It seems that these days, and indeed for as long as anyone can remember, psychopaths and sociopaths (the former are born, the latter are made) have long been grossly overrepresented in positions of power. The higher the echelons of the power hierarchy, the greater prevalence of psychopaths/sociopaths there are. And it seems to have only gotten that much worse in recent decades in fact, and more global as well.
(Garden-variety psychopath, knife optional)
So why is that? The answer, it seems, is patriarchy. The following article from 2014 is a conversation between the legendary Guru Rasa Von Werder and great author William Bond, originally published on Rasa's Embodiment of God website. (My interspersed comments, as Ajax the Great, are in red.)
PSYCHOPATH PATRIARCHAL LEADERS by William Bond…..comments Rasa Von Werder….. 4 30 14
If we want to understand why we live in a world of conflict — wars, violence, abuse, poverty and suffering, then we have to go back to basics. What is undisputed is that men rule our world and have done so for thousands of years. Male-rule is what feminists call patriarchy – masculine rule – and masculinity (as defined in our present society) is aggression, force, violence and intimidation.
AJAX THE GREAT: Absolutely true indeed. Truer words were never spoken.
RASA: LET ME JUST ADD HERE THAT ALL THE STATISTICS – EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT WISE, ARE POINTING TO WOMEN RISING, MEN FALLING BEHIND. THE FUTURE IS WOMEN, IT IS MATRIARCHY. HOLD ON, KEEP PRAYING AND BELIEVING, WOMEN WILL RULE THE WORLD, MEN WILL FALL. THEY ARE GOING EXTINCT. THEIR OWN ACTIONS HAVE BROUGHT DEATH UPON THEM.
AJAX SAYS: Indeed, Women are rising, while men are falling away and falling apart, and have been so for a while now.
RASA SAYS: THIS BEGS, FOR ME, A NEW DEFINITION OF “MASCULINE.” I POSIT AS A MASCULINE MAN, FOR INSTANCE, SAINT REV. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. THERE WAS A REAL MAN, WHO RISKED HIS LIFE TO SAVE OTHERS, AND GAVE HIS LIFE AS JESUS DID. I READ HIS BOOK “THE STRENGTH TO LOVE,” WHICH WAS ABOUT LOVING THOSE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THEY BOMB YOUR HOUSE. HE KNEW THE MEANING OF LOVE, HE WAS STRONG. THAT’S A REAL MAN, OR A REAL WOMAN. BULLIES ARE NOT REAL MEN, THEY ARE COWARDS, THEY ARE WEAK, CRUEL, AND THEY WILL BE REMOVED AWAY LIKE “THE CHAFF WHICH THE WIND BLOWETH AWAY”. THEY ARE ALL BLUFF AND BLUSTER, BUT IN ETERNAL LIFE, THEY HAVE NO SUBSTANCE EXCEPT BURNING IN HELL.
AJAX SAYS: Indeed, bullies have what is now known as "toxic masculinity", which is detrimental to everyone, and they are also cowards. They are certainly not real men!
We can see this in the way male animals behave in the rutting season. Every spring animals like bulls, rams and stags fight each other for dominance and access to females. In these fights the winner takes all, the biggest and strongest males gain access to all females, while the weaker ones get zero. A successful stag is not only bigger and stronger, but aggressive, ruthless and selfish. Sharing with other stags is not an option; there can be only one winner who takes everything for himself.
