Mr. de Nugent,
Knowing of your work for The Barnes Review and knowledge of history, can you shed some light on this and similar photos? -
I saved this a while back and don’t remember now from where it came. Besides the peculiarity of the sign being in German and English, what most intrigues me is that knowing this is likely well before the start of the war, because of the presence of the Sturmabteilung, or SA man in the photo, already Germany is trying to, as the sign infers, defend itself against “Jewish atrocity propaganda.”
Maybe this query would be more appropriate in the Revisionism section here at Stormfront, and I apologize for being presumptuous insofar as just seeming to want to make use of your thread to have my curiosity about an historical photo satisfied. Besides wanting to know the story behind this, though it’s probably from the 1930’s (?), it seems somewhat relevant today, in that the White western world, and particularly this burgeoning White rights movement, still is under a propaganda assault on all fronts from the Jewish dominated media. Even without further information, it’s obvious that some nefarious and intentionally deceptive event or events had already transpired (Kristallnacht, perhaps?) that necessitated the need for these posters to have been produced and distributed. Rather than there to stop people from entering the establishment, my guess is the SA man is there to both keep the sign from being torn down, and possibly to offer some information to anyone having questions or comments.
The old French adage of, “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose,” or, “The more things change, the more they stay the same,” is appropriate for another event I thought I’d share, for the benefit of those who might not be aware of it. President Nixon’s penchant for recording every conversation of his during his terms in office, have given us another thing that is proof of how ominous and ongoing is the Jewish information control here in the US and the rest of the world as well, in the form of these recorded comments between
the super popular and iconic Southern Baptist evangelist Billy Graham and President Nixon in 1972, regarding the overwhelming Jewish control of the media -
Graham: “This stranglehold has got to be broken or the country’s going down the drain”
Nixon: “You believe that?”
Graham: “Yes, sir,”
Nixon: “Oh boy. So do I. I can’t ever say that, but I believe it.”
Later in the conversation, Graham says this about some Jewish leaders: “They swarm around me and are friendly to me, because they know that I am friendly to Israel and so forth, but they don’t know how I really feel about what they’re doing to this country, and I have no power and no way to handle them.”
Though excerpts of this conversation can be found all over the Internet, virtually all omit the part where Graham also believes Jews to be responsible for “all the pornography.”
These two events – the posters in Germany and the Graham-Nixon exchange were nearly forty years apart, and here we are in the early 21st century still treading water against a tsunami of Jewish and leftist media disinformation. It can seem insurmountable, and may ultimately prove to be if we can’t muster the temerity to keep chipping away at it. It can likewise be awfully discouraging, the more one finds out both how long it’s been going on and how titans that have gone before us have been stymied attempting to slay this colossus. Maybe most discouraging of all is to witness not only the White masses, but your loved ones and close friends who’ve had their worldview formed by the ubiquitous Jewish dominated media, and as a result, are antagonistic at our attempts at inducing an epiphany aimed at their “salvation;” at least in this realm.

Dear Untiring (Unermüdlich)
But don’t we get TIRED of how Khazars never change!?! 
Because this people is laced with psychopathy. Psychopaths DON’T change, and every prison psychiatrist and psychologist can tell you that.
I suspect the photo above is from the late 1930s, possibly from after the 1938 Kristallnacht, since the sign is in both German and English. Goebbels and Hitler were highly aware of the attention the so-called Anglo-Saxon media (in the UK and USA) were giving that pogrom, and they and Goering were pushing heavily for all the so-called Jews (Khazars) to emigrate.
Note that NONE of the “Anglo-Saxon” countries actually wanted these Jews to emigrate to THEIR shores! The US, Canada, Australia and Britain herself would not take them. (I did a major, three-part study of how the Reich tried to find a new homeland for its Khazar “Jews” for The Barnes Review in the 1990s, together with my friend Ralph Grandinetti, under the name “Hitler’s Madagascar Plan.”
The Billy Graham-Richard Nixon conversation is very important to the section of my book designed for “born-again Christians.” I MUST break them of this ridiculous and recent HERESY that the Khazar Turks are somehow God’s chosen people, when they are in fact the unrepentant and very worst enemies of Christianity, and obscenely vilify Christ and his mother Mary.
