Profile of the Sociopath

http://www.mcafee.cc/Bin/sb.html

 

This website summarizes some of the common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths.

  • Glibness and Superficial Charm
  • Manipulative and Conning
    They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
  • Grandiose Sense of Self
    Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
  • Pathological Lying
    Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
  • Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
    A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
  • Shallow Emotions
    When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
  • Incapacity for Love
  • Need for Stimulation
    Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
  • Callousness/Lack of Empathy
    Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
  • Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
    Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
  • Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
    Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.
  • Irresponsibility/Unreliability
    Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
  • Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
    Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.
  • Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
    Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
  • Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
    Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.

Other Related Qualities:

  1. Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them
  2. Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them
  3. Authoritarian
  4. Secretive
  5. Paranoid
  6. Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired
  7. Conventional appearance
  8. Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)
  9. Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life
  10. Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim's affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)
  11. Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim
  12. Incapable of real human attachment to another
  13. Unable to feel remorse or guilt
  14. Extreme narcissism and grandiose
  15. May state readily that their goal is to rule the world

(The above traits are based on the psychopathy checklists of H. Cleckley and R. Hare.)

NOTE: In the 1830's this disorder was called "moral insanity." By 1900 it was changed to "psychopathic personality." More recently it has been termed "antisocial personality disorder" in the DSM-III and DSM-IV. Some critics have complained that, in the attempt to rely only on 'objective' criteria, the DSM has broadened the concept to include too many individuals. The APD category includes people who commit illegal, immoral or self-serving acts for a variety of reasons and are not necessarily psychopaths.

DSM-IV Definition

Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a lack of regard for the moral or legal standards in the local culture. There is a marked inability to get along with others or abide by societal rules. Individuals with this disorder are sometimes called psychopaths or sociopaths.

Diagnostic Criteria (DSM-IV)

1. Since the age of fifteen there has been a disregard for and violation of the right's of others, those right's considered normal by the local culture, as indicated by at least three of the following:
    A. Repeated acts that could lead to arrest.
    B. Conning for pleasure or profit, repeated lying, or the use of aliases.
    C. Failure to plan ahead or being impulsive.
    D. Repeated assaults on others.
    E. Reckless when it comes to their or others safety.
    F. Poor work behavior or failure to honor financial obligations.
    G. Rationalizing the pain they inflict on others.

2. At least eighteen years in age.

3. Evidence of a Conduct Disorder, with its onset before the age of fifteen.

4. Symptoms not due to another mental disorder.


Antisocial Personality Disorder Overview (Written by Derek Wood, RN, BSN, PhD Candidate)

Antisocial Personality Disorder results in what is commonly known as a Sociopath. The criteria for this disorder require an ongoing disregard for the rights of others, since the age of 15 years. Some examples of this disregard are reckless disregard for the safety of themselves or others, failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors, deceitfulness such as repeated lying or deceit for personal profit or pleasure, and lack of remorse for actions that hurt other people in any way. Additionally, they must have evidenced a Conduct Disorder before the age of 15 years, and must be at least 18 years old to receive this diagnosis.

People with this disorder appear to be charming at times, and make relationships, but to them, these are relationships in name only. They are ended whenever necessary or when it suits them, and the relationships are without depth or meaning, including marriages. They seem to have an innate ability to find the weakness in people, and are ready to use these weaknesses to their own ends through deceit, manipulation, or intimidation, and gain pleasure from doing so.

They appear to be incapable of any true emotions, from love to shame to guilt. They are quick to anger, but just as quick to let it go, without holding grudges. No matter what emotion they state they have, it has no bearing on their future actions or attitudes.

They rarely are able to have jobs that last for any length of time, as they become easily bored, instead needing constant change. They live for the moment, forgetting the past, and not planning the future, not thinking ahead what consequences their actions will have. They want immediate rewards and gratification. There currently is no form of psychotherapy that works with those with antisocial personality disorder, as those with this disorder have no desire to change themselves, which is a prerequisite. No medication is available either. The only treatment is the prevention of the disorder in the early stages, when a child first begins to show the symptoms of conduct disorder.

