Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, sentenced to multiple life terms, is transferred from supermax prison in Colorado to facility in North Carolina that treats inmates for significant health problems

Unabomber Ted Kaczynski has been transferred from the Colorado supermax prison to a federal medical facility in North Carolina - a sign the infamous domestic terrorist's health is deteriorating.

Kaczynski, 79 - a mathematics prodigy who gained notoriety for his manifesto after sending a series of bombs in the mail over 17 years that killed three people and injured 23 - has been moved to FMC Butner, which is known for treating inmates with significant health problems.

He was transferred on December 14 from supermax prison Florence-ADMAX - the 'Alcatraz of the Rockies' - where he has been serving multiple life sentences. The prison houses the 'worst of the worst,' such as World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Ahmed Yousef and Boston marathon bomber Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev.

His condition is unknown and the Bureau of Prisons refused to tell his brother David Kaczynski about any ailments. David found out about his brother's transfer through someone who corresponds with him.

Kaczynski hasn't responded to his brother's letters since David tipped off investigators after excerpts from a 35,000-word manifesto were published in the Washington Post and The New York Times in 1995 - helping to end the FBI's 17-year manhunt for a suspect.

The manifesto railed against modernization, which David and his wife recognized as his brother's ramblings.

Did anyone else read this Manifesto when it was published ?

I did, and did not find it to be rambling, or without reason.

I cannot understand that because how could the MSN ever be misleading ?

I knew a guy a long time ago (Hi Brian!) His mother lived across the dirt road from him, she used to drive him into town to get groceries and mail stuff and he would give her veggies from his garden until she found out he used his own urine to fertilize them.

Still waiting for the CIA doctor who ran the experiments that created him to be arrested.

At the time people were pointing out that some of Kaczynski’s writings seemed to come straight from Algore’s “Earth in the Balance.”

Agreed. Reading it in retrospect, his analysis of leftist psychology and the threat high-tech presented to individual liberty were, dare I say, prophetic.

You could also cherry pick lines from his manifesto that could have come straight out of Rush Limbaugh's books - especially from his (Kaczynski's) paragraphs on leftist psychology.

He turned out to be prescient about where a technological society could be headed if it wasn’t reined in, that’s for sure.

I did, and did not find it rambling either. I expected it be a left-wing nut manifesto, but it was not. In fact, he understood the left almost as well as Rush Limbaugh. I remember it as anti-technology, not left-wing or right-wing.

He was a left-wing marxist nut job... Which is why the press ignored him almost as soon as he was identified.

I agreed with the vast majority, minus blowing up random people.
The man is clearly intelligent.