The J-Team has gone to great lengths to corrupt Christianity since WWII with this judeoloatry. THEY understand how important it is to castrate Christianity as a source of justified antisemitism, and I understand how important it is to re-antisemitize Christians, and to remind them of the most basic fact: who killed Christ, the Pharisaci Jews then, and who still hates Him, the Talm,udic Jews now, and who is banning Christmas and prayer — the media Khazars — and who promoting a toxic, Noahide verson of “separation of church and state” that amounts to NO religion except direct worship of the Jews themselves as a collective Messiah people.
And somehow my five years with Jehovah’s Witnesses, where I read the Bible cover-to-cover three times, using their own slanted translation, the Catholic Jerusalem Bible, and the German Elberfelder Bibel, plus an interlinear New Testament containing the original koiné Greek — yes, folks, the New Testament was written in the Aryan language called Greek!!!!!! — all thyis JW time was preparatory to my mission to go back to Christians and tell them to rethink what Christ said and apply it to His killers:
Quote:
| Be innocent as doves and wise as serpents. |
That there is a time for peace and a time for war. We cannot always be gushing love and touchy-feely when we and our families are being exterminated. THAT is just cowardice justifying itself in a pseudo-form of love.
And THAT is the gist of the Billy Graham-Richard Nixon conversation: we fear the Jews. We both know we SHOULD do something about them, but we are too afraid.
And that is the message in comrade Stan Rittenhouse’s excellent book for Christians, For Fear of the Jews. FEAR.
Attention, Homeland Security: violent antisemitic domestic terrorist interferes with commerce in temple. Name: Jesus.
And that is the true and underlying emotion behind so-called Christian Zionism, this absurdity, this insane new heresy of Christians adoring Christ-killers.
And it all confirms the deep insight of Hitler in his Second Book:
“The hallmarks of our age are cowardice, irresponsibility and incompetence.”
===============
On the topic of incompetence, one part is to give a speech on the WN cause with no speech training and no real attempt to master the magnificent, soaring art of oratory!
Comrades praise my speeches — in fact, Henrik found a post online where one was saying “I’m going to that ‘Patriot Action” event in Boston in April so I can finally hear John de Nugent speak!” (here is a friendly link from a WN organization) –
– but little do they know that while I was born with a good voice (likely from my father) and my race gave me good genes to think, especially on my feet — I took voice lessons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I went to the old Columbia School of Broadcasting, at its branch near Arlington, Virginia, and I also paid five or six hundred dollars in 1980s money to private tutors, one of them a gorgeous blond German lady who had acted and sung on Broadway.
I WORKED!
I also gave some American accent training to young Henrik Holappa for his once fairly heavy Finnish accent, and when you listen here you can see how far his hard work has taken him. I personally think Henrik gave the best speech — AND IT WAS HIS FIRST SPEECH EVER — at Dr. David Duke’s 2008 EURO Conference!
He had WORKED on his SPEECH and he WORKED on his ACCENT!
This “video” contains only one still photo and all but the last one minute of HH’s speech, but the ending was fantastic, and earned HH a standing ovation!!!! Not bad for a 23-year old, giving his first speech, and in a foreign language! I have written the EURO staff to learn when the 2008 Memphis EURO conference video will be available.
Following in my footsteps, Henrik is now taking voice lessons from the brilliant and attractive Elena Haskins, who has a degree in the dramatic arts from the great UC Berkeley.
http://www.elenahaskins.com/html/voicecoaching1.html
How many Americans both in our Cause and others as well frankly HATE their voice? Find it too high-pitched, or too raspy, either unmanly for a man’s voice or unladylike and unlovely in a woman’s? About 85% of us?
Elena will make you PROUD of YOUR voice, of its new nobility, power, fascination and beauty. Call her and hear her own luscious voice. And don’t worry that the voice of the new you will sound phony, put-on or overly glamorous. No one will ever complain if you lose that nerd sound that, frankly, many Americans have and know they have; no one ever complains about a beautiful men’s baritone or a perky, vivacious, melodious feminine voice!!
