TMZ's sources claim Luigi Mangione mentioned 2 books more than once during their days in Thailand together.

The Secret Assassin by Joseph Conrad and Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins.

"The former is a well-known classic in English literature, focused on a character who commits a bombing to convince the British government to quash Anarchist leanings before he himself is fatally stabbed."

"The latter book is a semi-autobiographical book published by Perkins about his time working for the engineering consulting firm Chas. T. Main, which claims he went to underdeveloped countries with loans to build infrastructure, which helped essentially trap those who took the loans into a system of American control."

Michael Moore, mentioned in Luigi Mangione's alleged "manifesto" and the director of Bowling for Columbine and Sicko, has written his own "manifesto" in response to people asking for comment — x

"It’s not often that my work gets a killer five-star review from an actual killer."

"After the killing of the CEO of United HealthCare [...] there was an immediate OUTPOURING of anger toward the health insurance industry. Some people have stepped forward to condemn this anger.  I am not one of them.  The anger is 1000% justified. It is long overdue for the media to cover it. It is not new. It has been boiling. And I’m not going to tamp it down or ask people to shut up. I want to pour gasoline on that anger. 

"[...] now the press is calling me to ask, “Why are people angry, Mike? Do you condemn murder, Mike?”  Yes, I condemn murder, and that’s why I condemn America’s broken, vile, rapacious, bloodthirsty, unethical, immoral health care industry and I condemn every one of the CEOs who are in charge of it and I condemn every politician who takes their money and keeps this system going instead of tearing it up, ripping it apart, and throwing it all away. We need to replace this system with something sane, something caring and loving — something that keeps people alive."

Luigi Mangione, 26, was reported missing to San Francisco on November 18, 2024, by his mother, who last spoke to him on July 1st, 2024. Luigi's friends and family had been unable to reach him for about six months, and nobody knew where he was. Luigi's mother, Kathleen Mangione, believed he was in San Francisco. Weeks later, after the December 4th killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, San Francisco police noticed a resemblance between Luigi’s missing person photo and the surveillance images of the suspected killer. They tipped off the FBI, though their information was just one of hundreds being investigated.

On Sunday, December 8th, San Francisco police contacted Luigi’s mother, who confirmed that the surveillance images resembled her son. The next day, Luigi was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after being recognized at a McDonald's. Luigi, currently jailed in Pennsylvania, is contesting extradition to New York and plans to plead not guilty. His family expressed shock and devastation, extending prayers to Thompson’s family.

This is a personal post. Probably the only time I'm going to post something like this here.

Luigi Mangione and the reality of living with Vulvodynia/Vaginismus (and Autism)

A text I wrote in a group for women and non-binary people with autism/asperger that I wanted to share here too.

Hey, how does everyone feel about what's going on in the US around Luigi Mangione? I think it is partly relevant to talk about since Luigi has a physical disability and probably some type of ND, I presume PTSD from his situation, but other diagnoses cannot be ruled out of course.

However, my point is not to speculate about someone's psychology and potential diagnoses, I want to talk about vulvodynia.

For those who don't know, Luigi Mangione is suspected of killing United Healthcare's CEO Brian Thompson (insurance company). The murder of the boss has been met with, among other things, tributes to Luigi and apathy towards the boss, because the insurance companies are denying people their money and people feel that the companies are indirectly guilty of murder and of knowingly giving their clients disabilities and continued illness for economic gain.

But most importantly: This has started a discussion about American healthcare and a lot of stuff that otherwise doesn't have much light.

Such as:

How culpable are corporations for the harm they indirectly do, and whether it's a problem that real people within these corporations never go to jail when the corporations commit crimes, whether it's that they eliminated sexual harassment, poisoned hundreds with chemicals, or committed felony to another's death.

Physical impairments and their impact on people's sex lives. How awful it feels to feel like you can't give enough in a relationship.

How crappy back surgeries are and how in the majority of cases they only make patients worse

I am writing here because I feel very emotionally confused and all over the place. I definitely have a new hyper-fixation on this situation and on Luigi Mangione which is not surprising. It matches my special interests (psychology, sexuality, politics).

But what has left me most stunned is the statement one of Luigi's friends made about his disability.

"He knew that dating and being physically intimate with his back condition wasn't possible"

I struggle with and am diagnosed with vulvodynia. Vulvodynia is chronic otherwise unexplained pain in the vagina or/and external genitalia when primarily touched that has lasted for at least 3 months. The reason for it is that the body has become afraid and experienced traumatic damage, pain, dryness one or more times, which means that the body is always in alert mode. The reason is often rape and sexual abuse, but it doesn't have to be. "Chronic" yeast infection and using vaginal medicine incorrectly can cause it because of how it can make you dry and fuck with the PH values, for example.

I have always suspected that vulvodynia affects us with autism, adhd and audhd more often and more intensely as we are sensitive to stimulation, and those with autism are also more sensitive to getting PTSD and anxiety, and we more often have Alexithymia which I think can make it more difficult for us to communicate what we want and feel during sex. I don't think there are studies yet, but one of my doctors has been working with this for a long time and says that audhd in her patients is common.

I have had vaginal pain for as long as I can remember. I am not sure which pain created my problems and which pain is the problem. I don't know where the pain begins and the vulvodynia ends.

I can't have a relationship because I'm afraid I'll feel pressured to do more than my body can handle, I feel a lot of pressure to please within myself so I need someone who will really understand. I am afraid of making my physical disability worse or even more permanent. 80% recover completely. I have one of the worse forms that make me feel pain from wearing different clothes, sitting, going to the toilet.

(Not everyone has these symptoms, SEEK HELP AS SOON AS THE PAIN AFFECTS YOUR LIFE NEGATIVELY, I waited until I had toilet problems and couldn't have anal sex either because I thought the pain was normal before that, that I was just sensitive to friction. It's the worst decision I've ever made in my life)

I also experience vaginal cramping in my vaginal opening and pain right away when I get aroused which is the part that causes most of the crying outbursts when one's hope starts to fade and one just wants to disappear along with one's pain. I wonder if Luigi was suicidal or just felt like not existing sometimes...

The cramping has it's own name, Vaginismus, and usually the cramping happens when touched, but with me it also happens when my body parts like the pelvic floor move or by reflex when aroused.

A few people are mocking and calling Luigi an incel for that quote that isn't even his own but retold by a friend and it's making me so fucking angry. The friends quote doesn't indicate that anywhere and I feel sad because it shows such a lack of understanding for the good reasons why someone could be upset about their sex life. And I still haven't gotten over the shock and relief I felt when I read about Luigi and a naive me realized that cis men can sit in their bed, cry and feel exactly the same as me.

But yeah everything feels emotionally messy. I'm also so worried that the murder and the discussions won't change a damn thing and they'll kind of laugh at the people and send Luigi to the electric chair as an example to torture both him and the people. (They can't NY is a non death penalty state thankfully)

Feel free to tell your own stories or just venting about what's going on or say hi ❤️ I don't mind people showing sympathy for my physical disability but be mindful. I'm neither fully strong or fully a victim, I'm just living.

I also don't mind this being shared on other platforms but I DO NOT WANT MY NAME/USERNAME ATTACHED TO IT. I don't want my safe space invaded. I might post it elsewhere myself but we'll see.

Luigi Mangione's Manifesto

Shared by Ken Klippenstein on twt/X. Please keep in mind that the other Substack Manifesto is most likely fake and should be treated as such until other proof comes out.

"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 allowed 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."
