“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.

Watching whoever that dumb fuck who isn't Jon Stewart latch on ONE LINE of this and mock him for being "not qualified" was the most pathetic showing of former satirical programming just being state propaganda i've seen in at least 4 days.

That is literally a suicide note found on someone before he mustered the nerve.

i think this one (manifesto) is fake for obvious reasons. this one is real https://archive.is/7jUsF
it's way more coherent

[–] Jamablaya@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

That is not anything a heir to a 600 million dollar fortune would write. You have to ask yourself "Wtf", which story is real?

Damn Gen Z kids can't even write a full page manifesto anymore smdh

ChatGPT, write me a manifesto

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 59 points 1 week ago (1 children)

📎 Looks like you're writing a manifesto, would you like some suggestions?

This sounds like a written confession or statement to the police, after he's already in police custody. Not a "manifesto", which is something justifying your actions to the public and done before carrying out whatever it is.

I'm not buying any of this. Someone who went to so much trouble planning, executing, and getting away without a trace, isn't going to go out in public with a bunch of incriminating items on their person. The NYPD probably just picked this tip out of the thousands they got, and are making things fit after the fact.

Unsurprising from .world

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Man, I signed up at world because it sounded like the most official one, but there's so much fuckery constantly on this instance... I even donated at one point then stopped when they were trying to shut down instances talking about piracy. Wtf?

[–] turtle@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

You can easily sign up at another instance and export / import your subscriptions and settings. The only thing you can't transfer is your old posts, afaik.

.world should not be removing articles from Ken Klippenstein. I detest the man for his methods and indiscretion (not necessarily in this instance), but he does post the facts as he receives them.

This whole thing smells like horse shit. You hear so make stories about murderers ditching anything they had on them at the time of the crime. Rivers and lakes get dragged, forests are swept, every dumpster is turned upside down.

Yet, you're going to tell me homie was 300 miles away carrying everything he had still on him from the crime AND a literal confession note? Are they sure he wasn't waving air traffic controller sticks around on the freeway yelling, "IT WAS ME IT WAS ME"?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (4 children)

At the very least it seems incongruous with leaving the state afterwards. If he was that fatalistic about being caught why didn't he just use a normal gun and drop it afterwards while he waited for the cops? He literally made a suppressed weapon and had a complex exit plan. That doesn't match up.

Just remember which instance let you read this, and which one wouldn't let you.

.ml doesnt need to host a bi monthly feud posts like .world does. Their moderator actions are all the advertisements we need. Make an account and export your settings today! Lemmy.ml

I mean .world 100% sucks lol, and people should definitely move off it, but I'd also like people to move off .ml or any other general purpose instance since centralization on any one instance can cause issues imo. I'm considering switching off of .ee for the same reason. I think it makes more sense to have specific instances for specific things, so that the admins of one instance can have more domain specific knowledge ideally.

.world specifically does seem like they can't go more than a few weeks without some kind of drama though lol.

This guy is a reminder that health is the most important thing in life. He lost his health which led him to lose it all.

This is either disinformation or whatever asshole wrote this doesn't know US history.

You can still see the scars in the JP Morgan building in wall street from the horse drawn carriage bomb that was set against those greedy corporate assholes after the arrest of Sacco and Vanzetti in 1920

We have a long history of defending against their violence

Is that 3 or 250 page copy?

Asking for a friend.

I have a weird feeling they are making this shit up as they go.

The info drip drives us where they want us talking at every turn.

Nobody is talking about the dead parasite or the corruption. I think they are looking for this to blow over.

Job is done, back to work peasants you got premiums to pay. Don't ya?
