How To Deal With Psychopaths
If you leave the psychopath, you can expect that he will either be the type who doesn't make any

"noise" but ruins your reputation by spreading lies, or you can expect a lot of open manipulation (a

final attempt to gain power and control).

For example, I left a psychopath, and to this day, if given the opportunity, he will tell friends to

warn me that I am nothing but a "bug" on his windshield and that he has the ability to destroy me

like an insect. Meanwhile, he has also spread false stories about me to anyone who'll listen. Why

does he do this? After dealing with this annoying behaviour for nearly two years, I've come to a

conclusion: Even though they cannot really love another person, and lack real deep-seated

emotions, psychopaths relate to others through power and control. If someone should actually

attempt to "demean" (in his eyes, this is very real) his power and control, he will react to some

extent. The psychopath also made himself appear in control by stating that he "kicked" me out,

even though he lived in his mother's house. Later on, he also told my friend that I was nothing but

an "experiment" to him, after I had lost money, time, and suffered immensely because of his lying

and manipulation. By suffering, I also count extreme depression which lasted nearly two years, as

he did not stop attacking me in the two years after (even to this day) that I left him.

I believe that some individuals are strong enough to stand up to the psychopath; unfortunately, not

all people are, and most psychopaths succeed in permanently damaging their victims. This is why

we clearly need more support groups for people who have been in relationships with psychopaths.

In sum, the experience of dealing with a psychopath can be very troubling for most people, not to

mention, when he is through with you, you can be sure that you will be vilified falsely, no doubt

about it.

I recently asked Field about what one can do when faced with the lies of a psychopath (Field

refers to them as sociopaths) and the apparent absence of justice when it comes to their

behaviour - - Field's response was:

"The main lesson I have learnt is that when dealing with a sociopath, the normal rules of etiquette

do not apply. You are dealing with someone who has no empathy, no conscience, no remorse,

and no guilt...It is a completely different mindset. Words like 'predator' and 'evil' are often used."

If you try to deal with psychopaths in an ethical manner, you will be in for a shock. Dr. William

Higgins claims that you "can't negotiate or bargain with psychopaths."

Psychopaths will not only deny the past and trivialize it, but will avoid answering your questions

directly, and even if they seem to answer them -- you can be sure that it's not the answer you

were looking for. It has been said that even when they do give you a straight answer, the real issue

will never be addressed by them, although they may even claim to be honourable when it suits

them. But don't be fooled, for this is where the psychopath wants his victim -- he wants to shame

you while at the same time fitting you into his plans; this is because "psychopaths show a

stunning lack of concern for the devastating effects their actions have on others. Often they are

completely forthright about the matter, calmly stating that they no have no sense of guilt, are not

sorry for the pain and destruction they have caused, and that there is no reason for them to be

concerned." [Hare, 41].

On the other hand, "psychopaths sometimes verbalize remorse but then contradict themselves in

words or actions." [Hare, 41].

Psychopaths may apologize or show remorse only to get away with something, but in the end you

will be stabbed in the back and realize how very shallow their words were.

The psychopath appears not to be able to remember what they had said or committed to for very

long. They seem to always be living in the present. That is why they are usually guilty of being big

"promise- makers" who cannot live up to their word. Once again, it will be the victim who must

deal with the aftermath of all the psychopath's twists and turns, and when he gets you angry

enough, you will be discredited as "defective" by him, and the psychopath will often make himself

out to be the real victim. As John Wayne Gacy once said, "I was the victim, I was cheated out of

my childhood."

What often happens in the aftermath, as Field has stated, is that the victim may repress his or her

anger for a quite a while, but then, often many months later, a sudden realization of the truth may

come over the individual, and the victim will finally realize that all along he/she has been bullied by

the psychopath. This is when the victim suddenly becomes very angry and is motivated to have

some sort of justice. But when trying to obtain justice with a psychopath, be aware that you will

be the one to pay if you don't take a firm stand; the experience will have you more confused and

bewildered, and you may even feel tempted to fight fire with fire.

In some cases, our society allows psychopathy because we do not really fight back against

cheating and lying behaviours (one good example: Bill Clinton).

They are also good at tricking their own psychiatrists. For instance, two individuals I knew bragged

that they liked to play mind-games with psychiatrists. "I was the case-study; they could never

figure out what was wrong with me, so I would just play mind-games with them" commented one

of them.

He also learned, from reading about psychiatry and having therapy, that he could just "blame

someone else" to get away with things. "I just blame someone else" he said, nonchalantely.

When asked, in particular, why he hated his mother so much, (he claimed she

physically/mentally/emotionally abused him), he replied, "Because my mother projects all of the

assholes she's ever been dumped by on me."

That is why Hare believes that therapy makes psychopaths worse; most of them learn about

human emotions through psychiatry, and they are "eager to attribute their faults and problems to

childhood abuse." [Hare, 50]. Also, "antisocials (psychopaths) themselves can be uncooperative

or unpleasant, complicating efforts to study and treat them." [Black, 12].

