The Other World
Introduction to Psychopathy.
In future chapters we’ll explore a pattern of activities exhibited by
several groups that have been hyperactively establishing control of the
planet, as well as a method known as
problem-reaction-solution that rulers have used to set up dictatorships.
So, to better understand the ruthless mind-set necessary for such
practices it will be helpful to have an understanding of psychopathy.
Psychopathy is a character deficiency that includes traits and behaviors
such as: unreliability, failure to learn by experience, lack of
insight, an absence of delusions or nervousness, superficial charm,
charisma, frequent lying, deceitful and manipulative behavior, and a
lack of conscience.
Other traits are: a poverty of general emotions, lack of remorse or
shame, incapacity for love and empathy, antisocial behavior, frequent
need for excitement, an inflated ego, an ability to rationalize
destructive behavior, and a need to have power over others.
It is present in about 4% of the population, that is, one in twenty-five people.
1
Psychopaths can be found in every race, culture, profession, and
class. The significant amount of damage they cause is common. Other
terms that have been used to describe psychopathy include Antisocial
Personality Disorder (APD), Conduct Disorder (CD), and sociopathy. APD
and CD are used to describe these character types in the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV. The term
sociopath, although not an actual medical term, is used by some as a substitute for psychopath.
Those who believe the deficiency is caused by environmental factors
use the term sociopath, and believers of the biological theory use the
term psychopath. Researchers seem to differ regarding traits, terms,
and the degree of disturbances that constitute a diagnosis. However, it
is generally agreed that these terms are similar. So for the scope of
this study they are synonymous.
It is important to note that psychopaths don’t simply have a
diminished capacity for remorse, empathy, or love, but a complete
inability to experience these emotions. They have literally no
conscience whatsoever.

A conscience has been described as a need to do right or be good. It
leads to feelings of remorse, shame, or guilt when people do things
that are against their moral values. It also causes feelings of
goodness and integrity when we view our actions as correct. It can be
viewed as a result of biological drives that influence people to avoid
causing fear and hatred in others. In order to have a conscience, a
person must be able to identify themselves with others. They must have
empathy.
Cause
The exact cause of psychopathy is unknown. It appears to be the
result of environmental or biological factors. It may be hereditary,
although this hasn’t been confirmed. Some types of brain scans can
allegedly detect psychopathy by measuring responses to questions which
should trigger emotional reactions. It is usually untreatable and
incurable. Therapists will often not work with them due to their
pathological lying.
There are social rules that most adults learn to live by and follow
without thinking because they’re so basic. Human beings automatically
trust each other to follow these social rules. They trust that, despite
their shortcomings, they’re all at least trying to contribute to the
human race. However, on a fundamental level, some people are radically
different. Researchers describe psychopaths as having an empty hole in
their psyche where the most evolved of human functions should be.
In his book
Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes,
Dr. Andrew Lobaczewski explains that the reason for this is that these
individuals do not have certain information that exists on a basic
level, which he refers to as the
instinctive substratum.
The instinctive substratum is essentially a set of instructions that
is a vital part of the life of individuals and entire societies. It was
developed over a period of time as the human species lived in groups.
It contains information, wisdom, and particularly, an emotional content
that allows people to develop their feelings and social bonds.
The necessity for a social structure and the need to play a worthy
role within the structure is encoded at this level. It also has
information that counters our self-preservation instinct that compels us
to want to contribute to the human race, rather than exclusively to our
own personal interests.
This common substratum plays a critical role in linking us to
society. It enables us to perceive other people’s emotional states. It
allows us to detect and understand human customs and moral values. It
has allowed civilizations throughout the centuries to create human,
social, and moral concepts that are notably similar. Basically, this
substratum is critical for the survival of the human species.
Beginning in infancy, it starts to stimulate activities that allow
for the development of higher mind functions, and the formation of our
character. A more subtle structure is then built upon this substratum
as we grow older, eventually becoming an observable part of our
personality. This common substratum applies to most normal people.
