Okay, by now, most everyone knows the profile of a "sociopath." We have seen enough 20/20 Investigations, and profiles on the History Channel, et cetera. The information is readily available to anyone with a computer, as well. So this isn't brand new information... or is it?
Yes, it is.
We have been studying the psyche of the sociopath (over time), and that is great, but we have glossed over the part that gets almost everyone into trouble where this subject is concerned, and that is the appearance... the aesthetics of the sociopath.
Now, when there are documentaries airing on this subject, they do bring up [that] those sociopaths like to "blend in," which is how they get away with what they get away with. Whatever manipulation game they are playing, they get away with it (for so long) because they are generally accepted into the community (and society as a whole.). Nobody ever sees them, because they are "wolves in sheep's clothing." The ability to assimilate and conform to society's "norms" is essential for the sociopath's survival.
Here is the literal definition of sociopath: "someone who behaves in a dangerous or violent way towards other people and does not feel guilty about such behavior."
(source: Merriam-Webster Learner's Dictionary: http://www.learnersdictionary.com/...)
Okay, this is rather specific. Although, the definition of "dangerous" and "violent" can be debated... so there is some gray area (in there) for today's sociopath to exploit, but if you can see the danger and potential violence (or 'violent acts') coming from one's actions, you can rest assure they are a sociopath. Because, their lack of conscience is the tool needed to achieve those sinister actions they wish to utilize.
These "people" assimilate to what society deems "normal" or even "encouraged."
Remember, Ted Bundy was a "well-respected attorney." And, John Wayne Gacy was not only a construction contractor (owned his own business), but a "philanthropist" as well. A really swell guy! Someone you would trust with your daughter or sister... or brother, at their own peril, of course.
People look up to these sociopaths. Kids are encouraged to be one. People have eyes but do not use them. People have the ability for intuition, but never use it, unless they want to exploit it for its own sake, for the bolstering of themselves, which is a borderline sociopath behavior trait as well. And, a lot of times, people do see this stuff but choose to ignore it out of indifference and not wanting to put forth the energy to tackle such a challenge (i.e. 'pick your battles'), or they are fearful of the potential outcome, because the fear of losing their life or stuff is just too daunting.
Now let's talk about the Downtown [Berkeley] Business Association, and what they are trying to do: I do not have a problem with beautification. I do not have a problem with trying to help businesses do better in the community. However, when those businesses group-up, and then try and systematically remove (or, 'get rid of') Homeless and Mentally Disabled American Citizens, they are sociopaths. If you are blaming the financial collapse of our national economy on those two groups of people, you are a sociopath.
There is no way around it.
The collapse of our financial system has nothing at all to do with the mentally handicapped, street kids, street artists, drug addicts, alcoholics, et cetera. These folks are a result (or 'bi-product') of that collapsed system, brought down by (Major League) Professional Sociopaths, a lot of them. And, as I have been chronicling, a lot of them are just lost (puppy) kids who haven't figured out what their life's purpose is yet, because of some sort of trauma they received in their home lives. All of this stuff is not so simple. It's not so cut-and-dry, black-and-white. Life rarely is that simple. And, the case of the homeless, mentally handicapped (we society put out there [on those streets]), street kids and artists alike, they are the result of this farcical nonsense all Our Slave Masters have bestowed upon Us All, and not the other way around!
So, what do these Sociopaths (DBA) wanna do as a result of all of this insanity? They want to "'get rid' of 'them.'" That's right, they want "them" moved. They want "them" out of here (downtown Berkeley.). They don't care where they go, just that they go. Well, the world does not work this way. I know that in Sociopathsville this is the "norm," but where I live... it is not. What better description to this nonsense is there? I tried thinking about it, too. And, every time, I come right back to: "sociopath."
How else do you describe the systematic removal of American Citizens, because you are either too ignorant to the realities of Our situation. Or, do see the realities, but are using this platform/euphemism ('cleaning up the city') to "'get rid' of 'them'" anyway, which just puts you in Scum-Sucking-Asshole Realm, too. Which just means you're a bigot, too. What a great profile you have, business people.
And, what do these folks look like? Well, I have posted their photo in a recent column... and I will post their photos in this piece as well. Everyone should see what a sociopath in the 21st Century looks like. They wear business suits... and casual wear, as well. A couple days ago, two of Block By Block's Kentucky Office People took mine and others photo... and those Cats were wearing golf wear stuff. I know because I golf. Yeah, another stereotype bites the dust. And, before I hit the streets, I had a 10 handicap (Stop laughing, Ritch!).
When I pressed those two Sociopaths to why they took my photo, they stammered. They couldn't answer any of my questions. Simple ones, too. Like, "What is so damned interesting about me that you had to take my picture?" and, "Who do you work for?" They couldn't answer those two questions for me. They could've even told me to "eat shit," and I would've handled it. However, they said nothing. They also looked at one another as if to convey, "How does this guy know who we work for?" after I brought up Block By Block and Kentucky.
