Global Pathocracy

In September 2014, following French president Hollande’s announcement that France would not deliver the Mistral warship that was bought, paid for (and partially built) by Russia. I wasn’t just saying that for effect, I was definitely plunged into a black hole of despair at the realization that there really isn’t a single leader of any so-called civilized Western country, who has two neurons firing and an ounce of conscience.

Back when we left the US, disgusted at the actions of the Bush cabal, we chose France as our new home for a number of reasons, not least of which was that it stood firm against that horrifying misadventure that is now exposed to all the world for what it was: a psychopathic, imperialistic war for profit and resources. I’ll never forget the warning given to me by the mechanic who prepared my van for shipping: “You gotta watch out for those Frenchies; they are yellow-bellied back stabbers.” I was incensed by this because it seemed pretty obvious to me that any country/people that could stand up against the USA and say “no” to an illegal war against a country that clearly was not doing any of the things the Bush gang were accusing them of doing, had courage of conviction, not to mention the intellectual capacity to see through all the lies.

All I can say now is that, if Hollande and his cronies in power in France now do not see through the same lies about Russia, then the much vaunted education system in France has failed miserably; on the other hand, if he does see through the lies and is acting in this way regardless, then he is as psychopathic as the USA gang or he’s just a servile Authoritarian Follower who wants to be a member of The Club.

That, of course, leads to the point here: psychopathology. Again and again as I observe what is going on in the visible world of politics and foreign affairs, I am reminded of several things that Andrew Lobaczewski wrote in his seminal work about the operations of pathology in the halls of power. Now, Lobaczewski wrote his book based on experiences with both the Nazi regime and Soviet Russia, but he made it clear that ideologies with names such as “National Socialism” or “Communism” were not the issue: what was at issue was the network of pathological individuals who would insinuate themselves into these organizations, take them over on the inside, while keeping the front in place.

A simple example would be the Catholic monastic tradition infiltrated by perverts to use the advantages conferred on monks and priests to prey on children. That happens in political parties as well. I am reminded of a friend of mine whose father had been a staunch US Republican all his life, even attended the same school with George Bush Sr, and who said after 9-11.

Lobaczewski titled his book Political Ponerology, reclaiming for the use of science a word that means, in religious studies, “the study of evil, the nature of evil, the origin of evil, and evil in relation to the Divine Government.” It was this last subdivision of the definition that interested Lobaczewski, though his focus was on the study of evil in relation to what could be called normal human government inspired and motivated by conscience. Lobaczewski writes:

In the author’s opinion, Ponerology reveals itself to be a new branch of science born out of historical need and the most recent accomplishments of medicine and psychology. In light of objective naturalistic language, it studies the causal components and processes of the genesis of evil, regardless of the latter’s social scope. We may attempt to analyze these ponerogenic processes which have given rise to human injustice, armed with proper knowledge, particularly in the area of psychopathology. Again and again, as the reader will discover, in such a study, we meet with the effects of pathological factors whose carriers are people characterized by some degree of various psychological deviations or defects.
Ponerology describes the genesis, existence, and spread of the macrosocial disease called evil. Its causes are traceable and can be repeatedly observed and analyzed. When humanity manages to incorporate this knowledge into its natural worldview, it will have defensive potential as yet unrealized.

It is only with the tools of ponerology that one can fully fathom what is going on in our world today, so I suggest that the reader take a look at the Ponerology website and read some excerpts there to get a better idea of what I mean because I don’t want to belabor that point here.

Getting back to the main topic, I’ve had a Twitter account for some years though I seldom used it until a month or so ago, when I decided to overcome some of my inherent Luddite tendencies and take the plunge. What I found there is exactly described by John Whitehead in his article published by the Rutherford Institute: The American Delusion: Distracted, diverted and insulated from the grim reality of the police state.

One of the things he points out is that, it was just over a year ago that Edward Snowden exposed the police state that the USA has become (other countries following suit, of course), but for some peculiar reason, people don’t seem to be able to hold that thought long enough to utilize it to assess what is going on now. Think about it: you know that the US government lies to you ALL the time, and yet you allow yourself to be swayed by propaganda every day regardless?

This relates directly to an experience I had the other day on Twitter. Somebody posted a nasty comment about Obama and I just replied that it was obvious that Obama was just continuing the policies of the cabal behind the Bush administration – agreement to do so was the condition of his election. The guy came back with “Get a grip“, meaning, obviously, that there could be no comparison between Obama and Bush; Bush was the good guy and Obama was the bad guy.

Please! Stop and think! The NSA was doing all the stuff it is doing for a long, long time, and the earliest hints about it came out under Bush. It was Bush and the gang that started this whole mess in an overt way to begin with! The lies about Saddamn’s WMDs, the necessity to start an endless “War of/on Terror” and so forth. That was all the PNAC ideology in action. And now, Dan Froomkin of The Intercept writes:

In a lot of ways, we’re worse off today than we were under George W. Bush.

Back then, Bush’s extremist assault on civil liberties, human rights and other core American values in the name of fighting terror felt like an aberration.

The expectation was that those policies would be quickly reversed, discredited — and explicitly outlawed — once he was no longer in power.

Instead, under President Barack Obama, they’ve become institutionalized.

There will be no snapping back to a pre-Bush-era respect for basic human dignity and civil rights. Thanks to Obama, it’s going to be a hard, long fight.

In some cases, Obama has set even darker precedents than his predecessor. Massively invasive bulk surveillance of Americans and others has been expanded, not constrained. This president secretly condemns people to death without any checks or balances, and shrugs as his errant drones massacre innocent civilians. Whistleblowers and journalists who expose national security wrongdoing face unprecedented criminal prosecution.

In a few cases, Obama publicly distanced himself from Bush/Cheney excesses, but to little effect. He forswore torture, and promised to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay. But by actively covering up what happened in the U.S.’s torture chambers, and by refusing to hold the torturers and their political masters in any way accountable, he has done nothing to make sure that the next time a perceived emergency comes up, it won’t all happen again. And Gitmo, which he treated as a political rather than moral issue, is still very much open for business.

Obama is just the next puppet in line. And, rather fiendishly, the cabal that runs things decided that the puppet selected should be a black man to catapult the racial issue for their own purposes. That doesn’t make Obama innocent, of course; certainly not; he knew his role when he was selected to run and win the ‘election’ and he agreed to it; that makes him a part of the network of evil.

Here the point is: you can bet that what is happening on the political stage is all part of the PNAC plan that goes along with total NSA surveillance, turning ordinary citizens into terrorists, and so much more.
