The article, “Deep Divide of ‘Evil Genes" reports
that evolutionary biologists at the University of Connecticut are analyzing
Adam Lanza's DNA in the hope of determining if whether an evil gene caused him
to go on a killing spree. (Deep divide of 'evil genes, Julia
Llewellyn Smith, Age of Technology, April 11, 2013)
So controversial is the idea that evil may be
genetically caused that projects set up to investigate the issue have been
shelved after public uproar:
"Scientists are haunted by the ghosts of the
pseudoscientific eugenics movement, which held that mankind could be improved
by breeding out the bad. Peaking in the early 20th century, its influence led
to the sterilisation of mental patients and prisoners and, by extension, to
Hitler's ''final solution'' of eliminating the ''Untermenschen."
(ibid)
Like Karl Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Saul Alinsky, one of the Left’s
favorite thinkers, Hitler was a psychopath. Psychopaths are
spiritually dead demonized human predators who wear a mask of sanity to
disguise the fact that their conscience is demonically occluded and their lack
of empathy and malignant narcissism permits them to negate reality and impose
on their victims a false reality made up of distortions and fabrications.
They can imitate feelings but what drives them is a ravenous hunger for
what they are after, which is making others suffer. Just as normal humans enjoy
seeing other people happy and thriving, the psychopath enjoys the opposite.
Lack of empathy results in blindness to the humanity of their victims
which in turn permits them to be sacrificed without remorse on the altar of
narcissism, for with the negation of humanity intended victims are no longer
human beings but objects to be used, abused, tormented and discarded at
will. This monstrous evil finds expression over and over in the writings
of the sexual psychopath, the Marquis de Sade:
"The philosopher
sates his appetites without inquiring to know what his enjoyments may cost
others, and without remorse." (Libido Dominandi, E. Michael
Jones, p. 26)
Though such individuals are not the actual devil they are of
like mind with him and their mesmerizing powers of persuasion come from him,
thus they seemingly possess a limitless supply of demonic energy, especially
when engaged in imposing their will over the wills of others. Since they
desire power for the sake of power, their overriding passion is to utterly
control and dominate the minds and wills of others which they poison by
manipulating their perceptions.
In "Leftism as Psychopathy," John Ray, M.A.,
Ph.D., begins by pointing out that moral imbecility is a primary characteristic
of psychopathy before briefly outlining some of its other
defining features:
"(the psychopath) is unmoved by brutality (except to
enjoy perpetrating it); he has no moral or ethical anchors or standards; he is
deeply (but discreetly) in love with himself (narcissism) so secretly despises
others and thinks they are fit only to be dominated and exploited by him and
those like him; he is a great manipulator who loves getting others to do his
bidding by deception or otherwise; he is the master of the lie and the false
pretense but sees no reason to be consistent from occasion to occasion; he will
say anything to gain momentary praise or admiration; his only really strongly felt
emotions seem to be hate and contempt and he is particularly enraged by those
who have what he wants and will be totally unscrupulous in trying to seize what
others have for himself. But above all, the psychopath does not seem to be able
to tell right from wrong and, as a result, does sometimes commit or connive at
murders and other heinous crimes with what seems to be a clear conscience."
"That seems to me to constitute, by and large, a fairly
comprehensive description of your average Left-wing intellectual --
particularly of the many intellectuals who did (and often still do) support in
various ways the old Soviet system in Russia."
Moral imbecility is the inability to recognize right from
wrong independent of passions (i.e., pride, jealousy, covetousness, lust,
envy) and attendant impulses and compulsions. To the degree by
which the moral sense is corrupt, so is reason. The greater the
degree of corruption the more depraved is reason, meaning that moral imbecility
can easily shade into diabolism, or psychopathy.
Paul Hollander's book "Political Pilgrims: Western
Intellectuals in Search of the Good Society" recounts what morally
depraved Leftist intellectuals and liberalized priests did for many decades in
the Soviet era. To quote one Amazon reviewer:
"Political Pilgrims is the amazing story of how Western
intellectuals embraced Marxist tyrants at the very moment their colleagues were
rotting in prison cells, and the common people everyone claimed to be concerned
for, were starving. The book relates how cultural and religious leaders from
the West, including familiar names, visited the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and
other communist countries, and told the most appalling lies." (ibid,
Ray)
Psychopaths seem to have minds of metal and exist in a
demonically twisted, upside-down atmosphere more bizarre than Bedlam as
affirmed by the Communist magazine 'Iuni Kommunist' which characterizes
their inverted atmosphere as a 'devilish antiworld,'
"...which externally is completely like ours (but
wherein) man must reply with evil to every success in life." (Marx
and Satan, Richard Wurmbrand, p. 106)
Then the article
audaciously affirms the inverted exegesis of Satanism,
"Satan is not the foe of man. He is Life, Love,
Light." (ibid)
The affirmation of Satan runs throughout the old Soviet and Nazi
systems and in fact, the altar of Satan at Pergamum (Rev. 2:13) unites both.
