I have a job, I don't find it fun to argue politics 24-7. I read a variety of news. I knew the ugly/beautiful history of U.S. intelligence organizations. I do not trust anything released by Wikileaks to be un-modified. I don't currently have a security clearance, that much is for sure. However I am participating in a DoD sponsored cybersecurity program so everything I've been learning only reaffirms the research I did last year. Is it perfect? Of course not. If you don't leave room for skepticism you're doing it wrong.
