UHC CEO Murder
Luigi = Shroom Head
DL Trade
Luigi's manifesto
LUIGI'S MANIFESTO “To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allowed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”
Optum United Healthcare medicare fraud BOTG
following all the developments of the UHC CEO assassination, public outcry on insurance scams, and Megyn Kelly's outrageous support for the insurance industrial complex (she is branding anyone bringing up the flaws and frustration with the insurance industry as leftists; and ridicules that this is not the right time to bring them up), I want to throw my 2 cents of experience with UHC and Optum.
Optum provides healthcare/state Medicare/Medicaid equivalent services to State of Indiana, where one of my family members from my wife's side work as a contractor for Optum. Optum team contains a lot of Indians, and Pakistanis who doesn't follow any rule or law in good faith.
Optum placed them to sit with State employees with no supervision; since Covid they are all working from _home;_ who know where they are. My relative sometimes works from our home, and others often work from other countries.
None from State, nor Optum does a sanity check on these employees/contractors Nor check the quality of their work. They all work on their schedules, cover each others' ass while they were doing their second or third jobs (my relative mostly sleeps thru the "work" day while billing 8 hours each day). Optum pays them less than the market prices so they overstate the project hours to bill overtime at 1.5 times regular pay (which is intern billed to State, thus taxpayers); my relative boasts that he bills 10x the actual time he spend on a task and also bills overtime almost every month. The States' IT manager is a dumb head who doesn't know what's going on, and don't care how much Optum is looting from the taxpayers purse.
With the lack of supervision, and practically easy money many of the employees/contractors are addicted to drugs, online gambling, and alcohol. One of the employee was arrested on the charges of child pornography (he was already on parole for using drugs).
All of this enrages me so much that I want to vent my frustration on this whole episode and also insurance complex.
First time in the past 13 years past July, I visited a doctors office to remove a small wart on my knee which I know isn't harmful, and it'd go away on its own if I leave it alone. The physician office, lab charged the insurance $6500 for removing the wart with a wart remover (it took them whole two minutes, I spent five minutes in the doctor's office for the whole thing), and examine the removed cyst for cancers. I had to pay $550 from my pocket. I could have easily done this for under $10 if I did this when i was in India this past summer.
Wendell Potter - Wikipedia
Potter has been called the "Daniel Ellsberg of corporate America" by Michael Moore and "a straight shooter" by Bill Moyers.[2][3] Potter is the first and only "health insurance insider" to have publicly criticized the industry's stance on the Obama health care reforms.[4] A supporter of the Affordable Care Act, Potter correctly predicted in 2010 the final version of the law would increase health insurance industry profits and argued they would find a way to "game the system."[5] He became a vocal advocate for Medicare for All in 2018, saying in September 2019 that "it's time to move to a program that makes a lot of sense economically as well as morally."[6]
Drones
New Jersey drone sightings, explained Can you shoot down drones
So, can you take a shot at a hovering drone with a firearm or other projectile? The short answer is no.
The FAA says shooting any aircraft – including drones – is illegal.
Only law enforcement authorities can take action against drones, said Ryan Calo, a University of Washington law professor and robotics law expert.
Shooting a drone is a federal crime and additional penalties vary by state.
It can also be dangerous. The unmanned aircraft could crash and cause damage to people or property on the ground or collide with other objects in the air. And you could be on the hook for civil damages, according to Calo.
Exelon Utility Company-wide text re Drone Sightings BOTG
"Please be advised, over the last several weeks, there have been large drones sighted in Northern New Jersey and it appears that the sightings are becoming more frequent and spreading into the Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia areas. Exelon, PECO, and PHI Security teams, with law enforcement partners, are monitoring this situation. All personnel are reminded of the importance of reporting drone sightings, or any other suspicious activity, near our critical infrastructure to 911 (especially when in progress) and the ESOC. Thank you for your continued vigilance."

Big Tech AI and the Socials
Leonard Kleinrock Social media BOTG
ITM Adam,
I work as a technology and Computer Science teacher and researcher and
have done for nearly 20 years and what catches my ear on your show are
the intermittent chats about technology and the damage it is doing to
people - I agree wholeheartedly and I teach this.
Recently
there has been a number of mentions of internet phenomena such as
over-use of social media triggering mental and physical outbursts that
range from delirious to body-changing. There are some references to
Jonathan Hait's work and of course, the longstanding deliberate
divisions of groups via social engineering in digital form. This
brainwashing is global and glued to one's hand.
I would like to reference that this has been known since 1969-75 when
ARPANET was first testing the connections between of multiple nodes on
networks and their behaviours, especially those of much larger networks
beyond UCLA and Berkley (UK, Finland became direct benefactors in this
enterprise) and pulled in more universities.
In the clip attached, Werner Hertzog's Lo and Behold, Leonard Kleinrock outlines the law of large numbers where
"The larger the network is, the far more efficient it becomes (dark look at
the camera)" - " that if we have a large population of unpredictable
players or messages collectively behaves in a very predictable fashion. A
fashion we can write down exactly therefore we can predict the
performance of a network when it is large." AKA, the Internet or social networks.
Looking at Bluesky, it now looks like the newest internet control mechanism to divide and conquer.

