There is good reason for America to be seen as an asylum.
Asylum
:an institution for the maintenance and care of the mentally ill or other persons requiring specialized assistance.
:an inviolable place of refuge and protection giving shelter, aiding and abetting violent criminals and other undesirables.
:sanctuary for the unwanted and/or condemned.
Aid and Abet
To assist someone in committing or encourage someone to commit a crime. Generally, an aider and abettor is criminally liable to the same extent as the principal. Also called “aid or abet” and “counsel and procure.”
Re: The American Mental Asylum: A Remnant of History
What will the Democrats come up with next in their attempt to suck the air out of the news cycle and the freedoms from the citizens? Whatever it is, it will surely distract from their terribly bad policies, their corrupt and incompetent politicians and their terrible track records for making America a prosperous and productive nation.We need only look at the cities and large metropolitan areas or states they use as their own fiefdoms. Are these not yet good examples of what is in store for the rest of the nation?
That crazed, manic cackle from Kamala Harris…

We often talk of Joe Biden’s diminished mental state, characterized by his inability to hold a thought and tendency to fly off the handle in frustration, but has anyone questioned the similar issues of his running mate?
See for yourself if this encounter with Biden’s vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, looks normal:
Somebody on her team has got to address the #KamalaCackle. It is such a dealbreaker. pic.twitter.com/AewyLbA3QT

She bursts into a deep, continuous belly laugh on the question of whether children should be going back to school, in two bursts, both inappropriate in their context and unnerving to others as a result. If you heard someone on the bus doing that, you’d move to another seat.
It’s not the first time she’s done it, either. Here she was on Stephen Colbert’s show, asked about her harsh scoring of Biden himself at one of the presidential debates:
Strange extended cackling laughter there, too.
It makes one wonder if something is just a little off about her.
What does psychology say about people who burst into inappropriate laughter? According to Wikipedia, what’s called “paradoxical laughter” could be a sign of bipolar, mania, hypomania (where a person is in a manic state but is outwardly normal), or schizophrenia. We can probably rule out the last item, but she might be a candidate for one of the two former ones. The bipolar spectrum often involves feelings of grandiosity and then deep lows, which wouldn’t be utterly surprising for someone in the political arena. It also has roots in mood disorders such as depression — and with Kamala’s record of fakery (fake Twitter followers, a curious election that flipped in her favor at the last minute), she might inwardly feel like a fraud. But most people in politics don’t slide into episodes of manic laughter as she does.
Whatever it is, and perhaps it is none of this, it seems to suggest she’s handling the pressure of being a candidate badly. Nobody does that kind of manic laughter without being thought a little off. In her case, it’s a particularly disagreeable cackle, which is bound to turn some voters against her even more.
As James Woods points out, it’s strange that her handlers haven’t said anything. That may well be because she’s famously difficult to work with, based on the leaks that came out during her primary campaign, another sign of potential personality disorders.
Does Harris have a mental health issue she’s not disclosing? Combined with Joe, whose mental faculties are failing, it’s worth it for voters to know. Maybe someone should ask her.

Biden’s bizarre kabuki

No one greeted the Prime Minister of Japan, Yoshihide Suga, a head of state, when he arrived at the White House last Friday for the first state visit President Biden’s overseers allowed him to have since his installation. A door guard had to admit Mr. Suga and he stood around in the foyer surely wondering if he had the date wrong or was at the wrong address, while someone summoned the Vice President from somewhere.
Mr. Suga then stood before the press while a grim-faced Mrs. Heiress nattered on about the terribly gun-violent country he was visiting, that there was no question that this gun violence must end and how she, that she and Mr. Biden were thinking of the families of the gun-violence victims — all as if she and her fellow leftists hadn’t spent the last 12 years creating entirely new and inventive ways of failing to stem the violence that they birthed and nurtured to terrifying adulthood (I’m looking at you, Barack-FBI-CIA-NSA-BLM-Antifa).
Then she smiled and tossed her Breck-girl hair and welcomed the Prime Minister of Japan and oh my gah, who are these people? Granny and Uncle Jed had better company manners. You can’t see Mr. Suga’s entire face, but his eyes look confused about the fresh hell he’d been dropped into and he was probably counting the minutes until he could leave.
