REVEALED: How Jeffrey Goldberg Got In
the Signal Group Chat

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 4/6/2025 1:32:40 PM

It’s been a couple of weeks since the infamous “Signalgate” controversy erupted. Just as most Americans had moved on from this non-scandal, we have finally learned how Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, got into the encrypted group chat on Signal in the first place. For sure, this story was overblown from the get-go. Goldberg clearly oversold the chat as containing classified war plans, though a review of the chat, which Goldberg eventually published, proved the chat to be a real nothingburger. That said, the mainstream media quickly pounced on the story, and Democrats used the incident as a pretext

Comments:

And now everyone in the administration is cleaning out their contact files to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Some important context is appropriate here. From Wikipedia - " In a 2013 interview with the Washingtonian, he said he had decided to give up his Israeli citizenship, saying that "If Israel goes much further down the road I think it’s on and becomes more of a theocratic, totalitarian-style state [...] how could the liberal-minded American Jew support that?"" That pretty well sums up Goldberg's lefty political leanings as an Americanized Jewish individual. I hope at least that he believes the Holocaust really did happen.

OK, that's how his name got on the chat list. But here's the problem. No people at this level should be dependant on automated technology, especially for chat meetings involving secure communications. There SHOULD BE human gatekeepers to meetings that review all people on the list and determine WHO they are and whether they really should be at the meeting. This shouldn't be that hard. I would think that someone reviewing such a list would KNOW all the people on the list and have reasonable confidence, based on their roles, that they belong in the meeting. Along comes Jeffrey Goldberg, who they probably would NOT know. They should ask, WHO IS THIS GUY and WHY IS HE INVITED? or WHY IS THIS REPORTED INVITED TO THIS SECURE MEETING? This is NOT a firing offence but it IS a learning experience and there should be discussions and safeguards put in place. NOT learning from this WOULD be a firing offence.

Re #4, as I understood it, the damned Apple phone decided that Goldberg's number was an alternate number for someone who SHOULD be on the list, and associated this WRONG number with a RIGHT person. So, the failure is 100% on the damned phone "automation", like the horrors of automated phone text "help".

Re #7, apparently this one is considered secure, but if you link it to the wrong people.....that is not a problem with the security of the app. Of course, IMO, there is absolutely NOTHING that can be on a phone that is actually secure. The CIA says otherwise and puts this on the phones of their people as "secure". I remain skeptical that anything on any phone is ever secure.

My biggest problem with Goldberg is...if he really was soooo concerned about the information falling into the wrong hands...like our enemies...then why didn't he just erase and shut his trap....to protect America's secrets....because my dear friends it was all a set up as Greg Kelly on Newsmax said....the President Trump staff was told by the biden White House to use the signal account because it was secure....and you see where that got US....trust no one....remember comey.....

FTA: "Waltz did not ultimately call Goldberg, the people said, but in an extraordinary twist, inadvertently ended up saving Goldberg’s number in his iPhone – under the contact card for Hughes, now the spokesperson for the national security council." More human error than rogue technology.

It does not matter if the IPhone added Goldberg to Waltz's or not. Shouldn't Waltz have know, or at least paid attention to who who he was adding to his group chat? When you are discussing national security matters, one would expect that the sender of a message knows who it is going to. Didn't he check the list of Chat members before hitting SEND?

Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) claimed on Saturday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials would use “manufactured” footage to make it appear as though law enforcement agents were body slammed during the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at the Delaney Hall Detention Center last week. Watson Coleman said, “We were there for a tour. ICE was giving us the runaround. We finally got into a facility. We heard some noise. We came out, we found that the mayor was there and they were an ICE was having conversations with him. They asked him to leave the facility. He left the facility.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers teamed up with other federal agencies to arrest an alleged hitman wanted in Venezuela for at least four contract killings. Officers and agents took the Biden-era Venezuelan illegal alien into custody in Grapevine, Texas, on May 2, according to a statement by the agency. “This fugitive stands accused of some horrific crimes, further representing a threat in the communities of Texas that we will not tolerate,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Dallas acting Field Office Director Josh Johnson. “ICE Dallas will never relent in our priority of enhancing public safety and arresting and removing criminal alien threats from our streets."

In this episode of Al Sharpton: Race-Hustler Extraordinaire"... First, the facts: In January 2025, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed South Africa’s Expropriation Act 13 of 2024. It allows expropriation (seizure) of land without compensation. The law mandates “just and equitable” compensation in most cases, with judicial oversight for disputes. Ahh, "equitable." As we've learned all too well, for the Democrat Party, "equity" — along with "inclusion" — doesn't mean to the left what it means to the rest of us, or what it means in the dictionary. In the wake of South Africa's Expropriation Act, the Trump administration announced plans to bring more than 50 white Afrikaners to the United States, starting on Monday,

Senator John Kennedy and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem teamed up to expose Biden-era immigration policy. Former President Joe Biden’s lack of any real border authority resulted in massive numbers of illegal aliens and asylum seekers gaining access to the United States. Millions of Americans voted for stricter enforcement in 2024, but many are still wondering why the former president would allow a flood of humanity to come into the country. Kennedy and Noem dug deep into the issue, and the conclusion they came to should frighten all Americans:

One of the craziest stories of the year broke on Friday after a contingent of Democrat politicians stormed an ICE facility in New Jersey, supposedly in protest of President Donald Trump's immigration policies. But while they claimed to have done nothing wrong, the more evidence emerged, the more obvious it became that they were lying through their teeth. As RedState reported, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was arrested on site, tried to play the victim on CNN. Video then emerged showing that he breached a checkpoint and refused to leave after multiple requests. The behavior of three Democrat congressional members was arguably even worse.

The Catholic Church has issued a warning to its clergy in Washington state: Any priest who complies with a new law requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities will be excommunicated. The new law, which will take effect on July 27, eliminates the long-standing confidentiality of the confessional, forcing Catholic leaders and lawmakers into a highly charged standoff over religious liberty and child protection. However, the Archdiocese of Seattle and several bishops argue that the law not only contravenes church doctrine but crosses constitutional lines, while supporters maintain it is a crucial step to protect minors from abuse.

Less than 48 hours after rolling out a fact-checking website designed to target "right-wing misinformation," California Governor Gavin Newsom was caught using stock footage from Ukraine and Estonia in an ad promoting his state's economy. The ad, released initially on X and set to run on “Fox and Friends” this weekend, criticizes President Donald Trump’s tariffs while touting California's supposed economic strength. An overly excited Newsom, however, shared it with his followers on X first.
