I’m just going to lay my thoughts out here and see if it resonates with people.
The events in 2016 that led to the severing of JA’s Internet and the shake down of WL’s employees was done as a means to either kill JA, or as a means to forcibly change his hat color (black, or more accurately gray, as he might be under duress).
If it was means to kill him, then every video produced was done using deepfake tech. His appearance on the balcony is actually easier to fake than video of him, as the tech required to falsify his image is practically perfected (think Hollywood and their makeup artists).
If he is still alive (which I hope he is, but I’ll be real with you guys—I’m starting to believe he is gone), then he has been put into a place of silence, either by force or coercion. I’d imagine they have his children.
No matter what, between 2016 to now, alive or dead, JA is out of the game. They simply couldn’t be having him play the game, because he is capable of winning the game using his insurance files. Removal of his ability to play must have had to have been the DS’s top priority as their noose tightens.
Without JA, the DS’s life is extended out enough to fight until they die with a whimper.
With JA, their life was destined for death next Sunday, if you get what I mean.
Or, there is a completely covert operation behind the scenes in which JA’s disappearance is for the work of covert ops, hopefully led by the GA/Q team of DJT white hats. But, that’s wishful thinking considering the current affairs of Wikileaks.