I was embarrassed for Mr. Suga and the Japanese who had to watch their leader be treated as if he didn’t matter. Who’s in charge of protocol in Mr. Biden’s White House? Is it the same person who led the Dalai Lama through the kitchen and out the back door by the garbage bags after his state visit with Obama?
After luncheon, Mr. Biden and Mr. Suga gave a press conference timed to the movements of the Prague Astronomical Clock. There was no smiling or rapport of any kind, and it had the jerky quality of a middle school Claymation project.
Mr. Biden called on a reporter who asked about his administration’s inability to focus on more than one agenda item at a time. Did he want to say anything to the people about his lack of progress on gun control and police reform because they had to wait while he pursued infrastructure, while at the same time people are horrified by the mass shootings and police shootings like the one in Chicago recently, and does he feel any need to re-prioritize his agenda?
Mr. Biden’s answer was all about guns. I’m paraphrasing here, but he insisted he was the only one to ever do this and that on guns and bans on assault weapons and clips that hold more than 10 bullets. As he got going his voice got louder and he started repeating himself, and I quote: “I strongly support, I strongly support, the universal background checks. [snip] It’s a national embarrassment. It is a national embarrassment what’s going on. [snip] Every single day (smacks the podium). Every single day (smacks the podium again) there’s a mass shooting in the United States. [snip] It’s a national embarrassment. [snip] Who in God’s name needs a weapon that can hold 100 rounds or 40 rounds or 20 rounds? It’s just wrong and I’m not going to give up ‘til it’s done.”
Until what’s done, exactly? He doesn’t say. And I personally suspect that the real reason the first row of the press corps sits 6 feet away is so they don’t get spit on when he mangles all the sibilants in his speeches.
All the while Mr. Suga is just standing there looking at nothing, wearing the same half-smile I wear when I’m standing in line at the DMV so I don’t look like a furious biotch, which would mean that all the DMV ladies hate me before I even get up to the counter.
Mr. Biden turns to Mr. Suga and asks him if he has a question he wants to offer. Er, not a question. Uh, recognize someone. Mr. Suga called on a reporter who asked him what he and the president talked about during their meeting. Mr. Suga said he explained all his opinions and positions to Mr. Biden, “…who I think understood my points.” Who I think understood my points? That’s what I say to my husband after I’ve told my Dachshund that he must stop pooping in the house, “I think he understood my points.”
The Reuter reporter upon whom Mr. Biden called asked about Iran’s determination to start up the uranium enrichment festivities again. Mr. Biden looked down at his prepared statement and read the words in a halting voice. Then he looked at Mr. Suga. Then looked at the audience. Then he looked at Mr. Suga again. Then he looked around and raised his hand in a “What’s supposed to happen now?” motion but Mr. Suga was in a boredom coma and couldn’t move or speak. His interpreter called on a reporter who asked a question about Covid and the Olympics. Mr. Suga looked down at his paper and read off the answer. Then it was over.
CNN posted a breathless, blow-by-blow account of this “press conference” on its website and, as I read it, I wondered, “Did we watch the same thing?” CNN’s analysis was akin to the twisty-turvy plot of Interstellar while I was sure I had just watched Plan Nine From Outer Space. I think I’ll trust my own lying eyes.

Flashback
A short time ago, Shadow-President Obama said Americans had developed the “wrongheaded” view that Washington won’t look out for them, a fallacy he said was stoked by conservatives and their philosophy that says people (want to be free and decide) “on their own.”
He goes on to project, “The truth of the matter is, is that the reason that we have not seen Washington address the core concerns of too many working families around the country is that you have a party that has been captive to an ideology, to a theory of economics, that says those folks, they’re on their own and government doesn’t have an appropriate role to play.”
And our goal and our task has to be to break that grip, that particular view, that particular wrongheaded vision this country has (to be free and successful) so that we can get back to the business of investing in the American (politician) and investing in America’s future. (emphasis mine)
Yes, Americans have been tricked into thinking their government hates them. Stupid Americans. We’ve got to reprogram them so they will accept more federal spending and help the hardcore socialists build beautiful piles of debt for our children to pay off.
Obama and his administration confirmed that —
The Democrats have a congenital disease — we get really excited about presidential elections and then during midterms we fall asleep.