However, each society has a minority of people who are not normal.
This does not include people who are statistically abnormal, such as
those with very high intelligence. Instead, it pertains to individuals
who are both statistically small in number and who contain an irregular
substratum. These individuals can affect millions of others in negative
ways. Such individuals are carriers of a substratum which contains gaps
regarding emotional information that is responsible for the deficits of
higher feelings, as well as abnormalities in psychological, moral, and
social concepts.
Upon this irregular substratum, such an individual’s character
develops. As this happens, character defects develop in conjunction
with these gaps. The result of the individual’s character formation
upon this foundation has been called psychopathy.
It is taken for granted and self-evident that underneath it all we’re
all basically the same. However, it has been suggested that these
people are not quite human as we know it. A person carrying a deviation
on this level will be more distinguishable among his own race and
time-period than a person with a normal substratum living in a
different time-period or culture.
The emotional content which these characters lack on this basic level
impairs their ability to self-reflect, which is an important part of
personal growth. Self-reflection occurs during disintegrative and
integrative periods when we undergo changes caused by life events.
These are usually uncomfortable periods.
These events cause us to perform internal inspections of our
character. During these times, changes are made to our personalities.
Errors are corrected. New outlooks are formed. These changes are then
integrated into our personality and help us pass through the
disintegrative stage.
Positive feelings which we experience after passing through these
stages validate our new outlook. We see things differently. The
conditions we survived take on a new meaning. It is a type of
purification. We achieve a higher level of understanding of the laws of
life. We understand ourselves and others better. Basically, we grow.
High-level emotions play an essential role in guiding us through a
normal developmental process. They are responsible for the act of
self-reflection and serve as confirmation signals that we have
successfully completed a stage of growth. The combination of emotions
such as empathy, shame, guilt, and remorse, as well as a biological
drive to do well, are considered a conscience. The conscience triggers
the act of self-reflection.
If the issues that led to the disintegration have not been resolved
because the uncomfortable feelings were repressed, the circumstances
were too overwhelming, we lacked the information necessary for
reintegration, or some other reason, then the results are devolutionary.
In this case our personalities contract. We become smaller. This is
a type of retreat where our psyche retains the sensation of failure.
To compensate, our egos become larger. We become neurotic and more
difficult to get along with.
Dr. Lobaczewski mentions that due to the emotional deficiency on a
very basic level, psychopaths are unable to access these high-level
emotions which are critical for personal growth. They are unable to
self-reflect. Therefore, they are unable to grow. They are basically
stuck. It appears that perhaps unconsciously these characters are able
to understand that this process is necessary, but are unable to complete
its phases due to their emotional deficiency.
The inflation of the ego (e.g. selfishness, a need for power,
immaturity, a sense of entitlement, beliefs of superiority) is a
substitute for growth. Or, in other words, it is a type of
false-self that allows them to consciously deal with their failure.
Profile
Outline
Psychopaths are completely aware of being different, which is why
they go out of their way to conceal themselves. Although they are able
to hide their beliefs and traits from others, their psychological makeup
is amazingly consistent.
They all exhibit antisocial or aggressive behavior whether overt or
covert, they are all egotistic, they all demand whatever they believe
they are entitled to, they all appear selfish, they all demand that
others respect them or submit to them. And foremost, they must have
power over others.
Like normal people, some are lazy, others are ambitious. Some are
very smart, others are not. Most are somewhere in between. The less
intelligent ones are driven to satisfy basic needs such as food or sex.
These individuals may be less charming, they may attempt to deceive in
blunt ways, and then resort to abusive demands when their tactics fail.
Others have better manipulation skills, using charm and verbal
fluency to get others to submit. These individuals may seek high-level
positions of power, control, or fame.
Whatever their position, their lives are reduced to an endless game
of attempted domination over others. They manipulate and attack others
in ways that are often undetectable. They do so not just to accomplish
their goals but because they find it enjoyable. It offers them
excitement and sadistic pleasure.
