Cops Warn CEO Bodyguards That #LuigiMangione Fever Could Spark #ClassWar

Cops warned corporate bodyguards that “challenges faced by the middle and lower classes” might spur attacks on wealthy #CEOS.

"A law enforcement intelligence hub in New Jersey fretted that the growing class divide in the U.S. could drive a wave of lone-wolf attacks on high-flying corporate executives, according to a report obtained by The Intercept.

"The New Jersey Regional Operations and Intelligence Center, one of the so-called #FusionCenters that serve as intelligence clearinghouses for cops, warned in a bulletin earlier this year that disaffected Americans were increasingly blaming society’s ills on #RichPeople and #CorporateBigwigs.

"The report specifically cited the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024 — allegedly by Luigi Mangione — as an expression of #AntiFatCat rhetoric. To the analysts at the New Jersey fusion center, Thompson’s killing hinted at a larger trend.

" 'Public discourse increasingly attributes the challenges faced by the middle and lower classes to the actions and influence of wealthy #corporateexecutives,' the fusion center memo says.

"By warning corporate security outfits of the danger posed by average Americans who blame their problems on the actions of corporate executives, the report effectively dedicates public resources to securing a private system that has made the few extremely wealthy at the expense of the many."

#CostOfLiving #Austerity #BrexitReality

"#Austerity, ageing infrastructure, a cumbersome planning system, global energy shocks, and the long tail of #Brexit have all contributed to a single failure: the inability of either the state or the market to build, invest and provide necessities at the scale and cost required. A central source of the problem was the #privatisation of essential services that transferred responsibility from public providers mandated to meet social needs to private actors with a mandate for profitability alone."

'[ #Starmer’s] government broke promise after promise. Its housebuilding revolution failed to materialise. “No return to #austerity” gave way to departmental squeezes. International aid was gutted. Meanwhile, #Labour’s internal authoritarianism was exported to the country. Thousands were arrested for holding placards after anti- #genocide direct action group #Palestine Action were proscribed as terrorists on the same legal footing as Islamic State. '

Look at Keir Starmer’s tenure as prime minister. This is no ‘decent man’ who got unlucky

From Gaza to the Peter Mandelson row, his abandoned pledges to the ‘island of strangers’ claim, Starmer’s time at No 10 was truly dismal, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

“Starmer has never put the country first – not even in his final, insipid act”

“Starmer’s legacy isn’t one of service – it’s one of spectacular, self-inflicted failure, and we have been screaming it from the rooftops since he first donned that red tie and started sounding like a Tory in denial.

Let’s start with the Gaza betrayal, because nothing exposes the utterly hollow core of Starmerism quite like it”

Starmer has never put the country first - not even in his final, insipid act

Starmer, the man who promised to deliver “change” with all the revolutionary fervour of a Lib Dem focus group, has slithered out of Number 10
