Why Madness Rules

By Ryan Delarme, February 12, 2023

By guest writer Peter van Els

For centuries absolute power and the associated privileges were in the hands of aristocrats, the nobility and the ecclesiastical authorities. Their will was truth and law. That changed when the French Revolution broke out. (1789–1799) Old ideas of absolutism, aristocracy and the power of the church were replaced by ideals, in the following words; ‘Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.’

The individual was central, people had the right to individuality, the right to freedom and choice. The right to be, the ‘I’ became the center. Rene Descrates, French Philosopher (1596-1650) had already given a pass, because he made the following statement: “I think, therefore I am”, in 2023 it is: “I consume, therefore I am.”

‘Freedom’ is a relative concept, because there is no real autonomy, independence. The only true freedom is the freedom within yourself. The freedom and choice to do the right thing.(Lea Ipy) In 2023, ‘equality’ is far from it, the richest are getting richer and inequality is increasing every year. ‘Brotherhood’ is a forgotten concept in these times, where individualization, egoism, narcissism, the ‘I’ and economics, capitalism, neoliberalism are central.

In the past, the nobility and the church ruled – although the church still had a lot of influence until the end of the fifties. My generation still went to church every Sunday – with a strong hand and had absolutism, there were no boundaries for them. Borders were only for the bourgeoisie. Now those walls have been broken down and there is more freedom for the individual, fewer boundaries and boundlessness has increased.

Note: It is mainly about the Western world, but the Western world has largely been world-determining and economy, money, power is still the first priority, because a well-known phenomenon is that power always corrupts.

Man took over from the ecclesiastical institutions and became the universe of his own ‘happiness’, his own individual, his own identity, but that ‘freedom’ also created emptiness, meaninglessness and loneliness, one had to reinvent oneself. And doesn’t this new age create new Psychiatric disorders, new suffering?

The dominant ideology to this day is liberalism (origin: the Enlightenment), politically and socially. The ‘freedom’ of the individual was reflected, among other things, in the pursuit of a market in which the government should adopt a restrained attitude. Postmodernism entered an individualized, neoliberal society, where everyone is alone in the world, with their own responsibility, their own success and where you can buy ‘happiness’ and ‘freedom’.

After the demise of old powers, including the church and especially traditional upbringing (both parents, families and the community were involved in this), norms, values, ethical awareness, morality and boundaries have shifted and become blurred, there are hardly any boundaries anymore, there is no limit. Our new religion has become to consume and consume ‘enlightened’ (to fill the spiritual emptiness within us?), where greed has become a virtue (Greed is Good) and our capitalist society preaches ‘happiness’. Another new commandment is; ‘Thou shalt enjoy’.

Margaret Thatcher; “There is no such thing as society. There are only individuals.”

However, that individual ‘freedom’ also has its downside, namely the increasing degree of loneliness, fear of abandonment, identity problems, emptiness and the loss of meaning. Loneliness, both physical and psychological, is one of the biggest problems of the western world in modern times. In addition, since the 1960s, divorces have increased sharply and people are getting married less. People, children and young people become displaced and detached and search for new forms of meaning.

This puts enormous pressure on people, especially young people, who are brought up under completely different educational, living and environmental conditions. The time of self-development, of self-realization is not an easy road and besides, if you don’t make it, if you are not ‘successful’, it is your own fault, in a world full of lonely souls. However, most of them are not ‘successful’ and thus one creates more losers, more people who drop out, than winners. Fate is often less kind and is also partly determined by their background. Some people are born under good circumstances (familial), but most are born under much more difficult circumstances. (e.g. poverty, divorced parents)

Our young people grow up with the idea that they are at the center of the world and more often grow up without a father figure. When they are raised by both parents, they regularly have to meet high standards and are often spoiled, they always get and want their way, they are spoiled without limits. Attachment has become detachment. It is therefore not surprising that many children, young people and the elderly suffer from separation anxiety, unstable interpersonal relationships, identity problems, mood swings and often a negative self-image. They are impulsive and have suicidal tendencies and self-mutilation. In addition, there is a chronic feeling of emptiness and meaninglessness and a certain intense anger. And there is a high degree of stress/(performance drive) pressure, which affects many. These are all symptoms of borderline disorder, where we’ve gone too far, of “freedom” for everyone. – for one more than for the other of course – to a pretty diseased society. So many damaged children, so many damaged lives. We pay a heavy price for our torn, lonely lives. But it can always get worse, from bad to worse.

