The Murder of United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson

[Moemers]

Posted by SilentFeathers (here)
Many are not talking about Thompson being investigated by the corrupt DOJ for insider trader and fraud.

He likely pissed some people off for the DOJ to be putting their boot on his neck. Perhaps he knew secret things that made some deep state power brokers nervous?

The current narrative wants every one to look at disgruntled employees or angry insurance policy recipients who were ripped off, when perhaps we should be looking in another direction.

agreed, but again, we see a pattern with certain shooters, especially the ones we're talking about.

this shooter matches 0% of those patterns so far. No self-inflicted gunshot wound, no immediate availability of LEO to gun him down without a second thought and cremate the body with no toxicology, no crazed spraying with a big rifle, no manifesto aside from three words on shells. if you've seen the video you'll see something 180 degrees from the usual. This dude is not whacked and crazy eyed. They ALWAYS have the suspect at or near the scene and they have absolutely nothing on this guy.

If you can show me similarities that I'm overlooking or dismissing to fill a marxist woke agenda, please point them out.

why would Billionaires want to destabilize "the west and our way of life?"

What an excellent question!

Because they're largely globalists

So are the CEOs and board members.

Not necessarily.

Billionaires are completely different animals than millionaires..and hierarchically occupy an entirely different space in the grand scheme of things.

Brian Thompson made a little over $10 million a year. That's small beer compared to the people I'm talking about.

I know a couple millionaires. They're not uncommon, and most are not globalists. The same cannot be said of billionaires.

Mike, we are in danger of going down a rabbit hole here because, as we both know, there are millionaires and there are are millionaires.

There are the corporate Brian Thompson millionaires of this world, making billions of dollars of profit for their shareholders (Blackrock et al), which begs the question, why kill (by proxy) someone who is making you piles of wonga?.....and there are the self-made millionaires with their own successful businesses.

I'd be the first to accept that the latter may well be anti-globalist and I suspect your couple of rich acquaintances fall into that category.

But, and it is a big but, we are talking about the first category aren't we?

Brian Thompson and the board of United Health were doing a pretty good job of destabilising the Western way of life, wouldn't you say?

I don't think we know enough about Brian Thompson to say much of anything about him at the moment. He might have been a warm and wonderful man. We know he was a family man. He was obviously an educated and intelligent man, and likely worked very hard to achieve his position of CEO. It's not obvious to me at all that the online reaction has anything to do with the plight of the downtrodden/dispossessed; to me it reeks of envy, bitterness, and resentment towards a man who has been stripped of his humanity, even in death, and merely exists as a symbol of everything they were unwilling or unable to achieve and acquire.

I don't expect you'll overtly endorse the assassination, but attitudinally you appear quite okay with this atrocity. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I haven't read closely enough, and maybe I've missed the part where you expressed sympathy for his wife and kids. But I haven't seen it.

As far as the billionaire controllers of this world are concerned, he's easily replaceable. I don't think they'd even blink before green lighting a murder like this if they felt it was necessary.

Honestly I don't think about it much but I'll tell you my opinion. First, regarding the murder, it's a shame. Shooting a man in the back is a bitch move. On top of that he's a father so now two kids don't see dad ever again. Holidays and his birthdays will be painful reminders for his wife and kids. On top of it if they check the internet they'll see all these cookie cutter, cold hearted, loser, repeater, drooling at the mouth jerks on the internet making jokes about it. Wonderful people. $20 says most of these jokes will be coming from the tolerant left, the same folks who made the same jokes about Trumps failed assassination attempts.

When it comes to social media it's not a surprise. I don't use social media and this is one of the reasons, it gives losers loud voices. I did have a reddit account a few years ago but I stopped going there because it's full of losers. Literally. It has incels in it. For those who don't know, 'incels' are people who are 'involuntarily celibate.' They're obsessed with sex and they can't get laid. They know they're losers and they admit it. As a result of this they have a weird way of fighting back against society and berating beautiful women.

Reddit is also pretty far left. Don't take my word this, check for yourselves. Just about every page has an LGBT flag as a top banner, even topics that have nothing to do with sexuality. Reddit sees everything through the political lens. It's tiring. You can't frequent places such as this, it's a bad influence. It doesn't matter who you are, it'll eventually rub off on you, hence why I left.

