Heavy.com ^ | APRIL 19, 2024 | Jessica McBride

Posted on 04/19/2024 12:29:11 PM PDT by Red Badger

Max Azzarello is the name given by the man who set himself on fire outside the Trump trial in New York after leaving behind a “rambling” manifesto and social media accounts in which he sang about starting a “revolution.”

“Start a “f****** revolution,” he sang over and over again on Instagram in January. “You’ve got nothing to lose.” Another Instagram post showed him posing as an Uncle Sam-like figure, pointing at the camera. It read, “I want you to tear down a haunted carnival.”

Heavy has located the manifesto, on which he writes, “My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan.”

The man is in critical condition, according to PIX11. However, very disturbing photos on Getty Images show that he is in dire condition. he New York Post also reported that the manifesto was linked to the man named Max Azzarello through a Substack page. Authorities have not publicly identified the man.

Heavy has also reviewed a LinkedIn page and Instagram page in which Azzarello makes similar claims. “We’re victims of a bi-partisan, totalitarian con that will soon collapse the economy,” he wrote on Instagram. His social media pages rail on the wealthy and is critical of politicians of both political parties, including Democrat Bill Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.

“That Bill Clinton was secretly on (former CIA Director) George H.W. Bush’s side, and that the Democrat vs. Republican division has been entirely manufactured ever since: Clinton is with Bush; Gore is with Bush; Trump is with Hillary, and so on,” the manifesto reads, claiming, “As it turns out, we have a secret kleptocracy: Both parties are run by financial criminals whose only goals are to divide, deceive, and bleed us dry.” On LinkedIn, Azzarello wrote that he had previously worked for California Democratic Congressman Ami Bera and Democratic New York Representative Tom Suozzi in 2013 and 2014, although his manifesto indicates he had come to be disenchanted with both political parties; he also railed about cryptocurrency and “ponzi schemes.”

Here’s what you need to know:

The ‘Manifesto’ of Max Azzarello Says He Was Committing an ‘Extreme Act of Protest’ max azzarello Instagram (Max Azzarello) Max Azzarello.

The lengthy manifesto says, “This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery: We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.”

It continues, “These claims sound like fantastical conspiracy theory, but they are not. They are proof of conspiracy. If you investigate this mountain of research, you will prove them too. If you learn a great deal about Ponzi schemes, you will discover that our life is a lie. If you follow this story and the links below, you will discover the rotten truth of ‘post-truth America’. You will learn the scariest and stupidest story in world history. And you will realize that we are all in a desperate state of emergency that requires your action.:

He added: “To my friends and family, witnesses and first responders, I deeply apologize for inflicting this pain upon you. But I assure you it is a drop in the bucket compared to what our government intends to inflict. these words are true, this is an act of revolution.”

The manifesto makes accusations against Peter Thiel and mentions former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush as well as Trump.

“That Bill Clinton was secretly on (former CIA Director) George H.W. Bush’s side, and that the Democrat vs. Republican division has been entirely manufactured ever since: Clinton is with Bush; Gore is with Bush; Trump is with Hillary, and so on,” it reads, claiming, “As it turns out, we have a secret kleptocracy: Both parties are run by financial criminals whose only goals are to divide, deceive, and bleed us dry.”

The New York Post reported that left “a rambling, incoherent 2,648-word manifesto.

CNN confirmed with “two law enforcement sources” that the man “lit himself on fire outside of the courthouse” where the Trump trial is unfolding.

He lit himself on fire outside the courthouse where the Trump trial was unfolding.

A witness told PIX11 that the man “made statements of a political nature” before setting himself on fire. It was not clear what they were.

Max Azzarello Says He Filed a Federal Lawsuit “Here is a federal lawsuit I filed against dozens of perpetrators of the cryptocurrency Ponzi – not for litigation, but just to preserve the information and attach my name to it. I was terrified and hadn’t slept in days and it shows, but it served its purpose of keeping myself alive long enough to keep learning and telling this story,” he wrote, linking to the federal Pacer site.

A LinkedIn page in the name Max Azzarello makes similar claims about Peter Thiel, shares a post about deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, and contains a profile picture showing a man with President Bill Clinton.