After the altar had been excavated by German archaeologists and brought to
Germany during Hitler's satanic reign, the Soviet army brought it to Moscow
after the conquest of Germany.
On Jan. 27, 1948 the Svenska Dagbladet (Stockholm) reported that
in 1924 the altar of Satan was used as a model for the mausoleum of the
mass-murderer Lenin. (Marx and Satan, Richard Wurmbrand, pp.
111-112)
While the demonized Hitler mentions in his poems that he goes
sometimes "to the oak of Wotan to make a pact with dark forces,"
Kaganovitch, Stalin's brother-in-law and closest collaborator describes Stalin
as no longer human:
"Even when he exhibited some emotions, they all did not
seem to belong to him. They were as false as the scale on top of armor...He was
not human at all..." (ibid, p. 53)
Milovan Djilas, Communist leader of Yugoslavia, perceptively
describes the mesmerizing satanic energy emanating from the 'no longer human' Stalin:
"Was it not so that the demonic power and energy of
Stalin consisted in this, that he made the (Communist) movement and every
person in it pass to a state of confusion and stupefaction, thus creating and
ensuring his reign of fear..." (ibid, p. 54)
Here Uspenski expresses the reality of ideas, which as
they are of the unseen world, there are some that will forever mark and
poison the spirit of man:
"There are ideas which touch the most intimate corners
of our lives. Once these are touched, the marks remain forever....They will
poison life." (ibid)
Today it is America that has passed into “a state of
confusion and stupefaction” as it
implodes under the powerfully destructive effects of widespread moral
imbecility throughout the general population. Even more ominous, thousands
of psychopaths exist at the highest most influential levels of American society.
Among prominent ones, John Ray lists Leftist intellectuals throughout academia,
Bill Clinton, John Kerry and Obama.
If evolutionary biologists are correct in their assumptions,
then moral imbeciles in general and psychopaths in particular are fully caused
and determined by stupid genes
and evil genes. But increasing
numbers of anthropologists, scientific psychiatrists, and other professionals
from the counseling and medical field are jettisoning as useless
genetic-materialist explanations. These researchers take very seriously the
fact that something frightening, hideous and unexplainable by modern
Western science is going on here in America and throughout the West. In their
search for answers a "new" consensus is emerging: men have souls and
demons exist:
"...we need to understand a number of different concepts
in order to comprehend the worldwide phenomenon of possession and exorcism. On
the psychological level, we have come to know the notion underlying all
possession, namely, that the body is a shell, inhabited by a soul, and that
this shell may on occasion be surrendered to an intrusive alien entity.” (How
about Demons? Possession and Exorcism in the Modern World, Felicitas Goodman, 1988)
"Dr. Frank Lake in a talk on the demonic recalled the
occasion when Hans Rudi Weber was giving a talk on Christ's Victory over the
Demonic Powers to this large gathering of psychiatrists and theologians. It was
quite amusing to see how uncomfortable the theologians were at this strange
exhibition of what I think they regarded as Medievalism from a distinguished
member of their own theological group. It was as if they were apologizing to
the scientific psychiatrists present that a theologian had returned to the era
of demons and evil possession. By contrast the psychiatrists were in fact
leaning forward eagerly recognizing that the collective demonic is something
with which they are continually dealing. As they said afterwards, 'Why didn't
some theologian tell us about this before? We know what he's talking about, we
live with it'" (But Deliver us From Evil: An Introduction to the
Demonic Dimension in Pastoral Care, John Richards, London, Dartman, Longman and
Todd,1974)
"In later life, Jung admitted that he was open to the
ideas that all these metapsychic phenomena could be explained better by the
theory of spirits ....in the long run (he said) I have to admit that the spirit
hypothesis yields better results in practice than any other." (The New
Age Movement and the Biblical Worldview: Conflict and Dialogue, John P.
