Luigi Mangione not to be charged



Man accused of killing healthcare CEO will NOT face state terrorism-related murder charges, but other charges will stand

People's hero or future model?
Handsome accused killer Luigi Mangione scored a major legal victory today (Tuesday, 9/16/25) as a judge dismissed the two top state charges against him, first-degree murder and second-degree murder, both of which prosecutors had argued were "terrorism" crimes.

Mangione still faces an additional second-degree murder charge, as well as a federal murder charge, in the killing [execution, assassination] of United HealthCare executive Brian Thompson last December.

I'm super smart, so I'll shoot this thief...
The overseer of Mangione’s state criminal case, Judge Gregory Carro, said “the evidence put forth was legally insufficient” for the two terrorism-related charges, in a written decision that was posted during a 15-minute proceeding in Manhattan court on Tuesday.

I got away by bike; my brows brought me down
“Counts one and two, charging [the] defendant with murder in the first degree (in furtherance of an act of terrorism) and murder in the second degree as a crime of terrorism, are dismissed as legally insufficient,” Judge Carro wrote. “The people presented legally sufficient evidence of all other counts, including murder in the second degree (intentional).” More
COMMENTARY: "Deny, Defend, Depose"
Luigi Mangione, "the hero of the people"
Kill our TVs before they kill us with PR?
"He's so good looking, he could get away with murder," people say. Deny Defend Depose, the profit-driven insurance companies insist. Are the killers getting more handsome, or is it just me? Sweet, super smart shooters, why? Bonnie and Clyde were popular American figures, Jewish mafiosos who brought down Italian ones by selling them out to the Feds and destroying some families by working with the American government...and we as a population are cheering for more missiles to Ukraine, Gaza, Israel, Palestine, Yemen, Iran, Venezuela...like we just can't keep our missiles in the Pentagon's pants.

Race may play a role in these murder cases, because today the Menendez Brothers, stars of a documentary that almost got them released from prison, lost their bid to retry the case. Now their only hope for release is California Gov. Newsom. (What's in it for him since he intends to run for president and doesn't want to be accused of being "soft on crime"?) And in three years, they can go back to the prison board to petition for release.

'Viagra for women,' Big Pharma boon?

Our Aphrodisiac Sampling Party produced no immediate results according to our "score" card
Amy King, KFI AM 649 news
Spring is coming! You know what that means. 🛌🍆💕 Cleaning, of course. And maybe a clean house will finally put her in the mood. But don't count on it. This whole marriage was a bait-and-switch! Enter, Addyi (as in addi-ction). Now there will be no excuse. Of course, how much has it even changed the world? It is not exactly new, just getting a new advertising push.

Once upon a time, "the pill" changed the world, starting in this country with women's lib, the Sixties, free love, and an end to the fear of unwanted pregnancies.

IDK why I get my freak on once a month.
What color was that pill? Pharmaceutical white, we think. Then came a revolution in capitalist medicine, a big blue pill (Viagra®) that changed the world.

Marriages rejoiced until they yawned and turned over and kept grumbling, "Get off me." What to do, what to do? Ah, better living through chemistry was the slogan at raves that pumped the EDM to bright synthetic colors and chemicals.


I don't need it. Being lust-free is not a problem.
Finally, after decades of trying -- after millennia of aphrodisiac promises and recipes, slaughter shellfish rich in zinc, drupe fruits hanging languorously from the bough and branch, vine and even emerging from the ground (pomegranate, fig, avocado berry, strawberry, amla, gooseberry, camu camu...) What is the secret substance?

Feel nada? Maybe BDSM? Secretary Mag Gyllenhaal
Ah, clean vegan protein hits the spot.
Big Pharma now has something to sell to dissatisfied husbands and intrepid women who want to feel what they no longer feel or never felt, given years of sexism and trauma and inverted onanism no one is allowed to talk about, not that they would talk about it since the real occupation is in the mind. Free our minds and our butts will follow? That's the saying.

I should marry and do this while she sleeps.
Drop a pharmaceutical -- along with all the antidepressants (mostly SSRIs), dopaminergic Adderall, obtunding alcohol. and whatever else the dealers on campus are dealing -- and hop in bed? That would be surprising.

