the path to social-sociopathy......
We have explore psychopathy and sociopathy in depth somewhere on this site with the caveats that about four per cent of men are psychopaths and one per cent of women are psychos as well… Meanwhile social-sociopathy should be defined differently as sociopathy…
THIS ANALYSIS IS A SIMPLISTIC SHORT CUT TO A COMPLEX PROBLEM…. By Gus leonisky
Psychopaths are usually born with the symptoms and are difficult for a social construct to deal with them when they become dangerous. They usually are “uneducated” and end up in prison or an asylum for “mad” people, more often than not. These cases are usually self-contained individual vessels who interfere ALONE with their relationships — be with their family, neighbours or social networks. Sociopaths learn to become ruthless users of the system in a way they often become at the top of the pile. Example would be Hitler and Stalin. Sociopath know how to manipulate social networks to achieve their superior controlling status. Some unwise people would place PUTIN in this lot, but this would be wrong. Putin is a careful manager of a difficult geopolitical situation which is created by Western sociopaths. Social-psych-sociopathy should be viewed as a fuel of revolutions but not all revolutions are created by social-psychopathy. It should be acknowledged that most of the social and property damages during a “legitimate” protest are the product of a social-socio-psychopathy in which individuals become TEMPORARILY psychopath/sociopaths en masse —i.e. as a GROUP. The riots in France are an example of this. What leads people to become social sociopaths as a group? We ALL have the seeds to become sociopath. This could range from simple anger to become aggressive eventually dangerous to ourselves and everyone, though most sociopaths know how to manage this fluid anger or any annoying situation by taking immediate advantage — or retreating, knowing that advantage over others can be taken “later on”. For a sociopath, care is only about ONESELF. Not about others, though one sociopath makes sure others obey one’s command. As a group of protesters, there will be various levels of anti-social behaviour, including building up a group social-sociopathy. There will be social triggers to why people become angry enough to become anti-social and reach anarchistic level of behaviour. In the group there will be “educated” and “uneducated” anarchists — as well as looters [full-blown psychopaths] and agents provocateurs [agents of the system assigned to make sure any peaceful protests become violent]. This complicates any resolutions of the original seeds of the conflicts. Governments make sure protests become violent in order to hit back with the “law” AND THE POLICE in a “law and order” control which hides the sociopaths running the social system. In a way, Emmanuel Macron is a mid-level sociopath who has learnt to manage his ambitions with a certain elegant arrogance of grandeur. As a former banker, he has learned the magic tricks of enrichment of his milieu, but the magic does not amuse/appease the crowds any more. So what are the triggers for a “revolution” in France, 2026? Why are the young people angry? It is a complex perception of failure of education and of government policies at several levels: — sociological with inequality become prevalent — political with the wrong decisions being taken — some religious platforms having become too simplistic to explain humanity — some religions pressuring certain sections of the community with excluding absolutism. ALL OF THESE REPRESENT A SOCIAL COHESION LIE. When people — especially young people — realise that they’ve been deceived since childhood, they can either become — depressed [sometimes leading to suicide] — or angry. At a personal level this leads to “rebellion” At a group level this leads to “revolution”
Apart from perpetuating the misunderstanding the artificial purpose of social constructs, the deceit from from governments add to the confusion and the perception that WE ARE BEING LIED TO… At a practical level, this is simple enough: — Education budget is being slashed — moneys are being wasted in supporting Ukraine Whether the Kiev government is Nazi or not, or that Russia is correct or not — is not the issue. The issue is that BEING INVOLVED IN A WAR AFAR should not be the driver of social and budgetary decisions that hurt the population. As well, the lies about the war in Ukraine are slowly being taken apart — like the “Saddam has weapons of mass destruction” deception of 2002/03… The Western lies about Ukraine have been constructed at least since 1945 and kept going crescendo until 2026, through the catalyst of 2022. These lies have led to REDUCTION in local French social services, and to increases in the price of gas and diesel [the war against Iran is part of the greater war against RUSSIA]. These lies and reduction have also permeated other EUROPEAN countries, under the deceitful FASCIST fist of Ursula Von der Leyen. As far as the kids — joined by the YELLOW VESTS and the socialists — are concerned, the governments which have turned to FASCISM in order to stay alive, should cope it. One of the problem is such revolution end up destroying the delicate social fabric, with little to replace it except anger — or extreme right politics. WE SHAL SEE… if reason prevails… Most likely, a new breed of sociopaths will take the leadership.
