You're right, it's no good to canonize someone, especially an anonymous someone from a chan. It is undeniable that the side-by-side wide breadth of issues he responded to, however, and their corresponding prescience has been convincing enough to keep his name around. It's also no good to dismiss entirely.

But "assassinating major figures is very difficult and dangerous" most likely -- if we are to take FBIAnon seriously as an insider and understand the context of the quote among all seven AMAs -- he is most likely not referring to available assassination technology, but the ramifications of taking down so public and divisive a figure after so contentious an election. I think the difficulty and danger he was referring to here is social, civil, and/or political, and my other quote was to highlight that a bit. There are more supporting quotes regarding the elite and their control over a roiling populace, though they are not as directly related.
