Really?
You missed the /s At the end. So far the guy hasn't come out (to the window like other times before), there is no physical of his state after this event. Not even his team has come out saying HE IS OK, JULIAN IS ALIVE AND WELL. Media blackout on his status. etc etc. How do w/o going physically to the embassy know he is alive? Its totally ok to not trust these files given the know extend of CIA powers
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Granted, YET the wiki-leaks team can come up with a rather creative way to prove that he is alive (if his internet connection its still severed). And this kind of attitude doesnt add well, to be cautious with this kind of file is not necessarily being paranoid in any sense, people are well aware of the capabilities of the government and what in can do w/o regret or fear of being brought to justice (since they represent the justice).
As for J.A. being alive or dead, given the zeitgeist and the current state of world political situation. Its safer to assume he is dead or kidnapped or likely hiding.

The sheer amount of shills in this thread is also evidence for it.
We don't deal in proofs or absolute truths. We deal in evidence and likelihoods.

No its definitely not. Because people call bullshit on this rumor is not evidence.
Let me help you: evidence noun 1. the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.
Show me some of this and I will agree Assange is captive in Guantanamo or whatever other dumb rumor exists.

Yeah, um, that link is super convincing.
Guy had the internet cutoff. That's almost certainly all that happened.

You cannot prove a negative.
