Below is an article on the role of psycopathy in our society and how psychopaths elect other osycopaths into positions of power often using their sordid secrets to blackmail them into compliance. below the article is some of the comments that followed it:

[h=2]The Mental Illness of Choice for CEO’s & Politicians[/h] July 13, 2013 - Activism, Featured, Main - Tagged: anti social personality disorder, crony capitalism, goldman sachs, government, new world order, police state, wall street - 17 comments

After writing my most recent article with regard to what typically happens when a currency collapse takes down a country’s economy, many people wrote to me asking me when it is going to happen. The short answer is that I have a hard time predicting the actions psychopaths. All of us have a hard time predicting the action of others who are so different from the mainstream of America because most of us do not think like psychopaths. However, I can state with certainty that when the last mortgage has been stolen and the last pension has been confiscated, then it will be time to collapse the dollar.
Our country should be dubbed, the United States of Psychopathology. Psychopaths are at the root of the world’s problems. They kill hundreds of millions in wars which serves no purpose except to enrich themselves. Subsequently, psychopaths such as the Rockefeller’s and the Rothschild’s recruit already compromised psychopaths to do their bidding in both elected office and key administrative positions.
[h=2]The Whole Country Is Going Crazy[/h] The United States of America is presently undergoing a mental health crisis. An estimated 26.2% of Americans ages 18 and older suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. This figure translates to almost 60 million people who have a diagnosable mental illness. Even though mental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion, which is confined to about 6% of the population, or about 1 in 17 who suffer from a serious mental illness. In nearly half (45%) of those with any mental disorder, meet criteria for two or more disorders. In the U.S., mental disorders are diagnosed based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-V).[SUP]4[/SUP]
Most (over 65%) of the diagnosed mental health disorders are reactive in nature to a faulty environment and are common to a population being placed under dire stress. As would be expected, anxiety disorders lead the way and can manifest themselves in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (common to veterans in combat), various social phobias, eating disorders (at record levels) and depression (rising at an alarming rate).
Genetic factors are thought to generally play a role in mental illness in about 30-50% of all mental illnesses. However, the bulk of symptoms are maladaptive responses to a negative environment.
[h=2]Psychopath or Sociopath?[/h] The terms psychopath and sociopath were in vogue 30 years ago in the mental health field. We still see the use of these terms to describe morally deprived people who commit heinous acts of some sort against other human beings. However, on an official level, the terms have been rolled up into one clinical term, Anti Social Personal Disorder (ASPD).
I contend that most of the mental illnesses that we are seeing in today’s America are reactive to the depraved nature of those that seek power over others. It is becoming quite clear that when we closely examine the mental health of many in power, they exhibit the hallmark traits of people with diagnosable ASPD.
[h=2]ASPD[/h] Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by an individual’s disregard for social rules and cultural norms, impulsive behavior, and indifference to the rights and feelings of others. Mental health researchers estimate that approximately 3% of males and 1% of females, aged 18 or over, have ASPD (Lenzenweger, M.F., Lane, M.C., Loranger, A.W., Kessler, R.C. (2007). DSM-IV personality disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication. Biological Psychiatry, 62(6), 553-564).
The National Institute of Mental Health diagnoses Anti-Social Personality Disorder by having four of the following seven characteristics:
·Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest
·Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
·Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
·Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
·Reckless disregard for safety of self or others
·Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations
·Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another
[h=2]ASPD Is Fertile Recruiting Ground for Today’s Leaders[/h] If I were a power broker in the emerging New World Order and I needed politicians to carry out my agenda of controlling every person and every resource on the planet, I would seek individuals who have previously earned their stripes as mentally ill and highly ambitious individuals who will move to get ahead at all costs. I would seek out people who have the traits of an ASPD individual because I could count on them to pursue power at all costs in the pursuit of the NWO agenda. And when they are caught violating the public’s trust, I would just replace them with another person who exhibits the same exact ASPD traits. And it is ideal if these “public servants” already have a litany of behaviors emanating from their ASPD symptoms that I could use to blackmail them when the need arises. In a nutshell, I have just described the American political scene.

