LEFT’S KEY PSYCHOLOGY
The father- and family-hatred of the left, memorialized with glee and scholarship by Kiwi psychologist (and theologian) Kerry Bolton (The Psychotic Left*), was given a personal account by Britain’s leading rightist broadcaster, the humbly Jewish-fathered Melanie Phillips, who reported on how her fellow Guardianistas of the early-1980s had reacted savagely to being spurned in the post-Thatcher era (as they realized their dreams of managing ‘the economy’ had vaporized, so they had to concentrate on ‘the long march through the institutions’ which would abolish fathers and families alike and let the left control the major job-creation programmes of ‘health,’ ‘education’ and local misgovernment (whereby Britain’s potholes in its roads approached New York if not Indian proportions)) (Sunday Mail, 5 v).
* Foreword to K.R.BOLTON, 2013, "The Psychotic Left", London : Black House Press.
Once upon a time, everyone understood politics. Conservatives conserved; Liberals liberated; the left disliked the elite; the right disliked underdogs; Socialists provided the shock troops and cash to achieve the more material liberal objectives more quickly, at least for the industrial worker; and businessmen funded select liberal-conservative efforts such as churches.
The Second World War provided a terminal shock to this happy system. For the left had largely backed pacifism through the 1930s; and then backed the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939-41. So it had some adapting to do as Russia and America were dragged into the War and eventually won it. The left’s immediate past of accepting National Socialism needed to be forgotten.
As was so often to be true for the modern left, help was at hand. The 1945 opening of the Nazi gas chambers (unmatched by any comparable revelation of the freezing death camps of Siberia) meant it could be said that the War had been fought for Jewish underdogs against anti-Semitism (it being conveniently neglected that Stalin was just as murderously anti-Semitic as Hitler).
Jewish intellectuals who had escaped the Holocaust to America and Britain were delighted to oblige. Understandably determined to prevent any recurrence of the Jews’ latest persecution, they (in particular the Frankfurt School, relocated to California) set about analysing (psychoanalysing) what they represented as the right – for the national-socialist Hitler had to be demonized, and conservatives (most of whom had also not been keen for another war with Germany) along with him.
The analysis would work like a dream. It was that conservatives were a fundamentally neurotic lot who required heavy authority to contain their disorganized repressed urges. Hitler was to be turned into a role model of conservatism even though it was only people like the liberal-conservative Churchill and Eysenck who had sacrificed themselves for a decade to oppose Hitler. That Hitler had had the works of Freud (and many other modernists) burned in the streets of Berlin, or otherwise banned, was supposedly a graphic testimony to the right’s essential ‘authoritarianism.’ The unwillingness of conservatives to accept the 20th century’s demand for sexual realism had stimulated the major popular support for Communism against the Russian church-and-state autocracy of 1917. Now it was to provide the main intellectual ammunition against the post-’45 Western right. It was known that Hitler had suppressed (indeed murdered the leaders of) the popular socialist homosexual wing of his party. It was not known that Hitler had enjoyed his own sado-paedophilic sexual perversions – and that ‘repression’ of these had been entirely the work of Goebbels as the Nazis took power.
The analysis of sex-suppressing father-venerating conservatives struggling to contain themselves and thus inflicting their neuroses on the world had a resonance which was quite unmatched by any ability of conservatives to explain themselves, let alone make counterpropaganda. American conservatives mounted the McCarthy Era; but this had little intellectual influence, especially once Russia got the Bomb. And British conservatives were understandably unwilling to attempt explanations for how they had allowed the UK to be sucked into warfare which finally bankrupted Britain and lost its Empire.
Yet help for the right too was at hand. The Hitler-hating Berlin born-and-bred Jewish psychologist, Hans Eysenck, relocated to London, was no slouch at understanding that the left of his youth had been fully a match in psychopathology for the supposed right. By 1954, to the immense aggravation of the British liberal-left elite (annoyance eventually costing him a knighthood), Eysenck began to maintain that the left and at least the Hitlerian right had much in common. In particular, in their materialism and readiness for violence, they were ‘tough-minded’ and lacking in the gentler ways of idealism and empathy.
