edit: fixed title

Journalist and self-proclaimed Freedom of Information Act nerd Ken Klippenstein claims to have released Mangione’s manifesto. He also believes that some news sources are withholding it.

Manifesto (source: Klippenstein)

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 allwed 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.

Side note:

It’s good to see journalists willing to make a correction

Correction: This post originally stated that Elon Musk had donated over a quarter of a million dollars to elect Trump and other Republicans in last month’s election. It was over a quarter of a billion dollars. Specifically, $277 million, according to CBS News. Gizmodo regrets the error and the fact that our country is about to be run by vile billionaires who will enrich themselves even further.

This is great stuff and he’s set out a very clear blueprint for deterrance. He’s putting Corporate America and Big Health Insurance on a PIP so looking forward to everyone doing better :)

Nice to finally throw their goddamn motherfucking bullshit rulebook right back at them and force a Medical New Deal on them

Look how the pig is squeezing his neck, pretty hard from the looks of it. If Trump or his cronies were ever arrested they would set up a press box and microphones

I’m astonished that this is the only comment about that, it’s the first thing I noticed.

In modern societies that grip is reserved for violent junkies, wriggling and foaming at the mouth

Yet nobody blinks an eye

Funny how this is constantly being censored on reddit and likely other social media. I don’t think the oligarchs like the message.

[ Removed by Reddit ] being on the frontpage for hours despite being expunged near-instantly is morbidly funny. The absence is speaking louder than the silence