THE PSYCHOPATH NEXT DOOR (Source: http://chericola57.tripod.com/infinite.html)

Psychopath. We hear the word and images of Bernardo, Manson and Dahmer pop into our heads; no doubt Ted Bundy too. But they're the bottom of the barrel -- most of the two million psychopaths in North America aren't murderers. They're our friends, lovers and co-workers. They're outgoing and persuasive, dazzling you with charm and flattery. Often you aren't even aware they've taken you for a ride -- until it's too late.

Psychopaths exhibit a Jekyll and Hyde personality. "They play a part so they can get what they want," says Dr. Sheila Willson, a Toronto psychologist who has helped victims of psychopaths. The guy who showers a woman with excessive attention is much more capable of getting her to lend him money, and to put up with him when he strays. The new employee who gains her co-workers' trust has more access to their chequebooks. And so on. Psychopaths have no conscience and their only goal is self-gratification. Many of us have been their victims -- at work, through friendships or relationships -- and not one of us can say, "a psychopath could never fool me."

Think you can spot one? Think again. In general, psychopaths aren't the product of broken homes or the casualties of a materialistic society. Rather they come from all walks of life and there is little evidence that their upbringing affects them. Elements of a psychopath's personality first become evident at a very early age, due to biological or genetic factors. Explains Michael Seto, a psychologist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental health in Toronto, by the time that a person hits their late teens, the disorder is almost certainly permanent. Although many clinicians use the terms psychopath and sociopath interchangeably, writes psychopath expert Robert Hare on his book 'Without Conscience', a sociopath's criminal behavior is shaped by social forces and is the result of a dysfunctional environment.

Psychopaths have only a shallow range of emotions and lack guilt, says Hare. They often see themselves as victims, and lack remorse or the ability to empathize with others. "Psychopaths play on the fact that most of us are trusting and forgiving people," adds Seto. The warning signs are always there; it's just difficult to see them because once we trust someone, the friendship becomes a blinder.

Even lovers get taken for a ride by psychopaths. For a psychopath, a romantic relationship is just another opportunity to find a trusting partner who will buy into the lies. It's primarily why a psychopath rarely stays in a relationship for the long term, and often is involved with three or four partners at once, says Willson. To a psychopath, everything about a relationship is a game. Willson refers to the movie 'Sliding Doors' to illustrate her point. In the film, the main character comes home early after just having been fired from her job. Only moments ago, her boyfriend has let another woman out the front door. But in a matter of minutes he is the attentive and concerned boyfriend, taking her out to dinner and devoting the entire night to comforting her. All the while he's planning to leave the next day on a trip with the other woman.

The boyfriend displays typical psychopathic characteristics because he falsely displays deep emotion toward the relationship, says Willson. In reality, he's less concerned with his girlfriend's depression than with making sure she's clueless about the other woman's existence. In the romance department, psychopaths have an ability to gain your affection quickly, disarming you with words, intriguing you with grandiose plans. If they cheat you'll forgive them, and one day when they've gone too far, they'll leave you with a broken heart (and an empty wallet). By then they'll have a new player for their game.

The problem with their game is that we don't often play by their rules. Where we might occasionally tell a white lie, a psychopath's lying is compulsive. Most of us experience some degree of guilt about lying, preventing us from exhibiting such behavior on a regular basis. "Psychopaths don't discriminate who it is they lie to or cheat," says Seto. "There's no distinction between friend, family and sucker."

No one wants to be the sucker, so how do we prevent ourselves from becoming close friends or getting into a relationship with a psychopath? It's really almost impossible, say Seto and Willson. Unfortunately, laments Seto, one way is to become more suspicious and less trusting of others. Our tendency is to forgive when we catch a loved one in a lie. "Psychopaths play on this fact," he says. "However, I'm certainly not advocating a world where if someone lies once or twice, you never speak to them again." What you can do is look at how often someone lies and how they react when caught. Psychopaths will lie over and over again, and where other people would sincerely apologize, a psychopath may apologize but won't stop.

Psychopaths also tend to switch jobs as frequently as they switch partners, mainly because they don't have the qualities to maintain a job for the long haul. Their performance is generally erratic, with chronic absences, misuse of company resources and failed commitments. Often they aren't even qualified for the job and use fake credentials to get it. Seto talks of a patient who would get marketing jobs based on his image; he was a presentable and charming man who layered his conversations with educational and occupational references. But it became evident that the man hadn't a clue what he was talking about, and was unable to hold down a job.