From Borderline Times (Dirk de Wachter 2011) to Psychopathic Times

Our primal instinct includes among other things hunting and maternal instinct. The primitive man and today’s modern man are unfortunately not that different, they were hunters then and they are still hunters now and the biggest predator, those at the top of our food chain are psychopaths in leadership positions. It’s eat or be eaten.

Perverse Incentives

A rotten system attracts rotten people. Capitalism, power, greed, ego, stimulate perversity, insanity in man. Looking for successful managers, who are also amply rewarded, creates/nourishes psychopathy and narcissism in man. We ourselves have paved/created the way for this kind of sick behavior, because we are fed with it on a daily basis. In applications for a managerial position, people ask, among other things; Do you dare to take risks? Are you willing to make tough decisions? Are you stress resistant? These are important skills for a managerial position, but is there a sane or a psychopathic manager in front of you? That is a crucial distinction, but is so hard to discern. Debates are held in universities and debate is seen as a true art, whether it is based on truth/facts or not, it doesn’t matter. It is about the debate and when one defends one’s position best and with convincing argumentation, wins. He is rewarded, he gets good grades. Talk for the sake of talking, endless chatter. How do you feed the psychopath? There are also neuropsychologists who guide stock market traders and hedge fund managers in making risky decisions.

The Psychopathic Leader (PL)

They are sellers of confidence, masters of deception, and social chameleons of subterfuge. They are psychopathic ruthless predators and know how to find the defenseless, lonely, vulnerable and naive people and leave them exploited, hurt, bewildered, and drained. These people are the food for such hyenas. As malleable as the liberal man thought he was, he can end up completely dehumanized.

A lot of research has been done into the criminal, ‘unsuccessful’ psychopath and is now well understood, but the ‘successful’ psychopathic leader remains almost under the radar, because of their high intelligence and high degree of self-control. They are snakes in suits, (Snakes in Suits, Babiak & Hare 2006), the man behind the mask and they are almost elusive, making madness more and more sneaky. Psychopathic leaders can be very skilled at hiding their antisocial behavior behind their attractive leadership facade because of their high self-control and their technique of impressing. Therefore, the PL is specifically highlighted here.

Robert D. Hare (Canada, 1934, philosopher and researcher) general description is as follows. “They are charming, manipulative and intimidatingly charismatic. A lot of (verbal) violence is used to control others and to satisfy their own needs. They are unscrupulous and do what they want. They do not obey rules or laws because they do not apply to them. They know no regret or guilt”.

“If you are smart, you will quickly try to express your pathological tendencies in a legitimate way: By seeking positions of power and control. Organizations, multinationals, banks, wall street, systems and politics are ideally suited for that. When it revolves around money, power, prestige, you will find them.” (Manfred Kets de Vries, Psychoanalyst). Important addition: a) Power corrupts. b) Power attracts corrupt people. c) We put corrupt people at the top ourselves. d) The corrupt system they work in makes them corrupt. Behind this sympathetic facade of the PL, a lot of damage is often done.

Dissertation Désiré Palmen on Psychopathic Leaders (PL)

There are two types of psychopathy, primary and secondary psychopathy, with the controlled primary psychopathic type being the most ‘successful’ type. This type is defined as a combination of innate fearlessness and emotional shallowness with a high level of social competence and good to excellent executive functioning. Well-controlled, purposeful, intelligent and charming.

