Ecoterrorism, Ted Kazinsky, and James Jay Lee

The Unabomber–remember him?–was treated more benignly and received less negative press than just about any serial murderer in American history.

Dr. Theodore John “Ted” Kazynski killed 3 people and injured 23 over two decades beginning in 1978, ending in 1995. Characteristic of his treatment by liberals, the left-leaning Wikipedia, while mentioning that killing spree, describes Kazynski as “an American mathematician and social critic” and “intellectual child prodigy,” within the first 58 words of its Ted Kazinsky article.

In other words, he may have been a murderer but he had redeeming values, especially that “social critic” feature.

Kazinsky wasn’t labelled an “ecoterrorist” primarily because that term had yet to be invented but he may be regarded as the inspirational godfather of ecoterrorism, the blazer of eco-trails who was followed by equally-disturbed psychopaths who got off by acts of arson, sabotage, bombing, and tree-spiking.

By coercion and threats of more killings via his chosen and cowardly technique of mail bombings, Kazynski succeeeded in having authorities publish his “Unabomber Manifesto,” the “fatal conclusion” of which has been summarized as: “Technological society is incompatible with individual freedom and must therefore be destroyed and replaced by primitive society so that people will be free again:” http://tiny.cc/10b2w

Paraphrased, Kazynski was saying that people can only attain true freedom, be free at last, if advanced societies return to the pre-Industrial Revolution Age–and return to the times of horse manure-filled streets, unchecked disease, lifespans of 40 years or so, astronomical infant mortality, reading by candlelight, etc.

Nice vision there, Ted! Sort of like life in Somalia today, the existence that today’s extreme Greens would love.

After being captured and diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, the Unabomber was tried, convicted and sentenced to life without parole.

Fast forward to September, 2010 and James Jay Lee, a 43 year old extreme green who was inspired by the Goreacle’s very imaginative and grossly incorrect film, “An Inconvenient Truth.”