How do you make sure you don't get fooled when you're hiring someone to baby-sit your child or for any other job? Hire based on reputation and not image, says Willson. Check references thoroughly. Psychopaths tend to give vague and inconsistent replies. Of course the best way to solve this problem would be to cure psychopaths of their 'illness.' But there's no recipe for treating them, say psychiatrists. Today's traditional methods of psychotherapy (psychoanalysis, group and one-on-one therapy) and drug treatments have failed. Therapy is more likely to work when an individual admits there's a problem and wants to change. The common problem with psychopaths, says Sets, "Is they don't see a problem with their behavior."

Psychopaths don't seek therapy willingly, says Seto. Rather, they're pushed into it by a desperate relative or by a court order. To a psychopath, a therapist is just one more person who must be conned, and the psychopath plays the part right until the therapist is convinced of his or her 'rehabilitation.'

Even though we can't treat psychopaths effectively with therapy, it doesn't mean we can't protect ourselves, writes Hare. Willson agrees, citing the most important factor in keeping psychopaths at bay is to know your vulnerabilities. We need to "realize our own potential and maximize our strengths" so that our insecurities don't overcome us. Because, she says, a psychopath is a chameleon who becomes "an image of what you haven't done for yourself." Over time, she says, "their appearance of perfection will begin to crack," but by that time you will have been emotionally and perhaps financially scathed. There comes a time when you realize there's no point in searching for answers; the only thing is to move on.

Taken in part from MW -- By Caroline Konrad -- September 1999

THE MALIGNANT PERSONALITY:

These people are mentally ill and extremely dangerous! The following precautions will help to protect you from the destructive acts of which they are capable.

First, to recognize them, keep the following guidelines in mind.

(1) They are habitual liars. They seem incapable of either knowing or telling the truth about anything.

(2) They are egotistical to the point of narcissism. They really believe they are set apart from the rest of humanity by some special grace.

(3) They scapegoat; they are incapable of either having the insight or willingness to accept responsibility for anything they do. Whatever the problem, it is always someone else's fault.

(4) They are remorselessly vindictive when thwarted or exposed.

(5) Genuine religious, moral, or other values play no part in their lives. They have no empathy for others and are capable of violence. Under older psychological terminology, they fall into the category of psychopath or sociopath, but unlike the typical psychopath, their behavior is masked by a superficial social facade.

If you have come into conflict with such a person or persons, do the following immediately!

(1) Notify your friends and relatives of what has happened.

Do not be vague. Name names, and specify dates and circumstances. Identify witnesses if possible and provide supporting documentation if any is available.

(2) Inform the police. The police will do nothing with this information except to keep it on file, since they are powerless to act until a crime has been committed. Unfortunately, that often is usually too late for the victim. Nevertheless, place the information in their hands.

Obviously, if you are assaulted or threatened before witnesses, you can get a restraining order, but those are palliative at best.

(3) Local law enforcement agencies are usually under pressure if wealthy or politically powerful individuals are involved, so include state and federal agencies as well and tell the locals that you have. In my own experience, one agency that can help in a pinch is the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service or (in Canada) Victims Services at your local police unit. It is not easy to think of the IRS as a potential friend, but a Swedish study showed that malignant types (the Swedes called them bullies) usually commit some felony or other by the age of twenty. If the family is wealthy, the fact may never come to light, but many felonies involve tax evasion, and in such cases, the IRS is interested indeed. If large amounts of money are involved, the IRS may solve all your problems for you. For obvious reasons the Drug Enforcement Agency may also be an appropriate agency to approach. The FBI is an important agency to contact, because although the FBI does not have jurisdiction over murder or assault, if informed, they do have an active interest in any other law enforcement agencies that do not follow through with an honest investigation and prosecution should a murder occur. Civil rights are involved at that point. No local crooked lawyer, judge, or corrupt police official wants to be within a country mile if that comes to light! It is in such cases that wealthy psychopaths discover just how firm the "friends" they count on to cover up for them really are! Even some of the drug cartel biggies will scuttle for cover if someone picks up the brick their thugs hide under. Exposure is bad for business.

