Going Postal in the Land of Lunacy
On December 4, United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed outside the entrance to the New York Hilton Hotel. Right in the heart of what’s left of New York City. That seems like a lot of symbolism there. At least it didn’t happen on Wall Street. Don’t want to get those Occupy protesters riled up.
Now, I haven’t paid all that much attention to this case. I have been lied to so often by our state controlled media, and every authority figure with a public platform, that I simply assume that these incidents are distorted, misrepresented, or fabricated theater. My first impression was that the gunman had on what appeared be a bizarre, lifelike mask, with a maniacal grin like the Joker plastered on it, reinforcing my innate skepticism. As it turned out, it wasn’t a mask, but the seemingly perpetual smile on the face of the assailant, as shown in all the photos published of him. The suspect escaped after the shooting, to Central Park of all places, where he left a backpack. Fleeing assailants in high profile cases are oddly prone to leave incriminating evidence behind. Like James Earl Ray. Or some of the 19 crazed 9/11 hijackers. Or the surviving, alleged Boston Bomber. It’s a patsy thing, you wouldn’t understand.
The suspect would eventually be apprehended at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s. Where else would have been more appropriate in America 2.0? Ivy League graduate Luigi Nicholas Mangione- yep, all three names- was turned in to the authorities by an alert McDonald’s employee. He was supposedly recognized by his distinct eyebrows. What about his continuous, toothy grin? The employee was probably inspired by Donald Trump’s recent stint as a Pennsylvania McDonald’s worker. Coincidentally, Trump’s first assassination attempt was also in the keystone state. Lots of stuff going on in Pennsylvania. Mangione’s mother had reported him missing in November. Maybe he was whisked off to a night school MK-ULTRA crash course. Nino Mangione, related in some unreported manner to the alleged shooter, released a statement expressing the family’s sympathy for the victim’s family. Nino is a Republican county delegate in Baltimore, Maryland. I bet he has decent health insurance coverage.
Incredibly, it appears that the McDonald’s employee may be denied the $60,000 reward money the authorities offered. Some in the conspiracy world, perhaps from personal experience, claim that it is common for the authorities to offer a reward, and then renege on it. I’ve never tried to collect a reward, but it sounds believable to me, given what we know about the authorities. That’s at least two years salary for a McDonald’s worker. If you’re going to offer a reward, pay off. And perhaps even more fantastically, the policeman who arrested Mangione at the McDonald’s was named….Officer Frye. Wouldn’t surprise me if the employee was named Berger. Well, remember it was Anthony Weiner who texted pictures of his…weiner. And Wayne Carver was the coroner in the Sandy Hook case. And then there’s the first syllable in high profile Pete Buttigieg’s name. Kind of suits a gay married politician, doesn’t it?
Mangione was purportedly motivated to shoot Thompson because of the medical industry’s treatment of one of his relatives. Well, there are probably tens of millions of Americans, if not more, who could easily have a similar motivation. Mangione wasn’t a MAGA supporter, as cynical observers might expect, but instead was drawn to “climate change,” and lab grown food, for some reason. He had retweeted the odious Yuval Noal Harari, of the odious World Economic Forum. Where was Bill Gates at the time of the shooting? Mangione supposedly idolized Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. Just to make the establishment feel better, he also supported Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. As he was ushered into a Pennsylvania courtroom, where he was fighting extradition to New York, Mangione yelled, “This is completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people.” To be fair, that kind of sounds like me.
Thompson, who earned a reported $10 million annually, was supposedly facing a lawsuit and an investigation from the Department of Justice. Thompson was accused of not revealing the impending DOJ investigation to investors, before unloading almost a third of his company stock. Well, that’s hardly unusual behavior for elites, past and present, in this rigged economy. Insider trading and crafty manipulation are as American as a McDonald’s apple pie. He was also accused of limiting competition and trying to operate as a monopoly. In this regard, he was indistinguishable from every devout capitalist in this crumbling country. How can you blame a man for following the personal credo of the Founding Father of crony capitalism, John D. Rockefeller, who is remembered for saying “competition is a sin?”