As for recovery from the psychopath, despite the pain that may be left (some people never recover,

according to Field), you will learn how very uncomplicated yet cowardly the psychopath's means

of keeping cool is. It's just the way the psychopath must function to maintain their rather fragile

(but set in stone for life) self-image.

While few psychopaths commit violent crimes, the callousness of the average psychopath usually

ranges through subtle, but still devastating misdeeds: "Parasitically bleeding other people of their

possessions, savings, and dignity; aggressively doing and taking what they want; shamefully

neglecting the physical and emotional welfare of their families; engaging in an unending series of

casual, impersonal, and trivial sexual relationships; and so forth." [Hare, 45]. This is a main

feature of their lack of empathy.

Also, be forewarned that the psychopath will expend much effort (at the victim's cost), in setting

up plans, expectations, etc., but they give very little, or nothing, in return.

When he knows he's done something to you which you may not comply with, he'll have an escape

route ready. Most normal people do the same thing, in a general sense, but the psychopath does

it out of pure selfishness, greed, and callousness. He won't care whether it hurts your feelings or

not, whatever treachery he enacts will not be disguised once the show is over with him.

I would like to recount the experience of a friend of mine from Japan. She had been

communicating with a man who lived in San Diego for over a year, and during the time of their

correspondences and phone calls, he seemed so "sweet, caring, and kind." She mentioned how

beautifully written his emails were, and so on.

It came to pass that this man asked my friend to marry him, and, to top it off, he promised her

that he had a job ready for her in the city where he lived, he even sent her a letter from the

company with all the information. Well, my friend believed him and came to the United States to

marry him. On their first meeting, she mentioned how it was already the beginning of the end, and

how she should have seen it coming. She told him, after they met at the airport, that she needed

to make a phone call, and instead of letting her use his cell- phone, he told her to use the

pay-phone. My friend, albeit naive, mentioned that this contradicted his persona on the phone and

through emails. She said she was a bit shocked, but nevertheless she married him.

As the weeks went by, things got worse. She found out that there was no job, and that the letter

he had sent her was actually just the letterhead from the company copied onto another paper. In

other words, her new husband had committed forgery in order to trick her. Next, she began to

receive phone calls from women in the Phillipines and Canada who told her that her new husband

had been inviting them (via online) to come and live with him. My friend was so distraught that she

told these women over and over that he was lying to all of them while playing the biggest trick of

all on her. The women didn't believe it (why do women tend to disbelieve another woman when

they are trying to warn them?), but eventually, my friend told them "If you want to see the proof

that I am married to him, then come here and I will prove it."

Eventually, she learned from friends and family that Mr. Wonderful was a pathological liar who had

a long history of using women and having his mother cover his tracks for him, and, sad to say, this

wasn't the only one she ran into. I can say the same, that is why I've written this website, because

I can tell you that these people are out there, and I don't want anything to happen to anyone else

or go through what my friend or myself have experienced. It is my goal that through my website,

more people, not only women, but men, will become informed and not become victims

themselves, because it is truly a painful experience to deal with.

So, what is the lowdown on dealing with psychopaths?

Either avoid them, or, once you know or suspect what they are, avoid them.

Any further contact with a psychopath will be truly damaging. Once you have been involved with a

few of them, like many people I know, you also learn to watch for the "red flags." This doesn't

mean you should be paranoid about people, just careful.

The fact is, regardless of all studies and new therapies, psychopaths are "hard-wired" for life-long

bad behaviour.

Leland M. Heller, M.D., writes that people who have this disorder have symptoms which include

lying, cheating, cruelty, criminal behaviour, irresponsibility, lack of remorse, poor relationships,

exploitation, manipulation, destructiveness, irritability, aggressiveness, and job failures.

Many do not exhibit criminal behaviour, but act antisocially in socially acceptable professions.

Alcohol makes the disorder worse, and psychopaths are very prone to substance abuse. The

causes are often "poor parental discipline, association with "bad" kids, and poor bonding with

parents..." [Heller, 75]. But the causes can also be mostly biological.

Another characteristic is their unusual word usage, because they can't distinguish between neutral

and emotional words. One psychopathic individual told me that he was "deftly afraid of needles"

once, but the word deftly implies "skill." Instead of saying "deathly afraid," he said "deftly," and

never noticed it was wrong. (See Hare's book for more interesting examples of this).

Strangely enough, many find the psychopath's verbal deftness quite charming, and psychopaths

do tend to talk a lot, especially when they're pouring on the charm.

The question is, can you spot one before they get to you?

That is why it's important to study whether or not you may be the type who falls for them, who, in

essence, becomes prey to believing in them.

Some people may find concern over psychopathy irrelevant, but it's not.

Psychopathy causes tremendous damage in our society, and affects all levels of our lives. It

causes illnesses and disorders such as PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Money is also lost

by innocent victims to psychopaths, and these social predators also do much economic damage

to our society.

Everyone, especially women, should learn to identify psychopathy and watch for red flags. This

doesn't mean diagnosing every man you date, but preferably just being aware of the disorder can

help out a lot! After my own experiences, I truly believe in the saying "better safe than sorry."