WHAT FLAVOUR THE PUBLIC SERVICE? THROUGHOUT HISTORY, THE MAIN QUESTION THAT HAS RARELY BEEN ASKED. THE NEEDS OF ONE IS NOT NECESSARILY THE NEEDS OF OTHERS, THOUGH MOST NEEDS ARE BASICALLY SURVIVAL NECESSITY. FOR HUMANS, MOST OF WHAT WE WANT IS STYLISTICALLY CONSTRUCTED AND THIS IS WHERE WE MOSTLY DIFFER. WE GET TEMPTED BY EQUAL VALUES BY MANIPULATION OF APPEARANCES. MANAGING THESE DIFFERENCES HAS BEEN THE CHALLENGE OF SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS IN WHICH A TONAL BASELINE IS “PUBLIC SERVICE”. THE REST IS FLAVOUR. ICECREAM: SUGAR CREAM, LEMON, STRAWB, VANILLA? COFFEE: BITTERNESS VS AROMA? SEE MICHAEL PARENTI The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. The live green earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many. The glittering mansion overlooks a vast sprawl of shanty towns, wherein a desperate, demoralized humanity is kept in line with drugs, television, and armed force.
You see there are people who believe the function of the police is to fight crime, and that's not true, the function of the police is social control and protection of property.
The problem with capitalism is that it best rewards the worst part of us: the ruthless, competitive, conniving, opportunistic, acquisitive drives, giving little reward and often much punishment-or at least much handicap-to honesty, compassion, fair play, many forms of hard work, love of justice, and a concern for those in need.
[The ruling elites] know who their enemies are, and their enemies are the people, the people at home and the people abroad. Their enemies are anybody who wants more social justice, anybody who wants to use the surplus value of society for social needs rather than for individual class greed, that's their enemy.
With unfailing consistency, U.S. intervention has been on the side of the rich and powerful of various nations at the expense of the poor and needy. Rather than strengthening democracies, U.S. leaders have overthrown numerous democratically elected governments or other populist regimes in dozens of countries ... whenever these nations give evidence of putting the interests of their people ahead of the interests of multinational corporate interests.
A nation as such does not give aid to another nation. More precisely, the common citizens of our country, through their taxes, give to the privileged elites of another country. As someone once said: foreign aid is when the poor people of a rich country give money to the rich people of a poor country. Michael Parenti

UN dystopia....
Conventional opinions fit so comfortably into the dominant paradigm as to be seen not as opinions but as statements of fact, as 'the nature of things.' The very efficacy of opinion manipulation rests on the fact that we do not know we are being manipulated. The most insidious forms of oppression are those that so insinuate themselves into our communication universe and the recesses of our minds that we do not even realize they are acting upon us.

FULL: 'Eight Countries Kept Silent...': Jeffrey Sachs Reveals How US Banned His Speech at UN!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqDSXgcYQqg
"Eight Countries Kept Silent...": On April 1, 2026, world-renowned economist and author Jeffrey Sachs delivered a blistering briefing revealing how he was blocked by the United Kingdom from delivering official testimony at an emergency U.N. Security Council session following U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran.
In this unfiltered geopolitical breakdown, Jeffrey Sachs exposes the deep hypocrisy inside the U.N. Security Council, detailing how eight member nations—including France, Denmark, Greece, and the UK—refused to acknowledge the initial strikes, claiming instead that Iran's response was completely "unprovoked." Sachs explains why every single country denying the attack hosts U.S. military bases, illustrating how Washington uses imperial regime control to strip European and allied nations of their independent foreign policy.
What You Need to Know:
• U.N. Security Council Gag Order: Jeffrey Sachs explains how he was invited by member governments to testify at U.N. Headquarters, only to have his speech blocked by the U.K. presidency.
• The 8-Nation Silence: How Denmark, France, Greece, Latvia, Bahrain, Panama, Colombia, and the UK omitted the initial U.S.-Israel strikes during official U.N. proceedings.
• Imperial Regime Control: Why nations hosting U.S. military bases act as instruments of the American security state rather than sovereign, independent diplomatic voices.
• Personal NATO Anecdote: Sachs shares private conversations with former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, revealing how European officials lose their independence while serving Washington.

generation Z....
How to Manipulate Generation Z
by Thierry Meyssan
While a dozen nations have already experienced—sometimes successfully—protests led by Generation Z, the recent events in France offer an opportunity to manipulate the population. The orchestrated destruction that took place on October 17 appears to be paving the way for a state of emergency, which could allow for the suspension of the presidential election—much like what has been occurring in Ukraine for the past two years.
