Introduction: The Collapse of Competence
WHERE IS NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR MIKE WALTZ??? HE SHOULD BE FRONT AND CENTER AT THESE HEARINGS INSTEAD OF #Gabbard, #RATCLIFF AND PATEL!
I care deeply for the Trump administration. I pray for them without fail every day and night. As a biblical scholar for 35 years I also still stay cognizant that I still know nothing as I ought. 1 Corinthians 8:2. I also understand that knowledge puffs up and love builds up 1 Corinthians 8:1. But when I asked the Lord about what @realDonaldTrump and @SusieWiles should do about the latest security failure via Mike Waltz adding a journalist over the signal app, the answer I got back was simple: "Tell the truth". Not only is lying a violation of one of God's Ten Commandments", but lying only causes a mistake to take on an even uglier snowball effect that has even more consequences. In a situation like this, saying "we are looking into how this happened, we obviously made a mistake and we're going to get to the bottom of it" is a much better response than getting off a plane and outright lying to the American public. I initially and still do feel the person most responsible is National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, for adding Goldberg to the chat in the first place and I initially felt it wasn't Pete's fault for sending the message because he trusted his NSA to add only appropriate people to the group. Then I learned it was over Signal, an unauthorized platform, which he shouldn't have been on. To make matters worse, and I mean really worse, Hegseth doomed his career by getting off the plane and possibly outright lying to the American People. I'm sorry Pete, but now You have sealed your own fate, and It's sad.
If what #Goldberg is alleging is all true, than the Trump administration has just suffered what may be the most catastrophic national security breach in modern American history—and the initial responsibility lands squarely at the feet of National Security Advisor @MikeWaltz47, Defense Secretary @PeteHegseth, and, disturbingly, @VP @JDVance. But really, every single person in that chat should have known that wasn't the platform for such a discussion. But since #Waltz set it up, maaaaybeee lower level staff could have assumed it was somehow secure? I'm trying hard to give the benefit of the doubt but you can read how hard it is for me to do that so...no. Not only did these top officials leak highly classified war plans for the U.S. bombing campaign in Yemen on an unsecured Signal chat, but they also did so with such nonchalance and ignorance that they included a journalist—@JeffreyGoldberg of #TheAtlantic their war council without realizing it.
If this were a movie, it would be written off as a satire. Unfortunately, it's all too real. And while the Trump administration has long railed against the dangers of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) hiring and praised "meritocracy," this blunder makes a strong argument for whether these men were selected based on merit. If they had been, one has to wonder if we would be watching the collapse of operational security in real time. Listen folks, PLEASE believe me, when I say God has a way of humbling people and this is what is happening here. I don't wish it on anyone but this is how God uses our own pride and sin against us to root it out and it's not fun. @realDonaldTrump, Please embrace it however and purge the top wrongdoers from among you and just admit, "we messed up and people will be held accountable".
This is not only a violation of national defense procedures, but potentially of the Espionage Act. It is incompetence so grave that it borders on criminal negligence.
And please Mr. President, Mike Waltz must go. And now, since Pete #Hegseth allegedly lied, there's nothing you can do to save him. Furthermore, none of these people had the decency to pull you aside and say "Mr. President, heads up, there's been a situation involving leaked war plans to a Journalist, we must acknowledge it and heads are going to roll but give us time to sort it out". But instead, they all let Trump be blindsided in front of the media and this has me very upset. I disagree with our commander in chief on some major issues but I still have a profound sense of respect for his authority and loyalty must be maintained to protect his image and reputation, as well as that of our country, which should have been done by informing him so he doesn't look blindsided. Unfortunately, his cabinet completely let him down if he truly didn't know and I believe by the way he questioned the journalist asking him questions about the matter during his latest cabinet meeting, that Trump didn't know and for that reason as well, NSA Waltz and Hegseth must go. Hegseth is the hardest loss to deal with because now we need another whole new confirmation process but that is HEGSETH's fault for lying. His trust and credibility is in the toilet now and irredeemable. Please Mr. President, don't insult the intelligence of the American people, replace Pete with Colonel @DougAMacgregor and replace Waltz with Professor Jeffrey Sachs.
I. The Timeline of the Breach: A Comedy of Errors with Consequences
According to Jeffrey Goldberg, the story began on Tuesday, March 11, when he received a Signal connection request from someone identified as Michael Waltz:
"I received a connection request on Signal from a user identified as Michael Waltz. Signal is an open-source encrypted messaging service popular with journalists and others who seek more privacy than other text messaging services... I assumed that the Michael Waltz in question was President Donald Trump’s national security adviser. I did not assume, however, that the request was from the actual Michael Waltz... I accepted the connection request hoping that this was the actual national security adviser and that he wanted to chat about Ukraine or Iran or some other important matter."
