Luigi Mangione Manifesto Suggests There Were MORE Planned Killings

Did Luigi Mangione plan to kill more people?

And was he arrested before getting to complete those plans?

That’s what it looks like based on what is believed to be his manifesto released.  More on that in just a moment.

First was this strange moment where he suddenly stops and turns and shouts out to the crowd before heading into Court:

Enhanced audio here:

Then there was this VERY strange video that was posted to what is believed to be his YouTube channel yesterday, and seemingly posted via some sort of deadman’s switch:

And now the Manifesto.

According to reporter Ken Klippenstein who posted this on his Substack, this is believed to be the Manifesto and multiple reports claim it has been authenticated by law enforcement.

Here it is:

“To the Feds, I’ll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

I’ve bolded the part I found most interesting….

It seems as though this implies there were multiple victims, or at least that he expected there would have been multiple victims.

Was he arrested before he carried out his full plans?

If you’d like more, or if you enjoy video format better, I really thought this video was an excellent breakdown:

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

Oh hey, we’ve got to do an update on Luigi because, well, we just saw him walk into this courthouse where he’s got a hearing in Pennsylvania. He’ll likely get extradited over to New York to face murder charges. Obviously, he is the alleged shooter—seems like he probably is, but I’m not going to cast judgment. What we’re going to do instead is look into some of the latest that’s unfolded.

I’m going to go through what happened here at this scene. We’re going to go through some of the photos and confusion that we’re seeing around, “Wait, is it him?” because there are some differences that we need to touch on. Also have some suspicious things to talk about, like was Luigi placing things in certain areas, and were apparently Monopoly money or Monopoly dollars found in his backpack in Central Park?

A lot to talk about here along with some other developments. Let’s get started. We’ll start with this: this just happened moments ago—Luigi getting transferred from the sheriff in Pennsylvania and getting moved inside the courthouse. He ends up shouting that what’s happening is an insult to the American people. And if you don’t yet remember what we talked about yesterday—and I’ll show you this in a moment—but if you don’t remember what we talked about yesterday, I’ll give you a really, really quick high-level overview.

Basically, rich kid, grew up really wealthy—we’ll talk about that and the grandfather’s real estate empire in just a moment—went to an all-boys prep school, was valedictorian, went to an Ivy League. Like every checkbox you could think of, it seemed like things were pretty good for this dude, with the exception of severe back pain that even at one point left him debilitated for a week after just one surfing lesson. Pretty depressing, and probably helped, along with what happened to his mother, expand his hate and distrust for Corporate America, specifically the insurance sector.

Remember, the person that he allegedly killed was the CEO of United Healthcare, an insurance company. Now, we’ll go through some of these details in a moment, but another thing that we saw yesterday, which we’ll see some more details on today, is that Luigi had a real disgust for the potential destruction of American society.

Now, this sounds really high-level and sort of like, “Okay, here we go, here comes some speculative, kind of like bougie stuff—oh, the pool might collapse.” That’s not really what this is supposed to be. I’m trying to simplify this. The idea, and the reason I’m bringing it up, is just to sort of discuss, “Hey, what was this dude’s motive? What was this guy trying to send us a signal on?”

And yesterday, what we found is he was really concerned that the United States was trending towards the potential direction of collapse, much like the Roman Empire. That is, the Roman Empire had just been too wealthy and had gotten too comfortable with leisure to the point that leisure was just unbalanced and the main thing that people cared about in their lives. Some people went a whole lifetime without having to do anything hard, which essentially made for an entire sort of fat and useless society—is sort of the idea that he’s conveying. And he argues that this is really designed by elites to control the masses so that they—elites, Corporate America—can increase their profit and control.

That’s very interesting, but I think this is a good groundwork to get you started with some of the latest updates because they all really relate to what’s going on here. So listen to this. This is him as he goes into the courthouse here:

(He shouts) “Completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and the American experience! Completely unjust and an insult to the American people and the American experience!”

