The FBI arrested a TDS-afflicted staffer at the Defense Intelligence Agency for attempting to sell classified information:

U.S. Government Employee Arrested for Attempting to Provide Classified Information to Foreign Government​

Thursday, May 29, 2025
For Immediate Release
Office of Public Affairs

An IT specialist employed by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was arrested today for attempting to transmit national defense information to an officer or agent of a foreign government.

Nathan Vilas Laatsch, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia, was arrested today in northern Virginia, and will make his initial court appearance in the Eastern District of Virginia tomorrow.

According to court documents, Laatsch became a civilian employee of the DIA in 2019, where he works with the Insider Threat Division and holds a Top Secret security clearance. In March 2025, the FBI commenced an operation after receiving a tip that an individual — now known to be Laatsch — offered to provide classified information to a friendly foreign government. In that email, the sender wrote that he did not “agree or align with the values of this administration” and was therefore “willing to share classified information” that he had access to, including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation.”

After multiple communications with an FBI agent — who Laatsch allegedly believed to be an official of the foreign government — Laatsch began transcribing classified information to a notepad at his desk and, over the course of approximately three days, repeatedly exfiltrated the information from his workspace. Laatsch subsequently confirmed to the FBI agent that he was prepared to transmit the information.

Thereafter, the FBI implemented an operation at a public park in northern Virginia, where Laatsch believed he would deposit the classified information for the foreign government to retrieve. On or about May 1, 2025, FBI surveillance observed Laatsch proceed to the specified location and deposit an item. Following Laatsch’s departure, the FBI retrieved the item, which was a thumb drive later found to contain a message from Laatsch and multiple typed documents, each containing information that was portion-marked up to the Secret or Top Secret levels. The message from Laatsch indicated that he had chosen to include “a decent sample size” of classified information to “decently demonstrate the range of types of products” to which he had access.

After receiving confirmation that the thumb drive had been received, on May 7, Laatsch allegedly sent a message to the FBI agent, which indicated Laatsch was seeking something from the foreign government in return for continuing to provide classified information. The next day, Laatsch specified that he was interested in “citizenship for your country” because he did not “expect[] things here to improve in the long term.” Although he said he was “not opposed to other compensation,” he was not in a position where he needed to seek “material compensation.”

On May 14, the FBI agent advised Laatsch that it was prepared to receive additional classified information. Between May 15 and May 27, Laatsch again repeatedly transcribed multiple pages of notes while logged into his classified workstation, folded the notes, and exfiltrated the classified information in his clothing.

On May 29, Laatsch arrived at a prearranged location in northern Virginia, where Laatsch again allegedly attempted to transmit multiple classified documents to the foreign country. Laatsch was arrested upon the FBI’s receipt of the documents.

Sue J. Bai, head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, U.S. Attorney Erik S. Siebert for the Eastern District of Virginia, Assistant Director Roman Rozhavsky of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, and Executive Director Lee M. Russ of Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) Office of Special Projects made the announcement.

The FBI Washington Field Office is investigating the case, with valuable assistance provided by the U.S. Air Force OSI and with thanks to the Defense Intelligence Agency for its cooperation.

Trial Attorneys Christina Clark and Mark Murphy of the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Kromberg for the Eastern District of Virginia are prosecuting the case.

A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

My favorite stupid conspiracy theory is that stupid conspiracy theories are themselves a conspiracy, with a whole wing of the CIA dedicated to crafting conspiracy theories and seeding them in the population via obscure forums and shitty websites for the express purpose of making conspiracy theorists look stupid.

My apologies for being off topic but you youngins need to learn the truth.

Were you watching the news much back then? The government wasn't paying retards to hold "BUSH DID 9/11" signs on the white house lawn. They are aware that retards exist and are going to do and say retarded things. The government and the media took the retards and used them to deflect EVERY sensible argument about 9/11 skeptcism. The phrase "conspiracy theory" was not common vernacular on Septemper 10th.

-Frothing retard says 9/11 was caused by lizard controlled space lasers.
-News picks it up. "Tonight on CNN. Check out this retard."
-A moderately sized group of people notice inconsistencies in the government story.
-The media creates a new group called "9/11 Truthers" that contains both retard with space lasers and middle aged school teachers that didn't understand why the Bin Laden family was escorted out of the country by government charter when every single flight in North America had been grounded indefinitely.
-Middle aged school teacher goes on the news, points out an inconsistency in the official story, then is screamed down by an entire panel of people.
-NPCs now believe any and everyone that disagrees with the government's official story believes in lizards with space lasers.

