The Ascendance of Sociopaths in U.S. Governance

By Doug Casey

International Man

July 18, 2024

...Now, I believe, it’s out of control...

...To me, this is completely predictable. It’s what sociopaths do.

First, only a few can afford to be 'the International Man'. Second, the International Man quite possibly may be circumscribed by an addiction to shallow attachments. And not rooted in anything particular. Can't say for certain, but it seems to me to be quite possibly so.

I watched the Republican Convention. People are being totally scripted by narratives ... and even most of the people attending the convention as delegates probably don't know the full extent of some of the fraud going on. The more I saw of the convention in light of recent events, the more I think the next president is being selected, and not so much elected.

I am rather sure of the above because I did a little test today. I uncharacteristically left a free standing comment in Comments. And since nobody has of yet replied, it either went over people's heads, or in some cases ... people fear to say out loud what what they see and hear, what they think. Or the third possibility is that I am seen as the nut. Speak to or even hint mildly at the truth these days, and people will think you are nuts. It was, after all, like that back in Covid Season.

One thing that really struck me (from Vance's speech) was his dismissal and quick criticism of Wall Street Banks in favor of "the working man." Anyone with half a brain knows that the banks aren't going to lose one tiny smidgen of power or preference, to say nothing of whatever degree of control Wall Street actually wields in Washington politics. Vance is a really smart guy, and I'm certain he knows this.

daverkb's avatar

I heard that from Vance ... and I really don't know much about him. And I like to believe the best ... BUT. But my reaction is the same as yours. And I know from long experience that nobody but nobody gets to where Trump and Vance are without powerful backers. And we know that The Money Talks ... and also manipulates, connives, orchestrates and arranges.

I've been real close to local political figures and they will glad talk you out of both sides of their mouth and grind you up for sausage the minute you aren't looking. And anybody good, anybody they can't control, they'll get rid of. I've seen it time and again. Sometimes it takes them a long time. Sometimes the good candidate never makes it past the primary. And speaking of political parties, which party is more duplicitous I cannot say. You might, for instance, point to Biden, Pelosi, etc., and the horrors of corruption. But then again, who gave us 911 and the Patriot Act? And set the predicate for endless, unlimited warfare?

So, the Dems are now the party of total corruption. And what did I see at the Republican Convention. They are trying to make themselves over into the party of the Common Man, just like the Dems once said they were before they went totally Woke Wonkers. And honestly, it a complete mess.

I am going to vote Republican, even though I know that candidates are now more selected than elected. My reasons why are to complex to go into.

That's a fascinating article, and all too real.

Some men were revolted and couldn't participate, some did so albeit not really liking it, and a few really got into it and behaved like monsters. A sickening read, but oh so educational about human nature.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

Yuri,

You are correct about mass mail in vote dumps. How did those occur? There are at least two possible methods.

a. The company who prints mail in ballot materials, printed thousands and thousands more than were necessary for each county (15 counties in AZ). As example in Arizona, Runbeck Company not only prints the ballots, they also mail them for the counties. Who did they mail them to? No one knows because as a private company they don't tell and they aren't required to prove chain of custody. There is so much voter apathy that many don't even realize or care their ballot didn't show up. Were many delivered to a ballot harvesting drop house? Likely as the folks manipulating elections have several election cycles worth of data as to who votes and who doesn't. And since no identity is required to submit a mail in ballot, it is simple to forge a signature and mail in or drop off in wholesale quantity. Further, by statute, our secretary of state and the two biggest County's (Maricopa and Pima) "Democrat" and "Republican" parties get a daily update (if they request it - the other 13 counties only can get a weekly update -is that an equal protection violation? I'd say yes) as to who has and therefore who has not voted their early ballot so they know exactly who they can vote for, and counties are required to accept mail in ballots through 7 pm on "election day". You've got to do that to ensure you can guarantee the result you seek to impose.

b. Crooked USPS contract workers get lists of what voters live at which addresses - I, and anyone, can buy those lists from the County Recorder for a small amount of money. If a voter drops their ballot in the mail, USPS worker compares name to list, stashes ballot in separate pouch and delivers to drop house. Drop house opens ballot outside envelope, which reveals signature envelope - so now they have a signature to be reasonably copied - then removes ballot and inserts doctored ballot, signs new signature envelope, and puts it in location for crooked USPS workers to finish delivering, all done in a day or two - and lets not forget, that is why the "early ballot" period is so ridiculously long, so they have time to do all the dirty work to get the result they need.

c. Both A and B above.

I could go on for several more paragraphs to talk about the election machines which ARE CONNECTED TO THE NETWORK, but I think you get the main points. They have the mail in ballots for wholesale ballot fraud and the programmable, networked machines to guarantee nothing can fall through the holes and cracks.

Mail in ballots have one purpose and one purpose only, to manipulate elections. They are not to make voting easier. And they have filled the judiciary with enough corrupt judges to ensure we the "Sovereigns" do not get to look at their tainted results. Ever.