You can also clearly see, it’s worth noting, when he gets out of the car—I mean, obviously, there are windows in the car so he knows there are reporters there, right? But he gets out of the car and quickly confirms his orientation with where they are. Here you go. Because he’s probably, at this point, already thought about what he’s going to say. If you think about it, this is really his only opportunity to make a public statement outside of a courtroom. And this is where, when he makes this statement, you can see the officers very quickly get involved here and essentially shove him into the confinement of the courthouse.

But we know that this is not the only public statement that we expect him to continue to make because yesterday—well, I mean, not only did we… well, let’s just say there was a YouTube video that he posted yesterday. I’m going to tell you about exactly what happened here in just a moment. But when you start a murder with engravings on shell casings—deny, defer, and defend—clear attack against the insurance industry, it’s obvious that what he is doing is trying to light a fire of debate over elitism, corporate wealth, and corporate control over society. This is really what this is.

And to him, you know, even the New York Times on their front page right now—and trust me, I’m not the biggest fan of the New York Times. I actually had a reporter reach out to me yesterday, and I’m like, “Yeah, no, I’m not really…” The last time I talked to the New York Times was for a hit piece they were doing on me in 2021 in The New York Times Magazine. You know, a lot of my fans were like, “Kevin, this wasn’t nice what they wrote.” I’m like, “Hm, maybe I shouldn’t talk to them.” “Yeah, don’t talk to them, me anyway.” Like, “Okay.”

That was funny, though, because that was right before I ran for governor. I’m like, “Oh, that’s interesting timing.” But they’re reaching out again. But anyway, the cover of the New York Times right now argues that Luigi potentially saw himself as a hero for what he did and for igniting this tinderbox. We’ll see more of that in just a moment.

But let’s understand what happened here on YouTube. So yesterday, Luigi posted a video on pretty much a new channel. I mean, there was no other content on it. There could have been, maybe it was deleted or privated, but when you went to his channel, there was only one video. And the video was really a countdown clock. It was counting down to—I believe it was December 13th, if I remember correctly, which is Friday the 13th. It may have been the 11th, but if I remember correctly, it was the 13th. Either way, it was a countdown. And basically, it was a countdown to what he said was “the truth.”

And the implication is that he’s going to give us some form of maybe Netflix-style video series about why he did what he did. Maybe he pre-recorded, say, a dozen different videos and that he’s going to schedule those to be released over time, and that he was really expecting to get caught so that way he could start releasing these videos, which is really interesting because, you know, it’s certainly one way, I guess, to spread a message. Because if you don’t already have a following online, it’s very difficult to get one. And I suppose, in Luigi’s mind, going potentially to prison for life or, you know, 20, 30 years—whatever he ends up getting, if he is indeed found guilty—could be worth getting his message out, in his opinion.

Very interesting. But the downside for him is YouTube—this video was live probably about 70,000 views before it got taken down. I saw it within about the first 6,000 views. And YouTube removed it. If you go to the link of the YouTube video, it will now say, “This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with the video has been terminated.”

I have a little clip—well, I don’t really have a clip, but I have kind of the thumbnail of what it looked like because we were texting about it. And so you could see it was just called “The Truth,” and then it sort of had that tick-tocky clock which the video sort of plays. If I click on it now, “Video not available” is what we get, sort of the same message here.

Now, after this, I posted on X that, “Oh no, YouTube has terminated his account.” And after that, we actually saw Luigi’s account on X also get terminated, after which Elon Musk ends up jumping into this discussion. And he writes the following: “This happened without my knowledge. Looking into it.” And Luigi’s X account has now been unsuspended, probably following a statement or comment from Elon Musk.

Oh look, there’s Max in the Cybertruck, he loves it. But this is really interesting because if you go to this account—in my video yesterday, I was mentioning that we saw this account when it had 15,000-20,000 subscribers, and it was at about 100,000. He gained another about 200,000 subscribers on X since then. Actually, I think that’s about how many followers I have on X. It’s kind of interesting—not that it matters, but it is interesting. This is growing. A lot of people are looking at this and seeing, “Okay, are there going to be any other new posts?” We’re just sort of going through the breadcrumbs that he’s left, which we talked a lot about yesterday.