Whereas, 75% of Americans are emotionally stable and 25% are not, I think these are the exact inverse numbers of what we see in Congress and other key elected positions such as the governors of states. I believe that if we did a mental status exam on George Bush I, George Bush II, Bill Clinton and President Obama, we would see all four individuals with completely diagnosable ASPD. Millions have died, who did not have to under these criminally insane leaders. We have lived through three completely avoidable wars in which several million have perished as we whip a little democracy on them.


[h=2]ASPD in Corporate Circles and Local Politics[/h] When institutions engage in illegal business practices designed to deprive people of their homes, the leaders and their minions of these organizations are exhibiting ASPD.

Richard Eskow
, senior fellow for Campaign for America’s Future, relates how former employees of Bank of America submitted sworn affidavits to a civil lawsuit claiming that “the financial institution purposely stalled, delayed or denied home loan modifications.” They also claimed that the bank enforced foreclosure quotas and gave bonuses to those with the highest foreclosure rate. So will Bank of America pay for these alleged practices? No because Federal judges are appointed by the criminally orientated mentally ill as well, or they would not be selected.


This parallels what the Federal Reserve is doing. Since September of 2012, the Fed has been purchasing $40 billion dollars worth of mortgage backed securities each month. This is nothing but a modern day version of feudalism in which the Lords are buying up all the land so they can exploit even more serfs who pay tribute to live on the land that has been stolen from them.

Now we find that SECRET COURTS decide what the 4th Amendment to the Constitution entails. Secret courts? The term secrecy should be repugnant in a free society, but not in today’s America. Secret, faceless and nameless judges have decided that you do not have a 4th Amendment right to be protected from the intrusive and unwarranted surveillance of the NSA. Secret courts? What is this, the Wizard of OZ?
Timothy Geithner received $400,000 for three speeches which he gave to his fellow banksters. And he was paid with your money!
Spitzer and his biggest victim, Mrs. Spitzer


Then there is the whore-monger, Eliot Spitzer, forced to resign from office five years ago for his involvement in a prostitution scandal. Spitzer has such a bad case of ASPD that he trotted his wife out on stage when he announced that he was again seeking political office and that he had learned his lesson and that he was never so happy as when he was involved in public service. I think Spitzer meant he was happiest when he was being publicly serviced.


Then who could ever forget Anthony Weiner? You remember Weiner don’t you? He was forced to resign from Congress for publicly displaying his last name in a text to show what a man he is. Interesting, when one urinates in public and are caught, they must register as a sex offender. Weiner’s actions impacted far more people and gets to politically recycle himself with impunity.

Please reread the symptoms of ASPD. Every president in recent history, most of Congress and various “Weiners” such as Spitzer and Geithner have ASPD and you are their victims.



In short, people of America, we are ruled by what used to be called psychopaths and you are their victims on an accelerated basis.


We wonder why things do not change. Why are we continuing to comply with these criminally mentally ill? These psychopaths are literally and figuratively driving the country crazy as proven by our skyrocketing rates of mental illness among the general population.
Isn’t it time that we begin to impose standards of moral conduct such as when you are caught with a prostitute, that you are ineligible to run for public office. Shouldn’t the murder of Ambassador Stevens at Benghazi be enough to keep co-conspirator Hillary Clinton from becoming the President of the United States. Yet, she is the heir apparent in 2016. When one publicly exposes themselves before God and country, shouldn’t this prohibit this person from becoming a mayor?
And to the sheep of America, don’t your children deserve better than to be ruled over by a bunch of perverted psychopaths. These actions are not the exception, they are the norm (see Feinstein, Pelosi, Reed, etc.) In the words of author of Common Sense, “Tis time to part.”

