Previously unpublished videos and documents have revealed the racist rantings, obsession with guns, and alleged violent fantasies of accused Pentagon leaker Jack Teixeira. The 21-year-old National Guard member was arrested last month and charged with leaking classified US defense documents in an online chat group.
The uncovered material paints a disturbing portrait of Teixeira at a shooting range, spewing racist slurs before raising a semi-automatic rifle and firing repeatedly. Additionally, leaked documents posted online unveiled US concerns about Ukraine's military capacity against invading Russian forces, as well as Washington's apparent spying on allies Israel and South Korea.
Teixeira worked as an information technology specialist with the Massachusetts Air National Guard. He is accused of using his top-secret clearance to obtain and leak dozens of classified documents in the Discord chat room he managed, where he was jokingly known as "Jack the Dripper."
In court last month, federal prosecutors claimed that Teixeira had a history of making 'violent' statements and owned numerous weapons. The prosecution also claimed that the airman sought advice from another Discord user about what type of rifle would be easy to operate from the back of an SUV.

An investigation by The Washington Post has revealed that Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira—who is connected to highly sensitive classified document leaks—was preparing for what he imagined would be an inevitable race war. The previously unreleased videos analyzed by The Post showed Teixeira was obsessed with guns and the potential of a race war, as evidenced by footage of him shooting a semi-automatic rifle while reciting racist language.
Teixeira also had access to numerous military documents over an extended period, which he reportedly intended to use in his violent struggle against perceived adversaries. Those close to Teixeira noted how his gun obsession intertwined with his admitted racism—he frequently used the term "race war."
As Teixeira remains in custody and awaits further legal proceedings, these revelations expose a deeply troubling mindset held by someone who once held top-level security clearance within the US National Guard.