Their World
Psychopaths view the world much differently than normal people.
Researchers vary in their opinions as to whether or not a normal person
can ever understand this different world. It has been stated that
normal people using the common worldview will not be able to understand
how psychopaths think.
There are several factors regarding the worldview of the psychopath.
First, there is their self-image, next is the way they see others, and
finally, the way they see the world. Psychopaths see themselves as
superior to normal people. They see normal people in the following
ways: objects, obstacles, targets, simple to deceive, naive, weak,
inferior, a separate species.
An important consideration here is that these individuals do not
regard normal people as human beings worthy of any compassion
whatsoever. They absolutely despise weakness. In fact, they become
experts in the weaknesses of normal people. They are completely aware
of being different. They understand that they live in a separate world
and must conceal themselves. They are also aware that most people are
not aware that this other world exists.
Because they do not have access to certain emotions, psychopaths view
the behavior of normal people as curious or silly. The emotional
reactions of normal people appear to be strange or even funny to them.
They also think that that the emotional lives of others are as empty as
theirs.
In addition to seeing themselves as superior creatures, they believe
their worldview is superior to that of the normal person’s. The
worldview of normal humans is considered by psychopaths to be
incomprehensible and without justification. They view the social
structure dominated by normal people as a system of force and
oppression. They see the customs and ethics of such a society as
foreign, silly, and ridiculous. For instance, they see religion as
foolish.
They know the difference between right and wrong but don’t allow it
to limit their behavior. They can’t understand why so many others are
unwilling to deceive people. They even think that others don’t have a
conscience and are play acting, and therefore, rationalize that at least
they’re being real in a society of phonies.
Psychopaths construct their separate worldview while functioning in a
society of normal people and easily perceive the flaws of the common
worldview used in such a society. In fact, they rely on these flaws.
More on worldviews will be covered shortly.
No Conscience
A conscience allows us to determine whether our actions are right or
wrong. It leads to feelings of remorse, shame, or guilt when people do
things that are against their moral values. It also causes feelings of
goodness and integrity when we view our actions as correct.
It inspires people to avoid causing fear and hatred in others. In
order to have a conscience, one must understand that they are the same
as others on a very basic level. Psychopaths have no conscience.
Psychopaths exist in a primarily cognitive world. They are
completely unable to feel high-level emotions such as love, compassion,
remorse, guilt, or shame. They are also unable to accurately detect
these emotions in others. Psychopathy is basically an emotional
disorder.
Psychopaths do experience primitive emotions such as frustration,
anger, rage, envy, and hatred, as well as minor hints of depression.
They also experience sadistic pleasure and excitement. Although they
don’t experience high-level emotions, they are fully aware that most
people have them. Many even take time to mimic them in order to blend
in and manipulate their victims better.
During conversations, they avoid words with emotional content because
they do not understand them. However, they may deliberately use them
if they believe it will advance an act of deception. Trained observers
can usually detect this type of acting because the proficiency they
achieve in faking emotions is shallow.
Intelligence/Professions
Measured by standardized tests, their intelligence is about average
or slightly lower than normal. Psychopaths as a group are not highly
intelligent. Neither are they gifted artists or craftsman. They also
exhibit a lack of wisdom which appears to have no impact on their IQ.
Academically, they are similar to normal people. The common myth of
their “genius” (which they like to play upon) is really attributed to
the special skills they develop which allow them to deceive and
manipulate people.
On average they are not as goal oriented as normal people. Although,
they frequently brag about how ambitious they are. Many graduate from
college or obtain other professional credentials, usually by working the
system rather than genuine effort. Once in the workforce, they usually
avoid tasks that they consider boring or difficult.
Psychopaths function fine as lawyers, doctors, psychiatrists,
teachers, police officers, military personnel, mercenaries, business
people, politicians, writers, artists, actors, cult leaders, and many
other professions without breaking the law.
