Chapter 363: Small Chat
Rosie nodded and continued.
"Kaczynski was not originally a lunatic. He once firmly supported technological progress and believed that science can make the world a better place."
This time his words made everyone Everyone looked at him sideways, and even the "Almighty Encyclopedia" Rhett rarely showed a surprised expression.
“I always thought that the idea that Kaczynski had mental problems due to his participation in the ‘MKUltra’ research project was just a conspiracy theory.”
Rossi sighed, "Unfortunately, this conspiracy theory is true. Although almost all the 'MKUltra' project data was ordered to be destroyed by the then CIA Director Richard Helms in 1973, only more than 20,000 An unknown record survived.
But what the world didn’t know was that the FBI kept most of the copies of this plan.”
Everyone suddenly became energetic and gathered together with glasses of wine in their hands. In front of Xi, they formed a circle around him, with light in their eyes and gossip in their hearts. This was the dark history of the CIA, and the FBI said they liked hearing it the most.
In fact, everyone has heard of the "MKUltra" project. This was the first time in the history of the Federation that an armistice agreement without victory was signed after the end of the war.
That is, in 1953, some prisoners of war who were unwilling to return home, and some who praised the enemy after returning home, made the authorities suspect that the evil Eastern country used drugs to brainwash their "poor" soldiers. Or mind control technology.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why these gentlemen from developed countries would voluntarily stay in that hellish place where they didn't even have enough to eat. Even those who were willing to come back were full of compliments.
So the "MKUltra" project was launched to study similar mind control technology.
These techniques include but are not limited to drug control, mental hypnosis, sensory deprivation, psychological suggestion, as well as the use of verbal abuse, abuse, sleep deprivation and even various tortures.
This project was extremely large. Before it was officially stopped in 1973, it probably extended to about 200 words, involving most European countries including North America, Oceania and the United Kingdom.
These countries and regions, including many university laboratories and secret prisons in the Federation, are involved in this project. They recruit volunteers while deliberately concealing the risks, and even use drugs directly on unsuspecting people. .
There are also many famous figures among them, such as Ken Kesey, the author of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
As well as another pillar of shame for the FBI, the gang leader who has been on the run for 17 years and the former FBI informant, James Joseph Bulger, has all participated in related experiments voluntarily or forcedly.
Rosie took a sip of the wine in the glass and slowly told the secret of the year.
“In 1958, when Kaczynski was 16 years old, he was admitted to Harvard University as a genius, and then he met Dr. Henry Murray, who changed his life.
Henry Murray, who was a professor of psychology at Harvard University at the time, packaged an experiment aimed at destroying people's inner consciousness and beliefs into a debate in order to cooperate with the CIA's 'MKULTRA' project."
"In 1959, when Kaczynski was 17 years old, he signed up for this test project, and then he was taken into Dr. Murray's laboratory.
After he wrote an article about his inner After writing a paper on why science can make the world a better place, he was assigned to debate with a law student."
"He was tested during the debate. The heartbeat electrode faced a one-way mirror, but what he didn't know was that his opponent was not a person. The researchers disassembled his paper word for word and conducted targeted analysis.
Then. Through the mouth of this law student, he was ridiculed and belittled from all angles. "Dr. Murray would also film the entire process with a camera, and then show Kaczynski a picture-by-frame review and point him out. The expression of helpless fury when you are unable to respond to the ridicule and offensive words, and then use it to continue to humiliate him. ”
"This is not fair. This is not a debate, but a disguised interrogation." Emily's face turned a little red. She didn't know whether it was because of drinking or because she felt angry about Kaczynski.
“Yes, and this experiment lasted for three full years. I don’t know what else Kaczynski experienced during that period, but it is obvious that this experiment completely changed him from the inside out.
I have visited Kaczynski many times, and he is very talkative, just like any other smart normal person, but whenever I mention the experiment, he remains silent. ”
< br>When Rossi said this, he suddenly paused and showed a wry smile on his face.
"I don’t know if this is a coincidence. I just remembered that Kaczynski has actually been imprisoned in this state, in the town of Florence near Denver, where the "Rocky Mountain Devil" The highest level of federal prison known as the "Island."
Everyone was speechless for a moment and silently drank the wine in their glasses that was supposed to taste great, but there was a hint of bitterness in their expressions.
Rosie told a seemingly unrelated story, but the answer was already obvious that he would shoot Hyman Washer directly.
Jack took the wine bottle, poured some into everyone's glasses, then raised the glasses and said in a deep voice, "Let us be thankful that technology is in the hands of civilization."
Everyone He was stunned for a moment and began to savor the profound meaning of this sentence, which made someone's face turn slightly red.
Although his original intention was to be yin and yang, it is obvious that this sentence will be interpreted from various angles depending on where everyone's butt is.
"Well, this sentence comes from a science fiction novel called "The Three-Body Problem"."
Although he did secretly start writing his own novel, this sentence is too classic, so it would be better to clarify it, He Jie would not bother to do anything like copying documents.
What's more, "The Three-Body Problem" is not as niche in Europe and the United States as some people think. As a science fiction novel that was personally sent an email by the last federal president to urge for updates, it is still very well-known in Europe and the United States.
Reed did not explain or popularize this classic science fiction novel to everyone as usual this time. Instead, he thought about it for a while, reacted first, and raised his glass with Jack.
The rest of the people immediately raised their glasses together and said in unison, "Fortunately, technology is in the hands of civilization!"
After ending this somewhat depressing topic, everyone then talked about Oppenheimer, the Manhattan Project, and finally ended up talking about the two atomic bombs that exploded in the footbath.
There are all sensible and smart people here, and no one is so crooked as to sympathize with those german nationalists. The discussion ended with a joke from Jack and everyone's laughter.
What he said was, "Now I have a great-looking firecracker in my hand, and there is a cesspool in front of me. Boys know what to do, don't they?"
Men There were knowing smiles on their faces, and Jiejie and Emily even laughed so hard that they hit Jack on the shoulder. Only Red, who grew up in the city and lacked playmates in his childhood, didn't understand why and looked confused. Looking at the friends around him.
