A Few Questions You May Have Asked

I know, I know, I have shaken my head too, many many times after hearing about the latest from Limbaugh, or Hannity or some wanna-be RayGunite politician. I am stupefied at the given reasons for a state legislature slashing funding for organ transplants in Az, the declared war on public unions in Wisconsin, the need to stop health insurance reform at the federal level — what could possible be the - real - reasoning? We know at the state level they gave huge tax give-a-ways first thing, in a time of deficits and declining revenue, and then decided to balance the budget by cutting vital services for the poor and undermining public employees — why is everything so upside-down with these people?

The answers lie in an inability the conservatives share, something they will never admit to and something they may not even know is missing — they are completely missing the ability that generates a care response for another human being! That's right, you heard me, yes it's that simple, no it can't be fixed, and no this is not a life style decision and yes it's exactly what makes them so dangerous! Have you ever noticed their lack of empathy, their lack of complex emotions (guilt, remorse). Everything Beckkk says is designed to generate an uncaring response, to evoke devision, how something like socialism or communism is tagged with a 'liberal', same with Lint-balls and all the rest. The only thing they talk about is what they don't care about, all the time, 24-7! They do understand hatred, they do understand fear (primitive emotion), when you don't care about people, or the truth, or the consequences, it make it real easy to manipulate people, to herd them and corral them, for their own benefit. It also makes it easy to destroy the caring effort of Unions to protect themselves, or throw needy people off the roles of state subsidized health care — right? You just need some believable excuse to distract people with, a blurring of reality to add some legitimacy, and the war on 'care' can be prosecuted. That's right, 'care' is what they want to repress. It's not the budget or families or tax payers they fight for, and the sooner you get past the smoke screen, the sooner you can effectively deal with their deception that always leads to destruction, always.

The war is on Care, and the targets are:

1) Goverment
2) Unions - collective bargaining
3) Planned Parenthood
4) Social security
5) Jobs that pay taxes to goverment
6) Health Care
7) Stem cell research
8) Free and Fair elections
9) ACORN
10) EPA - Regulations
11) Science
12) Gay marriage
13) Caring people - Liberals - Progressives - Truth tellers
14) Global Warming - our future

It just goes on and on. Care is at the heart of every one of these.

I know, I know, they do look like us, don't they. And yes they do walk like us, but their underlying motivation is missing care, and in it's absence the manipulation of people has become their priority. They don't want to help us, they can't empathize with our survival, the best some can do is give the pretense they care (sarah palin, christie ring any bells). Instead they would rather separate and control people with ready made, simple, self-serving deceptive conclusions that always point in the wrong direction. They need people who are manipulated and controlled by fear and anger to support them (insert george bush), who are filled with misleading ideology (tea party, libertarianism, objectivism), who are paid to support them (lobbyist). It's how they survive in a world where the normal currency is — care!

Caring, and the effort to express it, are their foe. Because the caring place a great deal of emphasis on the truth, it points the caring in the direction of the needs of people. The caring share their evolutionary bond thru cooperative resource management (goverment), organizational effort (unions) and democracy (voting). Have you noticed that all three are under assault by conservatives!

Uncaring conservatives place a great deal of emphasis on being able to manipulate people, paying millions for the opportunity. With the pretense of caring and an air of legitimacy, they can attain any goal, they think. They relate to corporations and the wealthy because there is no care involved, only a contract to further their agenda that in turn engenders economic support. Their currency of choice is of course money and power, which only encourages them, because not caring — seems to be paying very well these days in America.

If you have something they don't.

That's why I find it so intuitive to think of them as Reptilians. They are missing those traits that first appeared in the mammalian (and, independently, in avian) brains. Compassion, empathy, etc. are first associated with creatures whose life cycles involve providing extended care to their young, feeding, sheltering, and teaching them. In mammals, these functions are lodged in parts of the brain that evolved after the split with reptiles.

Thanks for your time, now we have to determine the cause because this is not normal. Vaccines — that hyper-stimulate the microglia cells of the brain in response, cause collateral damage and truncate full development of the brain! Besides autism vaccines are responsible for many many developmental disorders.

I think the essential "missing part" in psychopaths is maybe the right orbitofrontal cortex. It's not exactly missing, but it never developed properly. Children who don't get the right sort of interactive experience with a significant caregiver in the period between about 12 and 24 months seem never to "get it" that other people are human like them, with internal lives. They go on to treat others like objects.

You mention autism--indeed, autists display some traits that are at least superficially similar to those of psychopaths. I have seen a number of individuals I thought to be classic Aspergers types get (mis)diagnosed as psychopaths in forensic contexts (where the examiners are always looking for antisociality and psychopathy, seldom giving thought to possibilities such as Aspergers).

Just take the DSM and compare the autism-spectrum disorders to the Hare PCL-R sometime. That fascination with some specific topic gets misinterpreted as glibness, etc.

as something predictable, as something even possible and normal — it isn't. The injection of any vaccine these days can result in anything from simple uncaring to drop dead psychopathy. The real problem here is the moneyed interest of corporations vs humans. At 2 years old you don't have a say-so, so just go along, and mind you're own business!

that Pig Pharma (I meant to type "Big" but decided I liked my typo better) & Big Medicine are certainly capable of a whitewash, but I don't know enough about the issue to comment intelligently.

At work a RW coworker told me the only thing he cares about is the well being of his family. Everything he does is focussed on them and anyone else doesn't matter to him at all.

(At lunch he would discuss the biblical inaccuracies of some bible movie he recently saw.)

He was totally self focussed without any empathy for others.

They don't see why they should have to pay school taxes if they have no children. They don't see why their taxes should pay for health care or pensions for state employees.

Their attitude seems to be that they're reluctantly willing to pay taxes that go to things they approve of or benefit from personally but not for anything that helps other people.

It's that same failure of empathy that amounts to total self-centeredness.
