Well I kind of see our role (activists/journalists) as making sense of the data that is both leaked and publicly available. Without diverting, 9/11 was moderately uncovered without hack/leaked information - and so many more false flags. But to make the extra step towards justice and prosecution, the standard of evidence is much higher then speculative based information - We didn't need leaks to discern Larry Silversteins massive insurance payout from the fall of the twin towers (that he only insured against 'acts of terrorism' months prior to 9/11) - but if you want to prove how much Mossad was behind it, that will require leaks. All in all, needing leaked/hacked information to prove something really just depends on where crucial information is kept - secured or not.
Human error is what I count on - it's usually the catalyst that undoes criminals. There is a higher degree of arrogance that accompanies power, and it's there arrogance that underestimates the effectiveness of the collective public.
Regarding Voat - i think you can remake another account to sign in with if you feel inclined to do that, from what i recall it does not require/link email verification.
Yes- There have been numerous cases of citizen investigation in recent times that have been utterly inspiring. The policy enforcers are not on our side, and are paid by those that often need investigating, so it's great to see people standing up and doing their job for them. It's a shame that that needs to be the case though..
I agree about human error, though sometimes I have to stop and consider whether these fuckers are even human. I'm not saying that they are reptiles from another planet.. Lol. Just that they seem to be lacking humanity in any
capacity, based on the atrocities they help to perpetrate.
I have tried three times with three different browsers, each time to no avail. I am thinking that perhaps I have some type of browser extension that may be effecting the log in process with voat. I will disable them all and try once again.
