Well, if that is indeed so, then he's most likely is telling the truth... otherwise....
He does not want to die, but it’s credible that he has put his life in danger, because even if most “conservatives” blow this off and label him as a nut (again refer to track record) the conservatives aren’t the same kind of homicidal scum as the leftists. The leftists are much more gullible and more likely to take Wood seriously. Thus some evidence that he is at least sincere, because he’s putting his life at risk from leftists, who are more likely to take him seriously than conservatives are.
