protocol for high-profile dissenters to leak without being deaded/murdered/killed/eliminated/shot/heart-attacked etc

[John Young]

Keep in mind any prominent leak site/dark net is thoroughly compromised,
wittingly or unwittingly upstream, downstream, inside, outside. Not a few
were, continue to be, established and run for that purpose, the rest evolved
by publicity and notoriety into perfect nodes for capturing leakers, 
discovering
networks (Tor a prime example), sending contaminated loads to recipients
eager to receive material for which sources can be denied, or simply disclosed
to officials through consultation, vetting, ass-covering after 
laundering through
amateurishly secure drop boxes

Reality Winner is merely one among many others gulled into believing
what should be by now unbelievable due to insertion of loggers along
transmission paths from suppressed leakers to highly advertised,
incessantly bragging, outlets who never admit to being de facto
honey pots.

Outlets all too readily check with officials authenticity of material 
to protect
themselves from being duped, burned, tricked by a range of parties out to
disrupt the ancient practice of deception by "unauthorized" disclosure.
Above all they aim to protect their financial stability, assured by government
regulation, from attack.

The bind leaks/secrets suffer from is converting from unknown by the
public to known by the public. Far too much leaked is tampered with
in the inevitably failure-proned process. Far too much leaked is based
on blind faith in the inevitable insecurity of transfer from source to
outlet.

WikiLeaks has become the global leader in deception about leaks
and the vulnerability leak sites and news outlets pose to leakers.
Privileges of journalists in avoiding culpabililty is the fly in the ointment.
As WikiLeaks reinvented itself as a journalistic operation to protect
itself, it adopted the practices of government-bestowed-and-protected
organizations, and in the process accepted self-serving corruption as
inherent, indeed, essential, to survival.

No need to have a formal relationship with authorities to betray and
harm leakers, merely operate a highly publicized, promoted, bragging
of security and transparency, albeit secret about itself, leak site,
a watering hole in the desert for thirsty prey to seek.

Not too soon to forego the nightmare of secure leak outlets.
