KILLER RESCUE ROBOT kNOT
The Untold Story of Risk, Failure, and the Human-Machine Future
From the smoke-choked rubble of Oklahoma City to the classified corridors of DARPA, Dr. John G. Blitch’s (LTC, USA Retired) journey is anything but ordinary. Killer Rescue Robot kKot is a raw, unflinching memoir of a former Green Beret and early pioneer of rescue robotics who dared to weave human accountability, artificial intelligence, and battlefield innovation into a single mission thread.
​
This gripping account unpacks the origins of tactical rescue robotics through failed missions, moral dilemmas, and ego-deflating lessons learned the hard way. Blitch takes readers behind the scenes of elite military operations, high-stakes engineering breakthroughs, and deeply personal reckonings—from his role in shaping DARPA’s first mobile robot programs to the haunting images of Ground Zero and beyond.
​
More than a war story, this is a book about the limits of leadership, the price of risk, and the radical questions we face as machines take on increasingly human roles. At once technical and deeply human, Killer Rescue Robot kNot challenges readers to confront what it really means to lead, to fail, and to build tools that may one day outthink—and outfeel—their creators.
THE ABDUCTION AMNESTY KNOT
Are We All Lab Rats?
In a time when governments admit the reality of UFOs and whistleblowers risk everything to testify about encounters with non-human intelligences, The Abduction Amnesty Knot dares to ask the hardest question of all: what now? Drawing on decades of military experience, behavioral science, and firsthand accounts from PRP-qualified service members, Dr. John G. Blitch, LTC, USA Retired, uncovers disturbing patterns of abduction, concealed technologies, and deep trauma—with evidence that’s physical, not just anecdotal.
Part memoir, part manifesto, and part psychological reckoning, this book blends high-level military insight with deeply personal stories to challenge the limits of belief and open a case for something radical in the age of disclosure: forgiveness. With dark humor, unflinching analysis, and compassion for the abducted and the unaware alike, Blitch doesn’t just document the hidden truths of our past—he charts a course for the kind of future humanity may still be worthy of.
