Time to Test Corporate Leaders to Weed out Psychopaths

Vatic Note:  Have you noticed how these types of articles are always pushing you away from the "root" or "core" of the problem?  In protocol 15, it discusses that when ever the goyim get to close to the truth, its time to blame whatever is happening on their goyim puppets they use and pay to do their dirty work.  This below is a classic example.   This entire article is blaming the corporate executives as if they were the core and root problem, when in fact its not the case at all.  They are hired as psychos by other psychos, who are the real controllers, because the hirees are psychos.  Example is Rothschild hires Soros.  They are both  psychos, but if Soros was a goyim, Rothschild would sell him out in a heart beat.   I just have a question for this professor who did the study?  Who owns shores in these corporations?  Who are the boards of Directors that hire these psychos?  Right,  Khazar psychos.  So this testing he recommends is fruitless since most psychos can pass such a test due to their study of human "behavior and speech" in order to pass as human.  I have a better idea.  Like Iceland purge them from this nation and never let them back in or their pedophiled offspring.

The 13 families are not sane.  John Lennon makes that very clear in the previous blog we did.  He says they are "Maniacal" in both purpose and method, which is why you can tell they are insane.   Then this so called professor who did this pathetic study also minimizes the damage psychopaths can do when up again populations with conscience.   They have none so they have NO RESTRICTIONS on their behavior as we saw with the Sandusky scandal with the pimping out of children to donors or the Franklin CU or now we find the Hollywood Producers and controllers are engaged in the same thing, all in he name of Satan.   Evidence over the past 10 years on the face of it counters what this professor below tries to tell us which is these are not dangerous people,  YES THEY ARE, they have stolen trillions of dollars of wealth, destroyed whole countries and cultures, pedophiled hundreds if not thousands of small children and murdered millions of people already in bogus wars for power and greed, and they are not finished yet.  They have only just begun and soon will start WW III that will kill millions more of the people and he is trying to say they are not dangerous????  Or insane???  WRONG.  Either this professor is also insane or he is one of them.  Read it and you decide.  Remember, these psychos now own most international giant corporations including the psycho Queen of England and her "passing-gas psycho husband, the Racist Phillip".  Ownership includes military industrial corporations, GE, Uranium mines and mining companies, food companies including shares in Monsanto, etc. and they sit on those boards that hire these thugs.

Shark-like, they rise fast but risk killing the world economy, concludes a business professor.


Given the state of the global economy, it might not surprise you to learn that psychopaths may be controlling the world. Not violent criminals, (VN:  Huh?  Tell that to the millions they have killed over the past 10 years, hello??)  but corporate psychopaths who nonetheless have a genetically-inherited biochemical condition that prevents them from feeling normal human empathy.

Scientific research is revealing that 21st century financial institutions with a high rate of turnover and expanding global power have become highly attractive to psychopathic individuals to enrich themselves at the expense of others, and the companies they work for.

A peer-reviewed theoretical paper from 2011 titled "The Corporate Psychopaths Theory of the Global Financial Crisis" details how highly-placed psychopaths in the banking sector may have nearly brought down the world economy through their own inherent inability to care about the consequences of their actions.

The author of this paper, Clive Boddy, previously of Nottingham Trent University, believes this theory would go a long way to explain how senior managers acted in ways that were disastrous for the institutions they worked for, the investors they represented and the global economy at large.

If true, this also means the astronomically expensive public bailouts will not solve the problem since many of the morally impaired individuals who caused this mess likely remain in positions of power. Worse, they may be the same people advising governments on how to resolve this crisis.

To tackle this problem, we must instead examine this rare and curious condition, and why recent corporate history may have elevated precisely the wrong type of people to positions of great power and public trust.
Unfeeling, but not insane.