In this article, I will examine a dozen instances of protests by "Generation Z"—those aged 14 to 29—whether organized or spontaneous. While this generation has participated in various protest movements across different countries, they have consistently prioritized denouncing corruption, nepotism, and abuses of power above all other injustices.
It is important to bear in mind that, while one cannot necessarily manufacture the anger of a crowd, it is quite easy to divert that anger from its original objective. Consequently, while these protests may begin with the public interest in mind, they can easily go astray along the way.
A common feature of these movements is that they all erupted in the wake of scandals involving corruption or state repression. The protesters did not align themselves with any specific political ideology; rather, their primary demand was for justice.
• Mongolia: On January 11, 2025, young people in Ulaanbaatar took to the streets to protest the lavish lifestyle of Prime Minister Luvsannamsrai Oyun-Erdene’s family. The movement quickly expanded to denounce corruption across the entire political class, calling for the resignation of 33 members of parliament. Ultimately, the Prime Minister would end up resigning on June 3.
• Indonesia: In February 2025, protests against corruption erupted in Java. They were amplified by a student union after the government involved universities in mining projects in exchange for free meals for all students.
The protests simmered across the country as the government granted significant perks to the military and supported the "transfer" of Gazans, suggesting their potential relocation to the "world’s largest Muslim-majority nation."
In August, protests resumed—spearheaded by truck drivers—in response to substantial tax hikes.
It was at this point that the Jolly Roger flag of the Straw Hat crew from the manga *One Piece* appeared, serving as a symbol of the fight against corruption. Displaying it became a criminal offense, punishable as treason.
Ultimately, President Prabowo Subianto acknowledged the youth’s right to protest and lifted the sanctions against the pirate flag.
• Togo: On June 26, 2025, protests broke out following the arrest and torture of the rapper Aamron by the police. The situation immediately took on a political dimension, as his prolonged torture had been filmed by the officers, and President Faure Gnassingbé was simultaneously pushing for constitutional reforms to alter the political regime. The movement persisted until December, eventually losing momentum in the face of a highly violent—and often lethal—crackdown.
• Nepal: From September 8 to 14, 2025, young people in Kathmandu staged protests against the children and relatives of political leaders, who had been flaunting their luxurious lifestyles on social media. The authorities responded by blocking social media, but this measure had the opposite effect to the one intended. Ultimately, Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli must resign.
• East Timor: From September 15 to 17, a student union demonstrated in Dili to protest against economic perks granted to members of parliament. In the end, the lawmakers will have to forgo the luxury cars they had ordered.
• Philippines: On September 21, 2025, 100,000 young people marched in Manila against the corruption of the ruling clans—the Marcoses and the Dutertes. It is alleged that 70% of the funds earmarked for flood-control efforts have vanished.
• Madagascar: In September 2025, protests erupted across Madagascar over the failure to distribute the benefits of economic growth. This followed an ill-received speech by President Andry Rajoelina, in which he touted economic progress that the general public has failed to see. The widening protests culminated in a military coup and the flight of President Andry Rajoelina.
• Morocco: On September 27, 2025, 200,000 young people staged chaotic demonstrations in major Moroccan cities to protest against corruption and nepotism. The unrest began at a time when the state was allocating vast sums toward preparations for the FIFA World Cup, while the country’s hospitals were falling into disrepair. The movement was brought to an end by state repression.
• Paraguay: On September 28, 2025, young people began protesting against corruption and an attempt to amend the Constitution to allow former president—and alleged mobster—Horacio Cartes to return to power. Indigenous groups joined forces with Generation Z upon learning that the offices of the *Instituto Paraguayo del Indígena* (INDI) were being relocated to a military base. The movement ceased on October 3, after President Santiago Peña reversed the decision.
• Mexico: On November 15, 2025, following the assassination of a mayor by a cartel, tens of thousands of young people took to the streets to demand security and protest against corruption. The demonstrations ended in mid-December, with no resolution in sight.
• Bulgaria: On November 26, 2025, protests by young people broke out against a draft budget that would have shifted the funding of pensions and social security from businesses to general taxation, as well as against corruption. The protests only ceased a month later, following the resignation of the Zheliazkov government and the withdrawal of the reform.
• Japan: On May 3, 2025, 50,000 young people demonstrated against the remilitarization of their country, using glow sticks—reminiscent of those seen at K-pop concerts or during the attempted imposition of martial law in South Korea. Such protests soon spread throughout the nation, eventually subsiding only due to sheer exhaustion.
