I was immensely impressed by the Hidden Hand discourse when I first read it and, over a year later, the information still resonates strongly with me. I have noticed that a lot of the people who consider it disinformation generally tend to dwell on the unimportant aspects of the dialogue (for instance, his predictions) and ignore the essential aspects (his explanations on how to become more Service to Others, which are faultless). A sincere and undoubted compassion radiates from his final posts.
If anyone is interested in exploring the Hidden Hand discourse further, I actually wrote a commentary on it for my website.

Regarding the 'other' insider, I would estimate that his information is maybe 35-40% accurate at best. His notion that we are living in a prison is flawed, and not a healthy outlook for developing souls to adopt.
The term 'prison' is redundant in a free will universe.
