These documents were originally leaked by a member of our military, and they were spread in part by Russia’s supporters within our ranks. Bring truth and justice, God!
From The Wall Street Journal. A social-media account overseen by a former U.S. Navy noncommissioned officer—a prominent online voice supporting Russia’s war on Ukraine—played a key role in the spread of intelligence documents allegedly leaked by Airman First Class Jack Teixeira.

A purported Russian blogger known as Donbass Devushka, which translates as Donbas Girl, reposted the files from obscure online chat rooms. The blog is the face of a network of pro-Kremlin social-media, podcasting, merchandise and fundraising accounts. But the person who hosted podcasts as Donbass Devushka and oversees these accounts is a Washington-state-based former U.S. enlisted aviation electronics technician whose real name is Sarah Bils. …
Ms. Bils, 37 years old, served at the U.S. naval air station on Whidbey Island until late last year, even as the accounts she had established and supervised glorified the Russian military and the paramilitary Wagner Group. …
In an interview Saturday at her home in Oak Harbor, Wash., Ms. Bils said she is an administrator of the Donbass Devushka persona, and acknowledged raising funds and hosting podcasts under that name. She added, however, that she is one of 15 people “all over the world” involved in running the Donbass Devushka network. Ms. Bils declined to identify these people.
On April 5, the Donbass Devushka Telegram account posted four of the allegedly leaked classified documents to its 65,000 followers, according to a screenshot seen by The Wall Street Journal. That led several large Russian social-media accounts to pick up on the documents, after which the Pentagon launched an investigation. Ms. Bils says another administrator posted the four files.
There is no evidence that Ms. Bils, who had a security clearance during her Navy service, has used that access to steal any classified information herself. “I obviously know the gravity of top-secret classified materials. We didn’t leak them,” she said. …
Airman Teixeira’s posts had languished online for months, shared among a small circle of fellow war and computer-game enthusiasts who had joined his invitation-only server on the Discord platform. Even after another member reposted the files to a larger Discord server, they remained unnoticed by the broader public. It was only after the posting of some of the files on Donbass Devushka’s account that they turned into fodder for military enthusiasts and Russia supporters across the internet. …
“Some very interesting potential intel,” the Donbass Devushka Telegram account posted on April 5, attaching images of four files that Airman Teixeira allegedly stole from the U.S. military. “The authenticity cannot be confirmed but looks to be very damning nato information.” The post remained online for several days.
Ms. Bils said that another administrator had posted these images, and that she was the one who later deleted them. …
Ms. Bils has recorded podcasts with guests advocating for Russian President Vladimir Putin and opposing U.S. aid to Ukraine, according to a review of the podcast content. As a podcast host, Ms. Bils, originally from New Jersey, spoke with a slight Russian accent and claimed to have been born in Luhansk, in the Russian-controlled Donbas. In an interview, Ms. Bils said she had “some” Russian heritage, without providing details.
Rachel Stevens, a former Navy colleague who worked at the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island with Ms. Bils, said a person in Ms. Bils’s position and rank would have typically held a top-secret clearance because she worked on sensitive avionics. Whidbey Island is the main naval aviation installation in the Pacific Northwest, and is home to all Navy tactical electronic attack squadrons flying the EA-18G Growler, in addition to eight squadrons of P-3 Orion, P-8 Poseidon and EP-3E Aries patrol and reconnaissance aircraft, according to the U.S. Navy website.
No evidence has emerged that anybody associated with Donbass Devushka played a role in Airman Teixeira’s alleged theft and posting of government secrets. …
Ms. Stevens, a photo of whom in a Navy uniform can be seen on the Facebook page of the Whidbey Island facility, said she worked with Ms. Bils in the same room in 2018-2020, before leaving military service. Ms. Stevens said she realized that her former colleague had “started this faux Russian persona online and asking for donations” after Donbass Devushka followed her small Twitter account.
The fact that Donbass Devushka isn’t a Russian from Donbas, as she presented herself online, but an American residing in Washington state, was first disclosed by pro-Ukrainian online open-source intelligence analysts and activists known as NAFO. …
Ms. Bils said in the interview that she doesn’t hate Ukraine or Ukrainians, and that she has long been interested in Eastern Europe. She added that it was “hypocritical” for the International Criminal Court to charge Mr. Putin with war crimes. …

Lord God please give strength power and assistance to our military, national security and police forces throughout this country! Politicians have broken down the strength allowing lawlessness throughout this country grow rapidly! Bless these men and women who seem to be fighting with their hand tied behind their backs! Give them courage and bravery to overcome the large amounts of evil throughout this country! AMEN!
