One simple method for dispelling sociopathic delusion is to start fact checking their claims. Do any of their claims actually check out? If you start digging, you will usually find an inconsistency. Confront the suspected sociopath with the inconsistency and see what happens: Most sociopaths will become angry or aggressive when their integrity is questioned, whereas a sane person would simply be happy to help clear up any misinformation or misunderstanding.

Watch the April 27-2011 news conference (youtube) where Obama announces the scanned BC his lawyers released (not him)- notice how he gets agitated when he knows the reporters are getting ready to bombard him with questions- notice how he gets defensive, makes up an excuse and then runs away from the news conference without taking one question-- he has the hammer- his "real" Hawaii BC, to smash the birthers once and for all and what does he do?-- he runs away! Anyone who wants to examine Obama's documents- like school records, is always visciously attacked by the inner circle. There is never any cooperation to clear up discrepancies with what Obama says happened and what research has shown to be different. Even a new PBS documentary couldn't find one person who saw Obama at Columbia university- not one professor, not one student-- it was all ignored- they went on to Harvard-

I have heard some people say that JFK was a sociopath. I have heard many say that Nixon was one.

Perhaps all presidents (and most presidential candidates) have some sociopathic tendencies in order to run and win the office.

Beware of fact-checking the sociopath by asking other people under his or her influence. A sociopath will usually have a small group of cult-like followers who not only believe their fictional tales, but who actually internalize those fictions to the point where they rewrite their own memories to be consistent with them. If a guru-style sociopath talks about his "levitation sessions" over and over again, some of his believers will sooner or later start to form false memories in which they imagine seeing him levitate off the floor. So if you ask those people, "Did you actually ever see this person levitate?" They will enthusiastically say, "Yes!" Because in their own minds, that illusion has become something indistinguishable from a vivid memory.

That's why fact-checking a sociopath requires evidence from outside his circle of influence. Does anything he say actually check out in the real world, outside his sphere of direct control? If not, you've probably spotted a sociopath.

I WONDER HOW MANY ELDERS ARE SOCIOPATHS? ANY GUESSTIMATIONS? I am pretty sure I have met some. When they say " amen " then the crazies begin.

I like this point:

#1) Think for yourself. Be skeptical of everything. Most people, corporations, governments and institutions are lying to you. There is much good in the world, but there is far more selfishness and greed which is falsely presented as that which is good.

I am skeptical about most people lying to me. I hope that is not the case.
