“I have been tortured and harassed through the legal system for the last 9 years by a sociopath who is relentless and determined.  This sociopath has no fear and is so crooked that it is astounding that all of his behaviors and patterns have allowed him to continue his onslaught without the focus turning on him where it truly belongs.  Any advice?”

I just saw this email.  Advice?  This whole blog is advice.  Specifically, document everything.  Prove lies, if at all possible.  It’s truly astounding that witnesses, including non-sociopathic judicial system employees, mis-translate outrageous sociopathic misbehavior into understandable, to them, pablum.  There seems to be a need for normals to deny the possibility of sociopaths that can fool them.  They refuse to give up the fairy tale that we are all brothers and sisters under the skin.

I wish I could give more useful advice, but keep up the morale and keep up the fight.

Open message to FTI Consulting, I am offering my services, for $50,000, to create a dossier on Dov Charney’s psychopathic behaviors and consistencies, supporting the proposition that he is in fact a psychopath.

Psychopaths have no need of privacy, like little children playing with their privates in front of the guests.  This trait, primitive, undeveloped sexuality with privacy unnecessary, is simply an aspect of the devastating arrested development of psychopaths, the primary psychopathic throughline.

Part of you doesn’t accept that he is a sociopath (if he is) and/or wants to still believe the fantasies he mirrored for you.   Recognizing sociopaths is not an exercise of the mind, but a soul deep emotional realization that the person presented doesn’t exist and never could.

What a great phrase.

The subtleness depends on the psychopath’s position on the failed psychopath/SAP (socially adept psychopath) continuum.  A SAP can restrain their arrogance with reference to their position, and their knowledge of their position, on the ‘foodchain’, a failed (imprisoned/out of control) psychopath can’t.  But it is a major, major psychopathic throughline, one that even those who aren’t aware of psychopaths notice, they just don’t know what it is that they are noticing.  https://pathwhisperer.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/sociopathic-through-lines/

The arrogance can be very subtle.  A psychopath online that I read occasionally once wrote that he would never consume xylitol since it kills dogs and it seems to him that dogs and humans aren’t that different in bodily biological systems.  The similarity is of course true.  The arrogance is that somehow he has superior insight to the food scientists involved in producing and selling xylitol to the public.  Also note the subtle paranoia, which is another throughline.

Well not exactly gratis, I would request the freedom to publish the results of the brain scans, plus publishing a detailed study of select individuals (some of whom I already have in mind) including their brain scans, DNA sequences and facial images.

I think the study need be done only on whiteshirts and other rank-holding officers, due to the sheer numbers in the force. Though already of interest blue shirts should be considered. Basically however, psychopathic blueshirts will take their cue from what they observe. This is what lower level psychopaths have always done, they always know their place on the food chain (or speedily end up in jail).

Over the Bloomberg/Kelly years there were high profile news stories of rapes by psychopathic police officers. These officers simply interpreted the license given by the out of control and obviously unconstitutional (opinions of judges and lawyers not needed) stop-and-frisk policies as creating an open air prison. This led blueshirts who were psychopathic to feel they had the power to do whatever they wanted. They seemed to feel they were above the law (http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/rapist-ex-nypd-asks-shorten-75-year-prison-term-article-1.1610805). Obviously this was not intended by Bloomberg and Kelly. But give psychopaths an inch, they’ll take a mile, every time.

I’m often found by such searches as “do psychopaths run in gangs.” Absolutely they do. You see it in every walk of life, including police forces. You see it in courts with psychopathic jurors siding with psychopathic defendants or collusion among psychopathic prosecuting attorneys, defense attorneys and judges to tilt the scales in favor of the psychopathic party (the Carl Andre and Lynn de Vecchio cases come to mind as possibilities, the Michael Pena jury above, the brass that pushed for Michael Oliver keeping his pension). The point of this paragraph is that concentrating on the white shirts should have a ripple effect upon the entire police force, making that smaller search sufficient. If desired of course I could handle the entire force, if paid.