Their careers, family, social skills, and other circumstances are
part of their mask. The true difference between these psychopaths and
the ones that end up in prison is that they are better at appearing
normal. Although they may attain positions of high status and success,
they are parasitic in nature and prefer to live off the efforts of
others.
Whatever their job, they engage in repeated acts of deception and
manipulation. They manipulate and attack the people around them as
often as they can without getting caught. They do this both for
personal gain and simply because it gives them a thrill.
Egotism/Power/Rationalization
Psychopaths have tremendous egos. That is, they have an inflated
self-worth or a grandiose sense of who they are. They demand that
others respect and submit to them. They are conceited, boastful, and
selfish.
The ego has been described as the thinking “I” or the “self” which
views itself as separate from others and the world. It is part of the
psyche that experiences and reacts to the outside world. It perceives
and adapts to reality.
It is the organized part of the personality structure that is
responsible for a variety of mental processes such as judgment,
tolerance, reality-testing, control, planning, defense, information
processing, intellectual functioning, and memory. Psychopaths exhibit
egoism (also called egotism or selfishness) in the extreme. Egoism is
the view that morality is ultimately determined by one’s own
self-interest. It is the belief that self-interest is the correct
motive for all human conduct and that it is the valid end of all
actions.
Psychopaths have a need for complete power and domination.
Therefore, they are excessively prone to seek positions in society where
they can have power over others. All exhibit overt or covert
antisocial/aggressive behavior.
They believe they are entitled to demand what they think is
rightfully theirs. They think it is their right to take things that
normal people would consider a violation of boundaries. This usually
makes them appear selfish. They also don’t like to wait for things.
They demand them immediately.
They have an ability to rationalize any type of behavior, no matter
how harmful, so that it appears warranted. They are able to do this in a
manner which can persuade reasonable people that their behavior is
justified. They also don’t like to take responsibility for their
actions, and may deny them.
Poor Behavioral Control/Unreliability
Psychopaths exhibit poor behavior controls, frequently expressing
irritability and impatience. For instance, they may quickly become
angry, then, just as quickly let it go. During these fits they may use
threats or verbal abuse. They are consistently irresponsible and
unreliable, even about important things relating to their situations.
They make poor life judgments and fail to learn from experience. They
exhibit a lack of insight concerning themselves.
Lying/Thrill Seeking
Psychopaths are deceitful and manipulative. They are known for their
pathological lying. They will lie about anything under any
circumstances. While lying, they can appear completely sincere as a
result of proper body language.
They are perfectly capable of making eye contact and are likely to
exploit the widespread misconception that those who make eye contact are
telling the truth. Telling lies does not change their physiology.
When they’re caught in a lie they are able to alter the storyline to
make it appear believable. Their ability to lie with absolute impunity
is incredible. Their lies are said to be so potent that most people
instinctively trust them. Their lies often advance a goal.
When most people lie, there is usually an observable reason.
Typically, something of value has been gained. However, psychopaths
will also lie about things that most people wouldn’t waste energy lying
about. In other words, they will lie when they stand nothing to gain of
apparent value. Researchers suggest that this is because they find it
pleasurable. Deceiving people gives them a thrill.
Psychopaths require considerable excitement to keep from becoming
bored. So they frequently partake in thrill-seeking, which may cause
them to move from relationship to relationship, or to seek new ventures.
It also results in risk taking in social, financial, and legal areas,
as well as physical risk taking. In addition, psychopaths will attack
people simply because they think it is fun.
Special Abilities and Advantages
Apparently, due to their deficiencies in certain psychological and
moral knowledge, they develop what some researchers describe as special
abilities which most normal people do not have. These abilities give
them an advantage over most normal people. I’ve categorized these in
major areas that include perception, manipulation, attacks, and
concealment.
