    Ilargi – “And they will, to a man, use their positions to rob us blind while pretending to have our best interests at mind. It’s what allowing money to enter your political system will always lead to: you can elect only made men.”

    I think I linked this article before: “Masters of Manipulation: Psychopaths Rule the World”. It’s a good overview of how psychopaths seek power. They are disloyal, excellent liars, pretenders.

    “A study out of Great Britain last year using a psychopathic survey to assess the presence of psychopathic traits within the national workforce showed that CEO’s, politicians, media honchos, lawyers, surgeons, military generals, police officers and the clergy all scored highest. Generally any line of work characterized by a hierarchical infrastructure that places those in positions of power ruling over others with relative impunity proves to be the most fertile ground attracting those with a psychopathic personality.”

    “Masters of Manipulation”: Psychopaths Rule The World

    Then we have this article where the author says that Congress is owned by Israel, and most of the media too (and he’s Jewish).

    “Netanyahu grew up in the United States. When his father was boycotted by Israeli academia, which refused to take him seriously as a historian, the family moved to a suburb of Philadelphia. Binyamin prides himself on having an intimate knowledge of the US.

    What is he thinking about?

    He knows that Israel controls the US Congress. No American politician could possibly be reelected if he voiced even the slightest hint of criticism of the “Jewish State”. AIPAC, the most powerful lobby in Washington (apart from the National Rifle Association) will see to that. The powerful grip the Jewish lobby has on the media is a further guarantee.”

    Prime Minister “Chickenshit”

    Controls the U.S. Congress? And, of course, there are other powerful lobbies to contend with. So we have psychopaths (as politicians) who do the bidding for vested interests. They control what we see and hear (through propaganda), say (political correctness), and do (they make the rules). Yes, we get to vote, but we’re confronted with dumb and dumber, as you said. It appears the Supreme Court is nicely in bed with them too.

    They’ve got the judiciary, the executive branch, the legislative branch, the media. Nice coup! Where do we fit in again? Oh, yes, we get to eat the debt while they implement their schemes which will in the end make us poorer and them richer (which they are all well aware of before they’re implemented).

    But hey, they do this because WE ALLOW THEM TO DO IT. Phone, email, write your representatives and tell them you are no longer going to put up with it. Stop buying corporate products and buy local whenever you can. Get your money out of the big banks.

    Perhaps others have suggestions on how to fight them?

    Ilargi;
    One of your very best. I can’t possibly offer anything more to what you said, thank you.

    “Not only did the pedantic Anglo-Saxon power hungry freak show of Harper, Cameron and Abbott (nobody even noticed Obama) give Vladimir V. Putin a good laugh with their empty chest thumping,….”

    This extract from your article was amply reinforced by the comments by the SALON website post What really happened in Beijing: Putin, Obama, Xi — and the back story the media won’t tell you (https://www.salon.com/2014/11/13/what_really_happened_in_beijing_putin_obama_xi_and_the_back_story_the_media_wont_tell_you/ ) This article gives a realistic analysis of the unspoken events taking place at the recent APEC meeting, confirming many of the submarine currents driving global todays geopolitics are driven by US attempts to maintain its global hegemony in the face of Sino-Russian ambitions to challenge it. The article ends with these intriguing and acerbic remarks by a Chinese scholar-turned-diplomat-turned scholar made at a dinner in Beijing regarding the Ukraine, but the acerbic remarks apply to virtually everywhere where conflicts and geopolitical tensions exist:

    “From our perspective, we see all of this agitation as noise at the surface,” he said. Then he cited that scene from “Macbeth” at Dunsinane Castle, “Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

    The Chinese — always attuned to the long view. Who are the idiots in this man’s rendering? I leave it there.

    Let’s hope it does signify nothing, during the loss of the British empire the period had two world wars and WW3 would truly be the war to end all wars.

    Her left hand looks more normal in this picture, leading me to doubt my assessment of the “withered left hand” from nerve injury at birth, based on her photograph posted a couple of days ago, where she held it in her larger right hand.

    Dont’ch think our world is run by sociopaths, with “fools” as a cover-story?
    The know just how much “we’ll let them”, and have layers of defenses, fall guys and thugs to control the eventual backlash. PR does most of the work of controlling us, while finance gently exsanguinates…

    Pepe Escobar has a good run-down on what happened at APEC.
    G-20 may or may not have had anything happen, if it did, it was a secret.

    John et al, I’m not sure that labelling every little prime minister a full blown sociopath is very useful. They surely all have symptoms, no doubt about it, but you don’t have to exhibit all traits to be very harmful. The most relevant question in my view is probably the very basic: what kind of person wants to be in that kind of position? You can take it from there, it all follows from that. But 100% sociopath is not a requirement, the true sociopaths may well remain one or two steps removed from the limelights.
