Jacob Appelbaum lives in germany because he worked with the german news
magazine "der Spiegel" about the Merkel's phone and he fears to flight back
to the US. He is one of few people who had direct access to the NSA files
leaked by Edward Snowden and reported many times about their contents (e.g.
on 30c3). Jacob Appelbaum is a great supporter for open source and strong
encryption. He also continually tries to get more money from third parties,
so that Tor does not depent on NSA's money anymore.
It's unbelievable you trust Infowars but not someone who did so much for the
free community and the free society. Maybe you work for the NSA to discredit
people like Jacob.
BTW: Edward Snowden used tails, which is a tor live CD, to hide for the NSA.
But maybe you don't trust Edward Snowden either. Even in one of the talks of
the leaked NSA files it says that "tor stinks" and that they probably will
never be capable of anonymise all Tor users.
