The Insane Manifesto Of Austin Texas Crash Pilot Joseph Andrew Stack (was he a Leftist Moonbat?)
businessinsider.com ^ | Feb. 18, 2010 | Joe Weisenthal

Wow.

Check out the anti-big brother rant on EmbeddedArt.com that's almost certainly from the pilot of the crash.

The manifesto is dated today, and it even anticipated his death.

---------

If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, “Why did this have to happen?” The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken. Needless to say, this rant could fill volumes with example after example if I would let it. I find the process of writing it frustrating, tedious, and probably pointless… especially given my gross inability to gracefully articulate my thoughts in light of the storm raging in my head. Exactly what is therapeutic about that I’m not sure, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

We are all taught as children that without laws there would be no society, only anarchy. Sadly, starting at early ages we in this country have been brainwashed to believe that, in return for our dedication and service, our government stands for justice for all. We are further brainwashed to believe that there is freedom in this place, and that we should be ready to lay our lives down for the noble principals represented by its founding fathers. Remember? One of these was “no taxation without representation”. I have spent the total years of my adulthood unlearning that crap from only a few years of my childhood. These days anyone who really stands up for that principal is promptly labeled a “crackpot”, traitor and worse.

I’m not sure you could fairly label this guy.

Sounds like a man who just couldn’t handle life, someone who had huge chips on both shoulders and was angry at everyone.

Not somebody you wanted as your next-door neighbor, for sure.

I don't know if he qualifies as a communist for quoting Marx at the end - I think he was only setting up the anti-government "rhyme". The tone of his rant describes a guy who tried everything he could to get out of paying taxes and he tried to fix the problem by continuing to not pay his taxes.

It looks like this fellow was at the end of his rope regarding his tax problems and felt like a fool for taking bad advice.

Actually, CNN made it a point to say that this guy wasn’t a right-winger. I heard it myself.

He is strongly against section 1706 in the 1986 tax law. This law makes it difficult to work as a contractor if you are in the technology field. I agree that this provision should be repealed. I do not understand why unhappiness about this tax law provision would cause a homicide-suicide act.

The bizarre tipoff is that he mentions Bush:

"The recent presidential puppet GW Bush and his cronies in their eight years certainly reinforced for all of us that this criticism rings equally true for all of the government.

But he never once mentions Obama.

I actually read the entire thing. The man is nuts. He’s taken one from column A, one from column B, and two from column C to create his own little insane worldview, which culminated in double murder and a suicide.

To describe this as ideological one way or the other doesn’t seem right. I sense ideologies used in defense of inner turmoil and madness.

One would be ‘hasty’ in their judgement unless and until walking in this mans’, or any mans’, shoes. What you find problematic, someone else might find intolerable. Pity is; the man knew not what to do with the dispair.

He definitelly is not crazy about one detail; nothing will change unless FORCED to change.

the joke we call the American medical system, including the drug and insurance companies, are murdering tens of thousands of people a year...Yet, the political “representatives” (thieves, liars, and self-serving scumbags is far more accurate) have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the “terrible health care problem”.

So how did this guy get hold of Obama's teleprompter?

We know there is one fewer supporter of Obamacare in the world.

You don’t own your own plane, do you?

No.

I'm not an entitlement baby like Stack.

He blames everyone except himself.

Clearly he did not know YHvH.

Screw that.

This a-hole was advocating communism. You know, the one that killed 100 million people in the 20th century?

Yes that is where most of the liberals in the state live. You can get your handouts quicker that way, just look at Washington DC, eat up with liberals but your closer to the man doling out the free dollars...

He was a coward, same as the 9-11 hijackers. You got a beef with IRS agents that is all that serious, you go down and take them out individually. Or go higher in the food chain. You don't burn down a building full of innocent people.

What a maroon!

Looking at the video of the place burning, looking like the WTC before those buildings collapsed, I don't see how it ended up with only two people taken to the hospital with non life threatening burns, and one "unaccounted for".

I don’t know what people expect from the government. That is the problem, that we expect government to be “on our side” and get severely disappointed when they turn out to be their own side against us.

Why are people still surprised?

The government said it predicts inflation at 16%??? You can bet it’ll be higher. What interest rate are you getting at the bank? 3%?? Your money in the bank is going to be worth less and less.

And then we’re told the banks are “hoarding” it. The banks know people are going to be taking their money out. It’s the whole point of what is going on.

It is not an accident.

They want you to take your money out of the bank and spend it, or give it to the government. What happens when nobody has money in the bank? Banks can’t loan, businesses can’t borrow and invest or expand. Jobs are not created.

Sure you spend on things made in China and China gets some new jobs.

The run on the banks this year will lead to higher “consumer spending” (or watch as the value of your dollars shrink). The government declares victory over the recession.

But when THAT bubble bursts, its all over but the crying. The fat lady will be crying because she’s not going to be able to afford a crust of bread.

The guy sees the problem and comes to the WRONG conclusion like so many brainwashed sheeple will.

Look the man was nuts. I doubt you could label him that he hated the Catholic Church.
