“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.

Reddit suppressing and removing all posts and even his account while Lemmy communities keep them all up. Feels good man

.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.

Unsurprising from .world

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (5 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.

[–] mayhair@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

lemmy.ml is technically the most official instance, because it's run by the developers themselves.

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm on .ee am I missing things?

[–] bilb@lem.monster 3 points 6 days ago

Probably not.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

My instance is great, the only issue I've ever had is that they don't defederate from some of the more shitty instances. Based on what you're talking about, you may appreciate that, though.

I guess I see the logic in simply blocking that on an app/browser level.

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"?

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
