(00:02):
Inside this primitive barracks, one mandeclared war on the world, thus provoking
the greatest persecution in U S historybetween nineteen hundred and seventy- eight and
one thousand nine hundred and ninety-six. Their artisanal explosives blinded lives and
threatened a nation. Or you're at home opening your mail with your
family sitting around the table and explodingon p was terrifying. How could a

(00:26):
man evade the most important security forcesin the United States for nearly two decades?
I don' t think anyone evendreamed we' d meet a daisy
doctor. This guy lived without water, running, without electricity, and yet
he made boas, and to beginwith, what led him to kill.

(00:47):
We prefer to believe that those whocommit murders are crazy and already from the
beginning and I thought that Casinski wasmuch more than that, had it not
been for a selfless gesture of hisselfless family, they could still give loose.
The moment when a point was pointedout on the map seemed decisive to
me, as I realized that Icould be condemning my son. It was

(01:10):
called tedgassing sc but the world cameto know him as he did. A
fireman. The secrets of history,the spring fire moon of one thousand nine

(01:38):
hundred and ninety- six secret agentsof the FBI and other agencies with verge
in the small hill town of Lincoln, in the State of Montana and Tedkassinski
' s cabin. They think Cassinskiis one of America' s most famous
criminals. He' s a fireman. For nearly twenty years, their seemingly

(01:59):
random attacks have killed and maimed innocentpeople across the country and the FBI has
been unable to find them. Thisis moonwork bombard amen of these crimes.
His insulting letters to the authorities andhis anti- technological writings have made him
the most wanted man in the UnitedStates. In the end, investigators are

(02:23):
about to end the longest murderous activitythe country has ever known. Between noon
and midnight on April 2. TheFBEI discreetly highlights about a hundred people in
Lincoln, Montana, including brigades withspecial weaponry, tactical teams, and army
operatives. Officers take positions, theyhave to get Cassinski out of his hut

(02:46):
without raising his suspicions They' restill fresh. The memory of the failed
and violent confrontation between the FBI andthe Davidian sect in Waco, Texas and
agents believe that cassinskid is NS hasweapons and explosives in his house. Max
noel of the brigade to a bombresorts to Jerry Burns, a local forest

(03:09):
ranger to help them bring Cassins,who the outside hierame. Jerry Partners called
him saying Mr Cassins, if he' s in the cabin. I am
Jerry Burns at the United States ForestGuard service and I need to talk to
you and continue calling you as weapproach the croche booth that ab Barns asks

(03:35):
you to come out with good manners. Kassingsky turns to take the coat.
This is the last chapter of thebiggest persecution in FM history. But the

(03:58):
effects of the attacks of Luna bombrdeleft an impression wave in the United States.
In a parking lot at the Universityof Illinois, a woman collects an
abandoned package bursts into the hands ofa campus security officer, although she is
only slightly injured. About a yearlater, on the campus of the University
of the Northwest, a graduate studentcauses a shocking explosion by opening a box

(04:24):
of strange- looking cigars. Hisinjuries are mild. These two attacks are
not of great interest to the securityforces, but on November 15th of a
thousand nine hundred and seventy- nine, the Luna Bomber draws the attention of
the Febel. American Airlines Flight Fourhundred and forty- four is heading for

(04:46):
Washington de zed during the flight allof a sudden. The passage hears a
loud sound of your choice and thepassenger cabin begins to fill with smoke.
Well, tone jetsondo blew it up. Yeah, okay Ardis you and the
smoke leaked out of the cargo holdor into the passenger cabin. Yes,
the plane had to make an emergencylanding. The bomb does not explode due

(05:13):
to poor sealing, although it setsfire to the mail of the winery.
But John Conway, one of thefirst experts in the case, knows that
the end of the artifact was tocause the maximum possible destruction. Had it
continued to fly, the plane wouldhave exploded and there is good reason to
believe that no one would have survived. The FBI is tracking the package to

(05:34):
Chicago. The agents verify that theterrorist uses the ingredients that characterize him wooden
boxes, lamp cables, batteries andwooden pins. When forensic scientists examine the
first three bombs, it is clearthat they face a serial killer and the

(05:59):
usual ones. It was made ofmaterials that anyone has in the garage,
in the groge das matchheads. Theformer are so rudimentary. The components of
the artifacts are scraped to remove recognizablemarks or are handmade to avoid any possible

