It is interesting how often genius is associated with mental illness. I know a young man who was an honor student at Stanford, but had a breakdown while he was there and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. What really surprised me is that the docs at the university hospital were not particularly surprised at this occurring. They told us they have students have these breakdowns and diagnoses all the time there. What surprised them is that the young man’s parents flew out to California within HOURS of receiving the call. The docs said most parents don’t bother coming.

I am sure the fellow Harvard alums are super-embarrassed at their classmate being the infamous Unabomber. I bet none of them remember him. After all, his name wasn’t Kennedy and he never ran for President.

Name wasn’t Kennedy, didn’t diddle 19 yar old intern and ask her to “take care of that guy there”, didn’t boff a Mafia babe friend of Sam Gianaciano, or Marilyn Monroe and then have his people kill her to protect him and his AG brother Bobby and didn’t realize kidnapping Carlos Marcellos bought them both the bullet of a lifetime. For his faults Ted K. may have been the better Harvard man. For a laugh YouTube Nikki Muellar song ” The Ivy League Hustle_ I Went to Princeton, Bitch” WARNING- some raw language but funny.

Yes, there is much more to the Theodore Kaczynski story than the media has portrayed about him. And there is much that Harvard should feel shame about. Alton Chase, who also graduated from Harvard, and, like Kaczynski, also fled industrialized life by moving to Montana, did some exhaustive research into Kaczynski, and concluded that Harvard’s promotion of “cultural or moral relativism” had an important role in Kaczynski’s development, and its terrible results. Chase wrote about this in “Harvard and the Unabomber: The Education of an American Terrorist” (2003).

Here’s a good summation from Booklist by Gilbert Taylor:
—-
Chase, who, like Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski, graduated from Harvard and fled academe for the Montana wilderness, here offers a new slant on the triple murderer and doctor of philosophy. According to the author, the philosophical roots of Kaczynski’s anti-industrialism began with Harvard’s curriculum in the late 1950s. Chase writes that it cultivated the view, later to be called cultural or moral relativism, that democratic society and its institutions were sheer power relations and bereft of intrinsic value. Chase then sets forth the etymology, so to speak, of the killer’s more particular thoughts, concluding that Kaczynski was a cherry picker among quite old and common execrations of technology. Tying in the killer’s personal rages, Chase suggests that social awkwardness and participation in a traumatizing psychological experiment (led by the unorthodox psychologist Henry A. Murray) underlay Kaczynski’s exaltation in planning and “justifying” his crimes. It takes an intellectual to think like that, and Chase astutely and provocatively delineates Kaczynski’s metamorphosis into a Raskolnikov.

Chase also makes a case for the idea that Harvard’s “cultural or moral relativism” is the basis for modern terrorism, and that Kaczynski was one of its results. See “A Mind for Murder: The Education of the Unabomber and the Origins of Modern Terrorism” (2003).

Each of these books addresses the psychological experiments at Harvard that were conducted on Kaczynski, who was code-named “Lawful” as a test subject. Those experiments were conducted by Dr. Henry A. Murray, who was also a member of the OSS (Office of Strategic Services), a precursor to the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency).

Well before the time of the experiments on Kaczynski, Murray and the CIA were performing expriements with “LSD 25,” an hallucinogen based on a chemical compound created by Dr. Albert Hoffman in 1938. Harvard was the key center for Murray’s and the CIA’s experiments on subjects taking LSD.

According to Harvard protocol at the time of the psychological experiments on Kaczynski, the experiments performed on Kaczynski would have been filmed. But those, of course, have vanished and Harvard hasn’t released much of the files on the Kaczynski experiements. If those films/records haven’t been destroyed by Harvard and/or the CIA, then they have been locked away with tight security.

Although we don’t know whether or not Kaczynski was administered LSD as part of Murray’s experiments at Harvard, it seems more likely than not that he was given LSD. Murray and Harvard were very much into LSD experiements both before and after the Kaczynski experiments. (Although the public knows next to nothing about Murray, much of the public is familiar with Murray’s protege, Dr. Timothy Leary, who also conducted LSD psychological experiments at Harvard on behalf of the CIA.)

Here’s a link to an interesting article on Murray and Kaczynski from the Harvard Crimson: “Murray Center Seals Kaczynski Data” by Kirsten G. Studlien (2000).

Riley, I certainly welcome intelligent opposing opinions, but something is missing from your posts: the intelligent component. Perhaps you would be better off posting where your opinions will automatically be deemed intelligent, such as Mediamatters, Stormfront, Loonwatch, etc. They will welcome you with open arms without changing a thing and laud your “wisdom.”

Riley/Rashid/Mohammed/Achmed, show me ANY type of evidence and proof where Debbie said that the youths in the Norway shootings deserved to die? She NEVER said anything like you motherfreaking dumbass lunatic troll. If I were Debbie, I would come onto this blog, trace you’re IP handle, email you and file a “libel/defamtion” lawsuit against for slandering her and taking her words of out context. And yes we have “defamation” laws in this country, and if you dare cross the line and start libeling and slandering people, it can get you into ALOT of trouble.

And Skzion, this looney troll has been trolling on this blog for the last few days, making a complete ass out of his/her/it’s self!
