Ruthless People
We're back - with a new mission, more information, and renewed enthusiasm for the job to be done.
"In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
George Orwell
When ugly behavior is exposed to the light it tends to dry up, like a vampire caught out at the break of day. Much of the Ugly Behavior exhibited today by Ruthless People actually points to a possible condition of psychopathy.
The Ruthless People Project focuses on the behavior of individual psychopaths, allowing you to see the behavior and the strategies, so immunizing yourself and those you love. You may have a relative, a daughter, mother, son, father, sister, brother, who is a psychopath. Nothing is more damaging or more heart-rending to those of us who are normal.
This site uses the experiences of journalists, professionals, and activists who survived. Melinda Pillsbury-Foster, the originator of Ruthless People, is one of these. If you are interested in helping out with the Project, please get in touch.
For many, the pain, and danger, never ends. Those without conscience continue to manipulate until their victims understand and cut them off. However, the predatory always move on and find more victims. They also return to their past victims to take another bite out of their lives. Reducing the damage done by those without conscience is one of the goals of the Project.
In this pursuit we are using tools, tried and true, which go to the core of their strategies. You need the facts. You need to understand the characteristics of psychopathy. Then, you can take corrective course. This does not reduce the anguish, but it limits the costs to those who are normal.
Ironically, this is why journalism also matters. The tenets of journalism, if followed, perfectly provide for gathering the facts, ensuring you hear from all parties, and discerning from the chaos what has really happened.
With psychopaths were is always chaos. Therefore, we are using those tenets in a new way, allowing us to identify the psychopathic among us and so provide the reality which is the exit from chaos.
No one can make informed decisions without the facts.
This exercise may well be useful to journalism as well, reminding us why the values inherent in its tenets matter. Zenger, and his example, should always remain in the forefront of our minds. In 1735 the people of New York understood the need for the truth.
Journalism, as happens with all practices, has been open to the impact of the culture in which it is practiced. A conversion from local ownership to megacorporate, which we call, "Greedville," has caused a centralization of media within these corporations, which then view media as part of their corporate structure.
However, the changes in technology, the Internet, digital film, phone cameras, and other means allowing people to recapture their power are growing. The Alternative Media, not owned by Greedville, is growing. Answering the demand for accurate information, it provides facts. This has altered the dynamics of the shift toward increasing corporate fascism.
Ruthless People is a tool for coping with the psychopathic personally as well as an extension of people-based media, as a grass-roots campaign to take it back.

In addition to providing well documented stories, based in fact, we provide links to articles, commentary on individuals whose behavior appears to be psychopathic. You can republished, with link and attribution.
For more general information you can visit Life Stealers, with whom data is shared. Life Stealers focuses on helping us heal from the trauma which accompanies contact with those without conscience.
Using this site you can both learn more about the condition, following stories which reveal the ugliness of those without conscience, and find ways out of the jungle of ugly behavior which has enveloped humanity at every level. Ruthless People, and links to specific cases, also serve as an archive for materials otherwise difficult to access.
