"That's crazy! Our leaders must be insane!"

That's basically how most Americans react to much of what they see going on around them every single day.

From the Biden administration's enthusiastic support for amputating body parts of troubled children, to its obsession with bringing as many millions of illegal aliens as possible into America, to its recent demand that U.S. airlines employ more people, including pilots, with "severe intellectual" and "psychiatric" problems, it's increasingly clear that many of America's current leaders are, to put it plainly, stark raving mad.

But making this statement is not an exercise in calling one's political opponents nasty names, as happens so often today.

Rather, it's about taking a serious look at the reality that America's current leaders are indeed genuinely insane – in a clinically diagnosable way. We're talking about rampant sociopathy, psychopathy, Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder and other scary-sounding conditions whose clinical symptom-pictures perfectly match many of today's leaders.

Of course, many cases of what the secular psychiatric world labels serious "mental illness" ultimately boil down to individuals who, one way or another, willingly or unwillingly, have fallen into the grip of dark spiritual forces.

Yet it's illuminating to briefly explore how current research in psychiatry – a field ironically dominated largely by the left – nevertheless has concluded that leftist radicals and leaders are, more often than not, "way out there" on the spectrum of serious mental illness.

For example, in a groundbreaking peer-reviewed study published in March 2023, titled "Understanding left-wing authoritarianism: Relations to the dark personality traits, altruism, and social justice commitment," authors Dr. Ann Krispenz and Dr. Alexander Bertrams found that left-wing extremism is closely associated with "psychopathic tendencies."
