The Psychological Crises of Crusades.
By bburrell on 10/6/2007 11:36 PM
I have repeatedly cited the abhorrent nature of the crises faced daily by those have crusaded for 7 or more years against the collective sociopathy of the manipulators here. Psychological studies of those who wage war on its front lines have pointed out that absent some recurring positive reinforcement, the front line warriors will burn out, almost without exception, after some specific period of time. I am there now, and I need a break before I break something else.

The best psychological profile I have seen of the typical serial financial criminals paints them as "borderline" sociopaths, so broken so as to be unfixable. They are neither moral nor immoral. Rather, they are AMORAL, meaning without any moral compass. They share this trait with serial killers, such as Chikilich, Gacy, Dauhmer, et al.
Even the FBI has cited the enormous emotional toll exacted on their agents who pursue these types of animals, and it is no different here. The only difference here is that the financial analogs are in many cases better treated than the victims of their crimes, and are typically more valued for what they can give up to authorities than what any victim can contribute to such efforts.
It was well documented that soldiers could face combat for a maximum total of 240 days in increments of no more than 40 consecutive days at a time, in WWII, before they were so psychologically damaged as to be beyond complete repair. The unit focused on serial killers in DOJ has shown that their investigators can typically not do this kind of work for more than 4 years without personal damage. Where is this analysis of victims of financial crimes? It has very conveniently been ignored. I am 7 years in, and bluntly, I am well past hoping to completely repair myself psychologically. I will never trust this Country's political or legal system again. God help the next lawyer who lies to me.
How have investigative agencies handled the rotation of their best investigators to help them avoid burn-out? They limit the time they can spend in such assignments as the FBI's BAU profilers made famous by the TV Series "Criminal Minds". It seems that even they acknowledge there is only so much they can see and take before they simply are overwhelmed by the sheer evil they see.
Unfortunately, there is no one to provide such relief for those civilian victims who fight against interminable processes designed to shelter scum, facing at every turn disdain, disrespect, insults and worse from the very parties they need help from to get that most rare of all outcomes, true restitution, and disgorgement by the criminals while they serve real hard prison time. Even more offensive is the fact that these insults come for the most part from people who have never had a real job, never sold or built anything, never made a payroll, or for that matter, ever served their country at personal physical risk.
I have been involved in this space with a crusader's heart for 7 years, and bluntly, I need to back off, and cool down. I have to become the cynical and distant person who I have repeatedly encountered in regulatory bureaucracies, with the most egregious being the lawyers who front for these tragic farces. These lawyers have given me a whole new understanding of the old law school adage that lawyers must learn to be able to put themselves in a "Moral Vacuum" in order to represent certain clients. They are generally very well paid for this painful (?) action, many times with the same funds stolen from victims.
Our legal system has detached itself from any concept of delivering timely justice, out of concern with managing their workloads to their optimum interests. It is unfortunate that their concerns at this level conveniently provide for use of statutes of limitations that regularly insure that victims’ interests can never be addressed by seeing the criminals actually go to Jail for their misconduct. The insane enormity of Federal and State civil court backlogs only goes to insure regular failure of the legal system.
It is time for me to focus on the positive things I can do, including some in this space, and to stay away from the worst of this. I warn everyone here and now that if one or more of you wants to try and drag me back into this morass, don't expect to survive in whole form. I have had enough of this corrupt insanity. If I am threatened again by anyone for any reason, I will retaliate on the spot without limits. I won't wait to find out if you really meant it, or for you to try and choke out an apology.
You can hope that I can call the FBI first, but that will depend entirely on how serious I think you are. You should not interpret this as a warning, but much more as a promise from someone who keeps his as a part of his personal identity.
My best wishes to those of you with good hearts and clear consciences.
May the rest of you find salvation, or if not, appropriately, may you burn in Hell.