Psychopaths learn to recognize each other at an early age. They
develop an awareness of being radically different from those around
them. They are better than most normal people at perceiving the
intellectual lives of others. They have a special type of insight into
the psyche of others, which allows them to read people and size them up
very quickly. This includes the detection of any likes, dislikes,
motives, needs, weak spots, and vulnerabilities. This information can
be instantly used for manipulation.
Their impression management skills allow them to manipulate people.
They appear alert, friendly, and easy to talk with. There is nothing
noticeably odd about them. They seem to be happy and well-adjusted
people. They are usually entertaining and are capable of telling
fascinating stories that seem believable. They tend not to be
delusional, irrational, anxious, or neurotic. Many are quite likable.
Some psychopaths also have what seem to be excellent communication
skills, which are enhanced by their tendency to initiate conversations
due to a lack of inhibition. During an initial conversation, their
speech is characterized by a type of verbal fluency which flows with
ease. Their messages are usually filled with jargon, clichés, and other
flamboyant phrases.
These communication skills are more apparent than real because the
actual content of their message is minimal. In addition, although their
use of words appears to be correct, a closer observation reveals that
they are improperly used.
This may not be obvious to a casual observer because people often pay
more attention to the way messages are delivered rather than the
content. Regardless of the lack of content, the messages are delivered
in a confident manner. Other attributes which allow them to manipulate
people during conversations include charm, seduction, persuasiveness,
and charisma.
They can also instantly adjust their con as the situation changes to
suit their plan. They are masters of impression management. When
interacting with such an individual, most people would not suspect they
were dealing with a psychopath.
However, some of the less intelligent ones are not as smooth. They
don’t have the social or communication skills to interact with people.
Instead, they rely on threats, coercion, intimidation, and violence to
dominate and control others.
Like their true personalities, their attacks are usually concealed,
causing emotional and psychological damage. Their special insight into
the psyche of others allows them to easily terrorize most normal people.
Because they understand that they are radically different, many of their efforts are geared toward creating a
mask
of sanity. They go out of their way to appear normal and decent. They
are also natural actors. Furthermore, because it is assumed that we
all have a conscience; it is almost effortless for psychopaths to
conceal themselves.
Researchers who interact with them describe them as social chameleons
and invisible human predators. They are able to mask not only who they
really are but also their intentions. They can carry on this deception
for extended periods.
In addition to these abilities, they posses an ability to lie with
complete sincerity; an ability to rationalize any type of behavior in
ways that appear convincing; and a lack of human emotions such as love,
empathy, and remorse which allow them to carry out their acts. Plus
they have an aggressive/assertive personality which allows them to take
the initiative in certain environments. Some who are intelligent can
also use their mental skills to their advantage.
Their special knowledge, however, loses its influence when normal
people learn to understand them. Because the intelligence of normal
people is usually superior, normal people can learn to understand how
they think and act.
Negative Behavior
Dr. Reid Meloy explains in his book
The Psychopathic Mind
that these characters suffer from a type of unconscious inferiority
complex, which is obscured from their conscious self. According to Dr.
Meloy, their hatred and envy of those they consider superior is the
driving force for their behavior.
3
Dr. Lobaczewski similarly suggests that their hyperactive need to
achieve power over others is driven by internal anxieties which are a
result of their inability to grow. In his book,
People of the Lie, Dr. M. Scott Peck arrived at the same conclusion.
These researchers advise that the extreme egotism displayed by these
individuals, with all of its traits (e.g. selfishness, entitlement, need
for domination and power, perpetual lying, etc.) serves the primary
purpose of fooling themselves rather than others. Motivated by these
internal anxieties, they pursue goals and engage in battles that normal
people would consider impractical, immature, or foolish. Normal people
observing their behavior might be perplexed.
When a normal person applies logic within the common worldview to
determine why a psychopath has committed an act, they will be baffled.
The application of such logic may take the form of statements such as:
Why
would they do something like that when they have gained nothing? That
was foolish. That makes no sense, why would they do that? This type of reasoning is irrelevant when dealing with psychopaths.
