The Facts:By comparing traits of psychopaths, as determined by experts, to those of people in corporate or political positions of power, we can see a clear link.
Reflect On:Psychopaths feel no remorse, guilt or empathy for their actions. When we look at the many inhumane acts that are currently taking place on our planet, it begs the following question with judgement aside: Are psychopaths running our world?
Editors Note: We felt this was important to discuss, not from a place of judgement and fear but one of observation so we can ask important questions as to whether or not we want to keep supporting the world we are co-creating at this time.
Often when we think of the word psychopath, we think of deranged serial killers that are hopefully locked up in prison for life. While there are many psychopaths who kill for reasons that are unfathomable to most of us and who are indeed in prison, there is an even greater number roaming free in our society and often using their condition to their advantage in any way possible. In fact, it is very likely that you know some–they might even be your colleagues.
Most of us do not know or work with any serial killers, at least not that we are aware of. So, what exactly is a psychopath and how can we define them? The dictionary definition is as follows:
“A person suffering from a chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behavior.”
As you can probably tell, a lot more than just serial killers will fit into this broad definition. In fact, according to Canadian psychologist Dr. Robert Hare, a world-renowned expert on psychopathy, an estimated 1% of the Earth’s population is psychopathic and around

IMHO, Liberalism is a spiritual and mental disorder.
I think there needs to be additional studies done on why certain people are so easily "scammed" by the snakes of the world and blindly follow them at their own peril and that of their friends and families.
Short answer= Yes
Long answer= Yes
Always have run the world.............
Just a sign of the “end” times.
Yeah, because everyone knows there are no psychos in the GOP.
/s
More reflection and envy. Reflection of bad traits, that they know they have. Envy of their targets.
Of course there are psychos in the GOP. We call them RINOs.
The answer is Yes and anyone who is aware of their methods and pathologies realizes it when they see it.
There are tests for psychopathy and they should be used as gating tests for employment in government and corporations. The PCL-R is one of them although there are others.
The Clintons are clearly violent psychopaths who meet the “cunning, devious” description as well.
They belong in institutions, not the White House.
Yep
“Why the worst get on top” a chapter in The Road to Serfdom
A simple brain scan finds if someone is a sociopath or not. You will see a dark spot in the pre frontal cortex. Maybe make it a requirement to get certain jobs and political positions.
I have been saying this for years. I don’t know about the corporate world, but in the government sector, definitely.
The typical liberal defines goodness as something that somebody must comply or die to keep.
Be not of this world
Yes because psychopaths are willing to ignore the social boundaries of propriety and decency. They will push the edge of the envelope wherever it needs to go.
Normal people, restrained by civilization, are too reluctant to do this. Hence they can’t compete for that power.
Mitt Romney could easily be exhibit A for psychotic Republicans.
Most of the Caesars were psychopaths.
Most of the royal dynasties throughout Europe’s history were as well.
Stalin, Mao, Pol pot, NK Kim Family, Latin American dictatorships, all are psychopaths................
A very disturbing article showing how few of Europe’s leaders have children was very revealing; the long-term consequences of their actions now mean nothing to them. I see the same thing in the Church.
The more power and money that flows through a central authority, the more power a government/bureaucracy has, and the steeper a hierarchy, the more it must necessarily attract psychopaths who will do whatever is necessary to climb the greasy pole, and the more moral people are repulsed from participating.
America’s founders absolutely understood this.
