This is not diagnostically useful for two reasons:

  • easy to lie about

  • not specific to sociopathy / narcissistic personality disorder

    but it's quite common use "I" in external monologues (talk about whatever you want), but their own name internally.

    Detached, emotionally numb, clinical, precise, virtuosic.

    See if you can find this book, excellent LI5 read.

> Do you believe that people that drink human blood is a real thing? Why or why not?

They do. The world has 7 billion people in it, and a few of those people will believe they are anything, from dogs to vampires. The human mind is very flexible.

> Do you agree that the CIA / MKULTRA has connections to cult activity - such as the Jim Jones cult?

The wikipedia page of the Jim Jones cult conspiracies has 3 conspiracies; incorrect/rising body count, CIA involvement, and Russia. The body count was probably low to begin with and grew as people found more corpses. That always happens during tragedies. The CIA probably did have people that at minimum knew the Jim Jones situation was likely to spiral out of control. Did the CIA influence it, or just let it happen. Could be either.

The Russia bit... well, that is Russia just being Russia and making stuff up.

> Are you familiar with the Franklin Cover Up? The 80's were a particularly weird time? Maybe. Why do you say this?

The vast majority of the 80's Satanic panic was a combination of media hype and bad therapeutic techniques. Ironically enough, a lot of the problematic memory therapy used techniques very similar to CIA MKULTRA interrogation methods.

> Kathy Sorenson or even Fiona Barnett

I haven't specifically looked into either.

> I couldn't access the above paper in your link - not even an abstract.

I grant you the secret of scihub, use it wisely. Paper.

If you want another CIA MK ULTRA link, look at Charles Manson and the CIA.

The world does contain real conspiracies... they just don't involve psychic powers, flat earths, aliens, big foot and reptilians... its worse. Because "people are monsters".

you sound like a right twat, condescending to someone younger, arrogant because you live in a shithole. http://youtu.be/VtkRM0LSwx8 have a video, seeing as you're so keen to throw them around, and i'll buy you this book too. it's only 1 cent, used.

> So far no-one has come forth saying that they were a victim or that a loved one was a victim of Comet Pizza's alleged sex-trafficking ring. Literally no one.

Give it time. Once it's sunk into the public consciousness a little more we'll see people coming forward; there's still a substantial group of unlicensed therapists who practice recovered memory hypnosis techniques, and there's true believers embedded in various police forces and prosecutors offices who went to the old training seminars. Police officers in the US and UK were being given 'cult awareness training' and 'ritual crimes training' and so on well into the 00's, maybe they still are in some places. It's difficult to understate just how deeply the ideas that fuelled the satanic panic were embedded in many areas of therapeutic practice and law enforcement. There were some hints of it that came up to cloud the revelations surrounding the Jimmy Savile affair in the UK (unlikely reports of cloaked necrophiliac orgies in hospital morgues and so on) and there have been plenty of dubious and false accusations mixed in with the real ones there. This book is a good primer. It's very hard for a lot of people to take a critical approach to this sort of thing, given the outrage people feel over child abuse and the very real sagas of abuse and cover-up that have emerged over the last twenty years (the catholic church and whatnot). The important thing is to try and look at the patterns that emerge from the real cases and the fake cases.
