Earlier last month we looked into the ongoing theory that Julian Assange had died and at the time, it did all sound very suspicious.

However, it appears that WikiLeaks have had enough of the claims, as they sent out a tweet just 12 hours ago claiming that Julian Assange will prove he is alive by taking part in a Reddit AMA this Thursday at 9am.

This is pretty big news and I’m sure we all have many burning questions to ask the key WikiLeaks publisher. I know we’ll be waiting with some queries on Thursday morning. Of course, conspiracy theorists are immediately going to jump on this as being staged, due to the faceless interaction that is involved with an AskMeAnything thread. But Assange is clearly determined to face this theory head on, as he’s also taking part in a sit down interview with none other than Sean Hannity from Fox News.
The interview is allegedly going to air today on Fox News Channel and will discuss Russian hacking, the 2016 presidential election and both the Obama and upcoming Trump administrations. As you know, Assange is currently under political asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London where he sought refuge from a Swedish investigation over rape allegations. This interview will mark his first face-to-face cable news appearance, so be sure to tune in or at least catch the rerun. Once it’s out, I guess it will put the theories of his death to bed.
And that’s not all from WikiLeaks. They also sent out the following tweet today:

Looks like 2017 is going to be filled with even more controversy. Why are we not surprised?
