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

103 Noticable in any country. In the present day, when the United States is

well on the way to becoming a full-blown pathocracy, and is thus the source

of the contamination, spellbinders for the deviant reality promote “American

style” economics and “culture,” and are even viewed by their fellow coun-

trymen as “America-ophiles”. Most people do not understand that the first

step to becoming part of the Global pathocracy that America is attempting to

impose on the world is to become part of the economic system as it is formu-

lated in America. A recent example of a country rejecting this maneuver is

France’s rejection of the European Constitution, a document focusing on the

neo-liberal transformation of the European economy along the lines of the

U.S. model. [Editor’s note.]

PATHOCRACY

In addition to these spellbinders, we can find another kind

of preacher of revolutionary ideas, one whose status is basi-

cally linked to the money he receives for his activities. How-

ever, it is unlikely that its ranks include people who could be

characterized as psychologically normal with no reservations

on the basis of the above-mentioned criteria. Their indifference

to the human suffering caused by their own activities is derived

from deficiencies in their perceived value of societal links or

their capacity to foresee the results of their activities.

In ponerogenic processes, moral deficiencies, intellectual

failings, and pathological factors intersect in a time-space

causative network giving rise to individual and national suffer-

ing.

Any war waged with psychological weapons costs only a

fraction as much as classical warfare, but it does have a cost,

especially when it is being waged simultaneously in many

countries throughout the world.

People acting in the name of pathocracy’s interests may ef-

fect their activities in parallel, under the banner of some tradi-

tional or other ideology, or even with the assistance of a con-

tradictory ideology battling the traditional one. In these latter

cases, the service must be performed by individuals whose

response to the call of the pathocracy is sufficiently vehement

so as to prevent the self-suggestive activities of the other ideol-

ogy they are using from weakening the links with their actual

hopes for power.

Whenever a society contains serious social problems, there

will also be some group of sensible people striving to improve

the social situation by means of energetic reforms, so as to

eliminate the cause of social tension. Others consider it their

duty to bring about a moral rejuvenation of society. Elimina-

tion of social injustice and reconstruction of the country’s mor-

als and civilization could deprive a pathocracy of any chance to

take over. Such reformers and moralists must therefore be con-

sistently neutralized by means of liberal or conservative posi-

tions and appropriately suggestive catchwords and paramoral-

isms; if necessary, the best among them has to be murdered.

Psychological warfare strategists must decide rather early

on which ideology would be most efficient in a particular coun-

try because of its adaptability to said nation’s traditions. After

all, the appropriately adapted ideology must perform the func-

tion of a Trojan horse, transporting pathocracy into the country.

These various ideologies are then gradually conformed to one’s

own original master plan. Finally, off comes the mask.

At the right time, local partisans are organized and armed,

with recruits picked from dissatisfied localities; leadership is

provided by trained officers familiar with the secret idea as

well as the operative idea concocted for propagation in the

country in question. Assistance must then be given so groups of

conspirators adhering to the concocted ideology can stage a

coup d’état, whereupon an iron-fisted government is installed.

Once this has been brought about, the diversionary partisans’

activities are stymied – they are made out to be patsies - so that

the new authorities can take credit for bringing about internal

peace. Any hoodlum who cannot or will not submit to the new

decrees is “gently” invited before his former leader and shot in

the back of the head. This is the new reality.

This is how such governmental systems are born. A network

of pathological ponerogenical factors is already active, as is the

inspirational role of essential psychopathy. However, that does
