Common Personality Traits of a Bully

Some people are naturally more inclined towards thugdom.  Even in our everyday lives, we all know of people who seem to be born bullies, glorying in their power (assumed or real) over others.  Certain personality traits are common to a successful bully.  Recognizing these traits, and the psychological motivations behind them, can assist you the next time you are forced to deal with Jack-Booted Thug (JBT) - or perhaps even a possible non-uniformed bully in your own life.

NARCISSISM:  A bully is a narcissist.  He (or she) is a firm believer in his own importance.  He feels “special” and because of this “specialness” feels that the rules that apply to the rest of us do not apply to him.  A true narcissist is defined by the DSM-IV as:

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, lack of empathy, as indicated by at least five of:

1. A grandiose sense of self-importance
2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. Believes that he or she is "special" and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
4. Requires excessive admiration
5. Has a sense of entitlement, i.e. unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
6. Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. Lacks empathy and is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviours or attitudes

VINDICTIVENESS:  The vindictiveness of a thwarted bully is unparalleled.  A true thug holds close every slight, whether real or imagined.  Vengeance is a high priority on his or her list.  The bully will remember a wrong committed against him years ago in vivid detail and will seek any opportunity to avenge that wrong, whether real or perceived.  This vengeful personality will mentally enumerate a perceived lack of respect and make a point of subjugating the “perpetrator” through humiliation, threats, and sometimes violence.

LACK OF EMPATHY:  A notable lack of empathy is a common characteristic of the bully.  He or she remains completely unaffected by the suffering or embarrassment of others.  The thug lacks the conscience and remorse that govern most people and has complete confidence that his end result justifies his means of achieving it. In his personal life as well as his professional one, he operates in a detached manner that devalues others.

CONTROLLING PERSONALITY:  A natural bully has a deep psychological need to be in control of every situation.  This is why the bully is drawn to positions in which he or she has authority over others.  To maintain control, the bully uses criticism, humiliation, sarcasm, mockery and negativity - sometimes in the guise of making “helpful suggestions” – when in reality, these are tactics for control and subjugation. A thug with a controlling personality has an unparalleled ability to coerce others through manipulation.

ANGER:  A thug often suffers from “anger issues”.  He is not fettered by the moral control that governs most people.  His frustration is often increased because of failures in his personal life.  He or she generally lacks the ability to maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships – a characteristic rooted in a lack of empathy, a need for control and an inability to take responsibility for failure.  He or she often brings this frustration into the workplace, where the anger finds an outlet when vented towards select victims.  A thwarted thug can become violently angry in the blink of an eye.

Bullies and Authority: A Match Made in Heaven

While Jack Booted Thugs are present in all walks of life, they seem to be drawn to positions of imagined importance.  Law enforcement, federal agencies and the TSA abound with bullies.  It’s a match made in heaven.  These positions require background tests, IQ tests and psychological profiling, so it cannot be stated that the agencies are somehow shocked when their new employ turns out to be a card-carrying bully.  The TSA, for example, requires applicants to take a 3 hour test, part of which is a 200 question psychological profile section.

How Do Bullies Operate?

JBTs that are true bullies use the same techniques over and over in order to dominate their victims.  Your awareness of these techniques will make them less effective.

1.)    HUMILIATION:  Publicly drawing attention to a victim and embarrassing them; touching the person inappropriately, especially in front of others;  threatening to expose parts of a person’s past that they attempt to keep private – these are all attempts to manipulate a victim into cooperating.  By remaining visibly unfazed, you can maintain some control over the situation. 

2.)    THREAT OF HARM:  A bully might use superior size or fitness, a weapon or words in order to intimidate a victim.  Don’t make the mistake of thinking that the thug will not become violent – under the protection of a badge many bullies feel invincible.  Witnesses and documentation are your best weapons against the threat of harm.  If you can, draw attention to yourself and the situation, you will be safer – bullies are like cockroaches – they do not like the light and prefer to operate in secrecy. 

3.)    ISOLATION:  If public humiliation is ineffective, a bully will often isolate his victim in order to increase control.  In an isolated situation, the victim has no proof of what has occurred – it is her word against the bully’s word, and if the bully is an “authority figure” he generally feels confident that he is the one who will be believed.  In an isolation situation the bully might resort to inappropriate touching, threat of rape or other sexual assault, threat of violence, or threat of secret future vengeance.  (“You’ll never see me coming.”)  A bully can be emboldened by a lack of audience.  If you are isolated by a bully you are at your most vulnerable.  In this situation, your first step is to attempt to summon a witness.  Depending on the situation, a victim may be able to discern whether the threats are realistic or not.  If it seems that no assistance is imminent and you must remain in the isolated situation, it may be necessary to give the impression of cooperation to survive the encounter.

Above all, when faced with thuggery, remain calm and keep your personal safety your first priority.  Maintain your situational awareness and as soon as you are away from the encounter, document everything you can remember while your recollection is fresh.  You might be forced to comply initially but you can fight back after the fact by going to the alternative media with your story, registering complaints with the agency in charge, and filing civil suits against both the agency and the perpetrator.

