As a 1960's societal mis-fit...I followed the reporting on the UnaBomber from the initial bombing in the late '70s, through the '80s into the conclusion in the '90s. His story, and the TRUE STORY of Tim McVey, tell us more than the murder and mayhem that they perpetrated...they tell us about the dark corners of our American system, our government, that will create such men for the weaponization of deep, acute KNOWLEDGE! Kazinsky and McVey were victims before they became killers. Allen Dulles gave his own son into this system! Like Lady MacBeth trying to clean her bloody hands..."Out, out damned spot!" We will never be free of our collective sins!

Probably the same meaning...Clay wanted big-government to be all-things to all-people; unless they were the 'little people' hidden away in the backwoods somewhere.

I read this. Then I downloaded and read the book. I'm just sort of stunned. "Stunned" isn't the right word.

I feel bad for Ted. He grew up being mind-fucked. His Dad calling him a creep. His mother not better. They broke him. Broke him hard. Harvard finished the breaking.

Ok, hey, I'm not calling Ted a hero or any such thing. Listen a moment. My Dad lied about his age and went to the Pacific for WW2. Said he was on Iwo when the flag was raised. And raised again after folks had their first shower in a month, raised again for the press to take photos. Then he went to Korea. Then 'Nam. Along the way he got a couple of Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star. I don't know what happened in 'Nam but that wasn't my Daddy that came home.

So PTSD whatever wasn't a thing. Dad never hit Mom or my sisters or little brother. But beat my ass for almost anything, for stuff I had no control of. Like a sister flunked a math class? My fault. Somehow. We went to different schools but "my fault". Illogical.

One epic beating gave me a couple of hard whacks to the nuts with the belt buckle. That hurt. Swole up like having a grapefruit in my underwear. Limping at school for a few days was fun. Just go to school, come home, go to my room. Eat? Nope.

He sent Mom to check on me. Not him checking on his son. Yeah, no mom, I'm not showing you. I've got this hair stuff starting to grow. But you can tell him he's getting no grandchildren from me.

Anyway, I grew up being called a fucking dummy.

I managed. I'm not a dummy.

you're not a dummy. you never were.

the system that broke Ted is the same system that told your dad to go to three wars and come home fine. he wasn't fine. and you paid for it.

institutions put their hands on people and never take them off. the damage passes down.

glad you're here. glad you managed.

I'm not a dummy The various tests in school put my IQ at 135. Maybe that's true.. Dunno

I'm smart enough to know I don't know.

So sorry for you. I too had an abusive father. I know his father was also but it is no excuse.

I was the youngest of five. The last time he hit me I was 15. In total fear I hit him back and said you will never touch me again. That was the end of it.

I carried the scars all my life and struggled to find confidence and security within myself.

But today I know I am a good person

I met so many people that endure the same thing.

I wonder. May be sometimes this kind of evil makes us more resilient and strong?

Thank you for sharing

To a large extent, the brainwashing/disassembly/reassembly pattern is repeated on a large scale in our primary, secondary and tertiary education systems. And a few religious sects which includes certain political movements. It is very difficult to overcome, but I did see one or two cult followers be at least partially deprogrammed, but with persistent personality traits that I would describe as maladaptive. One of my wives passed it on to our son, unfortunately. Somehow I missed this information on TK over the years. I really didn’t pay that much attention to his case. Thanks for this work.

I've now bought 5 of your books from amazon - soon I shall have a library of your amazing insight into the human condition over the ages -best history education I've received in the past hmmmm 70years .....I look forward to this one as I often think Ted had a perfect life for one second in the woods - too bad he sought some relief from perhaps a mission to right perceived wrongs.

out soon in physical form, and you will not be disappointed.

Makes one wonder about Epstein’s affiliations and associations with Harvard….didn’t he even have an arrangement that gave him an office to call his own when he was on campus? Seems like I recall that….

I am so sick of the demons infesting human skin suits that do these dreadful, horrific things - and never pay the price for it. That price falls onto the beautiful humans they damage so thoroughly and completely; and after they commit the horrible acts they have been programmed into doing.

My heart hurts for that brilliant young man that became so broken. One wonders what he might have discovered and issues he might have solved, who he might have become?

You missed something there EKO - They sealed the information, but not the experiment. The damaged experiment they left wandering the mountains.

When will we destroy the see-eye-aye, Harvard and anything like them? How many more are still wandering from other debilitating programs?

Break the machine, indeed.

MK-Ultra and other experiments were paid for by DoD and performed on "consenting" subjects who no doubt had no idea what was being done to them. The old show FRINGE, now streaming, is five seasons of exposing this as Revelation of the Method.

Sometimes, people shouldn't have children. Many times the government should leave us alone.

I covered Ted’s manifesto in a post I did back in 2024. I still think it is worth reviewing. https://open.substack.com/pub/palandrome/p/we-can-submit-or-we-can-stand?r=qco8g&utm_medium=ios