We saw this video. Some other things that are worth talking about here are—well, first of all, the Pokémon. This was interesting. In his profile banner, there is a picture of this spinal fusion right here, which is when you take sort of this misaligned portion of a spine, align it with a plate, and basically try to bring it together. Then of course we have his fitness photo, and then we have this Pokémon, which somebody broke down some of the details of. So I thought that was pretty useful. Thanks Louis. Anyway, this particular post: they say the Pokémon on his X profile heals poison as its ability. Never heard of someone having this specific Pokémon as a favorite. This is intentional.

[Speaker – Continued]
So this is the Bulba Garden—well, this is images on Bulba Garden archives. I don’t know if that’s what that Pokémon is called, but anyway, that’s interesting. If “Effect Spore” or “Poison Heal,” so a spore is fungal, but often fungal is associated with disease, and poison is obviously associated with something that does damage to you slowly over time.

ADVERTISEMENT

Based on what we heard yesterday, or the breadcrumbs we went through yesterday, this poison or fungus or disease might refer to either that corporate elitism we talked about earlier or just sort of the damage of social media on mental health for younger Americans, specifically younger men. So I found this very, very interesting.

And it was quite remarkable—I don’t really want to show it because I think it’s mostly ridiculous—but I saw this post right next to a post from somebody saying, “Hey, should I invest $8,000 into Bitcoin or a new BMW?” And they were asking the Tate brothers that, and the Tate brothers responded and said, “Well, you can’t get your you-know-what sucked in the back of a Bitcoin.” Oh boy.

All right, from a dad with seven kids and a finance dude, this is really sad because that is what a lot of social media promotes. And I think it’s really unfortunate because, obviously, the best ideal example here would be we use that to either invest in yourself and your education or invest in, you know, an investment—like something that’s not butter. We always like to say invest in “guns” and not “butter.” Guns are things like real estate, stocks, corporate ownership, or your own education to better yourself, or paying off debt, right? These are good things. They increase your foundations of success.

But that’s the kind of, in my opinion, sort of toxic stuff we see on social media regularly that just sort of messes people up and sends them into this loop of, “Okay, got it. So in order to be happy, I need a better car.” And yeah, then you end up with mental health problems because, wow, that new car effect fades away, and now you don’t have money anymore. Now the car is depreciating in value substantially. It’s just—it’s a disaster. You know, they say—what’s the joke about BMWs? They say something to the effect of you need to be wealthy to buy a new BMW, but you need to be mega-rich to buy a used BMW. I don’t know, something like that. Basically because used BMWs apparently cost a lot of money in repair. I’ve seen that before myself.

But anyway, okay, so that’s a little bit on the Pokémon there. Then we have a little bit else about a potential leaked email here that came out, where somebody shared this email. This was an email from Luigi while he was in Japan. He writes:

“I can’t wait. I’m in Japan for the start of May, so 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. here is 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. UK time. I’m free most days in that time range. Are you free the first week of May? Regarding the NPC behavior, Japan is peak NPC-ville. Scary lack of free will in this country.”

This is a big deal for him, by the way. Remember what we talked about with the Roman analogy—that everybody was sort of being placated at events and the circuses and the stories that he posted or posts that he reposted on X about other authors saying that men need struggle in their lives and they need to be able to conquer that struggle, that failure is not bad for a man, but rather lack of purpose is the greatest failure, right?

So this sort of relates back to that when you talk about people being an NPC, which is a non-player character. Depending on what games you played, you might have gotten used to NPCs and different phrases for them. I started in MMOs in RuneScape and then World of Warcraft. Just think of them as like the quest givers that stand there and are like, “May the winds be at your back. Glory to the Horde.” And then they go back to standing there. Or they kind of walk their pattern back and forth, and then they go back to standing. It’s like an insult to people, essentially, if you call somebody an NPC—that they’re so rigid, they’re basically operating on a script where they just sort of do the same thing over and over again. They have no free will; they don’t do anything because they’re programmed on a script.