RASA SAYS: YES, INDEED, GOOD ANALOGY. HOWEVER, I TAKE NOTE THAT ANIMALS KILL BY THEIR INSTINCT, TAKE HAREMS THROUGH VIOLENCE, BUT THERE IT ENDS. HUMAN MALES ARE NOT ANIMALISTIC, BUT “SUBHUMAN,” AS THEY NOT ONLY FOLLOW INSTINCTS BUT THEY ARE SENSELESSLY SADISTIC. ANIMALS DO NOT RAPE TINY ONE DAY OLD BABIES (AND MANY ARE KILLED) OR SMALL INFANTS….THEY DO NOT PLAN MURDER, THEY DO NOT DO “GENOCIDES.” THEY DO NOT, IN ORDER TO GAIN PLUNDER, WIPE OUT THOUSANDS OR HOPE TO MURDER MILLIONS. THEY DO NOT USE THEIR MINDS TO CREATE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION SUCH AS ATOM BOMBS, INVENTION OF AIDS PUT SECRETLY INTO VACCINES; THEY DO NOT PLAN TO MICROCHIP MILLIONS AND USE THEM AS SLAVES, THEY DO NOT CREATE CONCENTRATION CAMPS WITH OVENS READY TO EVAPORATE PEOPLE AT 2,500 DEGREES. THEY DO NOT SKIN OTHER ANIMALS ALIVE TO GET PAID FOR THEIR PELTS. THEY DO NOT PLAN FRANKENSTEIN CROPS LIKE GMO’S NOR DO THEY PLAN TO MAKE HEALTHY FOODS ILLEGAL. HUMAN MALES HAVE TAKEN THIS INSTINCT TO THE POINT OF DEMONIC SUCH AS HAS NEVER EXISTED – THAT IS WHY MOTHER GOD IS RENDERING HUMAN MALES EXTINCT.
AJAX SAYS: Very well-said, Rasa. Indeed, sub-human or demonic is the best way to describe such evil and sadistic behavior that goes way, way beyond natural instincts. And even many of those who are not so extreme are still willing to lie, cheat, steal, and even kill for filthy lucre.
We see the same in patriarchal societies. The vast majority of the wealth and power of any country is possessed by a small minority of people. Like rutting stags, the winner takes all, while the losers, the poor, get “the crumbs from the rich man’s table”. Men, also like stags, are violent, because the boundaries of any country are decided by war. For this reason, all countries have to have a strong military against invasion.
AJAX SAYS: There are in fact more than enough resources in the world for everyone on this planet to have a decent standard of living, yet poverty and extreme inequality remain. Why? Patriarchy features winner-take-all economics, and reverse Robin Hood economics. Rob from the poor, give to the rich, and torpedo what's left of the middle class until there are only two classes left: master, and serf. And plenty of violence and war, which enriches the oligarchs.
In contrast, as the late great Buckminster Fuller once noted, the feminine paradigm of leadership would reject men's outdated, inane, and insane self-fulfilling prophecy that war and scarcity are somehow inevitable.
Until then, mechaninzation is no match for the Machiavellian machinations of the moneyed elites--most of them MEN.
RASA: IT IS A PATTERN. UNTIL AND UNLESS WOMEN TAKE OVER COMPLETELY THIS WILL GO ON AS IF BUT HALF THE WORLD IS PATRIARCHAL, THE OTHER HALF HAS TO HAVE ARMIES TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THEIR VIOLENCE.
AJAX SAYS: Very true. Certainly, abolishing the military entirely would be very naive and foolish so long as other countries remain patriarchal and maintain their own militaries. Though in the USA, we can certainly downsize by cutting our "defense" spending in half and we would still have the strongest fighting force in the world. Because currently it is not used so much for defense, as it is wars of aggression for plunder and empire, to enrich the psychopathic oligarchs at the top. See "War Is A Racket" by Major General Smedley Butler, truly a must-read for everyone.
In any patriarchal society – where men dominate – we have the rule of force, aggression and violence. If “masculine” people rule our world, then off course it is going to be a brutal where “might is right”. If we want a loving, caring world, then the only way to achieve this is to be ruled by loving and nurturing women.
