Bear in mind that leaker's information ages into less significance, 
other than historical, as sources respond to the leaks with 
replacements and innovations.

Leaks are left unchallenged, even promoted and initiated, by sources 
to serve as alluring camouflage for current operations.

Some wizards claim leaks and leakers were invented and sustained for 
this purpose. Prosecutons and demonization and publicity and 
legislation are tools of the deceptive ops.

FOIA a particularly manipulative technique, redactions and 
classification markings applied for verisimilitude. So too the tiny 
yellow dots and other traces.

Others: Encryption and anonymizers, drop boxes, whispers to journos, 
aggrieved insiders and loose-lipped contractors, inspector generals, 
congressional briefings, sex entrapments, privacy protection NGOs, 
hired and coerced bots, trolls and hackers, iimplants in hardware and 
software, compromised communcations and internet workers and admins, 
lawyers, priests, psychiatrists and other supposedly confidential advisers.

Roll your own narcotic of outsmarting the mofos, peddle the product 
of secrecy and oppression.
