deep state actors want stuff out there, they put it out to their sources,' he said. 'Am I to believe that these two newspapers found this guy out first, before the FBI? That's absurd. That's the timeline we're being told. So now, we have better investigators at the New York Times and the Washington Post than in the FBI?'
'This is an extensive cover-up,' Patel said of Teixeira's arrest. 'It's going to go on for some time, and they needed a quick victory. This kid should be prosecuted, no questions asked, no questions about it in my mind ' he broke the law and needs to be prosecuted.'I don't agree with everything he's saying. For one, we're not 'failing' in the Ukraine. There just aren't enough Ukrainians to throw Putin out of their country unless we give them our best stuff. So the current crisis is going to become a bloody stalemate and a meatgrinder for the poor saps the Russians send there.
No...what was really interesting in the documents was what pertained to China. And what was that, exactly?
https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/11/china/china-pentago....
Another said Nicaragua was negotiating with a Chinese company for the construction of a deepwater port on its Caribbean coast, attributing this information to signals intelligence.
The brief also said, without providing a source, that Nicaragua 'probably would consider offering Beijing naval access in exchange for economic investment.' China has not stated aspirations to acquire overseas basing or military access in the country, it added.Oh, but they will. Right now they have essentially secured ownership of the Panama Canal. It's only a matter of time before some socialist central American country invites the PLAN in for good. Remember when I told you're their putting their Navy on the world's economic choke points? Here's another one.
The docs also talked about balloons...lots of them:
https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/39516...Intelligence agencies refer to the balloon that traveled across the country before being shot down as Killeen-23. The documents the Post reviewed also mention balloons referred to as Bulger-21 and Accardo-21, but they do not make clear if these are the ones that flew over the carrier and crashed into the sea, respectively.
A document produced by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) states that Bulger-21 carried surveillance equipment while circumnavigating the world from December 2021 to May 2022. Accardo-21 carried similar equipment and a 'foil-lined gimbaled' sensor. For those who don't follow aviation, the names refer to the "Callsigns" that each aircraft navigating the globe gets. Most civilian planes are simple: "DAL1538" just took off crom LaGuardia. Others are for various militaries. "RRR4533" is an RAF Airbus that likely just dropped some weapons off in Poland. What's amusing about the callsigns picked for the balloons is that all the names are famous gangsters. Somebody in the Air Force has a non-woke sense of humor. Good.
And of course this all points to the reason why 2027 might be spicy:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/taiwan-highly...The assessments state that Taiwan officials doubt their air defenses can 'accurately detect missile launches,' that barely more than half of Taiwan's aircraft are fully mission capable and that moving the jets to shelters would take at least a week ' a huge problem if China launched missiles before Taiwan had a chance to disperse those planes.
The classified documents addressing a potential conflict suggest China's air force would have a much better shot at establishing early control of the skies ' a strategy that Taipei itself believes will underpin an attack ' than Russia did in Ukraine....and that of course is game over for Taiwan.
As I said, if you know what to look for in the news you'll see lots of stuff getting out there that normally doesn't go out there.