Just two days later, on Thursday, March 13, Goldberg was added to a group chat titled:
"Houthi PC Small Group"
In the very first message, Mike Waltz wrote:
"Team, establishing a principles group for coordination on Houthis, particularly for over the next 72 hours. My deputy Alex Wong is putting together a tiger team at deputies, agent, and chief of staff level following up from the meeting in the Situation Room this morning for action items and will be sending that over later this evening."
This message alone violates multiple protocols. A journalist with no security clearance was now reading strategy directives originating from the Situation Room—the very heartbeat of classified presidential deliberation.
II. The Smoking Gun: Hegseth Sends the Strike Plan
The most damning part came on March 15, when Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth sent Goldberg:
"a war plan at 11:44 a.m."
Goldberg writes:
"The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing."
Two hours later, those bombs fell on Yemen. And while the public was still unaware, Goldberg watched the strikes unfold in real time. This is not speculation. This is a timeline-confirmed national security failure.
III. The Signal Chain of Abject failure: Who Was Involved?
The #Signal chat included:
-Mike Waltz (National Security Advisor)
-Pete Hegseth (Secretary of Defense)
-JD Vance (Vice President)
-John Ratcliffe (CIA Director)
- @SteveWitkoff (Special Envoy To Middle East)
-Stephen Miller (Domestic Policy Advisor)
-Brian Hughes (NSC Spokesman)
-Alex Wong (Deputy to Waltz)
-Jeffrey Goldberg (Journalist, accidentally included)
Notably, these are Principals Committee-level officials. This is the highest echelon of American power and intelligence coordination. Their casual mishandling of classified material is unprecedented.
IV. The Hypocrisy of the Anti-DEI, Pro-Meritocracy Rhetoric
This scandal utterly obliterates any pretense that these men were appointed based on "merit." For years, conservatives—including Hegseth and Miller—have railed against DEI initiatives, claiming such programs put unqualified individuals in positions of power based on identity rather than ability.
Yet here we have a hand-picked cabinet of allegedly meritocratic minds who:
-Created a war chat on an unauthorized platform
-Failed to recognize a journalist in the group
-Shared sensitive operational plans before execution
-Celebrated the attack and likely deaths of men women and children with emojis (fist bumps, fire, flags, muscle flexes)
-Engaged in juvenile banter about European allies while planning strikes
This is not meritocracy. This is buffoonery, wrapped in delusion, tied together with reckless arrogance. If DEI appointments were ever this disastrous, conservative media would not stop demanding resignations. The hypocrisy is staggering. Like I said earlier, this is a stern rebuke and humbling by the Lord Jesus Christ as well. The Trump administration must STOP belittling their opposition. Stop calling them lunatics and belittling them. They are also made in God's image and He takes offense to you demeaning them. Their angels stand before God night and day just like our angels do, hoping for their salvations. THIS is why we are supposed to PRAY for our enemies, so they are released from the powers of darkness, just as we hope someone would pray for us if we should ever go astray or make mistakes. So now God has humbled this administration and not only should this administration be made aware of this but the Lord would have you know, this is a LIGHT rebuke and it could have been much worse. Please heed this rebuke and repent from your hateful, proud and arrogant behavior towards your opposition.
V. Curt Weldon's Warning Revisited: They Knew Bin Laden Wasn’t in Afghanistan
Mike Waltz’s involvement in #Afghanistan policy and his aggressive promotion of military actions that cost countless lives now takes on an even darker shade. Former Congressman Curt Weldon, Vice Chair of the House Armed Services Committee, has already exposed how:
-Able Danger identified Mohamed Atta and al-Qaeda cells a year before 9/11
-The CIA and DOD suppressed those findings
-Intelligence insiders knew Bin Laden was not in Afghanistan, but in Iran’s Baluchistan region
Despite this, Waltz continued to promote the endless war in Afghanistan—a war that he knew was not targeting Bin Laden. This isn’t just a blunder. It’s blood for profit—a campaign that cost thousands of American and Afghan lives and filled the coffers of defense contractors.
VI. Legal Ramifications: Espionage Act and Beyond
According to legal analysts consulted by The Atlantic and CNN:
-This breach may violate the Espionage Act. John Kiriakou, former CIA officer convicted of violating the Espionage Act posted the following on X regarding this situation" This leak violates the Espionage Act. Clinton-appointed Judge Leonie Brinkema ruled in my case that accidental or not, "providing national defense information to any person not entitled to receive it is espionage." It's time to revise the outdated, politicized 1917 Espionage Act."
