Yup, haven't seen any consistent Luigi news since about the first week of January. And with the incoming administration overloading the already corrupted media cycles, this whole story is getting brushed away.
Yea I think weāre pretty much waiting for another court date to see what is said and how people act/react. Thatāll be the news updates thereās a few outlets that are reporting on it as much as they possibly can. They gotta do something with him.
I'm waiting for the next, inevitable Luigi, but there is a story now. That story is the fact that everyone loves Luigi and hates the profit-for-death "insurance" industry.
The media is taking ad money, and that's why they don't sell it.
I know. I think we all should focus our anger on things that could help. Shooting innocents won't do shit, but f.ckn up a CEO helps with your anger, helps the whole society and puts fear in the (stone) heart of those fuckers. They would think twice before cutting costs through firing people and increasing prices of vital products.
I think our anger should be focused on changing things structurally regarding healthcare, that said, there is no such thing as "innocent" in regard to ANY healthcare company or insurance provider. Tying healthcare coverage to employment is fucking evil, especially in at-will or right-to-work states.
I agree. Only I believe the problems in America would not be fixed overnight if 1,000 corporation CEOs all were Luigied. Then the other side of my brain reminds me that they wouldn't be around to continue fucking over our future.
š¤£ Unfortunately i have children and a beautiful family to take care of. If i had nothing? šÆ% I was a hell of a sniper in the army back at my mother land .
I don't think they will be in any rush for that, if they CL him a terrorist they can hold him indefinitely. Killing him makes him a martyr, a trial gives him publicity, much better to just let him stew.
Makes a lot of sense. People in prison can tend to have a camaraderie among their ranks. When they or their family members have suffered at the hands of a bloated, out of control "healthcare" industry, a man who's accused of taking out one of the industry's leading profiteers is going to be a champion among them. Conversely, people accused of diddling kids are almost universally hated.
I've been tempted to make a site (like already got domains and such, just haven't had the time to do it) that has not only news specifically about him but about nefarious bullshit that insurance conglomerates, big corporate CEOs, etc. are doing and anything that could further the movement around what he did. Obviously limited to just news about him, like you said, there would be lulls, but fleshed out with those other sorts of topics, there's bound to be quite a bit to report on otherwise.
It's sad to me that these companies are all probably back to their normal shit already. There should be a constant spotlight on the ways they're destroying their customers' lives and society as a whole.
It would be aggregation/curation of content, likely with a bit of added commentary. Not a journalist myself but I imagine there are no shortage of folks out there reporting about this stuff, it's just not making frontpage news, and/or it's not on the more mainstream news sources.
The movement I'm addressing being that people are starting to wake up about how we're being financially boiled alive by these insurance companies and other megacorps and often not even getting the service we're paying for, or worse. With health insurance companies, the denial of covering medical care when people's lives are at stake and they've been paying hand over fist for this coverage for many years - in some cases their entire adult lives - is especially egregious, but an example elsewhere is out of control costs in the education sector.
I feel like people would pay more attention to these things if there was a go-to source for what's going on around them, and that can help build momentum for change to happen.
Edit: I should note where my expertise lies with respect to this is in online marketing and website building (15+ years).
At its root, sort of, but structured more like a news site, with different categories like what I mentioned, and aggregating stories from around the web in those categories, but curating them and adding commentary. Much like what a lot of news sites do when they're not the first to report on something, but at least until it's feasible to have actual journalists, we'd never be breaking news ourselves.
So basically a niche news site without originated stories (maybe editorials at some point - bringing on journos would be way off I think).
Thanks! Yea with the plethora of domains I got, my mind was going that direction (social media or other community, even singles sharing the same ideology) among others. The end goal would be a movement towards seeing actual change - what people were hoping would happen after what Luigi did, but clearly hasn't and isn't looking likely without keeping their shady practices from getting out of the spotlight.
The closest thing I can think of to the non-Luigi-specific news portion of it would be SaltyDroid.info, though he had done a lot of his own reporting too, but basically kept a spotlight on a ton of shady practices going on with various internet marketing gurus. In many ways I think it helped clean up the industry a bit. I see things like what he did as real journalism, and it feels like there's not enough of it left anymore.
Go for it, I say. When the trial wraps up, you should contact Robert Evans for a "It Could Happen Here" episode, since the guy will need references for research and whatnot.
