He is. But, it doesn't change the fact that Shipp's a fucking Clown. Once a Clown, Always a fucking Clown. Shipp claims to be a "reformed spook." They're literally serial liars, thieves, rapists, pedos, and serial killers. They can't be reformed. Period. Science and history has proven it.  No one should trust ANY of these "former spooks." No matter the agency they come from. Bill Binney is a former NSA spook. Some of his stuff is grade "A," but some of it is bullshite. There's others from all the other agencies, military and "suits" and from what I can tell, some are full of shit and definitely still paid Clowns, and others, like Shipp, Binney, Posobiec, etc have about a 50/50 ratio, maybe 60/40 ratio. If the info checks out, great. But there's a lot of shit out there from these guys that doesn't. And since ALL of them are admittedly "former" paid misinfo/disinfo shills, still have questionable sources, and are now being pushed by other more questionable people, you can't trust one word of what they say. You have to always dig deep with these asshats.  Well, I say, fuck that, fuck them, and fuck Shipp and all his Clown butt buddies, too.
