Leftwingers Praise Murder of CEO, Call for Assassination of Elon Musk;
The "Defending Democracy" Media Has No Comment, Sees No Reason to Condemn

callstokillelonmusk.jpg

Former NYT/Washington Post "reporter" Taylor Lorenz defends wanting health care executives murder, but is now pretending she is only saying she wants this in the abstract. She's not calling for-calling for more murders -- she's merely saying I understand.

A professor of "law and morality" opines:

This man says he's a professor at "Columbia/Adelphi," and he's enthusiastic about the murder:

Prof Zenkus
@anthonyzenkus


BREAKING: Over 1 million Americans assassinated by the private healthcare cabal over the past 10 years. Reactions in DC on both sides of the political aisle range from disinterest to being completely fine with it.


Prof Zenkus
@anthonyzenkus
I will mourn the death of one man after I finish morning the deaths of the more than 1 million other people who have died in the past 10 years alone because of private health insurance.

It may take a while.

His X bio:

Prof Zenkus
@anthonyzenkus

Professor at Columbia/Adelphi, TEDx speaker. Trauma expert. Anti-violence. Commie. I voted against genocide. Views are my own.

"Anti-violence."

The left means they're anti-violence against the left. They never stop committing and justifying violence against their enemies.

The whole rotten Etablishment, including the Establishment "right," concedes that the left has an inalienable right to political violence. Compare the GOPe's reaction to January 6th versus its collective shrug over six months of arson, looting, and murder in the "Summer of Love."

They don't put these in the same category. The right's violence is unjustified, dangerous, and a threat to the Republic, whereas the left's unceasing violence is just the "voice of the streets."

At the risk of being inflammatory: The Establishment "right" often knocks the real right for not taking rightist violence seriously.

Well, see if you can follow this logic: We see you constantly excusing and justifying leftist violence, and we have decided we are NOT the second-class citizens you wish to re-caste us as, and if political violence is permissible to the left, then it is permissible to all.

It is you in the Establishment who are defending political violence and increasing political violence by continuing to maintain that some political violence, by the groups deemed righteous and deserving, is permitted.

Well, we think we're righteous and deserving and I don't accept Bitch McConnell's assertions that I am not. So condemn it all, or condemn none of it.

They've chosen "condemn none of it."

Fine. We'll walk arm and arm into chaos and strife, then.


But I was told that Bluesky had strong moderation policies unlike that racist cesspit of threats and hatred, Twitter!

So rather then deal with the fact that people want more healthcare then they are willing to personally pay for let's just say people in healthcare are murdering millions and then...kill them!

25 I do thank the media for one thing...I knew that United Health Care denied 32% of claims...but if you look, ALL the biggest firms deny more claims that average (12%) - my company, Aetna, which denied mine, denies 20% of claims.

The sole big company with a moral compass - Kaiser Permanente at 7%. That almost might be what should be denied...

Next year, I might be looking at a swap (I think it's too late this year)...

It probably is - death by 1000 cuts as you delay cancer screenings, refuse effective cancer treatments (like mine), etc...no one dies RIGHT NOW b/c they always get emergency treatment, but you destroy their health quickly so they can't use decades of expensive treatments on you.

It's why I've sworn to live so dang long. I'm now looking to stick it to Aetna (and the military)...and that's a lot to live for. They wanted to cheap out by not following NCCN guidelines (b/c they were "too new" - umm, guidelines change as research comes out), so I want it to hurt them as much as possible.

In contrast, where are these 'Far Right' acts of violence? Jan 6 which was seeded with an undisclosed number of feds and no more violent than any of these other events? Any non-Jan 6 far right acts of violence?

59 Insurance... whether it be health, auto or home was always designed to make money for the head office.

20 or 30 bucks on each 100 spent was considered fair.

Now... they want 80 or 90 bucks on every 100.

There are many reasons for this. The biggest one is our own government. Their cut has ballooned.

The old "I don't condone but I understand gambit is real. But encouraging this kind of lawlessness, in a big city where Trump has a home and currently has a controversial trial ongoing, is setting off a tinderbox.

I know insurance agencies have rep as bad as lawyers (being too helpful for a granny filing a claim got the hero on the Incredibles fired), but the vile social media comments about the guy that died are rough. For all they know, he could be a whistleblower.

-- Antifa has been captured by the trans ideology. This is not well-known in mainstream cricles, but I'm more "in the loop" when it comes to Antifa insider insights. Probably 50% of ANtifa member nw identify as trans or queer, and their 2025 pocket organizer says "Trans Live Matter" all overthe cover;

-- Insurance companies are more and more denying expensive "gender affirming" operations, or deeming them "cosmetic," as they try to walk ther razor's edge between pressure from both sides;

-- THus, Antifa is now targeting big health insurance coroprations as the new enemy #1.

