Awesome comment, fren. I did a similar self-check. Leslie could easily be a treble agent with O’Keefe his handler. Walker is tipped off (if Leslie is genuine) or read in (if Leslie is a snake) and able to slide narrative under the radar while creating a highly malleable release for O’Keefe to stage manage.
What could be more “undercover” than concocting the illusion of a double agent sting then using a treble agent putting out his own exposé where we are the unwitting victims behind the fourth wall? O’Keefe gets to be the good guy and use “illegal recording” lawfare and ‘protect the whistleblower’ ethics as alibis to hand wave away accusations of burying important evidence (vial contents, blood samples, ‘gaming the FDA’ admission etc). Pfizer get to divert scrutiny from their nefariousness, and amplify their new shiny thing, “disinformation criminals”, about which this film could be held up as exemplary in their eyes. And Leslie gets to build a new profile as the Truther’s Truther, with a walk-on part as official gatekeeper and disinfo agent.
I’d seen a version of the O’Keefe meets Walker scene before, now it looks like hammy overacting. And when Leslie says to O’Keefe about his Bohemian Grove admission, “it’s the most powerful secret society in the world”, this comes across as scripted, not to mention naive and easily demonstrably inaccurate. For a start, it’s a place. And there are plenty of other secret societies chock full of dipshits who could be considered biggest.
It’s easy to forget where a lot of these faces we have come to know and in some cases trust, actually used to work. Maybe we shouldn’t.