As our system becomes more and more corrupt, JBTs and bullies in uniform will become increasingly prevalent.  It is a sign of our impending police state that a bullying personality is now an asset in certain workplaces.  Expect this, know your rights, and stay your course.

The Resistance Needs YOU

Not all freedom fighters are decked out in camouflage and armed to the teeth, ready to take on the entire corrupt US government in a bloody fight to the death.

Not all freedom fighters are operating secretly, in little groups, surreptitiously planning ways to undermine the efforts of the NWO and Agenda 21.

Not all freedom fighters fall into the categories of being a grizzled and disillusioned veteran, a crazy young rebel, or a well-groomed statesmen, attempting to get enough votes to be able to implement changes.

If you want to see the Freedom Fighters that will turn America around and take her back to her Constitutional roots, then look in the mirror.  Yeah, you.

It's up to all of us - the regular, everyday Joes and Janes, to take the country back.  The Resistance is going to be made up of soccer moms, grandparents, college students, and construction workers.  The army of the Resistance is you and me - the ones who see what is happening and feel compelled to stop it.

Of course, it's much easier to be an armchair revolutionary, typing "Oooh Rah" on our keyboard in a comment on a Patriot website.  Actually mobilizing to make a difference is more difficult.

The time has come when there must be action behind the thoughts.  No, Men In Black, don't come get me, because I'm not promoting violence.  I am promoting a large collection of voices saying

NO

We have to become the squeaky wheels.  The mainstream media is the enemy and they aren't going to educate people about the reality of what is going on.  We have to make news big enough that they have to cover it in order to answer the questions of the people.  We must use our freedom of speech while we still have it.

Is it risky?  Certainly.  Could it put you on "a list"?  Very likely.  Consider, though, if you are reading this article and others like it, that bell has been rung and you are decidedly on the list of people to watch.  Could I be putting myself and my family at risk for retaliation?  Absolutely - you must be as careful as possible to remain safe.

What it boils down to is this:  No war was ever won, no revolution was ever fought, and no resistance ever succeeded, in which the people did nothing.  Apathy will get you exactly what you are getting now, ever-dwindling freedoms that are given and taken through the machinations of those who are not here to look after the best interests of the people.

YOU are the resistance.  You can choose to do nothing, like a great number of readers will, and just bemoan the fate of the nation, or you can choose to take action.  Even if that action doesn't succeed, every word we say out loud spreads the word of discontent that much further.

Here are some easy ways to mobilize.  Just choose one and take half an hour to fight for your country today:

VOLUNTEER TO AID IN ELECTIONS. 

If there is a vote occurring near you, find out how you can help.  The Republican primaries this year have been nothing but a joke, with  More than a month after the fact, the Iowa caucus results keep getting recounted with different results, South Carolina proved that 953 DEAD PEOPLE  were apparently still civic-minded enough to vote, and FIFTEEN STATES DO NOT REQUIRE PHOTO ID TO CAST A VOTE., leaving those votes open to question as well. As discovered by the Ron Paul campaign, our election system is seriously compromised and many watchful eyes are needed to make sure the rules get followed. 

REFUTE THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA

Instead of simply preaching to the choir on patriot websites where everyone is on the same page already, consider logging on to the mainstream news sites and spreading your truth there.  Use the comments section and spend some time putting seriously considered comments to exposes the lies and the blackouts of the media.  Don't let your message get lost in abusive language or insults, simply take the time to submit a rebuttal to the status quo.  This is one way to get the word out to people who rely simply on the mainstream.

USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO YOUR BENEFIT.

Despite the fact that I spend lots of blog time sharing the pitfalls of Facebook, Google and the rest of the nation's cyber spy system, I consider it to be knowing my enemy.  Many people can be reached through social media networking that might otherwise remain in the dark.  I have over 700 "friends" on Facebook, having lived in a lot of places.  Every time I post a link to a good article on my Wall, those 700 people are exposed to it.  If 10 of the 700 say, hey, that's interesting, and share it, then I reach all of their friends too.  Social Media is a tool that can get the word out in exponential numbers.

If you aren't on Facebook or any of the networking sites, just your own email contact list is another way to share information.  Find a blog that points things out in a way that you'd like to share?  Forward it to everyone on your list.  If you don't want to hit everyone, target the people that you think might be starting to see that something is wrong in this country.

PROTEST

While I'm not 100% on board with the goals (or lack thereof) of the Occupy movement, the thing I am forced to admire is how they MADE the media cover them through sheer volume of the people who showed up.  No matter what awful things the Gestapo police put them through, they continued to stand strong. 

The Occupyers brought a lot of media attention to the abuses of the police and to the fact that their right to peacefully assemble was being denied.

The solidarity of standing with others against injustice is not to be underestimated.  Engage respectfully and protect your safety, and then go out there and say "NO."

