Note that Bandy Lee and her forbears are absolutely correct in her assessment that *Fascism is NOT an ideology but **_'mental pathology manifesting itself in the political sphere'._* That is, _fascism is specifically designed to protect the authoritarian/dictator from public accountability when destructively acting out his unresolved personal trauma in public, against the public._ See also: *Political Ponerology: The Science of Evil, Psychopathy, and the Origins of Totalitarianism* (A. M. Lobaczewski) It might help you to rapidly digest this (sometimes over-academic) information if you had to hand Robert Hare's *Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R)* which lists the 20 traits of psychopathy (which the FBI uses): 1) *Superficial charm and glibness* 2) *Grandiose sense of self-worth (narcissism)* 3) *Pathological lying (mendacity)* 4) *Conning and cunning (manipulative)* 5) *Lack of remorse or guilt* 6) *Shallow emotions (affect)* 7) *Lack of empathy (callousness)* 8) *Failure to accept responsibility for own actions* 9) *Need for stimulation (proneness to boredom)* 10) *Parasitic lifestyle* 11) *Poor behavioural controls* 12) *Early behaviour problems* 13) *Lack of realistic long-term goals (planning)* 14) *Impulsivity and risk-taking* 15) *Irresponsibility* 16) *Juvenile delinquency* 17) *Revocation of conditional release (recidivism)* 18) *Promiscuous sexual behaviour* 19) *Many short-term marital relationships* 20) *Criminal versatility* Many of these _psycho-fascistic traits_ are prevalent in Christian fundamentalism, in Islamic fundamentalism (note Eco's piece written pre-9/11), and in Bonapartism. A number of these components also appear within *state based socialism / communism.* NOTE: _It is the behaviors which are important_ (NOT the labels). Now compare these traits with the characteristics of fascism to see how closely they match in protecting the leader's behaviors rather than depicting any specific ideology (any ideology will do!): *Ur-Fascism (14 components) Umberto Eco (1995).* Eco grew up under Mussolini’s Italian Fascism archive.org/web/20170131155837/www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/ 1. *The first feature of Ur-Fascism is the cult of tradition* 2. *Traditionalism implies the rejection of modernism* 3. *Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action’s sake* 4. *No syncretistic faith can withstand analytical criticism* 5. *Besides, disagreement is a sign of diversity* 6. *Ur-Fascism derives from individual or social frustration* 7. *To people who feel deprived of a clear social identity, Ur-Fascism says that their only privilege is the most common one, to be born in the same country* 8. *The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies* 9. *For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle* 10. *Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology, insofar as it is fundamentally aristocratic, and aristocratic and militaristic elitism cruelly implies contempt for the weak* 11. *In such a perspective everybody is educated to become a hero* 12. *Since both permanent war and heroism are difficult games to play, the Ur-Fascist transfers his will to power to sexual matters* 13. *Ur-Fascism is based upon a selective populism, a qualitative populism, one might say* 14. *Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak* ”If someone were to talk today of the beauty of war as the only form of world hygiene, he would go down not in the annals of literature but in those of psychiatry." (U. Eco) *14 CHARACTERISTICS OF FASCISM* (Laurence Britt, political scientist, studied fascism) Free Inquiry magazine 1. *Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism*
2. *Disdain for the importance of human rights* 3. *Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause* 4. *The supremacy of the military/avid militarism* 5. *Rampant sexism* 6. *A controlled mass media* 7. *Obsession with national security* 8. *Religion and ruling elite tied together* 9. *Power of corporations protected* 10. *Power of labor suppressed or eliminated* 11. *Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts* [attacks on free speech, intellection, independent research and artistic creativity which do not blindly support fascist ‘Great Chain Of Being’ narratives or mythologies] 12. *Obsession with crime and punishment* (and so-called ‘free-riders’) 13. *Rampant cronyism and corruption* 14. *Fraudulent elections* Dr Lee also points out (elsewhere) that there is a step by step seeding of these ideas so that the public become used to them and the most susceptible learn to accept them and come to abet them. *Fascism’s 10 stages towards pathological government* 1) *Divisive classifications:* binary ‘excluded middle’ antonyms: us/them; good guys/bad guys 2) *Symbolic definitions of others:* illegals, aliens, boogey-man