As always, the theories are flying. That will happen when you don’t have a free press which any rational person can trust. Some are suggesting Thompson was killed because he was going to testify against Lady Nancy Pelosi. Well, the lovely former Speaker was once Miss Lube Rack of 1959. And her father was such a noted Mob figure in Baltimore that President John F. Kennedy himself was concerned about it. That’s one of the many gems you can find in my new book American Memory Hole. So she might be capable of ordering a hit if she had to. And, as usual, there are those who believe that the entire incident was fake. Again, when you’re never told the truth, that kind of wild but intriguing speculation will happen. Whatever really occurred, it wasn’t what the official narrative will turn out to be. I’m still hoping to find a single incident from American history, which the authorities represented accurately.
We are told that the weapon Mangione used to kill Thompson with was a gun from a 3D printer. Now, I simply can’t comprehend how a gun, or any other tangible object, can come out of any printer. I worked with large printers for years. You put paper and ink in them. Not metal or anything else. I realize that I am a mere lowly community college dropout, but this is truly incomprehensible to me. If you can create a gun, why not a person? If you’re an incel, why wait for Japan to perfect the sex dolls? Just print out a supermodel. Would a 3D supermodel be any different from a garden variety one? Or how about cash? I would think you could print out 3D denominations which are no more counterfeit than anything the Federal Reserve produces. They create money out of thin air, so why couldn’t the average citizen do that on his fancy 3D printer? Why not cars or even houses? The possibilities are 3D endless. Brave new world indeed.
Despite his worship of the Unabomber and interest in “Climate Change,” Mangione is described as being associated with the “online right.” This is presumably just as bad as being a pre-internet “right-wing extremist.” Mangione called doctors “basically worthless,” and retweeted Edward Snowden’s suggestion that the Democrats nominate RFK, Jr. I don’t know, but I’m thinking he’s the kind of guy I might have tried to get on my podcast. As for RFK, Jr., a million or so former Nobel laureates have come out against him being approved as HHS Secretary. They claim he would “endanger public health and undermine scientific credibility.” Remember. the Nobel laureates are an august group. Both the late beloved Henry Kissinger and the living beloved Barack Obama were winners of the Nobel Peace prize. The fact they won it while being thoroughly committed to war just adds to their own scientific credibility.
The shooting of Thompson reminded me of past “going postal” tragedies. What has always amazed me is the fact that not a single person has ever “gone postal” against anyone who was responsible for firing them, not promoting them, or whatever. Instead, they always seem to just randomly shoot their co-workers, who are being screwed by the same management. This is one reason why I distrust anything that is reported. CEOs and other powerful executives must have some really impressive security. Otherwise, why wouldn’t any “postal” shooters have ever targeted them? I mean, you’ve lost your reason to the degree that you’re bringing a gun to work to shoot someone, so why wouldn’t you make a gesture that people could understand? Not approve of, but at least recognize as the motivation for the horrible act. Of course, he shot the guy who fired him. He shot the CEO who laid him off. Makes sense.
Until now. Luigi Nicholas Mangione has struck a blow for the frustrated, the beaten down, and those driven into financial ruin by the cost of healthcare. Now, I am certainly not approving his actions. I don’t want to see anyone killed. Remember, I’m against capital punishment. I try not to step on insects. But there are a whole lot of people who do approve of Mangione’s act. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro may declare “he’s no hero,” but many disagree. #FreeLuigi is trending online. Social media has been flooded with supportive messages for Mangione. The obscure alleged killer has seen his Instagram account swell to over 21,000 followers. One bright young female tweeted, “he’s only guilty of being hot.” Another castigated the “class traitor” who snitched on him. Remember, Jeffrey Dahmer received numerous marriage proposals in prison. Some women, but no men, are drawn to notorious criminals.