Although the left was shocked by this comparison, Eysenck went on to develop his understanding – becoming the first to demonstrate a genetic basis for the trait. Finally, Eysenck concluded that there was (as he had suspected back in 1947) a trait of Psychoticism which subsumed tough-mindedness and needed adding to his famous personality theory (long known for its main dimensions of Neuroticism and Extraversion – about which his students jokingly gave the sign of the Cross). By the 1990s, Eysenck wrote at length about Psychoticism (P) – linking it especially to criminality and paranoia, though also to creativity in the arts.
What Kerry Bolton’s book does is to provide full and hilarious detail as to the correctness of Eysenck’s hard-worked psychometric-psychological understanding. Bolton’s highly entertaining survey uses the latest biographical information about such figures of the left as Marx, Marcuse, Manson, Maslow and Bader-Meinhof. Convincingly, it documents the horrors of the father- and family-hating horrors of leading leftists who agitated a whole generation while themselves suffering psychosis (most often ‘bipolar’, i.e. manic-depressive) or at least narcissistic psychopathy, and not uncommonly ending in suicide.
Engagingly, Bolton also spells out the next twist in the saga of high-P leftism. Yes, not content with being psychotic themselves, far-leftists of the 1970s even turned to venerating madness – regarding the lunatic as shock troops in their battle against the ‘oppressive bourgeois authority’ of Western doctors and the drug companies which backed them. Amusingly, one crackpot author, of The Death of the Family, collapsed into schizophrenia soon after he had written his anti-psychiatry rant – and had to be looked after by, yes, his own family.
Of course, since those days the left (always more ingenious than the right) has moved on to select new underdogs who might help champion its revolutionary family-hating cause. It has taken trouble to keep the feminists (feminazies) of Western female ‘minority’ roughly onside; and in particular – as embourgeoisification stripped it of any hope of skilled working class support – it has backed ethnic minorities (notably Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and even Palestinians) and demonized opponents as racists and paedophiles.
One day, new biographies will hopefully provide a new Bolton with fresh happy detail of the personality disorders of ‘anti-racists’ and allied champions of the handicapped and homosexual. But meantime the left’s shock troops are succeeding well. With the help of business interests which need multiculturalism to replace the workforce which the left’s domination of the schools has ruined, the left dominates the purposeless West.
Reading The Psychotic Left will be an eye-opener for many. The supposed repressive neuroses of the right pale in comparison with the selfish, vicious paranoia of the left (sometimes assisted by drug use and demonstrable brain damage). That the right has not been able to stand up to left-wing rubbish – turning in a generation from backing the Jews (by now too successful) to backing their arch-enemy Muslims – should attract the attention of all serious people and politicians. How can the right have failed to prevent the growth of socialist states all over the West with policies of filling themselves up with third-world immigrants to make up for their own failure to breed eugenically and educate their young to the maximum (according to ability)?
Of course, the right has failed to adopt the truly noble popular modern cause of backing love, sex, traditional marriage and the family. Like the Church before it, it has been resistant to encouraging people in their own favoured form of society. Instead, it has backed economic liberalism, which fell prey to socialist schemes of subprime mortgaging and essentially blew itself up in 2008 and is now dependent on borrowing from future generations. Probably the family-venerating Chinese will sweep all before them as the West collapses under the ridiculous burdens which the psychotics of the left have helped impose. But this book will allow a most enjoyable moment of re-thinking – a new chance to accept what Eysenck first began to explain academically in 1954.

LABOUR MASTER-PLAN SEEN BY ALL
Though the official peecee line for a decade had been that ‘integration’ of 3rd-world immigrants was an important aspiration ‘going forward’, and that ‘issues’ of immigration might be discussed without accusations of racism {some hope!}, the reality was revealed in an analysis of the 2011 census figures (from Birkbeck College, London): even then, no less than 4.6M (45%) of Britain’s ‘minority’ people were actually living in council areas where they were in a majority – Whites having fled from the advancing tide of noise, rudeness, threats, washing lines outside windows and gaudy curtains (D.Mail, 6 v). By 2011, only 10% of people in Britain lived in areas that were 98%-or-more White.
