Vampires & Zombies: Psychopaths and their Prey


Zombies! What's with that cultural icon? Zombies and Vampires; we as a moving-going society seem to have a fascination with those archetypes: Resident Evil, Hellsing, Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, 30 Days of Night, Interview with the Vampire, and Underworld to name a few. In some films, manga and anime Vampires are the source of an infection, if they don't turn you into a vampire completely you become a zombie, ghoul, or otherwise mindless slave to their will, a servant. In others the infection spreads like a virus, cooked up in some lab and then unwittingly released upon the populous. This happens in our world as well, though the parallel is metaphoric. Vampires are psychopaths: soulless monsters that feed off the blood of others. Not literally of course, though stranger things have happened. But for the most part psychopathic manipulation seems bent on conning the prey out of some service, good, money, power and/or ethereal energy. From the preface to Ponerology:


This leads us to an important question: what does the psychopath really get from their victims? It’s easy to see what they are after when they lie and manipulate for money or material goods or power. But in many instances, such as love relationships or faked friendships, it is not so easy to see what the psychopath is after. Without wandering too far afield into spiritual speculations - a problem Cleckley also faced - we can only say that it seems to be that the psychopath enjoys making others suffer. Just as normal humans enjoy seeing other people happy, or doing things that make other people smile, the psychopath enjoys the exact opposite.

Anyone who has ever observed a cat playing with a mouse before killing and eating it has probably explained to themselves that the cat is just “entertained” by the antics of the mouse and is unable to conceive of the terror and pain being experienced by the mouse. The cat, therefore, is innocent of any evil intent. The mouse dies, the cat is fed, and that is nature. Psychopaths don’t generally eat their victims.

Yes, in extreme cases of psychopathy, the entire cat and mouse dynamic is carried out. Cannibalism has a long history wherein it was assumed that certain powers of the victim could be assimilated by eating some particular part of them. But in ordinary life, psychopaths don’t normally go all the way, so to say. This causes us to look at the cat and mouse scenario again with different eyes. Now we ask: is it too simplistic to think that the innocent cat is merely entertained by the mouse running about and frantically trying to escape? Is there something more to this dynamic than meets the eye? Is there something more than being “entertained” by the antics of the mouse trying to flee? After all, in terms of evolution, why would such behavior be hard-wired into the cat? Is the mouse tastier because of the chemicals of fear that flood his little body? Is a mouse frozen with terror more of a “gourmet” meal?

This suggests that we ought to revisit our ideas about psychopaths with a slightly different perspective. One thing we do know is this: many people who experience interactions with psychopaths and narcissists report feeling “drained” and confused
and often subsequently experience deteriorating health.
Does this mean that part of the dynamic, part of the explanation for why psychopaths will pursue “love relationships” and “friendships” that ostensibly can result in no observable material gain, is because there is an actual energy consumption?


Emphasis mine. The author's don't claim to know the answer, but I'd wager in the affirmative.


In Resident Evil the virus is created in a lab and then released, the perpetraitor doing so in the hopes of making a large sum of money. Similarly, the methods used in brainwashing the populace of the world were cooked up in a lab. A lot of psychology went into it, and I'd also wager they had help. Likely the history of our lil blue planet is much longer and more detailed then we ever could have suspected. Knowledge, especially that 'special psychological knowledge' of the psychopath, has been accrued and kept for centuries or more. They have the art of manipulation down to a science, literally, and they use it against us as a biological weapon. In our world this manifests mostly in what I call 'The Cult of Official Culture'. This takes the form of 'reality television', commercials, materialism - mostly coming through the TV, Radio, and Print. All owned and consolidated (thanks to Bill Clinton and the 1993 Telecommunications Act) by a handful of Pathocrats.

For some keen insight into the specifics I suggest a reading of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, though I prefer to refer to it as the Protocols of the Pathocrats, Douglas Reed spends a lot of time analyzing it in his work Controversy of Zion and I highly reccomend a thorough reading for further insight. Clearly it's attribution to Jewish sources a mask, make no mistake, it was written by psychopaths, for psychopaths and the use of Judiasm as a mask is their signature.


