For @IvotedT

This is a useful tweet for defining a few terms.

@realDonaldTrump is also wrongly accused of narcissism by people who don't know what it means.

What are the traits of a narcissist?

Has an exaggerated sense of self-importance.
Has a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive
admiration.
Expects to be recognized as superior even without
achievements that warrant it.

Exaggerates own achievements and talents.
Is preoccupied with fantasies about success, power,
brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate.
Believes they are superior and can only associate with
equally special people.

Monopolizes conversations and belittle or look down on
people they perceive as inferior
Expects special favors and unquestioning compliance with
their expectations.
Takes advantage of others to get what they want.

Has an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and
feelings of others.
Is envious of others and believes others envy them.
Behaves in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across
as conceited, boastful and pretentious.

Insists on having the best of everything — for instance, the
best car or office.
Becomes impatient or angry when they don't receive
special treatment
Has significant interpersonal problems and easily feel
slighted.

Reacts with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other
person to make themselves appear superior.

humiliation. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662

The Qatriot calls me a narcissistic hermit.

Not possible.

'Nuff said about me being a narcissistic.

But notice that the Qatriot that I was talking about HIM.

Did I say a WORD about Qanon?

When you think you're the center of everybody's attention, and everybody's talking about YOU, guess what THAT is called?

Yup.

And.

Psychological deflection.

What's that?

Deflection is an intense focus upon and antagonism toward the legitimacy of the actions, feelings, and beliefs of others and an intense misdirection of attention away from the actions, feelings, and beliefs of the self.

Finally, we have projection.

What's that?

Projection is attributing one’s own unacceptable traits to others. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/projection

Oh, if only I could be normal enough to be a narcissist who engages in deflection and projection!

Well, that's not possible.

I am a 100 percent outsider.

Completely abnormal on every level, but also completely self-aware.

And not afraid to admit my abnormality.

As I wrote before, I went through a meat grinder.

It took me 50 years to emerge.

I was ground up for five decades.

You can come back from that.

BUT.

You can still make a life.

When I write here, I have to get your attention. The first tweet has to hook you.

I know how to do that.

I always provide EVIDENCE.

I always tell you that I may be wrong.

The only reason that I revealed what I did for two countries was that I was advised to do so.

I'm told I'm not in any danger.

But you can't be too careful.

See, WE ARE THERE.

The final battle.

The feds were expecting EVERYTHING except highly trained sectarian death squads supported by American politicians and protected by law enforcement.

But now they know.

It allows Trump to take off the gloves.

Like @IvotedT our enemies are as innocent as newborn kittens in certain ways.

There's a great short story called Doomsday Deferred, by Murray Leinster writing as Will F. Jenkins (1949).

It's about Brazilian army ants that have somehow become as intelligent as humans.

But the intelligence extends only to the problem-solving ability.

They remain as innocent as...ants.

Oopsie.

Interesting that AGAIN, the Qatriot thought I was talking about him.

But he's lying.

He lost it over my VERY FIRST TWEET.

He quoted it.

I'm not part of ANY group.

It's not possible.

ALL HERDS REJECT ME.

The two friends I had in my life knew they were going to die young, as they did.

THEY approached ME. We became close friends instantly.

I once had a 17-hour conversation with a French GIGN (Groupe d'intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale) operator.

French police special-operations unit that works all over the world.

This operator approached ME. We spoke about EVERYTHING.

You know what it is?

Death.

Ask any combat veteran or police officer.

The average civilian gets freaked out just by knowing what they do.

All veterans and cops want is to be treated as normal.

They don't talk about darkness except to those who've shared the experience.

My two friends and the GIGN operator had an intimate knowledge of death, as do I.

Much more so that I'll ever reveal on Twitter.

One friend was a quadriplegic who wanted to kill himself. we talked about it as often as he wanted.

It didn't bother me.

The other friend was a severe asthmatic who knew that he would die young.

We never mentioned his condition.

Who nows how many people the GIGN operator had killed?

They were all men who loved roaming, formless conversation.

They saw the death in me, and they sensed that I have the same love of discussing EVERYTHING.

So they approached me, and we hit it off.

It was enough.

Yes, I despise people who make everything into a joke.

I despise people who believe transparent nonsense.

If that doesn't describe YOU, than you shouldn't be getting angry.

You see how often people who follow me insult me.

Usually I agree with them, and they go away confused.

Puny minds can't cope with an unscripted world.

The problem with groups--as the angry Qatriot is showing--is that they almost always evolve into intolerant movement that attack unbelievers.

Qanon plays no role in my life.

I hardly ever even think about it.

Sometimes it's in the news, and sometimes people post something here that they attribute to Qanon, but the only thing I've ever pointed out is that it's NOT a conspiracy theory because it's not an explanation for a conspiracy.

"The Las Vegas mass shooter was a BATF asset killed by the Islamic State, who then used his guns to try and kill Mohammed bin Salman" is a conspiracy theory.

"Charles Manson was a CIA asset" is a conspiracy theory.

The term "conspiracy theory" is misused as "a nutty idea shared by a group."

The Democrats spread TONS of conspiracy theories about Trump.

He's working with the Russians to steal the election!

That's as insane as anything ever said about the JKF assassination.

The notion that police are hunting and murdering black men is a conspiracy theory.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a conspiracy theory.

They have real-world consequences, which why I hate them.