From when I had hair

I wish to state that I am not anti-police officer. I appreciate serious policing, both large and small, as much as anyone else. I will be forever grateful to a couple of anonymous officers who saved me and an associate from an almost certain violent mugging. I was having some shots taken for acting purposes. The photographer wanted to catch the soft late afternoon light with the East River in the background. Leaving the waterside park by a ramp to street level, we noticed a group of approaching hard eyed thirty-somethings silently communicating with a similar group behind us. Suddenly their predator like concentration ceased and their eyes focused far out in the field behind us, where a police blue and white was sitting. I have no doubt that the officers recognized exactly what was about to happen and were acting to prevent it. Without their presence we would had to have simultaneously acted completely oblivious about the situation and gotten through the advancing pincer using whatever force was necessary before the rear pincer closed on us. Once they both had we would almost certainly have been overpowered and ended up rolling on the ground in pain or knocked out. The photographer would have lost thousands of dollars of camera equipment and I would have lost a few thousand dollars of borrowed clothes and whatever money we had.

On the other side, I have sometimes bought and sold musical instruments, sometimes from trunks of cars and sometimes in toney neighborhoods. Occasionally residents called the police to have us checked out. If a cruiser came by slowly we’d step back to give a good view and wave or nod to the officer, who’d nod back. No problem.

I’m an activist but throwing molotov cocktails at law enforcement personnel (or anyone else obviously) as happened in the Ukraine recently is simply murder or attempted murder, absolutely criminal.

Finally I’m grateful to a local detective who gave me the phone number and name in connection with a harassing calls complaint. I spoke to the individual, he claimed that he had made the calls in trying to fax material to a local newspaper. I don’t believe that was the situation. I am sure that the calls came from an ex of mine. For years she’d call me up with fax polling calls, both at home and at work. She also always knew where I worked and what shift. This detective helped on a couple related phone harassments. I also asked him if the precinct was investigating me for some reason (as opposed to my ex harassing me through her cop friends and their police powers). He said no.

This introduces my personal log in this fire. Some years ago a psychopathic officer stopped his car to ask me some question he clearly didn’t care about, around 2 or 3 in the morning. I was in the habit of walking home from the World Financial Center after midnight, some 8 miles or so, a few times a week – I had a lot to think about, I had gone through a rough breakup and my ex had been ‘befriended’ by a group of psychopathic police officers. It seemed this was his way of letting me know he was one of them. Somehow I immediately recognized him as both a cop and a psychopath (probably by his arrogance) and said, if I recall correctly, ‘you’re whorehouse is a block behind us and your precinct house’s about three blocks over’. I had seen unmarked police cars ferrying prostitutes back and forth some four, five times. Every precinct has both a brothel and a station house (http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/jaynie-mae-baker-plead-guilty-soccer-mom-madam-case-sources-article-1.1136172, https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/jaynie-mae-baker-plead-guilty-soccer-mom-madam-case-sources-article-1.1136172). There are both bad apple cops and bad apple precincts.

Years later this same officer, by then a white shirt I believe, was parked outside my building for a couple hours with this ex, on the night of my birthday. They obviously knew my schedule, as they were waiting for me when I got home from work around 1 am.  They must have worried that I might flip out, because they had a blue and white Explorer parked at a nearby fire hydrant, it’s interior lights on, the three officers looking totally miserable.

What they were doing for a couple hours right outside my building on my birthday I don’t know. But I would like to know if there was soundtrack playing and exactly what it was and exactly how they got it.

Shortly after our breakup, this ex had approached me in the local post office and apologized for her behavior, saying that sometimes “she got maniacal.” This was putting it mildly, as far as I was concerned it was as though she had been taken over by aliens. I no longer even recognized the person looking out of her eyes. I had never experienced anything like it. Suddenly it was ‘who are you and why are you bothering me?’ from someone whom I could no longer recognize, who I thought I knew as well as the back of my hand.

Lost in Space’s Will Robinson to his father who, having been taken over by an alien, was about to throw Will to his death, ‘Dad, it’s me Will. Your son. You just gotta remember, you just gotta remember.’

