OPINION –
Well it’s time for another psyop, folks, because it’s never a dull day in the Deep State’s America.
The unfolding manhunt and arrest of the UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin is feeling more and more like an immersive episode of CSI: NY than the organic tale of an isolated hit from a young twenty-something.
The alleged 26-year-old assassin Luigi Mangione seemingly left a trail of clues meant to publicly highlight his actions, but he also claimed planted evidence after he was taken into custody.
In this post, we’ll cover the various evidence and possible explanations for what’s playing out in United States theater.
A patsy is born?
As a refresher, here are the first photos of the assassin that were released to the public on the day of the assassination, Wednesday, December 4th:
Although the second set of footage above was said to have been captured a day prior, we can see that the assassin is wearing the same outfit and backpack as during the hit.
We can also see the pink undertones in the assassin’s skin, suggesting that this Caucasian man is indeed the correct suspect.
Then something strange happens. The next set of footage released of the suspect seems to show a completely different person with olive skin.
Many astute followers have also pointed out differences in the eyebrows, noting that Luigi Mangione has a unibrow, whereas the first photos show someone with more widely spaced brows. Could Mangione have grown back a unibrow in a day’s time?
Expert work
Online onlookers have also marveled at the professionalism of the hit, noting the assassin’s calm and composed demeanor while cleanly executing the job. The casing of three used bullets had been marked with the words “Deny,” “Defend,” and “Depose.”
The assassin then went about a well-thought-out escape plan which took him into Central Park, which conveniently lacks security cameras.
It was there that the assassin left behind his backpack which was said by police to contain Monopoly money and a jacket.
The backpack appears to match the one worn in the assassination surveillance footage.
Ronald McDonald paging the FBI
The suspect was then able to escape to Pennsylvania where he’d ultimately be identified several days later. Mangione was spotted on Monday, December 9th eating a hash brown at a McDonald’s in Altoona, PA.
Some have called even the identification suspicious, noting that we didn’t have a clear idea of what the shooter looked like. How was this employee able to make such an astute and easy ID?
The employee mentioned Mangione’s striking eyebrows as the tell, but in the McDonald’s footage, he has a large beanie pulled over his brows.
Even stranger, the officer who made the arrest is named Tyler Frye.
In fact, there’s a lot to say about McDonald’s which has been living something of a PR dream the past several months.
Political pundit Shipwreck laid out the long list of McD’s recent timeline in the public sphere in an X post on Tuesday:
- Mangione was arrested by officer Frye at McDonald’s
- Police found Monopoly money in the discarded backpack, and McDonald’s recently brought back their Monopoly game promotion that was discontinued in 2016 (after they were caught rigging it by the FBI)
- Both Harris and Trump campaigns featured McDonald’s (Harris said she once worked there; Trump worked a shift as a publicity stunt; RFK Jr. promised to make the company fry their food in beef tallow)
- Massive E. coli outbreak linked to the chain’s onions following Trump’s “shift”
- Trump, RFK Jr., Mike Johnson, Don Jr., and Elon Musk took a group photo posing with McDonald’s food (as has Mangione)
- Musk shared a Trump sizzle video that included audio: “The activation word: Ronald McDonald”
- A Palestinian protest blocked the Ronald McDonald float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, making headlines.
“Maybe McDonalds is going to win an upcoming franchise war,” Shipwreck posits.
Waiting for arrest
Many have found Mangione’s arrest to be suspicious considering how clean his plan had been up until being handcuffed under the Golden Arches.
Mangione was arrested carrying a waterproof Faraday bag. His belongings included a gun and suppressor (thought to be 3D printed), a fake ID that names him as a Mark Rosario in New Jersey, his passport, $10,000 combined in domestic and foreign currency, and his laptop with a published manifesto.
The manifesto was published to Substack on December 9 before quickly being taken down, presumably by the company.
Within, the alleged assassin explains the heartbreaking background of his and his mother’s health problems that were only exacerbated by UnitedHealthcare’s poor and greedy coverage.
The writer seems to fancy himself a sort of vigilante, doing what he felt necessary to push back and make a statement against a corrupted system:
The second amendment means I am my own chief executive and commander in chief of my own military. I authorize my own act of self-defense in response to a hostile entity making war on me and my family.
