Political Ponerology (A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes) [Paperback]

Andrzej M. Lobaczewski (Author), Laura Knight-Jadczyk (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 4, 2007

The first manuscript of this book went into the fire five minutes before the arrival of the secret police in Communist Poland. The second copy, reassembled painfully by scientists working under impossible conditions of repression, was sent via a courier to the Vatican. Its receipt was never acknowledged, no word was ever heard from the courier - the manuscript and all the valuable data was lost. The third copy was produced after one of the scientists working on the project escaped to America in the 1980s. Zbigniew Brzezinski suppressed it.
Political Ponerology was forged in the crucible of the very subject it studies. Scientists living under an oppressive regime decide to study it clinically, to study the founders and supporters of an evil regime to determine what common factor is at play in the rise and propagation of man's inhumanity to man.
Shocking in its clinically spare descriptions of the true nature of evil, poignant in the more literary passages where the author reveals the suffering experienced by the researchers who were contaminated or destroyed by the disease they were studying, this is a book that should be required reading by every citizen of every country that claims a moral or humanistic foundation. For it is a certainty that morality and humanism cannot long withstand the predations of Evil. Knowledge of its nature, how it creates its networks and spreads, how insidious is its guileful approach, is the only antidote.

5.0 out of 5 stars Macrosocial Evil, June 24, 2007

By 

Ken "Ken" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Political Ponerology (A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes) (Paperback)

No one in my experience has quite explained the nature of true Evil in the way Lobaczewski has. The information in this book is what I would call "high density" since the maximum amount of information is conveyed with a minimum amoumt of words. It's not an easy read because of this but the information contained in this book precisely conveys the essential roots of the problem that humanity faces today.





Lobaczewski speaks of Evil in macrosocial terms, relating it to the word of politics and not from its ambiguous theological perspective. He bases his study of Evil in psycho-dynamical terms focusing on the behavioral dynamics of the psychopath and what motivates them. Lobaczewski studies the nature of Evil clinically, as it should be studied.





When I see the horrid state of the world in the terms Lobaczewski describes then everything fell in place for me. Now I know I'm not crazy. My reading of the book Ponerology explained A LOT to me, and not only confirms my own observations as to why the world is the way it is, but it has helped focus my perceptions and understanding of the nature of reality into a much greater clarity. It's no small wonder why the manuscript of this book has been suppressed. Once reading it one will begin to see the naked emperor.





These psychopaths that have now taken over our governments feed on our fear while feeding us false solutions to our domestic and foreign problems. They give us our governments which at this stage of their "game" are nothing more then Fascist regimes and nothing more then criminal governments in disguise.





In this book I have learned that most, if not all of the governments of the world, have been taken over by a pathological infection from just a small group of psychopaths who understand the psychology of normal people to a very high degree and they have corrupted these governmental structures to the very core. These psychopaths have silently, but with mind boggling persistence and stealth moved in and taken over and hollowed out the very soul of humanity using lies and deception as their weapons of choice. These psychopaths, this inhuman race of pathological deviants, who do not have the capacity to feel conscience and feel the pain of another, now literally rule the world.





One psychopath can terrorize an entire town, even an entire city. The majority of normal people are now ruled by a minority of psychopaths and they have basically made our governments criminal networks. Criminal governments. Those working for these governments are now working for what basically is a criminal enterprise and they don't see it because they are in it and profit by it, yet it is these people who are determining our future and the future of our children.





Mankind is becoming a willing slave to the pathocratic structures created by the inhuman obsessive greed of this small percentage of humanity that cannot feel conscience. This book is a MUST READ. Only by knowing what we are dealing with can we do anything about it without going in circles. We are dealing with an intelligent predator that feeds on the soul of humanity. It seems to me that there are only a very few who are now speaking of psychopathy and (macrosocial) Evil in the way Lobaczewski speaks of it, since it has been suppressed for so long, but knowledge of the behavior of these deviants, these snakes in suites, is essential so we can recognize this "predator within our midst" and then do something about it with any real and lasting results

5.0 out of 5 stars The most important book, July 1, 2007

By 

Shane - See all my reviews

This review is from: Political Ponerology (A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes) (Paperback)

The opening statement in the editor's preface states, "The book you hold in your hand may be the most important book you will ever read; if fact, it will be." That's a pretty tall order for anyone to say about any book. In todays world where statements are often used as masks to manipulate, it could easily be taken as puffery. I wasn't finished with the book before I completely agreed that it is indeed the most important book I have ever read. In fact it goes to the source of why and how our world is filled with such manipulative masks and how we can protect ourselves from them. Before understanding the concepts in this book I didn't have much hope for humanity - thinking that we're inherently evil. But we're not. We are infected with the 'thinking' processes of psychopaths that had had their influence on man's ideologies since day one. This gives me hope because even if we are sick there is a chance we can get better. With the spread of the knowledge in this book there is hope that we can live in a life fufilling world, instead of the destructive one currently led by psychopaths and psychological deviants.

5.0 out of 5 stars Earth 101, June 18, 2007

By 

B. Kopenhaver "Ephesians 6:12" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Political Ponerology (A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes) (Paperback)

This book holds information in it that every man, woman, and child on this planet needs to understand; 4-6% of our worlds population are born without conscience. This fundamental deficit in a minority of the population allows our global tragedy to continue unabated.

Our lack of awareness is also a contributing factor. If we properly understood that some people are without conscience we'd protect our society, eliminating them from positions of power, identifying their pseudologic and twisting of words, preventing it from causing damage.
As it is right now, we have major news networks that spew forth psychological bacteria on a daily basis and no one seems to notice.

Properly understood, this tome acts to innoculate the reader against narcissism and conversive thinking, the two major components of consciencelessness.

A Must Read.