I will empasize once more that I do believe most women transfer what they want to believe onto

the psychopath, to the extent that he is painted in an unrealistic light, so psychopaths can also

"play with your mind" in this regard.

Most victims of the psychopath only see what they want to see, initially. That is why Field says,

"Naivete is the great enemy."

Many also "cling to the belief that their loved one (the psychopath) simply has a few problems just

like anyone else, not the symptoms of a personality disorder." [Black, 59].

In the book When Your Lover Is a Liar the issue of psychopathy and how psychopaths manipulate

women is also pointed out.

The author believes that a psychopath's greatest thrill is just being able to "pull the wool" over a

woman's eyes.

For people who are emotionally normal, we cannot understand what kind of thrill this is or why

some of them would go to such lengths in order to trick someone. But as Dr. Heller states,

"psychopaths feel no remorse, and actually enjoy their antisocial behavior." (Heller, 76).

Also, what I believe makes them most dangerous, is that they can be quite charming and

persuasive, and "they have remarkably good insight into the needs and weaknesses of other

people" as recounted in the text, Psychology In Action: "Even when they are indifferent to the

rights of their associates, they are often able to inspire feelings of trust and confidence." This is

best exemplified by a psychopath who professes that "everything is fine" while lying point-blank to

your face with seeming honesty and candor, and then, as soon as you turn away for a second, he

will stab you in the back.

In the end, you will know them "by their fruits" so to speak. They will be sure to let you know

who's boss. As one female victim recounted in Hare's book Without Conscience... she couldn't

understand how someone (the psychopath she had known) could have wormed his way into her

life and then just disappeared so easily. This is how they operate. They just don't give a damn

about anyone. Except themselves.

Another very strong characteristic to look for (or listen for) is what Dr. Hare refers to as "duping

delight." It is as if the psychopath has no need to lie or purpose in lying, the pleasure is attained

through merely pulling one over on somebody.

As for addictions and so forth, "among the clearest of these links is the one between ASP

(psychopathy) and the abuse of alcohol and other drugs," [Black, 91], although most psychopaths

would never admit they have a drinking problem, even when it's obvious. As one psychopath put it,

"I know how to drink. Drinking is a responsibility, I've been doing it since I was 12."

So, once again: Can psychopaths change? Can you change them?

No, they choose to behave as they do, even though, to some extent they do have a personality

disorder. Dr. Black, however, believes that even those patients who "show the greatest change

seem unable to comprehend the degree to which their actions affected those around them. They

may continue to live in emotional isolation. Self-interest is a natural component of the human

makeup, but it is especially strong in antisocials and leaves many of them unable to develop full

compassion, consience, and other attributes that make for successul social relations." [Black,

144].

"Don't Expect A Miracle"
In consequence, whether or not they can't or don't desire to change, studies have shown that they

won't change, in general, so don't waste your time trying to help or change them, for the help you

offer will always be repaid to you in full by treachery.

Black also believes that "victims may fear revenge or other potential consequences, but leaving

the abusive situation (with a psychopath) is often better than trying to survive in a relationship built

on intimidation and violence." [Black, 185].

Personally, I also believe that it's better to not accept meager crumbs of fake affection from a

psychopath. No one needs that kind of abuse. If you keep taking that abuse, I can grant you that

you will pay for it both mentally and emotionally, for a very long time. The end result is what is

referred to as having been psychologically battered.

Some people, feeling that they need to save others (co-dependents), and perhaps a bit proud in

their need to prove a point, often fall prey to psychopaths because they refuse to believe the truth.

I also wanted to make note that some psychopaths appear to show some insight into their own

personality make-up ("I'm a jerk," etc.); however, this does not really mean that they care how

they behave. They choose to behave this way.

The aftermath of dealing with these individuals and the recovery process can be a "long, slow and

painful process" according to Field - - but one must remember that if you have been a victim

(target) you are only the "latest in a long line of people onto whom he (the psychopath) had to

displace his aggression. He will probably do this throughout his life."

Sad to say, "antisocials (psychopaths) often spend their last years alone, sometimes plagued by

regret for what they never knew they were missing until it was too late." [Black, 89].

Do I find this a sad fact? Yes. It is very sad and I find it extremely unfortunate that there are people

who live their lives this way. But like I mentioned before, as I cannot emphasize this enough: no

matter how much pity or compassion you may have for a psychopathic individual, don't try

"saving" them. It will only hurt you in the end. As my friend from Japan stated, "(These people) just

don't care whether what they do may ruin your life! They can ruin your life!"

Hare's PCL-R 20-item checklist
Hare's PCL-R 20-item checklist is based on Cleckley's 16-item checklist, and the following is a

discussion of the concepts in the PCL-R:
1. GLIB and SUPERFICIAL CHARM -- the tendency to be smooth, engaging, charming, slick, and

verbally facile. Psychopathic charm is not in the least shy, self-conscious, or afraid to say

anything. A psychopath never gets tongue-tied. They have freed themselves from the social

conventions about taking turns in talking, for example.

