Joseph Andrew Stack, identified as the pilot who crashed a stolen plane into the Echelon Building, which houses IRS offices, was found to have written an online manifesto. The Joseph Stack suicide note is more of a manifesto is an anti-big-brother rant, railing against the US tax and legal systems and its effect on everyday people.

According to existing registry information, embeddedart is registered to Joseph Stack. The reports of a Joseph Stack manifesto surfaced on Twitter, but we checked out the domain registry ourselves to be sure. The text of the manifesto also includes Joseph Stack's date of death: February 18, 2010.

The original site has been taken down, but the Joseph Stack suicide note text is archived at The Smoking Gun.
