The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol

Rossi 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 raised eyebrows from everyone, even the "Almighty Encyclopedia" Red showed a rare expression of surprise.

"I always thought that the idea that Kaczynski suffered from mental problems because of 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 Pages of vague records survive.

But what the world didn't know was that the FBI kept copies of most of the plan at the time. "

Everyone immediately became energetic, holding wine glasses, and gathered in front of Rossi, forming a circle around him. There was 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 was signed without victory after the end of the war.

That is, in 1953, some prisoners of war who were unwilling to return home, as well as some who praised the enemy after returning home, made the authorities suspect that the evil Eastern country used drug brainwashing or mind control technology on their "poor" soldiers.

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 directly use drugs 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".

And 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 format in order to cooperate with the CIA's 'MKULTRA' project. "

“In 1959, when Kaczynski was 17 years old, he signed up for the test project and was then brought into Dr. Murray’s laboratory.

After he wrote an essay about his deepest beliefs, values, and ideals and why science would make the world a better place, he was assigned to debate a law student. "

"During the debate, he was connected to electrodes for detecting heartbeats and faced a one-way mirror. But what he didn't know was that his opponent was not alone. The researchers disassembled his paper word for word and conducted targeted analysis. analyze.

Then, through the mouth of this law student, he was ridiculed and belittled from all angles. "

"Dr. Murray would also film the entire process on camera, and then show Kaczynski a scene-by-scene view, pointing out his incompetent and furious expression when he was unable to deal with the ridicule and offensive words, and then continued 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 visited Kaczynski many times, and he was very talkative, just like any other intelligent normal person, but whenever I mentioned the experiment, he kept silent. "

When Rossi said this, he suddenly paused, with 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, a federal island known as the "Alcatraz Island of the Rockies" Maximum prison.”

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.

Rossi told a seemingly unrelated story, but the answer was obvious that he just shot Hyman Washer.

Jack took the wine bottle, poured some into everyone's glasses, then raised his glasses and said in a deep voice, "Let us be thankful that technology is in the hands of civilization."

Everyone was stunned for a moment and began to savor the profound meaning of this sentence, which made someone blush slightly.

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 such things as 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.

This time, Rhett did not explain or popularize this classic science fiction novel to everyone as usual. Instead, he thought about it for a moment, 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 final 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 right in front of me. Boys know what to do, right?"

The men all had knowing smiles on their faces. 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. He looked at his friends around him blankly.