It is a common phenomenon for a ponerogenic association or group [a group of psychopaths, or a group co-opted by same] to contain a particular ideology which always justifies its activities and furnishes motivational propaganda. Even a small-time gang of hoodlums has its own melodramatic ideology and pathological romanticism. Human nature demands that vile matters be haloed by an over-compensatory mystique in order to silence one's conscience and to decieve consciousness and critical faculties, whether one's own or those of others.

If such a ponerogenic union could be stripped of its ideology, nothing would remain except psychological and moral pathology, naked and unattractive.


Thus without 'blaming the Jews' sotospeak the deviants who wrote the Protocols would show us 'all the cards in their hand' and they aren't about to do that.

How does this relate to Zombies? Well, as I mentioned earlier, Vampires create Zombies or they are turned by an artificially concocted plague unleashed upon a populace. Psychopaths are Vampires, and their special psychological knowledge and ability to manipulate normal humans is their infectious quality. The ideology can be viral, it must have human hosts in order to propagate, and once you've accepted the ideology of a psychopath, you're infected. It slipped past your conscience and your critical thought and took up residence inside your mind. Your a Zombie and you're under the control of a Vampire. Lobaczewski words it thusly:


The atrophy of natural critical faculties with respect to pathological individuals becomes an opening to their activites, and, at the same time, a criterion for recognizing the association in concern as ponerogenic. Let us call this the first criterion of ponerogenesis.

Another phenomenon all ponerogenic associations have in common is their statistically high concentration of individuals with various psychological anomalies.


Most people won't know they've accepted pathological ideology, and if you tried to tell them, they'd fight you tooth and nail, argue endlessly and refuse to see the truth. They have to see it for themselves, and only time and experience can yield that.

Now this is gonna be a bit of a shock, and I hope the reader doesn't immediately disregard what I'm about to say out of hand, nonetheless we've all been infected.

"What? How can this be? I don't follow pathological men around and I most definitely don't do anyone's bidding but my own."

A wise man once said, all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Thus by doing nothing to fight the darkness we are doing the bidding of Vampires, Psychopaths. Here's what they want us to do: have fun, lots of fun, so much fun that we don't question why a million Iraqi's have died, why our soldiers are returning from combat physically and psychologically maimed, why millions are starving or without clean water, proper clothing and shelter. They also want us to work, work hard, and to spend our hard earned money surviving and having fun. They used to call it 'bread and circus'.

To be clear, I'm not suggestion you stop having fun and cease working. Extremes never seem to yield progress and thus balance is something I myself seek, equilibrium. But I can't tell you how many people I know that don't even follow world affairs. When politics is brought up their eyes roll and they moan, "Oh are you guys getting political? That stuff bothers me so much I just tune it out. I'm happier when I don't think about it." Or I'll be out to dinner with my family, my father has done well for himself (quite the republican) and the conversation will undoubtedly stay within the confines of recent ongoings, family drama, recent purchases, or future plans. It's at times like these I think about how the aforementioned topics are so far from their consciousness that it's almost painful. Then, as soon as the thought occurs someone asks me a question, or food arrives and I resume playing the role of a good son.

So Zombies we all are, to varying degrees, zombies and so we remain until we choose to be something else. We must choose often, and we must make hard choices - those are the ones with real value. As Dumbledore said, "Very soon we must all choose between what is Right, and what is Easy." I struggle to make that choice, and I know others who do a much better job then I, but we need help. There's not enough of us. Go to Protests? Follow the news? That's a start, but to treat the infection we need specific knowledge of it. A lot of that knowledge is contained in Political Ponerology, more in Snakes in Suits & Without Conscience. Reading the Signs also helps, as it's quite possibly the most objective look at the planet you can find on the net. I'd also suggest weaning yourself from television, print and radio, unless of course your studying it as a source of a contagious psychological illness.


Knowledge Protects, Ignorance makes you a Zombie.