So when you bring up Reddit deifying this person I'm not surprised. That's the type of people they are.

In this world there is the 1 true grand scheme of everything. I try hard to stay in tune with this. Most people don't, especially those deep in the trenches of social media. The world loves people like Jack Doherty and Kim Kardashian, or that Hawk Tuah girl (she became popular solely because she bragged/joked about giving oral sex). Only Fans girls (and guys) get tons of money to take their close off. I live in the real world, they live in the human constructed world of slavery to ones senses. Some think it's slavery to money but that's not accurate, it's the senses. They rent happiness with cash, but don't get it twisted, they're addicted or just straight up slaves.

So they make jokes about that guy getting shot and killed. They get upvotes and that e-popularity makes them feel good. **** that dude and his kids right? In this world people will 'other' people at the drop of the hat. I think it's somewhat natural, I probably do it myself sometimes but I try not to. This kinda brings me full circle of why I don't wanna be involved with social media, reddit, all that. I don't wanna be like those out of touch, cold hearted people.

Re’ incels, there but for the grace of god….

From the way you reference them I’m assuming you’re not, so for the sake of argument let’s imagine your love dies through lack of healthcare she paid for because of new corporate protocols implemented by someone like Brian Thompson……

It’s easy to deride, Strat, but as I said before, there but for the grace of god…..

1 You obviously aren't aware of my personal struggles with this which I've lamented about over years here on avalon and 2 I've never thought, nor would I ever think to murder someone over this. It takes a cold hearted son of a bitch to shoot a man in the back. You shouldn't let anger rule your soul, it's hard but it's extremely important to take charge over your emotions. Don't let them rule you, don't be a slave to your senses. So when you say what if it happened to me, please. Save it. This isn't new to me.

Easy to deride? Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?

Personally I never even thought to compare this shooter to other recent shooters, as I also see this not being in the regular pattern so to speak.

This shooting seems to have nothing to do with political, racial, or crazed marxist woke stuff in my opinion.

It seems either personal, murder for hire, or another type of odd motive. I do think it's quite different to what we've been "normally" seeing. Time will tell.

[Moemers]

are you the VP of United healthcare or something? I'm going to refrain from calling you a bootlicker because we don't actually know the reason for this execution and I'm not entirely sure that you've read the extent of UHC's AI denial rate, and what that caused and what that ended up meaning for people who are FORCED BY LAW UNDER PENALTY OF TAXATION to hold health insurance and then have 1/3 of their claims denied by an Artificial Intelligence with a 90% error rate. If you can't see anything reflecting the plight of the downtrodden/dispossessed in that, then I question your total reading of the situation and my estimation of boot-licking ticks up a couple percentage points.

many of them might have been warm and wonderful people who likely worked hard and yet probably died and I bet none of them had the dignity of being shot from the front either.

Kind of you. In the spirit of reciprocation I'll refrain from calling you an a$$hole.

What I was saying re downtrodden and dispossessed was this: It's not obvious to me that the X crowd and online crowd in general are arguing for them. They're a mob, spewing some truth but also alot of nonsense. When I see an angry mob aiming their anger up at a rich guy, I don't automatically assume their best intentions. It's naive to do that.

Of course I know that health insurance companies are first and foremost concerned with themselves, and this often involves screwing people over. But a health insurance company wasn't executed in cold blood on the street, one man was. Thompson was the CEO, yes, but still just one cog in a much larger machine. Regardless of his hypothetical misdeeds, he didn't deserve to get executed. What he is or isn't individually responsible for is nearly impossible to say at this point, yet yourself and a significant crowd of online talking heads seem quite content with playing judge/jury and executioner. I find it disturbing.

And you may be totally correct. I hope you are! I'd like to be wrong here.

I'm speculating here of course. If it was just the words scribbled on the casings, I'd be more inclined to say it was a personal issue. But when I heard about the Monopoly money, it seemed to veer into some kind of political statement about the evils of capitalism and so forth. How else to interpret that one?

