Having been a member in this sort of community for so long I certainly have a hard time trusting anything this person says.
He seems to be pretty good at articulating himself, but I do not trust anything I see online or in the world around me 100%.
Take what you want from it, and make your own decisions.
It freaks me out that almost nothing he says contradicts my feelings about things, and so it almost feels wrong. I don't want someone supposedly 'In the know' to just validate everything I've already learned from being on this forum and watching shit tons of documentaries and spending thousands of hours reading. At least say something new that you didn't come to believe from being an avid reader, but by being in the CIA.
Fuck.
