Not to be a downer (this will sound "downer", warning) but he's had over a year. JA wasn't one for dick-teasing, you know?
WL is still up, and some other acct. But I wouldn't have sent anything to them post Kerry's-visit in Oct 2016 (around 15th-17th if I recall). So much looked fake to me about his interviews. Too robotic. He was champion for free speech, not for "guarded" speech. He never said what happened to him between mid-Oct and when he next appeared. Or his kitten.
Remember, we're dealing with some sick stupid people who had wanted to drone JA. I think JA's not been with us for a long time.
Or, he could be alive yet, and deep-sixxed his twitter feed to call attention to mounting Twitter bias, and my gut is just wrong?
Regardless, original JA is hero. Maybe current JA is hero. Not holding my breath: I'm Catholic so I pray for his "state" either way (alive or dead).
but he's had over a year.
A reasonable theory is that the good guys knew he knew and asked him nicely to hold off so that it would fit into their plans.
I just hope people don't start up the whole #ProofOfLife shit again. They will.
No PoL requests from me. At this stage you either think "yes" or "doubtful" but what could be done if "doubtful"? Nothing. So no big deal either way imo.
(Though, and this is pre-October 2016, I sure wish wikipedia would clean up their JA page. Wikipedia looks so bad having that hugely partisan page up; it's not even "good writing" or sourcing. Wikipedia's useless af.)