[Speaker – Continued]
In other readings, Luigi actually at one point was considering developing video games, and I think that’s awesome. I’ve always wanted to design video games myself. I just wish there was a really good MMO alternative to World of Warcraft, as an example, but whatever—MMO hack.

But I find this very interesting because he says, “I’ll have to tell you a story from my morning today where I saw a dude having a seizure on the street and ran two blocks to the police station. They followed me to help, but refused to walk across any empty streets if the stoplight was red, even while the guy was seizing on the ground.” Okay, this is basically an argument that exigent circumstances call for breaking the rules.

This also relates to some of the commentary or breadcrumbs that Luigi has left regarding following rules and laws that exist in society, like “Thou shalt not kill.” He seems to believe that killing is justified because, quote, “They had it coming,” but also because he is conducting the lesser of two evils—that the healthcare industry, for example, potentially kills many more people than Luigi ever has or will—probably “will” is the appropriate word here. And therefore he is actually a hero bringing light to these problems as a way to potentially break a rule to save more lives. You know, obviously that could be very self-deluded. Nobody here should be encouraging murder, but that seems to be what the breadcrumbs are here.

So, interesting post. Okay, let’s keep going. This is just some of what you’re finding in terms of speculation that people have—that maybe he’s not the right person. And what you end up getting here is a post of a photo of him with his mask on and hoodie on, and here a differently lit photo suggesting he has a unibrow and maybe he doesn’t. I can’t really call this conclusive.

To me, lighting is very high contrast in this photo and much lower contrast here. So what that means is, in a high contrast photo, you’re really not going to be able to see a lot of definition. I mean, look at the outline of this jacket. In real life, a jacket doesn’t look this flat, but you could barely see the difference between the shadow under the chin of the jacket here and the actual jacket. It’s like almost a color gradient, right? Very, very, very little difference in the blacks over here. The same is going to be true over here, and that the skin underneath is just going to show up much more in a low-resolution photo than actual hair.

So again, there’s a lot of speculation around this, and we don’t certainly have all of the answers, but we’re trying to get as many answers as we can, such as the following here: Border Big Cat on X posted what appears to be a four-page post from Luigi. This post, which I think you could still find on the website, it was originally posted on “The Allopathic Complex and Its Consequences.” You could give that a Google, and you’ll find some postings of it.

The one I’ve been looking at is, I think, a reposting because this just keeps getting removed from different websites. But it’s seenthis.net where somebody reposted it. So we’ll just go through here because we’ll be able to highlight while we look at it.

[Speaker – Continued]
“The Second Amendment means I am my own chief executive and commander-in-chief of my own military.” Okay, I mean, there’s obviously some delusion here—calling himself his own military—but okay.

“I authorized my own act of self-defense in response to a hostile entity making war on me and my family.” Ah, interesting. Now we’re starting to get justification for his act. So he believes he is defending himself and his family from a war that is being fought against him and his family. As we go through this, you’ll see there are a lot of struggles that his mother had with healthcare regarding back pain and that he also has regarding back pain and healthcare. And so you’re finding that he is making this comparison to say he is just simply defending against the attack that has already been perpetrated upon him.

“Nelson Mandela says no form of violence can be excused. Khan says the same. Whether you live or die or have a cup of coffee, ML says violence never brings permanent peace. Gandhi says nonviolence is the mightiest power available to mankind. Those who tell you are heroes—that’s who our revolutionaries are. Yet is that not capitalistic? Nonviolence keeps the system working at full speed ahead.”

Okay, now this is where he’s basically making the argument that, hey, everybody tells you that violence isn’t the answer. But are we just being told that? You know, after all, isn’t that what a capitalist would want? “No, no, no, don’t hurt anybody, just keep paying.”

