I think EsoQuest is mentionned a bit too much these days to be merely coincidential. Maybe he's just there lurking in the background, trying to influence the course of the forum thanks to his "magickal skills". We've gotta be careful and watch out.
But according to Mr. Leif Erlingsson, this is "paranoia."
One of the most important things to learn about psychopathy and the psychopathic system that runs our world is how it has turned everything that is normal and natural to normal human beings, upside down and has made it pathological.
As Lobaczewski points out, it is important to a pathocracy to establish control over the science of psychology very early on in the game; to be the one that defines what is or is not pathological, and to have the "final say," so to speak. Robert Hare has hinted very strongly at his struggles against this very problem in several articles that expose the "politicking" that goes on behind the scenes in the publishing of the DSM.
As Lobaczewski says, proper knowledge of what is and what is not pathological according to a baseline of NORMAL humanity (i.e., the majority) would very quickly reveal the true nature of psychopathy and psychopathic systems.
In the meantime, of course, psychopaths at the top are constantly alert to any ideational variance that might threaten their control. Anything that emerges as a threat is "dealt with." As Lobaczewski points out, "a purposeful and conscious system of control, terror, and diversion is thus set to work." This system operates not only in academia - as several psychologists of my acquaintance inform me - but also in the public sphere. We might even suspect that it operates very much like COINTEL with people like Vincent Bridges and gang being actually sent out to go after any group that is seeking to navigate its way through the shoals of a pathological reality.
The fact that psychopaths and their congeners are generally in charge of psychology means that it is a tool in the hands of the pathocracy and psychology and psychiatry are often abused in order to control people. An example is exactly what this guy Leif is doing: labeling the people who are seeking to learn about this pathology, understand it, and share that understanding with others.
As Lobaczewski points out, it is useful to see what areas are "discouraged" or "forbidden" in order to know where the crux of the matter actually lies.
From our experience - and the experience of others working in the field directly - what is most suppressed is the genetic nature of the psychopath as well as accurate descriptions of psychopathies as being something that is similar to a completely different species of human being; what Robert Hare calls "an intraspecies predator".

The essence of psychopathy may not, of course, be researched or elucidated. Darkness is cast upon this matter by means of an intentionally devised definition of psychopathy which includes various kinds of character disorders, together with those caused by completely different and known causes. ...
It is also worth pointing out here that the chief doctrine of said system reads “Existence defines consciousness� . As such, it belongs to psychology rather than to any political doctrine. This doctrine actually contradicts a good deal of empirical data indicating the role of hereditary factors in the development of man’s personality and fate.
This is one of the hackneyed ideas that Vincent Bridges and his gang wave around like it's some kind of banner: that our focus on psychopathy is "divisive" that it promotes an "us against them" or "paranoid" way of thinking.
Well, duuuuuh! Look around, turkey! Do you think what you see in the world around you is normal and good? Do you think humanity is on a good way? If not, what do you think is the cause??? You think that maybe doing some more spells, or talking to the Ophanim is gonna fix it? How about just loving all the psychopaths???
I mean, get REAL!
We are all taught in our religious instruction that everyone has a soul and even if we grow out of the religion, the early conditioning to believe that everyone has a soul, that everyone can be "saved," even if only by a last-ditch holy miracle or whatever, stays with us in a powerful way. I know this all too well. I lived that kind of belief most of my life. It is one of the first cunning lies that is used to entrap and render humanity helpless against the intraspecies predator.
When the overwhelming evidence - based on years of study and a mass of evidence that was incontrovertible - brought me face to face with that question: does everyone have a soul? Is everyone really "created" equal? it was devastating. That issue brought into question everything I had ever believed about human beings' essential
natures. When I was presented with the mass of information about psychopathy, I was, in fact, presented with a creature that looked and acted in so many ways like everyone else except that he/she lacks a certain something that is so essential to being human that you can literally call him/her pseudo-human or non-human or anthropoid or whatever, and the description will fit.
What is so unsettling is to observe them mimic the qualities that we consider to be the essence of conscience and to see how easily they take in people who are totally unaware of the fact that we do, as Hare said, have an
intraspecies predator.
Getting back to the abuse of psychiatry and its use by COINTEL: Lobaczewski points out that we must understand the nature of the controversy between a pathological system and those areas of science which describe psychological and psychopathological phenomena in order to understand how they twist and use stuff to drive people nuts.

A normal person’s actions and reactions, his ideas and moral criteria, all too often strike abnormal individuals as abnormal. For if a person with some psychological deviations considers himself normal, which is of course significantly easier if he possesses authority, then he would consider a normal person different and therefore abnormal, whether in reality or as a result of conversive thinking. That explains why [a pathocracy] shall always have the tendency to treat any dissidents as “mentally abnormal� .
Operations such as driving a normal person into psychological illness and the use of psychiatric institutions for this purpose take place in many countries in which such institutions exist....
Such defamatory suggestions are used particularly often by individuals who are themselves not entirely normal, whose behavior has driven someone to a nervous breakdown or to violent protest. Among hysterics, such behavior tends to be a projection onto other people of one’s own self-critical associations. A normal person strikes a psychopath as a naive, smart-alecky believer in barely comprehensible theories; calling him “crazy� is not all that far away. ...
What happens as a rule is that the idea of driving someone into mental illness issues from minds with various aberrations and psychological defects. Only rarely does the component of pathological factors take part in the ponerogenesis of such behavior from outside its agents. Well thought out and carefully framed legislation should therefore require testing of individuals whose suggestions that someone else is psychologically abnormal are too insistent or too doubtfully founded. ...
Any person rebelling internally against a governmental system, which shall always strike him as foreign and difficult to understand, and who is unable to hide this well enough, shall thus easily be designated by the representatives of said government as “mentally abnormal� , someone who should submit to psychiatric treatment. A scientifically and morally degenerate psychiatrist becomes a tool easily used for this purpose. ...
The abuse of psychiatry for purposes we already know thus derives from the very nature of pathocracy as a macrosocial psychopathological phenomenon. After all, that very area of knowledge and treatment must first be degraded to prevent it from jeopardizing the system itself...
After all, not only can these sciences knock the weapon of psychological conquest right out of its hands; they can even strike at its very nature, and from inside the empire, at that.
A specific perception of these matters therefore bids the pathocracy to be “ideationally alert� in this area. This also explains why anyone who is both too knowledgeable in this area and too far outside the immediate reach of such authorities should be accused of anything that can be trumped up, including psychological abnormality.
I am actually convinced that it is our work in the area of psychology that is at the root of why Vincent Bridges and gang have been employed for the past 6 years to libel and defame us, and why our efforts to obtain legal relief while still in the U.S. were ignored. As I have reported, we were told "If you don't like what he is doing, stop what you are doing." That was, basically, a pat on Vinnie's back for doing a good job for the FBI, CIA or whoever it is that backs him and his pals. That's why he knows he can say and do all kinds of illegal things and get away with it. Fortunately, his extensive efforts in that area have had an effect that his handlers didn't anticipate. As it happens, anybody with two firing neurons can see that if there is so much defamatory attention devoted to such a small group as we are, there MUST be a reason! Literally hundreds of people have come to us and said: "I knew you were onto something good because otherwise, there would not be so much hate being spewed about you."
Now, that is someone who has learned to think out of the box and see the picture within the picture.