And partly it’s the nature of our voters. We’re disproportionately young, disproportionately minority, disproportionately working-class. and (disproportionately represented) Folks are busy. They’ve got a lot of stuff going on (to rig the election) …
Yes, Republicans are rich, lazy, and many are out of work having had their wages stolen by poor Democrat politicians, who are scrambling to steal more of it. It’s just the system we have.
Of course, it wasn’t uncommon for Barack Obama to take his message of fighting economic inequality to an audience of hyper-wealthy Silicon Valley executives paying up to $32,400 to the Democratic National Committee for privileged access.
And as Obama bloviates,“The reason that we’ve got gridlock right now is you’ve got a party that’s been captured by folks who are on the wrong side of the issues,” Certainly that would depend on what those issues happen to be..
Don’t forget that in 2014 Obama’s America had a national debt that was out of control, $17 trillion and climbing. Yet, John Kerry would give foreign workers at the State Department a 42% raise. 42%! When was the last time American breadwinner’s had gotten a raise like that? The Obama/Democrat Administration was simply out-of-touch with the challenges facing American taxpayers. So, what is the next Democrat remake of the government in their image going to be and what will it do to us?
“The quality of an elected government will never exceed the quality of the press.” Welcome to more of the same and worse.
Is this a cognitive test, mental illness, or a conspiracy theory. Depends on where one happens to be standing in the situation. Doesn’t it?
Corruptissima re publica plurimæ leges. (The more corrupt the state, the more laws‘) — Tacitus, Annals Book III, XXVII
The Totalitarian Persona
Generalizations may be made, which can help our understanding of a totalitarian leadership. Obviously, for example, they suffer from an overwhelming need to control other human beings and to exert unlimited power, and this is in itself a psychological aberration, often rooted in deep-seated feelings of anxiety, humiliation, and inferiority. The ideologies such people propound are used as tactical and strategical devices through which they hope to reach their final goal of complete domination over others. This domination may help them compensate for pathological fears and feelings of unworthiness, as can be concluded from the psychological study of some modern dictators, and many politicians and bureaucrats alike.
Observation and insight into their twisted minds, can also be useful especially because it reveals to us something about the mutual interaction between totalitarian leadership and those wanting to be led by them.
Eyewitness accounts and reports of despotic behavior from their friends, collaborators, and sycophants present a fantastic picture of the totalitarian’s prime motivator and mover. Such individuals and their “Party” are known and recognized among their intimates by their vices and morally corrupt behaviors, as they project blame on others for their very own actions and behaviors. Many may be observed virtually throwing themselves on the floor in a kicking and screaming fits; pushing an illusional persecuted identity or victimization persona possessing them, likened to a frothing epileptic rage. From such observations and reports, most rational individuals should be able to deduce something about the roots of this pathological behavior as it is displayed by this cult of morbid “geniuses,” or the so-called “smartest people in the room.”
Their paranoid hostility against those unlike them is partly related, to perhaps unresolved parental conflicts; those they view as their enemies probably symbolize for them, emulated by the hated or drunken father who mistreated them or the mother who neglected to nurture them while these future totalitarians were still children. Their nature is obsessive thinking, their furious fanaticism, their insistence on maintaining the purity of a utopian “collectivism” for only their own profit, and their ultimate mania to destroy themselves along with the world. Such behaviors are obviously the results of nothing less than a sick psyche.
Others are revealed as the prototype of the overambitious latent homosexual psyche; who are easily seduced into the political adventure, even when this was in conflict with the remnants of their conscience. For unlike some, they are capable of distinguishing between right and wrong, but choose to act otherwise. They often become the submissive, automatic mouthpiece of the Party, while mixing military honor and personal ambition in the service of their own delusions and unimportance.
Still others, possess an obvious pathological character structure. In many cases their lives consisted of being lonely, withdrawn, schizoid personalities, lacking any conscience, wallowing in their own sty of hostile and destructive fantasies. Alone and bereft of human attachments, they are intuitively sought out and easily conditioned by powers-to-be for the most savage of all the Party jobs. They are useful tools and instruments for the committing of the most bestial and heinous of deeds.
Hence, the “Party” platform morphs into a tremendous persecution phobia from which Party members live in constant terror that they too will become the victims of their own purges.
