LOOK OVER THERE! OOP - GOTCHA...
Every time I see Ahmadinejad's name lately, I start to laugh even before I read what the article is about.
One, because the man's a kook and two, because I am nervous about a kook with a bomb.
This guy, again, reminds me of a mental illness called Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Oh, some narcissism is healthy in everyone but these people believe their own b.s., they lie, they twist reality, they exploit others - particularly the vulnerable, they are covertly & inherently abusive and this one's running a whole country.
Ahmadinejad: Israel Is Bearer of Satan
Hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that Israel was the standard bearer of Satan and the Jewish state would soon fall apart, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
The agency quoted Ahmadinejad as he spoke at a religious conference and did not elaborate on what he meant by Satan. Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, however, Iran has regularly referred to the United States as "the Great Satan."
"The Zionist regime is the standard bearer of invasion, occupation and Satan," he said, predicting Israel's eventual demise. "When the philosophy behind the establishment of a regime is in question, it is not unlikely that it will find itself on a course of decline and dissolution."
Israel condemned Ahmadinejad's statements as harmful to international peace and stability.
"The Iranian president's comments are typical of his vociferous animosity towards Israel," said David Baker, an Israeli government spokesman. "He threatens not only Israel but poses a clear and present danger to the international community as well."Ahmadinejad has made anti-Israel comments in the past. In October he caused outrage in the West when he said in a speech that Israel's "Zionist regime should be wiped off the map."
His supporters have argued that Ahmadinejad's words were mistranslated and should have been better translated as "vanish from the pages of time"—implying Israel would vanish on its own rather be destroyed.

The Great Satan? Well, I believe evil exists but I don't believe in Satan. I do believe that Ahmadinejad is engaging in something narcissists do constantly called PROJECTION. They blame you or call you everything they, themselves are doing or being. And they are very slick about it. Ahmadinejad can't make up his mind if it's the U.S. or Israel that's Satan. If some hapless waiter messes up his dinner order, that guy will be Satan too, I guess.
Example: you realize a guy you know is hitting on women with low-self esteem because it's easier to get them to have sex with him. You call him a predator. That's what he is - a PREDATOR. Predators hunt the wounded. But for the next couple months, that guy tells everyone he knows or who know you that YOU are a predator. He even twists and remodels actual events - either omitting or adding little tidbits - to make it look like you are.
The result? You spend so much time defending yourself or correcting the b.s. he's left around - you have no time to hold him accountable and he gets a pass to do it again & again.
And that's exactly what Ahmadinejad is doing. Making Israel and those who care about her defend her so much that they aren't examining what he & his minyans are doing. REALLY doing.
Narcissists need a whipping boy
by Kathy Krajco
Here's an example that shows narcissists know and understand what they're doing.
First a bit of background, so you know what's going on.
A fifty-year-old narcissist had abused her sister for almost as long as either could remember. Often the abuse was violently physical, with the narcissist raining a hail blows on her sister. Like all narcissists, this one makes herself feel better about herself by vaunting herself on others. So, she often gets mad and abuses her sister out of the blue.
I guess it usually goes something like this: first she acts bored and rudely says she doesn't want to talk about this or that. Whatever her sister replies is -- boom -- some sort of offense. She says mean things that she knows will hurt her sister deeply and refuses to let her sister get in a word edgewise.
To block communication and have her unanswered say, she yells her sister down and then hautily cuts off the conversation so that her sister cannot reply. Yes, a fifty-year-old narcissist is still that childish. (so are some pundits & politicians!)
Why? Presumably that reply would be contrary to her delusion and therefore not in her script, so she won't allow it to be said. She shuts up her sister by making a dramatic exit, throwing her sister out, or hanging up the phone. Nothing she doesn't script can be said in her little stageplay.
Note: She has the mentality of a child with an imaginary friend -- you know, a fantasy that has intruded on reality and blurs it, a fantasy that she prefers to reality. Little children sometimes pass through a phase like this where their magical thinking manifests itself this way, but narcissists remain in a similar state all their lives.
Recently her sister has stopped putting up with this. She is determined to no longer serve as a punching bag for the narcisist to beat up on whenever she's feeling low. So, when the narcissist starts treating her like dirt, she says something like, "Quit treating me like dirt" or "Quit bullying" or "God! you're rude" and "What are you having a fit about this time?"
Needless to say, the sister no longer makes a good victim, a good source of Narcissistic Supply for the narcissist's ego to feed on. In other words, she will no longer be the nacissist's "whipping boy." Why did I put it in those words?
Because of the punchline: Guess what "reason" the narcissist gives for wanting nothing more to do with her sister? Of all things, she says it's because "she is tired of being her sister's whipping boy."
That's projection, of course, which is a knee-jerk reaction in narcissists. Anyone can see that the narcissist was the one abusing a whipping boy and that nothing her sister did could possibly have been construed as doing that.
The important thing to note is that this projection is in the narcissist's own words. The sister never used the "whipping boy" figure of speech or even said anything like that. But the "whipping boy" expression does perfectly describe how the narcissist was using her sister. This shows that deep down the narcissist knows exactly what she's doing -- that she uses her sister as a whipping boy.
As I've said often before: there's nothing narcissists don't pervert a full 180 degrees. They accuse you of doing to them what they are in the very act of doing to you. And their middle name is Projection.
