They walk among us. On the outside. they're just like you and me, but on the inside they are unfeeling automatons who care only for themselves. They are the psychopaths, and they are in control of our governments, our corporations, our military and all of the positions of power. Join us this week on The Corbett Report as we delve into Political Ponerology, a diagnosis of our politicians and a brief look at the bigger picture.

Here is the basis for the rise and "ascension" of "belief" leaders whether religious (AKA gurus, rabbis/priests and popes) or political (AKA presidents, generals and monarchs):



Twilight Of The Psychopaths

by Dr. Kevin Barrett
Spanish version (http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_ponerology09.htm)


“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.”
– John Lennon, before his murder by CIA mind-control subject Mark David Chapman

When Gandhi was asked his opinion of Western civilization he said it would be a good idea. But that oft-cited quote, is misleading, assuming as it does that civilization is an unmitigated blessing.

Civilized people, we are told, live peacefully and cooperatively with their fellows, sharing the necessary labour in order to obtain the leisure to develop arts and sciences. And while that would be a good idea, it is not a good description of what has been going on in the so-called advanced cultures during the past 8,000 years.

Civilization, as we know it, is largely the creation of psychopaths. All civilizations, our own included, have been based on slavery and “warfare.” Incidentally, the latter term is a euphemism for mass murder.

The prevailing recipe for civilization is simple:

1. Use lies and brainwashing to create an army of controlled, systematic mass murderers

2. Use that army to enslave large numbers of people (i.e. seize control of their labour power and its fruits)

3. Use that slave labour power to improve the brainwashing process (by using the economic surplus to employ scribes, priests, and PR men). Then go back to step one and repeat the process.
Psychopaths have played a disproportionate role in the development of civilization, because they are hard-wired to lie, kill, injure, and generally inflict great suffering on other humans without feeling any remorse. The inventor of civilization — the first tribal chieftain who successfully brainwashed an army of controlled mass murderers—was almost certainly a genetic psychopath.

Since that momentous discovery, psychopaths have enjoyed a significant advantage over non-psychopaths in the struggle for power in civilizational hierarchies — especially military hierarchies.

Military institutions are tailor-made for psychopathic killers. The 5% or so of human males who feel no remorse about killing their fellow human beings make the best soldiers. And the 95% who are extremely reluctant to kill make terrible soldiers — unless they are brainwashed with highly sophisticated modern techniques that turn them (temporarily it is hoped) into functional psychopaths.

In On Killing (http://www.amazon.com/Killing-Psychological-Cost-Learning-Society/dp/0316330116/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208291611&sr=8-1), Lt. Col. Dave Grossman has re-written military history, to highlight what other histories hide: The fact that military science is less about strategy and technology, than about overcoming the instinctive human reluctance to kill members of our own species.

The true “Revolution in Military Affairs” was not Donald Rumsfeld’s move to high-tech in 2001, but Brigadier Gen. S.L.A. Marshall’s discovery in the 1940s that only 15-20% of World War II soldiers along the line of fire would use their weapons:

“Those (80-85%) who did not fire did not run or hide (in many cases they were willing to risk great danger to rescue comrades, get ammunition, or run messages), but they simply would not fire their weapons at the enemy, even when faced with repeated waves of banzai charges”
(Grossman, p. 4).

Marshall’s discovery and subsequent research, proved that in all previous wars, a tiny minority of soldiers — the 5% who are natural-born psychopaths, and perhaps a few temporarily-insane imitators—did almost all the killing.

Normal men just went through the motions and, if at all possible, refused to take the life of an enemy soldier, even if that meant giving up their own. The implication: Wars are ritualized mass murders by psychopaths of non-psychopaths. (This cannot be good for humanity’s genetic endowment!)

Marshall’s work, brought a Copernican revolution to military science. In the past, everyone believed that the soldier willing to kill for his country was the (heroic) norm, while one who refused to fight was a (cowardly) aberration. The truth, as it turned out, was that the normative soldier hailed from the psychopathic five percent.

The sane majority, would rather die than fight.

The implication, too frightening for even the likes of Marshall and Grossman to fully digest, was that the norms for soldiers’ behavior in battle had been set by psychopaths. That meant that psychopaths were in control of the military as an institution.

Worse, it meant that psychopaths were in control of society’s perception of military affairs. Evidently, psychopaths exercised an enormous amount of power in seemingly sane, normal society.

