It's absolutely true that David is by no means 100% and solely dedicated to the LOO. In fact most of his effort is only tangentially related.
He was a "UFOlogist" before reading the LOO, and once he read it he considered it to be the best source he had ever heard that confirmed all the things he had independently discovered to be true.
So I mean what is the criteria to be an authority? David, first and foremost, was a UFOlogist, then a psychic giving psychic readings, which led to him supporting the idea of ascension and being a megaphone for the harvest, and then a "consciousness science" guy spreading the teachings of Russian torsions fields and sacred geometry.
What attaches him to the LOO is not that he is a "LOO proponent" so to speak but rather that he bases his own life and philosophy on the LOO and considers the LOO to verify the stuff he independently believes.
So I mean again, just what is necessary for someone to be considered an authority? When it comes to the question, "What does the LOO say?" I would say that David is an authority just because he has read it in depth and lived it for so many years. In his private life he talks about transient information but this is not forbidden by the LOO, it is just said that transient information must be dealt with delicately. Specifically though Ra was saying you shouldn't ask a channelled entity for transient information, but David isn't doing that since his information on transient information does not come from channeled sources but from Earth evidence and documents and people and events.
It is transient to make any kind of mundane living on Earth, not just David's work in alternative politics. For instance if you are a baker it would be equally transient to become well-versed in the best techniques of bread baking, and Ra would discourage asking a channeled entitiy for advice on bread-baking. This is just as transient as politics.
Most humans do not have the luxury of speaking about non-transient issues for their livelihood. 99.9% of us have transient jobs. For instance Jim and Carla are mainly supported by Jim's gardening job - which is transient. Jim isn't going to ask Q'uo for advice on growing plants just like David does not ask channeled entities for advice on exposing the shadow government or sharing the new science of consciousness with the world.
David meditates and uses his dreams to receive input from higher sources like we all do in all parts of our life, but he isn't channeling Ra and asking "How best can I grow tomatoes" or "Where should I look to find documents exposing the crimes of the Bush administration."
So anyway again, what makes an authority? When it comes to the LOO anyone who has been studying and living it, and making it their "primary document" for over a decade would, IMO, be an authority on it.
Does it really matter as long as the message gets out of spirituallity. This world lacks it and TV is a tool used to brain wash the public. So why not use these tools for good causes in his way. This is an issue of who has the biggest EGO I think.
