Alt-Epistemology: Questions about the Azzarello self-immolation

I remember being blown away by Ted Kaczynski’s extremely trenchant Unabomber Manifesto: Industrial Society and its Future.

I was not nearly so blown away when I read Max Azzarello’s Manifesto, which he published on someone else’s substack:

I have set myself on fire outside the Trump trial.

Both Kaczynski and Max Azzarello were extremely cynical critics of the current way the world is run. With good reason. Both felt so strongly that they were driven to extreme acts of violence.

Kaczynski is much more articulate, his arguments, as I recall (haven’t reread it), all dovetail into a larger perspective; not so for Azzarello. On the other hand, since the Unabomber Manifesto, nearly 30 years, or one Saturn return, ago, one could argue that the world has gotten that much more complicated, opening space for even more corruption. Aside from the fact that, unlike Kaczynski, Azzarello had stuck his finger into Democratic politics (photographed with Bill Clinton; Bernie supporter), he had obviously grown disgusted with the corruption in both parties, and those who inhabit them. Plus, his main area of concern, crypto, had not even entered the financial ecosystem in 1995, when Kaczynski penned his manifesto. I feel for Azzarello, a bit crazy, maybe, but who isn’t that endeavors to research deeply into what is really going on.

The Azarrello drama took place last Friday; by Saturday morning, he had supposedly died.

I say supposedly, because I really do wonder if this drama was actually some kind of psy-op, or false flag. Not sure what kind of course, but immediately after the burning, displayed on X/twitter in front of Fox news cameras, I noticed that many many of the comments included the possibility that this man was an MK Ultra victim. That, in other words, he was a targeted individual remotely triggered to throw fistfuls of documents in the air and then light himself on fire, in front of the building where Trump’s trial is being held, just as the jury was finalized.

If so, then why? And is it really true? Is any of it real?

Let’s take these one at a time.

Oh oh! People are talking.
Shit like this will make the CIA nervous.
Be extra wary.https://t.co/Bk1L8SYLWb

If MK Ultra, then WHY. Was it to paint crypto as crazy? (Very possible.) Was it to paint the idea of revolution (his other big themes) as crazy? (Also possible: to control the narrative.) Was it to create an association between Trump and a man burning himself alive? To make Trump and his followers look crazy? (Again, possible.) Or might it have been to distract attention from the Trump trial? Or to just subject us to full prolonged view of a man burning alive (if that is what it was), and thus condition us, mind control us, to even worse atrocities in the future?

What else? What other possibilities? Your guess is as good as mine, and remember, if MK Ultra, if generating a psy-op, a false flag, then there are likely multiple purposes involved.

But what if it wasn’t a psy-op? Or I should say, what if it was a different kind of psy-op, one like many others, designed to keep us guessing (forever!) and thus, in that way, distracting attention for no good reason. A different kind, in that it was meant to look like a man burning himself alive, but it wasn’t, not really.

Lots of commentary on X/twitter re: possibility that he was not a standard burn victim. Here’s the first one I saw. Especially, let me add, the way the people so roughly handled his supposedly burned body, as well as the fact that his body, including his head did not look blackened, at all, except for one photo that Laura Loomer posted, a close-up of his head, which in her photo, did look horrendously blackened, unlike the rest of the body. I tried to get that photo off X/twitter just now, and it has been removed!