What kind of obsession can desire become? 
No one believed beets and nitric acid could do anything, but Viagra proved otherwise until every corporation rushed to release their own versions of the same thing. Cialis® anyone? That market is saturated (with generic sildenafil). Now it's time to soak some new sheets. Enter, Addyi® (flibanserin). Is it only for "working girls" like Julia Roberts? No, they don't want to enjoy it or be in any mood but moneygrubbing mode, the better for the heartless gold-digging.

The hidden danger and depravity of sensual lust
Addyi is the only FDA-approved pill proven to increase a woman's sex drive. Addyi is a 100% [synthetic allopathic chemical compound but it is a] hormone-free pill for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) proven to help certain premenopausal women*:
  • have more interest in sex
  • have more satisfying sex
  • lower stress (from low libido).
.
Do we get money back if it doesn't work?
(BTW, look carefully, perv. That's her leg!)
*Efficacy of Addyi was established in three 24-week trials in over 2,000 premenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD. Patients were treated with Addyi (n=1,187) or placebo (n=1,188) [n being the number of participants in a study].

Not all women will experience similar improvement for their HSDD. For the last 10 years, Addyi has been the #1 prescribed treatment for HSDD [1] in women who have not yet gone through menopause, who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and who have low sexual desire no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation, or the sexual partner.

Sexbot: Wait, what, you're saying I'm not a "real" woman? This pill didn't work! Get off of me!
.
Women with HSDD have low sexual desire that is troubling to them. Their low sexual desire is not due to:
  • a medical or mental health problem [such as having been molested, assaulted, or raped, Live Beyond ACEs!],
  • problems in the relationship
  • or medicine
  • or other drug use.
I get a real charge out of suckers men for my Tesla
Addyi is not for use for the treatment of HSDD in women who have gone through menopause or in men or children [anyone under 18, depending on geographical location and political climate].

Addyi is not for use to enhance sexual performance [so, sorry, working girls, you'll just have to rely on the same illegal drugs you've been using up until now].

ACEs
It happened to everyone. - No, it didn't!
(Live Beyond CA) Our past experiences do not define us, but they can have a lasting impact on our mental and physical health and even our relationships. ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) are not our fault. We didn’t have control over when or why they happened, but we can live beyond ACEs and take steps toward healing. More

Big Pharma keeps trying to convince women they need libido drugs
Teresa Carr, Mother Jones
What's in this legal toxic stew of allopathic chemicals and enzyme disruptors?
.
Magic in Pandora's bottle or an evil genie?
Sex therapist and researcher Leonore Tiefer shuttered the New View Campaign, an organization she had founded to combat what she refers to as “the medicalization of sex” — essentially, the pharmaceutical industry’s efforts to define variations in sexuality and sexual problems as medical issues requiring a drug fix.

For 16 years, the group had fought against industry’s involvement in sex research, including its push for a drug to boost women’s sex drives.

New View hosted conferences and its members penned papers and testified before the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The campaign was prominently featured in an 80-minute documentary called Orgasm Inc, and promoted a clever (if off-pitch) video advising women to “throw that pink pill away,” a reference to the female-libido drug flibanserin (Addyi), which was seeking FDA approval at the time.

Orgasm Inc, that's a real thing? Is it Rated X?

New View counted some successes: The FDA didn’t approve an allegedly libido-boosting testosterone patch for women, on the grounds that the patch’s slim benefits didn’t outweigh its risks, and the FDA twice rejected flibanserin for the same reason.

But [ten years ago] in August 2015, the agency reversed itself and approved the so-called pink Viagra. “I felt we’d said everything we had to say,” said Tiefer of ending the campaign.

Advocates predicted FDA approval would be sought for additional women’s libido drugs, but the group felt there was nothing they could do to stop it. More

"Vigilante" Luigi Mangione?


The Failure, Fear, and Frenzy around Luigi

(Josh Johnson) Dec. 17, 2024: Just announced, the first half of JJ's 2025 tour. Check out joshjohnsoncomedy.com/tour for dates and to sign up for the waitlist to be notified when performances are in a nearby city.

