Luigi's Manifesto (www.kenklippenstein.com)
submitted 1 week ago by lukes26@lemm.ee to c/usa@lemmy.ml

“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.”

Post got removed in .world for not being a "news source" even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist, so trying again here I guess.

Just exactly how is this a "manifesto?"

They are framing him in the same camp as uncle Ted.

The issue I don't think they realized that people might take it "the wrong" way haha

If this is really his letter, which I assuming it is since it is too level headed and direct, this can't be good look for parasite class.

Mark my word the term "parasite" will modded going forward as a hate speech. I just feel the censorship and bans on all main stream socials with corporate advertisers at least.

How long until someone uses the Hello Mario Framework or similar to build a game where Luigi battles US healthcare, pharma, and oil execs?

Sounds like a fake "confession" he was corrected into signing to me.

[-] Bosht@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I think the word was coerced and got corrected to corrected. Just a heads up! Also agree with you.

I have my reservations about the klippenstein's, but if he has the manifesto, why not post a scanned copy?

I heard there was more, about his mother’s back pain and dealing with the insurance for that.

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

Yeah that one's unconfirmed but also very likely just entirely made up by someone

I don't believe he wrote it. I don't believe he did it. But I don't disagree with what this obvious frame job says regardless.
