    Unless this was forged by the NYPD to frame random hot guy from a very wealthy and connected conservative family who happened to have chronic back pain and a huge social media footprint - this is verified to be the real manifesto.

      Yeah the problem is that I do not trust NYPD enough to believe they wouldn’t frame someone, or even just fabricate a manifesto for the real killer to move them through a bullshit speedy trial.

        I can believe that but then why this target? Why not someone with a huge rap sheet and less political and financial connections?

      By whom? And how was it verified? The fact that he had a social media presence doesn’t mean anything, and can equally be argued that he would have just posted it online rather keep it hidden on his person.

        Ken Klippenstein has verified it amd he has a pretty good record with this sort of stuff.

        The scenario where this is an NYPD forgery is possible but extremely unlikely.
