The funniest thing about the whole thing to me is that we have had privacy taken away or even voluntarily given it up to the police state in the name of security and then this guy randomly walks up and offs a member of the 1% and the only reason he got caught was because the feds got lucky.

Even if he is, it doesn't have anything to do with my point.

With programmers, hackers, computer scientists, systems designers/engineers carrying some of the most privileged skillsets needed for designing and implementing replacements to systems of oppression (and disruptions to said systems), I've been wondering where the ones working to do this can be found. I learned in Computer Ethics 101 about how the history of the development of radiological machines led to the realizat…

Might be fake, but looks like he may have had a dead man's switch upload a YouTube video: https://youtu.be/bdhs9g3Wwg0

Apparently his other social media doesn't link to this YT account. Also there's an active "live premiere" which I don't think you can automate. random comment on said live premiere: > the account is fake. the video wouldve been made public instantly. there would be no premire time. you can change your youtube handle. this account isnt linked to his x account

I would guess you could automate premiers, since they're used by large companies and such, but maybe not?

Probably is fake, can someone decode the binary in the thumbnail? I can't ATM.

The video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCvKPBebNTk) was taken down 33 minutes before it was set to premiere, and now the account (https://www.youtube.com/@PepMangione) is deleted. The thumbnail had "The Truth will set me free" written in binary. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/ovODSvx.png

Putting on my tinfoil hat for this: It sounds like parallel construction to me. I wonder if the FBI doesn't want it to get out what kind of technology the US government can use to track citizens in real time. Something like 24/7 facial recognition running in major chains like McDonalds.

The police showing up for a random tip in the boonies in PA fast enough to actually catch the guy at McDonalds and he just happens to have method and motive on him 5 days later seems too convenient. I think they ultimately got the right guy, but I don't think the 'tip' was a phone call from a McDonald's employee.

YouTube account was terminated at 4:11PM MST, I was watching it live as it switched to this message:

“This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated.”
