I think women express psychopathy differently as suggested. I assume Munchausen by proxy is mostly women. Consider that most of the women screaming for lockdowns were women . Consider that most of the women screaming for lockdowns were women - in particular those in education. Today’s teachers are not the same as years past when women were tough as nails. To call for sacrificing the kids so they could feel safe has to be the purest form of psychopathy.

Thanks for this interview Robert. Really appreciate the advice, that the book discussed despite great content, could be a difficult read. Alternatively, I have ordered Without Conscience as recommended. I am / was a mental health professional, now retired, and over the course of a career, often consulted with other mental health professionals, who I thought were the best of the bunch, in my extended PNW community. Highlights of a lifetime, people, conversations, and experiences (however painful), I would not have wanted to miss. Unforgettable memories permanently etched on my psyche. I can tell you that looking back, as dedicated helping professionals, we were all (admittedly) constantly questioning and learning, which was likely the greatest saving grace for our own growth and mental health, as well as that of our clients and patients. I wholeheartedly agree that EDUCATION, is absolutely critical for more people to begin to have an understanding of what we are facing as a society. (AND time is not on our side). Along those lines, I know you deeply respect Dr. Mercola, a great warrior in this battle. (Me too!) Also, my top recommends are Catherine Austin Fitts at Solari.com, a simply fabulous website ( lots and lots of very valuable history and conversations in her database, for deep inquiry.) Also a lot of great free info., for non-subscribers as well. And of course Robert F. Kennedy's work and the very dynamic educational ourtreach website at Children's Health Defense.

Most interesting gentlemen, thank you. A bit extra for me since I grew up

in Poland. Thank you Dr. Yoyo.

Ooh, terrific combination! Will listen with interest - big fan of both your and Harrison's work! ... Listened... fascinating and frightening. I agree, education is key, so people stop voting those will tell-tale signs of psychopathy into positions of power, while we still have some semblance of democracy left... so keep up the good work of the educational front. Thanks for keeping it jargon free... I had to chuckle at Robert's bluntness on that score.

72 minutes of uncommon ideas, anecdotes, summary, and analysis. I loved every minute, except when Dr. Yoho (rightly) felt the discussion had continued long enough. I wasn't ready to stop listening, but, paradoxically, I have also not even started listening to conversations much longer than one hour because my starting bias is the conversation will be riddled with filler or repetition.

Listening to this walking my dog is akin to therapy. While studying geopolitics for decades the root of what causes our corruption (lack of better word) remains an elusive quest. This podcast is akin to a light bulb going on. Bravo!

Excellent discussion, the world needs more of this. I can offer a practical example of the top few percent of this type, not killers but nice family men when they're not working as time share salesmen. Everyone interested in this subject should attend a time share presentation. You'll see it all. Empathy (fake), charm, good conversation...Then when they realize you're not going to buy anything, they escort you out like a criminal, not saying a word.

Thank You! I now know what happened to the Democratic party . I used to support their goals and voted pretty much for all of them. I am now a total independent , as I cannot find even one I trust. Likewise, the pharma companies - never again!

At around 36m, there's the assertion that psychopaths "fake" their beliefs. That's not quite it--political psycopaths are capable of actually having strong beliefs that appear to motivate them. However, they are not able to reflect on these beliefs and their own actions as being counter to them. It's possible I'm conflating somewhat with narcisssists. An example would be somebody who got injured on a job and feels like they were screwed over by the company. Then they become a labor activist, which is basically a criminal organization. But all the while thinks he's doing things for the little guy.

My mother too. I credit her with so much. An aunt I adored was also an alcoholic who could be so vicious as well. She would rough up my grandmother and then sleep it off. My grandmother died of a heart attack. I know she suffered nightmares from this. All my long winded comments are just my thought that direct hits and putting into action that creates hits are not that much different. It is for this reason I hate that white collar criminals receive light sentences or less violent prisons. If your criminal activity wipes out the savings of a large swatch of individuals leaving them penniless is that less violent than a home invasion that steals property?

Political Ponerology, edited by Harrison Koehli, is an excellent, eye-opening book - a must read!

Excellent podcast!

Outstanding, I've recently been on the receiving end of one of these people, and it cost me almost everything I owned. He manipulated the courts and sheriff's department in believing that it was I who was the bad person. If the authorities would've questioned neighbors and other people before passing judgement, they would've realized that the problem was him, not me. That him was my nephew, recently promoted to a high position in MNDOT. The advancement only took a bad person and made him worse, which they will soon find out through court hearings and testimony from multiple sources. The shame is that at my age, it'll be very difficult for me to rebound from it. When in the first place , I was trying to help and inform him of the possible consequences of his behaviour, of which he had no feeling for what he's done. Cold as ice about it. So very sad, but he's got to pay for his actions. The part about the mother was spot on, my sister. Great timing in your delivering this talk, right before I speak with my attorney's. Thanx!

"Psychopathy is more prevalent in men than in women"...except when you consider the psychopathic mothering that many infants experience and that remains almost completely invisible to the outsider. Not answering a baby's cry, handling her needs roughly or uncaringly with indifference or anger or disgust...every time a baby is touched, handled, ignored or abandoned he is learning who he is and how to respond to others. It has to be tender care day and night over the entire childhood. It will never be perfect but it has to be mostly good.

I'm not formally educated but I see and feel things. It became heightened when I had a daughter in 1996. Still, I am surprised to see this level of organized evil in my lifetime. I agree that the large scale suffering inflicted is carried out by an organized GLOBAL group of psychopaths. They are really so proud of themselves. Why so many highly educated people fell for it, I do not understand.

Note that the term "ponerology" has been in use since the 1800s.

I must say I wasn't aware of the word either until I ran across it in articles on SOTT.net (probably mostly from Harrison). I had been previously trained in a system of technologies that also takes the psychopathic personality type into account and recognizes its importance in human affairs over a very long period of time.

The "new" human skills we need to gain control over this problem involve: 1) positive recognition, 2) immediate containment (or exclusion) measures, 3) long-term resolution for this personality type AND for those affected negatively by such people.

Understanding psychopathy and other personality disorders: We should not rely on our current level of understanding of human psychology to interpret why some people are psychopathic. Genetics is obviously not the answer.

Hubbard found the answer in past lives and proposed a therapy that could solve the disorder IF you could get such a person to actually engage in therapy. As far as I know, this therapy has not been tested by secular academics.

If reincarnation is real (and I assume that it is) then isolating psychopaths as long as possible would be the best method for reducing their influence in society. Killing them just hastens their return.

The educational answer proposed by Łobaczewski is VERY important. Beyond that, we have structural (legal) remedies that can be implemented to keep such people out of powerful or influential positions. Of course, if a psychopath were able to take over that system things could go very bad very fast.
