Subject: Unabomber's new anti-civilization essay in Green Anarchy
Some excepts:
Unabomber finds forum from prison Kaczynski essay in newsletter again seeks
society's downfall
http://www.msnbc.com/news/786226.asp
In an article published this spring by Green Anarchy, a radical
environmental newsletter, Kaczynski calls on revolutionaries to "eliminate
the entire techno-industrial system" by "hitting where it hurts" and
disparages the activities of most radicals as "pointless."
SIMILAR TO '95 MANIFESTO
The Green Anarchy article is not Kaczynski's first published piece from
prison, but it is the longest and the one most similar to his 1995
manifesto. In 1999, OFF! Magazine, produced by students at the State
University of New York at Binghamton, published a "parable" by Kaczynski
entitled "Ship of Fools," in which Kaczynski ridiculed the advocates of
animal rights, gay rights and other leftist causes.
The fall 2001 issue of Green Anarchy - whose slogan is "For the Destruction
of Civilization . . . For Reconnection to Life!" - published a letter from
Kaczynski complaining that Subcomandante Marcos, leader of the Zapatista
rebels in Chiapas, Mexico, was insufficiently pure as a revolutionary
because he advocates bringing water and electricity to peasants. Letters to
the editor do not violate prison regulations.
In a rambling style, Kaczynski's "Green Anarchy" piece dismisses the
tactics of anti-globalization and pro-environment militants who focus on
"smashing up McDonald's or Starbucks" instead of working to "destroy . . .
modern technology itself."
'GET OUT OF BIOTECH'
He says the "most promising target for political attack is the
biotechnology industry," whose leaders should be encouraged to "get out of
biotech."
Elsewhere in the same issue, the newsletter lists Kaczynski as a "prisoner
of war" along with others convicted of crimes that include murder and
arson. The periodical describes the Unabomber's victims as "industrialist
scum."