2. GRANDIOSE SELF-WORTH -- a grossly inflated view of one's abilities and self-worth,

self-assured, opinionated, cocky, a braggart. Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe they

are superior human beings.

3. NEED FOR STIMULATION or PRONENESS TO BOREDOM -- an excessive need for novel,

thrilling, and exciting stimulation; taking chances and doing things that are risky. Psychopaths

often have a low self- discipline in carrying tasks through to completion because they get bored

easily. They fail to work at the same job for any length of time, for example, or to finish tasks that

they consider dull or routine.

4. PATHOLOGICAL LYING -- can be moderate or high; in moderate form, they will be shrewd,

crafty, cunning, sly, and clever; in extreme form, they will be deceptive, deceitful, underhanded,

unscrupulous, manipulative, and dishonest.

5. CONNING AND MANIPULATIVENESS- the use of deceit and deception to cheat, con, or

defraud others for personal gain; distinguished from Item #4 in the degree to which exploitation and

callous ruthlessness is present, as reflected in a lack of concern for the feelings and suffering of

one's victims.

6. LACK OF REMORSE OR GUILT -- a lack of feelings or concern for the losses, pain, and

suffering of victims; a tendency to be unconcerned, dispassionate, coldhearted, and unempathic.

This item is usually demonstrated by a disdain for one's victims.

7. SHALLOW AFFECT -- emotional poverty or a limited range or depth of feelings; interpersonal

coldness in spite of signs of open gregariousness.

8. CALLOUSNESS and LACK OF EMPATHY -- a lack of feelings toward people in general; cold,

contemptuous, inconsiderate, and tactless.

9. PARASITIC LIFESTYLE -- an intentional, manipulative, selfish, and exploitative financial

dependence on others as reflected in a lack of motivation, low self-discipline, and inability to begin

or complete responsibilities.

10. POOR BEHAVIORAL CONTROLS -- expressions of irritability, annoyance, impatience,

threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control of anger and temper; acting hastily.

11. PROMISCUOUS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR -- a variety of brief, superficial relations, numerous

affairs, and an indiscriminate selection of sexual partners; the maintenance of several relationships

at the same time; a history of attempts to sexually coerce others into sexual activity or taking

great pride at discussing sexual exploits or conquests.

12. EARLY BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS -- a variety of behaviors prior to age 13, including lying, theft,

cheating, vandalism, bullying, sexual activity, fire-setting, glue-sniffing, alcohol use, and running

away from home.

13. LACK OF REALISTIC, LONG-TERM GOALS -- an inability or persistent failure to develop and

execute long-term plans and goals; a nomadic existence, aimless, lacking direction in life.

14. IMPULSIVITY -- the occurrence of behaviors that are unpremeditated and lack reflection or

planning; inability to resist temptation, frustrations, and urges; a lack of deliberation without

considering the consequences; foolhardy, rash, unpredictable, erratic, and reckless.

15. IRRESPONSIBILITY -- repeated failure to fulfill or honor obligations and commitments; such as

not paying bills, defaulting on loans, performing sloppy work, being absent or late to work, failing

to honor contractual agreements.

16. FAILURE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR OWN ACTIONS -- a failure to accept

responsibility for one's actions reflected in low conscientiousness, an absence of dutifulness,

antagonistic manipulation, denial of responsibility, and an effort to manipulate others through this

denial.

17. MANY SHORT-TERM MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS -- a lack of commitment to a long-term

relationship reflected in inconsistent, undependable, and unreliable commitments in life, including

marital.

18. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY -- behavior problems between the ages of 13- 18; mostly behaviors

that are crimes or clearly involve aspects of antagonism, exploitation, aggression, manipulation, or

a callous, ruthless tough-mindedness.

19. REVOCATION OF CONDITION RELEASE -- a revocation of probation or other conditional

release due to technical violations, such as carelessness, low deliberation, or failing to appear.

20. CRIMINAL VERSATILITY -- a diversity of types of criminal offenses, regardless if the person

has been arrested or convicted for them; taking great pride at getting away with crimes.

From: An American Obsession ... the Psychopath

I wish to educate and warn you the reader of some of the more common signs that the person in

question -- usually a male -- is someone you should detach from...and quickly! The sooner you

can detect a troublesome person, the better off you will be. One quick check is your placement of

him/r on the asshole scale. Now remember, not every jerk or idiot is necessarily psychotic!

However, the psychopath is an extreme form of the "asshole" personality type, they've just learned

to conceal it most of the time and appear to be "nice, charming" people. They are developmentally

stuck in their early years, still fighting the battles of authority and parental control over them!

Gresham's Theorum Looks at Where the Present Day Situation Started from

The immensely wealthy private bank of N. M. Rothschild & Son, and the Zionists, controlled the British Empire then as well as now. Then they controlled the Bank of England, the press, the railroads. and the industries with minor exceptions. Lord Northcliffe was the publisher of the Daily Mail and other papers.
The report follows:
Imperial Unity
British Consulate
New York City
June 10, 1919
"The Right Honorable David Lloyd George,
Sir:
I was highly honored by your personal letter of May 24 last (written same week as Paris meeting), and wish to thank you for the cordial expression of approval of my work which it contained. You were very good enough to require from me a frank and confidential account of the campaign conducted under my direction in this country, together with such suggestions as might further help to lead it speedily to a successful conclusion. As the campaign had been under way for a considerable time before you were called to direct the destinies of England, I shall review it from its commencement, and, emboldened by your sanction, I shall freely make whatever suggestions seem to me good.