Another guy, a day later, was watching me. I pressed him to why he was staring at me, but he meandered off. I followed him, two blocks. I allowed him to see me following him because I wanted to force his hand. I wanted him to be forced into making a mistake; tipping his hand. And he did. Once at the corner, he meandered some more. Then, he got into his car, so I walked about five cars behind him and began to write down his license plate number... that's when he got out of the car and approached me, "Hey, need a 'donation'?" This was an obvious line of bullshit. I could tell how he forced it out his pie hole. So I shot back, "Fuck your 'donation,' who do you work for?!" He backed off a bit, and feigned surprise. I'm telling you, he was lying. I am good at spotting liars. I can tell, just like when a girl tells me she has a "boyfriend," I will let that go for a few moments, so the subject is long gone from her mind, and then I will ask, "So, what is your 'boyfriend's' name?" Now, if they answer right away, they most likely have a boyfriend (unless they're a sociopath, and have no problems lying.). If they instead utter, "Uh, oh, um..." and then four seconds later utter, "Tim!?"
So I spotted this liar quite easily. Now, I am betting some of you are thinking I am nuts. That, I merely accosted a tourist trying to have a nice day in Berkeley... and I would believe that as well, except for the fact this guy said a couple things that did not help his case. Remember, the day prior, I noticed those two Bastards casing me, and then taking my photo, and then saw them later, walking with the property manager of the entire block. So, just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they ain't out to get me. What this guy did and said next gave him away. He yelled, "Get out of town, now!" Now, I know "get out of town" can be an idiom. I get that... but that is not how he said it. And the addition of the word "now" just made the point even more, that he wanted me to leave town. But, for what reason? Only those I'm pissing in the face of would want me gone, right?
Then, right before I left him, he yelled, "You've been drinking! I smell alcohol!" Okay, and that is great and everything, but he was a good fifteen to twenty feet away from me when he said that, so he couldn't have "smelled alcohol!" And, if he knew that I had consumed alcohol, that would mean he was standing there an hour prior, when I took a couple drinks off my buddy's hooch. Because that is when I had a couple drinks. So the guy was watching me, for over an hour. And that wasn't even the saddest part of this. The saddest part of this tale is when he said to me, "You have those 'sex' signs! Trying to have 'sex with women' hitting on them all day long! You're 'sick'!"
Okay, I'm 43-years-old, single, have a healthy sex drive, have no issues "getting it up, keeping it going," or, "finishing," and am attracted to females... so much so I hit on them, daily, trying to get them to take me home, maybe... and I'm, what, "sick"? No, I'd say that's "healthy," and I'd say he was the "sick" one, if he doesn't think I am "normal" in that respect. I yelled back, "Maybe you should head back to Kentucky, so you can have sex with little boys! Since you think having sex with women is 'sick'!"
Maybe he should move to New Guinea? More on that in a bit.
Sociopaths will make everyone believe they are doing the "right thing." That what they are doing can be considered "normal." However, that is just a ruse. Just like their (DBA's) assertion that they care about "the arts." This is what is on their business cards: "Promoting Arts & Commerce in the Heart of the City." I am laughing audibly right now... people here at Tully's Coffee are looking at me. That's okay, they're probably child-molesting sociopaths anyway... they are wearing suits. Back to this quote: what a joke. They only promote "commerce." They could care less about "artists," because I am an artist, and so is Teddy Lou, my buddy and artist friend.
The Block By Block Captain called the police on Teddy's dog "Luna" the other day. Now, Luna can be a little rambunctious at times, but she is never much of a threat. She isn't a big dog in the first place. But sometimes she can bark at people... especially sociopaths. The Block By Block Captain was riding his brand new Segue and apparently, Luna lunged at his new toy and barked at him. She (Luna) didn't bite him, or even catch his clothing in her teeth... she lunged and barked. Teddy handled it, but the Fascist called the police anyway, and now Teddy has been given a warning that Luna would be "taken away" from him if this happened again.
Now, I get that dogs cannot do shit like this. Fine. I get that. However, saying that, nothing happened. Nobody got hurt. So, for this Fascist to then call the police over it screams of harassment. Plus, who is this guy to call anyone about anything? He's a foreman for a janitorial service, correct? So why is he involving himself in legal matters? And why does he get to ride in a motorized vehicle down the public sidewalk when citizens will get a ticket if they ride their bikes on the same stretch of sidewalk? Are Block By Block employees now exempt from local laws and ordinances, too?
How much latitude has the city of Berkeley given these clowns? And, why is there no mention of Block By Block on this guy's (Lance Goree's) card? There is only the DBA's name and description on this card, along with the guy's email address: "lgoree@downtownberkeley.org," and phone numbers: "W: 510.549.2230 x13 and C: 510.529.5175." So, if any of you would like to call him, or the DBA, or email them, and ask them what the hell they're doing, be my guest.