There was some lowlife who ran his car off the road in LA in 2020. He hoofed it but when CHP officers were examining his car they found a box full of filled-out mail-in ballots. I'm assuming they were Biden ballots... I don't know whatever happened after that.

This has always been the plan, swapping Joe out. (I was saying it 2+ years ago). The only unforeseen thing from the Democrats perspective was how bad the debate performance by Zombie Joe would be. The Dems wanted to wait until after the convention so they could utilize the rules updates they did last year to just pick (without their convention delegates a real choice). It looks like that timetable has been moved up a bit. Deep State wouldn't be going along with this now unless they feel secure in the cheat-machine set-up in the Rustbelt swing states. The new person will be given the narrative of 'momentum'. Even Fox is going along. Britt Hume giving aircover last night that even with a demented Joe, Joe was 'only' a few points behind Trump. So expect a narrative of "Wow, the Dems are really energized now with the new nominee. Trump had his bump, but people are rallying around the DEI pick." Then the Deep State cheats again and our side whines and goes along with the installation of another White House occupant. The only hope for Trump is that he legitimately swing enough other states where the Dem cheat machine isn't mature due to their over confidence. (Anyone remember Hillary not campaigning in Wisconsin?) Pray people! Pray that Trump is protected. Pray that the evil machinations behind the scenes to cheat are exposed before the election so they can be stopped. And pray that there is no black swan event that will give the Dems 'aircover' to go martial law or interfere with election certification of Trump winning in January.

I think they are working out Joe doing any pardons for Hunter once Joe steps down. And rest assured Joe has access to a lot of dirt on a lot of Dems to have been able to go on this long. The question is did 'team biden' secure enough of it so that any FBI 'clean up' teams can't find it all, so Jill and other in the BCF can ensure they don't have any 'unfortunate things' happen legally or otherwise. as long as Joe is still running, he can't pardon Hunter or his brother(s). Once he decides to step aside, he is free to do a lot of unseemly things until the Kackler is sworn in. Only real question is which toady who doesn't mind being 2nd banana to Kamala will they insert at VP. Or do they go to Kamala and say "You are president in name only", Hillary or Michele will really be running things along with Obama.

FOX went along during the last election as well.

I was on Twitter then and saw announcements that Twitter would suppress any election win calls until the votes were finished being counted and the winner was certain. Other social media did the same, as well as all of MSM - including FOX. They were all suppressing announcements of the Trump win that was apparent on the evening on November 3.

This is how the 2020 results were "modified" in the swing states. The SAVE Act will not stop this, as too many state and local governments appear to support it.

That's a fact, they didn't steal 2020 with the idea they would ever get it back. They have consolidated their theft and have been working on this theft since they illegally seated the head of lettuce and all the other criminals up and down the ticket.

I have been predicting your last line (black swan with election cancellation) since even before the assassination attempt. However, after the COVID narrative broke last night, the concept that they may just replace the vegetable with something more hypothetically palatable and install yet another Leftist in November seems another distinct possibility. The question I have is, with the overwhelming support for Trump at this point, the screaming obviousness of his popularity, will the masses just stand by and take it all yet again, or will this be the tipping point?

To your question, I direct your attention to the people unjustly imprisoned for Jan. 6th. Other than a few decent reps like Gaetz, MTG, etc., who stands up for them? The Jan. 6th "commissions" purpose was to set a scare narrative to Trump's base: "See what we do even to Grandmoms? And see how the Republicans don't play hardball to protect their own? You can't depend on them after we steal the election again and we don't care what Fox or Twitter says. Remember when Joe said "We have F-16's", well, until power would be transferred, we still have the power of enforcement. We're watching you freedom-loving types. And we have spent 3+ years scraping all messages and communications on anyone of interest to us. What are you really going to do? Rage tweet us again? You will sit there and take it, and come to the conclusion you just need to 'work harder' for 2028." No reason for the Dems to do anything else this go round. They'll cheat. And they'll cheat during certification in January. They are lawless.

That is how the Left operates. Republicans haven't learned. They need Sean Connery's character from "The Untouchables", but when we have one (Bannon), we allow him to be sent to prison with no repercussions with the levers we do control. Mike Johnson is a fraud who has listened to fraud advisors and consultants who always tell Republicans to not get tough because the press will say bad things about you and cost you the House. So Republicans there just go around simping and taking it up the rear. "Please Democrats, be gentle next time you abuse us."

Could not have summed it up so succinctly.

But the question is what will the American people, you and me and all the Patriots on this page do, when they steal 2024 - which I assure you is coming. Let me make something really clear, we can't possibly win too big to rig. They will change mail in ballots and program the machines to give them the counts they want. And they will use the corrupt, complicit "judges" they have already put in office to shut down any challenges as they did in 2020 and 2022. And they will have the media gaslighting us from sunset to sundown about how everything was completely fair and certifiable and we are just a bunch of conspiracy theorist nutcakes. And they will probably lock a lot of people up as they have done with the J6'ers and many others.

