My God...he's dead. Does any right thinking person believe he's alive?
Yes. Our government believes he's still alive. I'll go with that. I doubt you have any information they don't.
Just because he hasn't been filmed or someone reads statements on his behalf doesn't mean he is dead. Thanks to the MSM, he knows we have listened to his cell calls, and tracked him, and to his aides and tracked them. So he went low-tech: notes sent by donkey. he may not really be in a "cave", but living in a house somewhere.
