When dealing with people that say they talk to higher ups in military or administration, and that these people are giving them intel to “share”.
Odds are that neither are true.
Ask the five Whys.
Why would they need a third party?
Why would they break OPSEC?
Why have they been more wrong than right?
Why is this person trustworthy if they are leaking?
Why are they hawking supplements and other dubious wares?
The main stream has conditioned to believe that the little guy who is trying to make a little money is a bad guy. Of course, if its Apply or Nike making money off of child slave labour, thats perfectly fine.