Pope
Boots on the ground - Antipope Bergoglio
Adam, Sir mikeyboss the Irish Catholic Sinner here. I’d like to
emphasize that there is a small but growing percentage of traditional
Catholics who believe Jorge Bergoglio has never been Pope, because
Benedict XVI never made a valid resignation. This understanding is
growing in numbers and influence within the Church, even being discussed
in more mainstream Catholic circles, like Lifesite News.
The
main consolation this gives me is that, while it appears the “Pope
Francis” is destroying the Faith, I believe that Antipope Bergoglio has
no such authority to do so.
I could point you to some very compelling sources regarding this, if you are interested.

California Still Doing Covid BOTG
Hey Adam. I don't remember if you guys talked about this before, but here in San Jose, CA - We have mask mandates in medical facilities. In addition to this nonsense, the company I work for - Olympus (we do the endoscope repairs) - we had two people come in and **Swab Surfaces For Covid today!** If This wasn't bad enough, the woman swabbing the surfaces was **wearing a cloth mask Under Her Nose!** I Really hate living here but I make decent money. Even though Olympus is a DEI company and the management has No ability to think with Any common sense. They just do everything the upper managers want them to do because they are all immigrants and don't want any problems.
Just thought I would share this info and hope you can use it somehow on the show if it comes up.
Blessings,

Diddystein
JayZ now in suit - Buzbee BOTG
Adam—Big Diddy developments! When I said “Bonfire of the Vanities,” I wasn’t kidding. The Diddy saga keeps improving with age. Article attached.
Recall that a “John Doe” hired BigLaw firm Quinn Emanuel to sue Tony Buzbee for extortion. Also recall how we figured that Buzbee would respond by publicly identifying John Doe.
Well, that’s exactly what happened: **This weekend, Buzbee amended one of his NY civil complaints to name Jay-Z as the formerly masked co-rapist** (and as the John Doe in the California suit). I’ve attached a highlighted copies of the amended complaint. It states that Diddy and Jay-Z “drugged and raped a thirteen-year-old girl at an afterparty following the 2000 Video Music Awards.” They allegedly “took turns” with her, in full view of other celebrities. The names in this [Wikipedia entry about the 2000 VMAs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_MTV_Video_Music_Awards) may suggest who some of these other celebrities were. The complaint is worth a read.
**But it gets better:** Before he filed the amended complaint, Buzbee sued Quinn Emanuel for tortious interference with both his existing client contracts and prospective future ones. He’s also accused Quinn Emanuel of barratry—that is, soliciting Buzbee’s former clients and employees and illegally prodding them to initiate litigation. Buzbee filed this action in Harris County, Texas, which is his home field. He requested a temporary restraining order to block Quinn Emanuel from doing various things, but that was denied (it was iffy to begin with, but no harm in trying). In any case, all of this should keep Big Popcorn in business for a while. I’ve attached Buzbee’s petition against Quinn Emanuel (highlighted and a good read) just in case you’re interested in that facet of this drama.
I have no word on the “Jane Doe” case filed in NYC, but that should start heating up before long.
Buzbee counter attacks BOTG
Adam—The hits keep coming. Now another former Buzbee client is suing him. This time, it’s a seaman who had a Jones Act case. According to the seaman, Buzbee improperly intercepted money intended for the client’s care while the case was pending, charged him interest on it, and then took two-thirds of the final settlement as a fee. Highlighted complaint attached.
I take no position on whether these allegations are true. But I find a few things interesting:
· This complaint mentions what Buzbee is _currently_ doing with Diddy, Jay-Z, etc., albeit without naming them.
· Many of the allegations are made “on information and belief,” which means “we don’t have any proof and we could be wrong, but we think this happened.” It’s allowed, but to me, it’s always signaled weakness.
· The pleading goes into other cases in which Buzbee allegedly bilked his clients or otherwise conducted himself improperly. Somebody had to investigate to dig this stuff up. And again, recall that Buzbee filed a lawsuit against the Quinn Emanuel law firm last week alleging this very thing.
· All these attacks have emerged within the span of a few weeks. I also expect more to come (and I’ll bet Buzbee does, too). One might be forgiven for concluding that this is a coordinated attack.