Dorothy O. Lewis, from M. Gladwell’s The New Yorker article, Crime and Science – DAMAGED (http://www.newyorker.com/archive/1997/02/24/1997_02_24_132_TNY_CARDS_000377330): “Lewis recalls, “I was testifying, and I looked down at the defense table and David wasn’t there. You know, David is a sweetie. He has a softness and a lovable quality. Instead, seated in his place there was this glowering kind of character, and I interrupted myself. I said, ‘Excuse me, Your Honor, I just wanted to call to your attention that that is not David.’ Everyone just looked.” In the end, the judge vacated Wilson’s death sentence.” http://gladwell.com/damaged/

Narcissists live by the rule ‘baby feels no pain’, everybody else is expendable. Like psychopaths others can be written out of their lives as seemingly easily as turning a page.

Sadly that encounter in the post office was the last time I ever saw that person as I had known her. Though I do think she came forward occasionally. For a while she called my answering machine machine 15 to 20 times a day. It had to be her because after reporting this to the police it stopped immediately, obviously they had tipped her off. Also she’d make fax polling calls, for years, to both home and work numbers of mine (even through job and shift changes). A few times I received touch tone calls of SOS dots and dashes.

She was in therapy the whole time I knew her, three private sessions a week plus group therapy. She also said she had spent time in mental hospitals, though I never knew why. Her therapist (Nancy Becker, http://nancybeckertherapy.com/, https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/name/Nancy_Becker_LCSW_New+York_New+York_145736) should have hospitalized her at the point of her dissociation above (‘going maniacal’).  Also she once told me that there was a voice in the back of her head that was always belittling her and telling her that her hopes and aspirations would never work out — it seems this personality took over. Instead the therapist allowed psychopaths in group therapy to manipulate her and then pass her on to manipulating psychopaths in the local precinct. That psychopaths were allowed into group therapy with non-psychopaths is incompetent to the point of criminality (its like throwing piranhas in with goldfish), her clients should sue her for malpractice and she should lose he license.

Sadly, strangely, and, in fact, down right bizarrely this is not just ancient history. Not long ago, the therapist’s husband (Steven Cope, http://www.stevencope.com/, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/steven-cope-lcsw-new-york), himself a therapist, lunged his car (containing also his son) from a standing start to where I was crossing in the parking lane. If I had tripped it would have been murder, as I see and saw it at the time. I was just walking by and he floors the car from some twenty feet away, forcing me to leap or be killed (not being in his head I can not state as to certainty his intention, only my own experience and viewpoint, perhaps he never saw me, though I doubt it). As I made the sidewalk and spun towards the car I recognized him and saw his face frozen in fear and hate. I have no explanation whatsoever. I had not interacted with him in years and years (the last time I spoke to him would have been in 1993-94). Somehow it seems someone is scaring them in regards to myself, I suspect it’s the psychopathic white shirt mentioned above. Its called character assassination.  A tell of a psychopathic character assassination is that often the target is kept unaware of the substance of the calumny.  That way the target experiences an insidious hollowing out of the ground under their feet and cannot respond legally or any other way to slander and pathological lying.  If the target has to be kept from knowing the lies it is also of course probable that lying is going on, but somehow they get away with it.  (More: https://pathwhisperer.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/from-country-of-liars-character-assassination/.)

I’ve had no interactions with my ex either. I haven’t spoken to her since being in mediation with her, years and years and years ago. After her ‘sometimes I go maniacal’ I was distraught and went half crazy trying to figure out why an individual would chose narcissism (all non biological emotional disturbances are choices, though on a deep soul level). So when I ran into her I’d try to reach the non-maniac. They were extremely brief conversations, she’d quickly walk away, this took place maybe 4 or so times, totally unpredictably. I was very careful not to cross any line to harassment or stalking so there was no cause to take me to court.  Since it was rare and unpredictable they had to serve me the papers at home, they knew my schedule. I stopped trying to reach her after the mediation and, keeping a verbal promise in that session, I never spoke to her again. Actually I don’t believe I even know what she looks like anymore. It seems she had plastic surgery.