I had one listener write me: “I could listen to your voice all day.” Well, I took voice lessons!
I have also found that so often I have gotten my way over the phone with clerks and other people I had to deal with when all I had going for me was a nice voice. They couldn’t see me, obviously. But my voice, these “pipes” that I had WORKED on, became a pleasing contrast to the tense, tight, irritating or dismal voices that people usually hear.
I remember once I went on a date just west of Boston with a nice-looking gal in great shape in her late thirties who had just in fact also gotten a huge divorce settlement from her contractor husband. And this gal liked me too, and I liked her. But I just could not get past the horrible, raspy croak of her voice, as well as overly Bawstony accent.
People are sensitive about two things: their nose (most people do not like theirs) and their voice. They think they cannot change either. Absurd. You can get a nose job and you can get a voice job.
We WNs do HAVE the content. Now we need the STYLE. It’s life and death to now create a white mass movement, and that will require MANY new leaders and evangelists for our Cause whose voice and demeanor can help to attract, convince and energize the masses.
The Jews and their stooge understand IMAGE, whence this blasphemous faux-Messiah malarkey form Obongo. Frank Davis , Jr. obviously also works on his baritone voice as well as his content-free speechmaking. But in the short run it obviously works. Joseph Kennedy, Sr. counseled his son John: “Image IS reality.” John was dumbfounded when he once had lunch with actor and Hollywood star Gary Cooper and found that he really was something of a dunce — but the “studio system” had made him into a cult object. We WNs simply MUST learn from our enemies. We will and thus we will defeat them with hard work and new skills. As Dr. William Pierce said: “This Cause is NOT a hobby!”

By the way, KennewickMan, I wish great success to the Honor Day celebrants in Budapest in February. Your whole thread on the heroic battle of Budapest was amazing. Henrik Holappa, your Finno-Ugric cousin, was also very impressed.
Who knows how many millions of lives were SAVED by the Hungarians and the Waffen-SS by their slowing of the Bolshevik army’s advance at the cost of sixty thousand of their lives?
I agree totally with Leon Degrelle that without the fanatic Axis resistance after Stalingrad, Stalin’s nightmarish tank divisions and raping hordes would have rolled all the way to Lisbon, Portugal, enslaving the entire Continent. And can you imagine how POWERFUL the USSR would have been had it incorporated the huge populations of western Europe and all those factories and infrastructure, especially in western Germany, Holland, Belgium and France? How would the United States have prevailed in the Cold War
Hail the fierce and freedom-loving Magyars!
======================
A comrade very interested in meditation and spirituality, like me with French heritage, wrote after reading my post about my childhood ordeal to ask if I were aware of the technique of vipissana in buddhism, which can bring spiritual healing. He referred me to http://www.dhamma.org/en/vipassana.shtml
===================
Cher Robert,
A very helpful email, and I am impressed that this center charges no money whatsoever. If yo get benefit, you voluntarily make a donation! I guess they must be pretty confident that people do get benefits.
Actually, I have been doing the Hindu-Vedanta counterpart of this since 1992. I walk every morning and I meditate with my own mantra. I clear my mind and repeat amour – réaliser (“love” and “realize” as in to ‘realize a project in the real world’) .
It is always fascinating to see what stupid thoughts intrude and try to prevent concentration, that is, how the lower mind tries to not submit to any discipline. You can actually hear your higher and lower minds struggling with each other.
Since I am very physically oriented (I also lift weights, jog and do street-fighting techniques, which kind being “classified”), I do a walking meditation. The dogs run ahead and frolic and I master my mind, which is always full of projects.
I know for myself that my dharma (“path”) is to transform a vision into a nuts-and-bolts organization, a movement and a practical white tribe. So I say “amour” (because I belive in love) and “réaliser” because I must now realize the potential the gods mysteriously gave me.
I can however also say this, that from 1992, when I began serious meditation (at the Himalayan Institute in Pennsylvania, started by the respected brahman Swami Rama) to 2003, when I took action to get therapy, I still had excruciating nightmares, and the worst thing is that they retrauatized me each time. I had in effect PTSD via these nightmares for 33 years AFTER the events ended, becaue I was repressing them, not dealing with them.