Psychological analysis of such individuals shows clearly that such a pathological culture — an insane world, so to speak – can be built by certain impressive psychoneurotic character types. The venal political figures need not even comprehend the social and political consequences of their behavior. They are compelled not by ideological belief, no matter how much they may rationalize to convince themselves or others they are, but by the distortions of their own personalities. They are not motivated by their advertised urge to serve their country, fellow citizen or mankind, but rather by an overwhelming need and compulsion to satisfy the addictive power cravings of their own pathological character structures.
The ideologies they spout are not real goals; they are the cynical illusional devices by which these sick individuals hope to achieve some personal sense of worth and power. Subtle inner lies seduce them into going from bad to worse. Defensive self-deception, arrested insight, evasion of emotional identification with others, degradation of empathy – the mind has many defense mechanisms with which to blind the conscience.
Any form of leadership, if unchecked by balances and controls, may gradually turn into a totalitarian dictatorship. Being a leader, means carrying great power and responsibility for other people’s lives, and is a monumental test for the healthy human psyche. The weak leader is the person who does not nor cannot meet it, who simply abdicates their responsibility. The totalitarian leader is the person who replaces the existing standards of justice and morality by increasingly private prestige, by more and more power, and eventually isolates themselves increasingly from the rest of humanity. Their suspicion grows. Their isolation grows, and the vicious circle leading to a paranoid attitude easily develops.
The totalitarian is not only a sick, pathological personality; They are also cruel opportunists. They sees no value in any other person but themselves and feel no gratitude for any help they may have received. They are suspicious, thin-skinned, and dishonest and believe that their personal ends justify any means they may use to achieve them. Peculiarly enough, every totalitarian tyrant still searches for some self-justification. Without such a soothing, albeit deceptive device for their own conscience, they cannot live.
Their attitude toward other people is manipulative; to them, people are merely tools for the advancement of their own greed and selfish aggrandizing interests. They reject any conception of doubt, of internal contradictions, of man’s inborn ambivalence. they deny the psychological fact that humans grow to maturity through critical thinking, through trial and error, through the interplay of contrasting feelings. Because they will not permit themselves to think critically, nor to learn through trial and error, hence the totalitarian can never become a mature person. Nevertheless, whether they acknowledge these traits or not, they have internal conflicts, they suffer somewhere from internal confusion. These inner “weaknesses” they sternly try to repress; if they were to be exposed or come to the surface, it might interfere with the achievement of their greed-driven goals. Yet, in the attacks of rage their weakening strength and its overabundance is evident.
It is because the totalitarian is afraid, albeit unconsciously, of their own internal conflicts and contradictions, that they too are afraid of the same internal contradictions of their fellow citizens. So, they must purge and purge, terrorize and terrorize in order to still their own raging inner drives. They must kill every doubter, destroy every person who makes a mistake, and imprison everyone who cannot be proved utterly single-minded. In the Totalitarian State, the latent aggression and savagery in humanity are cultivated by the “dictator” to such a degree that they can explode into mass criminal actions shown by their overt persecution of minorities. Ultimately, the totalitarians running a country illustrates a real pathology, an utter dominance of destructive and self-destructive tendencies, as opposed to true Liberty, Freedom and Justice.

It has become commonplace for an individual or groups of individuals behind most all the delusional psychodramas we may encounter to be immersed in the realm of social ‘networks’; in their own mind(s) and for whatever reason, they tend to be highly disturbed or agitated about some situation they find themselves in or exposed to. As an outlet for their personalized dilemmas, and to them psychologically, it becomes a necessary condition to come up with some form of mythos or mind-play so as to best assist them in forgetting about any irresponsible part or role that may have plagued them leading up to and in the manifestation their own condition(s). Free expression is one thing but insane obsession becomes quite another.
So, isn’t it obvious that anything the corrupt politicians and their media propagandists say is the most often opposite of the truth. By now, we see there are plenty of valid data points with which to prove it.
As a reminder…Whatever our evidence, the righteousness of our perspective and despite our expertise and qualifications, we will be ignored and penalized by people who hold real power if our insights do not correspond to the existing political narrative. Today we may only be ignored, but future attempts will be made to fully silence and marginalize us.