{The wife and I visited one such charming area the other week, Hawick [pop. 14K], deep in the delightful Scottish Borders, in celebration of our thirteen happy years together. Sunshine greeted our May 2, as it had in 2000. Not a Bleck or Peki in sight – just one Turkish restaurant; no rubbish on the streets; excellent beer [Abbot’s Ale]; tinkling streams, rolling hills; plenty of wood furniture; a famous rugby club; plenty of jewellers; far more butchers than on Edinburgh’s Southside [where E.LU. students prefer fast foods]; English spoken with clarity; politeness and friendliness everywhere. And eventually we found one of the shops selling cashmere, for which Hawick is traditionally famous, as well as for its boiled Balls.}
PAEDOHYSTERIA POOH-POOHED
Busty blue-eyed and brave blonde ‘Corrie’ actress, Helen Flanagan, 22 (and voted the UK’s Sexiest Woman), became the first celebrity to defend any of the 80-yr-old BBC ‘paedophiles’ arrested lately for ‘crimes’ with (eager) weenies dating back forty years, saying in particular that actor Bill Roache deserved respect (D.Mail, 6 v).
However, there was no stopping peecee cops, who – preferring to pester celebrities rather than burglars -- arrested Liverpool comedy legend, Jimmy Tarbuck, 73, on suspicion of hanky-panky with a young boy in the 1970s (Sun, 7 v).
BOOST FOR NATIONALISM
Britain’s nearest thing to a popular race-realist party, UKIP [really the English National Party], got a boost as former (Thatcherite) Chancellor, Lord Lawson of Blaby, 81, backed its star policy of withdrawal from the EU (he called it “a bureaucratic monstrosity”); and Germany’s former (social-democrat) finance minister Oskar Lafontaine, 69, said it was time to break up the eurozone, allowing ClubMed to go its own way into corruption, tax evasion, bunga-bunga, pseudo-polygamy, rioting, garlic, sour red wine etc (D.Mail, 7 v).
CRIME LINKED TO ETHNICITY
Prominent Norwegian MP Per Sandberg (leader of the Opposition Progress Party) called for groups of Romanian, Bulgarian and French tourists to be turned back at Norway’s borders because of their notorious criminality (D.Mail, 7 v).
{In the previous decade, Oslo had been transformed by mindless immigration from being a safe place where people often did not lock their doors into a multiculti hellhole with areas as ghastly as south-east London and northern Paris.}
POLICE STATE BRITAIN
The growing tendency of police to mount out-of-the-blue dawn raids and arrests (as in the case of bumboy Deputy HoC Speaker Evans) was properly noted as worrying by the Mail’s Richard Littlejohn. Apparently cops had realized that such horribly threatening and intrusive manoeuvres – accompanied in cases of celebrities by a posse of paparazzi with flashbulbs -- spared them the need to obtain a search warrant from a magistrate (7 v).
{RL could have added that swoops on people’s computers essentially forced suspects to testify against themselves – in violation of the historic right of the accused to silence.}
GERMANY INVADED
Hope that Germany might turn against EU-organized mass migration rose as Germany had had to take in 1.1M immigrants in 2012 – a 13% increase on previous annual levels. 40% increases were seen from Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland etc. Gypsies seemed to head especially for Den Peschen, a run-down area of the old industrial town of Duisburg on the Rhine; but mayors of several German cities complained of increases in crime and filth (D.Mail, 8 v).
BRITAIN DUE FOR XENOPHOBIA
The ‘Conservative’ Party (which had long ceased to ‘conserve’ anything) found itself in a new crisis (probably terminal) as top Tory Michael Portillo (a yag once tipped for the leadership) joined top Tory Chancellor Lord Lawson in saying that Britain would have to leave the EU. At the same time, Lady Thatcher’s official biographer, the Telegraph’s Charles Moore, revealed that, by the end of her premiership, Mags had reached the same conclusion; and respected Labour heavyweight ex-Chancellor Lord Denis Healey, 95 (who had helped take Britain ‘into Europe’ in 1975), said Britain would actually be better off out (Channel 4, 9 v).
Star anti-abortion MP Nadine Dorries was readmitted to the ‘Conservatives’ (after naughty cavortings in the jungle for ‘I’m a Celebrity’) and was given a champagne reception by her fellow anti-EU colleague David Davis.
All this was a tremendous endorsement of UKIP. The preference of leader Daft Dave and rival blond Bouncing BoJo remained for ‘renegotiation’ of Britain’s terms of membership – which former Chancellor Lord Lamont thought only remotely possible; but whether they and GrossMutti Merkel could see their way to a Nordic League was unknown.
