Profile of a Psychopath

Ludecke writes: "He has a matchless instinct for taking advantage of every breeze to raise a political whirlwind. No official scandal was so petty that he could not magnify it into high treason.... His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

Your Say

Sounds familiar.

Chillingly familiar.

Speaking of familiar leftist cant; Ever notice how all those documentaries on Hitler and National Socialism very rarely deign to provide a translation of NatSoc rhetoric?

We see the same tired footage of various NatSoc officials waving their arms and spouting off gutterally in front of a nodding enraptured crowd, but almost never do we see the subtitles but for brief (careful) snippets.

Having delved into primary sources a bit in a desire to understand how such a 'progressive' 'modern' people could descend into such collective darkness, I came to understand that our contemporary shepherds of [godless] morality by centralized consensus aren't so much afraid that we simpleminded 'masses' -who need their august guidance- will buy into the rhetoric as they are afraid that we'll recognize the very same rhetoric and spiritual appeals and "Gleischaltung" methodology being applied to US today.

Yeah the psychopath holds to a pattern, and the leader who is one will keep to that pattern as well. And I have no doubt whatsoever that someone seeking power his entire life and shaping himself to that end would study previous men of power.