Years and years ago my wife and I were eating in a local restaurant. After we were seated I noticed my ex’s therapy group. I had met them all at a wedding of two of their members years earlier. I looked but I did not see my ex. But I did notice a leering psychopath who kept grinning at me. Later that night, around 3 or 4 am, two fax polling calls came in. When I traced the number it was my ex’s. I recall once having told her that I hoped she would never wake up in the middle of night saying ‘oh my god, what have I done.’

To my knowledge I hadn’t seen her for good amount of time since even before this dinner. I should have seen her 2-3 times a year coming and going from her nearby therapy, as I did in the past. However I have occasionally seen someone vaguely familiar staring at me, sometimes in the company of the same leering psychopath at the dinner. I did see unmarked police cars, it seems, regularly parked outside her therapist’s on the main thoroughfare of this area. I’ve walked by that street crossing hundreds of times over the years in the normal course of events.  I own a property south of it and live north of the street. I came to suspect these cars were the psycho captain’s or his crew’s (I don’t know his actual rank or name.  I’m sure I could pay a private detective to find that information.  However they would probably find that out, and freak out even more). I remember thinking, ‘Is this for real? So this means this is her therapy time?’ This brings up the question, how much taxpayer money, over the years, did he dedicate to ‘protecting’ her from absolutely nothing at all?

I would also sometimes see these same cars parked on my block, they seemed to know my schedule, or they would go slowly by if I were sitting at a sidewalk cafe, or follow me down the street about a block behind at walking pace. If I documented suspected harassment, fireworks could ensue. They seemed to take this as a hostile act, once auxiliary cops were posted on my corner for days and regular cops at the therapist’s corner (the building’s entrance is on a sidestreet that I rarely am on). They were all very hostile, a cop at the therapist’s corner actually unlatched his holster while glaring right at me.  This is insane.  Also I would never see the cars involved in the neighborhood again.

Years had gone by before that dinner. My life had gone on. I had gotten married and I married for love. First I had to fall out of love with my ex (though obviously she owns a piece of my soul). I finally had to accept that dissociation and narcissism were choices. And that I would never reach that person who’d send me the touch tone SOSs. This isn’t as weird as it sounds, narcissists are normal human beings with souls and soul de Continue Reading »

This search just found me.  Regarding psychopathic fathers, this happens all the time.  Being in arrested development, the dads view this as the equivalent of childhood sex games.  It varies from such games to full sexual relations.  The sons often gain a taste for such activity and maintain same sex affairs on the side of normal heterosexual life stories.

I strongly suspect this happened to Rudy Giuliani, it would explain many things.  I am absolutely certain that his father was a psychopath.  The children of psychopaths tend to have deeply humiliated personalities with similar humiliation patterns.  They are very easy to recognize, though they can sometimes be mistaken for psychopaths themselves.  I also recommend Wayne Barrett’s book, Rudy! (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/rudy-wayne-barrett/1004482941).

News items with that psychopathic flavor.  Most of these I will hardly comment on.  Feel free to ask me to elaborate on any psychopathic aspect if you wish.

Police:  Teen Tricked Oklahoma Walmart Managers Out Of Nearly $30,000

NORMAN, Okla. (CBS Houston) – A 17-year-old scammed 3 Oklahoma Walmart stores out of nearly $30,000, reports KFOR-TV.

At a Walmart in Moore, the teen “acted as if he was a general manager from another store,” says the police report. He told the managers he was doing an inventory before corporate higher ups came to inspect them after the holidays. http://houston.cbslocal.com/2014/02/08/police-teen-tricked-oklahoma-walmart-managers-out-of-nearly-30000/

Don’t think for a second that these managers were stupid.  Psychopaths are simply that good.

Hamptons Group Home Workers Allegedly Ran ‘Developmentally Disabled Fight Club’

. . . Kagan said one group home worker shot cell phone video while three others raucously laughed, as they encouraged two severely disabled men to fight.

“They encouraged them to strike each other – one knocking over the other in the wheelchair – and then rewarding them with praise,” Kagan said.

