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.
That's a strange thing to think because it is a completely different disorder and has nothing to do with lacking empathy or compassion for other people or any of the other traits of psychopathy.
Elizabeth- I think many women go into certain careers these days for totally different reasons than they used to- I think in the past most teachers actually cared about the welfare of children- nowadays it seems they just want to indoctrinate kids into communists or psychopaths like themselves. I feel the same about nursing these days- years ago I think most cared about patients and wanted to help people. I think these days most of motivated by the money and don't care about the patients at all. Dr. Vernon Coleman has said the same- he is a retired physician and he has said "most nurses these days are despicable".
When my kid was in grade school they would do this weird ritual of passing around a stick and talk about when they had been bullied. I remember thinking it was very odd. I would have had the kids pass around the stick and share when they had been unkind. This would have created empathy for their victim. Fast forward a few years and I wonder if it was just a tool to slide in CRT into the curriculum. Because of COVID lockdowns, I heard the Marxist rhetoric for literature in the HS classes. But this is by design from the Frankfurt School. As head proponent Marcuse explained in an interview, they needed to train (the elites) to awaken the (dirty) masses. Women, based on their social conditioning, would be useful in this role. But I am not dismayed. Bad asses such as Naomi Wolf are the current Joan of Arcs. We just have to make sure their ending isn't on a stake.
Changes in our society have caused people to become more money motivated. Many people are struggling to make ends meet. Those who go to college graduate with enormous debt and can't declare bankrupcy. I've met a lot of kind, caring nurses but I know some people go into that field just to make money. I heard a podcast recently in which a psychologist found that many young people lacked empathy. The reason? They had to work extremely hard just to make ends meet. That made them very self-centered. They didn't have time to think about anyone or anything else.
The child's original imprinted experience of lack of empathy is the determined departure of his mother to earn money , no matter how he cries and begs, leaving him to the often unloving, unresponsive and unsafe care of others. A devoted, loving present mother is the human mammal's first defense against affectlessness and psychopathy. So many mother-deprived adults now in view.
I think that is part of it. I also think that computers, social media and video games have had a negative effect on our young people. I am old enough to have grown up without any of those things, and in my opinion people were different back then.
Most of the people behind the lockdowns and jab mandates are men--Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Big Pharma, Big Tech CEO's, etc.--mostly men striving for power and control.
Perhaps if we stopped teaching men to believe they're entitled to getting everything they want and that they should always be on top, in control, not expressing emotions, and that making a lot of money is tied in with their masculinity, we could reduce the power of psychopaths.
There are very few women psychopaths. Redefining the term "psychpath" so that it can include women is misogynistic, and it won't solve the problem. That's actually a distraction and a direct attack on women. We need to look at why men are less empathic than women. Is it inborn? Or have men been socialized to be that way, so that they can be good soldiers, good fighters. Fighting wars has been a male-dominated activity throughout history.
I live in LA. We have decidedly been under narcissistic female leaders leading the way to lockdowns and forced vaxxes. Schools were in lockdowns because of a female leader. But this doesn't upset me in the least. I graduated law school in the 90s. To think that women weren't capable of heading a law firm or doing evil would have been laughable.
Yes Political Ponerology insists that men are most of the psychopath problem. But seems to me more genetic than these environmental theories. Better to think of how we can identify and put these people into an insect killing jar than throwing stones between the sexes to decide who's to blame. I know women who are pretty brutal but none seem to be convinced that killing 80 percent of us is a good idea.
Radical feminists and other Marxists have been teaching men for decades that they should be toppled from the pecking order. Innately good men listened. Only the psychopaths are left...How about a new book: "Psychopathic Men and the Women Who Serve as their Greek Chorus?"
We do have a number of psychopathic female politicians on the scene today...Pelosi, Clinton, the EU's Ursula Von der Leyen, MI Governor Whitmer...all the vaxx pushers and enablers, the news and opinion presenters in the media and journalism..more females than ever. I think they have always been there but instead of being visible professionals have been Bad Mothers and domestic tyrants, raising personality-disordered children. Barbara Bush for instance who used to lecture local women's organisations about the benefits of "spanking".
One factor to consider: the relationship between mother and son or carer and son is too often less acknowledging and caring for emotions and state of mind than is the behavioural response-style of mother or carer to daughter. An attentive parent who watches over and responds to his child's state of mind from earliest infancy, motivated by LOVE and wisdom, will raise a whole-souled adult.
You are spot on. I am very cognizant of this with my son. Unfortunately we get put into a bird cage because of this as if the skills used to raise a decent human isn't worthy of consideration when applying for a job. It is a weird paradox. I just finished watching a Long Day's Journey into Night based on Eugene O'Neill's autobiographical play. The mother is a morphine addict. She lashes out at her husband and sons knowing they are spying on her - trying to stop her. My mother was a terrible alcoholic and died from it. I told a friend watching the characters in the play made me think of how we treated my mother. We spied on her in the hopes of limiting the addiction. I then realized that I doubt families respond to men in the same way. The father drinks, it is reluctantly accepted and you get out of the way. However, if the mother drinks, the family is heartbroken knowing that the foundation of the family is unstable.
So glad to talk about this with someone who has been through it. And very sorry about your mother. Mine drank excessively for years too...on a binge rhythm which I think is different from regular every day drunkenness. There were some terrible moments for all of us but finally, when I was in my 20s, my father and brother staged an intervention. They asked her to meet with them in the dining room, which wasn't often used and was very formal. They had rehearsed their statement and request with an intervention expert. First they listed many of the difficult and dangerous incidents that had occurred over the years and then they formally requested that she stop drinking permanently. She immediately complied! And never drank again that I know of. Certainly I never saw her drunk again or locked into her room recovering for 3 days which was normal in our childhood. But I wonder, after what you've written, if she would have stopped if my sister and I had asked her. The fact that it was the men in the family was probably a powerful factor.
I wish that every researcher into psychopathy would look at the addiction element. I believe that the children of addicts, especially secret or unacknowledged ones, are more likely to become mentally ill. I've seen this almost occult phenomenon that feels like the aspects of consciousness that the user refuses to or can't process, that he anaesthetises with drugs and alcohol, are projected into family life, onto the children. The most seriously psychopathic adult that I know (too) well grew up in a controlled, privileged, alcoholic household with an unpredictable and occasionally violent father whose authority over everyone was based on "because I say so" not on reason or wisdom. The adults in this very social family were high on gin, wine and whiskey from 5:30 until midnight or bedtime almost every night, year after year. Their older son is a psychopathic perpetrator who has caused serious havoc in the lives of his family, lovers and friends and the younger son has a diagnosis of bi-polar disorder and is on lithium for life. All of which, I believe would never have happened if the parents had been sober, loving, attentive and rational. There should be a Hippocratic Oath for parents: "First - do no harm."
That is interesting point about whether it would have worked with your sisters. In the movie they show the flinching of the men when the mother is high and vicious in her words. Do women respond at the same depth? Or do we know to ignore much of it? I think the question you are also asking is whether addiction stems from mental illness or is it vice versa? I have read the mental illness proceeds the addiction but with the advent of street drugs with their highly addictive components, I don't know if that is true anymore. As a feminist, I flinch when women are relegated to 'little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice." I have long said if you deny my ability to do evil, you deny my humanity. My father has opened up more how vicious my mom was with her words. This included repeated calls to his work and showing up drunk when giving speeches. This is all to say that to only look at violence through the spectrum of physical blows misses out on the larger context of language. Words may not be visible to the naked eye but their consequences, like gravity, surely are.
Oh definitely. I think that is so right. The worst family abuse I have witnessed was much more vicious words and vile name- calling than physical blows. I do think the worst scenarios are when there is both, when there is slapping and spanking of little children as well as cruel words and neglect. I have a theory that the deeper and more evil cases of mental illness/criminality start with abused infants..little babies who are handled and spoken to with harshness and cruelty. They experience the pain and fear and rejection almost without consciousness or memory. I wish there was a therapeutic school of thought out there that addressed these issues. Maybe Primal Scream therapy... but that is always subject to doubt about false memory. And it is painful and sometimes humiliating in a way that I think is counter-productive. Your poor father. Mine too. We all had to bear my mother's cruel judgements and rage. One of the hardest things to process: she was often the opposite - loving, fun, generous.
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.
I echo the above commentator. I shared your video with three friends because I thought it was so important. Growing up n the US, Poland was always part of the Eastern block and therein lies the problem. They were 'always part of.' While I am history buff and knew of European history pre-WWII, I somehow never thought of Poland as anything but under communism and then the fall of the Eastern block. But hearing someone write about his experience of having a lecturer come into his college class and flip on the switch to Marxism made it come to life. It sunk in how fast things can change.