The abuse of women and children is going to happen because they are smaller and weaker than fully grown men. Men use can use their greater size and strength to get what they want from smaller and weaker people. The psychiatrist Sigmund Freud hinted at this in his Oedipus complex theory, where the son wants to kill his own father, and possess his mother. The actual reason for this is probably that the son was being abused by the father and hates him. He also wants to protect his mother from abuse by the father, but Freud wasn’t allowed to say this. The tragedy of this is that the son, when he grows up, is likely to treat his own wife and children in exactly the same way.
Freud did write a paper on the physical and sexual abuse children suffered by their fathers and other male relations, but this paper was censored. To save his career, Freud no longer posited the theories but only hinted at them. Since then, things have changed with the rise of feminism. Women are now able to assert themselves and take more control over the children. As the result, men who beat their wives and physically/sexually abuse their children can now be sent to prison. As women gained power, children were protected from male abuse.
RASA SAYS: EXCELLENT POINT. UNTIL WOMEN ARE EMPOWERED, THEY ARE LIMITED AS TO WHAT THEY CAN DO. WHEN WOMEN GO TO THE JUDICIAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, IT IS POLITICIZED AGAINST THEM, IN FAVOR OF MEN. I HAVE BEEN THEIR VICTIM. WHEN A WOMAN IS RAPED, THEY BLAME THE WOMAN. WHEN A CHILD IS RAPED, THEY REALLY DON’T CARE. IF ALL THE MEN WHO RAPE WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE PUT INTO PRISON, PROBABLY HALF OF ALL MALES WOULD BE INCARCERATED. MALES STICK UP FOR OTHER MALES. THE MALE POLICE PERSUADE WOMEN TO DROP CHARGES. MALE DA’S WON’T PROSECUTE CRIMINALS FOR INJURING OR RAPING WOMEN – IT HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. THIS IS CHANGING, BUT IT STILL EXISTS. IN MANY COUNTRIES, WOMEN HAVE NO RIGHTS. THEY ARE SLAVES AND THEY ARE SAVAGED. LOOK AT THE THEOCRATIC MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
OBVIOUSLY, ALL THE STATISTICS PROVE WOMEN ARE RISING, MEN ARE FALLING. BUT IT IS THE WESTERN WOMEN THAT ARE RISING, AND THEY WILL HAVE TO PICK UP THE REST OF THE WOMEN IN OPPRESSED COUNTRIES. IT WILL TAKE TIME. WE WILL DO IT.
AJAX SAYS: Indeed, having male leaders in charge of prosecuting male violence against Women and children, is like the fox guarding the henhouse. The "good ol' boy" network is all too real, as is the victim-blaming mentality. Things are slowly but surely improving in that regard, with significant declines in rape, domestic violence, and child abuse statistics since the early 1990s, but we still have a very long way to go before we are anywhere close to a truly "civilized" society. Women really need to take over. Yesterday.
The more males dominate a country, the more violent it becomes, as women, children and other men suffer violence, rape and abuse. In such a brutal world we end up with psychopaths running everything, as they are the most vicious and brutal.
An example of this would be Saddam Hussein, who ruled Iraq from 1979 to 2003. He became the leader as being a psychopath and had no qualms about killing or torturing people. In the eyes of many this made him a strong leader. In fact, people now claim that the people of Iraq suffer more from violence, since he was deposed by the USA, than while he was in power. This is because without a strong brutal leader, in this extreme patriarchal county, law and order has broken down. The whole of history is full of leaders like this, who take power and hold on to it, through violence and brutality.
Unfortunately, psychopaths not only exist in extreme patriarchal countries but in more moderate, democratic countries. In their book, “Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work”, by Paul Babiak, Ph.D., and Robert Hare, Ph.D. They point that in business, psychopaths are far more likely to be successful. The reason is that they have the ‘right’ qualities to succeed in a male dominated world. To quote. –
“Several abilities – skills, actually – make it difficult to see psychopaths for who they are. First, they are motivated to, and have a talent for, ‘reading people’ and for sizing them up quickly. They identify a person’s likes and dislikes, motives, needs, weak spots, and vulnerabilities… Second, many psychopaths come across as having excellent oral communication skills. In many cases, these skills are more apparent than real because of their readiness to jump right into a conversation without the social inhibitions that hamper most people… Third, they are masters of impression management; their insight into the psyche of others combined with a superficial – but convincing – verbal fluency allows them to change their situation skillfully as it suits the situation and their game plan.”