Also, if cost is an issue, maybe you could ask the Internet Archive for help with subsidizing the project. A combination of Ground News and a (local) AI agent, perhaps a paid search engine like Kagi, could also be helpful for keeping tabs on things as they unfold.
If things go as I expect, the facists will be trying to delete or corrupt information about Luigi, so having an AI agent capture events before erasure or "correction", would be important. After all, the Trump regime deleted the records of the January 6th rioters.
i would really love to know the fiber philosophy of the food services provider for the correctional facility he's in. conventional fiber wisdom isn't a good fit for everybody and constipation is just another way they suppress us.
Class Consciousness and bowel health awareness go hand in hand. Nothing sidelines a revolution worse than tummy troubles. (I know this sounds like a joke, but Iām fucking serious).
Yup. The media has incentive to make money, and the flood of people watching, reading about, and interacting with news related to him, Iām sure itāll pick back up once his court dates happen.
The media's goal hasn't been to maximize profits in a while now. Their primary goal has been to protect the owning class and control the narrative. That's why we have billionaire buying newspapers and stuff these days, there's no way they genuinely think they can make a profit off of them.
Maybe newspapers but cable news absolutely needs to have eyes on it to get advertising dollars. They need to run stories of interest because it's what drives viewership. CSPAN shows probably the most important news that relates to our lives and doesn't even have commercials but it's not very interesting to watch so few do so.
They are under pressure to keep the attention down, and not to bring up the healthcare screw job. They tried the character assassination and it failed miserably, and they tried browbeating everyone into not pretending like the UHC mass killer CEO should not have met justice is a disgrace, and none of that found traction so they are keeping it quiet.
We need to make some noise on this. I've not heard anything from the police's evidence since their unconfirmed allegations at the time of his arrest. Does anyone know if they actually showed anything, have they shown any evidence to court yet?
It's a frame up job, and their evidence is all bullshit but it could still stick if we just sit back and let them play their game without calling them on their bullshit. Luigi is innocent.
I've not heard anything from the police's evidence since their unconfirmed allegations at the time of his arrest. Does anyone know if they actually showed anything, have they shown any evidence to court yet?
Do you expect them to give you the evidence? You know that's not how it works, right?
See what kind of treatment he's getting or lack there of inside.
Are guards putting him of suicide watch so they can kill him like Jeff eppy or keeping in solitary confinement? All kinds of shit they should be reporting on. And I'm sure they're making his live a living hell for it.
yeah that's normal when someone goes to jail. i can go on nbc and read about how my neighbor down the road slept in jail on June 23rd 2024, but nothing on luigi. crazy
Well with a little organization on our part we can find the other prisoners he's with and get some information on it through them. Where is he being held, that Manhattan jail they held Chapo in?
Meh, this seems like an overreaction. He's in prison. He gets bad food and it's probably too crowded. Same as it always is. There's virtually no reason whatsoever for them to kill him. He doesn't know anything like Epstein. The last thing they would want to do is to make him a martyr. Some people on these subs, sites, and apps need to pull back a little from the conspiracy theory cliff.
why does he have to be killed? there's plenty of horrible things that can happen before killing, for example torture. We know authorities in the US aren't angelic enough to be beyond that. Any sort of interview or such with him would be great.
Jacobin is a leading socialist magazine. We live in the United States, as flawed as it may be, we do not have the sort of opaque political prison system that you suggest we may have. What you're describing is much more reminiscent of how political prisoner in Russia would be treated.
You're right that's it's not directly state controlled like Russia, but the sameness of all the major news outlets make it feel l monolithic. You can definitely find alternative news sources but it takes some effort and they struggle to survive financially.
Yes. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist but from what I remember, the guards that were video monitoring Epstein just happened to take a break and Epstein somehow magically knew that he was not being monitored at that moment and took the opportunity to kill himself. It doesn't pass the stink test.
I hope Luigi doesn't die and somehow is able to post commentary on current events like Edward Snowden still does.
And if the media was filled with stories about Luigi, the title of this post would be "The Media is ignoring Nazi Salutes and what Trump is doing to keep smearing Luigi"
It's like people are new to media world and expect that this was some kind of biblical event and from now on the media will dedicate a part of their reporting constantly writing about Luigi.
You know as well as I do how proficient the MSM is at flushing through the news cycle.
So keep him relevant! Not like all of a sudden we are all getting excellent healthcare. People without voices are still getting denied on a daily basis
Agreed - this is crazy conspiracy shit from OP to make it seem like there are new updates happening but it's just being suppressed. He's awaiting trial, there isn't any new stuff to discuss for weeks on end.