“Interesting. What did it get us? Look in the mirror. They want us to be nonviolent so they can grow fat off the blood they take from us.” This is a reference, obviously, like the sucking of a leech, almost—comparing companies to leeches.

“The only way out is through. This is through violence. Not all of us will make it. Each of us is our own chief executive. You have to decide what you will tolerate. Gladiator—In Gladiator 1, Maximus cuts into the military tattoo that identifies him as part of the Roman legion. His friend asks, ‘Is that the sign of your God?’ as Maximus carves deeper into his own flesh. As his own blood drips down his skin, Maximus smiles and nods, ‘Yes.’”

In other words, the sign of your God, the tattoo of his leader—basically that tattoo represents the emperor, the leader of the army, who is the god. The god emperor has made himself part of Maximus’s own flesh. The only way to destroy the emperor is to destroy himself. Okay, this is basically a way of saying when the corporation becomes such a leech, it basically becomes this organism that can only exist with you, but it takes energy from you to thrive, and it hurts you to thrive. Basically, the way you kill it is by killing yourself, which is kind of crazy. But it’s an analogy almost to a parasite. That’s what he’s really doing: he’s making this comparison—maybe not virus or corporations as a virus, but rather corporations as a parasite. They take over their host until they’ve completely drained the host and killed them.

“Maximus smiles through the pain because he knows it is worth it.”

All right, this is basically saying the pain of him going to jail or prison is worth the destruction that he’s causing. He’s trying to kill the parasite, which again is sort of like chopping the head off the Leviathan, right—the CEO of United Healthcare. Although, as we all know how corporations work, they’ll just replace the CEO, which they already have.

“These might be my last words.” Very self-conscious here. “I don’t know when they will come for me. I will resist them at any cost. That’s why I smile through the pain. They’ve diagnosed my mother with severe neuropathy when she was 41 years old. She said it started 10 years before that with burning sensations in her feet and occasional sharp, stabbing pains. At first the pain would only last a few moments, then fade to tingling, then numbness, then fade away to nothing a few days later.

The first time the pain came, she ignored it. Then it came a couple of times a year, and she ignored it. Then every couple months, then a few times a month, then a few times a week. At that point, the tingling faded to numbness, and the pain would start. The discomfort was constant at that point. Even going from the couch to the kitchen to make her own lunch became a major endeavor.

[Speaker – Continued]
It started with Advil, ibuprofen, until the stomach aches and acid reflux made her switch to acetaminophen (Tylenol). Then the headaches and barely sleeping made her switch back to Advil. The first doctor said it was psychosomatic—this is a way of saying it’s all in your head, nothing was wrong—she needed to relax, de-stress, and sleep more. The second doctor said it was a compressed nerve in her spine, which would cost $180,000 to recover from. The third doctor performed a nerve conduction study and some other tests, and each test cost money, and deductibles, until she hit her deductible on her United Healthcare plan in October. Then the doctor went on vacation and my mother wasn’t able to resume the test until January, when her deductible reset.

Yes, this is because deductibles do reset every year. This is why the best time to have a baby is in January, because you max out your deductible. So if you want to do the math on that: basically January minus nine months. The best time to try to get pregnant is probably somewhere around April—just saying—because, you know, March, if the baby comes a little early, you know. So maybe like May, May to be safe. Okay, so late April or May, go get your babies if you want babies. Just, you know, a quick little tangent there.

Data seven, remember, the surgery would have no effect, is what the test showed. So they prescribed opioids instead. Yeah, this isn’t good. Once you go down that level, it becomes very challenging.

All I remember is we took a trip for the first time in years, when she drove me to Monterey to go to the aquarium. I saw an otter in real life, swimming on its back. We left at 7:00 a.m. and listened to Green Day on the 4-hour car ride. Over time, the opioids stopped working. They made her more and more sensitive to pain, and she felt withdrawal after just 2 or 3 hours. Then gabapentin. Now the pain was so bad she couldn’t exercise, which compounded the weight gain from the slowed metabolic rate and hormonal shifts. And it barely helped with the pain, made her so fatigued she would go an entire day without getting out of bed. Then the corticosteroids, which didn’t even work. I’ve heard that for pain relief before, but I’m no doctor.