Dave Hodges, whose writing I usually appreciate, has completely missed the boat on this one. Psychopaths, or whatever you want to call them, are not mentally ill. They do not see themselves as mentally ill. In fact, they see themselves as superior to normals. The fact that they currently rule the world gives some credence to that claim of superiority. The question is, do we normals want to let psychopaths continue to get away with doing what they are doing to the rest of us?
We humans, with our big brains, have pretty well figured out the mechanics of evolution. We have come to understand, and even manipulate through selective breeding or gene splicing, the creation of new species. Knowing that any trait can be selected for, including personality, we should not be surprised when the same forces shape human evolution. We should not be surprised that human evolution is an on-going process. We should not be blinded by religious beliefs claiming that we were created in God’s image, or that the current nature of man is a static end-point of evolution, changeless for eternity. And we should not be surprised that the next version of man might be a ruthless predator on man himself, with no externally visible difference, the only change being a subtle mental alteration that dispenses with conscience and empathy for our fellow man, traits which took so many thousands of generations to evolve. It is this genetic change that we observe as psychopathy, and this lack of conscience which has bestowed on its carriers the power to take over the world without a flicker of guilt.
This new type of human is now openly calling for getting rid of the rest of humanity on the Georgia Guidestones and through Agenda 21, all couched in altruistic environmental terms. This is more of their highly-developed skill in lying, for what they really want is the planet all to themselves, with just enough normals to mow their lawns and change their baby’s diapers. Can we trust their environmental motivations when they are the same people poisoning the planet with nuclear waste and fracking?
We are now engaged in the most important war ever fought by humanity, one for our genetic future, what humans will become as evolution rolls on in its endless game of picking winners and losers. The problem is most humans don’t even know that this war is going on, even if they can see all around us that we are losing to an un-named evil. Calling psychopathy a mental illness misses the cold, hard truth about our genetic emergency.

    Toms analysis is frightening but unfortunately could be correct. Psychopathy deserves further research and attention.

    Tom has hit the nail on the head. Psychopaths are not mentally ill, if anything they usually present themselves as very cool under pressure and supremely confident — traits which seduce the normals into having confidence in them. Psychopaths don’t suffer from anxiety or doubts like normal people. They are intra-species predators, highly dangerous to the rest of the population, and only a small number can create huge problems and carnage for the normal population.
    Professor Robert Hare is a world-renowned researcher into psychopathy and his checklist of psychopathic traits are used world-wide. The checklist has 20 traits including sense of entitlement, grandiosity, pathological lying, lack of remorse and inability to take responsibility.
    Yes these psychos do drive the rest of us mad, we begin to think we are living in an asylum. I believe we are all suffering some level of Post Traumatic Stress because of the relentless fear-mongering and economic stresses we are being forced to live under. PTSD reveals itself as feeling numb or apathetic, but also chronically anxious and always fearing the worst.
    Mental illness can also be the result of poor nutrition — our food is contaminated and de-natured to the point of being unable to supply all our nutritional requirements and we have to buy supplements. Vitamin B complex is an example.
    The Eskimos used to deal with psychopaths by pushing them off ice-floes. That certainly would cut down the ability of psychos to procreate and spawn more psychopaths. Psychopaths are parasites, they mask themselves from their hosts/victims very well.
    We need more education and information about this vile sub-species so that we can protect ourselves.


 
@muir
Dunno if you have read the book “The Psychopath Test” or not (very funny and scary)...but it addresses just what you posted about.....namely how some of the most rich and powerful making the decisions as to how our lives are run and the fairness contained therein are actually psychopaths.
Here is a video of the author giving a speech on the subject.

One negative about higher education is it teaches people who regularly use manipulation, to be even better at it.

I think it does. At least where you don't have anonymous marking.
But even then, when people discuss ideas with professors and there aren't set titles/questions, it is obvious who is who if they cared.

But what were you getting at specifically?