(06:19):
detection. The ingredients of the thirdbomb are more mysterious and fit. On

(06:40):
June 10, 1980, Executive Persiwoodopened a package containing a book entitled Brothers
of the Ice. The explosion causedpieces of metal and wood to be lodged
on Wood' s face and aleg survives. Fortunately, the bomb was
preceded by a letter saying that MrWood was going to receive a book of

(07:02):
great social significance. What does thismean, what does it mean, ice
brothers, what did that letter mean? There are also numerous mocking allusions to
wood. The artifacts are made ofwood. Victim' s last name is
Wood Wood. The sender' saddress is on a street called Ravenswood,

(07:24):
a raven forest. In addition,inside the book there is a small piece
of metal with the letters F andC. It is clear that the explosion
was expected to survive and becomes theway the terrorist identifies his work. From
this moment on, the most intriguingthing of all is the victim' s
background. Percy wood Wood is thepresident of ju United Airlines and has appeared

(07:48):
on the news for having fired thousandsof workers from the DA airline. For
us, that was one of thefirst indications that perhaps hahats would meet with
an employee of the company' saffections, perhaps one of the fired forrand
from the point of view of theway in which several artifacts were constructed remembered
the type of construction seen in certainareas of the airling st industry Since the

(08:09):
beginning of his attacks, the terroristhas sent or planted four bombs. Two
were aimed at people from the university. Two were aimed at the airline industry.

(08:31):
These coincidences will make the Feb callit a bom case, a case
that will end up forcing the FederalAgency' s capacity to the fullest.
The FB has found the cusp ofhis Zapato, a man whose obsession,
intelligence, and ability to throw awaymake him one of the most enigmatic criminals
in U S history. Hibra.The truth is, he was kind of

(08:56):
a popular WIR hero. Both writersand readers began to fill this blank space,
this Rorsck test or resort to theirprejudices to, but about the evil
one, that serial silo of sociopathor the intelligent terrorist, revolutionary, anti
- technological and neoludite, And aboveall, Tedcassinski is a mystery to his

(09:20):
own family, including his brother,little David. I remember one morning I
woke up with an overwhelming sense ofdepression. It' s my first thought
as soon as I wake up.It was the worst nightmare I' ve
ever had in my life. Andthen, as I cleared up, I
realized it wasn' t a nightmare. I was seriously considering the possibility that

(09:45):
my brother was a serious killer,the most wanted person in America. Already
from the beginning. It is veryclear that Luna bomber is a consummate criminal.
Home- made explosives are the workof someone intelligent, resourceful and with
a unique capacity for deception. AndI didn' t know that the fingerprints

(10:09):
of the post office employees could appearon the gentlemen so we could locate the
post office post office post office whereI delivered them there. So he treated
the stamps in such a way thatwe could not find traces even after four
attacks, the FB and lacks conclusiveevidence on which to base his action.
Moreover, most of the evidence hasbeen deliberately placed to throw off the A

(10:33):
Bomber is playing with investigators After theattack suffered by Percy Wood and without clues
to follow, the FB resorts toits ethologists in order to draw a psychological
portrait of the criminal. The profiledescribes the suspect as a man between the
ages of eighteen and twenty- two, a university student, with some training

(10:58):
in physics and engineering and se andse certainly upper middle class. But this
first psychological portrait in almost every aspectis wrong. When he perpetrates the attack
on Persebood Cassings, who is fortyyears old and is broke. He'
s also smarter than any of theresearchers can imagine. Edgassinski, the son

(11:18):
of Polish immigrants based in Chicago,is an academic prodigy. In fifth grade,
he reaches a coefficient of one hundredand sixty- seven in an intelligence
level test and is qualified as agenius. He skips two courses and at
the age of fifteen he is admittedto Harvard University, an achievement that causes

(11:43):
sensation in his working class slum.He excels at all stages of his academic
life. After graduating from Harvard,he holds a PhD in mathematics from the
University of Michigan, where he solvesa complicated theorem that has brought his professors

(12:03):
to their head for years. Hisdoctoral thesis is awarded and six of his
works see the light. He isconsidered an academic star in Ciernes and the
University of Berkley offers him a positionof full professor. However, Ted does
not fit into the Berkelian culture ofthe 1960s, his stay is brief.

