If things were as he says, he would already be dead.
If they killed him right away it would make what he said believable. It took them six months to kill Walter Ratheneau for saying about the same thing in 1921. I am inclined to believe it and don’t trust Reddit. The mods over there kill stuff that is too damaging. So having them come out against it doesn’t mean too much. Give it time, part 2 is coming out soon.