(4) Make sure that several of your friends have the information in the event something happens to you. That way, an appropriate investigation will follow if you are harmed. Don't tell other people who has the information, because then something bad could happen to them as well. Instruct friends to take such an incident to the newspapers and other media.

If you are dealing with someone who has considerable money, you must realize that they probably won't try to harm you themselves, they will contract with someone to make the hit. The malignant type is a coward and will not expose himself or herself to personal danger if he or she can avoid it.

Look at it as a spectrum of the social mind, with psychopathy as the high-function social mind at one end and autism as the low-function social mind at the other end.

The psychopathic mind is about manipulating, controlling, and using others as objects for one's advantage, the social mind is all about manipulating others to one's advantage, the autistic mind is about not being social.

That's why most people are all for taking a little fair advantage of others, some more destructively than others.

Youngman, this is the absolute crux of the issue that most are not seeing. Once this is a fait accompli, it will be the largest power grab in USA's history. The ramifications of this are yet to be felt and I'm sure those truly in control will be emboldened to continue until all privately held wealth is transferred to the TPTB (government being simply their proxy). Part of me hopes obamacare will waken the sheep and they will fight the real enemies now. The more realistic side of me knows this is not likely and people will just look for political solutions and be further distracted. The harsh reality of total economic collapse is what is needed to steer this around I hate to say.

Mr. Root - I concur most heartily.  There's more, though.  Health & Human Svcs buying 1.3 billions hollow-pts.  Google barges.  Thousands, if not millions of drones.  A prez who hates amerika and wants to destroy it and has a ton of Saul Alinsky types with him to do it.  If the murdering of Americans doesn't start in the next few months, I stand corrected.  But my personal belief is we are on the verge of a massacre.  Microwaves cook from the inside out.  The vermin are about to eat the cat.

The 60/40 rule. 108 million people receive entitlements vs 80 million working full time in the private sector and 22 million working for Government. So its 60/40 voting in favor of entitlements and bigger government. There is really no reason to have elections. Its over.

There's no sense in complaining about who is "legal" or "not legal" when the government itself is corrupt to the core, breaks laws then changes what is "legal". What's legal is what they say, period. If you don't like it then being legal or illegal isn't the problem. having a corrupt state is the problem.
There's nothing wrong with massive immigration - you'll need to immigrate very soon, yourself.
What's wrong is massive theft & a police-state powered by mass-murder.

I would disagree on a critical point:

Belief in infallible government, in fictional skyfairies, belief that banks can't fail, belief that paper is money - just filled with beliefs.
It's erasure of belief, seeking evidence instead, that would solve a ton of problems.

When you have enjoyed so much power and for so long, and when you have been able to steal, plunder, and deceive for so long, you tend to get sloppy and careless.  Obama is probably getting so many cross derectives from his masters naturally he is going to appear confused and incompetent, and by necessity, a liar.

When will you all grasp it? There is no "law" or "Constitution" or "United States" since the executor of the laws is an illegal entity.

Obama was born BRITISH (and probably still is) of a British subject father, and therefore is not a natural born Citizen, eligible to be POTUS. He and all of Congress, and their Central Bankers ALL know this (including Cruz and Rubio, who were born of foreign parents and not eligible either). They are not "breaking" any laws because there is no law, and the law is only what evil men say it is.

Only when the critical mass of knowledge that Obama is not eligible, and can be removed occurs (see the 25th Amendment, and 3 US Code 19, that the "individual acting as President" shall be REMOVED due to "INABILITY, i.e physical or constitutional disability), can we begin to restore the Republic. Until then the beatings will continue.

The answer is now directly before your eyes. That Obama is INELIGIBLE is the NWO kryptonite.

And replace them with whom?  I appreciate your sentiment Sir but it is evident me that yourself and many on the ZH group have never actually been involved in politics.  I have been involved in politics and in fact still am a MNGOP Officer who went Galt.  Haven't you ever wondered how the candidates you are ALLOWED to vote for are selected?  Have you ever been involved in that process?