Jesus is coming back soon. Are we ready for the next great event that is to take place on this earth? No, it has nothing to do with the American Government or World affairs and such. We are allowing abortion pills, same sex marriage, not taking care of our children and keeping them safe, who should go to jail and who should not and much more of what the world has told us is important. But, in the meantime many souls are perishing.
Have mercy on us, O God!
Lord, we pray over our military, our national security, and these leaked documents. Protect us, God!
Lord in your Name, the Name of Jesus Christ, and we take authority to stop the breech in our Military information leaked into the hands of the enemy against your Nation, the USA, as we seek revival in the lives of the people to turn back to you. We look to you and seek your face. Continue to work in us repentance with a cry of mercy and grace to set souls free and your glory to turn this nation, this land back to you as our God and King. Let no one and nothing hinder our praise. What the enemy meant for evil against us turn it around to work all things for good. Let the enemy fall into the pit meant against us. Glorify your Holy Name as Lord of Heaven and earth and all in it. Psalm 138:1 I will praise you with my whole heart, Before the gods I will sing praises to you.!!!!
Lord God Jehovah, Please allow a worldwide revival tomaifesg but not my will but yours be done
I ask In Jesus’ Name
Amen
What was the nature of the leaked info?
I am amazed how naïve Christians are to believe our government isn’t part of the problem. When do we hear our leaders talk of Peace? Why not? Maybe they are all bought by the Military-Industrial Complex who want to manufacture more weapons and increase the wealth of the wealthy.
Wake up folks. Believe it or not, the United States motives are not pure in this conflict. We violated our Promise to not expand NATO to assure Brezhnev. We have taunted, the Russians by getting our weapons on their front door, and would we not be troubled if an enemy put missiles on the Canada or Mexico Border? Of course we would.
I was disappointed with the tone of this IFA article. It seems that whoever wrote it believes the mainstream media narrative that Putin and Russia are bad, and the US, NATO, and Ukraine are good. I have heard enough to cause me to question that narrative. It’s hard to know truly what’s going on from thousands of miles away. But with all the saber-rattling by Biden and NATO, not to mention the destruction of the NordStream pipeline, it’s hard to believe that NATO wants peace.
Lord, help us to discern the truth in this situation, and expose any lies and deception in this matter. Bring peace to the war-torn nation of Ukraine.
This was an article written by The Wall Street Journal.
Especially when all parties involved have either been corrupted or are suspected of that with roots in various and questionable activities
Doug, propaganda is a powerful deceiver, please check your own tone in your reply. “It’s hard to know truly what’s going on from thousands of miles away. But with all the saber-rattling by Biden and NATO, not to mention the destruction of the NordStream pipeline, it’s hard to believe that NATO wants peace.”! Your narrative sounds a bit like US and NATO are bad and Putin and Russia are good. Saber rattling on both sides has been going on for years, in the case of Ukraine what is obvious aside from narratives is Russia decided to take saber-retelling to bombing, killing, and mercilessly destroying their next door neighbor. There is no excuse for that. ” And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.” All Mankind including ourselves individually apart from Jesus Christ are “Utterly Depraved” and will continue every form of sin and murder until Jesus final trumpet call. Lets continue to pray for people in USA, Ukraine and Russia and around the world to call on the Lord Jesus Christ our Redeemer for help and peace and salvation and for Him to come quickly.
Everything against the interest of the country must be opposed.
We must be vigilant towards US interests in such a challenging situation.
May Lord Bless and Protect USA 🇺🇸
What exactly is the interest in our country supporting one of the most Corrupt governments in the world? Ukraine, is funneling money to the wealthy, including our own leaders in government.
You cannot believe everything you read, nor can you trust the mainstream media to deliver the truth in these dark and deceptive times. Look at all the lies they have spread over the last several years and how they have squashed the truth over and over again. Watch and pray.
Doubtful this 20 year old had access to these documents…..God protect this young man and his future. I pray that people would begin to see truth through the lies and deception. For eyes to be opened and turn back to God, our rescuer, the One True God.
Amen, Daniel. We pray divine protection for this young man and we pray that TRUTH will prevail. We pray that you, O Lord, would nullify forces of darkness that seek to destroy our nation. For we know that: “righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.”
Have you listened to government spokesman Kirby? He says ‘we the people’ have no right to be informed about the progress of the war! Wake up people, who in our government is strongly advocating for PEACE?
Please brothers and sisters, discern that the greater spiritual wickedness being exposed in these “leaks” is in the very anti-Christ Government that IFA blindly supports. The US Government is spiritually wicked, including our military. I just retired from +32 years of service, and I fought the slide into spiritual wickedness to the end with God’s Word.
