ciently investigated questions would be complemented and
deepened by means of the appropriate detailed research. The
diagnosis of the pathocratic state of affairs would then be
elaborated within the first dozen or so years of the formation of
the pathocracy, especially if the latter is imposed. The basis of
the deductive rationale would be significantly wider than any-
thing the author can present here, and would be illustrated by
means of a rich body of analytical and statistical material.
Once transmitted to world opinion, such a diagnosis would
quickly become incorporated into it that opinion, forcing naive
political and propaganda doctrines out of societal conscious-
ness. It would reach the nations that were the objects of the
pathocratic empire’s expansionist intentions. This would render
the usefulness of any such propagandized ideology as a
pathocratic Trojan horse doubtful at best.
In spite of differences among them, other countries with
normal human systems would be united by characteristic soli-
darity in the defense of an understood danger, similar to the
solidarity linking normal people living under pathocratic rule.
This consciousness, popularized in the countries affected by
this phenomenon, would simultaneously reinforce psychologi-
cal resistance on the part of normal human societies and furnish
them with new measures of self defense.
Can any pathocratic empire risk permitting such a possibil-
ity?
In times when the above-mentioned disciplines are develop-
ing swiftly in many countries, the problem of preventing such a
psychiatric threat becomes a matter of “to be or not to be” for
pathocracy. Any possibility of such a situation emerging must
thus be staved off prophylactically and skillfully, both within
and without the empire. At the same time, the empire is able to
find effective preventive measures thanks to its consciousness
of being different as well as that specific psychological knowl-
edge of psychopaths with which we are already familiar, par-
tially reinforced by academic knowledge.

PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHIATRY
Both inside and outside the boundaries of countries affected
by the above-mentioned phenomenon, a purposeful and con-
scious system of control, terror, and diversion is thus set to
work.
Any scientific papers published under such governments or
imported from abroad must be monitored to ascertain that they
do not contain any data which could be harmful to the pathoc-
racy. Specialists with superior talent become the objects of
blackmail and malicious control. This of course causes the
results to become inferior with reference to these areas of sci-
ence.
The entire operation must of course be managed in such a
way as to avoid attracting the attention of public opinion in
countries with normal human structures. The effects of such a
“bad break” could be too far-reaching. This explains why peo-
ple caught doing investigative work in this area are destroyed
without a sound and suspicious persons are forced abroad to
become the objects of appropriately organized harassment
campaigns there.112
Battles are thus being fought on secret fronts which may be
reminiscent of the Second World War. The soldiers and leaders
fighting in various theaters were not aware that their fate de-
pended on the outcome of that other war, waged by scientists
and other soldiers, whose goal was preventing the Germans
from producing the atom bomb. The Allies won that battle, and
the United States became the first to possess this lethal weapon.
For the present, however, the West keeps losing scientific and
political battles on this new secret front. Lone fighters are
looked upon as odd, denied assistance, or forced to work hard
for their bread. Meanwhile, the ideological Trojan horse keeps
invading new countries.
An examination of the methodology of such battles, both on
the internal and the external fronts, points to that specific
pathocratic knowledge so difficult to comprehend in the light
of the natural language of concepts. In order to be able to con-
trol people and those relatively non-popularized areas of sci-

over so many years that would have supported the information presented in

ence, one must know, or be able to sense, what is going on and
which fragments of psychopathology are most dangerous. The
examiner of this methodology thus also becomes aware of the
boundaries and imperfections of this self-knowledge and prac-
tice, i.e. the other side’s weaknesses, errors, and gaffes, and
may manage to take advantage of them.
In nations with pathocratic systems, supervision over scien-
tific and cultural organizations is assigned to a special depart-
ment of especially trusted people, a “Nameless Office” com-
posed almost entirely of relatively intelligent persons who be-
tray characteristic psychopathic traits. These people must be
capable of completing their academic studies, albeit sometimes
by forcing examiners to issue generous evaluations. Their tal-
ents are usually inferior to those of average students, especially
regarding psychological science. In spite of that, they are re-
warded for their services by obtaining academic degrees and
positions and are allowed to represent their country’s scientific
community abroad. As especially trusted individuals, they are
allowed to not participate in local meetings of the party, and
even to avoid joining it entirely. In case of need, they might
then pass for non-party. In spite of that, these scientific and
cultural superintendents are well known to the society of nor-
mal people, who learn the art of differentiation rather quickly.
They are not always properly distinguished from agents of the
political police; although they consider themselves to be in a
better class than the latter, they must nevertheless cooperate
with them.
We often meet with such people abroad, in the countries of
normal people, where various foundations and institutes give
them scientific grants with the conviction that they are thereby
assisting the development of proper knowledge in countries
under “communist” governments. These benefactors do not
realize that they are rendering a disservice to such science and
to real scientists by allowing the supervisors to attain a certain
semi-authentic authority, and by allowing them to become
more familiar with whatever they shall later deem to be dan-
gerous.
After all, those people shall later have the power to permit
someone to take a doctorate, embark upon a scientific career,

achieve academic tenure, and become promoted. Very medio-
cre scientists themselves, they attempt to knock down more
talented persons, governed both by self-interest and that typical
jealousy which characterizes a pathocrat’s attitude toward nor-