This doesn’t only apply to businessmen; you only have to look at successful politicians to see the same thing. A politician in a patriarchal system has to be able to appear on TV and tell lies without any hint of shame or embarrassment. This means that being a psychopath is a big advantage in patriarchal politics.
Men off course invent all sorts of excuses to justify why we live in a world of injustice and violence. Patriarchal religions like to blame the Devil for all the harm men do. The big problem with this idea is that if God has created everything, then he made the Devil as well. So why would God make a person like the Devil, who opposes him? Religion also tries to blame women as well, in spite of the fact women are far less violent and far more caring than men.
RASA SAYS: MY OPINION OF THE DEVIL AND SATAN IS THE ORIGIN IS MEN, IT COMES FROM THEIR PSYCHE, THEIR ID. THEY HAVE UNLEASHED THE MILLIONS OR BILLIONS OF DEMONS ON THIS PLANET. IT COMES FROM THEIR LOWER CHAKRAS AND INSTINCTS. BUT THEY ARE WORSE THAN ANIMALS, THEY ARE SUBHUMAN, AS I ALREADY SAID. IT IS NOT ALIENS, IT’S HUMAN MEN. IF IT WAS ALIENS, WOMEN MIGHT BE AFFECTED – BUT THEY ARE NOT. WHY ONLY MEN? THE ALIENS ARE THE FALL GUY, THE EXCUSE, THEY ALWAYS HAVE AN EXCUSE. THEY TRY TO USE ANIMALS AS EXCUSES, THAT WE ARE VIOLENT AS THEY ARE. BUT OUR CLOSEST COUSINS ARE THE BONOBOS.
AJAX SAYS: That makes sense. According to Paul Levy and Jack D. Forbes, it is the "wetiko" mind-virus, the parasite of the mind and cancer of the soul. Essentially the same thing as Satan and demons.
CONSIDER THAT, WILLIAM BOND. INDEED THERE ARE BULLS AND STAGS. BUT OUR GENEOLOGY IS CLOSEST TO BONOBOS. THEY ARE MATRIARCHAL, THEY ARE HORNY, FRIENDLY, THEY SOLVE ALL CONFLICTS BY TOUCHING AND FEELING. THE MOTHERS RULE THE FAMILY AND SOCIETY, AND THEY ARE STRONG, AND THEY POSTURE, BUT THERE IS NO WAR. WHEN MALES INTIMIDATE FEMALES, THEY ARE MOBBED AND PREVENTED BY SEVERAL FEMALES, THEY CANNOT DOMINATE.
AJAX SAYS: Indeed, "make love, not war" is essentially how the bonobos live. That, and like the Robin Morgan quote, "sisterhood is powerful". We can really learn a lot from them.
Science tries to justify men’s selfishness and violence onto “evolution”. They claim that the violence of male animals is “survival of the fittest”; where the strongest and fittest males get to breed the next generation of animals. They totally ignore the female’s role in evolution. The fact is that the mother gives birth and cares for the young, and this is a far more important role in the survival of any species, than what males do.
RASA SAYS: WHAT A BRILLIANT POINT WILLIAM HAS MADE, THAT EVOLUTION IS NOT JUST ABOUT MEN, AS MEN WANT US TO BELIEVE. THE BEHAVIOR OF THE FEMALE WITH HER OFFSPRING IS MORE IMPORTANT!
AJAX SAYS: Brilliant indeed, as usual, William! You really hit the proverbial nail on the head. Even Darwin himself was apparently not a Social Darwinist at all.
