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.
Mod: Please update the post title to match the original article.
Edit: Thank you.
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.
Based Gizmodo
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
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

I assume the “Indecipherable” words are expletives? Maybe “fucking” and “assholes?”
Obviously, we’d need to see the handwriting, but just from context:
“United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart.”
Should be “fourth”. Fourth largest company. Unless he has a fun modifier on it like “fourth fucking” or “fucking fourth”.
Ahh, that makes more sense. They’re big but not the largest.
i like the idea of using indeciperable as a euphemism to replace expletives. this should be generally adopted imo.
“i have the worst indecipherable luck!”
These indecipherable guys!
I don’t think this qualifies as a manifesto. Definition requires that it be public, not found on someone: A public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions, especially of a political nature.
The word “manifesto” makes it seem more sinister and clickable.
I personally think it still fits that definition
You have your own dictionary?
Look at the dumb cops in the picture with so little self-awareness that they think they’re on the same side as the CEOs.
A pair of fucking stooges.
interesting that he mentions social engineering in the manifesto. makes me think he lured the CEO somehow and that’s why he knew exactly when the target would be there. he waited for like 5 minutes before the CEO showed up, that was unrealistically precise if all you had was public information.
Or maybe he had more planned. He’s vague about the scope of what he did, as if the letter were there in case he got caught at any point.
It would provide an explanation for him keeping the gun.
A tangent: On r/interestingasfuck, a post (np link) about Klippenstein’s report was removed in less than an hour, but has continued to skyrocket in upvotes, fueled by comments alone
(As of this comment, first removal complaint was 2 hours ago, but post was made 3 hours ago.)
Curious if this a reddit-wide thing (i.e. implemented by oligarchs) or something specific to that community.
It’s reddit wide. Under any story about Luigi if the link to the manifesto gets posted it gets removed.
It’s indeed Reddit-wide. Rather than being moderator-specific, it’s admin-enforced.
- r/interesting (np)
- r/WitchesVsPatriarchy (np) (if a mod were to expunge it, it wouldn’t be these)
To qualify what you mentioned, I’ve seen the manifesto itself successfully pasted and kept up for 15+ hours, but not the link to it. (just CTRL+F for “indecipherable” in either the r/interestingasfuck or r/WitchesVsPatriarchy threads)
Saw the comment further down in the thread.
Fascinating stuff.
It’s understandable though. I don’t think US oligarchs are too concerned about security per se (US is sufficiently wealthy, on a compative basis, for anything approaching a real rebellion), but the whole situations does raise uncomfortable questions about their regime.