mascot e.g. MS13 3) *Discrimination:* 4) *Dehumanisation:* reducing humans to animals (e.g. pigs, worms, rats, excreta) 5) *Organisation:* government shake-ups removing critics and hiring yes-men; militias; 6) *Polarisation:* emergence, main-streaming and amplification of hate-groups; stochastic terrorism (and its enactment by so-called ‘lone wolves’) 7) *Preparation of the public:* “purifying the nation”, “they won’t assimilate” etc 8) *Persecution:* concentration camps 9) *Extermination* 10) *Denial* With Trump, we had the additional factor of trying to over-ride a nation’s Constitution on unsubstantiated, spurious, grounds. And of course, if challenged, *_distraction, deflection, emotionalisation of the issues, and sabotaging any sober public discussion or accountability_* is the all too familiar playbook trotted out. And the right-wing do it all _spectacularly well_ rushing out to be ‘first’ with their talking points as a *_perfectly synchronised, and perpetually repeating, choir_* which a number of news smash-ups have regularly illustrated over the years. How do the far right remember how to do all this? They have a very simplistic memory aid which Aristotle devised for them called *The Great Chain of Being:* *God over Man* (this gives righteous justification to men’s actions) *Man over Nature* (‘drill baby drill’; economic ‘externalisation’ of all pollution) *Men over Women* (sexism is the rule) *Adults over Children* (neglect, early punishment (and abuse) is acceptable) *Whites over Blacks* (racism is the rule; White Supremacy) *Western culture over non-Western culture* (White Cultural Supremacy) *America over all other countries* (White National Supremacy) *Citizens over Immigrants* *Christians over all non-Christians* (Christian Fundamentalism) *Straights over Gays* (Heterosexual Fundamentalism) *Rich over Poor* *Employers over Workers* *the Strong over the Weak* etc etc The Great Chain is all too easily _extended for specific socio-political purposes:_ - *Church leaders over congregation* - *Officers over grunts* - *Republicans over Democrats* - *The Elected over the electors* - *Industrial machines/robots over workers* - *Private wealth over the public good* etc etc etc In his book *Moral Politics* cognitive scientist George Lakoff showed how the *Great Chain of Being* played out in (right wing) politics. He studied the different metaphors politicians on the left and the right used to formulate their worldview of a *’Moral Order’.* His results show that the right-wing of US politics are *cognitively **_corralled_* by this highly simplistic moral code of belief and behaviour - *_which has the distinct advantage of being exceptionally easy to memorise(!)_* - and which informs ALL of their utterances, social stances _political policies_ and actions. Notice how it is unacceptable to criticise any 'authority' above you. Notice also that if you need to vent it is expected that you will 'kick down' aiming at the weakest, youngest and poorest below you. *The Great Chain therefore gives a permission structure for the **_effective tolerance of child abuse_** and **_abuses against women_** by the right.* Operating _below the level of consciousness,_ that is, having become 'second nature’, The Great Chain is an extremely simplistic, descending hierarchical structure untroubled by real world nuance, or context, and worse still, it is purely binary, that is, having an 'excluded middle' it _blocks any possibility of ‘bridge-building:’_ *The right-wing’s “Great Chain Of Being” structures its Moral Universe, its acceptability of authoritarianism and **_sanctions its use of violence and abuse as ‘solutions’ to its problems whether political, racial, or domestic (women, children)._* Once young people who are brought up on the political right remember the *Great Chain* - trained by their families, church and community groups - all they need to know is that if there is any infraction of this hierarchy then there must be 'punishment' (or, retribution) to bring the perpetrator back into line. There's no discussion about this because that would be experienced as an assault on authority. For contrast here are the *20 Traits of Genius* as collated from the activities of renowned geniuses *Buzan's Book of Genius: And How to Unleash Your Own* co-authored by Tony Buzan and chess Grand Master Raymond Keene: 1) Vision 2) Desire 3) Faith 4) Commitment / focus 5) Planning / organisation 6) Persistence / tenacity 7) Learning from mistakes 8) Subject knowledge 9) Mental literacy 10) Imagination 11) Positive attitude 12) Auto-suggestion 13) Intuition / insight 14) Mastermind group 1: living mentors 15) Mastermind group 2: internal (historical) mentors 16) Truth / honesty 17) Facing fears / courage 18) Creativity / flexibility 19) Love of the task 20) Energy (physical / sensual / sexual)