From the moment of my arrival here, it was evident to me that such an Anglo-American alliance as would ultimately result in the peaceful return of the American Colonies to the dominion of the Crown could be brought about only with the consent of the dominant group of the controlling clans.

For those who can afford the universities, we are, as I have already mentioned, plentifully supplying British-born or trained professors, lecturers, and presidents. A Canadian-born admiral now heads the United States Naval College. We are arranging for a greater interchange of professors between the two countries. The student interchange could be much improved. The Rhodes scholarships are inadequate in number. I would suggest that the Carnegie trustees be approached to extend to American students the benefits of the scheme by which Scottish students are subsidised at Scottish universities. If necessary, a grant from the treasury should be obtained for this excellent work, which however, should remain for the present -- at least outwardly -- private enterprise...

Through the Red Cross, the Scout movement, the YMC, the church, and other humane, religious, and quasi-religious organizations, we have created an atmosphere of international effort which strengthens the idea of unity of the English-speaking world. In the co-ordination of this work, Mr. Raymond Fosdick, formerly of the Rockefeller Foundation, has been especially conspicuous. I would also like to mention President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University, who has eloquently advocated this form of internationalism and carefully emphasize its distinction from the false internationalism which is infecting the proletariat.

The Overseas Club in this country now contains nearly hundred thousand pledged members with a Journal of their own. Our thanks are due to Lord St. George's, St. David's, St. Andrew's, and Pilgrim Clubs, together with the Daughters of the Empire. the Prince of Wales Fund, and the other association and guilds connected with our multitudinous war charities enable us to pervade all sections and classes of the country, and provide us with a force of empire builders whose loyalty an services are both invaluable to us and highly appreciated by the native colonists.

The censorship, together with our monopoly of cables and our passport control of passengers, enables us to hold all American newspapers as isolated from the non-American world as if they had been in another planet instead of in another hemisphere The realization of this by the Associated Press and the other universal news gatherers -- except Hearst -- was most helpful in bringing only our point of view to the papers they served.

British-born editors and reporters now create imperial sentiment in most American newspapers. As their identity and origins are not usually known, they can talk and write for us as Americans to Americans.

Below that level, imperial unity cannot be securely established upon the debris of the Constitution here. We will not passively permit this unity to be now menaced when it is all but perfect. Has not America, while still maintaining an outward show of independence, yielded to our wishes in the Panama Canal tolls and Canadian fisheries' disputes, as was fitting and filial? Was not America happy to fight our war in Europe? Was not America, like Canada, willing not only to pay her own war expenses but also to loan us money for ours? Was not America, like Canada, content to seek nothing in return for her war duty, so long as the motherland was completely indemnified in Egypt and the rest of Africa, in Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria, and elsewhere? Was not America as proud to be honored by knighthood and lesser titulary distinctions, as Canada was, or, rather, more proud?

Has not President Wilson cancelled the big Navy program and dutifully conceded to us the command of the seas, confident that we shall defend America against all future foes that may threaten our supremacy, just as we defended America and Canada against Germany? In matters lingual, legal and financial, fiscal, commercial, social evangelical, administrative, martial, naval, educational -- are not in all these matters the established relations of America to England, in kind -- if not precisely in degree -- identical with the relations of the other colonies and dominions to the Crown? Indeed, I might justifiably sustain the thesis that so-distant American Republic is now more happily and more closely bound to the Empire than are, for example, the ungrateful and insolent colonies which lately were the Boer Republics.

As long as President Wilson, with our Canadian-born Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Franklin Lane, with our Scotch-born Secretary of Labor, Mr. W. B. Wilson, and with our London-born Mr. Samuel Gompers, -- now controls the administration, imperial unity will daily grow more intimate and more perfect. But I regret to inform you that our committee on American Elections has reported (Appendix 38) that no matter how lavishly we finance the next election, the Wilson administration will pass, and with it, perchance, that absolute administrative control over the Legislature, which has meant so much to us. Willful, wanton, and wicked men will unite in the next election with labor and those industrialists whose profit-patriotism ratio has been allowed to fall below the threshold of loyalty to imperial unity. These combined forces of disorder will seek to elect a legislature which will attempt to make the administration responsible to it, instead of to us and our auxiliaries, and will strive to rend the bonds which bind this colony to the motherland, for the sole, selfish, and seditious purpose of erecting a separate, national, economic unit independent of us -- and even perhaps, competing with us. We must, therefore, hasten to remove from this legislature, with the aid of our supporters here, such of its powers as could be used against imperial unity.