Nelson Mandela says no form of viooence can be excused. Camus says it’s all the same, whether you live or die or have a cup of coffee. MLK says violence never brings permanent peace. Gandhi says that non-violence is the mightiest power available to mankind.
That’s who they tell you are heroes. That’s who our revolutionaries are.
Yet is that not capitalistic? Non-violence keeps the system working at full speed ahead.
What did it get us. Look in the mirror.
They want us to be non-violent, so that they can grow fat off the blood they take from us.
The only way out is through. Not all of us will make it. Each of us is our own chief executive. You have to decide what you will tolerate.”
Media reports paint Mangione as somewhat crippled thanks to a gruesome back surgery, which is referenced in his manifesto as chronic pain that causes him to wake up in the middle of the night screaming.
Still, people aren’t buying it.
Custody without bail
Mangione was immediately taken into police custody, as well as court to speak to a judge on the same day of his arrest.
According to CNN reporting, Mangione said in court that he was from Hawaii but has moved around as of late, previously worked as a data engineer, and has no drug or mental health problems to report. He didn’t consider his operation to be of criminal sophistication.
Most peculiarly, Mangione told the judge that the $10k found in his possession was a surprise to him, claiming that it was planted.
Suspicious video
A YouTube channel established in January under the name “Luigi Mangione” uploaded a new video the day of the arrest.
“If you see this, I’m already under arrest,” the video (with no audio) said. Then a minute-long countdown cryptically revealed: “All is scheduled, be patient. Bye for now.”
The video promised to expose the truth on December 11th, two days later.
The account managed to swap profile pictures since being discovered, so unless operated by a conspirator, it’s probably nothing more than the work of a scammer ready to mooch a quick buck.
YouTube quickly took down the account, as did Instagram of Mangione’s legitimate profile.
X is the only social media platform that still allows the public to peruse the alleged assassin’s profile, showcasing their commitment to free speech and anti-censorship ideology.
Ivy League genius
Another found Internet artifact of the alleged assassin is his stacked Goodreads with a range of interesting reads from self-help and healing to science and programming. Mangione enjoyed an eclectic assortment of biographies like that of Elon Musk and Steve-O, and thought-provoking novels like 1984 and Wool.
Luigi Mangione is clearly an intelligent young man. He graduated from the private Ivy League University of Pennsylvania with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Computer Science.
As his reading habits may testify along with personal character witnesses, Mangione is a voracious learner and deeply curious about life. He even was an active contributor on GitHub.
Privileged upbringing
According to public statements, friends and family are in disbelief of the out-of-character allegations.
It also appears that Mangione had disappeared for some time ahead of the assassination, which was cause for concern among friends and family. Allegedly, his mother reported him missing on November 18.
Luigi Mangione’s family released a statement on the day of the arrest expressing their shock and lack of knowledge.
The statement was released by Nino Mangione, a cousin of the suspect who serves in the Maryland House of Delegates.
Interestingly, the Mangione family is well known in the Baltimore area as the owners of local country clubs, a nursing home company, and a right-leaning radio station.
Taking the fall
Many of those following the assassination saga are calling Mangione a patsy.
Otherwise known as a “fall guy,” a patsy is essentially the person made to take the blame for something.
But who would he be taking the fall for? Some say Nancy Pelosi.
Mob boss Pelosi
Nancy Pelosi, the descendent of a notorious Baltimore mob family, was linked to the assassination on the very same day when rumors swirled that Thompson had been set to testify against her for insider trading.
I haven’t found evidence to support the claim of an upcoming testimony, but Thompson was being investigated for inside trading himself, which could have further reaching implications than meets the eye.
This story takes us back to February 21 when Brian Thompson’s company UnitedHealth Group was hit by a cyberattack.
That same day (and a date about a week prior) Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul invested in call options for cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks.
Wouldn’t you know it—Palo Alto Networks would be the firm later chosen to lead the cyberattack investigation.
Hypothetically, it’s possible that Brian Thompson was involved in facilitating this inside deal and was therefore posing a serious risk to the Pelosi family during his DOJ probe.
Thompson had once even discussed on video the money that came from the government, including assistance from Nancy Pelosi in obtaining a grant.
This may be less remarkable if it weren’t for the Pelosi family’s alleged links to the Mangione family.