Secondary psychopathy, (the criminal psychopath) is more strongly defined by destructive social experiences. Intense feelings. High level of subconscious fear and negative, unstable emotional nervousness and are often more impulsive and hostile as a result. They lack “the mask of sanity” and the charm, charisma, intelligence, and self-control of the primary type.

A PL exhibits immoral behavior, is narcissistic, loyal to himself, lacks conscience and empathy, and has a great desire to control his environment. Characteristics of psychopathic and narcissistic personalities: Are extremely ambitious, obsessed with increasing power and demand admiration. They are convinced that they are entitled to privileges and extra benefits. They surround themselves with people they can dominate. Brilliant at manipulation. Charming and charismatic, ruthlessly humiliate others, lie, intimidate, verbally attack, feign empathy and concern.

The “successful” psychopath uses indirect forms of aggression. They lie, cheat, manipulate and, if necessary, bring others into disrepute. They have the urge to predominate, to dominate. Gaining/having power can lead to anti-social behaviour, such as cheating, fraud, manipulations, workplace harassment and white-collar crime. The consequences are dramatic for companies and in politics. Well-being suffers from PL. Studies show that many PL are not competent for important positions. Often negative outcomes, are related to finances, employee well-being (high turnover and low engagement) and ethics.

Take a look at the senate, the lower house, the second chamber and our government, don’t you see and hear them? There are so many psychopaths in important positions and there is a lack of knowledge and understanding of PL. In reality, there are many more PL than are currently known, due to lack of research, these people are difficult to classify (the face behind the mask), precisely because they are so intelligent (in playing people) and have high self-control. They don’t like to participate in investigations, of course, and are likely to out-compete the investigators and easily pass a lie detector as well. They are brilliant chameleons.

In a democratic government, politicians with a high level of integrity and moral values are absolutely necessary. When there is more equality, prosperity, well-being, there is less violence, more contentment and mental, physical health. If we want to heal the world, we must put plasters on the stinking wound. Not feeding insanity, but feeding common sense, wisdom and love. The way forward is that of the heart.

Nothing has been written here yet about the differences between men and women, nor about the role of testosterone, neurotransmitters, pills, drugs and alcohol. (maybe in another piece) That neurotransmitters, drugs, medicines, alcohol play a very important role is a fact and that is also an indication why we are NOW living in times of De-lusion.

“Our main task is to pursue virtue in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only virtuous action can make life beautiful and dignified.” (Albert Einstein)

OpEd: Joe Biden Declares War on MAGA in Ominous Speech

By Ryan Delarme, September 2, 2022

Joe Biden gave a fiery speech on Thursday from what appeared to be the 7th or the 8th circle of Hell. In his speech, the bumbling Deep-State spokesperson who we are supposed to believe is leading the free world demonized over 74 million Americans as domestic extremists. 

During the speech, Joe Biden made sure to draw a distinction between these MAGA “Extremists” and “Mainstream Republicans”, who you might also classify as weak establishment charlatans.  

Biden expressed his concerns regarding modern America when he said “Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal” and with this point, he is on the mark, as our nation has normalized butchering the genitalia of children and has chosen to send billions to a foreign country while the residents of Jackson Mississippi have run out of clean water.

Of course, it’s the detestable MAGA Republicans (veterans, soccer moms, small business owners, etc.) who are the “threat to our democracy”, and not the animated corpse sowing division on a scale never seen before.

 Of course, the Biden voter base, who spent an entire summer looting, rioting, and burning down cities, get a free pass. Even though they caused many deaths, injuries, and billions of dollars worth of property damage, the radical left doesn’t even merit an honorary mention apparently. Just to add a little context, the footage in the video below does NOT contain any examples of extremist behavior.

Perhaps I’m deranged, but it seems like this speech is essentially a statement on the record in regards to the intentions of the Federal Government. The White House and friends seem to be building a narrative for whatever percentage of citizens still actually believe anything coming from this administration, albeit on a poor foundation. They want us to believe that a majority of Americans are with Biden, and that (from the lips of Karin Jean-Pierre herself) anyone who is not “with where a majority of Americans are.. Then that is extreme,” but what the White House Press Secretary must not realize, or willingly omits, is that Biden is barely holding on to a 42% approval rating and is certainly not supported by “the majority”.