Hi Friends, This week I wanted to share my thoughts on everything that is going on with Luigi Mangione and UnitedHealthcare assassination. Most people already know the story, but what I think few understand is the wider context of people’s anger at health insurance companies and the lifting up of someone they see as a vigilante.


Under Obamacare more people are insured than ever before. It getting passed meant companies could not deny one based on preexisting conditions or family history. Even with the coverage the actual likelihood of one paying into one's health insurance and actually being insured when we need it is unreasonably low.

Doctors, labs, and hospitals are out of network depending on who you have and whether we have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Elevance, CVS Health, Kaiser Foundation, Humana, Centene Group, Cigna, or other health care services corporations are not immune to the possibility of having to pay more out of pocket than one can afford and being saddled with bills one has to fight with the insurance provider over.

All of us have to figure out a way forward. Some believe that it will be through legislation that curbed insurance companies' ability to deny and delay claims until the problem, or the person, goes away. Luigi Mangione has been hailed or condemned on Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook by what feels like everyone in the United States.

🏳️‍🌈 Trump mandates binary (LGBTQI+)


Rense.com conflates Judaism and transgenderism
What is a "binary"? It is a choice between two options, like computer code, 1 or 0. In other contexts, it is a black and white way of thinking. Even though there may be three options, we sometimes like two simplify the world into just two or even just one -- black or white, this or that, yay or nay. A gender binary is the idea that humans are born as either male or female.



Lost in Transnation (Dr. Grossman)
Of course, there is "other," but as humans we often find that messy. It may be rare, but there is a third gender, a pandaka in Buddhist terms, and that can be further divided. Many today, because of past karma or xenoestrogenic compounds and other disruptive chemicals in the environment (thanks to Monsanto and Dow Chemical, Inc. and CIA experiments), feel other than or between genders and are or want to be trans (transitioning or transsexuals, crossdressers or transvestites).

Gender is not only a feeling (though that seems to be the only thing anyone goes on, conflating orientation, gender, sex, biology, and emotions). There is a biological reason for assignment into one category or another. But that assignment is constructed, as many things are. So some argue for more choices, more genders sometimes to the point of ridiculousness. Now there's a slap back, and Trump has taken advantage of it, just as he does the issues of race, misogyny, economy, implicit bias, and sexism. He's a con man, and that's what con men do. But the important thing is that his false words represent something very real in the society. There really are things happening that people are not happy with, gender things being shoved down our throats. If he wants to lead a popular revolt against them, it can come as no surprise that it's going to work.

How you will die and why: I.R.

Look, if we have to die, let's at least not talk about it, not now while we're still alive.

Cannabis linked to epigenetic changes: science

Rebecca Dyer, ScienceAlert, 7/20/23; Ananda (DBM), CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
There's a better to access "altered states" than drugs. Meditation expands consciousness.


Cannabis use linked to epigenetic changes, scientists discover
Is it a magic plant or a genetic coincidence?
Using cannabis [weed, pot, marijuana] may cause changes in the human body's epigenome [the top (epi-) portion of our genetic code that turns other instructions on and off], a study of over 1,000 adults suggests.

The epigenome functions like a set of [on and off] switches, activating or deactivating genes [instructions] to change how our bodies function.

Epigenetics ("above genetics") definition  - Wikipedia
.
Smoking largely replaced by gummy candies
"We observed associations between cumulative marijuana use and multiple epigenetic markers across time," says Dr. Lifang Hou, a preventative medical doctor and epidemiologist from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

Cannabis is a commonly used substance in the United States, with 49 percent of people [admitting to] trying it at least once, Dr. Hou and a team of US researchers report in their published paper.

Some US states and other countries have made it legal [due to US pressure], but we still don't fully understand its effects on our health.

The researchers studied around 1,000 adults who had participated in a long-term previous study where they had been asked about their cannabis use over a 20-year period. Study participants provided blood samples on two occasions during that time, at the 15- and 20-year points.

They were aged between 18 and 30 at baseline, or "year 0."  Using these blood samples from five years apart, Dr. Hou and her team looked at the epigenetic changes, specifically DNA methylation levels, of people who had used cannabis recently or for a long time. More
