Who the hell is doing the hiring at the Pentagon and its affiliate bases?

How did some racist, anti-semitic, 20-something-year-old right wing gun nutter dipshit working at one our our military bases get clearance for top-secret documents? I'm guessing that his moniker "OG" might stand for "Original Gangster".

This goes deeper than just the fool who leaked the documents (re. Pentagon info and internal opinions on Ukrainian-Russian war).

1. That's what I want to know, too, f_townsend!

The FBI and the military and the Secret Service and the CIA are dangerously infiltrated with militant white nationalists and nazi sympathizers.

This goes deeper than just the fool who leaked the documents (re. Pentagon info and internal opinions on Ukrainian-Russian war).

You're so right about that.

2. Pentagon doesn't run the background checks for the Air National Guard.

3. Ok, I see that it now breaking news

No reason, though, that he should have had clearance to access Pentagon documents. That's a Pentagon mistake, even if they didn't directly hire him.

4. Why does a state national guard need access to federal and foreign military intelligence?

That’s the larger issue here beyond the public leaks. National intelligence materials should not be farmed out or accessible to state units that have an entirely different purpose.

5. I want answers to your question, too!

It is shocking that this guy had routine access to these documents. Why? I haven't read the WP article yet, but my understanding is that some of these documents were only accessible in a SCIF (or whatever abbreviation) where electronic devices like cameras are not allowed. Did this guy have some kind of '007 secret agent' pen camera or something? If so, where did he get it?

Our government is so infiltrated, it will take generations to clean-up, if ever. Reminds me of the remarks made by Gramsci. Before the revolution, we need to walk the long hallways of power (or something like that). Then, when the revolution starts, it's already won. The problem with this is the wrong side did the walking. They infest government from the bottom, up, thinning out only where democracy is still working, although on its last legs.
