For some background, the article is currently about the concept of "political ponerology" as proposed by Andrzej Łobaczewski in his book
Political Ponerology (Polish:
Ponerologia polityczna. Nauka o naturze zła w adaptacji do zagadnień politycznych). The book was published by Red Pill Press or Pilule Rouge, a publishing house owned by Arkadiusz Jadczyk and Laura Knight-Jadczyk, the leaders of a
new religious group named the Fellowship of the Cosmic Mind (see
here for a list of everyone on the board of directors of the Fellowship,
here for proof that most of the directors of the Fellowship are involved in Quantum Future Group,
here for proof that Red Pill Press/Pilule Rouge is owned by QFG; in addition,
Red Pill Press's homepage shows that most of their books were written by directors of the Fellowship or otherwise related to the Fellowship, as well as having an affiliates list which only list sites affiliated with the Fellowship).
The book itself outlines an alleged phenomenon known as "pathocracy". The ideas presented in this book, however, are a deeply antisemetic, racist, and eugenicist conspiracy theory (
this article explains the conspiracy theory in far better detail than I could). The publisher itself is also known for
parroting conspiracy theories about
Bush and the
Mossad committing 9/11 and
regularly platforming Aleksandr Dugin, among other things.
The article doesn't mention any of this. In fact, the article promoted the so-called study of "political ponerology" as if it were a legitimate field of study rather than part of a conspiracy theory for over 14 years. The article was initially written by an editor with an undisclosed connection to the Fellowship (see
WP:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_187#User:Poneros) and, before this morning, had only four sources, Two of them were the book itself, one of them was a news outlet named Signs of the Times or Sott.net, which is also owned by the Fellowship, and one of them was pages 37-40 of Kazimierz Dąbrowski's
The Dynamics of Concepts, in which Dąbrowski supposedly supported Łobaczewski's assertion that he and other researchers worked together on the book in a secret research group. I managed to track down a copy of the book yesterday and found that the relevant pages did not mention anything to do with Łobaczewski, ponerology, pathocracy, or any sort of secret research group. The closest thing to that within those pages was Dąbrowski talking about negative integration and its connection to psychopathy before talking about
positive disintegration. If anyone wants to verify this, we're willing to send a copy of the pages to them.
At this point, I think it'd be best to
blow it up and start over, changing the article's subject to be about the book and the spread of its ideas, if we are to have an article about this at all. In its current form, there is
nothing worth saving in this article. ~Red of
