About Psychopaths
Psychopaths are social predators, and like all predators, they are looking for feeding grounds. Wherever you get power, prestige, and money, you will find them.
Robert Hare
Too many people hold the idea that psychopaths are essentially killers or convicts. The general public hasn't been educated to see beyond the social stereotypes to understand that psychopaths can be entrepreneurs, politicians, CEOs and other successful individuals who may never see the inside of a prison.
Robert Hare
The vast majority of psychopaths, like an iceberg, are underwater, and like an iceberg, they are inert. They do nothing. They're just there. They torment their spouse by being unempathic, but they don't beat her or kill her. They bully coworkers, but they don't burn the office. They are not dramatic. They are pernicious. Most psychopaths are subtle. They are more like poison than a knife, and they are more like slow-working poison than cyanide.
Sam Vaknin
"Narcissists (especially psychopaths) are utilitarian, pragmatic, flexible, multi-purpose machines. They have "x-ray" vision. They are able instantly to diagnose the weaknesses, vulnerabilities, soft spots, predilections, fears, hopes and emotional needs of everyone around them and put it to use instantaneously, relentlessly and ruthlessly."
Sam Vaknin, Malignant Self-Love
"All for ourselves and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the Masters of Mankind."
Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations
"I'm just saying that statistically, a psychopath is more likely to end up as a CEO than a serial killer."
Jennifer Lynn Barnes, The Naturals
"Psychos are in uniform circulation in society."
Pawan Mishra, Coinman: An Untold Conspiracy
"As institutional psychopaths, corporations are wont to remove obstacles that get into their way."
Joel Bakan, The Corporation
"I heard a story about her once," said James. '"She was interviewing a psychopath. She showed him a picture of a frightened face and asked him to identify the emotion. He said he didn't know what the emotion was, but it was the face people pulled just before he killed them."
Jon Ronson, The Psychopath Test
Quotes About Psychopathic Situations
"There have been countless occasions, since the end of the second world war, where the CIA has overthrown governments, or suppressed movements for social change and they've hidden their movements enough so that the White House, when they're questioned about this, can deny that the U.S. was involved."
William Blum, America's Deadly Export Democracy
"ALL vaccines are and have been causing ischemic (impaired blood flow thus low oxygen levels) damages – to all – creating a plethora of chronic illnesses, disease, and in some instances…death. The injury from vaccination is additive, each vaccination further injuries."
Doctor Andrew Moulden B.A., M.A., M.D., PhD
“Dr. Moulden could not ignore the fact that vaccines were the greatest threat to human health in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. He could not ignore it, because it was literally staring him in the eyes as he looked at the faces of his patients. He could see the evidence of cranial nerve damage caused by vaccines when he observed the abnormal facial expressions and movements of the eyes of those who had been exposed to vaccines. Dr. Moulden was convinced that the widespread use of large numbers of vaccines did not mark the beginning of a new age of disease-free living, rather they introduced a new era of universal sickness.”
Dr. Leonard Horowitz, D.M.D, M.A., M.P.H., D.N.M (hon.) and D.M.M (hon.)
Madeleine Albright - Secretary of State for President Clinton interviewed by Leslie Stahl of CBS News 60 Minutes, May 12, 1996.
The U.S. had placed an extensive embargo on Iraq to get the people of Iraq to turn against their leader, Saddam Hussein. The embargo prevented water purification equipment, medical equipment, medical supplies and many other things needed for people to survive, so a lot of people died, especially children. Leslie Stahl asks Madeleine Albright, "We have heard that a half a million children have died… I mean that's more children than died in Hiroshima and… yanno, is the price worth it?" Without hesitating a second and without disputing the number, Albright replies.
"I think this is a very hard choice… but, the price, we think the price is worth it."
Hillary Clinton - Secretary of State 2009–2013 jokes with a reporter between interviews on CBS News in 2011 talking about the leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, whom she helped to oust by arming rebels who captured and killed him turning the once thriving country, with the highest standard of living in Africa, 143 tons of gold, and oil reserves; into failed state.

Mike Pompeo - U.S. Secretary of State: ""I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses (big laugh)."
George M. White , Federal Narcotics Officer, OSS Counterintelligence Officer, CIA Bureau Chief (quote refers to his decade of work for the CIA).
“Where else could a red-blooded, American boy lie, kill, cheat, steal, rape and pillage with the sanction and blessing of the all-highest.”
Donald Rumsfeld at the Pentagon news conference, 2-12-2002
“The reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me. Because, as we know, there are known knowns, there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns, that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But they’re also unknown unknowns, the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”
Henry Kissinger - Secretary of State and National Security Advisor for Nixon and Ford
“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls the money can control the world.”
Edward L. Bernays was the Father of Propaganda (nephew of Sigmund Freud) and created the term, Public Relations Counselor. His 1928 book, "Propaganda" opens with these lines.
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized.”
Barack Obama - remarks at 2010 White House Correspondents' Dinner

Q: Do you have any hobbies?
A: I like to go home, get a drink, generally of a non-alcoholic nature since I don’t drink, and then tear the tops off of small animals.
David Rockefeller - Speech at 1991 Bilderberg Group meeting
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. . . . The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”
