Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes

The most frequently used methods include paralogistic and

conversion methods such as the projection of one’s own quali-

ties and intention onto other persons, social groups, or nations,

paramoral indignation, and reverse blocking. This last method

is a pathocratic favorite used on the mass scale, driving the

minds of average people into a dead end because, as a result, it

causes them to search for the truth in the “golden mean” be-

tween the reality and its opposite.101

101 This is being very effectively used at the present time under the guise of

“The War on Terror”, a completely manufactured device that utilizes “false

flag operations” to herd people into “support camps” for the U.S. imperialist

agenda. [Editor’s note.]

PATHOCRACY

We should thus point out that although various works in the

area of psychopathology contain descriptions of most of these

near-hypocritical methods, an overall summary filling the gaps

observed is absent and sorely needed. How much better it

would be if the people and governments of normal man’s coun-

tries could take advantage of such a work and behave like an

experienced psychologist, noting the reproaches heaped upon

them in the course of projection and turning around statements

whose character indicate reverse blocking. A bit of analytical

cosmetics would then produce a low-cost list of a pathocratic

empire’s intentions.102

Law has become the measure of right within the countries

of normal human systems. We often forget how imperfect a

creation of human minds it really is, how dependent it is on

formulations based upon data which legislators can understand.

In legal theory, we accept its regulatory nature as a given and

consequently agree that in certain cases its activities may not

be quite concurrent with human reality. Understood thus, the

law furnishes insufficient support for counteracting a phe-

nomenon whose character lies outside of the possibilities of the

legislators’ imagination. Quite the contrary: pathocracy knows

how to take advantage of the weaknesses of such a legalistic

manner of thinking.

However, this macrosocial phenomenon’s internal actions

and external expansion are based upon psychological data. As

such, regardless of how these data are deformed within the

pathocrats’ personalities, its cunning is vastly superior to nor-

mal people’s legal systems. This makes pathocracy the social

system of the future, albeit in the shape of a caricature.

Therefore, the future for normal man belongs to social sys-

tems which are based on an improved comprehension of man

in all his psychological variations; evolution in this direction

can, among other things, ensure greater resistance to the expan-

102 This is currently being done, and quite well, by alternative news sources

on the internet, bloggers, and many “ordinary” people who can easily see

what is going on. Unfortunately, to date, no ruling party in any significant

country with the power to stand against the pathocracy of the U.S. has man-

aged to think that far. [Editor’s note.]

sionary methods this macrosocial phenomenon uses in its quest

to dominate the world.

Pathocracy Imposed by Force

The genesis of pathocracy in any country is so lengthy a

process that it is difficult to pinpoint when it began. If we take

into consideration those historical examples which should be

qualified in that regard, we will most frequently observe the

figure of an autocratic ruler whose mental mediocrity and in-

fantile personality finally opened the door to the ponerogenesis

of the phenomenon. Wherever a society’s common sense is

sufficiently influential, its self-preservation instinct is able to

overcome this ponerogenic process rather early. Things are

different when an active nucleus of this disease already exists

and can dominate by means of infection or the imposition of

force.

Whenever a nation experiences a “system crisis” or a hy-

peractivity of ponerogenic processes within, it becomes the

object of a pathocratic penetration whose purpose is to serve

up the country as booty. It will then become easy to take ad-

vantage of its internal weaknesses and revolutionary move-

ments in order to impose rule on the basis of a limited use of

force. Conditions such as a great war or a country’s temporary