I was cramming all those events down into my unconscious and they just had to come out, and be processed, in order to begin to lose their toxicity. Until then they helped destroy two marriages (and to two women I should never have married in the first place) and caused financial devastation. I had every symptom of self-defeating personality disorder, which is a classic by-product of incest.
It was only therapy, horribly painful therapy, that helped me.
My conclusion is that both eastern and western techniques work, and they work best together.
But we must FACE the horror. And if a psychopath harmed us, blame HIM (or her) and consecrate our lives to the fight against psychopaths.
We can never be liberated by trying to forget or to deny what happened, including our own misdeeds, even if self-defeating personality syndrome comes from abuse caused by others.
I’ll make a post of this exchange, minus of course your email address.
Thanks, brother! Healthy individuals, coming together, will make a healthy and strong tribe, and one with teeth too.
John
===============
I thank every comrade who sends me the good information I need for my posts and also the encouragement below I get after comrades read them!
* * *
–Beautiful, inspiring post. I thought white America was finished but with you there is hope.
–Lead on, Commander.
–Just awesome, sir. Not just this post, but all of ‘em.
–Am Ende steht der Sieg! [German: “In the end stands our victory!”]
–Very interesting. Thank you.
–EXCELLENT! I enjoyed reading these posts very much.
–Great post! [on Rahm Emanuel] And it tells you just who’s the real President (hint: not Obongo).
But lately psychopaths have been turning up the steam too, especially on an “intellectual” forum, which just goes to justify Hitler’s contempt for many snobbish, vicious, lazy intellectuals:
–Mongoloids are every bit equipped with normal human emotions, you lying racist sack of s—.
–shut the f– up and get the f– out
On this one intellectual forum I get ten times more abuse than I get in five other forums.
(I will add that the poster about “mongoloids” did later apologize to me. My comments about Mongoloids lacking empathy is based on what East Asiatics themselves have told me, what I have observed, what my father experienced in fighting the Japanese, Chinese and North Koreans, what Vietnam vets have told me, on Ralph Townsend’s first-hand exposé of Chinese culture, Ways That Are Dark, and on a major article by a Jewish scientist married to a Chinese wife who noticed big differences between tiny Caucasian and Chinese babies and their reactions to pain. (See this important post that I published in April 2008, with many photos.) I will also add that my poor father, by nature a very tough and uncomplaining combat Marine NCO and later an officer, had to see a psychiatrist for six months after the Mongoloid atrocities he witnessed in the Korean War. He said to me: “These people do not have the same sense of human life. It is not sacred but meaningless to them.”)

Very, very, very interesting, Viking Celt.
It goes without saying that the Scotch-Irish were the first here in Pittsburgh, too, aside from the French fort called Fort Duquesne.
FIERCE Indian fighters. The story of the woman Massey Harbison is legendary in these parts.
I learned a great deal from this, and it buttressed my conviction that I chose Pittsburgh wisely. And that the first rock-solid white bastion will indeed be PA, WV, KY and OH, where the don’t take-no-s—from nobody Scotch-Irish, sick-of-the-Holocaust Germans and antisemitic Slavs predominate.
====================a serious rumbling from the heartland, and mind you, Stuter does not even go into the likelihood that Obongo is lying about his true biological father, the psychopathic, pedophilic pornographer and bolshevik Frank Davis, who impregnated Obongo’s weird, marxist, slutty, self-hating white mother, STANLEY Ann Dunham…..

The Honorable Chief Justice John G Roberts
Honorable Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr
Honorable Justice Stephen G. Breyer
Honorable Justice Ruth B. Ginsburg
Honorable Justice Anthony M. Kennedy
Honorable Justice Antonin Scalia
Honorable Justice David H. Souter
Honorable Justice John Paul Stevens
Honorable Justice Clarence Thomas
United States Supreme Court
1 First Street N.E.
Washington, DC 20543
On January 20, 2009, Chief Justice John G Roberts administered the presidential oath of office to a man who has failed to provide one iota of evidence that he is, indeed, a natural born citizen of the United States as required by Article II, Section 1, United States Constitution. To the contrary, overwhelming evidence indicates this man to be a citizen, to this day, of Indonesia; that he owes no allegiance and has proven no allegiance to the United State of America, its Constitution and Bill of Rights, or its people.
