It is remarkably certain that the gentle thoughtful lesbian graduate student in psychology at Harvard University Medical School, who harassed me and disturbed my sleep every one or two hours every day for the past three years meets the criteria. Not that she is unique in the list of previous 45 years of primary harassers. They all share at least one characteristic of having no moral conscience. Police employees, crime families, FBI informants, Communists, Harvard University campus police, lawyers, and building superintendents. They all do the same thing. It is truly amazing how they all conform when attacking me. As Einstein and others observed, “The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”

Now psychologists are saying that one percent of all people are psychopathic and therefore lack a conscience to restrain their wilder impulses. Psychopaths are quite rational, and rationally fabricate a false and attractive personality to provide cover for their conscienceless frauds and misdemeanors. Psychopathy is randomly distributed and psychopaths may come with any combination of physical and intellectual attributes and quirks, but psychopaths are lacking in moral conscience. Intelligent and manipulative psychopaths can be among the most dangerous creatures on the planet.
Psychologists have become quite good at identifying psychopaths but usually only after a crime has been committed.
[. . .]
Bullying behavior is invariably psychopathic in nature.
[. . .]
Not all psychopaths come across as bullies all of the time: some are charming and even charismatic when they need to impress someone.
[. . .]
Regardless of charisma or salesmanship, when given operational responsibility a psychopath will invariably fail.

Jon Corzine followed a similar career path. Corzine was involved in the Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM) multi-billion dollar disaster followed by a term as a US senator, and later became Governor of New Jersey leaving record debts, record disapproval ratings, and major personal scandals behind him. Corzine then became CEO of MF Global, and nineteen months later MF Global entered bankruptcy in one of the biggest corporate failures in history. There were allegations that Corzine used clients' money in an attempt to shore up MF Global, and there were losses in client's accounts.

In fact, creativity often appears to be a factor related to psychopathy. Many artists, writers, and movie and theater people are quite Leftist in their political orientation and psychopathic in their behavior.
Lillian Hellman was an ardent supporter of Stalin at a time when Stalin was persecuting and executing creative types such as Hellman.

Dr. Andrew Lobaczewski spoke of the
"Spellbinder," an authoritarian psychopathic personality that can by force of personality and eloquence move his listeners to self-destructive behaviors. Alcibiades, Napoleon, Lenin, Hitler, and Obama fall within this category of psychopathic spellbinders.
The rarest psychopathic type is the intellectual psychopath, with
Karl Marx as the leading example. Saul Alinsky, Richard Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven, and Obama's buddy and terrorist Bill Ayers seem to fall into this category.
[. . .]
The most damaging psychopaths are the political types.
[. . .]
Most known psychopathic dictators fall into one of two categories that may be identified as either having had an abusive childhood or having had a privileged childhood. Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Saddam Hussein were abused as children, but Napoleon, Lenin, and the Kim family in North Korea led lives of privilege. Obama lived a life of privilege with many disruptions, which is probably a factor in his psychopathy.
[. . .]
This summary of psychopathic types is intended to help individuals to identify psychopathic personalities and to avoid them insofar as possible.