(12:26):
Academic life does not satisfy their ambitions. Kassinski has other plans and was still
a Berkley. Just enough time toearn enough money to retire to the forest
and start his anti- technological campaign, or he had already dedicated himself to
it. In a thousand nine hundredand seventy- one, Ted moved to
the outskirts of Lincoln, in theState of Montana, where a small log

(12:50):
cabin was built and each one wasdistracted a little at first due to the
euphoria of being in the countryside passingmotorcycles through the forest and polar ations above.
So the tech society was importunating him, so he wrote that he needed
his message to reach the pique people. To achieve this he had to kill

(13:18):
people over the years he became themost elusive serial killer in the United States
and avoid being discovered by perpetrating allhis attacks in a very modest way and
riding a suprabaña bike to the populationof Himan and then taking social west and

(13:45):
p and traveling to Misula in Montana. That was his usual ta and a
so spent the night in a missulatamotel and he had other clothes with him
for riding. Many times it wasa suit a white shirt. They were
helping Wishre Noti and w was relaxingon him then he took a bus to

(14:09):
the Bay of Saint Faces O Sacramentoor wherever he went on that occasion to
him. Between a thousand nine hundredand eighty- one and a thousand nine
hundred and eighty- five, explosivesnumber five, six, seven and eight

(14:30):
are aimed at universities. The endof the bombs is to kill, but
they only manage to maim their victims. The ninth is sent by a Washington
State boin factory. A worker suspectsand calls the police. The bomb squad
takes six hours to disassemble and explodeit in a controlled manner. This time

(14:52):
it has the precise power to killanyone in a ra ten to six meters.
Forensic analysts discover a disturbing stretch.I realized that I gained a lot
in sophistication as the years passed.Well, he had gone from using matchheads
and smokeless gunpowder to using even child' s gunpowder and odilio raves. I

(15:20):
understood that we had a problem thatwas going to be bad. In December
one thousand nine hundred and eighty-five and moon fireman manages to kill a
man Yuk is a craton owner ofa computer store. It dies the explosion
of a powerful artifact disguised as anobstacle to traffic, because its construction techniques

(15:43):
Luis told us clearly that his intentionwas to achieve fragmentation and kill WENTWIFI And
later, and when we examined hissubscribers we saw that he had written in
a diary and was finally a successFinally, I have given as a human
way to kill myself to create.Mr Scratton did not die in a humane

(16:03):
way which had a brutally agonizing deathin that parking lot and cheese, if
he inspired to qualify like this,would make you very angry with a death
on hand and with no viable clues. The authorities need help. U S
citizens are invited to participate using atelephone available 24 hours a day and offering

(16:26):
a reward. The bomb- moonattacks, which have been going on for
almost ten years and have cost thefb and millions of dollars and countless hours
of work, are the work ofa man who lives on less than a
thousand dollars a year. For theFBI, a firefighter is practically invisible,
but in a thousand nine hundred andeighty- seven when he places his tenth

(16:49):
device duo in Salt Lake City,the fb gets its first reliable lead.
The fire moon is seen by awitness Tami Fluis. He leans out the
window and sees a firefighter less thana meter, setting the bomb that almost
kills his boss. Give the investigatorsthe only description of the whole story of

(17:15):
the case. Three days later,a local police sketch artist traces a robot
portrait of the suspect. For thefirst time, researchers are optimistic. American
post offices offer a$ 50,000 reward and calls start to rain,
but none of them drive anything.Meanwhile, their behavior continues to baffle researchers.

(17:47):
Unlike other serial killers, a firefighterhas never communicated with the authorities.
Then, in a thousand nine hundredand eighty- eight does something else Surprised
of or if it fits, disappearsfor six years ceases to send bombs.

(18:11):
For many, the case of afireman is over and in monster. In
most cases, serial killers tend toburn in their youth, in other cases
they end up killing themselves. Itwas being a serial killer It' s
a very brief activity. Most officersbelieve that he has accidentally killed himself,

(18:33):
died of natural causes, or changedhis attitude. The case languishes. There
is, therefore, no longer aregular firefighter, since they no longer believed
that it was worth pursuing and Idedicated myself to collaborating in other cases of
my fellow brigade members who urgently neededmore staff. But John Conwiy is reluctant

(18:56):
to abandon the case completely. Therewere a few officers who said elu a
dead firefighter, but I never believedit. He said no. I'
m not closing the case. Theguy' s still walking. That'
s where Conway' s coming back. He is right and during the six
years of fire moon inactivity, thenumber of agents dedicated to the case decreases