• India: On May 15, 2026, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court likened unemployed youth to "cockroaches." In response, a young communications student founded the "Cockroach People’s Party." He organized demonstrations that continued until the Minister of Education resigned. The movement resurged in October, protesting a reform of the electoral rolls—a procedure that effectively excluded the poorest Indians. The movement persists today, even with its leader now imprisoned [1].
THE OCTOBER 17TH PROTESTS IN FRANCEBeginning September 18, 2026, high school students—first in Créteil, then across the Île-de-France region, and eventually throughout the entire country—began demonstrating against their study conditions. They were soon joined by university students, and later, by public sector labor unions.
While the initial demonstrations were peaceful, unrest began to emerge after certain left-wing elected officials declared that violence was legitimate. Agitators and rioters joined the ranks of the high school and university students, causing extensive damage to schools and universities. Meanwhile, police officers began to question their own leadership; they were receiving contradictory orders that prevented them from protecting the protesters and left them vulnerable to the rioters.
Nationwide demonstrations were announced for October 17. The "Yellow Vests"—the informal movement that emerged in 2018–2019 to protest fuel prices and advocate for "peripheral" (non-metropolitan) France—joined the movement, with the goal of fighting against the high cost of living.
The police, despite their reputation for great precision, underestimated the size of these gatherings, placing the number of protesters at a maximum of 150,000—when in reality, there were between 550,000 and 800,000. Police leadership ensured that public-order units were deployed only in numbers commensurate with these low estimates, and saw to it that they were supplied with only a minimal amount of tear gas and dispersal grenades.
European "black blocs" brought in thousands of militants, primarily from Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium.
On October 17, clashes broke out before noon and continued until the early hours of the 18th. The police, completely overwhelmed, were unable to protect anyone or anything—with the sole exception of the Élysée Palace. More than 600 police officers and gendarmes were injured, yet only 26 individuals were brought before the justice system. 3,000 businesses were destroyed, and historic buildings were set on fire. The damage is estimated at several hundred million euros.
ANALYSISNo single specific event triggered the high school student protests. Rather, it was a manifestation of widespread fed-up-ness—a sense among an entire generation that they have been abandoned. They are told they must make do with poorly insulated school facilities, where they suffer from extreme heat or cold depending on the season; that they cannot expect to have teachers when their own are out sick; that, in any case, they will never find employment, as they will be replaced by artificial intelligence; and yet, they will still be expected to pay off the debt—and the interest on that debt—accumulated by their parents’ generation.
Initially, a left-wing political party attempted to co-opt these demonstrations by positioning itself outside high school exits. But everything changed on October 17.
It is clear that certain individuals within the police command structure took deliberate steps to ensure the demonstration would escalate into chaos—showing total disregard for both the protesters and their own subordinates, the police officers on the ground. Notably, in an unprecedented move, the primary police union, Alliance, filed a formal legal complaint against "persons unknown" (*plainte contre X*) on October 14, citing the "endangerment of the lives of others." This organization is gathering accounts from across the country to identify the officers who orchestrated the chaos.
It is worth asking—as these police officers themselves do—what the hidden figures behind this violence are aiming to achieve. It is likely that they are preparing an operation intended to disrupt the presidential election scheduled for April 18 and May 2, 2027.
It is possible that these hidden figures are in France, though it is also conceivable that they are abroad—a hypothesis reinforced by the participation of European "black bloc" groups.
How can one forget that in 2011, the presidential candidate leading in the polls, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, was arrested in New York for rape—by local police, but with the assistance of the Pentagon—thereby ensuring the election of his "friend," François Hollande? [2]
How can one forget that in 2017, the presidential candidate leading in the polls, François Fillon, was implicated for having hired his wife as a parliamentary assistant—even though she performed no work at the National Assembly—thereby paving the way for the election of a third party, Emmanuel Macron?
And is it not possible that in 2027, the presidential candidate leading in the polls, Marine Le Pen, might be convicted by the courts and stripped of her civic rights—or that the situation might necessitate placing the country under a "state of emergency," or perhaps, under the new provision introduced by the law of August 16, 2026, a "national security alert state"?
Addressing the nation the very next day, President Emmanuel Macron provided a brief assessment of this day of destruction [3]. He concluded that the French people were powerless in the face of such violence. He then concluded by expressing a desire to restore order—so that the elections might take place.
