Dead Reckoning

This is a story that everyone on Hive should be paying very close attention to, and yet in my feed and the trending tab I see nothing. To be fair there is quite a lot of distraction going on right now as we head into 2025 but that's really no excuse. Shit is going down and we need to take heed.

The assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is nothing short of a revolutionary act. Like... literal revolution; as in a revolt against the system itself. We've never seen anything like this in that the responses to this calculated murder were nothing short callous and arguably jovial. Everyone seemed to immediately assume that Thompson deserved what he got and that there was a very good reason for this happening. This is easy to corroborate when coming to the realization that UnitedHealthcare is a bit infamous for denying insurance claims, which can often lead to the financial ruin or even death of their own clients.

Here are just slivers of the memes I've been seeing:

Steal his look:

OMG he violated the Starbucks boycott (satire):

Flag of the elite:

Reaper approves:

Hm so yeah that happened.

Assassination has apparently gone mainstream I guess. Started with Trump and has now extended itself to other powerful people who make a living fucking people over. And what better industry to go after than healthcare? It's the one thing everyone needs after food, water, and shelter, and we have been getting fleeced for decades. Apparently the world has had enough.

Clown World is the strongest it's ever been.

Society itself continues to breakdown and a premeditated attack against the elite like this one is just a small hint of all the crazy shit 2025 has in store for us. In case you haven't noticed every year that goes by just gets more insane starting with COVID 2020. These situations will continue to escalate.

Sending a message

Information has leaked (much to the cops chagrin) that the bullets were "engraved" (written in sharpie) with the words "Deny", "Defend", and "Depose". Many are assuming this is a reference to the book Delay Deny Defend: Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims And What You Can Do About It. Well, what can we do about insurance companies denying legitimate claims that literally end in death and destitution? The assassin sends a message to the world: "Hey, we can actually just kill them, they are right here walking among us."

If I'm being honest I'm surprised something like this hasn't happened sooner. This is a sign of the times; the endgame of the empire. The system is collapsing, and breaking points are being tested. The elite have always decided that it should be the plebs who suffer when the systems they've created fail. Something tells me that's not going to fly this time around.

Someone will go down for this.

Before the shooter's face was broadcasted I was positive someone would be charged and convicted of this crime whether they did it or not. This is a high stakes situation where someone needs to be made an example of. The killer getting away with it... that's not really an option, as this would lead to more elites getting gunned down in the streets. The picture of the guy's face poses a unique problem in that with all the weird evidence in play it would be very hard to convict someone that didn't do it... and maybe that's the entire point.

The evidence so far:

The Killer/Terrorist/Freedom-Fighter in this case used a very unique weapon. A BOLT-ACTION silenced 9 millimeter. Many who saw the video of the assault assumed the gun was jamming and that he was clearing it after every shot. Turns out this gun essentially won't jam because bolt-actions are specifically designed to be incredibly reliable (but slow). This person made damn sure he was going to get his message across and left very little up to chance.

Armchair experts on Xitter try to claim this is a paid hit, even though it obviously isn't. This was a sloppy but pretty well planned out execution. It was very very public. And there were multiple witnesses, one of which can be seen on the video prancing away as she makes sure not to spill her coffee. Simulation confirmed.

We can see here that the shooter dipped into an alley and then backtracked to catch an electric bike: escaping into Central Park. Potentially months of planning went into this hit, with the anti-hero himself checking into a hostel on November 24th after a 20 hour Greyhound bus ride from Atlanta. Ironically enough the less we know about the situation the more we can assume that the plan worked and was highly intricate.

And also who goes into Starbucks to buy snacks and flirts with staff and showing their face when they are hours away from taking someone's life? That's just wild to me. It's so amateur it's hard to believe it wasn't on purpose. Of course all of the information we're being fed about this story comes from MSM and the cops, so that's a whole other can of worms. Those are not trustworthy sources of data.

Conclusion

This is what happens when the most powerful can walk among us in public while committing heinous immoral atrocities on a daily basis without any consequences. There comes a certain breaking point in which vigilante justice becomes the only recourse. Was the action justified? Well, it never is or can be. The same is also true about the catalysts that foment this type of environment in the first place.

Lending Tree shows UnitedHealthcare has some of the highest claim denial rates of any US insurance company -- a jarring 32% compared to 17% for Blue Cross Blue Shield.