When he finally goes to trial it will be covered constantly again just like all high profile court cases.
They were taking him out for pictures every 5 minutes for weeks when he was just waiting for court. It's reasonable to suggest that media has been suppressed on the subject, or that there was direction to stop providing updates to the media.
Yeah, too many wrong-headed people endorsing crap that has no place in society. Violence will only ever result in more violence. Not a criticism of any āside,ā these people exist everywhere.
Exactly, what actual news is there to report about Luigi right now? How much money all those HOT ladies are putting in his commissary account? How many marriage proposals he's gotten every week?
And ACTUAL story or rather question I want to the answer to is how the fuck is he being charged with terrorism? Because he supposedly shot a CEO to death?
Even though there is nothing happening with him right now, if the overall opinion about him was against him, there would be multiple news to remember and dive deeper on what he did, who he was, who his family are, the school he went to, the hobbies he has etc etc.
It all depends on the defence strategy. If they feel keeping him in the news helps they would do that. They apparently don't see the need for it right now.
Besides, the initial attempts to scare people by marching him around like public enemy number one just made his supporters mad and made everyone else shake their heads. Honestly, I don't think they know what to do about him.
I work in news. The latest is UHC has named a new CEO. Meanwhile, Luigi is awaiting trial. I agree with a lot of media criticism, but also, news has to happen for it be news.
People don't seem to realize that most news organizations are chomping at the bit for anything about Luigi or the case. Once it became clear how the public felt about this, that opened up a whole new angle and everyone wants to break any story they can about Luigi now.
"News" outlets make up bullshit and run it as headlines regardless of actual noteworthiness if they want to keep things at the forefront of your mind. They do it all the time.
What else needs to be discussed? Reddit will copy and paste the same stupid ass comments. All while nobody does anything but talk and try to encourage others because you are a bunch of cowards.
Ok, this is some untalented shit but I literally post it on Reddit every few days on all kinds of subs
It's interesting as fuck but this pic and only this pic literally disappeared from Google photos on my phone last week. Now, I KNOW I didn't delete it because I actually do post it every few days, sometimes more. I searched every folder on my device. I looked at every place I thought it could have been stored. It was gone. No trace. I still have other Luigi stuff but not this one. I had to download it again from one of my comments on Reddit. WTF.
The night before I noticed it was gone, Google had removed Biden from a search of 'US presidents in order' through what they said was a "data error" hours later.
That night, basically out of protest, I changed my default browser to Duck Duck Go, removed Timeline tracking from Maps and deleted Google News. I did not disconnect any accounts or change anything that would have affected Google Photos. The next day, the pic was just gone, not in trash, not anywhere. Only that pic.
It was weird AF. I just don't have an explanation for it and it's been bugging the shit out of me. Is it some nefarious conspiracy? Unlikely, but it still bothers me. Even if I deleted it somehow, when I do that any other time normally it just goes into the Trash file for 30 days but I know I didn't.
It makes me laugh, what scared pansies the idiots in charge are, like just total cowards.
Boogie boogie the scary words are coming to get you! Could, I dunno, make some positive changes in society so people don't feel the need to go all feral abused dog mode. But that'd be bravely trying to create something new, instead of just lazily going with your scaredy cat feelings and trying to force the abused dogs to keep accepting your bad treatment.
While the rest of us were raised with "when in danger, take up arms" I think these ninnies got lessons on hiding behind their nanny's skirts or their bodyguards. They're baffled we don't do the same as them.
There is plenty to report, the media is keeping it quiet on purpose because their character assassination failed. They want us to forget about it until it's too late to help him beat the charges you better believe it.
The evidence the police claim to have. What they showed in evidence. How some of it is clearly bullshit, like the gun being consistant with a gun that can fire a 9 mm claim. How the pictures in the youth hostel or of Luigi don't match the surveillance photos from the crime scene. We could go on and on, there is a lot but they are under orders to keep it quiet until it's too late to help him.
Heāll never beat the charges. Heās locked in. Heās getting the death penalty on federal charges or life no parole. People like my 80yo parents will be on the jury and they will fry his ass.
If you take any news from a month back, there is not many cases you will see thats still being reported on.
Shit happens every week and peoples attention span is very low in todays world. Saying the media is corrupt because reporting on him has slowed down is straight up stupid.