Realizing the immaturity of antisocial characters is critical to
understanding their behavior. Their chronological age or position in
society should not be considered an indication of their maturity level.
Some of their absurd acts and goals make perfect sense when you adjust
your outlook to view them as being perpetrated by degenerate children.
Attacks/Manipulative Cycling
Most psychopaths don’t technically break the law and most never to go
prison or mental hospitals. They lead seemingly normal lives by not
hurting people in ways that attract attention. Their attacks are
usually covert and subtle.
They are typically not held accountable for the physical, emotional,
and psychological damage they inflict. Few victims report them to the
police due to the shame they feel for being deceived. Although they
usually don’t commit crimes, their behavior is a type of crime within
the context of natural law.
As one of their special abilities, they can terrorize most normal
people, often in covert ways. Just as they are able to mask themselves
they can mask their attacks, which are often psychological and
emotional. Their subtle arsenal of tactics is designed to place people
on the defensive, make them retreat, or submit—all done while being
concealed.
Psychopaths need frequent amusement and like to play games with
people. Absent any goal, they will deceive and manipulate people
because they find it exciting. They feel sadistic pleasure while
mocking and controlling others. It offers them a thrill. To them it is
fun.
Many psychopaths focus on a single person at a time because it takes
much effort to maintain a facade for multiple different people
simultaneously. However, some do enjoy the challenge of running
multiple deceits. Some are opportunistic and will take advantage of
anyone. Others are more patient and wait for what they consider to be
the perfect victim. Some enjoy the challenge of attacking confident
people, while others prefer the weak and vulnerable.
Some may target groups because members usually subscribe to an
ideology which is easy to exploit. As long as they can appear to
support these beliefs while in the presence of the group, their true
motives won’t be discovered.
As we’ve learned, normal growth resulting from self-reflection is not
experienced by psychopaths. Instead, their egos become larger. They
do, however, engage in a type of ego maintenance, or what some
researchers describe as an
attack cycle or
manipulative cycling.
The manipulative cycling protects and enhances the inflated ego. Drs.
Paul Babiak and Robert Hare provide their version of the process which
has three phases, including assessment, manipulation, and abandonment.
During the assessment, psychopaths size people up to determine their
usefulness as a source of money, power, sex, influence, etc. As they’re
determining if a potential target serves a need, they’re also
identifying the person’s psychological strengths and weaknesses.
In addition to selecting people to attack for what they can provide,
they also select people they perceive as a threat to their survival. In
these cases, they’re not looking to obtain anything from the
individual, only to beat them into submission. Dr. Martha Stout refers
to this motive as
existential vengeance.
Upon closer inspection, we find that this motive serves another purpose.
It offers them the satisfaction of devaluing people they see as better
than themselves.
After they have determined that a person will be useful, they use
impression management skills consisting of charm and deceit to
manipulate the individual in order to gain their trust. While this is
happening, they’re making a great first impression. Upon this
impression, they create a fictitious character (a mask).
The mask can vary depending on what they’ve determined that the
victim needs to see. For instance, they can appear trustworthy, strong,
naive, dominant, honest, submissive, or whatever else will allow them
to gain someone’s trust.
The other trait which contributes significantly to their success in
gaining trust is their ability to lie with utter conviction. They
manipulate the potential victim by giving them carefully tailored
messages. The feedback from these messages is analyzed and adjusted to
build and maintain control. They then exploit from the person whatever
they’ve determined to be useful.
Because psychopaths view people as objects, their victims only have
value for what they can provide. So, once a person has been used, they
are discarded. The abandonment may also happen if they are bored or
otherwise just through with the individual. It is usually abrupt.
Worth mentioning again is the tendency for psychopaths to select
certain people to attack because they see the psychological destruction
of them as essential to their survival. Some specific traits exhibited
by those who are identified for such reasons include: those who are
morally admirable, classier, better looking, more popular, smarter, more
accomplished, etc. Psychopaths are said to derive the most sadistic
pleasure mocking, controlling, and humiliating such people.