Newport, Eerdmans, 1998)
Dr. Kurt Koch (1913-1987), a noted German theologian who
counseled thousands of people suffering from demonic bondage in its various
forms throughout the world argues that sin cuts a person off from
God. Sin opens the door to demonic oppression and possession seen in
relation to psychological distortions having the following predominant
characteristics:
1. Warped, distorted
character; hard egoism, uncongenial dark nature
2. Extreme passions;
abnormal sexuality, violent temper, belligerence, tendencies to addiction,
meanness, kleptomania
3. Compulsive thoughts
of suicide and murder; anxiety states
4. Demonic possession:
confusion, delusion; destructive, murderous urges; fits of mania, tendency to
violence, inhabitation by demons, conscious atheism, simulated piety,
blasphemous thoughts, words and acts and bigoted attitude against Christ and
God. (Occult ABC, Koch, pp. 266-282)
The Beatles were completely bigoted against Jesus Christ according
to Derek Taylor, their own press agent:
"They're completely
anti-Christ. I mean, I am anti-Christ as well, but they're so anti-Christ
they shock me." (Derek Taylor, Saturday Evening Post, Aug. 6, 1964)
In "Hostage to the Devil: the Possession and Exorcism of
Five Contemporary Americans," (1992) Malachi Martin presents five
cases of possession which express important elements and basic attitudes that
characterize psychopathy in particular and postmodern American society in
general. In the possessed person, such as Hitler and the 'no longer human' Stalin, these elements and attitudes are pushed
to a very narrow and frightening extreme.
Martin summarizes these elements and attitudes in the following
points:
1. Moral imbecility:
All sense suddenly seems like nonsense; nothing is ever right
2. Hopelessness confirmed
as the only hope
3. Death, cruelty and
contempt are normal
4. Moral relativism
and/or postmodernism: the depraved insistence that there is no essential
difference between good and evil; all 'truth' and 'moral' values are subject to
one's personal preference
5. Empiricism: The
supernatural and miraculous must be resolved in 'natural' or rational and
empirically verifiable scientific explanations
6. Naturalism: There
can be no relevance for the modern person in anything that cannot be rationally
understood and no 'truth' important beyond what is this-worldly or
natural.
7. Androgyny: There
are multiple and ever-expanding 'genders' and expressions of 'love'
8. A fatal confusion
between spirit (mind, will) and psyche (soul). Of this Martin said, "If everything (of) spirit can be made to seem a product merely of human psyche...then love
can be made to seem only a chemical interaction, and love's paradigm is killed."
9. Confusion: One
basic note of possession is confusion of the things of God with untruth, sex
with gender, truth with lie, good with evil, supernatural with natural. Confusion
is a prime weapon of evil said Martin.
In "Three Characteristics of the Diabolical, and how
they are Manifest in the Modern World," Msgr. Charles Pope of the
Archdiocese of Washington provides three more elements and attitudes
characteristic of the demonic:
1. Love of Nudity - This is clearly
manifest at several levels. First there is the widespread tendency of immodest
dress...“fashions” (that) reveal more than is reasonable and generally have, as
their intent to draw attention to aspects of the body that are private and
reserved for sexual union in marriage. Too many in our culture see little
problem parading about in various stages of undress, wearing clothing that are
more intended to disclose and call attention to, than to conceal the private
areas of the body. This love of disclosure and titillation is surely an aspect
of the Evil One’s love of nudity, and he has surely spread his obsession to
many in the modern West.
2. Pornography, though nothing new in
this fallen world, has surely reached epidemic proportions via the Internet.
Any psychotherapist, counselor or priest will tell you that addiction to
pornography is a huge problem among people today. Pornographic sites on the
Internet outpace all others tenfold. Multimillion Americans are viewing
enormous amounts of pornography and the “industry” is growing exponentially.
What was once hidden away in adult bookstores is now one click away on the
Internet. And the thought that browsing habits are easily discoverable matters
little to the addicts of this latest form of slavery. Many are on a steep slope
downward into ever more deviant forms of porn. Many end up at illegal sites
before they even know what has happened to them, and the FBI is knocking on
their door. Satan’s love of nudity has possessed many!
3. The overall sexualization of culture also
ties in to Satan’s love of nudity. We sexualize women to sell products. We even
sexualize children. Our sitcoms chatter endlessly about sex in a very teenage
and immature sort of way. We are, collectively, goofy and immature about sex,
and our culture giggles like horny teenagers obsessed with something we don’t
really understand. Yes, Satan loves nudity, and everything that goes with it.
