He’s been in benzo detox in Russia for the past six months or so, and I guess it’s been really rough on him. Don’t ever get hooked on benzos, it’s bad news. You can die if weaned off them too quickly. It was a prescription for clinical depression/anxiety that went bad.

Benzo withdrawl is extremley painful and dangerous, especially Xanax.

Why did he go to a rehab in Russia?

My mom has a problem with benzos, sleeping pills, and pain meds. We tried to take her meds away years ago to get her healthy and she wound up in the hospital. Those things are sinister.

He tried getting treatment I believe in uk and us. He apparently settled for the russian clinic because the doctor there is supposed to be one of the foremost in treating benzo withdrawal.

Dunno how true it is but sounded plausible to me.

It’s better than it was, but it’s still not a place I’d ever visit. I’m not about to be arrested for speaking my mind.

However, I can appreciate things about their people. They have the best and most committed flight sim programmers in the world between the games IL-2 and DCS. That’s some serious PhD talent making these flight models.

And if I had to choose an ally of Russia or China, I’d choose Russia.

Thanks for posting, but that is from Sept, 2019. Does anyone have any updates on his condition? Jordan was an amazing voice of reason in a world of insanity.

I thought I read or heard from a source I trusted that he had some brain damage potentially. I really hope I’m wrong.

I think he is working on his second book and restoring his health slowly.
