Assuming this guy really had "insiders" give him this information, it usually goes like this:
"Insiders" (also know as the agents) show and/or give information to their target that make him completely convinced it is true, real, will happen etc. The target is so convinced that he has reliable information that he will spread that information. Once that is accomplished most of the work is done, and then depends on the intended goal.
There could be many goals behind a disinformation operation, but mostly it's about confusing people, discrediting people or smoking out someone.
I doubt in this particular case they're trying to smoke out someone, so it's most likely about discrediting this person, or muddying the waters, or both.
All of this, of course, assuming this person was really given information by "insiders" and isn't just making this up in order to get attention/sell whatever.
Good? yeah good, let's just enjoy the ride...