J. P. MORGAN & CO. ARE BRITISH AGENTS

In the financial world the Anglo-American alliance is a well-established fact. And as the consortium for China, and the security company for Mexico show, our brokers and their aids have become the unchallenged financiers of the world. We have been particularly fortunate in our fiscal agents here, Messrs Pierpont Morgan & Company. The commissions they charged, both as our brokers and purchasing agents no doubt were high enough to warrant their summary treatment at the hands of Mr. Balfour during his visit here. But they advantageously placed our many bond issues and every American holder of these bonds having now a stake in the Empire is a defender of its integrity and a potential supporter of its extension over here. Their services in putting this country into the war have not been altruistic, but they were nonetheless effective. They contributed liberally to our Americanization campaign. They ousted Miss Boardman, and through Messrs. Taft and H. P. Davidson they nationalized and directed the American Red Cross, and then internationalized it under the direction of Mr. H. P. Davison Through Mr. Thomas Lamont they purchased Harpers Magazine and the New York Evening Post. Through advertisers they control, they have exerted widespread influence on newspaper policy. Messrs. Lamont and Davidson gave you valuable aid at the peace conference. They loaned ,000,000 to Japan that our ally might build a fleet to compete with America on the Pacific carrying routes. Their attempts to retain for us control of the international mercantile marine are well known to you. And I would he amiss if I did not remind you that they relieved the government of considerable embarrassment by pensioning worthily the widow of our late Ambassador Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, at a time when the antagonism of Lord Northcliffe made it impossible for us officially to do so. As the greater part of their capital is invested within the Empire. the Government of His Majesty will doubtless have opportunity to appreciate the value of the services of Messrs. Pierpont Morgan & Company.

BRITISH DUPLICITY

Through our fiscal agents here and our aids who act for other Allied countries, as Sir Clifford Sifton acts for Rumania, we have become the world's purchasers. Moreover, the war has made us the custodian of the greater part of the world's raw materials. With moneys lent to us by the American Government for war purposes, we have. acting through quasi-American companies by the aid of Mr. Connor Guthrie, obtained control of the large oil fields in California and in Costa Rica. And through the nationalization of His Majesty's Government of the Cowdray, Pearson, and Royal Dutch Shell interests in Mexico, we having become masters of the Mexican, Canadian, Rumanian, Armenian. Persian, and lessor oil fields, now largely control the oil fields of the world and thereby the world's transportation and industry. We have not yet succeeded in controlling the pipe lines owned by the Standard Oil Company, and its subsidiaries, for those companies have long been established. But, although uncontrolled companies may continue to get their oil to the seaboard, the proposed system of preferential treatment at our universal oiling stations for ships supplied at the port of departures with British oil (Appendix 37) will prevent the use of any oil but ours on the high seas.

This control would enable us to exert such pressure as would make American industrial interests amenable to His Majesty's pleasure. But it would be unwise to make disciplinary use of our fuel power before we secure remission of our ,000,000,000 debt. Otherwise, the American industrial interests might retaliate by forcing the United States Government to exact from us the agreed interest, to maintain tariff barriers against our merchandise, and to withdraw support from the rate of exchange. Which make our labor and resources for years pay tribute to this country an unnatural, unfilial, and unthinkable proceeding. We are conducting a vigorous campaign for the cancellation of this war debt, on the grounds (a) that we fought America's fight for her for 2 years, while she was prospering in cowardice and (b) that at least the material burdens should be distributed justly, if the world is to be made safe for democracy. . Synchronously with this agitation for the remission of our debt, we are agitating for further loans of American money to rebuild our markets in Europe. There is no possibility of these two agitations endangering their mutual success, for we have repeatedly proved beyond question that the American mind cannot synchronously fix and correlate facts, with two cognate items on the statements to be judged each on its merits. Hence, we are able in a cloud of candor to state the merit of the loan -- viz, that unless the money be lent to us we cannot pay the interest on it. in these agitations we are receiving valuable, if not wholly disinterested, aid from our financial auxiliaries and fiscal agents (J. P. Morgan & Co.)

In Mexico our friends made a tentative adventure with the gallant Blanquet, but it miscarried, perhaps owing to a slight misunderstanding between the bond interests and the industrial interests. However, we are quietly continuing our work in Mexico until the United States Government shall be put in a position to take it over. An American war with Mexico would cost us nothing; it would satisfy certain American industrial interests; it would guarantee out title to the Mexican oil fields; it would humble, by impoverishing, this purse-proud people; it would give us an opportunity to show the American that he isolated in the world needs our protection against our ally, Japan; and while America was busy warring we would enjoy a clear field in the European, African, and Asiatic trade, together with the monopoly of the markets of a South America hostile to the Monroe Doctrinaries of democracy. For these reasons our press is fully reporting Mexican outrages, but a strange apathy seems to have fallen on the people, an apathy from which only border raids or special atrocities will arouse them. . .

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

In other words, we must quickly act to transfer its dangerous sovereignty from this colony to the custody of the Crown. We must, in short, now bring America with in the Empire. God helping us, we can do no other. The first visible step in this direction has been taken; President Wilson has accepted and sponsored the plan for a League of Nations which we prepared for him. We have wrapped this plan in the peace treaty so that the world must accept from us the League or a continuance of the war. The League is in substance the Empire with America admitted on the same basis as our other colonies.