In agreement with Koch and Malachi Martin that confusion is a
prime weapon of evil, Msgr. Charles Pope adds:
"And then of course there is the utter confusion that
celebrates homosexual activity. What Scripture calls
gravely sinful, disordered, and contrary to nature (= παρὰ φύσιν – para
physin – Rom 1:26) many in our culture now openly celebrate. And those
afflicted as such, openly identify themselves with what tempts them. Rather
than lament the difficulty and trial of such affliction and offer love, support
and truth that they, may live celibately, (as all the unmarried are called to
do), our sex saturated culture, blinded and darkened by its own wild lust,
affirms and encourages them to indulge what can only bring further harm to
them, and others, for it is of the darkness and contrary to nature. They have
exchanged the truth of God for a lie… Romans 1:25”
(blog.adw.org, Apr. 8, 2013)
In case four, "Uncle Ponto and the Mushroom Souper"
Martin provides us with an example of the hard egoism that is overtaking millions
of Americans--- trendy liberalized Christian and secular alike---
without their realizing it and without those around them taking cognizance of
it. While we have been cast into confusion and paralyzed into a stupefied
and fearful silence by the counter-intuitive, idiotic proclamations of the
so-called scientifically enlightened community of Godless leftist
psychopaths and their morally insane liberal lapdogs, an extreme
individualism,
"...which exceeds by far the bounds of what used to be
known as selfishness and egotism....has produced in thousands of people an
aberrant and idiosyncratic behavior which is truly destructive." (p.
25)
These are the conditions of the upside-down, aberrant society in
which we now live. From the highest, most powerful office of our land to our
universities, liberalized seminaries and churches, Hollywood, 'news' media and
mean streets these are the spiritually convoluted, pathologically sick
conditions of the false reality in which we and our loved ones must now live,
and to a far greater degree than most of us could have imagined fifteen or so
years ago said Martin,
"...a favorable climate for the occurrence of demonic
Possession has developed as the normal condition of our lives." (p.
xi)
Twenty-one years have passed since Malachi Martin warned America
of the demonic energy overspreading our society. Dr. Carl Raschke, Professor of
Religious Studies at the University of Denver and America's leading authority
on America's spreading subcultures of darkness concurs with Martin's grave concerns.
In "Painted Black," he connects the pieces
of a terrifying puzzle to reveal the chilling facts and cases behind an invisible
wave of evil sweeping our nation. He points out that the hard egoism,
decadence, pornography, drugs, heavy metal rock, mass murders, criminality, and
'new religions' in American culture have
certain social and spiritual ties that bind them together, revealing that they
are part of a similar spiritual genus manifesting itself in a will to do evil.
However, the demonic does not always manifest itself in a will
to do evil:
"Many of today's young Satanists (are characterized)
by a metaphysics of exhaustion and despair. A culture of despair
becomes ever easier pickings for the...child pornographers (and the) professional
(satanic) terrorists themselves. Satanism has already yielded a
climate of fear in middle-class quarters where fear had never flourished
before." (p. 406)
Tragically, our arrogant, spiritually blind Western science does
the work of the devil by explaining Satanism away by reducing it to a
manageable,
"….adolescent disturbance. Such a posture hinges
on the most incredible delusion that the symbol of the Devil does not at all
mean what the symbol of the Devil has always meant." (Painted Black,
p. 404)
Without realizing it, Americans are psychologically manipulated,
deluded and disarmed by influential moral imbeciles, whose minds being in
accord with the devil’s mind,
"....exploit good people by persuading them that it is
wrong to call evil by its name." (Persuasive Wickedness & What We
Must Say About It, James Hitchcock)
One of the real horrors of the fabricated alternative reality
imposed on us is its positive declaration of a satanically twisted moral ethic
which we commonly think of as political correctness with its two overriding
absolutes, 'tolerance' and 'inclusion.' Thus today the perverse claim of
'politically correct' moral imbeciles
and psychopaths to the moral high ground from where they audaciously
point accusing fingers at the living triune God, Biblical ethics, pro-lifers, founding
principles and traditions and the Americans who hold fast to them.
The
Devil’s Greatest Achievement
Speaking of his demonic bondage Little Richard confessed,
"I was directed and
commanded by another power. The power of darkness... that a lot of people don’t
believe exists. The power of the Devil. Satan."
(The Life and Times of Little Richard, Charles White, 1984, p. 206)
Ultimately, we wrestle not against weak, sinful men, be they
ever so morally insane and diabolical, but against unseen power of a far more
formidable order. (Ephesians 6:12)
In this light, one of the devil's greatest achievements in our
age has been in how skillfully he has interwoven, enmeshed and divided us---one
against the other--- in a vast and complex web, a subtly fabricated alternative
reality where biological science and evolutionary thinking have convinced the proudest---the most
enlightened forward-thinkers---that all that exists is matter in motion, which
means that the living God, immutable truth, moral absolutes, Original Sin, heaven,
the devil and hell are absurd beliefs held by only the most backward,
uneducated rubes.