The disabled men – in their 50s but with the mental capacity of preschoolers – were residents of the Independent Group Home Living program in Hampton Bays.  http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/02/06/long-island-group-home-workers-allegedly-forced-developmentally-disabled-people-to-fight/

Psychopaths like to video their own crimes mostly because they aren’t self referential.  To truly enjoy their crimes they need feedback from outside.  Also of course, if it’s on video they get to enjoy the good times all over again.  They seem to really enjoy kicking dogs when they are down.  Perhaps only one of the perps is psychopathic, no need for all of them to be.  (It should be pointed out that these are only allegations at this point, the case might turn out to be not as strong as it currently appears.)

Federal Police Officer Accused Of Sending Nude Selfie To Woman Who Needed Help

. . . “Officer, did you send this … a naked picture of yourself?”

The picture is almost a full-length nude. He allegedly sent it to the woman’s cell phone.

“It’s shocking,” she said, “No one has ever sent me a nude selfie before. Let alone a police officer who I was going to him for help.”  http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/01/27/only-on-2-federal-police-officer-accused-of-sending-nude-selfie-to-woman-who-needed-help/

Some psychopaths are incredibly manipulative Don Juans that read every emotion, others just don’t get it.  Congressman Bob Packwood, ‘sometimes you hit a home run and you’re a hero, sometimes you strike out and you’re a zero.’

Her kids are with woman who killed her own children

Twenty years ago, Kristine Cushing shot and killed her two daughters in their sleep.

Cushing was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity, but her action 20 years ago has Trish Conlon fearing the safety of her two teenage sons today. Conlon is the ex-wife of former Marine fighter pilot Lt. Col. John P. Cushing Jr., who was married to Kristine Cushing when she killed their daughters — and who is remarried to her today.  http://www.today.com/id/43984225/ns/today-today_news/t/her-kids-are-woman-who-killed-her-own-children/#

An idiot is born every minute.  Now we know why the psychopath Kristine picked John in the first place.  Everyone involved in the original temporary insanity ruling should be evaluated as possible co-psychopaths (psychopaths do run in gangs (a frequent search that finds my blog) and do protect their own), including the judge, the prosecutor, the psychiatrists, etc.

The 5 Bad Boy Traits Nice Guys Should Adopt

1) Master The Art Of Indifference

2) Put Yourself First

3) Remember Asshole Humor

4. The Art Of Hanging Up

5) The Ability To Have Animalistic Sex

http://elitedaily.com/dating/gentlemen/5-bad-boy-traits-nice-guys-should-adopt/

The classic ‘bad boy’ is the psychopath.  Most of the traits listed above are excelled in by psychopaths.  In terms of sex, since there is no emotional element to the sex, they need to spice it up any way they can, friction gets boring real fast.  As emotional as a block of wood, their involvement with a lover is as deep as one with another block of wood.

Sperm donor shenanigans

Sperm Donor Who Fathered 14 Children Says He’s A Virgin and “Donorsexual”

Drummond: Fremont sperm donor in feds cross hairs

University investigates Utah clinic’s sperm mix-up

Sperm donor who has fathered 49 children arrested over sex assaults after complaints from women who wanted help to get pregnant

These couples and ladies should worry about psychopath DNA.

In Small Towns, Gossip Moves to the Web, and Turns Vicious

MOUNTAIN GROVE, Mo. — In the small towns nestled throughout the Ozarks, people like to say that everybody knows everybody’s business — and if they do not, they feel free to offer an educated guess.

. . .

But of late, more people in this hardscrabble town of 5,000 have shifted from sharing the latest news and rumors over eggs and coffee to the Mountain Grove Forum on a social media Web site called Topix, where they write and read startlingly negative posts, all cloaked in anonymity, about one another.

And in Dee’s Place, people are not happy. A waitress, Pheobe Best, said that the site had provoked fights and caused divorces. The diner’s owner, Jim Deverell, called Topix a “cesspool of character assassination.” And hearing the conversation, Shane James, the cook, wandered out of the kitchen tense with anger.