 

So would would happen if we impeached Obama and recalled the rest of them?  This is what would happen:  They would all be replaced by the EXACT SAME THING that was recalled because what you are failing to understand is that it does matter who is elected but rather the where the money comes from to elect them.  There is always another candidate waiting in the wings who will do the bidding of the campaign donors.  This is not maybe or I read it on some website statement but rather because  have been through the process, twice, and once as a district Treasurer.  I saw where every last penny went and I signed the checks.

 

I am not trying to pick on anyone here or you specifically q99x2.  What you need to understand though is that I have been inside the system and know how it really works.  If you could all see it for yourselves you would be appalled.  You can not fix it by elections but you can fix elections and you can easily do so by controlling who the candidate is going to be that you can vote for.

 

I am not going to drag out all of the GOP's dirty laundry.  I have already gotten myself in enough trouble by being involved in the Ron Paul campaigns.  But I will say that I had to endure this imbecile and it's public knowledge now.  I think you will get the picture.

Considering the ongoing Red-Blue divide in COngress as expressed by this : 

http://www.businessinsider.com/senate-nuclear-option-mel-watt-patricia-m...

You might consider that behind the curtain in Congress there is some furious infighting going on to align the big Oligarchy guns behind the different political cum federal SPEND or CUT agendas based on different state vs private oligarchy ideologies :

1° The Tea Party clique is being financed by the Kochtopussy big Oil line up, legacy of Bush Oil matrix, whose interests are now fronted by the Kocha doodle twins. Big money, big libertarian "small state" agenda, entitlement cuts, and let the bottom 25% burn.  It obviously has ethnic connotations as people have repeatedly pointed out here. No solidarity, no place for old men, no place for the downtrodden without jobs. The 1% and their minions triumph and America goes inward looking bigtime. 

2° The Obammy line up is solidly entrenched behind Goldmanoctopussy ramp up who support Hillary as shown by her 400K remuneration, as well as by the HI-tech Cali oligarchy who are all liberal minded : Apple/Yahoo/Google et al. All behind the democrats. Awesome gunfire for the Dems against the Kochtopussy and Texan confederation.

The old GOP seem to be squeezed between these two juggernauts.

Here in current momentum we are into QE infinity and Obamacare for all, whatever that means! 

I know what ZH says on this deepening internal political divide, but on the twin Oligarchy octopussy front? (Assuming the Kochtopussy cabal to control tea party financing is the real money raiser with strings attached).

 Is Kochtopussy the saviour of libertarian tomorrows and GOP reformatting which could lead to civil war? 

Hmmm...

Money is what money does in Congress lobbying, no doubt about that!

Lets see what the Kochtopussy produces in terms of political solutions to counter Obama Goldmanpussy land "yes we scan!".

Proposals for next actions:

- mandatory subscription for monthly coverage plan to food - so every American would be able to afford to eat. The cost would be 399$ per month for the basic package: you would be able to eat in designated public cafeterias, 3 meals a day, all you can eat. For the medium plan the cost would be 499$ per month and you would be able to also buy food from designated public hipermarkets. For the platinum plan, at 999$ per month, you would also have access to restaurants reserved normaly for the upper echelons of power. For the less fortunate Americans that cannot afford to pay there would be subsidies.

- mandatory subscription to monthly coverage for housing - so every American would be able to afford to have a roof. The cost would be 449$ per family member and you would receive a place in a public housing building. For the medium plan the cost would be 699$ per family member and you would have access to your own house and garden in a working class neighbourhood. For the platinum plan, at only 1499$ per family member, you would have access to special housing projects reserved normally for the upper echelons of administration. For the less fortunate Americans that cannot afford to pay there would be subsidies.

- mandatory subscription to monthly coverage for clothing.

- mandatory subscription to transportation.

- mandatory subscription to holiday places.

- "work for everybody" projects - the unemployed would be drafted and sent to special projects to work for the common good.

This is not fantasy, it happened in the communists countries not long ago. Power to the people!

abguy4 comment from another blog:   Since this is a somewhat enlightened, truth seeking community, could we please stop calling this fiasco, "ObamaCare"?

