I think 75% of what Simon Parkes says, which I think he fully believes as it comes from credible sources, is intentionally false intel that comes up short of true. He was chosen as a marker for when the bad guys finally start shutting down the super-deep conspiracy nuts.
If for a decade you see a guy go on about aliens on the street corner, not harming anyone, suddenly get thrown into the back of an unmarked van by some Agent Smith looking mofos, then it tells you that at least some of what he said is true and that they are desperate enough to risk the poor optics just to take him out.