The pain was so bad that I would hear my mother wake up in the night screaming in pain. I would walk into her room asking if she’s okay. Eventually I stopped getting up. She’d yell out anguished shrieks of wordless pain, or the word “F” stretched and distended to its limits. I’d turn over and go back to sleep.

All of this while they bled us dry with follow-up appointment after appointment, specialist consultations, and more imaging scans. Each appointment was promised to be fully covered until the insurance claims were delayed and denied. There it is. Allopathic medicine did nothing for my mom’s suffering, yet it is the foundation of our entire society.

My mother told me that on a good day the nerve pain was like her legs were immersed in ice water. On a bad day it felt like her legs were clamped into a machine shop vise, screwed down to where the crank stopped turning, then crushed further until her ankle bones splintered and cracked to accommodate the tightening clamp. She had more bad days than good.

My mother crawled to the bathroom on her hands and knees. I slept in the living room to create more distance from her cries in the night. I still woke up and still went back to sleep. Back then I thought there was nothing I could do. The high co-pays made consistent treatment impossible. New treatments were denied as “not medically necessary.”

[Speaker – Continued]
Keep in mind, even though this person grew up wealthy, it doesn’t necessarily mean they were wealthy—partly because it seems like the grandfather was the wealthy one, and there were 30 grandchildren. Doesn’t necessarily mean that when you have a wealthy grandfather that all of a sudden you’re going to be wealthy. And I don’t hear a lot about a father in place here, so who knows, maybe there was a divorce or a father figure missing or something.

I severely dislike CNN, but I did think they had an interesting breakdown here. The suspect’s grandfather, Nicholas Manan, a former masonry contractor, started working at 11, built a local real estate empire including a nursing home, multiple nursing home facilities around Maryland, and two country clubs in Baltimore. The younger M, who is one of more than 30 grandchildren of Nicholas and his wife Mary, volunteered at the family business—the nursing home—while he was in high school, and so on and so forth. He ended up graduating from Gilman High School, an all-boys institution that is known as one of Baltimore’s most classy schools, where he was high school valedictorian in 2016.

You can actually see his valedictorian speech. It’s not heavily useful to what we’re doing right now, especially since I do want to go through the rest of the conspiratorial stuff that’s going on. We might take a quick glance at it, but I do want to say when the family is wealthy it does not necessarily mean that a mom and a son are. And sometimes they can get lost, especially if there’s divorce or some other hardship or medical bills or whatever. So, you know, I just don’t want to draw this conclusion that, “Oh, for sure they had money, what are they complaining about?” We don’t know that for sure. We know that the rest of the family had money.

Anyway, this is just a brief clip of him giving a valedictorian speech. I’ll give a quick little shout-out to this:

(He plays a snippet)
“And Chris Wolf helped put on a show that I doubt any of us will forget. How about this winter when Kevin Wang delivered a senior speech—personally thank each of you for sending your sons here—”

So you could see so far it’s an all-boys school, so far just thank you shout-outs to various different people:

“…thank you all for being here to celebrate… I came to realize that both views are correct. The class of 2016 is truly defined by its inventive, pioneering mentality that accompanies a strong commitment to Gilman tradition.”

All right, I mean, you get the idea. It’s relatively on the more generic side, and it’s more interesting to look at some of the more recent breadcrumbs he’s left.

I mean, he has a Goodreads account where he’s kept track of nearly 300 different books that he either read or wanted to read, and now obviously he’s in jail. Here’s the photo of him in a holding cell—this is a photo from last night—before he was actually moved into or changed, rather, into the gray, the orange jumpsuit, and then into the courthouse that we saw.