(19:18):
while he perfects his technique. Ina thousand nine hundred and ninety- three,
a bombe returns vengefully. Send bymail two small artifacts made of highly
sophisticated chemicals that seriously injure two universityscientists, gases that can reach almost four

(19:44):
degrees Celsius and explode in one tenthousand and a second. The victims receive
the impact of shrapnel and gas witha pressure of more than 100 tons per
square inch and a speed of morethan twenty zero kilometers per hour. One

(20:07):
of the victims barely escapes death andfights for help. Their next two bombs
cause even more destruction. Two weeksbefore Christmas of nine hundred and ninety-
four, the New Jersey executive,Thomas Moser, opens a package by taking

(20:27):
it for a golf team. Dieon the spot. Four months later,
a bomb package kills Gilbert Murray,president of the Californian landlady. His office
is razed. These explosives are evidenceof a new and terrifying destructive capability,

(20:59):
where we had not met him andWethine, we did not know who he
was. Every day that passed already, every event that happened grew frustration and
I think anyone would conclude that atthat time the fire moon had the frying
pan by the handle. Attorney GeneralJanet Reno considers that the case of a
firefighter must have absolute priority and constitutesthe brigade to a bomb combining the forces

(21:19):
of three federal security agencies. Butfew agents want to participate. I think
the most widespread view was that thecase was unsolved. I got a call
from the special people in charge ofthe case Harri told me You' d
like to direct the brigade to abomb and I responded because it' s

(21:40):
a great offer. Thank you,but leave it. I stay here and
he said wedding, because you can' t choose. I want you to
come this afternoon, and that's how I started working on the case.
In October of one thousand ninety-four, Torchi assumed the daily management
of the Brigade, perhaps the leastdesirable position of the American security forces.

(22:02):
But then, in June of onethousand nine hundred and ninety- five,
the Moon Bombe returns with a newidentity. He sends the New York Times
and the Washington Post a fifty-six- page text entitled Industrial society and
its future, and he ends upbeing known as a firefighter manifesto. Well

(22:34):
you raise the moment when the Brigadehad the manifest and the Luna Bomberg began
the dialogue in a thousand nine hundredand ninety- five. It was a
turning point in this case that Kassinskioffers to interrupt his attacks. If his
manifesto an invective of thirty- fivezero words against the modern world, the
document is published reeks of Rabia.It reads the human race with technology.

(23:04):
He' s like an alcoholic witha barrel of wine. The best thing
would be to put an end toall this pig. System sees psychological manipulation
by doquo writes. The system willbe forced to use all means at its
disposal to control human behaviour, predictenvironmental disasters and warn. We all have

(23:32):
to die one day and it maybe better to die fighting for a cause
than to have a long, meaninglesslife. Many find themselves the simplistic and
clumsy manifesto, but their anti-technological ideas also seduce a large number of
people. The manifesto is widely readand disseminated on the Internet and even the

(23:56):
Orthodox press attaches importance to it.Thanks to the manifesto and Luna Bomber reaches
the figure rank of Cobain Krishanskit.Cassinse' s ideas fell into the fertilised
field as millions of people thought that, for what it' s like and
rock, something is wrong with ourcivilizations. The manifesto serves the FB itself

(24:18):
to find that it is not amere serial killer, but a dangerous political
activist. The Brigade has until October1st to publish the document. Otherwise,
Luna Bomber will continue to kill,disillusioned by the excess of contradictory profiles and
the accumulation of useless data. Darchiappeals to Kathy Packett, a specialist against

(24:42):
fB spying, to dig deeper intothe manifest. Given his years of experience
in psychology and counter- spying,Kathy hits a real hit in Luna'
s firefighter now On writings. Wealready had before us something that did come
from him, it was like openingthe doors of his mind, as he

(25:10):
was very narcissistic and convinced of hissuperiority and intellectual supremacy. Packet ll manifest
as if it were an autobiography hiddenin Kassingski' s ideology. If there
is something much more revealed, themost common topic was the children, when

(25:32):
they are mistreated or when something happensto them in society and I thought that
he is talking about himself writes abouthis unfortunate web experiences From a psychological point
of view, his complaints are projectedon the technological society, but they are
very personal. Katy Packett and Territorchybelieve that publishing the document could reveal the

(25:55):
identity of the author to someone whoknows him personally, but doing so with
risks yielding to the fire moon setsa bad precedent and no investigator believes that
their attacks will cease, but notpublishing it will certainly provoke further attacks on

(26:26):
the debate about whether to spread itor not. This is a turning point
in the long history of the case. A Dort firefighter and her colleagues must
decide what to do and then reportto Jam Freeman, the head of the
FBA and Washington, who oversees theSilen End Brigade. Finally, we decided

(26:48):
to recommend that it was best notto publish it. Jean fament Sala ok
En. Jim Freemont said worth presentingin writing your position back or Saint As
soon as I closed the door,we looked at each other almost nor did
we miss saying I don' tknow the maide w Pot is wrong.
So I came back and said.We believe that we may have been wrong
and that perhaps the manuscript of Lunabomb hot Sy Way should be published.

