Are We Still Talking About This Cringe GayOp?

Unfortunately we are.

A commenter linked a xeet in which the user speculated that Jeffrey Goldberg, Real Reporter and Totally Not a Democrat Political Operative, held on to a "scoop" he had two weeks ago to release it on the day that Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe testified before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, for the purpose of badgering Trump officials into not using Signal.

Which Biden approved the use of, btw.

And they did this so that their allies in the Administration could once again spy on them using hacker back-doors into the government's email systems.

Why hold on to a fake "scoop" for so long if not for a political attack purpose? People release scoops ASAP because there's always the chance someone will out-scoop you first. How did Jeffrey Goldberg know he wasn't the only person accidentally added to the chat?

So no, he held it for one reason only, to give his Democrat bosses time to plan a coordinated op.

Matt Margolis reports that Little Jeffrey has trouble even responding to the Tough and Probing Questions offered by... The Bulwark.

The Administration says that none of the texts Jeffrey Goldberg were classified, which means they are officially un-classified and Jeffrey Goldberg can legally release them.

Instead, he plays a game where he insists that he saw all sorts of "war plans" and Top Secrets but he can't say what they were because Sacred Honor compels him.

The Bulwark's nasty Professional Homosexual Tim Miller (the others are hobbyists only) has trouble understanding why Goldberg just won't release the Totally Classified Texts given that the Administration says they're not classified at all.

The Democrats' latest effort to manufacture a Trump administration scandal blew up in their faces this week after Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, reported that he was somehow included in an encrypted Signal chat group with top administration officials discussing a planned attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen. According to Goldberg, officials discussed classified and/or top-secret war plans.
No one disputes that Goldberg was erroneously included in the chat, but the real issue is whether classified or top-secret war plans were actually discussed.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe and DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard testified that nothing classified or top secret was discussed in the chat. Others in the administration have said the same thing.
Goldberg had been given the opening to release the chats in their entirety to prove them wrong. But he insisted that he wouldn't.
During an interview on The Bulwark Podcast with Tim Miller, Goldberg repeatedly evaded calls to produce evidence, raising serious questions about the credibility of his claims.
Miller directly challenged Goldberg, pointing out that top Trump administration officials had accused him of lying. "Now, the Secretary of Defense and the White House Press Secretary have said you're lying, have said there are no war plans there, have said there's no classified information," Miller stated. "So the obvious question is, shouldn't you now demonstrate it? Shouldn't you publish the text?"
Goldberg flatly refused. "No, because they're wrong. They're wrong," he insisted, offering no proof to back up his claims.
Here's the problem with that claim: In the encrypted chat, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz explicitly mentioned the participants' "high side" inboxes, a reference to the classified system. This made it clear they knew certain topics couldn't be discussed on the Signal platform.
Miller pressed Goldberg further in the interview, asking whether he would at least provide the alleged messages to congressional intelligence committees. Instead of responding substantively, Goldberg deflected with sarcasm. "Wow. What? You wanna become my lawyer?" he quipped with an annoyed tone. He clearly wasn't comfortable with the line of questioning, and I got the sense he was hiding something.
As the conversation continued, Goldberg struggled to justify his refusal to produce evidence, resorting to vague justifications. "Just because they're irresponsible with material doesn't mean that I'm gonna be irresponsible with this material," he said. He further attempted to cast doubt on the administration's credibility, suggesting officials were merely trying to "get out of a jam."
In a final attempt to defend his decision, Goldberg framed it as a matter of principle. "I have a pretty clear standard in my own behavior of what I consider... information that I consider to be in the public interest, even if it's technically classified or not," he said, adding that he was "sticking to my principles."

Muh Prinzibuhls! The fake reporter claims that his journalistic prinzibuhls demand that he not release information which the government says is not classified and therefore perfectly legal to report.

Please brah, you gotta believe me brah, those texts were totally filled with Top Secret War Plans, I just can't prove it brah, muh prinzibuhls won't allow me to vindicate my name, you just have to believe me brah.

On Jan 1, 2024, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin went AWOL for 3 days while US troops were under attack from Houthi terrorists. Biden did not know where Austin was yet did not fire him.

No one on the dem side called for Austin's public firing.

78 Umm, since the strikes have already happened and whatever they discussed is now old news, what exact principle is Goldberg abiding by now?

Did Hegseth rattle off the plans for the Houthis for the next year or something?

Because I'm pretty sure the plans were: Fly in, bomb 'em, bomb 'em harder, and bomb 'em a third time just to make sure.

Is this reporter just happy his name is in the news again and he wants this good luck to go on forever until the NY Times hires him?

87 You know how I know it is a BOOM? Because there is no discussion on Free Republic this morning.

Silence on the topic there means they are very afraid it is real, and they have not heard the latest party line on how to deal with developments.

tRump condemned Goldberg yestereday. Usually when he does something like that, they are busy inventing variations on that, embellishing or imagining dirt, etc. Today? Silence, at least when I looked a few minutes ago. Such a big ongoing unfolding story and nothing.

In their first month, Hogsbreath & Vance made "rookie mistakes" re Nato & foreign policy. How many more rookie mistakes?

This is something of a big f'n deal. Of course the plans were classified, but the administration painted themselves into a corner with their testimony.

It's gonna be tough to go after him now, but watch them try anyway. Suddenly every one of them will twist themselves into legal knots to justify taking The Atlantic down.