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.
Then I'd add Recidivists Illegal drug mules, and sellers. The worst are the rapist/killers who keep doing so no matter how long their sentences are. Eliza Flecher's kidnapper, rapist, and killer had a rap sheet since age 11. Most of it is violent. 3 Men kidnapped a woman, gang raped her for 9 hours before killing her, they too had long rap sheets. You can't change or repair these Psychopaths, Why keep letting them back out into society, they deserve to be executed. Not kept in a cushy prison cell.
What do you do with people of Authority who commit crimes? Hundreds of high-level FBI officials retired or resigned over sexual misconduct allegations
It stated that “665 FBI employees, including 45 [Senior Executive Service (SES)]-level employees have retired or resigned following an FBI or [Justice Department Office of Inspector General (OIG)] investigation into alleged misconduct, but prior to [the Office of Professional Responsibility’s (OPR)] issuance of a final disciplinary letter.”
However, Grassley fears the true number isn’t reflected due to employees who leave before investigations are complete.
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!
I just got done with a new book, Cassandra's memo: covid and the global psychopaths, I'll get you a way to download within a few days and get it up on amazon so people can get the hard covers. typeset the whole darn thing in 2 twelve hour days.
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.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I think that's more of a narcissistic trait. And since psychopaths are all narcissistic, they also convince themselves that the world is out to get them. But when I was talking about psychopaths faking political beliefs, I was referring more to the "conning" aspect of psychopathy. They'll pretend to hold any beliefs they find to be convenient, even if they're totally insincere. More like a guy who pretends to be injured on the job and then becomes a labor activist, screwing over everyone in the process - and laughing about it behind their backs.
"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.
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?
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!
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.
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 .