Dr. Meloy, who describes psychopaths as the
embodiment of the hatred of goodness,
says that it is their hatred and envy of those they consider better in
some way that motivates their behavior. In addition, psychopaths will
preemptively attack anybody who they believe has a certain insight into
their true nature.
The cycle has been described as a type of purification process for
the psychopath. The apparent purpose is to remove value from the
targeted person (to devalue them). It appears important to the
psychopath that the person is degraded. This devaluation completes the
cycle. Most people who are attacked by these characters report feeling
drained and bewildered. Some researchers suggest there may even be
energy consumption.
Although psychopaths are able to keep up their facade for extended
periods of time, there are situations where certain people are able to
get a glimpse of their true identity.
4
First, astute individuals who are versed in psychology may spot them.
In addition, people who are able to observe them over a long period of
time will discover them.
Also, it requires much mental energy for them to maintain their
masks. They can’t do it constantly. They need to rest. And they
usually do this around individuals who they don’t see as a threat or
valuable. Such individuals are in a perfect position to provide normal
people with critical insight into their true identity.
Worldviews
In the following chapters we’ll see that the behavior demonstrated by
some influential groups is identical to the procedure for dictatorship
creation. To better understand the true nature of what is now
occurring, however, some readers may need to slightly alter their
worldview. This has already been accomplished to some extent now that
we understand that these people exist, and will be expanded upon at this
time.
Psychopaths exist in their own world and are able to perceive and function in the
other world
(the world of the normal people). It has been said that normal people
can learn their conceptual language quite well, but psychopaths are
never able to accurately understand the worldview of normal people.
Unlike the normal people, however, they are aware that this other
world exists. They interact with it daily. And in this other world are
the normal people with their silly ideas. While in this other world
they must conceal themselves from the normal people who are not aware of
their true nature.
They also know that the normal people have these things called
emotions which limit their behavior. They understand that they have no
such limitations. They see this limitation as a weakness. They also
realize how simple it is to terrorize these normal people.
Although they can maneuver in this world, some of it, such as its
customs of decency, is incomprehensible to them. The world of the
normal community is morally condemning for them. They despise it. They
frequently mock and cheat it. Their world has its own laws and
customs.
The
common worldview of the normal
person cannot conceive this other world. But just as someone can learn
and use a foreign language with some difficulty, by replacing their
common worldview with a modified version, a normal person can learn to
comprehend this other world. This does not imply that they fully
understand it or approve of it.
A worldview is a kind of world perception that individuals and
civilizations use as a guide to mentally orient themselves as they
interpret and interact with society. It helps them develop and use
knowledge. It includes concepts pertaining to religion, politics,
economics, culture, science, values, emotions, and ethics, as well as
opinions about what is true and false.
While instincts and other influences affect an individual’s
development of a worldview, the family, community, and environment play
considerable roles. Worldviews vary according to time, civilization,
and race. Despite the minor differences spanning these realms, a single
common worldview exists.
5
It is a synthesis of the societal concepts of various civilizations
and eras. This worldview is useful because it originated from the
natural experiences of societies which were relatively civilized.
However, this common worldview is not complete or highly accurate.
It contains flaws. For instance, it is not totally accepted, it lacks
data from many individual experiences which are essential, and it is not
applicable in certain situations.
Our civilization was insufficiently resistant to evil because it
develops beyond the commonly perceivable areas of human consciousness.
Specifically, within the common worldview there is a significant
distance between what is considered proper thought and psychological
reality. Another gap exists between legality and morality. Within
these chasms evil is born and thrives.
A careful observation of some factual historical and current events,
which will be provided in the chapters that follow, will reveal that the
common worldview is unrealistic. It is not consistent with objective
reality. It is a fantasy.
Psychopaths are completely aware that society is limited by the
common worldview. They count on such naivety. Their activities are
made possible by such unrealistic views. Protected by the common
worldview, they function freely in society, attacking the naive normal
people.