Application after application, asking for injunctive relief to stop the forward march to what would result in a Constitutional crisis, was requested of the United States Supreme Court, only to be denied to the last one, irrespective of merit, irrespective of the impending Constitutional crisis that would result were this impostor sworn in as president of the United States.
The people ask, “Is the Constitution not important to the United States Supreme Court that it would so easily deny these applications for injunctive relief?”
Leading up to January 20, 2009, people across this nation filed lawsuits in the hopes of preserving the integrity of our United States Constitution, of avoiding the Constitutional crisis resulting from having an ineligible usurper as president and commander-in-chief of the United States.
To date, not one of those lawsuits has been given the benefit of trial on merit. Before the fact, they have been dismissed on the basis of “standing”; after the fact, they have been dismissed as “moot.”
The people are aggrieved at the continued failure of the courts of the United States to uphold the United States Constitution. The aggrieved are being given no justice and no resolution to this abhorrent usurpation of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, United States Constitution.
Writs of certiorari filed at the United States Supreme Court have been denied, time and again, without comment; the merits of those writs totally ignored.
That the United States Supreme Court so cavalierly dismisses this matter of grave importance to the efficacy of the United States Constitution without justification, without cause, and with total disregard of the affront to the United States Constitution, is abhorrent.
The people ask, “Why?”
By all appearance, the United States Constitution is of far greater important to the people of this nation than to the United States Supreme Court whose very existence and authority derives from that document.
On January 14, 2009, the United States Supreme Justices, absent Justice Alito, met in private, in secrecy with Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Hussein Obama at the invitation of Chief Justice John G Roberts. This meeting can only be viewed as an ex parte communication between the Supreme Court Justices and Soetoro. Not only was this a violation of the cannons of judicial conduct but to do this, in the face of the fact that Soetoro a/k/a Obama is a defendant in cases before the Supreme Court, is nothing short of judicial misconduct.
In light of the many cases before the Supreme Court concerning the question of eligibility of Soetoro to the office of president, every Justice of the Supreme Court had an ethical obligation to recuse themselves from any involvement in the inaugural swearing in of Soetoro, to ensure no inappropriate contact with Soetoro that would give any appearance of partisanship or prejudice.
Plaintiff attorney Orly Taitz filed at the Supreme Court a request that all judges honor their obligation of recusal; her request was ignored.
That the United States Supreme Court Justices willfully choose this path is to mock the rule of law, ethical conduct, any appearance of judicial neutrality, and any standard of acceptable decorum.
The people are aggrieved and ask, “For whom does the Supreme Court work, the government or the people?”
By all appearances, and certainly by the charade put on by the Supreme Court with regard to the question of Soetoro’s eligibility to the office of president, it appears the Supreme Court has become nothing more than the legal arm of the federal government, taking its orders and doing the biding of the powerful elite who form the shadow government of this country and that seek to destroy this country in the name of global governance; to the same people to whom Soetoro is nothing more than a puppet.
The people have, for the past six months, requested an answer regarding the lawful right of a man to the presidency whom they believe a usurper by virtue that he is not a natural born citizen. That request has fallen on deaf ears to the detriment of rule of law.
Does the United States Supreme Court believe Soetoro above the law by virtue of who he is? If so, what does that say about rule of law, equal access and equal justice under the law?
Is the United States Supreme Court so comfortable in its position that it believes its existence and authority do not hinge on its strict adherence to the rule of law as set down by the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights?
Does the United States Supreme Court believe its rightful due the respect of the American people when it makes a mockery of the rule of law as established by the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights; when it makes a mockery of the very institution in which it is housed?