In fact, here’s a brief video of him actually getting out of a police cruiser last night:

[Speaker – Continued]
[Reporter]: “Sure thing, Erin. Well, I’ll say just about an hour ago I was there inside that courthouse, watching as Luigi Mangion walked right past myself and a number of other reporters. He was wearing a blue shirt, blue jeans. He was, of course, handcuffed, and he looked, even in this court appearance, visibly distressed. But he kept his brow furrowed through the duration of this arraignment hearing. And I should say, what was interesting though, Erin, is you said we haven’t heard a statement from the suspect. He did actually speak inside of that courtroom to the judge and to all the folks who were in there, but it was on very selective issues. And I’ll just kind of go through what we heard.

The judge asked Luigi Mangion a number of questions, first about his identity. So Mr. Mangion confirmed that that is his real name. He initially said that his residence was in Maryland, but then the judge actually pressed him on that, and then he said, ‘Actually, I have lived at various addresses before,’ then ultimately giving an address in Honolulu, Hawaii. Then he also said that he’s worked for 3 years as a data engineer up until about a year ago, and he also told the judge that he has no drug or mental health problems that the court needs to know about.

But Erin, one of the most interesting parts of that particular hearing was actually his statements after the conversation about bail. The prosecutors basically stepped up there and made the case why they believe that this man should be held without bail. They mentioned that he is awaiting potentially an arrest warrant coming from New York City as one of the major reasons. But they also said that prosecutors noted that they found him with $8,000 in U.S. cash, 2,000 in foreign currency, his passport, and also a Faraday bag, which is basically a bag designed to stop the transmission of cell service or other—”

[Speaker]: A Faraday bag is essentially a metal mesh that encompasses something. If you want to see an easy example of a Faraday cage, take your phone into a metal elevator—not with glass on the side—and your service almost always goes to zero, unless there’s some leak in the cage. Another example of a Faraday cage is a microwave. Just put your phone in the microwave—don’t turn it on, obviously—leave your phone on, put it in the microwave, leave it in there for like 30 seconds, then open the microwave door and look, and your service should be gone. It’s also a quick little way to check if the Faraday cage of your microwave is working. The purpose of your Faraday cage working in a microwave is to keep the microwave radiation inside the cage, if you will. You can search more about Faraday cages online.

But there is this belief that maybe some of this currency, the real currency, was planted on him. That’s at least what he’s alleging. Who knows? A lot of people are speculating that this is very odd that somebody so privileged would potentially go through these lengths to drop mystery items in the trash pile but not really drop them in it—just sort of place an object right there, which is kind of odd. Like, who does that? Who places an object on the trash to be found like that?

You know, a lot of people are like, “This can’t be him. How could he snap?” I don’t know. I mean, it’s obvious he clearly pre-planned a lot of his statements, his videos, the YouTube stuff. I mean, his YouTube videos started with, “If you’re watching this, I’ve been arrested,” so he kind of knew it was coming, and so therefore he planned for that eventuality.

[Speaker – Continued]
So I don’t know that that necessarily is enough for me to say, “Oh yeah, there’s definitely something weird going on here.” I mean, don’t get me wrong, the whole thing is weird—like, why does he snap? But I don’t think it’s enough for me to say that for sure there are other people involved. Frankly, I think the letter that we’ve looked at here does a lot to tell us what’s going on in his mind. And again, it’s this hate and distrust for what’s going on with the rest of corporate elite preying on individual Americans, especially via social media.

“Old treatments didn’t work and still put us out thousands of dollars. United Healthcare limited specialist consultations to twice a year. They refused to cover advanced imaging, which the specialist required for an appointment. Prior authorizations took weeks, then months. United Healthcare constantly changed their claim filing procedures. They said my mother’s doctor needed to fax his notes, crazy. Then United Healthcare said they didn’t save faxed patient correspondence and required typed notes to be mailed. Then they said they never received the notes. They were unable to approve the claim until they had received and filed the notes.”