Hate and lie is trumps main problems that need medical attention

Bandy X Lee's clarification of the APA's corruption by invoking the "Goldwater Rule" to stop the media interviewing experienced mental health professionals addressing psychopathology in politics is most illuminating since they, and the media, should already know that the *Declaration Of Geneva* in the wake of the Nuremburg trials overrides their attempts at censorship. Note that Bandy Lee and her forbears are absolutely correct in her assessment that *Fascism is NOT an ideology but **_'mental pathology manifesting itself in the political sphere'._* That is, _fascism is specifically designed to protect the authoritarian/dictator from public accountability when destructively acting out his unresolved personal trauma in public, against the public._ It might help you to rapidly digest this (sometimes over-academic) information if you had to hand Robert Hare's *Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R)* which lists the 20 traits of psychopathy (which the FBI uses): 1) *Superficial charm and glibness* 2) *Grandiose sense of self-worth (narcissism)* 3) *Pathological lying (mendacity)* 4) *Conning and cunning (manipulative)* 5) *Lack of remorse or guilt* 6) *Shallow emotions (affect)* 7) *Lack of empathy (callousness)* 8) *Failure to accept responsibility for own actions* 9) *Need for stimulation (proneness to boredom)* 10) *Parasitic lifestyle* 11) *Poor behavioural controls* 12) *Early behaviour problems* 13) *Lack of realistic long-term goals (planning)* 14) *Impulsivity and risk-taking* 15) *Irresponsibility* 16) *Juvenile delinquency* 17) *Revocation of conditional release (recidivism)* 18) *Promiscuous sexual behaviour* 19) *Many short-term marital relationships* 20) *Criminal versatility* It is notable that many of these _psycho-fascistic traits_ seem prevalent in Christian fundamentalism, in Islamic fundamentalism (note Eco's piece written pre-9/11), and in Bonapartism.

Media. - WAKE THE HELL UP, and start broadcasting the lies and criminal behavior and PSYCHOLOGICALLY DANGEROUS ACTIONS of Trump. Main Stream Media. - You should have listened to the warnings by Dr Bandy Lee when she FIRST voiced them 8 years ago.

Damn the New York Times and Dr. Lieberman (head of the APA at the time Dr Bandy Lee 1st warned us about the psychological dangerous impact of Trump's behavior). Damn them to hell. Now look what fascist violent mess we're in!

Thank you Dr. Bandy Lee for all you are doing to help address the serious mental health deficits that exist in our country. As a registered nurse of 50 years, I'm beyond angry at the profound unethical actions taken against you when you first warned government officials about the extreme danger posed by Donald Trump's psychiatrically dangerous behavior. Now we are paying in terms of millions of deaths (by Trump's mismanagement of the pandemic) , and gun violence, world wide political instability while doing nothing about crises due to global warming. VOTE BLUE people 💙 VOTE BLUE because all of our lives depend on it.

Trump he's not mentally stable to be president because he's quoting Hitler anyone knows about Hitler knows he was a narcissist and he was sick and Trump show his true colors especially January 6th he needs to be in the unit

When the heart are full unrighteous ambitions, selfishness, hatred, jealousy, envy .. them it makes the mind always think about evil,unethical, wicked, inhuman quackeries . It’t always like thieves lurking , its mouth and tongue are full of malice, deceit, cunning, fabrication, slander … and of course its face and actions become increasingly disgusting and terrifying . No one can prevent it . There is only God does it.

So many lives lost cause of him💔🥺😢 and those that enabled him should be held accountable! How can they sleep at night knowing innocent defenseless human beings lost their lives cause of them. RIP 🙌

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Dr. Brandi X. Lee articulates in language that both the academic and non degreed students of life, can all comprehend and accept. It is currently directed at a professional strata, in terms both current with medical and legal present day context, towards those who bear responsibility, and those who are willing to usher in change to contemporary concepts of leadership and power, in a new, more nuanced global climate, where personal responsibility arises in more and more cases, as existential pressures mount (climate change, mass migration, environmental degradation, other pressures…) In short a voice for our time. Let us support this disclosure effort.

People who believe this metaphorical psychiatric nonsense are peole who can't think for themselves. It's like people who follow astrology, or still need parents for security. After all psychiatry is really a religion without a God, and the DSM is It's bible. Psychiatrist Thomas Szasz has drawn a parallel between Religion and psychiatry. That is how the state once used religion to control people by calling them a heretic, or a blasphemer. Now it's psychosis, Schizophrenia or whatever. You can bring it up on utube. Psychiatrist Thomas Szasz said psychiatry is not a branch of medicine, but is a branch of the law.

Everything ,except the assignment Dr. Wich they'll say is an Chinese plant. Say that donald trump is a phycopath ?

This is so frightening. I feel most of us realize there is something seriously wrong With Trump! He’s followers are completely brainwashed!

Voted blue 💙💙💙💙💙 Patriot's!!!!!

A very good reminder. Too many in the MAGA Cult & the Corporate Media are suffering from Collective Amnesia about Trump’s Presidency.

Yez

Remember that famous quote from the movie The Sixth Sense, 'I see dead people'? The way Trump keeps talking about people who have passed on, like John McCain and others, as if they’re still part of his narrative, reminds me of that. He’s brought up dead figures at his rallies-sometimes praising, sometimes attacking-when they can no longer respond. This should’ve been the biggest clue of all. There’s even a book written about Trump’s mental capacity and how he poses a threat. This is my response to those still supporting him: Pay attention to the signs, just like in the movie. Sometimes the truth is right in front of us.