I don't think this angle is being reported anywhere,

71 Over 1 million Americans assassinated by the private healthcare cabal
No. they have not been assassinated. They have died (mostly) of illnesses which will kill them. These have been congenital, cancer, and contagious diseases. And, while it sucks to deal with any of these diseases/issues, it is they which will kill us, not the health "insurance" providers, the health care "industry." nor any executives thereof. They are not killing you directly, and especially not targeting you specifically (you used the word "a**a**ination" and murder, both words meaning a targeted, intentional killing).

More broadly, you do not have any "right" to a healthful, pain- or suffering-free life. You don't have any "right" to healthcare.

What you do have a right to is to be treated fairly according to the rules. The fact you often don't bother to read the rules is your fault. The fact you have little control over the rules is because of gov't interference in a market that stems back over 100 years. In particular, the distortion caused by "health care policies" covering up the real cost of things, and the making of "health care" into an industry by exempting it from income/payroll tax.

81 This might surprise you, but Insurance companies make most of their profits (not from premiums) from investments. In a lot of cases...investments in foreign markets.

That's one of the reasons AIG had such a bad time (remember the Too big to Fail stuff). They were heavily invested in a tanked foreign market.

82 OK. I did say earlier that, given my own history with Useless Health Coverage, I could understand why someone might want to take such an action.

Bearing in mind of course we don't actually KNOW the motive, mind you.

87 Leftwingers Praise Murder of CEO, Call for Assassination of Elon Musk;
The "Defending Democracy" Media Has No Comment, Sees No Reason to Condemn


This is a big reason why I have not yet gotten excited about anything regarding the President Trump election win and all his announcements for government positions. I worry the country may be going back to the 60s when political assassinations were normal. I'm bracing myself for the Deep State pulling something off between now and inauguration day or even on the day itself.

Not to mention, the entire federal government is full of Deep Staters who undermined the Trump Administration previously and are not going to now be removed easily.

Not to also mention, the fact that we've already had two attempted assassinations this year and they were swept under the rug as ho-hum, while the Marxist left continues to smear Trump, Musk and everyone in the next Administration as threats to the country.

And now they are praising this successful assassination and encouraging more. I worry about what the Deep State has planned next.

Posted by: gourmand du jour at

That is not correct, however what they are doing is certainly suspect. They have created some formula that calculates the time of anesthesia that is normal per procedure. This won’t apply to women giving birth and any complications that may arise or children. However, all other humans are not standard, and things happen. Some redheads need more anesthesia than others, as an example. It is not simple one hour and then done, however.

-------------------

First, has TayTay herself "watched a loved one suffer and die from insurance denial", or is she just being a journalism again?

Second, ok, let's go with those rules. If someone is a party to a system that results in a mortal tragedy, it's totally fair to wish that person the same fate. So if anyone had a loved one die alone because the COVID rules that were insisted and propagandized by TayTay, or suffer meaningful harm due to the lack of care available resulting from those rules, then it's fair to wish the same harm get revisited on TayTay. And if someone actually does harm her, well, we understand. Please show your face on the street, TayTay, to live by your code. Hopefully you won't have to 'rawdog the air' long...

The Very Online Left does not think war and strife will affect them. It's just social bullying. It's not even ideological, it's sociological.

They are the "in" group and hate the "out" group. They externalize all their self-loathing and blame someone else.

Because they have no faith, no knowledge of God, they have nothing to guide them other than rage. Some find comfort in crystals or vague "spiritual, not religious" that's because these beliefs are non-binding. Because they are all about transgression, breaking the rules is fine because all rules are oppressive.

This is, and always has been, a spiritual issue. We added a veneer of logical a few decades ago, but only succeeded in deceiving ourselves.

Yes! You get it.

Never forget that the Cold War was not won by tax cuts, it was won by direct appeals to God. Reagan's America was far more religious, and understood that Communism wasn't wrong because it failed to produce economically, it was wrong because it was evil.

In 1990s, we got away from that, until we were reduced to little Ben Shapiro blathering on about facts and reason - like any human society has ever cared about them. The Cult of Reason was tried and failed in a very bloody fashion. Faith alone can conquer. Everything else is just details and marketing.

It becomes a symbiotic relationship with State politicians. States mandate idiotic coverages, knowing the local businesses will not be hurt because they do not have to comply because of self insurance

I don’t wait for him in a lobby for my appointments. I got treated for Covid when others weren’t because doctors under insurance or hospital umbrella were being stripped of their licenses. My doctor quit all that when he was being told how to treat patients. I do have to pay for lab work, heavily discounted, and prescriptions though he partners with a pharmacy to help there. It’s not worth using the insurance plan I have for anything unless something catastrophic happens. Direct care is worth every penny.

Maybe there will be a silver lining to this CEO being killed. Something really has to be done about these so called health insurance companies.

