Unabomber - Ted Kaczynski - Forgotten History

For almost 20 years the nation was following the sporadic and insane activities of someone called the Unabomber, who sent or delivered bombs as packages to what appeared to be random victims. There seemed to be no rational reason for the attacks, as the victims seemed to have little in common, and in fact they did not even know each other. The lack of a common denominator was the reason the Federal Bureau of Investigation launched the most expensive manhunt in its long history. What was his prediction about Artificial Intelligence that seems to be coming to fruition? Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

Unabomber - Ted Kaczynski - Forgotten History

[ronobrien]

He said that we would become slaves to technology. Now we have a generation of people addicted to their phones.

[shinzoruck]

Same psychologist who worked with the CIA.. Imagine that

[thomasgilmore]

He was going to Harvard and was asked if he would to help with a special project. He probably didn’t realize it at the the time but, he had just volunteered to be the next MK-Ultra mind control victim.

[jensenchavez]

His methods were flawed but his warnings have proven true.

[donalddon]

And nothing ever happened to the guy who conducted the psychological experiments, the most responsible. Somethings never changes.

[rossbabcock]

I read Kaczynski's manifesto. If you look past the paranoid, sociopathic ramblings, it has been strangely prophetic. Great video!

[cheddagg]

His mind was literally still developing whilst having all these EXPERIMENTS done to him...i have empathy for this person

[tedkaczynski]

I was a friend of Ted's and one of the publishers of his 2nd book. I can tell you that TK never saw himself as evil, but rather as a revolutionary figure, fighting for a cause he truly believed benefitted us all. I genuinely believe history will someday reevaluate the work and ideas he left behind.

[samueltucker]

Great potential lost due to 'educational institution abuse' yet it continues

[tobingallawa]

MK Ultra victim. No doubt he had unique insight into what is going on in the world

[FOX-umwr]

It makes one think that Henry Murray the controversial psychologist, had anything to do with how Ted Kaczynski turned out. Took a young man who already seem to be a recluse, had some phycological problems to begin with, and flipped a switch somewhere in his brain that exacerbated his issues. I don't know, just a thought. The psychologist sounds very strange himself. Great content, looking forward to your next history upload.

[andrewbatts]

His work in the field of theoretical quadratics is very important and is still used in a number of industries to this day

[Stanley.]

All these years, I thought it was "Unibomber" as in a "lone bomber." I didn't realize it was "Unabomber, " with "Una" as an abbreviated version of university and airlines. Well I'll be damned, I learned something new today!

[samtatge]

Harvard, Skull and Bones, CIA, MK Ultra.
Never mind, I’m a conspiracy theorist.

[JT-sibl]

Off the bat, the biggest and most perverted thing he was subjected to happened within the first year of his life. He was traumatized deeply by being taken from his family - who were not allowed to pick him up or see much of him for months, as he was in the ward of other infants in exactly the same situation - subjected to 'treatment' that was not disclosed... But his mom and dad knew something was real big a problem. His family speaks of his trauma, while addressing their own trauma of witnessing a 'secretive therapy' subjected to their newborn. That's evil.
You could say Ted was always an experiment under the eye of some gov sponsored psyops.

[medicineinyourkitchen]

Mysterious death deemed suicide. ..where have I heard that before?

[Satchmoeddie]

We were calling the old Motorola brick, & early flip phones "electronic leashes" by 1990. 10 years later I was carrying a Sprint Nextel phone my bosses could turn on remotely and wake me up a 2:30 AM and demand I report for work when I just had got home from a 10 hour work day at midnight. 20 years later, the smart phone tracks your movements, spies on you, listens in on you and it even controls the information you get.

[losthart]

Janet Reno. The real Villian in American history.

[mattcorriere]

I remember reading about him and the trial. This was when I first realized there was something wrong with the media, but I couldn't put my finger on it for many more years.

[CPDheadstomp]

I recall the media not reporting his motives. They said it’s best not read to the public. Then his manifesto was leaked and people started seeing him differently. I just wish he didn’t send bombs to people. But then I doubt we would never know his name.