{Britain’s historical belief in its ‘special relationship’ with the USA looked shaky as President Barry Hussein couldn’t care less about it and was anyhow completing America’s disaster in Vietnam with fresh catastrophes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Pakistan, Libya, Syria and the East China Sea.}
{As if the undermining of the UK’s major (expensive) multicultural projects of the 20th century – with America and the EU -- weren’t enough, PM Daft Dave decided to upset China (which had £8B invested in the UK) by fraternizing with the sweet but loopy Dalai Lama who had spent 50 years watching his own country, Tibet, going to the dogs (famed largely for its monks immolating themselves), and was lately preoccupied praying that Buddhist monks would cease their ‘savage ethnic violence’ against Muslims in Burma. Whether DD’s annually pumping £.5B into murderous bin-Liner-protective Pakiland would buy any friendship remained to be seen....}
PAEDOHYSTERIA DENOUNCED
Following my utilitarian lead of 1996 (whether knowingly or unknowingly), brave English barrister Barbara Hewson said cops’ post-Savile paedohunt, Operation Yewtree, was akin to the Spanish Inquisition, that do-gooders whingeing about largely harmless paedophilia was similar to making homosexuality illegal, that ‘low-level misdemeanours’ such as those to which BBC celebrity Stuart Hall had confessed should not be prosecuted and that the age of consent might be lowered to 13 (Daily Mirror, 10 v).
BH was threatened online (in ‘social media’) with rape and being ‘hunted into obscurity’; but, though censured by the officially paedohysterical NSPCC, she deplored ‘the persecution of old men’ and said Operation Yewtree posed a "far graver threat" to society than Savile, and that the "low-level misdemeanours" with which Stuart Hall had been charged with were "nothing like serious crime" (Huffington Post, 9 v).
ETHNIES GO TO IT
It came out that 185 had died and hundreds of homes had been burned down in mid-April in an attempted Muesli insurgency into the dirt-poor Nigerian town of Baga (Guardian, 10 v). Failure to police borders (with the help of steel fencing and barbed wire) had invited the Mueslis to have a go, armed by the West which had supplied copious weaponry (so that the ‘Arab Spring’ rebels of Libya could overthrow the West’s own favourite dictator of the 21st century, Mustafa Gadawfu Grant for the LSE).
EMPIRE NEEDED
The incompetence and corruption of post-imperial Pakiland went on full display as the collapse of a grossly overcrowded building (used as a clothes factory staffed by slave females when it had been intended as office space) turned out to have killed more than 1K Paks ooops Bangladeshis.
At the same time, leading political contender, the once-cricketer Imran Khan, was dropped from a forklift truck, breaking several ribs and fracturing his spine; a son of an ex-PM was abducted by Muesli goons; and 130 more died (at the hands of Tallyho militants) as Peks mounted a general election (won by the country’s biggest cash machine).
The 180M-strong country seethed with anti-Americanism – though where Paks thought their money for their nuclear-armed forces would come if they kicked out their incompetent 60-yr demakrazy-mad benefactor was unclear.
SUPERVISION THE ANSWER
Britain’s Coalition Gubmint decided to follow up (knowingly or unknowingly) on my 1971 idea (published in New Society) that more supervision was the main answer to crime – my idea had (via omnipresent video) for forty years provided the only answer to pressures for increased criminality unleashed by third-world immigration and lax taxation of drink and drugs. But just how HMG proposed to pay probation officers for the vast planned increase in their workloads was obscure (Guardian, 10 v).
JOY OF CUBAN/MEXICAN DIVERSITY IN CLEVELAND
As the leisurely/peecee Ohio police ‘inquiry’ into the 10-yr-long kidnapping, beating and raping of three young women failed to reveal anything definite about even the ethnicity of the accused or how his captives could have failed to overpower him or at least scream for help, it gradually emerged that, as well as the chief suspect being surnamed Castro, a brother was first-named Pedro (another brother Onil), his wife (probably killed by him) was a Figueroa and his white-haired mother a Rodriguez – who tearfully told journalists in Spanish of her sorrow at her 51-yr son’s naughtiness.