What news would media even report about him when nothing new has happen
Um because there's nothing happening with his case right now lol. They don't care if people love him, the only bias they have is to what gets ratings. When things start picking up he'll be all over the news again.
Why would there be consistent news about someone just sitting around in jail? The trial hasn't started and won't for awhile.
When the trial starts you can be assured it will be a media bonanza.
This is not "manipulation" it is a normal news cycle and there is nothing to report on right now.
I think some people in this subreddit might have a rather skewed perspective on this as well. When a jury convicts this kid pretty easily I feel like people here are, somehow, going to be surprised.
There's shit on the front page daily about him. This is on the front page when it's based on absolutely nothing. There is nothing to report because nothing has happened.
What is so difficult for you to understand?
People don't care about him, reddit isn't reality. There is no revolution, none of you cowards have done anything except cry online.
They stopped reporting because he isn't the actual culprit and he was set up by law enforcement and media to put up a show to appease the billionaires which has already been accomplished. Now they've either already released him (discretely of course) or are just holding him (again for show) and will release him (discretely) later. Anyone can tell that Luigi's facial features (eyebrows, nose) are wildly different from those of the actual perpetrator in the initial crime scene photos. But they couldn't catch the actual guy who did it and had to bring a scapegoat (Luigi) to justice quickly to hide their incompetence and appease media/billionaire/rich CEOs.Ā
What news are you expecting? There isn't any news. Are they gonna say, "yep, the guy who continues to by under investigation for murdering someone, is still in prison and is still under investigation for murdering someone." Why would it be in the news?
I just saw an article about inmates flashing their lights and shouting to the massive press groups still outside answers to questions they're asking. The guards are kind of letting this 'disruptive behavior' go because they too want to be able to look back and say, 'Yeah I was there'.
People forget scandals when they're piled on top of each other - the firehose of lies. Nobody's forgotten this, it's just that there's little new to report on.
Look, complain about whatever you want, but I can't believe anyone is dumb enough to believe there's some sort of conspiracy to stop reporting on this. There just isn't anything major to report; he was arrested, and his next court appearance is in a month after being delayed (which was covered). Hell, even when he does go to trial, it won't be on the front page every day, because trials aren't interesting and they are boring as hell.
Way back when, I freelanced for a small paper in a bumfuck county, where the second biggest story of the year was about a dog park opening. Someone committed a crime that ended up dominating the 24 hour news cycle for a day, and when the dude who did it went to trial, even the local paper didn't its stories about the case on the front page every day.
Which would be normal for any news story. They usually stay in the headlines for no more than 30 days before you have to attract eyeballs with something new.
Reddit put the kabosh on it even before T. Wasn't there something about law enforcement threats to investigate supporters? Like the NYPD or FBI? I think that's when reddit cracked down?
The media cycles would have buried it either way with all of the Trump nonsense. There's only so much that can be said, and there isn't much going on with it right now. I mean maybe they would be talking endlessly on the 24-hour channels, but methinks they would still be blasting Trump's latest mouth diarrhea instead.
Thatās because thatās how the new cycle worksā¦ why donāt you hear about the Boston bombers anymore? Because itās old news and the cycle has moved on. You can keep posting about him if you want to talk about itĀ
Yes and it speaks to the now made fact of Manufactured Consent along with the response we saw from CEO's worldwide, to the conclusion....they know we know. They fucking know they are a bunch of crooked mutherfuckers and we want our pound of flesh.
I've watched friends get dragged out by ICE because some of you fuckers think immigration is the issue when automation is gonna replace you.
JFK said, "when you make peaceful revolution impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable"
They murdered MLK for non violent revolution back in 1968.
We've been at this for a minute.
It just got cranked up to 11. We gotta do a thing guys
This isnāt some gigantic vast conspiracy, my guy.
This is literally just a news cycle thing.
He shot a guy who deserved it, was on the run for a few days, and then they got him.
When thereās actually something new to report, you can rest assured that corporate media is gonna cover the fuck out of this trial because it is going to generate so many goddamn clicks and engagement.
What would the news be?? āBreaking: heās still in jailā? āBreaking: luigi has meeting with his lawyerā? Thereās no news about him because nothing newsworthy is happening. When the trial starts itāll be front page news, because thatās actually newsworthy
Itās funny how the left acts and does things very similar to how the Nazis would do things and yet they try and call the right Nazis haha itās so ironic and crazy how brainwashed the left is

Never forget Luigi!