The people ask, “If the United States Supreme Court continues to refuse to address this issue in the face of overwhelming evidence of ineligibility, what does that say about the continued existence of the Constitution and Bill of Rights; and what avenue of redress of grievance is left the people of this nation?”
Did our forefathers fight the War of Independence so this country could reach such a point of judicial indifference to rule of law that a usurper could be allowed to sit at the helm of government without challenge?
Was the blood of our forefathers shed for naught?
The Founding Fathers of this nation, in Congress, July 4, 1776, “with firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence,” mutually pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.
Are the American people, bound by the freedom gained at such great price, obliged to do any less?

From an email:
The statistics of the prevalence of psychopathy is 1 out of 25 people. Besides not having a conscience, they want power–over other people. The less intelligent end up behind bars. The smart ones seek out positions of powers, such as supervisors, government, and their most common career is law. The geniuses go even higher than that. This article focuses on corporations, but the same is said for government. And we wonder why the world is such a mess–people with consciences don’t understand what is really going on.
The following article was found through Robert Hare’s website on psychopathy.
http://www.hare.org/references/main.html
Psychopathy and Corporations
Pollution. Worldwide Dioxin Contamination. Acid Rain. Ozone Depletion. Global Warming. These are the headlines of the ‘90s. The scale of the problems seems immense.
A series of questions I often hear as an environmental activist is “how can these companies do these things? Wouldn’t it help to send a letter to their presidents and tell them about the problems? How can we convince them to stop?”
Most people assume that others think and act like they do, including the leaders of multinational corporations. While they know that there is evil in the world, they do not think of corporations – or their CEO’s – as evil. Even when a company is exposed as a major polluter, such as Grace Chemical (one of the offending companies in the upcoming movie “A Civil Action”) they do not ascribe evil intent. They are surprised, even astonished, when they find that the pollution – or, if done by accident, its denial and cover-up – was company policy.
My challenge has been this: how do I convince people that these companies – and often their CEOs – do not think the same way we do. They dispassionately and heartlessly do what they need to do to make money, without feeling any regret or guilt. If that requires that they pollute the environment, or contribute to global warming, then that is just business. They lie about their activities in the media, and when exposed they continue to lie. They hire public relations/investigations firms to improve their image and to find out what activists are saying about them. They hire fancy law firms to protect them from lawsuits, and even when they lose they make sure the settlement never actually specifies the truth of the matter.
In 1993, a world-renowned criminologist, Dr. Robert Hare, stepped out of the “ivory tower” of criminology and advanced psychology, and published a groundbreaking work about psychopathy, a topic usually discussed only by prison therapists and professors of criminology. Based on 25 years of his own research, and fifty years of the research of others, Without Conscience reveals the machinations and results of a devastating mental defect – psychopathy – that leaves a person without the ability to feel remorse or guilt, and without any inhibitions against hurting others and lying about their activities. Only once before in history – when Hervey Cleckley wrote The Mask of Sanity in the 1941 – had there been any attempt to bring this problem into public view.
What Dr. Hare did is to awaken and alert the public and the rest of the psychological profession to the fact that there was a reasonable, rational explanation for what appeared to be irrational, cruel, heartless acts by people that seemed otherwise “normal.” Not only does it provide an answer to the dispassionate acts of carnage of serial murderers such as Ted Bundy and John Gacy (who were personally very charming people) and many spouse abusers and child molesters, but also an insight into the dispassionate behavior of many other predatory people – such as stock swindlers and unethical lawyers – that we occasionally come across in our daily lives, who smile at us while they steal our collective wallets.
It even provides some insight into how such people make it to “the top” – becoming the leaders of governments or corporations. The following is an excerpt from an article by Dr. Hare on psychopathy published in the Harvard Mental Health Letter in 1995. The complete text is available at http://www.mentalhealth.com/mag1/p5h-pe01.html.
Psychopaths: New Trends in Research
Public concern about crime has never been greater. Perhaps most troubling are seemingly senseless and dispassionate acts of violence, particularly those committed by young people. In a frantic search for understanding, we readily blame upbringing, poverty, flawed environment, or an ineffective criminal justice system. All these may be important, but we tend to ignore another part of the picture: the enormous social, economic, and personal suffering inflicted by a few people whose antisocial attitudes and behavior result less from social forces than from an inherent sense of entitlement and an incapacity for emotional connection to the rest of humanity. For these individuals – psychopaths – social rules have no constraining force, and the idea of a common good is merely a puzzling and inconvenient abstraction.