This is actually very normal. Like, have you ever done a mail-in rebate where you buy something and you’re like, “Oh, this is $199, but that’s only with a $50 mail-in rebate, so I’m going to pay $250 now and then I’m going to do a mail-in rebate for $50”? Well, the reason they do mail-in rebates is because they know maybe only 30% of people are actually going to go through the hell of doing the mail-in rebate. So if only 30% of people are going to take the $50 discount, then the company’s not actually selling the product for $199, they’re actually selling it for about $234. It’s just a way to increase profit margins. And the harder you make something to do to claim a benefit, the more people will say, “Oh yeah, I’ll take that benefit,” buy it assuming they will, and then they realize, “Oh, I have to cut this out and self-address an envelope and do all this crap,” and then people just forget to do it and they never do it, right? It’s kind of how insurance is functioning as well.

“They promised coverage and broke their word to my mother, with every delay my anger surged. With every denial I wanted to throw the doctor through the glass of their hospital waiting room, but it wasn’t them. It wasn’t the doctors, the receptionists, the administrators, the pharmacists, the imaging techs, or anyone else we met. It was United Healthcare. People are dying. Evil has become institutionalized. Corporations are making billions of dollars off of pain.

We entered into an agreement for healthcare with a legally binding contract that promised care commensurate with our insurance payments and medical needs. Then United Healthcare changes the rules to suit their own profits. They think they make the rules. And they think that because it’s legal, no one will punish them.”

You can see where the frustration is coming from now.

“My own chronic back pain wakes me in the night screaming in pain. I sought out another type of healing that showed me the real antidote that ails us. I bide my time, saving my last strength to strike my final blows. All extractors must be forced to swallow the bitter pain they deal out to millions. As our chief executives, it is our obligations to make our lives better first and foremost. We must seek to improve our own circumstances and defend ourselves. As we do that, our actions have ripple effects that can improve the lives of others.”

[Speaker – Continued]
“Rules exist between two individuals in a network that covers the entire Earth. Some of these rules are written down, some of these rules emerge from a natural respect between two individuals. Some of these rules are defined in physical laws, like the properties of gravity, magnetism, or potential energy stored in chemical bonds of potassium nitrate. No single document better encapsulates the belief that all people are equal in fundamental worth and moral status, and the frameworks for fostering collective well-being, than the U.S. Constitution. Writing a rule down makes it into a law. I don’t give an F about the law. The law means nothing. What does matter is following the guidance of our own logic and what we learn from those before us. That’s where United Healthcare went wrong. They violated their contract with my mother, with me, and tens of millions of Americans. This is a threat to my own family, my family’s health, and the health of our country, and this requires me to respond with an act of war.”

End.

Well, there you have it. There’s sort of a full breakdown there.

Now, here, just to end sort of on a lighter note, I suppose: a tragedy in four parts. Luigi with American liberty in the background, right—this is a reference to an Italian coming to America for a better future, getting screwed by the American insurance complex, killing the CEO, getting arrested.

Then, let’s see here, the latest: police say the suspect saw himself as a hero fighting corporate corruption. Yes, we just went through that—fighting the parasitic healthcare industry. There you go. Views himself as a hero, finally decides to act. Yep, we just saw that. “Completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people” was the line that he shouted as he was brought into the courtroom.

What else did we have? Let’s see. The school, how he wanted to start a video game. His friends said they never thought he would self-destruct. Private security guards are currently blocking access to the family’s house on a golf club. After doing a surf lesson, he ended up in bed for a week. We saw that. We saw his X posts. We saw his X Pokémon. 300 books, we saw that. Yeah, there we go. That’s all of the latest and what we know regarding the manifesto and everything else, with the exception of the crypto coin. Honestly, I guess somebody created a Luigi M crypto coin that like skyrocketed to a $50 million market cap, you know, with very few being sold—it’s already sort of bleeding out.

But anyway, there you have it. There’s the latest of everything that’s going on. Appreciate you all being here and watching my summary on it. Goodbye everyone, good luck, and I can’t wait to be back to regularly scheduled programming as soon as I get caught up on all else. Thanks so much, goodbye and good luck.
