Nothing is 100% credible. Everyone knows that. Not discounting your post, just stating obvious fact. Why spread such things around? Unless you have proof of one hundred percent reliability?

You a nonbeliever?

Nonbeliever in what? Read what I wrote it's quite simple. Nothing is one hundred percent reliable. That is a fact of life. I also said I'm not discounting the post. To say that an online source, started by people we have never met is one hundred percent reliable is false. I didn't make the statement. The burden of proof to show one hundred percent reliability isn't on me. Of course WikiLeaks and many other sources of information have given us a lot. But they are not one hundred percent reliable.

So, am I a nonbeliever of what?

I'm glad to see reasonable debate still goes on. @evilyehttheylive is right in that no "intelligence", evidence, or information is every 100%. It may be 99.5%, but there is always the "freak factor". The one random thing no one considered.

Using your choice of analytic methods, they will all come back saying the likelihood of disinformation is high (90%), but it's penetration low, (<10%).

It's too easy to shoot holes in stuff. We can disprove just about anything if it's a fraud, disinfo, misinfo, etc.

What's harder to weight is the reliability of the source. While I could never say Wikileaks is 100% accurate, because we do not know what may be disproved at some point, I would state that in their history they've never been proven wrong.

And when you have a 100% source, you "trust but verify" to quote Reagan.

What I do see here are a lot of the trustworthy old timers (like me), which is great to see. The Q noise has risen above PG topics, though there is no shortage of new information to sift through. And it is all related. Pizzagate is coming back up in discussion and "news".

Like the Wired article I posted about. They keep bringing it up. Why?
