Well they showed what they claimed was a picture of him, but how do we know:

  • it was actually from yesterday
  • it wasn't photoshopped or AI generated
  • it was actually of him rather than a body double?

This is why we need him to be live in front of thousands of people multiple times per day for several hours at a time - that's the only way we can ensure he's actually still alive!

In my experience they wouldn't fake it. I think that is just wishful thinking. With the queen and the pope it was the beginning of the end. But not the end.

Look all we need is a 24/7 live feed of him lit by blindingly bright lights that starts with him out in public where people can see it's really him.

We need the in person witnesses as well. They can implement a jury duty like system to randomly select people to bring in and watch to see if it's really him.