6
Summary
A considerable number of people in our society have no conscience.
They exhibit a need to have power over others and seek positions in
society which they believe will help them achieve it. They are often
successful because of their special abilities which allow them to
manipulate most normal people.
They can easily conceal themselves and their intentions. Most of
them move freely within society, hidden by the common worldview. They
see others as objects to deceive and control. They frequently attack
people for no reason other than feelings of sadistic pleasure. Most of
their attacks are not illegal.

According to some researchers, there is at least an additional 6% of
the population who aren't technically psychopaths, but who exhibit
antisocial traits. See the book
Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths go to Work by Paul Babiak, PhD, and Robert D. Hare, PhD.
2 Some researchers suggest that some of them have a conscience but can control it more so than normal people.
3 The theory that psychopaths attack others due to underlying feelings of inferiority is disputed by some.

A targeted individual (TI) can provide some insight into how this
technology is really used as well as the mind-set of the people who use
it. In future notes I'll explain some of my personal experiences as
well as my interpretation of the documentation based on these
experiences. However, because some of the behavior that I'll be
describing is usually relegated to people confined to a certain
chronological age group, some readers may have difficulty believing that
technology and resources are being used for such purposes. I've
noticed that their use of the state's resources to play foolish games is
the norm. A rational adult using the common worldview will probably
find this inconceivable. Therefore, as part of the worldview
adjustment, their value system, as described in their profile, must be
considered. For instance, having carried out an act of deception, no
matter how small, is a considerable gain for the psychopath. It has
value to them. It will be useful to remember that these people require
considerable excitement. They like to play games with people and mock
them.

Dr. Andrew Lobaczewski refers to the common set of societal beliefs
which prevent us from comprehending and explaining the beliefs and
behavior of psychopaths as the
natural worldview. I prefer the term
common worldview because I find that it more easily describes the universal nature of these views.

Just as the existence of an invisible monster that regularly attacked
people in their own towns would justify an enormous effort by world
leaders to warn as many people as possible, the existence of what is
thought to be a separate species of human beings living in your
communities should be considered to be one of the most important issue
affecting humanity, particularly because they have been identified as
the primary cause of historical atrocities. The naivety of the public
regarding this is partially due to the fact that there has been no major
effort by the various mental health agencies to warn them. In any
normal society such alerts would be issued. There appears to be two
primary reasons why this has not occurred. They are usefulness and
concealment. Psychopaths serve a purpose. According to Dr.
Lobaczewski, these and similar characters are installed in vital
positions to help run a system that is controlled from the top by people
like themselves. They are also used in the security forces. Dr.
Victor Frankl, a man who survived the Auschwitz death camp, provides an
account of his experience in his book,
Man's Search for Meaning: An Introduction to Logotherapy.
According to him, the Nazis would use sadists as a type of specialized
group who would find enjoyment in attacking prisoners in even the
smallest ways. When the evidence that has been presented so far is
combined with information that we'll be exploring in future chapters, a
pattern begins to emerge which suggests that there is a war against the
normal people that is directed by the incredibly wealthy psychopaths who
run our society. This war is taking place during the transition to a
single world government. As we'll learn, some of the interests that
built Nazi Germany and Communist Russia are behind this revolution.
Psychopaths are considered valuable to them because they are outnumbered
by decent people and they understand that there must be a steady supply
of them to attack the normal people. Not to say that all psychopaths
are in on it. Similar to the normal people, most of them are completely
unaware of it. Any type of awareness-raising campaign regarding
psychopathy would eventually expose the leaders of our society. They
would not allow the mental health system which they run to launch such
initiatives. Evidence which shows that the entire mental health
industry is controlled from the top by such people will be provided in
Volume IV.

When oil prices crashed in the early 1990’s Venezuela – once the most
modern nation in Latin America – suffered an economic collapse. Its
once-thriving middle class was largely thrown back into poverty. It was
a wake-up call.