In my experience, the more educated sociopaths I've encountered in my life were a great deal more ruthless and covert, but like I said, that has been my experience. I'm sure other people have had completely opposing experiences. It seems to me that one of the goals of higher education is to enhance natural abilities and skills. It only seems logical that if a person has a natural tendency and skill to use manipulation they will become better at this with more education and training, in addition, their audience will also become wider. Does that make sense? I wasn't smashing higher education. I was merely stating what seems to me to be a logical progression of a persons abilities (that is if manipulation can be considered an ability). Anyway, this thread reminds me of the book, "The Sociopath Next Door".
 
i'm quite serious when i say that this is one of the chief reasons i don't listen to anyone in power.
i listen to me. if it doesn't seem right to me then the government of me vetoes it.

It's all you can do. Especially when ulterior motives are as commonplace in any key decision as they are today.
But I know that the government of ME didn't know what it stood for either without considerable work - I had to regain my natural discernment.

Mhmmm...I didn't think you were knocking education, as in, the gathering of knowledge.
But there are certainly cultures and big egos within higher education because the teachers are disseminating their ideas.
I find it difficult to imagine, say, an economics student at Harvard who fundamentally disagreed with Neoliberalism having a good time.

Higher education is a good thing which adds to a person's good.

True, education is empowering, as is money and influence, but these things are not bad in themselves.

If a good person is empowered, by education, a greater good results; and a greater bad, from the bad. But this is not because of education.

Even the worst psychopath must be good at something, in order to exercise bad power over others. For example, a doctor of finance must at least be good at his business - and this is a good thing in itself. However, the power that comes with his ability is what is used maliciously.

Nobody has criticised education, as in the free gathering of knowledge, to the degree level and beyond.
But 'higher education' implies an institution and these are corruptible meaning higher education could become bad in and of itself.
This is assuming that the knowledge disseminated is not balanced or in line with the values of a society and serves to indoctrinate rather than enlighten. One way this could happen is that passing through this institution of indoctrination is the only way to access most routes to material prosperity. An enormous burden of personal debt would ensure that this single form of prosperity becomes the students' top priority upon graduation.

These are some pretty scary and sensationalist right-wing websites. One of them actually has a section dedicated to martial law, talks about a 'Great American Genocide', is full of references to the Bible (especially damnation), and seems to be promoting another red scare. The other site features an ad for a book called 'American Jihad', the synopsis of which makes it seem eerily reminiscent of the Turner Diaries, complete with the belief that anyone who commits practically any 'crime', including having dual citizenship should be executed.

I'd be willing to believe that some CEOs and politicians are psychopaths... in fact, there are plenty of articles about this kind of thing online, so I'm not sure why you needed to link to one through these batshit insane schlock sites.

Hopefully now in the age of information psychopaths will be exposed much more than before and with the unity the internet brings us we will continue breaking the old 'divide and conquer' and have more influence as aware civilians on who gets elected where.

I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Are you saying that higher education is purely good and in it's role as facilitator has no responsibility in the negative actions of human beings?
 
Education is power, like money, like intelligence and like many other things.

What is good or bad is the intention behind a person's choice on how to use power, whatever form of power that would be.

Higher education refers to intellectual growth under guidance - and perhaps moral growth, in a limited sense.

Character and moral formation, as well as elementary knowledge constitutes basic education. The educators in this field are primarily the parents, with the assistance of teachers. Realistically, most parents shirk this responsibility, resulting in uncouth individuals.

Interestingly, in most non-English languages the term to describe rude, inconsiderate, undisciplined, or malicious individuals is literally the term "uneducated".


So, to answer your question, higher education in itself is good; and any moral deviance is the responsibility of the individual, and the parents are also responsible, albeit remotely.
 
Higher education refers to intellectual growth under guidance - and perhaps moral growth, in a limited sense.

What guidance? And what if what is orthodox is, by the generally agreed upon standards of morality, morally suspect?

Such an ill-conceived morality can only be passed on to children by people who do not truly love them.
Unexamined acceptance and transmission of questionable norms is a function of impatience and a desire to get through child-rearing with the minimum expenditure of time and effort.