Conspiracy theories try to blame secret societies like the Freemasons, the Illuminati or even alien reptiles for the ills of our world. The rich tend to blame the poor and the poor blame the rich, but few people will acknowledge the fact that as it is men who are ruling our world, then the problem must be male rulers.
RASA SAYS: ABSOLUTE LOGIC, ONCE AGAIN, OF WILLIAM BOND.
AJAX SAYS: BINGO. Psychopaths/sociopaths are completely ruthless since they have no conscience, and since the patriarchal paradigm rewards ruthlessness and aggression, then psychopaths/sociopaths will be the ones who inevitably rise to the top under male rule.
It must be obvious that any system that puts psychopaths in leadership positions is a bad arrangement. Yet, this is what patriarchy does all the time. Men are naturally aggressive and competitive, and this is not a real problem if they are kept under control. Unfortunately, when men rule our world the most violent, aggressive or devious men end up in positions of power.
RASA SAYS: SURE, IF WILLIAM BOND OR JESUS CHRIST RULED OUR SOCIETY WE’D HAVE A PEACEFUL AND LOVING WORLD.
AJAX SAYS: True. And Ajax the Great as well.
Patriarchy also breeds psychopaths. It has been discovered that many psychopaths had appalling childhoods. A case in point would be Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Saddam Hussein – all of whom were beaten mercilessly as children. Extreme patriarchal cultures encourage this, as they claim that abuse, “toughens up” boys and turns them into ‘real men’. Certainly turning a man into a psychopath makes him a good soldier, as he can kill without mercy. A more ordinary man is not such a good soldier, as he has qualms about killing the ‘enemy.’
AJAX SAYS: So very true, William! And you can add Pol Pot to that list (by his ruthless teachers) as well. It seems that "beating the devil out of 'em" is really more like beating the devil INTO 'em, which is what the sinister agenda of the demonic patriarchy really wants to do to turn boys, and thus men, into cannon fodder and "Good Germans" at best, and subhuman demonic zombie killers at worst, to do the bidding of the psychopathic oligarchs at the top.
RASA SAYS: GOOD POINT. BEING BRUTAL AND VIOLENT TOWARD MEN MAKES THEM SO, AND THEREFORE, OUR WORLD ENCOURAGES VIOLENCE THROUGH ALL MEDIA; GLORIFIES IT. THEY HAVE EXCUSES FOR THIS AS “ENTERTAINMENT,” AND “FREEDOM OF SPEECH,” BUT IT’S MORE THAN THAT. THEY WANT TO BREED DEMONS – MEN WITH NO FEELINGS WHO KILL WITHOUT MERCY.
If we do not want to be ruled by psychopaths then the obvious solution is for women to rule our world. It is known that psychopaths can be created by extreme abuse, and in a patriarchal society where women are physically smaller and weaker than the average male, they are far more likely to suffer abuse of all kinds. Yet, in-spite of this, there are still far less female psychopaths then male.
RASA SAYS: ANOTHER GOOD POINT THAT I FIRST HEARD FROM WILLIAM BOND. THE SAME ABUSE/VIOLENCE ON WOMEN DOES NOT ENGENDER THE SAME REACTION FROM WOMEN AS IT DOES MEN. IT’S THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BRAIN, THE INSTINCT. WOMEN HAVE A STRONGER INSTINCT TO GIVE LIFE, MEN LESS SO; THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE PROTECTORS SO THEY HAVE MORE VIOLENT TENDENCIES; BUT THESE MUST BE TEMPERED AND GUIDED RIGHTLY, NOT RUN AMUCK.
AJAX SAYS: I am not sure how much of this is nature versus nurture, but I would hazard a guess that it is a mixture of both. Genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger.
So it makes sense for us to be ruled by caring and nurturing females rather than aggressive males. We can see all over the world the more women are oppressed the more violent societies become. But in countries where women are empowered society is peaceful. When women are powerful, everyone benefits – bear in mind how brutal men are to other males. Abusive fathers appear in elite families as well as poor – men such as Stalin, Hitler and Saddam were brutalized.