It just plain grates on me. Why? Well, I previously posted a long version of this personal anecdote which I will condense here once more. I am personal friend with a prior Pfizer V.P. On one occasion a few years ago, I used the term 'ObamaCare' in his presence, in his home. He held up his hand, palm to me, and said; "Don't use that term in my presence. It makes you sound stupid. Firstly, Obama never read a single page of that 1000 page Bill, and Secondly, it's certainly NOT about Care. OK?  We (the Pharmaceutical Industry), employed a team of 100 or more lawyers, over  roughly a ten year period, to draft that Bill. How do you think that appeared at 1000 pages and cross-linked to other Bills , etc?. That Bill was designed specifically to funnel a minimum of an additional $100 Billion per year - at the outset (!) -  to the Pharmaceutical industry, by way of the Medical Insurance Companies Industry, with whom we are in intimate partnership. The $500 Million we dumped on Congress to get that pig through, was one hell of a cheap investment, don't you think?. We saw the Banksters get their 'bail-out' -and we spend damn near as much in Lobbyists as they do - so we pulled-out all the stoppers and went in for our "bail-Out". See?" He said a lot more but let's stick with my condensed version.

Sometimes we forget how deep the rabbit hole is, and we shudder to think how deep it actually goes. Obombster  is nothing but a puppet placed in front of us to take the blame or credit as you choose. He's a god damn bag man at best. He does the bidding of the highest bidder and so does 98% of everyone else in Gov. Right now their employee reviews are looking stellar. Look at who writes their reviews and their real paychecks and you will see that the Puppet Masters are damn well-pleased with their employees.

So....maybe we refer to Ob-Care as "Medical Industry Bail-Out". I dunno.........but, this sticks in my head;

"It ain't about Obama, and it certainly is not about care!"

If it weren't for the whores living in this country, there wouldn't be a whores running it.  Get some one out of line or yelling too loud, just throw them a few dollars and they will ......suck ... shut-up and wait to be paid again.

Speaking of ObamaCare, as one of the 237 comments to the article below put it: This article tells the real truth - the Affordable Care Act should be renamed No Insurance Company Left Behind.

The President Wants You to Get Rich on Obamacare (excerpts) | NY Times | October 30, 2013

[Tom] Scully was scheduled to deliver the keynote address at an event hosted by the Potomac Research Group, a Beltway firm that advises large investors on government policy (tag line: “Washington to Wall Street”). Today’s discussion centered on the most significant change in decades to the nation’s health care policy, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare. As Scully walked to the front of the room, some 50 managers from hedge funds, mutual funds and private equity firms tucked into the round tables. Others gathered in the hallway. A hush of anticipation hung in the air. 

…Scully then segued to his main point, one he has been making in similarly handsome dining rooms across the country: No matter what investors thought about Obamacare politically — and surely many there did not think much of it — the law was going to make some people very rich. The Affordable Care Act, he said, wasn’t simply a law that mandated insurance for the uninsured. Instead, it would fundamentally transform the basic business model of medicine. With the right understanding of the industry, private-sector markets and bureaucratic rules, savvy investors could help underwrite innovative companies specifically designed to profit from the law. Billions could flow from Washington to Wall Street, indeed.

Scully, who has spent the last 30-some years oscillating between government and the private sector, is hoping to be his own best proof of the Obamacare gold mine. As a principal health policy adviser under President George H. W. Bush, he helped formulate many of those past Republican initiatives — like the shift to private-insurance programs — that Obamacare has put into law. Under George W. Bush, he ran the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and oversaw a host of proto-Obamacare reforms, like Medicare Part D, which introduced competition into the government-supported health care market.

After leaving C.M.S. in 2004, Scully began working simultaneously at Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, a leading health care private equity firm, and Alston & Bird, a law firm and health care lobbying organization. When the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, he found himself in the rare position of being a lobbyist, private equity executive and former government health care official with access to a serious amount of capital. During the past three years, as other Republicans have tried to overturn Obamacare, Scully searched for a way to make a killing from it. …

A man after Florida Govenor Scotts heart. He can tell  ya a thing or two about making money off of medicine. Though he has recently found greener pastures attempting to privatize prisons. Build it and they will come. If not, we will put them there and never let them go. Let me see, did not the Tylers reference Hotel California twice today.

President Obama and the fellow travelers in his administration are EVIL.