-It also raises issues under the Federal Records Act and handling of national defense information. It's alleged that Waltz set the conversation for deletion which violates that act.
-Sharing classified intel on unauthorized platforms like Signal is a direct violation of federal communication protocols
VII. Public Fallout: An Administration in Freefall
This has already become a national security nightmare:
-The NSC has confirmed the authenticity of the messages
-Democrats are demanding hearings
-Journalists and veterans alike are stunned by the recklessness
-Former CIA Director Leon Panetta called it a breach that could have jeopardized lives and operations
Even JD Vance, the Vice President, tried to oppose the bombing but was overruled by this cabal of warmongers. That is unacceptable. The VP has more seniority than Waltz, and allowing himself to be ignored during a war plan is a dereliction of duty.
VIII. The Case for Immediate Termination
Let’s be blunt:
-Mike Waltz is not fit to serve as National Security Advisor
-Pete Hegseth should resign in disgrace
-JD Vance must explain why he failed to act decisively
-Stephen Miller, a civilian policy advisor, had no business in a classified war chat
This is not merely grounds for dismissal. This is grounds for prosecution.
IX. What Must Be Done
-Immediate investigation by the DOJ and House Intelligence Committee
-Termination of all involved pending investigation. What about JD Vance? Nixon resigned didn't he? This is bad folks. Even if Vance doesn't step down this is a serious rebuke by God and at a minimum this in my opinion obliterates JD Vance's chances at a 2028 nomination.
-Revocation of security clearances
-Permanent disqualification from holding any security-related position
-Filing of RICO complaints if it’s discovered this breach benefited defense contractors or was coordinated for profit because we all know the push for war is fueled by the MIC and this is why a closer look needs to be had at Waltz and Stephen Miller who has done well distancing himself from project 2025 and the Heritage foundation.
Conclusion: A Reckoning Is Due
This isn’t about partisan politics. This is about national security, military ethics, and the public’s right to be protected from reckless leadership. In my opinion I also feel this breach was punishment by God causing such a lapse in judgement for engaging in war for profit in the first place as well as the Genocide taking place in #GAZA that the United States and war mongers like Waltz, Hegseth, @CIADirector, and #Witkoff are supporting.
This is about every soldier who died or lost a limb in Afghanistan under the direction of men like Mike Waltz. This is about every Afghan civilian bombed in a war that was knowingly misdirected. This is about a government that leaks classified information while punishing whistleblowers, that wraps itself in the flag while trampling on the very oaths it swore to uphold. More importantly, firing Waltz will force him to confront his sins and hopefully lead to his private confessions with The Lord Jesus Christ, because we don't want his soul lost either. We care about NSA Mike Waltz. But Like God told David why he couldn't build a temple for the Lord, "there was too much blood on his hands", the same applies to Waltz."1 Chronicles 22:7-8 (ESV)"David said to Solomon, 'My son, I had it in my heart to build a house to the name of the Lord my God. But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have waged great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed so much blood before me on the earth.’" Consider that the wars waged by David were deemed righteous in God's sight, whereas the wars Waltz has waged were built on deception and lies.
Waltz must take some time out with the Lord, humble himself, and if he hasn't accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, he needs to do that. If he already has, he must realize his sins and repent and renew his relationship with Christ who will welcome him with open arms into the Kingdom of God as will I and all in the Kingdom upon his true heartfelt repentance. I pray for Mike Waltz but there are spiritual consequences and true Christians who have God's ear have prayed for this exposure that will hopefully lead to Waltz removal, repentance, and restoration to Jesus Christ and ultimately his salvation and the same now needs to happen with Hegseth. But we don't write these men off into the abyss of shame and scorn. We pray as Jesus prayed for Peter, that they would be restored, not to their positions in the Trump cabinet, but restored to eternal Salvation in Jesus Christ. Please Mr. President, put Colonel Douglas McGregor in as Secretary Of Defense and Professor Sachs in as National Security Advisor.
Mike Waltz must resign. Pete Hegseth must resign. And Donald J. Trump must demonstrate that he values American lives over incompetence and loyalty.
Anything less would be the final proof that this administration has forfeited the right to be entrusted with power. There is no gray area. No excuse. No backroom pass.
Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth must go. And they must go now. Mr. President, Take responsibility, hold your staff accountable and restore the integrity of your presidency and restore the trust of the American people.
May The Salvation, Grace, Mercy, And Peace Of The Lord Jesus Christ Be With You All.
In His Love,
~WLBJ~