As JFK said sometime ago, "Those who make peaceful protest impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable."

The truth is through the actions of his company he was a threat to people. With the ascension of Trump and his facist cabinet let's be honest we are in a fight they'll do it to us without shedding a tear.

When the murder of people by CEOs is legal and lauded, eventually there is blowback:
One type of murder is OK.
One is not.
This creates a lot of resentment and morally ambiguous behavior.

The role of the Elect in their twisted theology is to gloat as the Deplorables are fed into the fires of Hell. This is why they also take a victory lap when conservatives are killed in a natural disaster. "Where's your sky god now?"

138 I've gone through a few larger medical treatments. By far the worst bureaucratic hell I went through was dealing with a Dr's billing company.

There's not enough time in the day to tell you all of the details. The short version is I paid a bill that was a bit over $1,000 with a HSA card using the online company the billing company suggested.

I didn't hear another thing about it until I found out I was in collections. When I called them to find out what the hell was going on, they called off collections and did a quick check to see if they had received the money. They had not.

After literally MONTHS of trying to sort it out with the online company (we can't talk to you, you're not the customer, the Dr's office is the customer), my HSA card (we sent the money, we don't know what happened after that) and the Dr's office (we didn't get the money, give us the money), I finally had my HR representative talk to the Dr's billing office.

She got the billing office manager to look into it. To this point, he had utterly refused (I trust my people, I'm not getting involved). In less than 20 minutes, he located the money in some escrow account. They never apologized.

Hmm. Your insurance company won't pay for cancer screenings? I am inundated with requests/demands for annual mammograms, colonoscopy every 6-10 years, etc, as part of a "wellness" program that my insurer practically demands that I participate in.

They claim that screening is less expensive than treating cancer, which is true individually, but screening a thousand people is probably not less expensive than treating cancer for a single person. I could be wrong.

Anyway. I don't need a damned mammogram every year.

159 118 67 Piper is correct, although I believe that most businesses with with 100+ employees are self insured. It's better economically for businesses, it enables them to blame the insurance company for denials, and bet of all, it enables businesses to skirt state laws.
It becomes a symbiotic relationship with State politicians. States mandate idiotic coverages, knowing the local businesses will not be hurt because they do not have to comply because of self insurance

If a claim hits a certain value, the insurance company (or reinsurance company) will step in and start handling, or overseeing the handling by the corporation staff.

It was affordable, didn't cost more than my mortgage, and didn't dictate what I could see a doctor for or when. Now, it runs the medical business entirely.

It took me six months to get it straightened out. But even better was insurance refusing to pay for my PET scan because they deemed it unnecessary, even though it picked up cancer no one knew I had.

No, denied the current treatment per NCCN guidelines for my cancer - much more lethal.

That said, they did deny colonoscopies for me until I actually had symptoms, even though my dad died at 53. They said 10 years prior to his death or symptoms...nothing earlier preventive. Funny enough, my brothers (in NJ) got their insurance to approve it in their early 20s/30s after my dad's rapid death and both had polyps removed. Thankfully, I did not have that issue...

We shouldn't encourage murder, true. But we shouldn't encourage it because it's the final threshold of a stable society. If anyone hasn't noticed, regular people are suffering. To what extent should we allow the illusion of normalcy pushed by our pseudo-aristocracy to dictate the narrative of where the world stands? Is our world truly stable, or are we stuck in an illusion pushed along by the sheer mass of institutional inertia? We shouldn't mourn a man whose job, actions, and leadership intentionally deprive people of that to which they are entitled when such actions permit such suffering (regardless of your feelings about universal healthcare).

227 You too can self insure. Medical practices and pharmacies give deep discounts to not go through the insurance process to patients who pay direct.

Get catastrophic coverage to insure for major health issues.

There has got to be a disconnect, because insurance is heavily regulated with lots of mandates. I can't imagine a state regulatory commission approving this kind of plan where a patient has open-ended liabilities without any control over them.

This sounds like typical propaganda.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

People have exposed their souls. These are not musings or absence of thought.

Too many simply do not appreciate the threats emanating around them. Everything is not "insane" and "crazy". These threat actors are very deliberate and mindful.

251 We have United Health Care and they didn't dent us one thing last year. After my husband's 2 heart surgeries and 4 months in the hospital, the nurse advocate called me every day to ask how I was doing and what she needed to do to help us. I was stunned at the amount of hands on experience we had. Contrast that with my daughters experience of her regional director calling her out because of the expense of her cancer treatment last year. She said it was why everyone's premiums were going up.

Agree. This murderer had enough experience to be able to clear his pistol after it jammed. My suspicion is that the extra weight of the suppressor kept the slide from recoiling properly.

A professional would have already figured out that problem and made changes before "go time."
