The National Petroleum Radio published an authorized article on Ted Kaczynski’s death written by the Empire’s mouthpiece the Associated Press. (Orwell warned us about doublespeak) The link is below.
The piece never once shares why millions of people see Kaczynski as a heroic, albeit tragic, rebel hero who foresaw our dark future (now) and tried to fight it. Nor is there mention of his excellent books written while in prison. The piece portrays him as a dirty, weird, and even paranoid schizophrenic based on one “professional’s” observation. Though he never heard voices, nor had delusions. (I have known actual paranoid schizophrenics and they are not able to differentiate reality from delusion/hallucination, let alone write coherent, intelligent books or manifestos.)
He lived off-grid. He grew his own food. He was thoughtful and introspective and not a shopper. Ergo, he cray cray. I think many off-grid preppers would take issue with that diagnosis
Kaczynski was not crazy.
As Jiddu Krishnamurti wrote “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
And Arundhati Roy: “Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness- and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we're being brainwashed to believe. The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling - their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.”
Kaczynski was justifiably horrified and enraged by this brutal empire that steals souls, destroys lives, and wages endless wars maiming and murdering millions more than Kaczynski’s little homemade bombs ever could.
This empire, which refuses to offer its citizens living wages, healthcare, housing, clean water, safe food or safe neighborhoods, nor peace, prefers to steal our money to wage endless resource wars, and silence our truthtellers like Ed Snowden, Julian Assange, and every Black Panther still rotting in prison for absolutely no reason at all.
Kaczynski saw through the psyop of this pseudo benevolent Empire that is really grinding the world to dust. He had to be silenced because he could not be quiet about it.
Kaczynski was just one more of the tens of thousands of political prisoners the US locks away permanently to “protect” us.
He killed three adults. Meanwhile mass shootings have murdered hundreds this year including dozens of children thanks to the NRA and the military industrial complex which profits off your fears and deaths. Neither the NRA not those who are the MIC are in prison.
Ted is finally at peace.
Our struggle continues, though we have already lost to those who perpetuate the grinding of our planet into dust for obscene profit.

Thanks for this. I stand with everything you wrote. Life is complicated. I've read plenty of stuff about Ted and the way the machine writes about Ted is very telling. If people want to read coherent writing from a living person who doesn't have the baggage of action they saddle Ted with to alienate his message, read anything by John Zerzan. Well done, Pauline. Brave & bold.
Thank you for sharing this tribute of an aspect of Ted Kacizynski that few people have bothered to examine. I see no need to downplay the damage he did in trying to wake the masses. He was one of many who have demonstrated how futile it is to take such drastic approaches.
I urge others to do their own explorations of Kaczynski’s warnings and suggestions. They can begin with his last book titled Anti-Tech Revolution: Why and How. Check out the review section under the book posted at Amazon.
