The burning man who set himself on fire outside the Donald Trump hush money trial in New York City has been identified via a manifesto he left behind.
Current Events :
On Friday while several news organizations were broadcasting live on the air, a man outside the New York City courthouse conducting jury selection for the Trump trial threw a fist full of flyers into the air, doused himself in a liquid substance, then set himself on fire. The burning man has since been identified as 37-year-old Max Azzarello. Although he initially survived the horrendous act, Azzarello succumbed to his suicidal stunt and passed away on Saturday.
According to the NYPD, Azzarello was a Florida resident who arrived in New York City earlier in the week. Witnesses say they saw him appear in front of the courthouse, open a book bag, scatter papers and pamphlets on the ground, douse himself with an accelerant, then set himself on fire.
Nearby civilians and court officers immediately sprung into action and attempted to use coats and extinguishers to put out the fire. Eventually, the New York City Fire Department arrived, extinguished the fire, and rushed Azzarello to the hospital.
In a report from NEWSWEEK, the burning man left a scannable QR code on a sign he was carrying and the pamphlets he tossed. The code linked to a manifesto he created entitled “I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial.”
Inside the manifesto, Azzarello (who authorities say was caught up in conspiracy theories) described himself as an investigative researcher. He explained that he set himself on fire as an “extreme act of protest” to draw attention to his belief that the citizens of the world “are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.”
He went on to make wild allegations regarding the United States government, prominent universities, US presidents and other American politicians, The Simpsons, COVID, Jeffrey Epstein, cryptocurrency, and more. His claims crossed all party lines and attacked government officials from every facet of the political spectrum.
Here is a snippet of the manifesto:
As it turns out, our elites are awash in Ponzi schemes. Stanford’s StartX.com investment fund and Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Program for Evolutionary Dynamics’ he ran at Harvard are both fake-science Ponzi factories that these schools have invested billions in: They are filled with fraudulent companies that use smoke and mirrors to promise miraculous new technology, but always collapse while the perpetrators only get richer. …
To better understand our form of government, I will point you to one of the most astonishing pieces of stand-alone evidence I’ve found: Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton’s 1988 DNC speech where he nominated Mike Dukakis for president against George H.W. Bush. The speech is a vile, mean-spirited roast of Dukakis that makes no sense whatsoever: For Clinton to ruthlessly attack a member of his own party should have been political suicide, and he repeatedly mocks Dukakis’ noble and earnest qualities.
Notably, actor Rob Lowe, who was supporting Dukakis, was victim of a teen sex blackmail operation at the DNC that year. Since we know Clinton is a close associate with teen sex blackmail artist Jeffrey Epstein, we can suddenly make perfect sense of the nonsensical speech by applying this lens: Bill Clinton is a cocky mob boss who blackmailed Mike Dukakis because Dukakis thought his job was to help the public. He teases out the future public revelation that Kitty Dukakis drank rubbing alcohol, and offers a strange anecdote about the crack epidemic that reveals he is an exceedingly proud drug runner.
What does this revelation tell us? That our government is conning us completely. That Bill Clinton was secretly on (former CIA Director) George H.W. Bush’s side, and that the Democrat vs. Republican division has been entirely manufactured ever since: Clinton is with Bush; Gore is with Bush; Trump is with Hillary, and so on. When they present themselves in public, they are acting as characters that are against one another, practicing kayfabe as wrestlers do.

Family members and friends of the burning man described him as a good person who developed “mental health issues.”
“He was a really good kid who got really far down socialist rabbit holes,” said a family source who added that Azzarello once worked as a grassroots Democratic organizer. “He was just a really decent kid, like a really well-meaning guy” and a “very old school hippie,” the source recalled.
“I hope you know how powerful you are. I wish you a hell of a lot more than luck,” Azzarello said in concluding his protest.