The LinkedIn page says Azzarello is from the Philadelphia area and reads, “We’ve got a secret fascism problem.” The writer of the LinkedIn page rails on the wealthy, writing in one post, “Did anybody ever find out why Richard Branson tanked his own company in an elaborate scheme?”

The LinkedIn page says Azzarello is a self-employed research investigator in St. Augustine, Florida, who has worked as a solutions engineer, and as a senior consultant for a Philadelphia professional services firm.

He also worked as a “marketing operations manager” in Philadelphia, as a consultant, as an assistant operations manager for a foundation in Los Angeles.

The LinkedIn page says he was “operations director” for “Bera for Congress in Sacramento, California, and “operations director” for “Friends of Tom Suozzi, in Nassau County, New York.

For the Bera campaign, he wrote that he “Performed donor research and outreach, report generation, customized fundraising campaigns, data mining and data cleaning using NGP and Excel.” For the Suozzi campaign, he wrote that he helped “Lead various projects such as preparing the candidate for debates, organizing commercial shoots, planning logistics for campaign rallies, and completing interest group questionnaires.”

The LinkedIn page says he also worked as general manager for an energy consulting firm, as a program associate for an arts build communities company, and as a research assistant for Eagleton Institute of Politics.

The page says he has a master’s degree in City and Regional Planning, Technology, and Urgan and Community Development from Rutgers University and a bachelor’s degree in Arts, Anthropology, and Public Policy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

According to CNN, the man “walked into the park across the street from the courthouse, throwing flyers into the air.” Again, CNN cited a “senior law enforcement official” the network did not name.

The man then “pulled something out of a backpack,” CNN reported, and “lit himself on fire.”

According to CNN, some of the flyers contained the words “NYU is a mob front” and contained accusations against the university.

The incident is reminiscent of the death of Aaron Bushnell, the San Antonio, Texas, U.S. Air Force airman who set himself on fire on February 25 outside the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C., and later died from his injuries. Bushnell shouted “Free Palestine” before setting himself on fire while on streaming video.

5. A Person Tried to Put the Fire Out With a Suit Jacket, Reports Say

According to The Hill, bystanders tried to put the fire out. One person tried to “pat down the fire with a suit jacket, before another individual with a fire extinguisher put out the fire that way,” the Hill reported.

A video showed that moment as a man ran up with a suit jacket while the man lay twitching on the ground in the fire.

A witness told PIX11 News “they were standing next to a man when he poured a flammable liquid on himself, told her to stand back, and then lit himself on fire.”

Why don’t we have mental institutions that can help people like this? One look at him and you can tell he needs help.

What I wrote in 2020..And I have no intention of setting my self on fire.

After years of watching Presidential elections, I have come to the conclusion that there is an under the table handshake between the two parties to share the Office of the President.
When one party has a strong candidate the other party then runs a weak candidate. Think of McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry and Gore as the weak ones against strong Republican candidates.
Then think of Dole, McCain and Romney as weak candidates against strong Democrat candidates. When Sarah Palin became too popular at campaigning the Republicans held her back.

As for the 2016 election, Hillary was the chosen strong candidate against a man who was not a politician. She was already deemed the President, polls and interviews showed she was going to be the winner no matter what. No need to “cheat”.
The Election was just a formality, the magazines declaring her the winner had already been printed.
One problem. TRUMP overwhelmingly won, throwing everything into a cocked hat. Since that time the elites that secretly decide elections have worked overtime to remove Trump.
In the last election Trump drew thousands to his rallies but Biden drew maybe a bus load and flies. The election showed Trump ahead till thousands of suddenly, under mysterious circumstances, “found” votes gave it to Biden. The “Fix” was in. They could not afford to let Trump win.

Now think back to 1980. The Dems screamed that Ronald Reagan was too old to be President as he was 70 years of age when he took office. There were bets he would not last his first term, and one magazine had an illustration of Reagan laying on an autopsy table.
Yet now the Dems are pushing a 78(now 81) year old senile old man claiming he is the best for the job. I bet Kamalla Harris is chomping at the bit to take over. Probably the only way a woman will get the Presidency. Jill better watch Biden’s back close.

How old are his social media rants? Has any big money been given to his family for his service to the cause (to make deep state haters look like crazies during an election year)?

****Why don’t we have mental institutions that can help people like this?****

We did! But they were closed down in the 1970s. Then mass killings took off like a rocket.
