Yes, it is true. For many reasons, the person who occupies
the White House matters because beyond politics, this fact should give you chills, “One
in 25 people can inflict incredible pain on others without feeling a pang of
remorse.”
If the person in the White House has no inkling that the
American people are hurting and cares nothing of their pain, well then, we are
in serious trouble.
How long will you allow 800,000 federal workers to suffer
without their pay, Mr. Trump?
Trump says, for a long time… until the Democrats give me $5 billion for my wall.
I submit, Mr. Trump of is one in 25 who can inflict
incredible pain on others without feeling a pang of remorse.
Indeed, we are in serious trouble.
Consider these excerpts from, The Sociopath Next Door, by Martha
Stout, Ph.D.
“Imagine – if you can – not having a conscience, none at
all, no feelings of guilt or remorse no matter what you do, no limiting sense
of concern for the well-being of strangers, friends, or even family members.
Image no struggles with shame, not a single one in your whole life, no matter
what kind of selfish, lazy, harmful, or immoral action you had taken.”
“You are not held back from any of your desires by guilt or
shame, and you are never confronted by others for our cold-bloodedness. The ice
water in your veins is so bizarre, so completely outside of their personal experience,
that they seldom even guess at your condition.”
“In other words, you are completely free of internal
restraints, and your unhampered liberty to do just as you please, with no pangs
of conscience, is conveniently invisible to the world.”
“You can do anything at all, and still your strange
advantage over the majority of people, who are kept in line by their
consciences will most likely remain undiscovered.”
“How will you live your life?”
“What will you do with your huge and secret advantage, and
with the corresponding handicap of other people (conscience)?”
…
“Provided you are not forcibly stopped, you can do anything
at all.”
“And pretend that the concept of responsibility unknown to
you, except as a burden other seem to accept without question, like gullible
fools.”
“If you are born at the right time, with some access to family
fortune, and you have a special talent of whipping up other people’s hatred and
sense of deprivation, you can arrange to kill large numbers of unsuspecting people.
With enough money, you can accomplish this from far away, and you can sit back
safely and watch in satisfaction.”
“Now add to this strange fantasy the ability to conceal from
other people that your psychological makeup is radically different from theirs.
Since everyone simply assumes that conscience is universal among human beings,
hiding the fact that you are conscience-free is nearly effortless.”
…
“Crazy and frightening – and real, in about 4 percent of the
population…”
“The prevalence rate for anorexic eating disorders is estimated
at 3.43 percent, deemed to be nearly epidemic, and yet this figure is a faction
lower than the rate for antisocial personality.”
…
“The high incidence of sociopathy in human society has a
profound effect on the rest of us who must live on this planet, too, even those
of us who have not been clinically traumatized. The individuals who constitute
this 4 percent drain our relationships, our bank accounts, our accomplishments,
our self-esteem, our very peace on earth.”
“Yet surprisingly, many
people know nothing about this disorder, or if they do, they think in terms of
violent psychopathy – murderers, serial killers mass murderers – people who
have conspicuously broken the law many times over, and who, if caught, will be
imprisoned, maybe even put to death by our legal system.”
“Most of us would not imagine any correspondence between conceiving
n ethnic genocide and, say, guiltlessly lying to one’s boss about a coworker.
But the psychological correspondence is not only there, it is chilling. Simple
and profound, the link is the absence of the inner mechanism that beats up on
us, emotionally speaking, when we make a choice we view as immoral, unethical, neglectful,
or selfish.”
…
“The presence of absence of conscience is a deep human
division, arguably more significant than intelligence, race, or even gender.”
“What differentiates a sociopath who lives off the labors of
others from one who occasionally robs convenience stores, or from one who is a
contemporary robber baron – or what makes the difference between an ordinary
bully and a sociopathic murderer – is nothing more than social status, drive,
intellect, blood lust, or simple opportunity.”
“What distinguishes all of these people from the rest of us
is an utterly empty hole in the psyche, where there should be the most evolved
of all humanizing functions.”

They walk among
us. On the outside. they’re just like you and me, but on the inside they are
unfeeling automatons who care only for themselves. They are the psychopaths,
and they are in control of our governments, our corporations, our military and
all of the positions of power. Join us this week on The Corbett Report as we
delve into Political Ponerology, a diagnosis of our politicians and a brief
look at the bigger picture.