His wife, Jennifer, had been the target in a post titled “freak,” he said, which described the mother of two as, among other things, “a methed-out, doped-out whore with AIDS.” Not a word was true, Mr. and Ms. James said, but the consequences were real enough.

Friends and relatives stopped speaking to them. Trips to the grocery store brought a crushing barrage of knowing glances. She wept constantly and even considered suicide. Now, the couple has resolved to move.

I’ll never come back to this town again,” Ms. James said in an interview at the diner. “I just want to get the hell away from here.”

I sense a psychopath at the center of this web.

Today We Fight Back


https://thedaywefightback.org/

The NSA must go, or America is gone.  All psychopathic modality organizations/doctrines attract actual psychopaths like flies to honey.  The potential power inherent in the NSA’s mission and capabilities is far too great for ordinary human beings to control — human nature is too corrupt.  Psychopaths would take it even further to world enslavement.

Psychopaths would be delighted to farm the masses of humanity.  No one should ever think they wouldn’t.  Factory farming of animals is psychopathic, a psychopathic NSA would seek to factory farm humans.

Perhaps we now know the cause of so many inexplicable judicial rulings, jury verdicts (e.g., Aafia Siddiqui, Governor Don Siegelman, the Newburgh Four (https://pathwhisperer.wordpress.com/2010/10/22/psychopath-earns-his-keep-shahed-hussain-cons-jury-as-well-as-newburgh-mugs/), Lynne Stewart, etc.), U.S. Attorneys’ success rates, and legislative votes — NSA blackmail.  The NSA renders almost all civil institutions suspect.  A capability of power will always be translated into real power, that’s human nature and, even more, psychopathic nature.  Function always follows form, ALWAYS.  I had been wondering if somehow they had been packing the juries with psychopaths — that would be a junior partner to NSA blackmail of key individuals (including jury members (anyone who thinks they are too small for the NSA’s attention is foolish)) in bending verdicts.

One Achilles heel, is that while psychopaths, individuals with ‘authoritarian personality disorder’ and worms-who-side-with-power are all natural allies, the alliance would fall apart if the latter two became aware of the presence of actual psychopaths.  The last thing they would want would to be associated with ‘psychos’.  Something to keep in mind.

If interested, here are my other ‘antfarm world’ postshttps://pathwhisperer.wordpress.com/tag/antfarm-world/.

Of course they are.  The good professor is selling BS.

Professor learns he has the brain of a psychopath.  James Fallon is a neuroscientist who’s spent his career studying psychopaths, observing their character traits and examining their brains. One day by accident, he learned that his own brain scans matched patterns found in known psychopaths’ scans.”

I don’t buy this at all.  In my opinion, he always knew what he was.  There is probably no higher percentage of psychopaths in any group than in psychopathy researchers and experts.  Why wouldn’t they be interested in why they are the way they are?  When I became interested in the subject, I could find very few people interested in discussing it.  A few years later, I realized that almost all of my discussion partners were themselves psychopathic.

From July 9, 2010, https://pathwhisperer.wordpress.com/2010/07/09/what-the-heck-are-these-brain-structures-meaningful-or-not/.

“Fallon’s brain (on the right) has dark patches in the orbital cortex, the area just behind the eyes. This is the area that Fallon and other scientists say is involved with ethical behavior, moral decision-making and impulse control. The normal scan on the left is his son’s.”
“Fallon was prompted to study his brain after his mother, Jenny, told him his ancestry was full of alleged murderers.”

These photos are from “A Neuroscientist Uncovers a Dark Secret,”  by Barbara Hagerty.  Further quotes from the article:

The criminal brain has always held a fascination for James Fallon. For nearly 20 years, the neuroscientist at the University of California-Irvine has studied the brains of psychopaths. He studies the biological basis for behavior, and one of his specialties is to try to figure out how a killer’s brain differs from yours and mine.  . . .

After learning his violent family history, he examined the images and compared them with the brains of psychopaths. His wife’s scan was normal. His mother: normal. His siblings: normal. His children: normal.

