We are all judged by our actions AND by our associations. As somebody who does not know the person, I'd like to contribute some associations which I see.

The problem as I see it lay not in starting the project again, but rather not including the very group that not only helped fund and support the research and shooting of the initial footage but also were directly responsible for any understanding he had of psychopathy at all.
That's what I told myself after I reading through this thread. why didn't he make the project with the SOTT people, at least in a consulting position?
The other videos I've seen coming from here are of perfectly good quality both in make and in information content, so why not go at it with a provenly successful team?
I would like to comment on the preview video about psychos linked from here and made by "John Galt Films" and a few other things which I miss in the discussion.
I followed the link to YouTube posted in this thread and looked at the video. What immediately put me off is that pattern of people popping up from right and left telling the viewer witty phrases about psychos. The icon of somebody presented as an "authority" in the matter, turned 45°, pops in from the right, tells the viewer some witty phrase about psychos, is followed by some other figure popping in from the left ... this goes on for the whole trailer. My impression is that this is manipulation, attempting to endear the viewer to these people presented as authorities. I wouldn't know why anybody would want to manipulate viewers in what is (supposed to be) a documentary about facts.
In the trailer there is a lady, one of the "experts", who works at the
Penetanguishene psychiatric ward (link to Google Maps) north of Toronto on Lake Huron. Notice the jail conveniently located nearby in the map. Penetanguishene or "Penetang" was/is an institution for the criminally insane and appears to have been one of the "foreign locations"in which the CIA MK-series projects took place. I know of Penetang because of the story of a Canadian called Steve Smith aka "plasticsmith" - in short, as a teenager he was picked up by police in 1968 for some minor offenses and sent to Penetang because he swallowed some LSD he was carrying. See his full story
here.
What they did to Smith and the drugs they gave him reads like they were trying to make psychos out of perfectly normal people with the help of drugs. A big red flag, and why I connect Penetang with the MK-series, is that other people who went through "treatment" there wound up dead in Angola and in israels wars - it would appear that they had some measure of success and loaned out their "products" - at least that is how I interpret some of the documents put out by Smith. There is (or was), BTW, a class action suite against Penetanguishene and the good doctor who treated Smith.
See here.
My wonder is, even if the lady mentioned in the trailer is clean herself, why would anybody who knows what has been uncovered here at SOTT want to quote somebody
with such professional references?
Alex Davidis calls his film company "John Galt Films", what I took from the YouTube video entry. John Galt was/is the protagonist of writings of Ayn Rand. I have not read Ayn Rand, but by all what I have read about her and her writings, Lobaczewski would probably have mentioned her together with Marx and the other bearded crazies he alludes to, if he had known about her. Here is a choice quote about Ayn Rand and John Galt from Alternet,

Alternet said:
The best way to get to the bottom of Ayn Rand's beliefs is to take a look at how she developed the superhero of her novel, Atlas Shrugged, John Galt. Back in the late 1920s, as Ayn Rand was working out her philosophy, she became enthralled by a real-life American serial killer, William Edward Hickman, whose gruesome, sadistic dismemberment of 12-year-old girl named Marion Parker in 1927 shocked the nation. Rand filled her early notebooks with worshipful praise of Hickman. According to biographer Jennifer Burns, author of Goddess of the Market, Rand was so smitten with Hickman that she modeled her first literary creation -- Danny Renahan, the protagonist of her unfinished first novel, The Little Street -- on him.
Why would anybody call his company after a literary figure which was inspired by a serial murderer? Not me at least, and nobody whom I know.
Somebody mentioned the neighborhood of AD.
10021 is a smallish part of NY, sized about 7x8 blocks or 1x1,5 Km. It is upper-middle class (overrated IMO), and it is home to 24 501(c)(3) "charities" which are involved in financing the israeli occupation and theft of Palestinian lands or generally funneling money to israel on the back of US taxpayers, count is per middle of 2011. Such zionist institutions sprout in zionist neighborhoods and nowhere else.
