Psychopaths in Suits: Why Bringing a Knife to a Gunfight is a Bad Idea.

Back in the 1980s, while slogging through an MBA program, I could see the rot bubbling under the surface. Business schools were churning out bright-eyed future executives who had all the warmth of a lizard in a snowstorm. The smirks when rules were bent. The quiet glee at the thought of crushing a competitor. You could see it in the eyes: ruthlessness, a lack of morality, a willingness to do whatever it took to “win.”

Business schools, to their credit, noticed the same thing. Their solution? Add courses in ethics. Make them compulsory and with it, additional tuition fees. One does not have to guess at the lesson this taught.

To me, that was the canary in the coal mine. "If we have to have classes in ethics, then we’ve already lost the battle for morality.”

Today, the wreckage is all around us, and it has become so common place that at times we hardly notice.

We live in a world where psychopaths run the table. They don’t play by the same rules as the rest of us.

History shows the pattern. War, carnage, and control are never accidents. They are business models. And one thing that busineses know how to do is to “monetize”, well …virtually anything, because as Mike Douglas said in Wall Street, "Greed is Good". So it should come as no suprise that when a psychopath sees millions of lives in the balance, he doesn’t see tragedy—he sees opportunity.

9/11? The media had the story preloaded before the dust settled. Seven wars in five years, mapped out by Pentagon brass, rolled off the conveyor belt like cars at an assembly line. Weapons of mass destruction? A sales pitch...millions dead, billions made.

Media silence? Also a weapon. When a Ukrainian woman is butchered on a train and the newsrooms shrug, the message isn’t absence—it’s selective outrage. It tells the public what matters and what doesn’t. It fuels division. One law for them, another for us.

And the rest of us? We still shake our heads and mutter, “They wouldn’t do that.”

But they would. They already have.

Neil Oliver nailed it in his recent monologue. Psychopaths have a “twin tower” advantage over decent people:

One, they don’t care if you live or die.

Two, we can’t imagine anyone being that evil.

That’s it. And that’s enough.

They ferment wars, cash in on bloodshed, and laugh while the media plays both sides of the field. Sometimes the media screams endlessly, sometimes it stays silent — but silence itself sends a message. The goal is always division, outrage, and control.

The majority of people cling to the belief in human decency. It’s comforting. It’s also dangerous. It blinds us to the predators circling above. I’ve said it before: the population is bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Psychopaths don’t impose limits on themselves. They don’t stop at genocide, corruption, financial fraud, or pedophilia. Those are just moves on the board. What terrifies them most now is not exposure—they’ve always been brazen—but that more and more people see through the illusion.

Millions. Tens of millions. Hundreds of millions.

What we are witnessing is the desperate thrash of a cornered animal. The globalist mob is stoking the tinder: race wars, religious wars, fear campaigns, surveillance grids. All designed to divide us, because they can’t fight us head-on. There aren’t enough of them.

They can only win if we fight each other.

The lesson, then, is not despair. It’s clarity. Once you recognize that the people pulling the strings have no limits, you stop being shocked by their depravity. You stop saying “they wouldn’t do that.” You start preparing for the reality that they will.

And knowing that, you aim your anger where it belongs—not at your neighbor, but at the psychopaths in suits and uniforms who are trying to light the match that burns it all down.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination is more than another headline in a brutal world — it’s a flashing red siren about the stakes of our time. Kirk was an advocate of and for free speech. He had a 10 million plus following on social media. He was an influencer. He challenged the narrative surrounding many current contentious issues. Key to that challenge is free speech. Many "of the powers that not ought to be" were not happy about him shining the light on truths, that they would rather have remain in the dark.

Here was a man whose message, whether you agreed with every word or not, was anchored in moral clarity: faith, family, community, freedom. The essentials of any healthy society. For that, he was silenced.

Contrast that with what psychopaths do allow without hesitation: genocidal wars, financial fraud, child exploitation, corruption that rots entire nations from the inside out. All perfectly fine. But dare to speak openly about responsibility, decency, or the right of citizens to live free ...and suddenly that’s intolerable?

George Carlin said it best: “They don’t give a fuck about you.” And if you needed proof, here it is.

But let’s not lose sight of the core: the right to free speech is not some optional add-on. It is the cornerstone of a free and democratic society. And without a free and democratic society, there is no progress, no civilization, no hope of building something better for our children.

Silence free speech, and you don’t just kill the message...you kill the future.

The tragedy of our time isn’t just that psychopaths hold power. It’s that the decent majority still refuses to believe it’s possible.

Charlie Kirk’s death should end that illusion once and for all. This is not politics as usual. This is not business as usual. This is a war of morality versus nihilism, decency versus psychopathy.

And the battlefield is speech itself. If the right to speak freely dies, then Western civilization dies with it.

Free speech is the line. Cross it, and all that remains is silence, servitude, and decay. Protect it, and you keep alive the only hope humanity has ever had to move forward.

Salman Rushdie said it best,

"Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself."
