Narcissist in Power

 

It is clear that Joe Biden is a narcissist. The revelations on his son’s laptop and in his daughter’s diary put this beyond question.

Why do Biden’s children have this odd and seemingly self-destructive tendency to leave their secrets lying around? 

It is a cry for help. It is a way to cry for help without being held by the narcissist to blame. 

Ashley Biden’s diary reveals at least a strong suspicion of pedophilic incest. 

This is a common feature of a dysfunctional family.

We think of narcissism as self-love; but what is “self”? Narcissists can be self-destructive. Better to see it as addiction to one’s desires, one’s vices. Sex is pleasurable. A child of the opposite sex readily available behind closed doors makes a target of opportunity.

Another child, readily available behind closed doors, makes a convenient target to vent your bad feelings. It seems, however, that Biden at least did not have this malicious streak. He also had enough self-control, or cunning, not to mess himself up with drugs or alcohol or public scandal.

Scapegoats will be considered wrong no matter what they do. But to those children not selected as scapegoats narcissists are likely to pass on the ethic of indulging every desire. Indeed, this will be encouraged. Children of narcissists therefore often themselves become narcissists. We see Ashley’s and Hunter’s sex addiction and drug addictions.

A narcissist will lie convincingly whenever it is to their advantage. What they desire to be true is more important than the truth. Biden has shown this tendency throughout his career.

A narcissist will worship his own body. It is, after all, the instrument of pleasure. He will expect others to adore it as well. Hear Biden talk fondly about how the hair stands up on his legs, and children like to stroke it. Witness Hunter’s endless naked selfies.

Narcissists are almost always personally charming. Because they lack morals, they are free to say whatever seems in their interest to say. Find someone who has no enemies, and you have probably found a narcissist.

As Confucius said, “If a man has no enemies at court, it is necessary to make enquiries.”

It is therefore alarming how everyone around Washington claims that Joe Biden is a nice guy personally.

Remarkable how the media and the FBI run interference for him, trying to suppress and ignore all the evidence. But this is a familiar phenomenon when dealing with narcissists: the flying monkeys.

At the same time, many call Trump a narcissist. Trump’s kids are evidently well-adjusted, personally happy and successful. Trump is accused of constantly lying. To the contrary, unlike Biden, he is strikingly truthful: he says what he thinks. Lots of people love him, lots of people hate him. This is the sure sign of a man of principle. 

Rather than a narcissist or bully, Trump is a man who stands up to narcissists and bullies. Unlike most of us, he refuses to be a kapo or a flying monkey.

That is why we hate him. He won’t play the game. He is a threat to the narcissists, and he shames the rest of us. 

We are, most of us, cowards. Narcissists will go great lengths to get what they want. If you oppose them, they will set up an infernal howl. If possible, they will bully you. So most of us go along with them immediately, and even help them destroy others. If we do not, we fear ourselves becoming the scapegoat.

It works this way in a dysfunctional family, and it works this way in a dysfunctional nation.

So all the flying monkey gang up against Trump.

We are in a particularly bad situation now, because for several generations, the “experts” have been telling us the most important thing is to make sure children have “self-esteem.” That is, are coached towards narcissism.

Now we have a critical mass, and all hell is breaking loose. And few are available to stop it.

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

Hunter Biden and Narcissism

 

It is wrong to think of a cause for narcissism. Narcissism is a personal choice. There are, however, circumstances that can tempt one to it.

One is having a highly successful parent. There are two relevant Chinese proverbs here: “Greatness costs a family three generations”; and “a happy family is one in which the son is smarter than the father.” 

The Chinese pay a lot of attention to family. They know.

Imagine the situation of a son of a particularly successful father. Imagine, say, Hunter Biden. What their father has accomplished looks beyond their abilities, so they give up trying early. And they may be right. Genius is rare; if their father is a genius, they may simply not have the mental powers to do as well as their father did. 

In Hunter Biden’s case, nobody can accuse his father of genius. But Joe Biden rose well above his level of competence through luck. Hunter Biden cannot expect to have such luck. 

In such a case, the son’s ego must suffer. Whatever they can accomplish, with their inferior mental equipment, it will look like failure, to them and to their parents. The bar is set too high.

The temptation then is not just to go limp and not try anything, but to retreat into a personal fantasy in which they really are brilliant and capable. This is narcissism: in addition to elevating the self, it assumes to the self godlike powers, to create “reality.” 

Such a person will also have an eternal chip on their shoulder, against all those who do not recognize their greatness, or seem to challenge it by their mere existence. They are likely to have a grudge against the impressive parent, in the first place; but a secret or concealed grudge, for the sake of their self-interest. They are likely to have a grudge against their children, who, carrying the same genetics as the genius parent, are liable to excel them. The mythological model here is Cronus, who castrates his father, then devours his sons. Three generations. The Bible too says, “the sins of the fathers are visited upon the sons unto the third or fourth generation.”

They will have a grudge against anyone who does anything impressive. 

I have seen this dynamic many times. It is not the inevitable origin of a narcissist; being spoiled seems more common. But it produces an especially malicious form of narcissism: an angry narcissism with a sense of grievance.

Naked and Afraid

 

Francis Dashwood, founder of the Hellfire Club

Rumours are rife on the Internet that Hunter Biden’s abandoned hard drive includes images of him not just smoking crack, but having sex with underage girls.

When, during his recent “town hall,” Trump was asked to unequivocally denounce Q-Anon, he avoided doing so. He claimed he did not know that much about them, but that they were against pedophilia. And so was he.

That sounds as though the rumours are true. If Trump knew that there were photos of Hunter Biden having sex with underage girls that were soon going to come out, he could not say Q-Anon was entirely wrong.

It seems weird that so many powerful men would have a thing about sex with underage girls; yet we know already about Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile ring. We know many prominent people were involved. And we know, surely, that Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself. That implies a powerful conspiracy.

We know there were things called Hellfire Clubs in the past. Prominent people would meet for various scandalous activities; we do not really know who or what, but we know the clubs were real. The facile assumption is that they did this because they could get away with it; perhaps also to show that they were above the law, and so above the common rabble. But this also would build an intense group identity, with ample opportunity for blackmail should anyone stray from the fold.

It seems only too probable that such a group would form in any elite at any time. Only their individual consciences would prevent it, and any who lack such a conscience could quickly take over from those who had one, thanks to their ability to work secretly together.

If this is real, this would explain Trump Derangement Syndrome: the problem would be that Trump was never a member, and so cannot be controlled. And may expose them all.

How could such a conspiracy last for very long without someone blowing their cover, you object?

But then, we know this has happened in the past. And perhaps somebody has blown that whistle. Isn’t that what Q is claiming to be doing?

I wonder whether that was something Stanley Kubrick was doing, too, with Eyes Wide Shut. Pity he died immediately after finishing that film …

This would explain why the anti-Trumpers have been going to such extraordinary measures to defeat Trump, and now to suppress the Biden revelations. They are spending a lot of their credibility here. It makes no business sense for the social media platforms to be acting as they are: they are driving away content creators and consumers, and almost demanding regulatory authorities come in and legislate. What could be worth it? High-ranking civil servants are compromising their cushy positions to battle Trump—violating their expected ethic of self-preservation at all costs. Mainstream media are squandering the coinage by which they trade, that people can trust them for the news.

It looks as though only the need to suppress some major scandal in which many of them are implicated could be worth this.
