Okay, we already know the spooks are already monitoring everyone. We’ve known this for a long time. They don’t have to come up with an excuse to try and tell us.
Oh, I know I am firmly on that list. Brian Thompson got what he deserved. It’s a shame it hasn’t happened to more of them.
Okay? Thats only what, most of the US population?
Oh, so this is the new scare! There’s already been the Lavender Scare, the Red Scare, the Satanic Panic etc.
This scare will be called the Health Scare. Any other suggestions?
I referred to Luigi during a call with my SSDI attorney earlier today. I was shocked that she didn’t immediately get the reference.
They turned down my application despite their own doctors saying I was disabled.
So 99% of US people? What’s different than before?
New metadata tag added to each individual’s archive. We already know thanks to Snowden that they’ve been collecting EVERYTHING and using it to effectively go back in time and retroactively monitor anyone they want.
I remember when this would just get you called a crazy conspiracy theorist. Then when it turned out to be true, nobody said anything.
I‘m guessing for now all this data is functionally useless since there is too much of it and you can‘t really differentiate between shit poster and actual threat.
What I wonder though, if eventually some AI could predict future behaviour, like say they fed it digital footprints of those that go ahead and do something, could it spot those similar?
Well, I hope I‘ll be dead by then cause I don‘t want to see the future police states at work, it‘s bad enough as it is.
Oh no that information is readily available, indexed, ready to be brought up at a moments notice as soon as they have someone new on the radar. They can crunch through that data very quickly to generate a threat assessment on a new person. For the government, the difference between trolling and real threat don’t matter, they treat them the same until you are about to do something. If you’ve ever made a joking threat about a politician on the internet, there’s a file open on you, it just may not have your name on it yet.
It’s not about predicting, it’s meant to be retroactive once they have a person in mind. That’s what makes the data collection technically legal according to the courts, since no specific individual is being targeted by the mass data collection, no warrant is necessary. They can gobble it all up now, and sift through it later.
It’s to slowly prepare you for the oligarchy. War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength
I would be extremely concerned about anybody with positive views of health insurance, only slightly less so if they were directly enriching themselves off of it.
They were tracking everybody before too right? Because terrorism or something? Fuck off feds.
I have negative views of health insurance companies
Stop it, Patrick, you’re scaring him!
It’s afraid.jpeg
Most every health professional does, as well.
Saint Luigi of Baltimore, forgive us our debts. Deliver us from the greed of the Wicked. Protect us in sickness and in health. Lead us from the labyrinth of insurance denials. Bring Justice to the Merchants of Death.
Snowdon was right, they’re watching every single hominid.

If you reach the end of your days, and you haven’t ever been on at least one watch list…Can you really even say you have ever lived at all?
I bet a bootlicker would take pride in such outcomes…
Daddy’s lil bitch did nothing wrong and daddy obviously rewarded him for being a class traitor
It would seem they have a conflict of interest. Choosing life or death for someone where not providing care would be less costly. Morality = \ = legality.
It would seem to make sense to allow the doctors to be advocates for their patients, but I get that oversight is needed too. It’s not an easy situation to solve. There are clearly glaring issues in the current system.
In case it’s unclear murder is wrong if done by 1 person or a collective entity through an indirect series of actions.
E: fixed formatting = / = Without spaces changes to equal and not ‘not equal’
Working in healthcare and ngl for physicians it’s never a “am I doing too much to treat this patient” question when it comes to arguing for basic things from insurance. One common strategy is dragging out the excessive but cheaper diagnostic and “alternatives” to avoid paying for surgeries that are necessary. That then appeal forms have to be done makes the process even worse. Insurance companies are committing a legalized bureaucratic murder of individuals through the abuse of being more or less given carte blanche by the political body to do whatever the Hell they want. I’ve seen denial of chemo for individuals in their 20s and others dying young because they do not have the proper coverage for cancer workups (lots of colorectal malignancies that get ignored into a person’s 30s that end up metastic).
So anyway
There are doctors and organizations who scam the insurance, and this is used for justifying these systems being in place; however in the for-profit world especially these are increasingly used as a tool for profit rather than loss protections.
fun fact: insurance companies allow that to happen because its cheaper than preventing it and hilariously why there is less fraud via medicare/medicaid.
so next time you hear that non-sense for an excuse know that it is false and entirely of their own making.
Agreed, and that’s the hard part. Finding and promoting good and right while removing greed. Oversight is needed, but doesn’t this feel a bit like the wolf watching the sheep?
The system isn’t completely broken, but it has glaring issues. Transparency and accountability is missing. Rules for thee and me need to match with equity.
“Good”, “right”, and “fair” seem to be dying in society.
We can only be our own little light in a sea of darkness…maybe with a little luck we can make the world a little brighter.
The document is one of a flurry threat reports quietly circulated to law enforcement across the country by a sprawling network of little-known intelligence organizations created in response to 9/11. Called fusion centers, groups like the New York State Intelligence Center were tasked with fighting terrorism, which alleged the killer Luigi Mangione was charged with. Today, there is at least one fusion center in all 50 states (even Wyoming, home to the Wyoming Information Analysis Team.)
Marked “LAW ENFORCEMENT USE ONLY,” the document quoted above is, like other intelligence reports, not usually available to the public. But this record was pried loose by the open records wizardry of the transparency nonprofit Property of the People. Without them, this report would join the countless others exempt from public scrutiny. That’s a real gift to the government agencies that produce these reports, which often serve little purpose beyond inflating supposed threats into zeppelin-like proportions.
Consider, for example, the report’s boldfaced title —“Executive ‘Hit Lists’” — evoking some kind of John Wick-style serial hitman. But the evidence for this amounts to “viral posts online” that “listed the names and salaries of several health insurance executives” and some “Wanted” signs posted in Manhattan.
The Man being The Man
feds just doing busy work, online shit posters ain’t no Luigi.
And future Luigi is smart enough not to shot post about his or her sentiment on such issues.
This entire thing is a psyop to make normies to self censor. And it works.
How is this different than before? The NSA and every other three letter agency has been sweeping up domestic data and doing warrantless monitoring of U.S. citizens for as long as they’ve had the capability.
Yeah, and it needs to be called out more.