“And I took a look at my own PET scan and saw something disturbing that I did not talk about,” he says.

What he didn’t want to reveal was that his orbital cortex looks inactive.

“If you look at the PET scan, I look just like one of those killers.”

This situation described is very interesting.  There is a whole series on NPR on the criminal brain, Inside the Criminal Brain, Can Genes and Brain Abnormalities Create Killers?, etc.  I caught part of Hagerty’s show on July 6.

The question for me isn’t the criminal brain or serial killer brain, the question is who is a sociopath and who is not.  Who can feel empathy, has a conscience, views other humans as fools to be manipulated for one’s own ends, pleasures and amusement, etc. and who cannot and doesn’t.  Most sociopaths are not serial killers, but many still leave a broad swath of emotional disaster behind them.  Clever sociopaths can rise to high levels in business and government, it’s a question of self control and skill at being hypocritical (at recognizing when it is safe to express the sociopathic hungers, that are always there) — but they still have no shared humanity and no chance of developing any, imo.  The rest of us are so many bugs on the windshield to them.  So are these brain structures relevant or not?

Fallon certainly doesn’t appear to be sociopathic — no sociopathic arrogance comes through the photos, he lacks the classic “hollow eyes,” he has a loving family, etc.  On the other hand, families rarely ever recognize a sociopathic family member.  He looks like such a lovable guy, it’s hard to imagine that he might be a sociopath.  Could he be wearing that persona as a cloak?

Undercover lays bare the deceit, betrayal and cold-blooded violation practised again and again by undercover police officers – troubling, timely and brilliantly executed.’ Henry Porter   . . .

The testimony of person after person who was taken in, deceived, gulled, who knew the officers for years – who thought of them as best friends, or lovers, or life partners, or the father of their children, who had no inkling that they were part of an elaborate state-sponsored spy-ring that intruded on the most intimate parts of their lives.’ (Carole Cadwalladr, Observer)

What set the SDS apart was their core tactic: living the life of a protester. SDS operatives gave up their warrant cards (their police identity), changed their names, grew their hair, changed their appearances and sought to establish personal relationships with their targets. While many of us might accept that some level of subterfuge is necessary where the policing of very serious criminal activity is concerned, there is little in the Guardian journalists’ account of their activities to strike readers as even close to acceptable.

The nature and consequences of the deceptions perpetrated are truly frightening. Indeed, theSDS’s informal motto –- “By Any Means Necessary” -– seems all too close to the truth. Staggeringly, it seems to have been tacitly understood that undercover officers (usually male) should target female protesters and form close personal relationships with them. These relationships were by no means casual, in many cases becoming sufficiently serious and long-standing for the officer effectively to become the partner of the person concerned. As such, these were no ordinary betrayals; they were, as one of the women pithily put it, “about a fictional character who was created by the state and funded by taxpayers’ money”. Worse still, and at their most extreme, these relationships led to children being born.

The officers not only deceived the women they formed relationships with, but also went as far as to father children that they knew they would have to abandon when, eventually, they were required to return to other duties. In many cases there were two sets of women (and their children) being deceived at the same time: the activist and the agent’s existing wife or partner. Can anyone in the police service seriously have thought this was justifiable?  . . .

The human cost, too, was enormous, primarily falling on the women and children who found themselves caught up in these deceptions. But many officers paid a significant price too. Quite a number appear to have experienced significant mental health problems as a result of attempting to live two separate, but very different lives over many years.

Where were the civilian authorities?  Where were the politician bosses?  This is rape but beyond rape, mind rape but beyond mind rape, it’s life rape.   The women thought they had found partners, husbands, children — they thought they had found a life.  This kind of betrayal, deceit is acceptable in a democracy, in a country of laws?

Of course, the non-psychopathic officers destroyed themselves psychologically.  There is no way they could handle that kind of guilt.  But why obey?

When it is said that psychopaths are conscienceless and guiltless I hope this isn’t taken as hyperbole.  On this level, it is absolute.  The  psychopathic officers described above should not be considered human and should be warehoused in mental hospitals for the remainder of their lives.
