@TLAVagabond It’s hard to fathom how stupidly unserious all of this bread and circus nonsense is. Makes me sigh with cynicism

Catherine Austin Fitts on how psychopaths are able to run the world

"people who have no empathy are really good at... organizing for self-benefit"

"[So] you have... 3 to 5% sort of psychopath[s] [at the top], [and then] 20 to 25% who are making a lot of money helping them"

"then you have the other 60 to 70% [of the population] who can't fathom what's going on. And what the others are doing, what the smaller groups are doing, drives them crazy. And they become neurotic"

This clip of Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (@solari_the), is taken from a discussion with Alix Mayer (@alixm) posted to YouTube on June 3, 2026.

----------------Partial transcription of clip---------------

"There's a wonderful book called Political Ponerology. Have you ever read it? Okay, so, the, the description of the book is as follows. It was a psychologist who had been a young man during Hitler in Poland. And after the war then Stalin came in and he was at university and he and a group of colleagues decided, you know, because they'd been so traumatized by all this tyranny, they said, we're going to study the intersection of psychopathy with politics.

"And that's ponerology, the study of psychopathy mixed— And here's what they— And they wrote the book, he said, three times, tried to get it out from behind the Iron Curtain and then, failed, had to destroy it. And then when he finally got out after '89, he wrote it from memory.

"And here's what it said. And what he said was that most people are born with empathy and they can't fathom not only that other people don't have empathy, but that the people who have no empathy are really good at getting together and organizing for self-benefit.

"So the people with no empathy are much more effective at conspiracies than the people with empathy. Okay?

"So anyway, what he said was about 20 to 25% of the population who are competent at running things are willing to work for the people who don't have empathy as long as they get paid well.

"And if you look at the history of America, the way we've gotten here is a lot of people got paid a lot of money, whether with their stocks and bonds or whether their job helping the people who have no empathy do all the evil doing.

"I mean, you know that because if you look at what's going on in medicine, you can see it clearly.

"So what happens is you have the 3 to 5% sort of psychopathic, then you have the 20 to 25% who are making a lot of money helping them. And then you have the other 60 to 70% who can't fathom what's going on. And what the others are doing, what the smaller groups are doing drives them crazy. And they become neurotic.

"They become neurotic about the food, they become neurotic about the healthcare, they become neurotic about programmable money. And until they finally come to understand, you're dealing with psychopathic and you're dealing with people who will help the psychopaths for money.

"And what he said was once people could fathom what was going on, suddenly they started being effective."

@thenotorious617 No, the Knicks are the selected this year.

[Checkered Past @CheckeredPast33]

@KnicksMuse He looks like his dog just died.

[Checkered Past @CheckeredPast33]

@BeholdPaleH0rse Magically the Knicks morph into the 1971-72 LA Lakers and win 12 straight playoff games on their way to winning their first championship in 53 years as a good, but not great 53 win team.
Yeah right ok, all legit lol

[Checkered Past @CheckeredPast33]

@Celtics_Cash They aren’t yet magically they’ve won 12 straight playoff games and will probably win their first championship in 53 years…
“And it makes you wonder.”

[Checkered Past @CheckeredPast33]

@truthstreamnews @elijahwood @alamodrafthouse And wtf is up with their sound-system? Dolby something or other imo is ear-shatteringly awful

[Checkered Past @CheckeredPast33]

@_TruthZone_ Agreed.

[Checkered Past @CheckeredPast33]

The Knicks just magically win 12 straight playoff games…
And will win the Finals.
Sure.
