Science Fiction or NOT?

[Ninurta]

I'm surprised in the circumstances and information as outlined that this person hasn't met with an untimely demise/accident. Or, am I wrong.

Information as such that is perceived as a threat to National interest and secrecy generally ends up in something misfortunate.

Kind regards,

He's too high profile, too much in the public eye. In such cases, "disappearances" and "unfortunate accidents" are problematic avenues of approach. They raise too many questions, create too many suspicions. Generally, in cases like that, instead of that sort of permanent solution, the subject is discredited and made to appear bonkers instead.

There are more than one way to silence a message that isn't for public consumption.

With that said, another possible explanation is that he didn't see anything at all, and is just making it all up, in which case there is no need to discredit or silence him - he'll do that to himself, eventually, and until then no actual national security secrets would have been released.

Occam's Razor.

It's not in the news over here now.  I do remember something a little while back where the states were seeking his extradition for leaking secrets.

Your last paragraph is well written, intriguing and kind of answers a lot for me.

Cheers,

It's not at the top of the news cycle at the moment, but if he were to, let's say "explode" while walking down the street to the convenience store to get a pack of smokes, or suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head, it would be back at the top of the news cycle just like that, and with more questions and suppositions (even more, due to his sudden and unexpected demise) than the government would like to answer if he is really on to something... so they have a vested interest in keeping him from being spread all over the roadway. They feel more secure when it's all at the bottom of the news cycle, or even off the edge of it, and that fact will assist them in deciding not to make a big story out of it again by cancelling his birth certificate.
