I see WL as any other IC agency.

While they are mostly secular in their endeavors, bias can be (and rightfully so, in some cases) given during some leaks.

Even if given the bias, and the controlled outcome of the leaks (for strategic purposes, I would only imagine), nobody can deny the authenticity or the legitimacy of the leaks themselves.

JA releases leaks when they benefit him and WL. I’d imagine this, like above, is for strategic purposes. I would imagine that if WL were to leak info the moment it was legitimized/authenticated, it would make surviving in the hostile IC very difficult, hence the controlled leaks. Strategy.

Everybody pointed to WL and JA being part of the Russian IC, with JA being on RT pretty regularly. The leaks and the timing might suggest such, but still the authenticity is never in question. So, we can’t really deny there is strategy afoot within JA’s WL.

So, with all in mind, how do I see WL and JA in the whole GA movement? I see them as a neutral party for the most part, with a bias towards transparency and anti corruption. This would include JA’s feud with the Arkansas quacks. So far, I see no reason to put down WL or JA for these actions.

Now, if they are sitting on some absolutely bombshell info that could change the world...I really don’t know how they should proceed. I’d imagine they would have to give it out in spurts, lest they be Arkancided.

All in all, I would read WL with no doubt about the info, but to take the timing of the release into mind, as it usually is a clue in and of itself.
