Also, I’m pretty convinced by the change in style/tone over the course of the series that it’s a complete fabrication.

Yeah, it's gotten more dramatic as the series has progressed. The author is probably playing to his audience.

And someone in an earlier reply noted that the "insider" is spending more and more time praising the "author". This latest installment takes it to a whole new level.

The last few sentences caught my interest, though. I'm wondering if the author will just recycle something from the blogosphere (and there is a lot of material), or if he will come up with something new and/or original.

But I can't help laughing about one thing: if he has succeeded in hitting the mark with some of his "information", the White House must be flying into a panic.

Tom Clancy wrote "Hunt for Red October" using publicly available material and a good imagination. He apparently got a little to close to the mark, because reportedly he set off an investigation in the US Navy to find the "leak". Clancy also stated that if anyone had ever actually offered him classified information, he would have called the FBI.

If one goes back and reads each of these in succession and picks out each of the "predictions" from this supposed insider...not a single one has come to pass. Not a single one.

Kind of dampens the credibility of the whole thing.....just sayin'.

But jolly fun reading, what!

Yes. It reads like a fortune-teller's routine. Always vague, never specific and just hinting at what the listener wants to hear so they'll keep coming back for more.