The supernaturally unfunny Stephen Colbert, serving in his lucrative full time gig as a court jester for the Deep State, marveled over how “hot” Mangione was, too. He made some joke about “you know that guy’s Italian, because you could grate parmesan on those abs!” Continuing in this utterly gay vein, Colbert described the online reaction to Mangione as “swift and horny.” Jimmy Kimmel, who has threatened to sue anyone who says he’s on the still unreleased official Epstein List, concentrated on making fun of Mangione’s name. It was a decidedly light hearted way to speak about murder. I’m the last one to spring to the defense of a dead CEO, but a civil society should show at least a bit of proper respect for someone who was assassinated. And the capitalist system that was so good to Thompson quickly produced Luigi Mangione merchandise, including coffee mugs, t-shirts and hoodies. Sales are strong.
Now, Mangione went to a lot of effort, more than any real killer or scapegoated patsy that I’ve ever heard of. He actually wrote on the casings from his 3D gun (I don’t know- were they 3D casings?) words like “Depose,” “Deny,” and “Delay.” You have to write really small to do something like that. Maybe our young people are more attentive to detail than prospective employers have argued. Even nurses on TikTok have expressed their frustration with patients being denied insurance. If our horrid “healthcare” system, or the insurance industry that is largely responsible for making it so bad, is put on trial, they stand as good a chance of being found guilty as Mangione does. The millions who have experienced this system at its worst are going to have a hard time summoning tears over the death of someone who had the power and authority of an insurance company CEO.
Will this killing usher in a new era, when disgruntled citizens begin to take out their frustrations on powerful people, who are profiting from massive corruption? Who are insensitive to the needs of financially struggling individuals and families? I would imagine that if a CEO gets murdered, right after laying off thousands of employees, then the next CEO might think twice about doing it. Again, I’m not promoting the idea that people should begin assassinating CEOs and the like. I’m not advocating for guillotines and another French Revolution. But if someone is put into the kind of desperate situation that millions of Americans are presently in, then I can understand how they might look to assign blame, and enact a kind of vigilante justice. Vigilantism was once popular; just look at how famous Charles Bronson became, for starring in a bunch of vigilante movies.
Bernie Goetz was convicted of being a vigilante decades ago, but in the other big story this week, Daniel Penny was found not guilty, after inadvertently killing troubled drug addict Jordan Neely on a subway, after he’d been threatening passengers. This was truly a shocking verdict. In New York? And the jury wasn’t teleported in from the 1930s deep south? Black jurors actually voted to exonerate a White man who caused the death of a Black man. Maybe the second election of Trump really did change things. Jason Whitlock is maintaining that “Wokeism” is dead. Certainly, the response from the deranged Left, outside of the women shaving their heads and withholding sex on TikTok, has been remarkably tepid. Maybe the insane celebrities were right, and the “White Supremacists” have taken control. Robert DeNiro will be forced to retire, and count his estimated $500 million fortune.
And the question must be asked: why isn’t Daniel Penny considered “hot” by the likes of Stephen Colbert and anonymous females on social media? Now, I don’t pretend to be able to sound as gay as Colbert can, but Penny looks like a strapping fellow to me. Very manly. Don’t many women love curly golden locks? The answer is obvious. Penny’s victim was a Black man. End of story. End of any chance he ever had of being publicly declared “hot.” If only Penny had choked out a problematic White drug addict or something. Then he’d be the toast of the town, right alongside Luigi Mangione and his six pack abs. Remember how many online thought Casey Anthony was “hot,” after she almost certainly killed her little daughter? Allegedly. She was inexplicably found not guilty by one of those extremely rare lenient juries. My guess is that if her daughter had been biracial, no one would have dared to suggest she was “hot.”
Meanwhile, the crusade for “greater Israel” goes on, and none of Donald Trump’s ardent Zionist appointees are about to fight it. Will World War III be launched, just in time to saddle Trump with it, and give him an excuse not to fulfill his promises again? And then there are the new viruses Trump will have to contend with, as the usual WEF type suspects are warning. As one BLM activist ludicrously claimed, loud Black people are now in danger of being choked out by other Daniel Pennys. This could get interesting in movie theaters where there is a diverse audience. Everyone who’s been around Blacks in theaters knows that is not an unfair stereotype. So both unruly Black people and incredibly wealthy CEOs could find themselves with a target on their backs. As America 2.0 turns. Wherever they are, Luigi Mangione and Daniel Penny are probably both regretting and relishing their fifteen minutes of fame.
