i haven't slept

> be luigi nicholas mangione
> born 1998, maryland
> family is loaded—grandfather built golf resorts and luxury clubs
> grows up in towson, goes to elite private school (gilman)
> $40k/year tuition but worth every penny—valedictorian 2016
> classmates describe him as “inventive, courageous, charming”
> ivy league material, gets into upenn
> studies computer science and math, minors in philosophy (red flag?)
> co-founds a game dev club, works on ai competitions (halite iii)
> perfect chad: handsome, athletic, ambitious
> graduates in 2020 with a bs/ms combo—dream life unlocked
> lands data engineer job at truecar, moves to san francisco

> 2021: cracks start forming
> gets into surfing accident while on vacation in hawaii
> chronic low back pain (clbp) becomes his entire personality
> can’t work out, can’t sit, can’t live like a normal chad anymore
> goes through the healthcare system hellscape—insurance denies surgery
> spends on specialists, treatments fail, pain keeps getting worse
> resentment grows, starts ranting about “parasite healthcare execs”

> gets weirdly into niche books:
>> “crooked: outwitting the back pain industry”
>> “back mechanic” by stuart mcgill
>> ted kaczynski’s *industrial society and its future* (4 stars on goodreads)
> posts online about banning porn (“toxic masculinity is under attack”)
> follows erowid, explores psychedelics for “self-healing”
> tweets get spicier, but no one pays much attention

> 2022: goes on an ayahuasca retreat
> desperate for relief, looking for answers beyond medicine
> claims he “saw God” during the trip but also fought off shadowy entities
>> describes these as “6D demons” trying to implant ideas into his mind
>> later tweets cryptic things like:
>>> “not all pain is physical”
>>> “they feed on fear, but you can push them back if you see their shape”
>>> “healthcare is only a part of the cage”
> friends think he’s having a spiritual awakening, but vibe gets darker
> deletes most of his old tweets, only posts sporadically after this
> by 2023, he’s fully withdrawn, but *something about him seems different*
>> doesn’t talk about the demons anymore, like the memory was scrubbed

> 2023: leaves truecar, moves to hawaii permanently
> broke, depressed, living off savings, spiraling quietly
> becomes a ghost online—posts less, deletes a lot of old tweets
> but what’s left feels curated, too on-brand (weird foreshadowing?)

> december 4, 2024: unitedhealthcare ceo brian thompson assassinated
> shot outside hilton midtown hotel in broad daylight
> december 9: luigi arrested at mcdonald’s in altoona, pennsylvania
> found with:
>> 3d-printed ghost gun (zero serial numbers, spooky tech vibes)
>> silencer
>> fake ids (plural, why?)
>> handwritten manifesto blaming healthcare execs for “killing americans”

---

> here’s where it gets *weird*

> the manifesto:
>> calls ceos “parasites” and “powerful abusers”
>> apologizes for “any trauma caused” but says “this had to happen”
>> specifically names unitedhealthcare as the enemy of the people
> but... it reads like something out of a hollywood movie:
>> too polished, too coherent for a supposed back-pain-ridden maniac
>> no spelling errors, perfect grammar, emotional yet calculated—sus

> timeline doesn’t add up:
>> luigi’s last known address was in hawaii. how does he suddenly turn up in nyc?
>> uses a fake id to check into a hostel near the crime scene—how convenient
>> goes *from hawaii to nyc to pennsylvania* in a matter of days
>> gets caught at a mcdonald’s after a nationwide manhunt. really?

> ghost gun raises red flags:
>> why would a guy like luigi—ivy grad, tech-savvy, spotless record—print a gun?
>> ghost guns are perfect deep state props: untraceable, terrifying, buzzword-worthy
>> feels like a setup to push the “diy domestic terrorism” narrative

> his social media suddenly blows up:
>> goodreads reviews of ted kaczynski go viral after the arrest
>> tweets about healthcare and porn resurface, painting him as a “radicalized genius”
>> but the timing feels off—like it was *meant* to create this image

> friends and family shocked:
>> “he was a good kid,” “never showed signs of violence,” “always so bright”
>> doesn’t fit the profile of a guy who’d snap and assassinate a ceo

---

> it’s a psyop

> luigi is the perfect recruit:
>> ivy league pedigree = media catnip, relatable to both elites and normies
>> chronic pain = universal sympathy, emotional hook for the masses
>> anti-healthcare sentiment = taps into leftist rage against capitalism
>> manosphere vibes = taints the right with “toxic masculinity” optics
>> erowid + psychedelics = mkultra callback, easy to manipulate mindset

> the 6D demon fight was part of the setup:
>> ayahuasca trip wasn’t self-healing—it was an astral battleground
>> cia or another deep-state group planted the entities to “break” his spiritual defenses
>> they didn’t just want to brainwash him—they wanted to hollow him out completely
>> the fight left cracks in his psyche, making him easier to manipulate afterward
>> his cryptic tweets (“they feed on fear”) were cries for help before they fully got to him

> by the time of the ceo murder, he’s fully under their control.
>> either the demons broke him, or the deep state leveraged the battle to finalize his reprogramming

> the actual hit? not luigi’s doing:
>> cia or mossad carried out the assassination (silencer screams pro job)
>> luigi’s memories implanted to make him the fall guy
>> ghost gun planted as evidence to tie him to the crime

---

> 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
>> distract from actual healthcare corruption with calls for more surveillance

---

> but the cracks are obvious:
>> manifesto reads like a marketing pitch for a class war—too perfect
>> how does a supposed radical assassin *not* have an escape plan?
>> ghost gun is too convenient—like it was meant to terrify normies
>> social media timeline feels curated—where’s the raw, messy history?

---

> the psyop isn’t just about luigi
> it’s about sending a message:
>> “we control the narrative, and we can turn anyone into a villain or a hero”
>> “don’t question the system, or this could be you”

---

> luigi didn’t kill brian thompson
> the deep state did

> 3/10 psyop—lazy execution, but it’s working

> don’t fall for it, anon