Psychopathy should not be confused with insanity. (VN:  Well its definitely a mental illness, that is for sure and dangerous as all get out to darn near everyone who has a conscience.  Its like trying to fight a war with a feather while the other guy has a loaded functioning gun.) It is best described by Robert Hare, global expert and psychologist, as "emotional deafness" -- a biochemical inability to experience normal feelings of empathy for others.  (VN:  Sounds like he is a Harvard graduate, secret societies ring a bell? "oh, psychopathy isn't so bad after all".... yeah right. )  

This shark-like fixation on self-interest means that psychopaths often feel a clear detachment from other people, viewing them more as sheep to be preyed upon than fellow humans to relate to. For instance, psychopaths in prison often use group therapy sessions not as a healing process, but as an opportunity to learn how to simulate normal human emotions.

Studies on twins have revealed that psychopathy shows a strong genetic signature and there remains no effective treatment.  Recent research has linked the condition to physical abnormalities in the amygdala region of the brain.  (VN:  Its also from a lack of soul, they are spiritual "Zombies").

Only a small subset of psychopaths become the violent criminals so often fictionalized in film.  (VN:  Tell that to JFK,  JFK Jr,  Wellstone, Carnahan, etc etc etc.  Seems to me the CIA, Mossad, MI6 and other British created Intel services are far from a small subset, but that is my opinion only.)   Most simply seek to blend in (VN:  eyes rolling upward)  and conceal their differences in order to more effectively manipulate others. This frightening condition has existed throughout human history, though likely in a marginal and socially parasitic way.

While psychopaths are often portrayed by Hollywood as brilliantly clever, a hypothetical race of Hannibal Lecters would likely perish since they lack the ability to trust each other. (VN:  No they don't,  they understand greed and avarice and how to buy safety with both a carrot,  wealth, and stick "threats".  Remember there is only one thing a psychopath cares about..... his own wellbeing and that can be secured by doing what he is told and he knows it.)  Put another way, the human race -- a relatively weak, slow, hairless tropical primate -- has succeeded so spectacularly in every ecosystem on the planet not because we are so bad, but because we are so good.

Most dangerous one per cent
The human ability to build social capital means that people can co-operate and trust each other. We can reliably predict the behaviour of others even if we have never met them. Social capital is the glue that holds together our communities, complex societies, large institutions and the economy. The one and only superpower possessed by psychopaths is their ruthless ability to spend the social capital created by others.

Scientists believe about one per cent of the general population is psychopathic, meaning there are more than three million moral monsters amongst normal United States citizens.  (VN:  Actually, its more like 4% and as noted by an author, that is considered or would be considered an "epidemic" if that had been tuberculosis that is at 4% of the population.  I am noticing now nice this author is being to who these psychos work for). There is emerging evidence that this frequency increases within the upper management of modern corporations. This is not surprising since personal ruthlessness and fixation on personal power have become seen as strong assets to large publicly traded corporations (which some authors believe have also become psychopathic).

However, appearance and performance are two different things. While psychopaths are often outwardly charming and excellent self-promoters, they are also typically terrible managers, bullying co-workers and creating chaos to conceal their behaviour.

When employed in senior levels, their pathology also means they are biochemically incapable of something they are legally required to do: act in good faith on behalf of other people. The banking and corporate sector is built on the ancient principle of fiduciary duty -- a legal obligation to act in the best interest of those whose money or property you are entrusted with. Asking a psychopath to do that is like recruiting a pyromaniac to be a firefighter.

The folly of mixing psychopathy and senior corporate management has been borne out by recent history. At the end of the last decade, numerous banking institutions representing hundreds of years of corporate financial stability ceased to exist within a few short months due to the reckless acts of a few individuals -- none of whom have ever been charged with a crime.  And therein lies the rub. As ruthless as psychopaths are, their pathology dictates that they will ultimately act to the detriment of the organizations and investors they are paid so well to represent.

Fertile for pyschopaths: New corporate culture
If this theory is correct, how did this become such a crisis in recent decades? Boddy suggests that corporations have changed from relatively stable institutions where psychopaths would have a difficult time concealing themselves, to highly fluid organizations where it is much easier for them to disappear within the chaos in their wake.

