Before going on with this post let us first deal with the moral question of reading the manifesto of a man who killed people.
If we removed all the writings of everyone who did that, and the books about anyone who did that, we would slash a measurable fraction of the English Cannon. Of course, Kazinsky is a little different in that one could argue that he killed people in order to get his work published. As opposed to say, Winston Churchill who found himself needing to kill a great deal of people to preserve the lives and liberties of millions upon millions more. Innocents at that. Perhaps its somewhat like the issue of using medical data created by the Nazis in their experiments on people. If you use that data to reduce suffering and save lives it gives purpose to the suffering and death of the victims. If you destroy it, its insult to injury.
Another data point.
Ted Kazinsky was a victim of MK Ultra. The CIA mind control experiments which involved brutal psychological and chemical torture of innocents. Frankly, one wonders why Kazinsky didn’t go after the people who did that to him. As should the Montreal mental patients secretly given LSD as part of the same program. And they weren’t even American.
This site has pushed a miniseries called Dopesick. We promoted it a lot. Its an amazing series. It is that perfect story that helps people come to the realization that Fauci and the US government are guilty as a group of political psychopaths standing next to a murdered, famous and beautiful actress. When people realize that US regulatory bodies had colluded with drug companies before to make heapum big cash, it makes it easier to understand that they did it again with the vaxx.
There is another series people may enjoy if they are interested enough in this whole drama. Manhunt: The Unabomber. A multipart series about the cop who figured out who the UNABOMBER was, and after he was jailed awaiting trial, talked him into a guilty plea as the authorities really didn’t have enough to convict him. Its a gripping series.
When his manifesto was first published, I read it a few times. Like anything else, it has some interesting observations, was right about some things and wrong about some others. Agreed with some, disagreed with others.
For anyone interested, here it is in audio format along with another video about him.
So if we, as good people, struggle to decide if we would use the data from say, Dr. Mengele even to save lives and reduce suffering, then the debate over whether evil people would use data from a program like MK Ultra would use that data to squeeze more authoritarian control over the public and increase suffering in the process, and of course in the result, is an easy one to answer.
They would, they can, and they most probably are.
The video below claims to be the complete manifesto read out loud. Of course, in the Orwellian world we live in, its hard to say if its a forgery or not. My copy from whatever paper I got it from is long gone along with my Intel 33 MHz. DX2 PC and its 4 megs of ram and floppy B disk drive I had at around the same time.
You have to watch on YouTube apparently. But given the interested his death will generate, it probably doesn’t put you on a list if you watch this now. He however, would probably say it will. I would listen to him.
Had I read of his death in custody 20 years ago I would have dismissed it with a quick thought: “Good riddance to an evil bastard.” But having since learned about MK-ULTRA and other horrific Deep State practices (including the importation, protection and professional elevation of many truly evil NAZI scientists after WWII), my immediate thought upon reading your headline was: “What a terrible tragedy this man’s life was.” He did have free will and is accountable for the horrible death and maiming he perpetrated. But he is also a victim of horrible crimes perpetrated by government bureaucrats and their academic lackeys — NONE of whom have paid any price for their demonic experiments and destruction of human beings who were never given the option of informed consent for they did not even know what was being done to them. Highly recommend watching the series Manhunt: The Unabomber. Then study up on the many horrific Deep State programs. Ted Kazinski’s life & crimes are not the simple morality tale the MSM would have us believe.
I know nothing about this man other than his name, nickname and that he killed people.
However, when I read the above, the thought comes to mind of Rudolph Hess in Spandau prison being murdered at the end of his life because, I believe, he was a political inconvenience.
There is absolutely nothing in common between Ted Kazinsky and Rudolph Hess other than the fact that both were rightly sentenced to life in prison without parole for the horrific choices they each made to harm and kill other innocent human beings. There is nothing in the least tragic about Hess’s life and he was in no way a victim of anything beyond his OWN evil life choices. Hess employed all the many advantages to which he was born and raised to be a genocidal predator leading to the destruction of Europe and the deaths of tens of millions of people. He was a grown man, a combat veteran, the scion of a wealthy upper class German family that ensured he lived an elite life growing up internationally. Hess used all these privileges to independently ally himself with Hitler and the NAZI party, devoting himself to crafting and executing their evil agendas.
Rebel News on how people really thought. Imagine that. The majority were willing to punish others who refused a toxic nanotechnology. Kaczinsky wrote that better tech would accelerate the development of still better tech. Nanotech is perhaps the biggest kid on that block. Playing God with the building blocks of life while playing with the toys in our heads:

No cop tracked Kazinsky down. His brother turned him in.
Yes on the brother and his wife. But as I recall from the miniseries, a cop had figured out who it was based on a linguistic analysis of the essay and other factors. One of which, was that Ted used the expression, “You can’t eat your cake and have it too” which everyone else quotes incorrectly. This and similar clues led him to suspect Kazinsky before the call from family.