Psychopaths use charm, manipulation, intimidation, and violence to control others and satisfy their own selfish needs. Lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, they cold-bloodedly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest guilt or regret. Although their numbers are small – perhaps 1% of the population – psychopaths account for a large proportion of the serious crime, violence, and social distress in every society. Psychopathic depredations affect people in all races, cultures, and ethnic groups, and at all levels of income and social status. As many as 15% or 20% of prisoners are psychopaths; the disorder is common among drug dealers, spouse and child abusers, swindlers and con men, high-pressure salesmen and stock promoters, gang members, mercenaries, corrupt politicians, unethical lawyers and doctors, terrorists, cult leaders, and black marketeers. In societies undergoing a chaotic breakdown (today, for example, in Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, and the Soviet Union), psychopaths often emerge as “patriots” and “saviors.” Wrapped in the flag, they enrich themselves by callously exploiting cultural or racial tensions and grievances.
Despite many years of debate, our understanding of the disorder is still surprisingly limited, but there are signs that the situation is beginning to change. Researchers are paying increased attention to the diagnosis and measurement of psychopathic traits. The mental health and criminal justice systems are considering new options for evaluating the risk of recidivism and violence, and new approaches to treatment and prevention. Theories and procedures derived from cognitive neuroscience are being adapted to study the causes of psychopathy.
Dr. Hare’s book provided an incredible revelation: the nasty activities of the polluting corporations have a “rational” basis. I had been right. There was a logical explanation for the behavior of these companies. The leaders of these companies might be psychopaths themselves, or, at the very least, the internal culture of the company fosters a psychopathic attitude of deceit toward the general public while knowing that they pollute the earth and harm people.
Note how the description of the psychopath so aptly describes the attitude and actions of the polluting corporation: “anti-social attitudes and behavior” that result from a “sense of entitlement” and “an incapacity for emotional connection to the rest of humanity,” and for whom “social rules have no constraining force, and the idea of a common good is merely a puzzling and inconvenient abstraction.”
For instance, the Annual Report of WMX and its subsidiaries, such as Wheelabrator Technologies, states that they promote recycling and environmental protection:
“The Company is committed to improving the environment through the services that we offer and to providing our services in a manner demonstrably protective of human health and the environment, even if not required by law. We will minimize and strive not to allow any releases to the atmosphere, land, or water in amounts that may harm human health and the environment.”
In real life, Wheelabrator sells and operates super-polluting incinerators, including one in North Andover, Massachusetts, which has typically emitted 2000 pounds of mercury and many hundreds of grams of super-toxic dioxins.
Monsanto, a multinational agricultural corporation based in St. Louis, Missouri, claims to be “improving agriculture.” Yet its scientists have admitted that the corn and cotton crops from Monsanto seeds that have been genetically altered to produce BT toxin – the “last-resort” natural pesticide used by organic farmers – will lead to insect resistance. This will rob farmers of this non-chemical weapon forever and make them more reliant on chemical pesticides.
A Monsanto subsidiary has created new plant varieties that will produce sterile seeds, eliminating the ability of farmers to save seeds for the next year, a natural practice dating from the dawn of agriculture. The stated purpose is improve agriculture by providing “better seeds” and uphold Monsanto’s “rights” as a seed patent holder. In reality, it will force farmers all over the world to buy their seeds from Monsanto, now the 2nd largest seed company in the world. This multinational corporation’s activities are brilliant, insidious, and ruthless. In the name of “improving agriculture” this company may gain control of the entire world’s agricultural system.
Psychopathic attitudes and behaviors on the part of companies and corporations are not new. They have been with us since the beginning of the industrial age. But now, with the information that Dr. Hare has provided us about psychopathy, we can identify and understand the behavior and not be bewildered by it. Most importantly, we can figure out how to stop it.
