Ain’t that the truth! Thank you Colleen F. http://pathwhisperer.wordpress.com/2008/11/15/october-and-november-items-with-that-sociopathic-flavor/#comment-2535
And they think we are so stupid for our blindness (I have personally heard this from sociopaths).
Think what crimes, what predations they can carry out, hiding in plain sight.
Per Herve Cleckley, per Joe Mcginniss:
Recall here the words of Herve Cleckley, which I encountered for the first time in the fall of 1980: “Only very slowly and by a complex estimation or judgment based on multitudinous small impressions does the conviction come upon us [in regard to the psychopath] that, despite these intact rational processes, these normal emotional affirmations and their consistent application in all directions, we are dealing … not with a complete man at all but with something that suggests a subtly constructed reflex machine which can mimic the human personality perfectly.” [Mask of Sanity, p. 369]
It took me a long time to accept that MacDonald could be the charming and apparently caring man I’d come to know (or thought I did) during the summer of 1979, and, at the same time be what the psychiatrist Otto Kernberg has described as “an enraged empty self—the hungry wolf out to kill, eat and survive.”
Here are the searches I’ve been found by. I find it interesting what people search for regarding sociopathy, perhaps it will interest others. By far the most interest are in the spectacular criminal sociopaths such as Rodney Alcala, Michael Swango, Stacey Castor, etc. Perhaps because they appear so human, but their behavior is so alien. I don’t know for sure, however, these visitors don’t usually ask questions. I’m always happy to expand a post by spelling out “flags of possible sociopathy” if commenters wish me to.
It’s also apparent that many people are in court with sociopaths. Also quite a few are dealing with being blackmailed.
One area I’m surprised by is the number of searches regarding pseudologia fantastica. I believe these people are rare, as opposed to sociopaths — at any rate I’ve only known two (that I know of) while I’ve known tens of sociopaths (as have all middle-aged readers of these words).

To the superiors of Commander Smoked Glasses:
Call off your dogs. You should know that Smoked Glasses is on several video cameras as is also the cute blond with the throat mike. You should also know that he is using two inside individuals who know me personally, one a sociopath, a hundred times more arrogant than intelligent, and the second a weak artistic type amateur. These two clowns couldn’t pick up a quarter off the sidewalk without telegraphing to the world what they were doing. They are the only reason I know the operation is still going on.
The amateur is the weak link. I have sent more detailed paper versions of this message around in case of any eventuality.
From the Obviously-Just-A-Coincidence department: the very same day this posted, my cell phone memory was erased and a password was required for access, just a coincidence I’m sure. OH, NOES! What about my hard evidence this isn’t my imagination? Not to worry, not to worry.
Absolutely.
All narcissists are delusional. They have a delusional view of themselves and a pathological self involvement. Sociopaths will mirror this delusion (manipulating the emotionally mentally ill is one of their highest skills) and they will make the narcissist feel the self involvement is normal.
Narcissism is actually a confusing term, there are at least three pathological types that I know of: garden variety, malignant and rigid. Rigid is the one I am most familiar with — the narcissism of Scott Peck’s People of the Lie, aka, the perfect, the mentally ill evil. They have zero consideration for anyone else, their whole psychic universe is organized around protecting their perfectness. This is why they give up the lived life, they gain total perfection.
The rest of us go through life with daggers of defeats, failures and regrets attached to our backs that tweak us now and then, because we have consciences. Narcissists know none of this, never having made a mistake in their lives, leading a life absolutely without error (as long as they can maintain the fiction). But the maintenance of this false world is exhausting, turning to sociopaths for enabling must be such a relief.
They are so lacking in empathy that they are often mistaken for sociopaths themselves, I term them one of the faux sociopathic states. Joining with a sociopath mirrors their vast selfishness and disregard of others. They often pair off with sociopaths to form an evil couple.
Furthermore, there is a phenomenon known as narcissistic catastrophe (at least for the malignant and rigid types). The catastrophe occurs when the edifice of the false self is overwhelmed by reality, when the betrayal of their own soul is overwhelmed by their own soul needs. At that point they are lost at sea, unable to recognize friend from foe, in personality meltdown, they probably feel they don’t even know themselves — permanent psychotic dissociation is an extreme danger.
At this point they need protection both from themselves and from sociopaths (for whom they are now like an artist’s palette). I actually knew a rigidly narcissistic therapist to throw such a client to sociopathic manipulators. Narcissism is that evil, almost like a personality virus that won’t allow anyone under their influence (even their own child or client) to escape narcissism to live a lived life, a soul life.
[UPDATE: Oops. Weiner has just (6/6 afternoon) confessed to multiple online sexting relationships. Sometimes the simplest explanation turns out to be true. Good thing I didn't bet money. . . . Just the good name of this blog.
This post had hundreds of visitors just today, hopefully some will come back anyway. PW]
Could be.