(27:11):
Both the Weshington Post and the NewYork Times publish the full thirty- five
- word writing. It is arisky bet that arouses the contempt of many
who claim that this is the waythe game is played against the terrorist.
But the decision is made. Theonly question is you' ll win the

(27:32):
bet. September of a thousand ninehundred and ninety- five readers from all
over the world devour the manifesto abomb. The phone line to report moon
bombe receives twenty zero calls neighbors bridesand wives. They are convinced that their

(27:53):
husbands, boyfriends or acquaintances, arein a firefighter. They also want to
collect the reward of a million dollars. Among its millions of readers is a
philosophy teacher from Junen College, LindaPatrick, the wife of David Cassingski.

(28:14):
The angry tone of the manifesto remindsLinda of the letters that her husband has
shown her over several years, writtenby her brother Death shippiekand began to say
that she had read several articles aboutmoon fireman and that she had the frightful
hunch in according to which perhaps hea fireman was my brother Brother bad Fron.

(28:37):
First reaction was to think Linda Comeon that this one has problems are
and such, but Sna has neverbeen violent. Reading the manifesto that already
circulates on the Internet, David recallscertain worrying incidents of his older brother’
s life. Having about seven years. Babe asks her mother why her brother

(29:03):
has so few friends. Mom,my mom explained to me that there'
s nothing wrong with being different,that not everyone has to be the same
for or. But I' mnot completely satisfied. I think my mother
noticed, so she sat me onthe couch and told me that she thought
she should tell me something that hadhappened to my brother. Being a baby

(29:25):
Babe, when you' re onlynine months old, you have a serious
allergic reaction and you' re quarantined. While the outbreak lasts almost ten days.
Mam and my wet mother told methat it had traumatized me a lot.
Ted Sar told me that when hegot out of the hospital, he

(29:48):
didn' t smile anymore, hedidn' t laugh anymore. I didn
' t even look into your eyesthe story of storm David for years.
He and his mother often wonder ifTed' s childhood trauma was the cause
of his hermitic life, whether hisfears were well founded or not. Ted
was extremely secretive during much of hisschool and college periods. Not only is

(30:14):
he two years younger than his classmates, but Ted also has far less money
than they do. Horvers Harvard andmore in the 1950s was a very snoff
ah Car place. If you hada bad tie. If I put my
leg over your trolls, people wouldn' t talk to you. It was
like this And here we have aboy who has barely turned sixteen when he

(30:37):
enters Harvard and came in with twoshirts and two pants, just Annewis and
stayed in a house that was knownto be more ex- boyfriends, but
a traumatic experience suffered at Harvard standsout among the others. In the second
grade, when she is only seventeenyears old or no, she participates in

(31:00):
a behavioral research project led by aprestigious professor of psychology, Henry Murray,
working for the forerunner agency of thecompany. During World War II, Murray
developed a training system so that spiescould endure intense interrogations. Years later,
he continued his experiments at Harvard,where young Tedcassinski was one of his subjects.

(31:26):
Among other tests, Murray' steam asked for tet and twenty-
one other participants to write on theirvital philosophy. Then they are told that
they will discuss their theories with afellow student. But it' s a
hoax. When they arrived at thehouse it turned out that they were not

(31:47):
going to debate with a colleague,but with a law student who had been
trained and forced to attack those children, humiliate them, anger them and ridicule
their ideas. Murray' s teamhas selected emotionally unstable subjects for purposes to
enhance the effects of pressure. Ithink the most shocking thing about the nemourra

(32:17):
experiment is that subjecting them on purposeto that pressure without any help to use
a word art experiment seems to memoral. The experience is disturbing for tedcassingskiye
to arouse a radical hatred for psychologists. In fact, later on, a

