Consider it an exercise in flexing your discernment muscles, so to speak.

If I had to guess I'd say some of these people have had roles to play for the WH team, perhaps put in place to misdirect the enemy. I've never been a big fan of the podcast folks, find them slow-moving and mostly just regurgitating info that people here have already considered and discussed, never felt they added too much to the real knowledge base. JOS is almost certainly an actor in this movie, a shadowy figure who claims to be an insider and shares allusions to goings-on behind the scenes. They don't bother me, per se, but I approach them like any other information source - sift through a lot of fluff, misdirection, misinformation based on false premises, bias, opinions and whatnot to pull out a couple-few nuggets of actual information or some novel concepts that may be worth further thought and consideration.

We're all tired of the games, juvenile in spirit if not downright deceptive, but there's probably very little that's straightforward and easy about dismantling a centuries-old cabal of evil puppet masters and their minions while trying to maintain an environment of "normalcy" so we don't devolve into utter chaos and wanton violence. Fog of war.

Should these individuals be "punished"? Maybe. Maybe not. But you're not an idiot for following or having followed any of them. We're all looking for answers, for rays of hope, so to whatever extent these podcast folks have provided that - while the serious work of swamp dredging is being done behind the scenes by the WH leading these efforts - it isn't necessarily a bad thing. That's just MHO on this. If you lose faith in any or all of them, by all means drop them and spend your valuable time in other efforts.
