Not many people know that before Ted Kaczynski became the notorious Unabomber, he had been a test subject in a CIA mind control project. It was announced on Saturday that he was found dead in his cell. Apparently, he put himself out of his own medical related misery at the age of 81.
Unabomber once a CIA guinea pig
Unabomber Ted Kaczynski was always a colorful character. The anarchist evaded capture for two decades by making all of his devices entirely by hand, even the springs and screws. That left nothing to trace. As fate would have it, one of his demands became his eventual downfall.
He offered to stop sending bombs to those he felt deserved them if a “major news outlet” would publish his 35,000 word “manifesto.” When not one but two papers ran it, his brother recognized the writing style and turned him in.
Kaczynski earned the Unabomber nickname before his real identity was known. The FBI was looking for a University and Airline Bomber so used UNABOM as the case designation. Once a “boy genius,” Harvard and the CIA turned him into a domestic terrorist. If not directly, they certainly had their parts to play in his mental drama.
Did you know?

He went from “a star mathematics student to a feared assailant who targeted academics, scientists and industrialized society as a whole.” Experts actually agree with many of the things he wrote in his manifesto, but they weren’t willing to admit that back then.
After skipping sixth grade, then 11th, then 16-year-old Kaczynski entered Harvard on a scholarship. “It was there that he was subjected to an experiment run by Harvard psychologist Henry A. Murray that was backed by the Central Intelligence Agency.” The agency claims it’s only a coincidence that he would become the Unabomber.
He graduated from the Ivy League university with a mathematics degree. He went on to earn a doctorate and then became a professor. Nobody brought it up then but with hindsight, people today wonder to what extent “he was affected by the experiment, which reportedly involved mock interrogations in which participants’ beliefs were harshly disparaged.” As a borderline Schizophrenic, that certainly couldn’t have helped.
Part of MK-Ultra
The CIA was doing a lot of goat staring back in those days. “Murray’s study was widely reported to be part of a CIA program code-named Project MK-Ultra, inspired by the use of mind-control techniques on U.S. prisoners of war in Korea by the Soviet Union, China and North Korea.” They dosed anyone they could get their hands on, willing or not, with everything under the sun they could think of. “The program sought to understand how to control subjects’ minds, sometimes using substances such as LSD, according to a document the CIA made publicly available in 2018.”
There aren’t any records that they used “LSD or similar substances” at Harvard or on Kaczynski. They weren’t out to create the Unabomber, the CIA “attempted to produce a perfect truth drug for use in interrogating suspected Soviet spies during the Cold War and generally to explore any other possibilities of mind control.” Kaczynski’s mind couldn’t be controlled.
In June of 2000, an article came out linking “Kaczynski’s experiences at Harvard — his studies, overlapping with his roughly three-year participation in Murray’s experiment,” with the creation of a domestic terrorist. “Thus did Kaczynski’s Harvard experiences shape his anger and legitimize his wrath,” wrote professor Alston Chase. “By the time he graduated, all the elements that would ultimately transform him into the Unabomber were in place.”
For those wondering why people are saying RIP King for the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, this will give you a little insight I imagine.
I myself never paid any attention to him, the event, or his statements about our society, but, clearly he spoke concise facts of it. pic.twitter.com/QAU3ieJn9m

Part of Murray’s experiment was to “put subjects under mock interrogations, with blinding spotlights and verbal abuse.” The “Harvard study also involved asking the participants to write essays explaining their worldviews, which were then picked apart by interrogators.” He wrote one heck of an essay about his worldview in his manifesto. The CIA sessions were described as “vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive.”
The explosive devices hand made by Kaczynski, then either mailed or hand delivered, “killed three people and injured 23 others.” According to psychologist Nigel Barber, “The Harvard experiment was stressful and stress aggravates the symptoms of schizophrenia. Otherwise, it would be a mistake to exaggerate the importance of this experience, or to see it as a major determinant of his anti-science and anti-technology political views.”
As the Unabomber himself wrote in his manifesto, “Scientists work mainly for the fulfillment they get out of the work itself. Thus science marches on blindly, without regard to the real welfare of the human race or to any other standard, obedient only to the psychological needs of the scientists and of the government officials and corporation executives who provide the funds for research.” He spent 20 years living in a 13 x 13 foot shack smaller than the cell he died in. He spent those 20 years trying to kill as many of the people who ticked him off as possible. The CIA will never claim a single bit of responsibility for it and nobody in America wonders why it was Harvard that Jeffrey Epstein had a private office at.