But of course, the real baddies are those vile MAGA Republicans who “embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies.” Leave it to Joe Biden, the great unifier, to stoke the flames of this civil culture war.

Hilariously enough, Joe Biden went so far as to claim that “MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution, they do not believe in the rule of law”, because we all know that the likes of Joe Biden, Antifa, and Black Lives Matter are staunch constitutionalists.

Trump-Endorsed Arizona Republican Gubernatorial Nominee Kari Lake, a real politician, took on the liberal media outside of her campaign headquarters on Thursday night to respond to Joe Biden’s hateful rhetoric against the American people and discuss her America First agenda.

Lake opened her press conference by slamming Joe Biden’s awful tactics and her Biden-backing opponent, radical leftist Katie Hobbs.

Though it is unconfirmed, it appears that David Lynch was hired to make independence hall look like the Black Lodge.

We are living in dark times. Some of us are wondering if the recent mass hire of 87 thousand IRS agents, many of whom are being trained to use deadly force, will be a proxy army that will be used to harass Trump voters and anyone who refuses to comply with medical tyranny. Of course, this is purely speculation, but all it would take is the execution of a single or multiple false flag events to drum up a reason to go after these MAGA Republicans with force. Unfortunately, in the current state of our country, this speculation does not seem to be outside of the realm of possibility.

Stay safe out there folks, and hold close to family, friends, and the white light. Never resort to violence and make peace where you can. The rest of 2022 could be a rocky ride.

Opinion: The American Bankers Association Announce Seminar on ‘Domestic Terrorism’ While Ignoring Other Issues, Because YOU are the Real Danger

By Ryan Delarme, August 20, 2022

The American Bankers Association  (ABA) has recently announced that they will be holding a seminar on September 28, 2022, titled ‘Domestic Terrorism: A Threat to the Financial System’.

As per their website,

 “ABA proudly represents institutions of all asset sizes and charter types. These diverse perspectives drive the development of our daily work and policy positions. Take a look at where we’ve been, and where we’re going. From delivering the latest industry news to developing mission-critical training offerings, we support America’s banks as they perform their vital role in energizing the economy and helping communities thrive.”

This webinar comes as more serious threats to our economy mount. The webinar does not seem to cover high inflation, big hits to manufacturing, exceptionally high consumer prices, and households accumulating unprecedented credit card debt to survive; all as the economy is weakening at an alarming pace.

Despite this, the ABA has decided to focus in on ‘domestic terrorism’, a term whose definition has become rather amorphous in recent years as it’s been used to describe disgruntled citizens, concerned parents, poll watchers, protestors, and so on. 

Some have gone so far as to call the seminar “continued indoctrination”. The seminar’s description reads:

Take a closer look at the rise of domestic terrorists and other extremist groups, how they communicate and receive funding, and the threats they pose to the financial system.

Discussion highlights:

  • The changing threat landscape and the risks to the integrity of our financial system
  • The informal nature of the groups and their reliance on social media
  • How they receive funding

Audience:

  • Chief Risk Officer

  • Chief Compliance Officer

  • BSA Officer

  • BSA Manager

  • Fraud Manager

  • Compliance Managers

  • Risk Managers

  • Internal Audit

  • First Line Compliance Managers

One can’t help but wonder if the timing of this seminar has anything to do with the recent mass hire and arms training of 87,000 new IRS agents. If anyone is committing acts of terrorism, it’s the so-called financial institutions of the United States.

Technocracy 101: If Fed and CDC Are ‘Independent,’ Elections Mean Nothing

By Ryan Delarme, June 23, 2022

Ben Bartee,
June 22nd, 2022

Basic civics recap: the US president, per the Constitution, is the elected executive. That means he is tasked with executing government functions.