BE THE SQUEAKY WHEEL

We've all heard that phrase, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.  Well, be that squeaky wheel.  When you see injustice or trampling of constitutional rights, say something and say it persistently.  You can send emails to all parties involved.  You can send emails to groups who would be likewise appalled by what you've discovered.  You can ask for meetings with local councilmen and law enforcement bigwigs.  You can write letters to the editor of your local paper.  You can make flyers and stand there and hand them out to let people know what is going on.  You can take your local government to court over infractions.  However far and publicly you take it is up to you.  Just remember to engage intelligently and persistently.

DON'T ALLOW MEDIA BLACKOUTS

We've all been witness to the ongoing media blackout of the Ron Paul campaign.  Dr. Paul has been ignored, disrespected and treated as a third line candidate.  Only through the well-coordinated efforts of his staffers and volunteers does he receive the positive publicity given for free to the other, more governmentally cooperative candidates.  Other media blackouts include:
Monsanto's former executive MICHEAL TAYLOR HAS BEEN HANDED THE REINS OF THE FDA
In Sicily the mobilization of thousands of citizens in THE PITCHFORK MOVEMENT (they don't want us to get any bright ideas from the Sicilians)
The complete echoing lack of coverage of the SYRIAN CRISIS

We can combat media blackouts by making sure the alternative websites get the stories.  We can also inundate the mainstream media sources with emails asking why a topic is not being covered.  We can send email blasts using their contact pages, as well as pointing it out vigorously in the comments sections.


This Resistance to the tyrannists who have overturned the government isn't going to be won by guns blazing and bombs going off.  It is going to be won by everyday people saying

NO

Please share comments or ideas about local ways that people can get involved and bring to light the subtle undermining of our way of life.  Don't be an armchair patriot!  Get involved today - do ONE THING to shed light on a dark evil corner of new fascism surreptitiously creeping it's way across America.



Cell Phones: The New Bat Signal

In the United States there are more cell phones in use than there are people.  CELL PHONE USAGE IN AMERICA IS CURRENTLY AT 103%.  Basically this means that virtually every person in the United States has one or more cell phones currently activated and in use.

Cell phones seem like an innocuous way to keep in touch with the kids, to access the internet from any location, and a way to call for help if your car breaks down.

In reality, though, the phone attached to your hip is not so innocuous.  This part of everyday American culture is little more than a personal locator that can be activated at any point in time by persons who may or may not have our best interests at heart. Because it's entertaining, modern and cool to have, we gobble it up without a second thought towards our privacy.

Your locator beacon mobile device has a lot of little tricks of which you may be unaware.

Since 2002, the FCC has mandated that ALL cellphones be equipped with a GPS locator.  The technology was mandated under the guise of response to 911 calls.  ALL cellphones can be tracked to within 50-200 meters of your physical location.

That's great if you need to call 911, but where does that leave you in terms of physical personal privacy?

Well, not only can the government and law enforcement locate you at will, regular folks with nefarious purposes can also do so.  Dozens of websites like howtotrackacellphone.org can help anyone channel his or her inner James Bond.

If your cell phone is with you and turned on, you may as well shine the bat signal into the sky and say, "Come and get me!!!"

The reality is that anyone can locate you at any time.  YOUR CELL PHONE IS A PERSONAL LOCATOR BEACON.  For law enforcement purposes it will find you using the same technology used on a parolee with an ankle bracelet.

The invasion of your privacy doesn't end with merely your physical location, however.  

The FBI can use something called a ROVING BUG with which they can tap into your phone calls, unbeknownst to you.  Not only can they listen to the calls made on your phone, but they can activate the microphone and listen to conversations you are having in proximity of the phone.  Even if the phone is turned off, the microphone can be activated. The only way to escape the roving bug is by removing the battery.

In Michigan, the state police have a handy dandy little device called a "data extractor".  A MOBILE FORENSIC EXTRACTION DEVICE is a hand held gadget that can take information directly from your cell phone, such as recent text messages, phone numbers dialed, and calls received.  It can also gather deleted information, user passwords and file dumps.  The Michigan State Police have commented that the device is only used with a warrant or with permission.  Thank goodness we can always trust what police officers say...oh wait...it isn't against the law for them to lie. 

The FBI, by the way, is where it's at for cool gadgets these days.  A technology called TRIGGERFISH actually simulates a cell tower, taking your call and routing it, while also, of course, listening to it and pinpointing your location.  The fun of Triggerfish is that no warrant is necessary.  No probable cause is required.  The users of this technology answer to no one regarding their snooping.

All of these things can be classified as "for the greater good."  We can find missing children via the GPS in their cell phone.  Police can see if the occupants of a vehicle pulled over for a traffic stop are joking via text about the drugs or firearms in the car.  The FBI can heroically catch the bad guys.

There are some ways to protect yourself...read THIS ARTICLE  to find out how...but keep in mind, despite our best efforts to defend ourselves from intrusion, Big Brother has more resources to find new ways to keep an eye on us.

Unfortunately all that good stuff comes at a very high price.  That price is the freedom of your very thoughts and personal communications.

The words penned by Benjamin Franklin way back in 1759 are ringing eerily prophetic in today's technological police state.

 "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
