Weaponises the justice system

One way you see this tactic operating is within the Family Court System, as Parental Alienation. A Cluster-B parent bringing false allegations against the other parent, and being believed enough so that they walk away with child custody.

In the category of "Forces, coerces, and bullies", i would add the use of legal force, or lawfare - I'm thinking vaccine mandates (writing from Canada here).

Democrats in the US use lawfare against political rivals, such as Trump. In Canada, JT has used lawfare against his political dissenters. Trucker Convoy, for instance. And now there are threats of legislation against anyone with an opinion on the Residential Schools different than his.

"Exploits" is what we call special knowledge of software vulnerabilities and the techniques to take advantage of them. It appears that PPPs developed such skills long before silicon computation. I sometimes wonder whether they scaled up such exploits to found religions.

Cults definitely, although the line between a cult and a religion is hard to draw. But if a system of thought or ideology has sustained entire human communities, children, adults and elders through all the stages of life and over many generations it is very difficult to see how it can be called pathological.

One key element here could be, can it survive the death of its founder?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones

Jim Jones' People's Temple would be a classic example of this. That mass murder / suicide was the narcissistic demand that nothing would survive him.

If it's an exploitative system of manipulation and confusion it should collapse when the pathological personality is removed. However if it has a deep connection to the nature of reality and the needs of the human community it could survive and prosper.

Suicide clusters have a DP in the background. Controlling death is the ultimate for these people. They often do so indirectly, through wars, suicide clusters, unfettered abortion legislation, and state euthanasia.

The results of the 2016 MAID legislation in Canada have brought the largest suicide cluster in the world. Over 60,000 state suicides by 2022.

Vulnerable people can be coerced in various ways to murder themselves.....all through the arrangements of DPs at the helm, who are indirectly doing the job.

American teenager Michelle Carter did this to her boyfriend years ago. She was charged and imprisoned.

World leaders of the DP variety bring in state euthanasia legislation, pretending they are doing it out of compassion....and it all looks perfectly OK. To some. Though it is precisely what Michelle Carter did, but on a mass scale.

I see that PM Keir Starmer of England is about to bring in state euthanasia now. Why am I not surprised?

Yes, there have been several doomsday cults which have ended in mass suicides. Or in arranged scenarios that no one would survive -- such as the David Koresh set-up.

This sounds to me like another such case:

"French man dies by suicide after failed beard transplant by 'estate agent': 'He entered a vicious cycle'

Mathieu Vigier Latour travelled to Istanbul for the procedure, but learned afterward that the man performing it was allegedly not a medical professional "

I have always separated authentic religion from cults through the idea that a DP is the authority behind a cult. Not so in authentic religion. And this DP also provides the group narrative, which cannot be questioned or dissented to without the questioner/dissenter being shunned/smeared/punished.

The DP also demands admiration and continual attention.

In authentic religion, questioning and dissent are allowed. In your average Christian church, for instance, you can safely raise concerns, and you can come and go as you please. Most of them are not operated by DPs.

Expand full comment

"your average Christian church" is not the sort of case I was thinking of. I'm referring to where the worldview, teachings and behavior of the overall cult, relative to the rest of the world, appear to mirror that of a PPP relative to its victims. Imagine a cult of this nature that is able to continue across the generations, accumulating "special psychological knowledge", compounding wealth across generations, refining its manipulative techniques...

All cults are totalitarian by nature. That is what defines a cult. They have a Cluster-B/DP leader or authority figure who demands regular attention and admiration, and a group narrative which MUST be obeyed. The designated scapegoats are usually the family that was left behind, as well as outsiders of all kinds.

There are extremist religious cults. Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and the "Religion of Peace", to name a few. Many small cults such as this, too.

If you want to get into the fine points, we could even say that the Puritans, as the founding group of America, were a religious cult. Which led eventually to the Witch Hunts in Salem after a few generations.

“The propensity of people of DP to know of, understand, and use these tactics is high and surprisingly common across the population of adult people of DP.”

In the better books on Borderline/Narcissistic Personality Disorder, there are descriptions of the seeming "special manual" that every Cluster-B person operates from. All of their tactics follow same or similar patterns. Astonishingly so. As if the same brain regions are damaged or deactivated.

Excellent article thank you. I’m seeing many politicians fitting this profile, I believe Justin Trudeau is not normal, his narcissism is incredible to behold, incomprehensible, bizarre…and he always always deflects and never ever answers a straightforward question but waxes eloquently about an entirely different topic of his choosing instead.He is completely delusional and doesn’t give a damn about our country nor our people only his ideologies matter to him and he covets his power as prime minister. Ugh, he is enjoying destroying our country and he lies about everything, not honest or accountable for anything pretending he is our biggest benefactor while shoving a knife in our back.

Did I miss it somewhere? Another DP predatory tactic is Spying.

As in British curtain twitchers of COVID Mania, and weaponized children of Parental Alienation, and Children of the Chinese Red Guard, and the spies in Orwell's "1984".

They spy in order to ensure that everyone follows the group narrative, which endows artificial personhood on those who have little or none themselves.

Another DP trick under the "mask of sanity", or passive-aggressiveness, is to send around the police to a target's home on a supposed "wellness check". Telling the police that they are concerned for this person's mental health. The whole thing being a scam, of course.....meant to tear apart the target's reputation by stigmatizing them, having the neighbours see the police at their door and think the worst, as well as showing the target that they are never safe -- the DP can always break in upon their world.

But what right does a target have to complain, when someone is showing concern....?

Blackmail

I knew of one DP (Cluster-B) woman who would choose targets who were parents of young children. She would then demand something from them -- money or various favours. If they refused, she would threaten to call the local Children's Social Services office with an "anonymous tip" that they were abusing their own children. Even though they were not at all -- both the DP and the targets knew this -- the process of being investigated for this potential crime was destructive enough to rip through the family and do the job the DP had in mind.

DP doctors might also try this tactic. They may mis-use their authority to suggest that a parent or parents are abusive. When this is not the case. They know that a name coming in to police from a community professional such as a doctor will be investigated without question. They can ruin reputations and seed fear in the children.

Who guards the guards?

Generally, such a doctor wants something, and will use this type of control to get it.

Lobaczewski called this the psychopath’s “special psychological knowledge,” about which he wrote: “In spite of their deficiencies in normal psychological and moral knowledge, they develop and then have at their disposal a knowledge of their own, something lacked by people with a natural worldview.”

_______________________________________

And they begin using this "special knowledge" in the same manner wherever a particular mind-virus infection has taken hold. This was very noticeable during COVID Mania as the lockstep phenomenon across many different Western nations. We saw various DP (Cluster-B) leaders following from the same head office manual, inflicting the same inane policies and dictates at more or less the same time. As if someone had given each of them the identical script. It would have been odd enough for one leader of one country to act out in such ways. But for all of them to do so?

Basically, what DPs do is to exploit loopholes in normal human assumptions, communication, and relationships.

The same way a DP leader of a country will exploit the loopholes in the founding documents of that country.

Using the Legal System to Attack

This was the chosen path in the Satanic Panic/False Memory System of the 1980s/90s. Often instigated by one DP in a community, or several DPs working as therapists in various areas. The source of the original infection was a feminist book, "The Courage to Heal" by Laura Davis and Ellen Bass, which spread the fear of supposed hidden incest everywhere. While incest does indeed exist, there can also be false allegations of this. Such false allegations required scapegoats in order to assuage it.

A Mass Hysteria much like COVID Mania.