"(The) whole corporate and employment environment changed from one that would hold the Corporate Psychopath in check to one where they could flourish and advance relatively unopposed," Boddy writes. "As evidence of this, senior level remuneration and reward started to increase more and more rapidly and beyond all proportion to shop floor incomes and a culture of greed unfettered by conscience developed.

Corporate Psychopaths are ideally situated to prey on such an environment and corporate fraud, financial misrepresentation, greed and misbehaviour went through the roof, bringing down huge companies and culminating in the Global Financial Crisis that we are now in.  (VN:  The psychopaths are those that hired the psychopaths that carried out the "planned" demise of our nation, in order to achieve their One World Order that has been on the books for over 100 years now.  That is why all those huge bonuses, since they did as they were instructed to do.   Frankly if you want to see who the real psychos are, just read the protocols that are now becoming our reality).

"Boddy is not hopeful that the current round of expensive public bailouts will solve the problem. If psychopaths have in fact installed themselves in the upper reaches of the world's financial institutions, their genetic deficiency dictates that their greed knows no bounds. They will continue to act in antisocial, remorseless ways, amplified by their enormous corporate influence until the institutions they represent and perhaps the entire global economy collapses. Obviously, more academic research in this area is urgently needed.

Boddy concludes his recent paper with this grim prediction:

"Writing in 2005, this author... predicted that the rise of Corporate Psychopaths was a recipe for corporate and societal disaster. This disaster has now happened and is still happening. Across the western world, the symptoms of the financial crisis are now being treated.

However, this treatment of the symptoms will have little effect because the root cause is not being addressed. The very same Corporate Psychopaths, who probably caused the crisis by their self-seeking greed and avarice, are now advising governments on how to get out of the crisis. That this involves paying themselves vast bonuses in the midst of financial hardship for many millions of others is symptomatic of the problem.

Further, if (this theory is correct) then we are now far from the end of the crisis. Indeed, it is only the end of the beginning. Perhaps more than ever before, the world needs corporate leaders with a conscience.... Measures exist to identify Corporate Psychopaths. Perhaps it is time to use them."

Time has come for testing
Boddy's last statement contains a kernel of hope. If our world has become chaotic due to institutionalized psychopathy, imagine how much better it could be if such dangerously impaired individuals were excluded from positions of power and influence. Precedence exists for dealing with such situations. Randomized workplace drug testing became the norm in the 1980s.

At the time, civil libertarians strongly objected on the basis that it violated personal privacy protections. However, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in 1989 that such testing was constitutional and now about 25 per cent of Fortune 500 companies routinely require their employees to submit to such tests.

Perhaps investors at major financial institutions should require that senior level managers submit to established tests to ensure they are not psychopathic. This is not an issue of civil liberties since the precedent has already been well established regarding drug impairment in the workplace. Likewise, it is not a regulatory issue since private shareholders have every right to demand that executives demonstrate they are not biochemically impaired and therefore unable to carry out their fiduciary duties on behalf of investors. If corporate boards are hiring psychopaths as executive management, they are not carrying out their due diligence and could be held legally liable for their oversight.

Companies should also consider providing employees with specific whistleblower provisions to expose potential psychopaths in the workplace. A 2010 study by Boddy showed that corporate psychopaths caused more than one quarter of all workplace bullying, though they accounted for only one per cent of the workforce.

Besides being traumatic and humiliating to other workers, this bullying is also very expensive. Boddy calculated that bullying by corporate psychopaths cost companies in the U.K. more than £3.5 billion per year in lost productivity and attrition. Extrapolating these results to the United States, these deviant individuals are responsible for more than $35 billion in direct annual losses to U.S. businesses.

Politicians, too?

And what about elected officials? There is no higher standard of trust in our society than standing for public office. Campaigning politicians are expected to submit to almost absurd levels of scrutiny about their private lives, character and personal relationships. Should not candidates begin providing voters proof that they are medically capable of acting in the interests of the public that may elect them?

The Occupy Wall Street protesters demanding an end to the reign of the "one per cent" may have unwittingly stumbled on the crux of the issue. Science tells us that 99 per cent of humans have normal emotional function. One per cent are psychopaths. We ignore that truth at our peril.