I used to think of it as the low grade sociopathy of women.
That's a strange thing to think because it is a completely different disorder and has nothing to do with lacking empathy or compassion for other people or any of the other traits of psychopathy.
Elizabeth- I think many women go into certain careers these days for totally different reasons than they used to- I think in the past most teachers actually cared about the welfare of children- nowadays it seems they just want to indoctrinate kids into communists or psychopaths like themselves.

People I meet seem normals but the crap going on in healthcare is unbelievable.
They treat us well, maybe because they know we understand what's happening.

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.
TV Evangelist equates to your timeshare salesman.
Then I'd add Recidivists Illegal drug mules, and sellers. The worst are the rapist/killers who keep doing so no matter how long their sentences are. Eliza Flecher's kidnapper, rapist, and killer had a rap sheet since age 11. Most of it is violent. 3 Men kidnapped a woman, gang raped her for 9 hours before killing her, they too had long rap sheets. You can't change or repair these Psychopaths, Why keep letting them back out into society, they deserve to be executed. Not kept in a cushy prison cell.
What do you do with people of Authority who commit crimes? Hundreds of high-level FBI officials retired or resigned over sexual misconduct allegations
It stated that “665 FBI employees, including 45 [Senior Executive Service (SES)]-level employees have retired or resigned following an FBI or [Justice Department Office of Inspector General (OIG)] investigation into alleged misconduct, but prior to [the Office of Professional Responsibility’s (OPR)] issuance of a final disciplinary letter.”
However, Grassley fears the true number isn’t reflected due to employees who leave before investigations are complete.

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!
See Whitney Webb's book, A Nation Under Blackmail.
Her assertion is that the dems were mob based since 1900.
Wow - that's pretty strong!! I couldn't see it, but then maybe I wasn't as 'tuned in' then as now!
Quoting her
I will! Thanks! America and the world today is so dark!
stay frosty

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.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I think that's more of a narcissistic trait. And since psychopaths are all narcissistic, they also convince themselves that the world is out to get them. But when I was talking about psychopaths faking political beliefs, I was referring more to the "conning" aspect of psychopathy. They'll pretend to hold any beliefs they find to be convenient, even if they're totally insincere. More like a guy who pretends to be injured on the job and then becomes a labor activist, screwing over everyone in the process - and laughing about it behind their backs.

"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.
Excellent! TY!
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!
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.