What are we going to do? Jeff Childers? My answer? It's not a pleasant one but I don't see any other options: The tree of liberty, must, at times be refreshed with the blood of Patriots and tyrants. It's been in a severe drought for some time now.

Actually, I saw video of him exiting the aircraft in Delaware, and it was sad and scary. He was so weak, it wasn't funny. It could also be side effects of the Paxlovid, but weakness is a symptom of covid and in one so elderly, can be exacerbated.

He is an old man, desperately trying to prove, since the debates, that he is not. Pushing himself like that caught up to him. He can't do it.

People age differently and sadly, for him, he has not aged well.

Examples: Fauci the 🪳 is older than Biden, but is physically and mentally decades younger.

Geraldo Rivera, who I heard briefly the other day...I could not believe when my husband told me that he is 81!

He could have passed for 30 years younger in sharpness!!

In trying to be compassionate, despite Biden being a horrible person and leader, I will say that

he waited his entire career for this.

He should be grateful to God, that he got 4 years of it (much to our detriment, but that is another story) .

On the other hand, his delusions and stubbornness are good for Trump and therefore, for the country!

Not saying I think he IS using these particular politicians, but he CAN, and my faith in God’s purpose and plan allows me to have peace when it looks like the devils (and the Devil) are going to be triumphant.

After some trouble with the neighbors, and an onery dog, she always had one in her pocket.

Trump supporters are so far ahead of the curve it’s almost surreal. We have known the importance of this moment in time and Trump’s role in it for years. His purpose has never been understated in our eyes. Slowly but surely the rest of America - and the world - is waking up to this fact. And to those who continue to stick their head in the sand with TDS? I feel genuinely sorry for them. I can’t imagine missing out on such a momentous movement.

To me it seems like a revolt to the lifetime politicians who make a career out of sucking tax payer money. These 40 year politicians have to go.

And why do we allow family and spouses of prior presidents to run? No more Bush, Clinton, or Trumps need to be in office. It creates a monarchy of sorts and embeds corruption in these families. Two terms max per family. Period.

Agree. Like a country of this size can’t find anyone else competent enough to fill those positions?

I wish I had your optimism. JD Vance considers Peter Thiel his ā€œmentor,ā€ and Trump wants to put Jamie Dimon as Secretary of the Treasury.

Yep, Vance is deep in the pockets of Thiel, who is the epitome of all things anti-freedom, but again, just another inconvenient fact the Trump die-hards are willing to blindly ignore.

I hadn't heard that about Dimon.....disgusting, a serial criminal, but I guess that is par for course.

Ugh! Really?!!! Dimon and Thiel have Epstein connections and not the "6 degrees to Kevin Bacon" type of connections. Redacted has Whitney on today so should be interesting what she has to say.

Vance was not known in Ohio and came out of nowhere like Obama, Vivek, and Mayor Pete...all products of you know what.

I am even more concerned as the media is having a lovefest right now on Vance and his wife. Usually, they would be pulling out the closet skeletons like he cut in line in kindergarten.

I don’t feel sorry for them; they anger me. I, do however, pray for them.

And I genuinely feel sorry for people who aren't living in reality - they can't face the fact that Trump made a ton of horrible decisions - to lock down the country, to go along with the plandemic, pushing of the disastrous clot shots, assassinating Solemani, bootlicking of the Zionist Israeli gov, pulling out of nuclear arms treaties, adding $8 TRILLION to the nations debt....

I could go on, but you know, I just have TDS and clearly don't understand the twenty dimensional chess your hero is playing. And no, I clearly don't understand how one drains the swamp by appointing and surrounding himself with swamp creatures like Pompeo, Bolton, big pharma, etc.....but I'm just a dummy with TDS so I will never get it, right?

Thank you. Keep ignoring the reality in front of your face. Oh, and don't forget Trump was also buddies with Epstein. But hey, he is God's chosen one!

Who thinks He’s ā€œGod’s chosen oneā€ā€¦ The Bible says God is in control. No one is in power that God cannot use for His perfect will. Just because it doesn’t look the way we want it to, does not mean God doesn’t know & have a better plan than us. His priority (as ours should be) is to bring as many people to Him as possible. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it’s ugly, often we don’t understand. In the end God’s in control and He wins šŸ™Œ

Epstein and Maxwell did their best to get Trump and if you can find more than photo bombs in one of his hotels at an event or two, or that he rode on the plane from FL to NY (not the island) one time, or that he tossed Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for hitting on a young woman staff member, or that he cooperated in court cases with Epstein victims, please give us the scoop.

And never mind all the creepy crap he's said about Ivanka. Totally normal!

And yes I know, Biden showers with his daughter, so he's worse! They are all scum bags.

it has been said somewhere by someone that using the same tactics to combat the same problem is a fools errand - But - we have to start somewhere using that which is reasonably available to do so. If we recognize the major problem, using minor responses is that start. The power and responsibility is ours. You have pointed out the problems, any ideas on the solutions? ( other than feelin sorry for us?)