InfoWars host Chase Geiser wrote a post with excellent background on the “well-documented ties” between Nancy Pelosi’s father Thomas D’Alesandro Jr. and Luigi Mangione’s grandfather Nicholas Mangione.
He shared a clip of a 1989 Washington Post article in which “D’Alesandro defends the reputation of Nicholas Mangione.”
“Could Luigi Mangione have been part of a coordinated effort to silence Thompson and shield Pelosi from insider trading accusations?” Geiser asks.
Mind control
Political commentator the Patriot Voice shared his take on another frequent hypothesis: MK Ultra.
For those who aren’t familiar, MK-Ultra is a mind control program from the CIA that was supposedly disbanded in 1973. Many victims of the US trafficking ring who come forward today mention MK Ultra, and that these control tactics are still alive and well.
In my opinion, it’s pretty glaring that the “suspect” Luigi Mangione, who they say assassinated United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is likely some sort of MK Ultra victim. The kid had an Ivy league education & a pretty sizable presence on social media while being pretty “put together” compared to what you would normally imagine a shooter to be. An immediate red flag to me, is that we now know MORE about this would be assassin than we do the guy who tried to murder Donald Trump & it’s been a few days… That is because they WANT you to focus on this guy.”
Through MK Ultra techniques, victims are essentially able to be programmed to carry out anything their handlers would like—yes, even murder.
Mangione’s former roommate gave a glowing character testimony of the alleged assassin on a Fox News segment, describing his personality today as a completely different person. He said the murder is “completely incompatible with the person I lived with.”
The Fox correspondent along with others have suggested that Mangione’s psychedelic drug use caused him to snap, though MK Ultra programming would accomplish a similar effect.
This theory could certainly explain why Mangione went off the grid, but still, we are left with burning questions:
- What was Mangione up to during his abrupt period away from family and friends?
- How did he learn how to handle a gun and plan his execution?
- Could he have supposedly lost his mind from drug use and still carried out such a sophisticated operation?
- Was it even him who did the hit, or was he planted after the fact?
- What happened to the first pictured suspect with widely spaced brows?
X user Vittorio shared an elaborate theory, which has a stunning 28k bookmarks and I’d recommend reading it in full. Below Vittorio explains potential CIA involvement:
What’s the point?
Aside from the Pelosi insider training angle, there are numerous reasons that the Deep State would want to invest in a false flag event.
For one, we can circle back to the gun control narrative which is on par with Deep State interest in phasing out the 2nd Amendment.
This incident can also set the foundation to call for increased surveillance by Big Brother.
As we’ve seen, this event has stoked class warfare among the left who have largely rallied in support of the assassination and even called for more:
Vittorio expands on this theory (edited for grammar):
Why this psyop now? Because right vs left was collapsing: Trump united Silicon Valley Libertarians, Populists, unions, and VC bros, woke politics were dying, and no one cared about identity battles anymore. Deep state needed a new cultural fracture to maintain control.
Solution: a class war. Kill a ceo, blame a relatable radical, watch the chaos unfold.
Left: ‘Luigi is a hero fighting corporate greed!’
Right: ‘He’s a manosphere nutjob demonizing capitalism!’
The coalition fractures—rich vs poor takes center stage.
Deeper goal: scare silicon valley VC into compliance (don’t back anti-establishment movements), pit labor unions and working-class populists against tech elites, and distract from actual healthcare corruption with calls for more surveillance.”
Notably, class warfare is a fixture of Marxist ideology that purports Capitalism cannot stand because lower-class citizens will ultimately revolt against the elites.
There’s no question a class war would benefit the Deep State-controlled Democrats in their fight to seize total control of the United States.
Mangione speaks out
On Tuesday, December 10, the day following his arrest, Mangione was taped yelling a cryptic message to reporters while being escorted by police into court.
“It is completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people, it’s a lived experience!” he cries, presumably about the healthcare system, as he’s pushed by police into the courthouse.
Psyops abound
So far Mangione’s lawyer is maintaining his client’s innocence.
“Listen, I haven’t seen any evidence that says he is the shooter,” the attorney said to reporters Tuesday. “Remember the fundamental concept of American justice is the presumption of innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and I’ve seen zero evidence at this point.”
What do you think?
Is Luigi Mangione a work of powerful figures with a greater agenda or a fed-up young man inciting revolution?
