Summary

This week we're going way back to November 2021... and the 1970's-1990's (yes, Ted went undetected for that long). If you haven't yet heard, Ted Kaczynski, a victim of MKUltra experiments and the man notoriously known as "the Unabomber" died by suicide on June 10, 2023. Ash and former co-host Cam, along with former audio engineer Evette, discuss the heinous government experiments known as MKUltra, which Ash and Cam believe turned Ted Kaczynski into the terrorist that he became.

In the last episode, Ash regaled you with stories of the CIA's secret torture and brainwashing program, MKUltra, and we're going to continue that trend today! Cam is talking about Ted Kaczynski and the MKUltra experiments that were done to him at Harvard, his decades long maiming and killing spree, and how he became the infamous American domestic terrorist known as The Unabomber.

In today's episode Ash and Ali give an update on Ted's death and discuss his connections with MKUltra.