He is granted – again, through a theoretically democratic election process – the authority to dictate government activities within the confines of the laws. The legislative branch passes laws; the judicial branch vets them for constitutionality; the executive implements them.

The process, as designed, is not at all vague.

How odd, then, that the Biden White House press secretaries – first Jen Psaki and now the admitted diversity hire Karine Jean-Pierre – repeatedly undermine their own president’s executive authority.

Whenever they’re asked about Federal Reserve or CDC (Centers for Disease Control) policies — government agencies under the umbrella of executive authority — they refuse to give a straight answer on the grounds that the government body in question is “independent.”

“The Federal Reserve is independent. We leave them to make their own policy decisions. We do not get involved in that.”
-Karine Jean-Pierre, WH spokeswoman

The WH has the same hands-off approach to the dictates of the CDC and the shadowy, unelected “experts” who set its policies.

Here’s just one example (you can literally find one from every WH press conference), on the unscientific CDC “travel bans” from abroad last year despite COVID being already widespread in the US:

“Psaki: We are always going to be guided by our North Star — and that is the CDC and our health and medical experts.”
…
Reporter: The Delta variant is already dominant in the U.S., so how does keeping people from foreign countries out, like, protect people in the U.S.?
…
Psaki:  I’m not a doctor or a medical expert.  I think that that would best be posed to a member of the CDC… But I think their decision was made based on the fact that the Delta variant is more transmissible.”
–White House Press Briefing, July 26, 2021

And on the mask mandate issue – even after a federal court struck down the airline mask mandate – Psaki came out and publicly “disagreed” with the court’s decision because, she declared, the CDC is in charge:

“[The Department of Justice] indicated that they would appeal, not just because they think it’s entirely reasonable, of course, to have this additional time to look at it but because they think that for current and future public health crises, we want to preserve that authority for the CDC to have in the future.”
–White House Press Briefing, April 20, 2022

Consequential decisions with life or death implications are theirs, not your (theoretically) elected leaders’!

Who “they” are, exactly, remains unclear, as no one ever actually cites the specific “experts” referenced by name.

“Experts say“= “shut up and obey, ignorant serf. The Science© Gods run the show now. They speak through their conduit, His Grace Anthony Fauci.”

Turning off your mental faculties in blind submission symbolizes your good faith.

Psaki: ‘Sir Fauci of the independent NIH has decreed this duck is a cat. Jot that down, loyal subjects, for dissemination to the peasants.’

WH Press Corps: ‘Without delay, Slay Queen.’

—————–

This is fundamental stuff that can’t be lost on even the most distracted ADHD-afflicted voter.

If government agencies act independently — meaning elected leaders have no influence over their operations — then what’s the point of participation in elections?

Voting becomes ceremonial democratic ritual minus the actual democracy.

No one elected the CDC head to do anything. Ditto with DHS Secretary, the DOD Secretary, NIH Director Warlord Fauci, et al.

But it gets deeper. At least those department figureheads are appointed by a theoretically elected leader, so there’s arguably some tangential democratic tether connecting them to the will of the voters.

But what about the multinational Deep State — the real policy setters never discussed in the New York Times or on MSNCB — who linger in the shadows from administration to administration, who set policy priorities passed down from the international level?

Head of the World Economic Forum Klaus Schwab at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government in 2017:

“What we are very proud of, is that we penetrate the global cabinets of countries with our WEF Young Global Leaders… like Trudeau”pic.twitter.com/D6odR5mqI6

— Maajid أبو عمّار (@MaajidNawaz) January 25, 2022

 

“What we are very proud of, is that we penetrate the global cabinets of countries with our WEF Young Global Leaders.”

Top politicians are no longer selected by corrupt in-house Boss Hog-like political machines, which would be bad enough. The nomination process for American leadership is now offshored to a real-life technocratic Dr. Evil, headquartered overseas and adorned in menacing dystopian techno-garb like a Star Trek villain.