The peecee idiots of Cleveland {where, just off the plane from Edinburgh, I had to demand exit from a taxi as the Black driver turned out to know nothing about his city} had evidently failed to ‘integrate’ the Castros over a long period – and actually regarded the accused rapist-in-chief as a thoroughly nice sociable chap.... (The accused Castro called himself a “sex addict.”)
PLUS ҪA CHANGE....
Problems of Black laziness and uppitiness (enhanced no doubt by low IQ and compensation-seeking) first identified by nineteenth-century White farmers in America and South Africa (leading to Blacks being replaced with Chinese and Indian labour) were identified by the New York Times as continuing, leading to employers of manual labour preferring Mexicans to Blacks (6 v).
EGALITARIAN BLOCKHEADS
The left’s drive to have everyone defined by state bureaucracy rather than reality (sex, race, IQ, sexual orientation etc) reached a new level of stupidity as American drinkers found themselves required to produce paper or plastic ‘proof’ that they were over 18 – even when they had white hair and wrinkles (Wall Street Journal, 2 iv).
The Noo Yawk Yankees’ bar asked for identification cards from beer buyers of all ages. So did the Boston Celtics; the Fairway supermarket chain, which had stores in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut; liquor stores in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; and lots of other spots scattered around the country. Quite a few state and local governments had gone in for it, too. The official peecee point was to eliminate the ‘guesswork’ and social goofs that sometimes seemed to go with making sure under-18s didn’t drink.
A prime place to dig for the sometimes-tangled roots of the card-the-codgers phenomenon was Blockheads, which had a bar on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The manager, 33-year-old Vicky Contreras, was at a table there one afternoon, doing the accounts.“We card everyone,” she said. “It’s procedure. You can’t ask for ID from young people and not old people. That’s profiling!”
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EXPOSED
The hopelessness of over-promoting Blacks was made clear as a Mr Shaun Bailey, a Black of relatively humble origins in west London (and an equally humble degree from South Bank Poly), complained he had been shunted from his £60Kpa job as “special adviser” to PM Daft Dave on issues of race and crime to a “non-job” where he no longer had the PM’s ear (Daily Telegraph, 11 v, p.1).
{Presumably he must have been really incompetent for Downing Street to risk the bad publicity of ‘letting go’ this poster boy for its ‘modernizing’ ‘anti-racism.’ Still, his latest part-time position as “champion” for the underclasses, still netted him £36Kpa....}
BONGO BONGO ITALIA
Italy put on a fine display of racism ooops race realism as the latest of its cobbled-together governments included as a minister Black 48-yr-old Cecile Kyenge, an eye surgeon from the Congo {Shurely shome mishtake? – Ed.*} who was swiftly denounced as a Zulu in social media sites.
The most extreme remarks were made by Mario Borghezio, an Italian member of the European Parliament who had made incendiary remarks about immigrants in the past. In an interview with a radio station, Borghezio, from the anti-immigration Northern League, accused Kyenge of wanting to “impose her tribal traditions from the Congo” on Italy.
He was referring to the new minister’s support for a change to laws which still restricted the children of immigrants from applying for Italian citizenship until they reached the age of 18.
Borghezio said the inclusion of Kyenge in the new administration of prime minister Enrico Letta made it a “a bonga bonga government”– an off-color quip which referenced the so-called “bunga bunga” antics of ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi. “You can’t say the word ‘nigger’ in Italy, only think it,” Borghezio added. “Pretty soon you won’t even be able to say illegal immigrant – you’ll have to say ‘your excellence’.”
* My own experiences of Black medicine have been uniformly negative. A Bleck hospital doctor made a mess of stitching up my chin after a cycle accident; a Bleck optician made out an incorrect prescription for glasses – from which I suffered for six years till the specs broke and a White optician provided relief; and a fat Black female GP drove my mama into Alzheimers by failing to diagnose she had brainrotting bulus penfigold after a bee sting.
OUT WITH BIOLOGICAL MEDICINE!
Britain’s loopy (anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic) ‘British Psychological Society,’ led by pop ‘psychologist’ Oliver James, declared that psychiatry was bunk – in particular that the classical diagnoses of schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis had no reality (Observer, 12 v).
{Just how these ailments were demonstrably heritable and much relieved by drugs was left obscure by the psycholotashits of the BPS.}