Yup.
He's an alleged top reporter.
He's covered the Trump classified docs case.
In which Walt N. is specifically charged with "mishandling classified information" merely because he should have known the boxes contained classified info.
Because the law says, if you know it's classified, you have to take care to not only keep it secure but you MUST immediately report it to the proper authority.

Question: Did he comply with the law that he knew he was breaking by retaining said alleged classified information?

152 I'll bet there has been people convicted of wiretapping laws for remaining in private channels instead of removing themselves or alerting the other members.

But yeah, what exactly are you to make of the ethics of someone who knows they are eavesdropping on a conversation they KNOW they are not invited to?

And, as others have noted, it's been strongly suggested that his name in the chat wasn't "Jeffery Goldberg."

So, it's like stealing an ID badge to get into a secure area, since his presence was under false pretenses.
"But I found the badge on the ground!" isn't a defense.

It details strikes with F-18s, MQ-9 drones, and Tomahawks starting March 26, 2025, to disrupt shipping attacks.

They made their bed by indoctrinating a couple of generations of America's youth.

Now, some of those youth are getting older and realizing how totally brainwashed they were and are mad about it.

The youngest generation is going to the right because the propaganda and indoctrination from the left got so ridiculously overbearing since COVID that they resent all of them for it.

Yeah, they're stuck with older people who still trust the news and single females who've been trained to see government as Backup Daddy and the Democrats as their Church.

They've got to keep going like they've been going for decades.

To do anything else would be to admit they're nothing but propagandist liars who seek total power through forced group-think and cultism.

The smartest thing for them to do would be to just shut up and wait around for a huge recession to make them more palatable again, like 2008.

Unmothball a battleship
Attach the battleship to a carrier group for protection from missile/drones
Destroy every port/town that the pirates are coming out of with the battleship's cannons - note all of it not "military targets"
Once they are all destroyed, thank the Houthis for giving us needed target practice and tell them you'll be back any time they feel the itch to go pirating.

So all the other passengers take a cue from him and they start whipping it out and beating like mad.

In "Under Orders, Under Fire (Part 2)", Mike Wallace given a scenario where, in the course of embedded reporting on the enemy side, he came across info on a possible attack on US soldiers. He was asked whether he would warn them. He said that he would not. He's a reporter first, and an American second. To him, the story wins out. Peter Jennings, to his credit, said that he would warn the soldiers. Wallace was shocked that Jennings would do that.

Wallace exhibited the ethics of a certain class of reporter, of which it seems that there are many of these days. Jeffrey Goldberg is typical of that modern-day class. So, it seems, is Mike's son Chris.

Posted by: Hour of the Wolf at March 26, 2025 02:23 PM (VNX3d)

297 287 In 1989, PBS broadcasted a series called Ethics In America, hosted by Fred Friendly. In "Under Orders, Under Fire (Part 2)", Mike Wallace given a scenario where, in the course of embedded reporting on the enemy side, he came across info on a possible attack on US soldiers. He was asked whether he would warn them. He said that he would not. He's a reporter first, and an American second. To him, the story wins out. Peter Jennings, to his credit, said that he would warn the soldiers. Wallace was shocked that Jennings would do that.

Wallace exhibited the ethics of a certain class of reporter, of which it seems that there are many of these days. Jeffrey Goldberg is typical of that modern-day class. So, it seems, is Mike's son Chris.

We shouldnt give these people an inch. In fact, if someone lit Goldberg on fire, threw him down a set of metal stairs duct taped to a chair, and then dragged him behind a pickup truck across a gravel road, I would say, “Well there’s something you don’t see every day, anybody else want pancakes? I’m hungry”.

That's a distinct possibility, and should be checked out.

Washington leaks, all of the time, every minute, which is pretty much why trying to stop all leaks in DC is an exercise in futility. In this case, the leak effects were minimal and they have identified the probably culprit to the point that Trump identified publicly that a staffer of Waltz at the NSC was at fault for it.

So better off worrying about more important policy decisions facing us than addressing Goldberg's silly ass story.

Here's the thing. If you receive classified material... doesn't matter how... and you don't IMMEDIATELY notify the authorities and get it away from you, you can expect to spend years in prison.

That's not cope, that's the fucking law. The law that gets used on us all the time. The law which they used as a pretense for raiding DJT's home. The law which doesn't say reporters are exempt.

The people involved say that no classified information was discussed. The reporter says it was but he won't release it. But the thing is... if he has the information, whether he releases it or not, then he's guilty. Now, maybe the administration loves him so much that they're not gonna send him to prison for a few years or, maybe, he's a liar. He has, after all, lied in the past.

Cope, cope, cope.

I've have started reading the Babylonian Talmud but somehow I don't think that particular issue will be addressed. Marriage of a widow to a guy's brother, yes--fantasizing about a dead husband in a sexual way and acting out--not so much.

The whole gist of the thing is what happened to Onan while bopping the bishop. But given that Onan was apparently disobeying a command to be fruitful and multiply by spilling his seed instead, that disobedience might have something to do with it.

I think a better concept is whether or not the activity separates us from the Lord and whether we are denying our wife/or refusing to get into a relationship in order to focus on self pleasure.

Whether that is scripturally accurate under canon or Mosaic law, I dunno.
