Leaders With No Conscience

As Osama bin Laden lay dying, December of 2001...might he have
imagined that seven years later he would be on bogeyman life-support,
still officially issuing messages as ruling poster boy for America's
mindless, force-fed terror obsession? The hammerlock on thoughts of
Americans by psychopathic leadership still depends on fairytale power
of Osama to help fuel the pathological War On Terror—could he have
foreseen this, Americans being so propagandized as to let the
lifeblood of their nation drip through their fingers, for lies?
Whatever Osama knew he'd accomplished surely pales in light of what
he has done since dying; if he had any inkling of this he must have
died smiling.
With characteristic deception our pathocracy implies that Osama has
somehow gotten vital dialysis treatments all these years at his
hideout in never-never (mind) land. Definition: pathocracy (n). A
system of government created by a small pathological minority that
takes control over a society of normal people (from Political
Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political
Purposes, by Andrew Lobaczewski).
The dialysis reality...a pesky detail easily smothered when reality
is yours for the creating.
Scott McClellan used the phrase "Culture of Deception" in the title
of his new book. In recent articles by Robert Parry, including,
Surprise, Surprise: Bush Lied, and, Losing the War for Reality, there
is much about the CIA's "perception management" really taking off
under Reagan, delivering more and more "politically desirable" data
to policy makers. Parry notes with usual incisive wisdom that a
crucial thing America's Founders did not anticipate: In an age of
overwhelming government secrecy combined with the sophisticated big-
money media we have today, that manipulation of
information...disconnect between policies founded on politically
desirable data (fully-cooked), and those rooted in the real world,
could kill the republic.
With lies getting up to our eyes, how much time remains to wake
up...?
Waffles of top-level Osama deception keep flopping from CIA Director
Michael Hayden; less than a year since warning of new threats from
resurgent al-Qaida, a recent Washington Post article by Joby Warrick
titled: CIA chief says al-Qaida's defeat looms, has Hayden
proclaiming that, "Osama bin Laden is losing the battle for hearts
and minds in the Islamic world and has largely forfeited his ability
to exploit the Iraq war to recruit adherents."
Seriously, Director Hayden, don't you think bin Laden's death in 2001
is a main factor in his recruitment drop-off? Death remains a
powerful inhibitor, no matter the official cooking. The entire Osama
bin Laden deception is a paradigm of our pathocracy's relationship
with truth.
Even more seriously, People, how can the CIA Director keep spewing
such outrageous, official deception without batting an eye? This is
our Central Intelligence Agency! If the entire agency were not privy
to bin Laden's death within weeks, same as everyone else in the world
involved in high-level intelligence...sounds akin to 19 Arab boys
with box cutters routing the defenses of the world's Superpower....
And how can The People, more and more of whom are finally seeing
through the Osama Bogeyman fabrications, as well as the false flag
reality of 9-11, and the diabolical War On Terror (war on truth?) not
feel powerful compulsion to do more about it all than simply voting—
which has over and over again proved...SO? The same answer satisfies
these questions—at least regarding America's deepening nadir, where
every day the reigns of psychopathic control at highest levels of
government stretch tighter.
It's not so much that power corrupts; but that the corrupt seek
power....
What about hope, a better future?
The forenamed book, Lobaczewski's seminal, Political Ponerology: A
Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes is
finally getting traction as a polestar of crucial truth. Articles
recently published that further cast illumination toward the shadowy
dominance of psychopaths—people without conscience—within
architectures of power, include Dr. Kevin Barrett's Twilight of the
Psychopaths. There's also Silvia Cattori's The Trick of the
Psychopath's Trade, with its exceptional interview of the editors of
Political Ponerology, Laura Knight-Jadcyck, and, Henry See. Then
there's Clinton Callahan's, Beware the Psychpaths, My Son, which
splendidly draws from both Barrett's and Cattori's articles. Also
essential reading for those seeking truth about the core problem
plaguing "civilization" from the beginning: Carolyn Baker's review of
Political Ponerology http://carolynbaker.net/site/content/view/440/
An advantage of psychopaths over people with conscience...people with
a "soul", is that lying is little different than breathing.
Psychopaths skate without remorse through behavior from which people
with conscience recoil, protecting their humanity with the comforting
blanket of, Oh! They'd never do THAT! Well, they do that, as
naturally as breathing. Recognition of psychopaths, the misery they
dump on everyone else, and on everything—and especially the knowledge
that they can easily be revealed—might be the most important advance
of all time regarding civilization more fitting of the name.
Developments in brain scanning technologies leave psychopaths with
nowhere to hide. One might think of it as X-ray vision regarding a
person's soul....
Of all the damage Cheney and BushCo have wreaked upon humanity, there
could be a redeeming quality in that people with conscience are
having their souls rubbed in levels of carnage that can only be
achieved by psychopaths reaching epitomes of power. Nothing new,
except the sheer scale of the lesson.
WARNING: Nothing is more dangerous than psychopaths in power being
revealed for what they are. Though genetic psychopaths are still a
small percentage of humanity, at all costs, they must be exposed, and
kept from power. However enormous those costs, they mean little
compared to what humanity will pay with continued psychopathic rule.