But that statement feels, to me, kind of phony and contrived..thus my working theory (subject to change) that this is somehow a staged event meant to cause even more class division...which is a calling card of woke Marxist types.

I didn't hear about the Monopoly money twist in this event, it just keeps getting more twisted! I wonder if it's even true or just a spun chunk of confusion thrown into the mix.

This does make it sound more like a political statement.

• The public execution of an innocent man and father of two is indefensible, not 'inevitable.
• Condoning and cheering this murder on says more about you than the situation of health insurance
• Condoning murder for any reason begins to erode acceptable human norms and desensitized society to violence.
• Condoning murder for any reason is the start of normalizing violence as an acceptable tool to resolve differences.
• There is a strong intentional effort to drain society of compassion and empathy, and at the same make violent behavior more acceptable. This is not an American problem it is a global problem. The prevailing wisdom of those in power is that problems of this magnitude require global solutions. So many people around the world can't move beyond their emotions to understand what is happening.

The innocent man label is a bit of a stretch isn't it?

Given the consequences of United's policy with him at the helm, many more have died than at the hands of your average death-rower.

I suspect this isn't so much "the start of normalizing violence as an acceptable tool to resolve differences" as it was a last resort for somebody.

But yeah, as I said, before, not knowing the full story, there but for the grace of god go I.

When I read your post this is what travels through my mind.

I don't have the full story but I am going to assign him guilt by virtue of his job. He is responsible for denying claims and killing people. Based on that I feel no remorse and I do not feel any empathy for him or his family.

How far are you and many others willing to take this unhinged emotional way of thinking?

Should Biden meet the same fate for opening the border where 17 people die each week attempting to cross?

Should Fauci be murdered for the thousands of deaths that he caused during the pandemic?

When a stressed unemployed, widowed mother of four is at the grocery store and realizes she does not have enough to pay due to inflation does this give her the right to murder the grocer because this store was her "last resort."

Your posts tell me that you have already started to desensitize yourselves to violence when you assign enough guilt to an individual.

If you're cheering on the execution of Brian Thompson, you're going after the low fruit and calling it a score. Call it the lazy man's justice.

Nobody is saying Brian Thompson was a boy scout; he's just NOT the subject of a bullet. IMO. Nor should he be.

Brian Thompson has nothing to do with the injustices that would drive a vigilante to murder.

I'm all for justice. But you gotta dig deeper than going after the family man with two kids who scored 1495 on his SAT and worked his way to the top to feed his family to run a (very corrupted) company...

If you want real justice, look deeper.

The CEO of United Health Group Andrew Witty speaks to employees about the death. At 0:52 he said, "Brian endlessly put patients interests first." He should have said shareholders first.

Parent organizations of United Health Care is United HealthCare Service LLC & PacifiCare Health Systems.

the pearl clutching going on here is pretty interesting...

to be fair, I never said he should be murdered. I don't think anyone should be murdered. But people often are, and sometimes it's just not that tragic. Sometimes you can understand what drove someone to kill someone else.

should someone kill Fauci and Biden and Trump etc etc? No. They shouldn't. Would you understand if someone did though?

I suspect this isn't so much "the start of normalizing violence as an acceptable tool to resolve differences" as it was a last resort for somebody.

But yeah, as I said, before, not knowing the full story, there but for the grace of god go I.

If you're cheering on the execution of Brian Thompson, you're going after the low fruit and calling it a score. Call it the lazy man's justice.

Nobody is saying Brian Thompson was a boy scout; he's just NOT the subject of a bullet. IMO. Nor should he be.

Brian Thompson has NOTHING to do with the injustices that would drive a vigilante to murder. I promise.

I'm all for justice. But you gotta dig deeper than going after the family man with two kids who scored 1495 on his SAT and worked his way to the top to feed his family to run a (very corrupted) company...

If you want real justice, look deeper.

Re-read the posts. Many are saying he was a "boy scout" including you given your S.A.T comment.

For all those who think I'm crazy, perhaps watch or rewatch (if you've forgotten) Mark Passio's following seminar.

If, after that, you think he is crazy too, fair enough.
