This seems to happen when a particular ethnic group's elites do not have the playground of a fully sovereign state to rise in and exert their minds on. Knowledge of its nature and its insidious effect on both individuals and groups - is the only antidote.A superb book to jump start the science of Ponerology (utilization of psychiatry, psychology, sociology to study how clinical psychopaths economically and socially stagnate/lead to disaster societies that they rule)Īndrew Lobaczewski joins a seemingly endless list of brilliant Polish expats who only found their place in the sun abroad. Morality and humanism cannot long withstand the predations of this evil. Lobaczewski s approach analyzes the common factors that lead to the propagation of man s inhumanity to man. Political Ponerology is a study of the founders and supporters of oppressive political regimes. It is poignant in its more literary passages revealing the immense suffering experienced by the researchers contaminated or destroyed by the disease they were studying.
Political Ponerology is shocking in its clinically spare descriptions of the true nature of evil. After half a century of suppression, this book is finally available. Zbigniew Brzezinski blocked its publication. In 1984, the third and final copy was written from memory by the last survivor of the original researchers: Andrew Lobaczewski.
Its receipt was never acknowledged - the manuscript and all valuable data lost. The second copy, painfully reassembled by scientists working under impossible conditions of violence and repression, was sent via courier to the Vatican.
