This conversation covers Antony C. Sutton's "Wall Street Trilogy," (https://amzn.to/46lMS0O) argues that American financial interests played a significant, often overlooked, role in supporting and shaping various totalitarian regimes. It contends that Wall Street financiers, like those from J.P. Morgan and General Electric, provided financial and technical assistance to the nascent Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and the Italian Fascist state, viewing these regimes as opportunities for economic exploitation and control rather than ideological adversaries. The text further suggests that figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt were deeply connected to these financial elites, and that his New Deal policies mirrored "corporate socialism," which centralized economic power. It also touches upon attempts by certain American business figures to establish a fascist-style government in the United States, and highlights how information regarding these connections was sometimes suppressed.

This conversation covers the book "Ponerology - The Science of Evil" (https://amzn.to/4esBSRo) from Andrew Lobaczewski's Political Ponerology explores the origins and nature of evil, particularly as it manifests in political systems. The author, a Polish psychologist who endured persecution for his research, developed the concept of "ponerology" to study how psychopathological individuals contribute to the genesis and spread of oppressive regimes, termed "pathocracies." The text discusses various personality disorders, especially psychopathy, and their role in corrupting social structures and ideologies, offering a psychological lens through which to understand historical atrocities and contemporary political issues. It also proposes methods for societal healing and resistance against such systems, emphasizing the importance of objective understanding over moralistic interpretations. Lobaczewski advocates for a future social system founded on competence, psychological awareness, and safeguards against mentally abnormal individuals gaining power, believing that understanding the phenomenon of pathocracy can immunize societies against its spellbinding influence.