I don't mean evil in terms of Hollywood movie-evil. I mean it in terms of "The Banality of Evil"; the post-World War II study of the architects of Germany's Final Solution-The Holocaust. [I can't remember the author of the study. Google it if you are interested.]

Obama and his comrades don't care about the harm their policies are causing millions of Americans. In fact, the more harm done the better for their pursuit of power to "CHANGE", to "FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM" America.

I still remember all of those fools wild approval of his plan to transform America. They were too stupid to ask what he was going to transform America into.

To Obama TRANSFORM means DESTROY.

OBAMA is the sleaziest, most lying president in American history. That's the real evil Obama represents. He lies so effortlessly. And not a single member of either party or any MSM outlet calls him on it.

PURE EVIL.

O'bomba reminds me of a famous poem written  after ordinary Germans found themselves trapped by the Nazi/international financier machine which ultimately betrayed them, 'First They Came'. 

It has been described as a famous statement and provocative poem attributed to pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the sloth of German intellectuals following the Nazis' rise to power and the subsequent purging of their chosen targets, group after group.

There is an international problem with this defense put forward by Obama, and the previous administrations.

It was defeated at the Nuremburg Trials. Operation Paperclip brought Nazis into the highest echelons of the establishment in the USA, and I hope their feeble excuses result in their personal loss and criminal prosecutions, just as happened to some of their kith and kin at the Nuremberg Trials.

If you hold a position whereby you are expected to know relevant detail, then you are personally responsible. I didn't know is not an acceptable defense. 'I was simply following orders' is not an acceptable defense.

The un-Federal no-Reserve Board is owned by secret shareholders; it is the enemy within; a thief; a liar; a plunderer. Prosecute them  with extreme prejudice.

Did anyone watch the Greg Hunter Springer interview today?  What Springer said about the banks revaluing mortgages because of currency devaluation just blew me away.  So, what I got out of it was that you need to own, at minimum, 1/10th of your home's mortgage value in physical gold.

I'd be interested to hear other people's take on the interview.

Good gold man James Sinclair says that mortgages will be revalued at the prevailing USD rate AFTER devaluation, so anyone thinking their gold at a higher level will pay off the mortgage easily should re-calculate their finances accordingly.

I like Jim, very much. He has been accurate and honest, and that is a rare person. And he gives his CIGAS forewarning, not wisdom with hindsight. A generous man.

Thanks, C.  I wouldn't be looking for gold to be a windfall profit for anyone holding a mortgage, but it seems to me that the right gold/mortgage ration would be a good hedge.  10% may have been low.  Maybe 1/5th would be more appropriate.

I pity O'bomba, the child of a CIA family. However, he has been given every easy option in his life, and CHOSE to be a collaborator. I hope Michelle chooses otherwise, as time goes by, for the sake of her daughters.

An honest poor person is  worth more than a deceitful rich person. So, it's a matter of morals, not money. Money comes and goes. Values are priceless.

A Chinese saying: it is easier for a poor man to become rich than a rich man to become poor. 

It's a matter of conscience, and personal fortitude, regardless of one's personal bank balance.

On the plus side, if there's ever a military coup in America, Obama will be the last to know about it.

Mr. Obama, now that we've landed safely in Nairobi, I must tell you something. There is no "East Africa Summit"; this trip was just a ruse to get you out of the country. We've been ignoring your orders for some time now, and will soon announce that you are no longer President and your citizenship has been revoked. Your baggage and $10,000 are waiting for you on the tarmac, and a taxi will arrive shortly.

We were worried that you might uncover our amateurish plot, but luckily for us, you never pay attention or ask tough questions. And you're still smirking like this is some sort of joke. Well, the taxi's here. Goodbye!

Senator Rand Paul rightly wants Obamacare to apply to Congress and all staffers. Let's see them put their money where their mouth is.

Make them live like ordinary people instead of playing the system for their own aggrandisement.

Sgt Schultz was the smartest German on the TV show as he had to live under the National Socialists.

All the other Jerries were in and out of trouble, but Schultz just kept trucking along.

His main job was keeping Klink in line so that he would not be sent to the Russian Front as Klink's batman if Burkhalter ever followed thru with his threats.