(32:40):
famous behavioral psychologist named James McConnell,is one of his goals. Upon leaving
Harvard, Ted writes a twenty-three- page text attacking government- funded
technology and scientific research, such asMurray' s, which is antecedent of
his manifesto. He tries to recruitother scholars for his cause, but they

(33:06):
don' t care. Desired thequiet and apologetic, Cassinski begins to hate
academics who do not commune with hisapproaches years later, as a firefighter gets
the audience he wants when he forcesthe publication of his manifesto with the threat
of continuing violence. Linda Patrick meditateson the manifesto and in the end convinces

(33:31):
her husband to read the entire documentthat is hanging on the Internet. David
is sure that the crosscheck will provethat his suspicions about his brother are unfounded.
So, for about three weeks repechis. Linda and I read the
manifesto religiously and examined the letters.Nosof the living room. Linda read the

(34:01):
manifesto, saw Terwil' s letters, and compared and contrasted ripe. Even
then I didn' t know whatto think I' ve gone crazy.
What am I doing that my brotheris a fireman. Come on, but
two sentences from the manifesto caught theattention of serene logical baby and you can

(34:24):
' t eat your cake and keepit, and a few phrases his brother
used to use da and Vid andLinda hire a detective and a lawyer who
submit teth' s writings to theanalysis of an expert in philology. By
all means. According to this itis very possible that Ted and the one
fireman are the same person and Iwent. If we didn' t do

(34:47):
anything to b it was the firemoon, some innocent person could pick up
a package and be killed. That' s unthinkable to a. On the
other hand, if we rat outTedd and it' s the boomberg moon,
maybe I will shoot her with thepolice, because they may condemn him
to death and execute him so thatI will stain his hands with eternal blood.
David and Lind act their private detective, hand over their evidence to the

(35:12):
FB and tell them about their growingsuspicions. Ted Gassinski enters the brigade'
s management system that investigates the caseof a firefighter like suspect number two,
four hundred and sixteen. He becomesone of the thousands of suspects who are
being investigated by fB. But evenat the FBI' s highest levels,

(35:35):
it' s doubtful that Ted Cassinskicould be in a firefighter. Or the
fact that Ted Kassinski wrote things thatyou would put to be analyzed linguistically contained
ideas similar to those of the manifestotwo were just circumstantial shockstangl Thins. Experts
are unbelieving, as they are confidentthat the terrorist must have access to foundry

(35:59):
facilities to make his aluminium components.Kassinski lacks electricity and running water. We
had two thousand four hundred and sixteensuspects, many of whom were very good
suspects. No, and now allof a sudden we ran into a guy

(36:21):
with no means of transport who hadno legality in his cabin, who lacked
heating, apart from a wood stovethat certainly did not have an oven.
That was unimaginable magnation. The brigadestill has no tangible evidence. But when
David Cassinskin shows agents the twenty-three- page anti- technological diatribe that

(36:45):
THET had tried to publish in the1970s, the similarities are too strong.
To pass them by Alto never stenJim asked me to stay when everyone left
and told me what you think allthe fighting to a bomb would have to
focus. There' s only oneperson. We looked at each other,

(37:06):
and I answered him," Oh, I' m so sick of it
" Faith sees acts immediately before anotherattack is perpetrated. They show David Cassinski
a mountain map and ask him topoint out the exact situation of the ten
- square- meter wooden chamizo whereTret lives. We were willing to do
what needed to be done now,we could no longer back down, even

(37:29):
if we wanted to, and themoment I pointed out a point on the
map seemed decisive to me, asI realized that I could be condemning my
brother to death. When agents immobilizethe scruffy Cassinski on the floor, you
can' t believe she' sa fireman. We' ll go in
and show you the inside of thecabin and the evidence conclusively proves your guilt.

(37:53):
It puts aluminum filings of the originalcast aluminium sheet, but the contents
of the booth raises even more doubtsabout the personality of that man. It
runs in a thousand nine hundred andninety- six a time of unprecedented prosperity
and trust in the United States andthe most wanted criminal in the country is

(38:16):
finally detained. Dedgassinski changes the solitudeof his refuge and mountaineers by the harsh
gaze of public opinion and the increasinglyhostile press nar. When the manifesto came
out to The first reaction was theauthor was Eugene, who, after Cassingskied

(38:39):
' s arrest, the press suddenlydecided that that person was not a hys
genius who was crazy. Tedcassinski's strange story continues to captivate the public,
but the final verdict reserves it tothe Tribunal. Both the defense and
the prosecution seek inspiration from the evidencefound in their cabin, where FBI agents

(39:02):
filmed a video shortly after capturing him. How you can see are about three
meters by three and a half meters. It' s a one- storey
cabin with a loft for the prosecution. His home offers clear evidence of Kassinski
' s premeditation, so he requeststhe death penalty and was a formidable opponent.