Just as there are plausible lies there are also implausible truths (credit to the forgotten source).
Framed with his own picture? He said that he couldn’t “say with certitude” that the picture is not of him. That means it is his picture of course. But did he send it to a young coed? Of course not.
Sociopaths simply love double bind harassments (this is first hand knowledge, I have had sociopaths brag to me of their harassment strategies). What is he going to do? Deny and be considered crazy or say he’s guilty and beg forgiveness? Either might destroy his political future. Just on the photo he’s in a bind, confirm or deny that the photo is of him? What to do?
I’m only partially his fan. I might or might not vote for him in a mayoral primary, but I would definitely vote for him in a general election. Now he will probably never run for mayor. This is a serious hit.
Of course it could have been worse, they could have mixed his DNA with a hotel maid’s saliva. I’m not saying this is what happened to DSK, I have no idea what the truth is there. But we do know, from Wikileaks, that the U.S. government desires samples of foreign dignitaries’ and leaders’ DNA as well as passwords (U.S. Chases Foreign Leaders’ DNA, WikiLeaks Shows). I would be stunned if they didn’t do the same thing stateside.
Which brings us to my main disagreement with Mr. Weiner. He is a very strong supporter of the Antfarm World, of Patriot Act/Homeland Security/TSA surveillance actions. I imagine he supported the authorities’ ability to download photos and other data from smart phones remotely “on the fly” — Michigan: Police Search Cell Phones During Traffic Stops. Anything authorities have the technology to do imaginative hackers can also do. There’s nothing technologically impossible about his photo being plucked from the ether and being used in a frame up with his own twitter account, it would be easy for the knowledgeable.
A final aspect of sociopathic modality is that built in play on words. “Is that Weiner’s weiner? Ha, ha, ha, ha . . . bwa, ha, ha, ha, ha, [etc.]“ For those who have been paying attention this is of course called sociopathic arrested development. Sociopaths are such predictable little dickheads, ya just gotta love ‘em.
Of course we chuckle also. We went through, as children, a bodily organ/function humor/fascination phase and it’s permanently incorporated into our psyches. But sociopaths are stuck there and will never progress.
So what should Anthony Weiner do? State the absolute truth, expose the depth of the fraud and let the chips land where they may. It might save his career and would definitely pull that light chain on the truth for many.
First let me note that “nonhuman human” is not a phrase I use lightly or would apply to all psychopaths. However it certainly applies to psychopathic murderers of their own families.
Emily Bazelon:
Two decades ago, Janet Malcolm published “The Journalist and the Murderer,” her classic story of the story of a murder trial. Her subject was the relationship between the writer Joe McGinniss and the Army doctor Jeffrey MacDonald, who gave McGinniss full access to his defense team when he stood trial for the death of his wife and children — and then discovered that over years of apparent friendship, McGinniss was writing a future best seller portraying MacDonald as a psychopathic killer. In her brilliant dissection of this betrayal, Malcolm exposed the “morally indefensible” nature of the work of her journalistic tribe. http://franciscovazbrasil.blogspot.com/2011/05/janet-malcolms-cross-examinations-by.html
This is total nonsense, Jeffrey MacDonald was seeking to play, use, manipulate (user whatever word you want) the author Joe McGinniss. He was propelled by his psychopathic level arrogance and optimism (a mentally ill level of optimism is a flag of psychopathy, see Ronald Reagan). Joe McGinniss owed him nothing.
I’m afraid these Silly Sallies don’t appreciate the reality of the situation. I can only conclude that they (together or separately) are murderer groupies (these are the women who show up at murder trials, write letters to serial killers, etc. propelled by a psychotic unwillingness to accept reality, all males for them are ‘tall, strong and gentle, just like Dad’ — the truth is too threatening to their world), or devotees of a particular psychopath (cultlike followers and true believers taken in by a psychopath), or children of a psychopathic father (who never meet a psychopath they don’t love), or psychopaths themselves (who can’t stand to see a psychopath taken down by non-psychopaths).
Joe McGinniss:

http://www.joemcginniss.net/journalism-on-trial-my-letter-to-new-york-times-book-review/Joe%20McGinniss
In 1989, the New Yorker published a two-part article by Janet Malcolm entitled “The Journalist and the Murderer.”
In the article, which was published in book form a year later, Malcolm offered her skewed perception of my relationship with Jeffrey MacDonald–the subject of my 1983 book, Fatal Vision–to support her bizarre hypothesis that “Every journalist…knows that what he does is morally indefensible.” So numerous and egregious were Malcolm’s omissions, distortions and outright misstatements of fact that I felt compelled to set the record straight in an epilogue to the updated edition of Fatal Vision that was published in 1989.
There is no statute of limitations on truth. Even now, twenty-two years later, Malcolm’s fictions ought not to be accepted uncritically. I reprint my 1989 response to her here.
