In his famous farewell address, President Dwight Eisenhower warned of the dangers posed by the military-industrial complex—the growing power of defense contractors and their influence on government decisions. Chris Wolf, a former suspect in the JonBenét Ramsey case, echoed this sentiment, calling John Ramsey a “merchant of death” due to his role at Lockheed Martin, the largest defense contractor in the world. Wolf’s political hatred was rooted in these ideological beliefs, framing John Ramsey as a symbol of the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned against. Wolf’s writings also criticized the growing use of computers, which Eisenhower had cautioned about, seeing them as tools that could centralize control. In his deposition, Wolf revealed that while he had a computer, he had never been on the internet, expressing disdain for students using computers instead of engaging in real conversations.

The Boulder Police were ill-equipped to recognize the broader implications of Wolf’s motives. They dismissed these ideological underpinnings, failing to see the potential terrorism linked to Wolf’s disdain for the military-industrial complex and technology. This was not simply a local crime—it involved a dangerous mix of political extremism and anti-government beliefs that should have been addressed by national security experts, not local law enforcement.