There was a hyperaggresive push from all institutional pillars of power at the time to promote that the 9/11 report, or whatever it was called, was 100% the God's honest, infallible truth, and anyone that suggested otherwise was a blaphemer and was publicly stoned. Saying that the government fucked over the firefighters that died from being exposed to toxic chemicals caused the media to associate regular ass people with Alex Jones, and most normies at the time though Alex was an absolute lunatic. It would immediately destroy your public and professional credibility. It's the exact same shit they did with doctors that tried blowing the whistle during COVID. A lot of them had their medical licenses revoked for telling the American public the truth when the government and media demanded we believe the lie.

In my book, that counts as a psyop. The neo-faggots on boths teams wanted globohomo, but most of the world's leadership have a 90IQ but think it's 190. Anytime they try to execute something genuinely complicated, they fuck it up, I.E. trying to turn prehistoric cave cultures into taxable wagies. The fucked up world we live in today is the result of their successes, not their failures. The only reason it didn't work is because they're kind of stupid and most Asians/Niggers really don't like fags or catching lip from their women.

Sometimes. I think in this case though Greenwald's cash transfer to his Brazilian male "prostitute" or master or whatever was bad enough.

The strange thing is that if the footage is correct, the video is from a year ago so someone just sat on it for a while.

pretty much every government does this, in china you lease it for 70 years o algo

In the UK you have Leasehold and Freehold. Leasehold is that but it's not a common thing, it mostly pertains to apartments and whatnot. China's system is semi-new, a product of some reforms and an amended constitution in 1988; nobody alive in China right now has had to experience what happens at the end of the lease period, it's that new. Commercial property supposedly has a max-lease time of 50 years so we'll see the earliest seizures in 2038.

The DNC is mad about the deportations not because they actually care about the people being deported. What they're actually mad about is that the largest source of cheap labor is gonna be gone (second largest is the people in the prison system).

They're actually just mad that something harmful to America is being stopped.

Vice President JD Vance says the legacy media is DYING:

“They've got a lower approval rating, traditional media does, than Congress, which is actually a very hard thing to do. It's almost a skill in and of itself to have a lower approval rating than Congress, but somehow CBS, NBC, and ABC have managed to do it.”

How is Trump chickening out on tariffs? He fights to keep them and will give a respite to those who bend the knee (EU) or are genuinely working on a deal (Japan).

And I bet the EU goes nowhere and they get ramped up right for summer season and they pretend it’s the reason tourism is down in Europe instead of rapefugees making the place a less worthwhile location compared to Hawaii or east Asia.

He's not. It's the same trick they tried with Ann Coulter, who is a Uniparty asset designed to waste the right's time and energy by getting them to go after unsustainable indefensible talking points so the left can attack them for them.

Ann Coulter, after having been paid to help push Trump during the "Pied Piper" strategy, would then be tasked with going on every conservative show or podcast that would possibly allow her on, where she'd say "He still hasn't built the wall, you know?" the first thing when she arrived and generally try and fracture the MAGA base via snake tounged venom.

Of course, what the used up old uniparty cunt wasn't telling anyone was he was trying, but the left was abusing process and procedure and engaging RINOs to prevent him from building said wall. But that wasn't the point. The point was to smear him with failure and get his base to turn on him for "not doing enough."

TACO is the same thing. He's pushing tarrifs and they're literally conspiring to have part time traffic court judges that aren't even American citizens come out of the woodwork to declare that no, he's not allowed to do that just because he fucking isn't, ok? And when the SCOTUS says "yes he is" their response has been "I SAY HE ISN'T, PENDEJO" and keep trying to gum up the works with infinite legal rulings. He literally can't do much more than go full dictator on them, and that has to be on some level what they want.

So, TACO. "He's not doing enough! It's his fault the left is abusing process and procedure because they'd rather the entire system be broken down than someone else's ideas for how things be done be listened to for even 5 seconds! BLAME HIM!!!! BE MAD AT HIM!! STOP SUPPORTING HIM!!!!"

They aren't allowed to recognize that she's fat, ugly, and unfuckable. That there's absolutely no way any men not a 2/10 or a simp would go after her. Because they are not only prohibited from recognizing this they're actively forced to pretend it's not true, it means her claiming to be an expert in heterosexual men REQUIRES them to clap, loudly, and support her. To do anything else would be expressing disbelief, and that goes against the religion that states a 350 pound solid 3/10 butterface with a 85 IQ and personal hygine issues has absolutely nothing wrong with her and is a kween, chuds!
