James Lee, the Unabomber, and Mental Illness vs. Terrorism

During his trial, Kaczynski fired his attorneys because they argued that he was insane. It was later revealed that Kaczynski was a volunteer in mind-control experiments sponsored by the CIA.

Michael Mello, author of the recently published book, “The United States of America vs. Theodore John Kaczynski,” notes that at some point in his Harvard years–1958 to 1962–Kaczynski agreed to be the subject of “a psychological experiment”. Mello identifies the chief researcher for these only as a lieutenant colonel in World War II, working for the CIA’s predecessor organization, the Office of Strategic Services. In fact, the man experimenting on the young Kaczynski was Dr. Henry Murray, who died in 1988.

In a country of 300 million we incarcerate 1000 people a week. Fascism sucks.

"..In 2005, Mr. Simmons wrote “Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy,” in which he argued that Saudi Arabia’s oil production had peaked and that the world was headed for a supply shock. The view made him a national figure for the “peak oil” theory, which espouses that the world had hit its maximum oil production output.
Mr. Simmons retired from Simmons & Company International in 2005 and later served as the company’s executive chairman. He was still the face of the company and maintained client relationships.

Mr. Simmons, however, found himself in some hot water with Simmons & Company International in early June after he told Fortune magazine that BP would probably need to declare bankruptcy because of the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. BP severed its relationship with the company after Mr. Simmons made the controversial comments. .."
