The mainstream media is shocked, shocked, to discover that Americans are massively unsympathetic to the corpocratic elite:
The brutal assassination of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson has triggered a wave of morbid criticism about the state of America’s health insurance companies – and cynical support for the attacker framed as a ‘man of the people’.
Mr Thompson, a 50-year-old father-of-two, was shot outside the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan on Wednesday morning by a masked assassin, whose motive remains unclear as he continues to evade police. Authorities found three live bullets and three spent casings at the scene, which they said had the words ‘depose’, ‘deny’ and ‘defend’ scrawled on them. This drew comparison to the similarly titled 2010 book ‘Delay, Deny, Defend’ – a scathing criticism of ‘why insurance companies don’t pay out and what you can do about it’ – and sparked wide speculation online.
As news of the cold-blooded killing spread, medical professionals took to social media to criticize the insurer’s alleged denial of coverage to dying Americans.
The moderators of the r/medicine forum had to close a Reddit thread after news of Mr Thompson’s death collected more than 500 replies, often critical of UnitedHealthcare. The top comment, from a nurse, was a lengthy parody of a template response denying pay-out for the victim.
‘We understand that you were actively “bleeding out,” but this does not exempt you from exploring lower-cost care pathways,’ the post coldly jibed.
UnitedHealthcare, the biggest health insurer by market share in America, was rocked by protests over the alleged systematic denial of pay-outs to patients earlier this year. An unlikely following of swooning commentators online soon followed, with the pictured suspect drawing comparisons to A-List celebrities including Timothée Chalamet and Jake Gyllenhaal for his ‘gorgeous’ good looks.
However, don’t get too excited. This almost certainly wasn’t an act of revenge, but rather, something more akin to the non-suicide of Jeffrey Epstein. It was much more likely just another case of Clown World silencing, or as Miles Mathis would have it, vanishing, one of its own for some esoteric reason related to enforced non-disclosure. And is it not an anomaly that the murder was a statistically-improbable one in which the victim was a Fortune 500 CEO who was not resident in New York City and in which the crime could not be categorized as anti-semitic?
It’s probably just more Narrative theater performed by the clowns for our edification.
