| PSYCHOTIC CREEPS, SECRET DEALS, AND SEEDY CONNECTIONS |
| 2007-09-06 |
| In the comments to a post at The Belmont Club (which is a revelation in itself concerning the life and times of Norman Hsu, international man of mystery), Wretchard makes this statement: The existence of Norman Hsu naturally raises the question: how many other Norman Hsus are out there. For the Saudis, for the Mexicans, for the Israelis, maybe, for the Russian oil interests perhaps, and for God knows who else. How many? Consider this: maybe the real reason to avoid war, even in self-defense, is the same reason the Tsarist Empire had reason to avoid war back in 1914. The necessity of never having to put the corrupt parts of the system to the test. The Great War showed up all the secret deals, all the seedy connections, all the unthinkable compromises into which the Russian elite had entered. The revelations the Great War laid bare discredited an entire ruling class. Being a psychopath means never having to face responsibility for the consequences of your actions. There are a number of strategies to ensure this outcome: 1. Make people too afraid to call you to account (terrorists and thugs like this one); 2. Make it worthwhile not to stand in your way (politicians with big bucks like this one); 3. Control any and all information that might expose you for the dysfuntional sociopath you really are (a strategy beloved by all psychopaths, big and small); or, 4. When all else fails, get out of town faster than the lynch mob. I expect that if all the dirt were known, and all the seedy connections and secret deals exposed, there would be few figures standing on either side of the aisle in our own political houses. |

| #1 Hsu appears to be a point man and liason for the Asian and American Mafias, as legit and correct as they can be. |