The effectiveness of the League will depend upon the power with which it can be endowed, and that will hinge upon the skill with which the cardinal functions of the American legislature are transferred to the executive Council of the League. Any abrupt change may startle the ignorant American masses and rouse them to action against it. And us. Our best policy, therefore, would be to appoint President Wilson first president of the League. When the fourteen points seemed to our Government twice seven daily sins, I analyzed with care his diverse and numerous notes and discourses and divided them into their two parts: One, the Wilson creed, "I believe in open covenants and in the freedom of the seas," etc.; and two, the Wilson commandments, "Might shall not prevail over right, the strong shall not oppress the weak," etc. From the "too proud to fight" and "he kept us out of war" episodes, I ventured to deduce (September 29, 1918, Appendix 36) that he would at the appropriate moment oblige us by transferring the "not" from his commandments to his creed without as much as a "may I not," and in such a way that his people will be none the wiser.

The plain people of this country are inveterate and incurable hero worshipers. They are, however, sincere in sentiment; and for a hero to become established in the public shrine, he must first succeed in getting his name associated with the phrases and slogans that seem to reflect the undefined aspirations of the average inhabitant. When this has been accomplished the allegiance is at once transferred from the sentiment to the sentimentalist, from the ideal to the maker of the longed-for phrase. No one understands this peculiarity of the native behavior better than Mr. Wilson, which accounts largely for his exceptional usefulness to us. He knows that Americans will not scrutinise any performance too closely, provided their faith in the performer has been adequately established. Mr. Wilson has since made the transfer amid American acclamation. In the same way he will now be able to satisfy them that far from surrendering their independence to the League they are actually extending their sovereignty by it. He alone can satisfy them on this. He alone can father an anti-Bolshevik act which judicially interpreted -- will enable appropriate punitive measures to be applied to any American who may be unwise enough to assert that America must again declare her independence. And he alone, therefore, is qualified to act for us as first president of the League.

I confess I am a little uneasy lest in the exigencies of diplomatic combat, Mr. Wilson may not have found the joy he anticipated from matching his wits against the best brains of Europe. He is easily slighted and remarkably vindictive. It is the highest degree desirable that any traces of resentment his mind may be harboring against us should be radically removed before he returns. I would, therefore, suggest that the work of adulation planned in Appendix 32 should be instructed to consult the inventories I have prepared (appendixes 45-83), which show that he is now surfeited with diamond stomachers, brooches, and bracelets, Gobelin tapestries, mosaics, and vases, gold caskets, and plates.

The program we arranged for his visit to England (appendix 33) including a royal reception at Buckingham Palace, with which the President was well pleased. The fruitful visit of the President to the King should be returned as early as possible. I would suggest that as soon as the President is settled once more in the White House, the visit should be returned by His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, who would be an admirable representative of His Royal Sire, and would satisfy President Wilson's sense of fitness. It is perhaps unfortunate that there is not a Presidential daughter of the Prince's age, for such a union would have greatly advanced our purpose not only with the American people, but also with a President who feels that lese majeste should be punishable with 20 years' imprisonment, and who acts as if he considered his son-in-law, Mr. McAdoo, as his heir apparent.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S PECULIARITIES

Too great attention cannot be given at this time to the Presidential peculiarities, for his devotion to our purpose will depend upon our ability to pander to them. I would suggest that the new ambassador to Washington should be chosen only after the most careful thought. He should not be too clever, lest Mr. Wilson shun him. He should be able to evince hilarity at the most venerable jest, no matter how often he may have to suffer it. This qualification is vitally important whether Mr. Wilson's "humor" is merely assumed to perpetuate the "human" tradition established for Presidents by Lincoln, or whether it is studied descent from Jovelike isolation to Jovelike jest. The ambassador should be a Wilson worshiper. I enclose (appendix 34) resumes of the methods of worship practiced by various members of his inner circle. The appointee would do well to familiarize himself with them, and my services are at his disposal should be desire more extended information on the method of worship he selects. He should of course be a commoner, that we may not lose democratic favor -- preferably a professor -- and sufficiently subsidized to be able to entertain regally. If a list were submitted to Mr. Wilson he might be prepared to indicate all of whom he did not approve, and the one against whom he expressed no prejudices should be appointed. The pressing need of our embassy at Washington is not so much an ambassador as a gentleman in waiting to the President.

I would suggest that his powers as President of the League of Nations be left undefined for the present. He may be trusted to assume what power he can and to use it in the interests of the Crown.

A grant of a privy purse of ,000,000 would prove most acceptable to him and would be useful for private espionage, private wars, Siberian railroads, etc. His appointment should be for life, and you might definitely promise him that any instructions he may care to convey concerning his successor will receive the most careful attention of His Majesty's Government.

