There's no question that someone with at least one admin account posted deleted material to Wikitruth. How else do you imagine it got there?
To embellish it with ad hominem references to unrelated topics such as WR and WikiTruth takes it into tinfoil hats territory.
You might want to take into account that there are issues you're not aware of. And the "tinfoil hats" insult is unhelpful.
There's probably no way to prevent someone from getting admin status and using it indefinitely for purposes that CANNOT be visibly connected to their user name (such as looking up deleted pages).
As I said earlier, your argument is like that of an airline that withdraws all security measures because 100 percent security is impossible.
We can't prevent it, but we can make it harder.
