“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.
I appreciate you posting this here. I had not read a manifesto yet that sounded like it was legitimately his. This one seems internally consistent at least, as if it was written by a real person. Can never be sure.
In this one, it seems there’s nothing for me to dislike, which makes me believe it was written by a real person, but even more cautious about believing it. I had, until now, only heard negative (from my pov) things about him. It is unusual for something like this to leak. The media tries it’s best to keep the lid on contagious ideas. (Another reason to be incredulous)
I expect the media will try to give both sides something to dislike about him, to discourage idolatry and imitation. Feels like some 1984/Brave New World style social engineering to me.
Will post more in my own comments
Just exactly how is this a “manifesto?”
a written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its issuer
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.

Please explain how you think a platform would explain this to their users.
CEOs are people to too, can’t name call them. It is a “slur”
Sounds pretty unlikely.
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.
i think this one (manifesto) is fake. this one is real https://archive.is/7jUsF
it’s way more coherentThat is not anything a heir to a 600 million dollar fortune would write. You have to ask yourself “Wtf”, which story is real?
damn is mario even a family friendly franchise anymore?
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.
He lost it all because of capitalism.
he also head it all DUE TO CAPITALISM
With that being said, we don’t don’t get to pick our heros, they come as they. His work is what I judge him on.
We don’t chose our family background. Many times class war leaders are part of the elites themselves but but at some point they see the reality and switch teams.
FDR was a disabled and I always assumed that his condition forced him to see the suffering of the working class so he sided with them. No peasant would ever be able to do what he did. He was the elite.
I see a lot of leftist political whores try to smear him based on his class… it is disgusting.
Tells you all you need to know about what sort of leftist they are.
he also had it all DUE TO CAPITALISM
As far as I’m aware he was not part of the owning class, he just had a good paying job, that does not make him a benefactor of capitalism.

Says the person who brought his class up… 🤔
Look, I’m not trying to have a go, but honestly this is completely derailing from my point - health is not a virtue, nor is it in our control (despite what abled people love to believe), and being in ill health and or becoming disabled is only “losing it all” because of capitalism and abled supremacy, NOT because sick and disabled people’s lives no longer have value (which is what the original comment implies).
As far as I’m aware he was not part of the owning class,
His family owns income producing businessES. He has the background. I am not sure if he personally had access to the wealth though.
Says the person who brought his class up…
Check fake TV talking heads covering him, Cuamo, Shapiro, Fox News etc. Also there comment on lemmy suggesting similar. My comment was addressing that sentiment.

Oh right, those leftists lmfao…
Damn Gen Z kids can’t even write a full page manifesto anymore smdh
/s
Not even a whole book like they used to. SHM My Head.
or type initialisms
Shaking head my my head?

What’s funny about this? Its just confusing
The humor is mostly referential. Guess you just had to be there
IKR, right? It’s just redundancy for its own sake.
ChatGPT, write me a manifesto
📎 Looks like you’re writing a manifesto, would you like some suggestions?
Actually I was just writing a letter to my sister you fucking crazy paperclip.
And, clippy, do you really need that M16?
Post got removed in .world for not being a “news source” even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist,
Unsurprising from .world
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?
Come over to lemmy.zip :)
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.
lemmy.ml is technically the most official instance, because it’s run by the developers themselves.
I’m on .ee am I missing things?
Probably not.
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.
I’m glad their captcha was broken when I tried to sign up.
.world doesn’t allow journalism
Their allowed articles are “Israel expands defensive buffer zone in Syria”.
Top lol.
weird way to spell “invasion and occuption”…
[indecipherable] is the new [redacted]
I think it’s “4th”.
I suspect the second indecipherable is because they did not want to give the public a “name” to unite behind, kinda like how democrats started calling enemies “weird”.
Imagine if he called them “assholes” or smth, the public would latch onto that and use it as a rallying standard.
Not like we needed help calling them that, and his calling them “parasites” earlier seems at least slightly less generic and more cutting
Praising the fed 🤮
Sounds like a fake “confession” he was corrected into signing to me.
I think the word was coerced and got corrected to corrected. Just a heads up! Also agree with you.
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.
I have my reservations about the klippenstein’s, but if he has the manifesto, why not post a scanned copy?
What reservations please? Not aware…
It was leaked as a transcription. Otherwise we would all be debating what the unintelligible words/passages are based on their appearance. People would be trying AI to decode it. (Likely, unsuccessfully)
Sounds like fanfic. If he can’t verify the authenticity then he lost all credibility