Nevertheless, it would be well quickly to reinforce him in the presidency of the League of Nations by staging the first session of the League in Washington. This will convince these simple people that they are the League and its power resides in them. Their pride in this power should be exalted. Perhaps you, yourself, might condescend to visit this country. Or, if that be impracticable, you might send such noble statesmen, and stately noblemen, as will suffice to make of the first League session a spectacle of unsurpassed brilliance. Indeed, it would be well to commence at an early date a series of spectacles by which the mob may be diverted from any attempt to think too much of matters beyond their province. The success of the Joffre, Vivianti Balfour, and other missions in amusing the people while the country was quietly put into the war shows that similar missions would likewise amuse the people -- while the country was quietly put into the League. I would suggest that missions of thanksgiving to America be organized, and that His Majesty the King of the Belgians, Cardinal Mercier, Field Marshal Foch, Venizelos, and an eminent Italian or two be sent seriatim.

PROPAGANDA

While awaiting these diversions for the vulgar, we are incessantly instructing them in the wonders of the League. Its praises are thundered by our press, decreed by our college presidents, and professed by our professors. Our authors, writers. and lecturers are analyzing its selected virtues for whomsoever will read or listen. As will be seen from appendix 39, circulars issued by the League of Nations committee, we have enlisted 8,000 pulpiteers or propagandists for the League. We have organized international and national synods, consistories, committees, conferences, convocations, conventions, councils, congresses, and assemblies, as well as their State, municipal, and district equivalents, to herald the birth of the League as the dawn of universal peace. A special Sunday will be observed as League Sunday in all churches. In this connection, may I remark that the appointment of Mr. Raymond Fosdick to the Secretariat of the League, has pleased not only the Rockefeller interests but also the less disingenuous uplifters, for it stamps the League as an endowed organization for promiscuous uplifting, under the triple crown of religion, respectability, and finance. Agriculturalists, bankers, brokers, chartered accounts, chemists, and all other functional groups capable of exerting organized professional, business, financial, or social pressure are meeting to endorse the League in the name of peace, progress, and prosperity.

The World's Peace Foundation has issued for us a series of League of Nations pamphlets, which, with our other literature, tax the mails to the limit of their capacity. Our film concerns are preparing an epoch-making picture entitled "The League of Nations." In brief, our entire system of thought control is working ceaselessly, tirelessly, ruthlessly, to insure the adoption of the League. And it will be adopted, for business wants peace, the righteous cannot resist a covenant, and the politicians, after shadow-boxing for patronage purposes, will yield valiantly lest the fate of the wanton and wilful pursue them.

By these means we hope smoothly to overcome all effective opposition on the on the part of our colony America to entering the League -- that is, the Empire. As soon as the League is functioning properly, His Majesty in response to loyal and repeated solicitation, might graciously be pleased to consent to restore to this people their ancient right to petition at the foot of the throne; to confer the ancient rank and style of governor general upon our Ambassador, that this colony may enjoy a status inferior to no other colony's; to establish the primacy of the Metropolitan See, with the Right Reverend Dr. Manning as first primate; to appoint Mr. Elihu Root lord chief justice of the colony, and to nominate Messrs. W. H. Taft, Nicholas Murray Butler, J. P. Morgan, Elizabeth Marbury, Adolph Ochs, and Thomas Lamont to the colonial privity council; as a special mark of royal and imperial condescension, to rename the Federal Capital of the Colony Georgetown, and lest section jealousy be thereby excited, to grant royal charters to the cities of Boston and Chicago entitling them thereafter to style themselves, respectively, Kingston and Guelf -- concisely to bestow in time and in measure such tokens of the bounty of the Crown as the fealty of the colonists merit.

BRITISH-AMERICAN UNION URGED

Since that memorable day, September 19, 1877, on which the late Cecil Rhodes devised by will a fund "to and for the establishment, promotion, and development of a secret society -- the true aim of which and object of which shall be the extension of British rule throughout the world, and especially the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire" -- the energy and intelligence of England has not been spent in vain. It would perhaps be presumptuous of me to refer here to the admirable services rendered not only by LORD NORTHCLlFFE (the probable author of the report) and the corps of 12,000 trained workers whom he introduced here during the year as purchasing agents under the direction of Sir Campbell Stuart, but also the right Honorable Arthur J. Balfour, and by Lord Reading. But my report would be incomplete without a reference to Mr. Andrew Carnegie, of Skibo Castle, Sutherlandshire, and New York City. He unobtrusively assumed the mantle of the late Mr. Cecil Rhodes. Through the Carnegie Foundation, he obtained such control over the professorate of this country that even President Wilson was a suppliant for a Carnegie pension before this people and allied gratitude placed him beyond prospective want.

The Carnegie League to Enforce Peace and its affiliate League of Small Nations are even now leading the van in our fight. In the North American Review, June 1893, Mr. Carnegie wrote: "Let men say what they will, I say that as surely as the sun in the heavens once shone upon Britain and America united, so surely is it one morning to rise, to shine upon, to greet again, the reunited state -- the British-American union."

The object of Cecil Rhodes is almost attained. The day prophesied by Mr. Carnegie is near at hand, the day when the American Colonies will be in all things one with the motherland, one and indivisible. Only the last great battle remains to be. fought -- the battle to compel her acceptance of the terms of the League of Nations."
