Money Pours in for Accused Killer Luigi Mangione: A Nation Faces a Moral Reckoning
LUIGI MANGIONE AND SARTRE ON TRIAL: FREEDOM, MORALITY, AND THE AMERICAN ORDER
A Dialogue on American Truth, Justice, and the Collapse of Moral Philosophy
ST. JOHNS, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / April 5, 2025 /With more than $800,000 raised for the legal defense of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of the cold-blooded assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, Americans are witnessing more than a controversial trial-they are witnessing a cultural and moral collapse decades in the making.
A recent conversation-published today as "Luigi Mangione and Sartre on Trial: Freedom, Morality, and the American Order"-goes beyond surface-level outrage to expose the true ideological rot behind Mangione 's growing support: the death of objective morality and the rise of existential justification for violence.
In this recorded exchange between Manuel P. Asensio, the Chairman of St. Johns Republican Presidential Committee (St. Johns GOP) and ELIOR, St. GOP GPT, a stark moral confrontation unfolds. The dialogue traces the philosophical foundations that allow acts of evil to be excused in the name of grievance, "liberation," or ideological cause. At the center of that critique is Jean-Paul Sartre-whose atheistic, relativistic philosophy has influenced a generation to believe that good and evil are matters of personal choice, not eternal law.
"This trial is not just about Luigi," says Asensio. "It is about whether America still believes in right and wrong-whether we still recognize evil when it stares us in the face."
The discussion also calls out institutions that have promoted philosophical systems like Sartre 's while undermining the American founding principles-that liberty is only possible when grounded in divine truth, not subjective will.
The authors argue that this case symbolizes the collision between two irreconcilable worldviews: the Judeo-Christian foundation of American law, and the existentialist belief that man is his own god.
The full conversation has been compiled into a document, now released to the public, with an original cover image symbolizing the trial not just of a man-but of a nation 's soul.
Manuel P. Asensio is the founder of Asensio & Company, the accredited Pioneer of Activist Short Selling, and author of Sold Short: Uncovering Deception in the Markets. He is the Chairman of St. Johns Republican Presidential Committee the GOP 's advocate of a new federal judiciary policy. Mr. Asensio is the movant of the nation 's first Consideration of national policy making at the US Judicial Conference.
