It scares me that people actually don't give a damn about motivations. Iirc the times where we just went with the flow backing people claiming to wield the truth for genuine change, dictators were merely replaced by dictators.
Just look at Obama (oh yes I went there).

Well we KNOW he didn't sell the truth to the highest bidder. He gave it to the New York Times for free.
So what ARE you worried about?
Why are you using an example that isn't relevant to this case? I mean, you can accuse him of secretly being a Martian trying to initiate invasion by causing political discourse, but that would be as realistic as your claim that he could sell secrets for money.
