If you cant trust it, just compile the binary file yourself from the source.
Why does it matter if bitcoin.org uses privacy for the domains? The source is out and the application doesn't need bitcoin.org to run.
You got the source, cant you just change the port?
If there would be a problem with ISPs blocking 8333, I dont think it would require much work before it used port 80 or some other port that they cant block.