The only way to overcome all these problems is to have women take over. It is true, there are caring men, but the psychos rise to the top — What psychopaths do is take acting lessons in how to appear loving and caring, then they are elected.
AJAX SAYS: So true. For thousands of years, the "good guys" have proven wholly incapable of defeating the bad guys on their own. If us fellas could do it, we would have already done it long ago. Even when a particularly notorious mass-murdering genocidal dictator like Hitler was defeated, that was achieved with the help of another, equally evil dictator, Stalin, who only gained strength afterwards and subsequently turned against the Allies after we no longer had a common enemy in the Nazis. Only Women can truly defeat all of the bad guys for good.
RASA SAYS: YOU CAN SEE LIARS ON TOP OF ALL GOVERNMENTS PRETENDING TO BE HELPING PEOPLE, AND THE PEOPLE BELIEVE THEIR LIES. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN HISTORIES. TAKE KIND HEROD TELLING THE MAGI TO LET HIM KNOW WHERE JESUS IS BORN SO HE TOO, CAN GO WORSHIP HIM. THEN HEROD SENDS OUT HIS SOLDIERS TO KILL ALL THE BOYS UNDER THE AGE OF TWO. HE EVEN DUPED THE WOMEN TO BRING THE CHILDREN TO HIS HEADQUARTERS SO THEY COULD BE FETED – THEY BROUGHT THEM ALL DECKED OUT IN GARLANDS OF FLOWERS, WHERE THE SOLDIERS STABBED AND SPEARED THEM TO DEATH. AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HEROD AND ALL THESE MALE LEADERS WHO KILL SO MANY PEOPLE? THEY GET WHAT THEY DESERVE EVENTUALLY BUT USUALLY ON EARTH, THEY, LIKE THE GODFATHER, DIE OF OLD AGE. BUT THE INNOCENT ARE KILLED. SO MUCH FOR JUSTICE ON EARTH, CERTAINLY DOESN’T EXIST IN A PATRIARCHAL WORLD.
AJAX SAYS: They give with one hand, and they take with the other. And they take plenty of lives in the process.
Yes, there are ruthless and deceiving women as well, but not in the same numbers as men. Women have a powerful maternal instinct and once this instinct is activated then she not only wants to love and care for children of her own, she has the same desire to care for other people’s children, to look after the sick, old people and animals. If we look at violence, we find that men commit over 99% of all acts of violence. The reason is that because as women bring life to our world and want to nurture it, so it is harder for women to be cruel and uncaring for others than with men.
The competitive and aggressive instincts of men make them totally unsuitable to rule our world; they instigate conflict, war and injustice. The maternal/ nurturing instincts of women enable them to run the family and the world – A world ruled by women would be fair, loving and caring.

RASA SAYS: LET ME JUST ADD HERE THAT ALL THE STATISTICS – EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT WISE, ARE POINTING TO WOMEN RISING, MEN FALLING BEHIND. THE FUTURE IS WOMEN, IT IS MATRIARCHY. HOLD ON, KEEP PRAYING AND BELIEVING, WOMEN WILL RULE THE WORLD, MEN WILL FALL. THEY ARE GOING EXTINCT. THEIR OWN ACTIONS HAVE BROUGHT DEATH UPON THEM.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Can I get an AMEN? So very true indeed. We are all ruled by an oligarchy of a few hundred to a few thousand cold-blooded psychopaths and sociopaths at the top. And that is the logical conclusion of patriarchy, basically. Worse, even if they are deposed, these evil villainaire rulers will ultimately return if we don't stamp out the conditions that cause such evil to rise to power in the first place. Thus the better half of humanity, Women, must rise up and take over once and for all, Goddess willing. Only then will there ever be true peace on Earth.
What better time than now?
