The most effective disinformation tells a basically true overall narrative, but mixes in fake evidence and nonsense to poison it.
Ted Gunderson was a COINTELPRO disinformant. COINTELPRO is an FBI program aimed at disrupting dissidents. His goal was actually to discredit claims of elite pedophile rings (and claims about 9/11) by introducing fake evidence, "poisoning the well," giving talks to groups of conspiracy researches to get them to adopt bad evidence and false "tinfoil hat" versions of their theories (e.g. "no plane at the Pentagon"), in order to discredit the true general claims (e.g. 9/11 = inside job) with the general public. He promoted the "Pentagon missile" disinfo, and he promoted the McMartin Preschool case as an example of an elite pedophile ring. The McMartin case is a well-known case of false allegations. The mother who made the initial allegations was crazy. She based it on her son having disrupted bowel movements. The jury exonerated the accused because video showed the interviewers basically coercing the toddlers into saying they were abused, using leading questions that violated California guidelines at the time. One of the kids sent an apology to the LA times as an adult. That case was the real case of false memories that spawned the whole concept.
Gunderson has been a promoter of just about every bogus theory one can come up with: Area 51, reptilians, FEMA internment camps, a United Nations army taking over the United States, chemtrails, "pineapple bombs" at Oklahoma, no-planes on 9/11...
If you call Chemtrails and the Illuminati 'bogus stories', you probably won't like Ted Gunderson's report and that's fine. But to call him a disinformation agent, imho, is a stretch. So far, everything that's included in his report has been verified, and in part, already published. I didn't find anything new, except maybe for info on Michael Aquino, which is very interesting.
Chemtrails are definitely a bogus claim, designed to make "conspiracy theorists" look crazy. As for "Illuminati," I'm not sure. I have removed that bit from my original comment.

Flairing as possible disinformation.
