From the page: "Civilization, as we know it, is largely the creation of psychopaths. All civilizations, our own included, have been based on slavery and â€oewarfare.” 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.

Thanks "Dolcezza." The proper psychological perspective of history and managing societies.

  Twilight of the Psychopaths by Dr. Kevin Barrett  "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."

'psychopaths', 'maniacs', 'insane', 'temporarily-insane imitators', 'non-psychopaths'...........It's very difficult to read an article, let alone take it seriously, when it's peppered with these words. I'm all for free speech, but I really wish people would learn about psychology before they start using these terms so readily in supposedly serious posts. EDIT: Yes I agree - it does also encourage stigma. 'Psychopathy' or antisocial personality disorder (the latter of course doesn't sound so dramatic though) is what it says on the tin - a personality disorder, and NOT a mental illness. Most serial killers are certified 'sane', which of course doesn't have the same effect in the headline: 'Perfectly sane person killed X amount of people.' It's highly unlikely that the people referred to in this article are suffering from mania either. When someone suffers from a psychotic illness or is having a psychotic episode they are not likely to be doing the things described in this article, eg, mind control experiments, I shouldn't think.

Excellent article on Psychopaths in power. From the page: "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, 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)."

So-called conspiracy theorists, some of whom deserve the pejorative connotation of that much-abused term, often imagine that secret societies of Jews, Jesuits, bankers, communists, Bilderbergers, Muslim extremists, papists, and so on, are secretly controlling history, doing dastardly deeds, and/or threatening to take over the world. As a leading "conspiracy theorist" according to Wikipedia, I feel eminently qualified to offer an alternative conspiracy theory which, like the alternative conspiracy theory of 9/11, is both simpler and more accurate than the prevailing wisdom: The only conspiracy that matters is the conspiracy of the psychopaths against the rest of us.