This is the systematic harassment of American Citizens. And, during one of the worst financial times in our nation's history, too. Where is the tolerance here, people? Where is it? It's not there because sociopaths do not have the ability for empathy or compassion. And any attempts at reaching out, this late in the game, would be nothing more than posturing and window-dressing. False appearances is what they do best... it's what sociopaths do best; keep up the illusion for as long as humanly possible, to achieve their "Final Solution."
They simply do not care if someone is not "economically viable." And, if you're not (economically viable), you're in the way. Again, the people the DBA are trying to remove from their eyesight have nothing at all to do with their financial woes. The economy collapsed because of Corporate Greed and Political Corruption. And the last time I checked, the poor and homeless do not have a lobbyist in D.C., funneling millions to corrupted "elected officials." So, We aren't the problem... but They sure are.
Those still blaming the wrong people, because you do not have the stones (that is 'balls' to the Squares) to do what is correct and righteous, are being noted. You are being exposed. The light of day on this subject is not only demanded, but it is necessary. It is necessary because we need to clip this in the bud, before it grows to a pound of male garbage weed, and infects the rest of the crop of females.
There is an article my friend "Peach" (a.k.a. 'Laura Leath') showed me just yesterday that correlates to this subject. Oh, and for the record, Peach is the inspiration for this piece. Her vociferous scream woke me up last night as I contemplated all this nonsense. Her English teacher at Berkeley City College prompted the class to write about this obvious atrocity:
"The Semen Warriors of New Guinea is an article about how things can go terribly wrong, if unchecked or allowed to exist because of "cultural tolerance." Here is an excerpt from that very article: "Bizarre homosexual rites are practiced extensively by numerous Melanesian tribesmen in New Guinea and adjacent islands. Young boys must 'accumulate' semen for several years, either by regularly receiving anal penetration, or by swallowing the ejaculations of older males they fellate. This ancient custom springs from a religious belief system that regards sperm as the essential conduit of masculine energy; puny boys, they believe, are only transformed into virile warriors if they ingest large quantities of sperm.
'If you boys don't drink semen, you won't grow big,' a Sambian elder tells prepubescent initiates. 'You should not be afraid of "eating penises" ... it is just like the milk of your mother's breast. You can ingest it all of the time and grow quickly. A boy must be ... inseminated... If [he] doesn't eat semen, he remains small and weak.'
Ten to twenty percent of all tribes in Melanesia -- an Oceania region stretching 3,000 miles from Irian Jaya to Fiji -- have mandatory 'boy-inseminating' practices, claims Herdt. Boys here are separated from their mothers when they are 7-14 years old, and installed in 'bachelor's houses.'"

This article demonstrates how, if you allow something to be "normal, culturally," that even the most abhorrent of acts, such as sodomizing young males into a cycle of forced, homosexuality at a young age, is acceptable. And, if you go on to read more, you will see how they systematically keep those boys (and then men) in that same, twisted, disgusting cycle of "penis eating" and "sodomizing."
The Downtown [Berkeley] Business Association is trying to sodomize the Homeless and Mentally Disabled American Citizens, only they are doing it far more subtle than did the Semen Warriors of New Guinea. The DBA isn't using lube, and never kissed us, first. In fact, they never even asked.
Isn't that rape?
This is what happens when you allow intolerance to run around on Segues, doing shitty work, just for the sake of the ruse they are promoting. It looks like Bogota, Columbia out here, with half-painted poles, and bright, neon-yellow jackets... as though we need to see them. As though they are being "transparent," when it's just another case of "hiding in plain sight." Just like glossing over the planter yesterday. I asked a friend of mine to look at it, from a distance, and she said, "Yeah, it looks great!" and then I asked her to look a little closer... take a better, more detailed look. And then I took her over, and I showed her that most of those plants were not watered, for probably a couple days before implantation. And then the job of planting them screamed of "amateur hour." Plants were put in sideways, almost. They weren't planted the right depths, either. Some were too high up in the hole, and some were too buried, and had too much top soil and mulch over them... and that smothers the plant's growth potential.
All this stuff is emblematic of the overall problem. When you just look at something superficially, you can be fooled into believing that something is good. However, all you have to do is look a little closer. Dig a little deeper. You can see the obvious obfuscation they are pulling.
They (DBA) are guilty of intolerance toward the fellow struggling human being. They are guilty of having a desire, and an implementation tool, to "get rid" of people, rather than actually addressing the issue and dealing with it. They are guilty of lying to the public about their intentions. Or, at the very least, lack of information about what is going on... guilty by omission.
Like the phrase "property owner" and how they voted for the beautification of the downtown area. That is a deceptive term, because those "property owners" are primarily "business owners" who had a financial-vested interest in passing the amendment that brought in Block By Block in the first place.
Obfuscation by lack of information or omission.
And, if you don't see all of this stuff... if you don't feel for those less fortunate yourself, and could care less about what happens to all of those I speak of in this piece... you may lack empathy... you may lack compassion, for your fellow (struggling) human being... you may just be a sociopath....