Thank you for your courage in bringing us the facts, Dr. Lee. I understand the makings of a cult, but still don't know how some of my friends have fallen into this. I thought they were intelligent, well-adjusted people. I guess the thing that bothers me the most is to realize they're racists.

Donald Trump is unfit to be the president he's mentally ill... Is a racist devices evil person.. you cannot enter the White House again.... Get out there and vote blue 💙 to keep that scumbag that white nationalist racist out..thank you..

Thank you for this video Bandy I've been looking for this since Thursday session and I apologize ahead of time I don't punctuate because it's too much work I try to write so that it reads without punctuation it's been a complete silence nobody is covered anything that went on there I don't know if that's because you folks did that on purpose however I have the feeling that that was not what happened the fact that the information about your session about mental professionals getting together to discuss a very dangerous situation being completely silenced entirely missing off the public grid is really really disturbing I just want to make sure I tell you how thankful I am for you doing as much as you are and trying as hard as you are even though you look like and may feel like a little mouse in a huge public Arena of men who are cruel demented and pathologically Ill have been for a very long time and now all that illness is coming to the Forefront and none of those who are ill or not are representing it's completely silent and this really really is disturbing and frightening it's very true when I tell you that nothing frightens me being a little girl by myself in a man's Rich American World all my life I have learned not to be frightened but rather to stand up and be stronger than what attacks me however there is one thing that frightens me and has always frightened me and still frightens me and that's what's going on now The Madness of the human when the human goes mad this really frightens me and I think it's very clear that those of us who recall living more than one lifetime have feared that when Hitler returned because we knew he would that nobody would recognize him and it is happening the fact that nobody recognizes the behavior of Hitler being recounted being represented again and not recognized is something for all of us to be scared s*** less about thank you so much for trying as hard as you are and please keep doing anything you can❤GEM ❤

Please continue with this critical work on behalf of the whole world and preventing a disastrous dystopia future. I will try to post these lectures on Threads, the only social media platform I use-- mostly a like- minded community in fear of losing democracy here and abroad. You might reach a large receptive audience if you posted directly to Threads. I am heartbroken that I don't see anything about Duty to Warn even on liberal media like MSNBC.

Now diagnose Bibi Yahoo next. Or his weapon suppliers.

That you Dr. Lee for sharing, it’s greatly appreciated.

Hi Jamie! I miss your Ringo headband. So glad you’re better!

This is an absolute nightmare DonOld is an existential threat to the whole planet.

The current televised World Mental Health Coalition conference airing on C-Span appears to be from 2019. Where is the video of the 2024 conference? According to the website it took place on 9/27. Has it been delayed?

There is no place to easily donate and support

HELL YES Insane in the Membrane🙄

This ridiculously funny

I was looking forward to seeing Dr. Bandy X Lee together with Mary Trump in conversations about her uncle for a long time! We need more conversations so we can educate the public about the threat Donald J Trumps contagion is !

Ronnie “Pillman” Johnson is going to wind up in jail. He was almost arrested when he interfered with the rescue of a young girl.

Reactionary religious folks believe in an all powerful “god”. They are perfect dupes for an “all powerful” false idol.

So true Dr Brandy about trump enjoys your work keep up 👆

Dr Brany

Republicans have no empathy for others, not just DJT

The problem is everyone is this country gets their information from a wide variety of sources. We have no shared reality. People just don’t believe trump is that bad or they think he will only be bad to immigrants and poor people.

Dude it's Carlos Maza I've missed him

My replies will not take. After I enter it says "An error had occurred "

Dr Bandy Lee , " I GUARANTEE YOU THAT THE DAY IS GOING TO COME THAT AMERICA 🇺🇸 SO-CALLED LAWMAKERS GOING TO WISH THEY HAD LISTEN TO YOU!!!! ESPECIALLY AG Merrick Garland DOJ, FBI director Christopher Wary and the America 74 million MAGA crazies !!! The America people love to brag about , that they are " GOOD CHRISTIAN " but they will burn down a Christian Church, to put a 34 times convicted felony, a convicted , sex predator, rapist , a man who brags about feeling on women's private parts, a man who is responsible for the death ☠️ of over a million American citizens lives (COVID-19) , a who speaks about executing , shoplifters, drug dealers A say he is " PRO-LIFE " madness!!! 🕊️✌🏿👍🏿✊🏿❤️🖤💚

I could listen to Dr. Lee all day.

Thank you for stating the treasonist nature of all those people who are protecting Trump. You’re fantastic and admirable Dr. Lee. Endless gratitude to you. 🙏

So much respect Dr Lee ✊️✊️✊️✊️✊️
