Stephen Harper the moderate psychopath.
The Psychopathy of Stephen Harper.
Stephen Harper, a moderate intelligent psychopath (IQ approx 110 based on his writings). This is in using the Dr. Hare PCL-R scoring. Dr Hare is the foremost expert on psychopathy in the field.
In a factual sense one must observe the subject in question to identify key psychopathic traits, if in fact they do exist.
Now down to the guts of the matter.
"Glib and superficial charm"
------ Remember when Harper first got on the scene and his smile was noted by me that only a slight curl of his lips ensued showing a canned smile. A genuine smile uses more muscles right up to the eyes showing "crows feet". Harper being the moderate psychopath learned to smile realistically even though it is not genuine. It is just facial window dressing for the unknowing. The superficial charm is a challenge for the psychopathic Harper in that he does not know how to act in large crowds, hence avoid, but managed to learn to show some superficial charm to colleagues that he likes and works with. His superficial charm and glib-ness always points back to him (Harper) as to how does it benefit (Harper), control over people. One of the earlier signs of his moderate psychopathy was his lack of physical contact with his children. I remember "the handshake" with one of his very young sons. Sociology teaches us that children need physical contact (hugs) for proper social/mental development. Obviously Harper has very little sense of the feelings and development of another person. It was only when the press pointed it out that Harper learned that he had to act superficially that he cared for his sons well being. The key being he had to learn and then develop what to us would be natural.
"cunning and manipulativeness"
MP Bill Casey comes to mind. An MP standing up for his Riding against Harpers' demands. Harper decides to manipulate the remaining Caucus by kicking Bill Casey out of the Party. Cunning in the sense that Harper intimidates the remainder to follow HIS demands. Who does it benefit? Harper, not Canadas' democratic values. Harper of course does give in to Nova Scotia at a later date to manipulate the voters of Nova Scotia with funds. Of course, with Bill Casey vindicated, Harper emphatically on the news states that in no way would Bill Casey be allowed back into the Party, even though Bill Casey was correct in standing up for his constituents.
The main stream media is one of Harpers' largest ongoing manipulations. As a psychopath, Harper cannot deal with the lack of control of media questions. So as a moderate psychopath he relishes the ongoing mind exercises of manipulation - boredom is a psychopaths doom as he does not have relationships like average people do, which keeps boredom to a minimum. His slight of hand trial balloon to manipulate the media even further with HIS own tightly controlled media center fell apart and almost let himself slip as a moderate psychopath. He learned a manipulative boundary.
Harper trying to manipulate the media showing dead soldiers coming home trying to enforce the media off the Base proper so they cannot be filmed even though the families wanted it to show Canadians that this is happening.
Creating the talking points for the President of Afghanistan. The supporting documentation when asked for was mostly blacked out by the Conservatives.
"lack of remorse or guilt"
Bill Casey correctly standing and vindicated is tossed out of the Party. Harper appeared glee-full in stating that Bill Casey would never be allowed back into the Party and that the Con Party will run a Conservative Candidate against him.
Harpers' lack of remorse and guilt in the young dieing soldiers in an un-win-able war. As I have stated on my blog there is only one way to win, and the Canadians with Allies are not taking historical lessons to win. Hence, more dead bodies coming home. No guilt in keeping soldiers there dieing.
No guilt or remorse for 14 yr old kids or brainwashed 15 yr old kids. Harper just wants them to rot away. Any kid brought up in a bad neighbourhood with a lower IQ and easily manipulated - Harper wants to take him away and put him in a Max Jail. Harper has no guilt when it comes to child abuse.
"shallow AFFECT(superficial emotional responsiveness)"
Going back to where the moderate psychopathic Harper had to actually learn how to smile - shallow emotionally. Dead soldiers coming home - shallow emotionally. The so called Eastern defeatism - shallow responsiveness.
"callousness and lack of empathy"
The moderately psychopathic Harper has ZERO empathy for a brainwashed 15 yr old Canadian kid sitting in Gitmo. Harper believes that the poor and disadvantaged have to pull themselves up and I say with what? No empathy for the old, in-firmed as CPP and CPP Disability is appallingly below poverty level. No empathy or lack of sleep from Harper.
Callously offering Nova Scotia an Accord to which Harper announced gleefully to the Public with no empathy for other Provinces, even though the Accord was never signed. He also promised no side deals, so technically without a signing, Harper can sleep even deeper, not that he has any guilt keeping him up anyway.
"failure to accept responsibility for own actions"
Harper refusing to accept his Firewall around Alberta writings and putting it off as an indiscretion stemmed from his Right Wing living in Alberta. Note that if Alberta took his advice, it would have benefited Harper in Alberta (wealthiest Province) while he laughs (glee) at the Rest Of Canada.
Blaming the media for his downfalls even though all they do is quote what HE says.
"need for stimulation"
Psychopaths having no real relationships unless its for show have a lot of time otherwise which of course leads to boredom. Harper thrives on chaos and creates chaos just for the stimulation. His wife does her own thing, the kids in school are away from him, he watches his kids play sports because he likes it. The rest of the time is boredom. Its during these boring times that he plans for stimulation through manipulation whether from fear, guilt or whatever he finds works on those individuals involved. Us non psychopaths have family relationships, and friendships for stimulation and to keep boredom at bay. Not so for psychopaths.
"criminal versatility"
Harper ridding democratic laws by enforcing a Reverse Onus on individuals convicted 3 times. Harper manipulating the Public with FEAR to subvert democracy.
Gitmo North - nuff said.
Snatching illegally and sending people to other Countries to be interviewed tortuously.
Backing Bushs' Gitmo in Cuba.
Prying into peoples' houses just in case they are doing something that HE ( Harper ) does not approve of by sifting through private persons electricity bills and actually allowing police to perform knock and talks just to try to catch you doing something illegal -----FEAR.
"grandiose (exaggeratedly high) estimation of self"
Easy, its always Harpers' way or the highway. You can't get a better example.
NEXT; HOW TO USE THE ABOVE AGAINST HARPER.
cheers :) majere the commoner from the streets of kitchener