(39:30):
The only comparison that comes to mindwith what we see today is the
players for their dedication to the commissionof violent acts in this corner. Looks
like he stores his chemicals. Rightnow they have potassium chlorate bottles. Continuing
on the right side of the cabin, there is one of the folders with

(39:52):
schematics and annotations in Spanish. Inthe cabin investigators find the Smith crown typewriter

(40:14):
ready to send the defense facing acluster of incriminating evidence. He understands that
the only way to save Kassinski's life is to claim dementia sees inside
his cabin as a matter of Kassinski' s mental disorders. This is the

(40:36):
guy' s bed or the jergon. Ah, it' s got an
olive green blanket on it, shortfor trial. The defense moves Luna'
s sordid barber hut to Sacramento,the place where he will be judged in
order to prove that if anyone liveslike this, he' s crazy in

(40:59):
this cabin. Casin suffered years ofdeprivation to draw attention to his ludicite ideas.
Now comes your chance. The trialis the perfect public forum to expose
his ideas, even if that meansplaying his life for him. His position
confronts him with his own lawyers,who believe he suffers from a mental disorder.

(41:22):
Apparently, the team of lawyers didnot inform him about the defensive strategy
they were going to use. Inyour case, The da Worwa. Mr
Cassings Gillans was enormously angry at thedefense table of defensive threw his lap and
although I didn' t hear whathe said on his lips saying that you

said it' s da watchu detaine dem furious. Cassinski takes care of
the situation. He informs Judge GarlandBurrell that he wants to dispense with his
lawyers and defend the court. Thejudge is already taking his hands to the
head Luna Bomber' s trial isabout to derail. Burrell. She entrusts

(42:14):
a government psychologist, Sally Johnson,with a final conclusive assessment of Kassinski'
s mental state. Johnson sees themwith a man of fierce intellect who totally
distrusts psychologists. From his abusive Harvardexperience Over a week, he interviews for

(42:35):
22 hours with Kassinski, who isfaced with questions about his family, his
education, and his crimes. Heis also subjected to a series of psychological
tests. Finally, Johnson diagnoses thatKassinski is paranoid schizophrenic and that his disease

(43:00):
is remitting. He' s qualifiedto be tried, but he' s
severely suffering from mental illness. Thereare those who have argued with me if
he was so smart and overcame theFD and that shows that he didn'
t have mental illness. It's just that he can be smart and
suffering from a psychic disorder in thearmpit just means he' s retarded here.

(43:21):
It' s not an evolutionary disability. His brain tricked him into believing
that he was a transcendental person forthe course, sofs story connected with Johnson
' s report. Judge Burrell isready to issue his ruling. Kassinski,
the great Harvard graduate, who doesn' t think he' s sick,

(43:44):
can' t stand the issue ofhis mental health in public. Take the
offer from the prosecution. The chainperpetuates. There will be no trial,
but the question of Kssinski' slucidity is still a matter of cons.
How to accept paranoid schizophrenia as adiagnosis. It would be necessary to know

vehemently disagree that this is a delusion. Almost twenty years after the outbreak of

(44:27):
the first artifact, Luna Bomber's case has ended, but the verdict
is not very satisfactory. Pajaos devistas, not because there was no trial.
We still haven' t heard Kassinski' s sworn testimony about why he
did it. What he did.For the American people it was a calamide,

(44:47):
since no evidence came out and Kassinskicontinued to be something like a black
box for the Feb And the caseone or Bomberg gives rise to a new
category of criminal, modeled after Kassinski' s model and called the lone wolf,
the rabid misanthropist, whose ineptitude tolive with his fellows causes him a

dangerous ideological obsession. At the ageof six, they don' t dream
of being on the Bomber moon.They evolve into those characters because of their
limited inability to relate to others andcommunicate effectively. Acte Way before he gets

sentenced. Kassinski hears the relatives ofhis victims talk about the pain and pain
he has caused. He doesn't show remorse before he' s escorted
out of the courtroom. David triesto make contact with his older brother.
