According to reports, a recently emerged manifesto attributed to the man who set himself on fire outside the lower Manhattan courthouse where Trump's hush money trial takes place appears to be purely driven by political motives.
Identified as Max Azzarello, he allegedly maintains a Substack page titled "The Ponzi Papers," with his latest entry titled: "I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial."
In the opening lines, Azzarello declares his extreme act as a means to spotlight a pressing revelation, writing: "My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan. This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery."
He continued, boldly asserting: "We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup."
The manifesto includes references to a complex conspiracy involving cryptocurrencies and governmental collusion, echoing themes from Azzarello's recent social media activity.
"I hope you know how powerful you are. I wish you a hell of a lot more than luck," he concluded the lengthy manifesto.