Musk: the president isn’t the president

I have long said that Biden is a disposable puppet president. Now, Elon Musk, who has much greater reach, has publicly agreed.

Lots of well-intentioned dissident commentators often repeat the rhetoric that “Biden did this,” “Biden did that.”

Biden doesn’t do anything. The most he can be said to do is to parrot his talking points on cue, but he barely ever makes it out of the basement for that. And when he does fumble through them, he’s barely coherent.

The implication of “Biden did that, what a bad guy” is that driving him out of office will solve anything. It won’t.

Getting rid of Biden, while a plus, will do nothing to cripple and usurp the Deep State power structure.

Once Biden inevitably goes, the technocratic ruling class will simply replace him with a new titular puppet. And the agenda will continue uninterrupted.

—————

Things might not be as hopeless as they might seem – if we take the right lessons.

Elections at the local level, for instance, to elect county commissioners who make practical decisions daily do count far more than national-level ones.

Decoupling from the multinational corporate technocracy isn’t going to be painless, but it’s doable with the proper paradigm shifts.

Globalization is the disease; localization is the cure.

OpEd: Now That the CDC Got Caught Abusing Sacred Navajo Indigenous Peoples of Color© Privacy Rights, Maybe the Left Will Care

By Ryan Delarme, June 14, 2022

Ben Bartee
June 13th, 2022

Originally published via Armageddon Prose:

The corporate left and their legion of lobotomized NPC robots cheerlead when legacy MAGA Americans get caught in the crosshairs of the Deep State surveillance state.

That’s liberal and loving. Because those are Our Values©. Running roughshod over the Constitutional rights of “white nationalists” (leftist code for “whoever disagrees with us”) is, of course, how Democracy© works.

Here’s an excerpt from a Signal conversation with an otherwise intelligent and empathetic SF-based friend concerning the recent advent of the Department of Homeland Security’s ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ — the Empire’s new technological terror project to subvert Constitutional protections of free speech.

 

(I have to supply my friend with CNN articles because Bill Gates-funded fact-checking scams have convinced him that those are the only “authoritative” sources of information. Otherwise, he won’t even read information I relay on the grounds that it’s a Russian disinformation psy-op or whatever.)

Somewhat surprisingly, my friend hadn’t even heard of the ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ – even after its creation had dominated corporate media headlines for over a week.

Despite being totally team DNC, he’s usually better informed about stuff going on, especially when it saturates social media to the extent that corporate media is forced to cover it.

Here was his reply.

 

“If it’s pissing off right-wingers, it must be good.”

This is now a near-universal knee-jerk reaction to abuse of government power among overeducated coastal elites.

For brevity’s sake, we’ll only mention in passing the glaring fact, which I pointed out, that the US government is the biggest misinformer in recorded history.

That’s the entire job of the State Department.

 

US Secretary of State Colin Powell displays to the world rock-solid evidence of Saddam’s non-existent WMD program so start a war, Feb 5, 2003

Maybe, though – just maybe — the mindless leftist NPCs might be a little more sympathetic to civil liberties proponents once they learn of the dystopian surveillance grid enacted upon the native sacred Persons of Color© in addition to MAGA.

Via VICE:

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) bought access to location data harvested from tens of millions of phones in the United States to perform analysis of compliance with curfews, track patterns of people visiting K-12 schools, and specifically monitor the effectiveness of policy in the Navajo Nation, according to CDC documents obtained by Motherboard.”

It’s a sad state of affairs — and it says a lot about far Western civilization has fallen — but the only way to convince anyone on the “left” to stand up for civil liberties anymore is to try to make a connection, however tangential, to grievance-based identity politics.

The American Civil Liberties Union, for one, isn’t riding in on a white horse. That organization is now far more interested in promoting fascistic vaccine mandates while claiming they somehow “further civil liberties” and congratulating themselves for hiring racial tokens to leadership positions than protecting Americans’ civil liberties.