We’re to be “wise as serpents but as gentle as doves”, and our Lord God will fight and WIN the battles, in His time.
Our government is all about WAR not Peace! Our government should have little interest in this regional conflict, and instead govern our own country. Imagine what $130 Billion would have done to improve our highways and bridges. Imagine what sending our armaments overseas is accomplishing for the arms industry. Now they get to make more, profit more, get rich at the expense of our citizens.
Anyone who believes that a airman could have access to extremely, extremely top-secret classified documents is clearly not thinking straight. There is no way he had access to any of this. This is all the plans and a scheme to bring in their solution and that solution they’re going to call now is the “Restrict Act.” It’s probably been on the shelf for years trying to find an excuse to go ahead and usher this out. All people will be considered a traitor that go against anything that they might believe. This is a total annihilation of freedom of speech in the first amendment and the fourth amendment and all kinds of terrible things will be enacted by this act that they are about to pass, all under the guise of we have to stop people from posting things on the Internet that shouldn’t be there. Who gets to decide that?
Please, and With all due respect please wake up and see the light. “My people perish from lack of knowledge.“. Everything the government does is in response to something that they’ve created.
As I said, there is no way this airman had access to this type of documents. This is all a ploy and excuse to usher in their new one world agenda and control freedom of speech. They have to take out America in order to usher in their one world order, one world currency, one world religion. Please, please get on your knees and cry out to God because he is the only one that will be able to save America from what is about to occur and it was written in the Bible as we know it.
How about the Biden Crime Family? The fact they exposed how the government lies and can’t be trusted.
My heart goes out to the 21-year-old national guard it’s men who began this whole wicked scheme. Obviously, laws have been broken and there needs to be proper punishment and accountability for that. But as a mama with a son who is in the national guard and who has many of the same interests as this s young man, my heart cries out for his destiny not to be stolen by the evil one. From the beginning as I prayed I perceived that there was deep deception going on here. Father, deliver our young men and women from the deceiver. Continue to expose every wicked plot against this nation and continue to pour out your love unbroken people who do foolish and wicked and unlawful things believing that they are somehow doing good. Redeem these circumstances For Your Glory. In Jesus name amen.
O Lord, you have said that the final global power will tread down the world, and even tread down your saints. We know that you, Lord Jesus are the alone Sovereign over all nations. All authority in heaven and earth are yours. Please help us to be faithful witnesses (martyrs), loving our enemies and daily sharing your saving Gospel. Please free us from our idolatrous clinging to the things of this world. This is impossible for us, but entirely within your power. Please make us highly effective evangelists. Please shift our focus heavenward so that we will be good for this world. Please help us to suffer well, filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ. My comfort and happiness in this life is choking out my effectiveness. Please help as only you can (Psalm 2, Dan 7 and 12, Romans 8, Col. 1:24, Rev 1 and 13).
Heavenly Father, we pray that these leaks will not be used as an excuse to bring more totalitarian control over us. God please help us to be strong and courageous to stand firm in the truth when faced with persecution. Help us to be discerning. Thank you for your Word.
Yes Amy, this will support the narrative the our kind benevolent government needs to protect us by doing more censorship.
What was leaked? News that we are supporting a losing cause! That the costly ‘investment’ we are pouring money into is a bust.
Why does our Uniparty government support the narrative that Zelenski – who we installed in leadership- is a good dude? He isn’t. He is funneling money into his own accounts.
They merely made public what the real traitors have done. The information released has showed us the truth about many things the warmongers have lied about. Lord we pray that the full truth would continue to be exposed and that those responsible for the corruption, dollars wasted, and lives lost would be brought to account.
Airman Teixeira may find himself “Snowd-en”, a worthy aspiration.
It is blatantly obvious that the U.S. Govt has NOT been straight with the American people for many decades and needs to be gutted and redone according to 1776 Common law.
I earnestly pray the coming “shift” will assure the reformation and restitution of our original Constitution and obviate the foreign entity that now controls that 10 square miles of swamp land.
God willing.
Lord, expose all the lies surrounding this war. Expose the plans of our enemy, the devil, to take this world under his control. Root out all evil and those holding power in government, military, and the media. Bring back the sovereignty of nations and destroy this push to create a one world government. Bring peace to Ukraine and Russia. Move on Putin’s heart to exercise mercy and grace in the conclusion of this conflict. Bring the people together under the banner of Jesus Christ.
Lord, thank you for providing us with more information so that we may pray for those that either intend good or evil to ultimately act in Your name. May this information lead to a greater understanding of the world around us and may we wait for your guiding Hand to direct us in more precise prayers.
Father God, may ALL truth be exposed so that You may begin a refreshing renewal of our hearts. In JESUS’ name….amen.