How could that be?

In Political Ponerology (http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/polpon/politicalponerologyccr.htm), Andrzej Lobaczewski explains that clinical psychopaths enjoy advantages even in non-violent competitions to climb the ranks of social hierarchies. Because they can lie without remorse (and without the telltale physiological stress that is measured by lie detector tests) psychopaths can always say whatever is necessary to get what they want.

In court, for example, psychopaths can tell extreme bald-faced lies in a plausible manner, while their sane opponents are handicapped by an emotional predisposition to remain within hailing distance of the truth. Too often, the judge or jury imagines that the truth must be somewhere in the middle, and then issues decisions that benefit the psychopath. As with judges and juries, so too with those charged with decisions concerning who to promote and who not to promote in corporate, military and governmental hierarchies.

The result is that all hierarchies inevitably become top-heavy with psychopaths

Only psychopaths?Would be good,but they are also:
-traitors;
-lairs;
-thieves and so on.
But the common characteristic is that they are extremely cowards,in any sense you can imagine,of anything and everyone,even from their close relatives.

The article above by Kevin Barrett is right on mark from the one-life-to-live viewpoint. He uses the term "genetic psychopath" and "This cannot be good for humanity’s genetic endowment!" So it appears he views psychopathy as a genetic function, not a spiritual one.

So these questions came to mind:

Is psychopathy/sociopathy a genetic phenomenon or a trait that a spiritual being carries from lifetime to lifetime?

Are certain beings innately psychopathic and cannot be changed?

Are all psychopathic beings a result of deep programming that endures from lifetime to lifetime and therefore can be rehabilitated by deprogramming?

Is psychopathy curable? We don't seem to have found the cure yet, but if we could find a cure that does not incite witchhunts would the cure be permanent?

I found from my own past life research/therapy that it can be deeply programmed and can surface in a future lifetime. One example is that I had a tall Gray body a very long time ago and lived a very satisfying life (unlike the Grays we are dealing with now). I was captured and programmed MKUltra-style to be like my captors who hated Grays. In a lifetime, much later, I was inhabiting the same type of body as my captors and I was like a cosmic Hitler who hated Grays and even tried as a military leader to wipe out the Grays completely--like the only good Gray was a dead Gray--very psychopathic from my current lifetime perspective.

Of course, the example I just gave does not completely answer the questions above but it does show a possibility. It also shows that psychopathy can be programmed, as Kevin Barrett pointed out.

I would be interested in hearing from others on this forum who have done a great deal of past life work what they think about this subject.

I read this a while ago. On first read it seems impossible that so many soldiers would straight out refuse to fire their weapons. Then, after associating that boggling fact with the concept of psychopaths ruling the roost, the whole point was driven home for me. This is a very important and legitimate subject. One of the finest ways to see the reality of what is and put so many revered leaders into proper perspective. Winston Churchill indeed. Gives me a bit more perspective on why he was a good wartime leader and a bad peacetime leader. Psychopaths do not like peace.

I knew two vets in unrelated cases who told me about being MKUltra'd during the Vietnam War to kill innocent people in heinous ways. One of them was at the My Lai massacre and though he was a pretty tough guy, he broke down and cried when he tried to tell me what he had done there. He couldn't or wouldn't tell me what he did because he was so overcome with sorrow. Both guys were just regular people and not sociopathic.

[TrumanCash]

From my perspective, research and experiences it appears that the hidden psychopaths are the Annunaki. In my incarnation as Ramesses (Pharaoh Ramses II) I was told by the "gods" Ra and Ptah that if I didn't go out and fight the Hittites they would destroy all of Egypt, a threat that they could easily carry out. Perhaps the story of Sodom and Gomorrah was an example of that technology.

It appears that the psychopathic Annunaki and their co-conspirators are still in charge of planet Earth so the Earth humans at the top of the food chain may be coerced in like manner to continue the endless wars and establish a "new world order" with everyone chipped and imprisoned by the cashless beast system.

Of course, this kind of situation makes it very easy for psychopaths to be elevated into top positions in government, military, secret societies and religions as they are the most likely to enforce the edicts of the Annunaki.

I'm not sure what the solution to this problem is so I do all I can do to expose the Annunaki and their co-conspirators. So I think psychopathy/sociopathy is the basic, underlying problem that needs to be solved for both humans and ETs.
