At the risk of getting a spray, Mark you courageously showed

the loose-arsed winged graffiti monkeys that we define

ourselves (not others) by what we write.

You invited them to recognize that all their negativistic,

uncivilized, criminal lying, falsifying and abusive insulting
comments aimed at silencing the genuine friends of Table
Talk was too futile for words and perhaps it is self-
incriminating.

You gave them the benefit of the doubt that all the overhead
guano was released from their nervous quivering cloacas
traumatized by grief due to our collective loss.

But they showed contempt for your "grief" explanation of their

anti-social behaviour.

Rather than having a go at responding to the last words of

our comrade, the literary treasure from Murwillumbah, they
continue the guano bombing raid.

Murwillumbah, NSW is only about a half-hour away from

Lismore via the Nimbin Rd/Kyogle Rd is about a hour and

Who’ll put this embarassing contradiction in writing to Alina

Disgraced hoppers without pouches to preach from and only
betrayals behind and in front are a sad sight.

What does it mean – this pointless religion of guano bombers

What does it mean

Answer that?
What about a real name?

Why this fear of giving us a whole honest real name?

Come clean. Be honest about who you are.

Please show some respect for the final words of the golden

you are taking yet again.

What does it mean - this pointless religion?

Come on, stop lying now please - honour the last words of the

<blockquote>How to spot the psychopath in your workplace
Psychopaths rule our world
Get back in the Box: Nurse Ratched is Alive and Well
Stewart Hase 2011

In the famous book and movie, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s
Nest, Nurse Ratched thoroughly runs the roost. From a
Jungian archetype perspective Nurse Ratched represents the
dominating and emasculating mother. Her main modus
operandi is to manipulate the male patients into believing that
their welfare is her primary concern and that everything she
does is for their benefit. With this backdrop of apparently
caring intention, she holds tightly onto control in the guise of
benefactor and protector from the evils of the world. The
most mischievous component of her behaviour, however, is to
build up expectations for rewards in the form of activities,
treats or even positive attention from her as a projection of
their mother, and then shatter them at the last moment. It is
consummate controlling and deeply obsessive behaviour.
When McMurphy (Jack Nicholson in the movie) challenges
Nurse Ratched by emancipating the patients and shows signs
of winning the battle for control, he is lobotomised.

Ken Kesey’s Nurse Ratched character is based in reality. I

actually saw this archetype in the real world when working in
a psychiatric hospital in Western Australia in the early 1970s.
In my case Nurse Ratched was a male. So, what follows is
equally applicable to both sexes but I refer to Nurse Ratched
as female throughout to be consistent with the fictional
character and, hopefully, not for any other unconscious
desire.

Some recent research I have conducted with colleagues

suggests that the Nurse Ratched archetype is alive and well in
organisations other than psychiatric institutions. It appears in
various configurations and degrees but has the same end
game, which is to control the inmates: to keep them in their
box. This reinforces Nurse Ratched’s sense of power,
strengthens the mask that hides a deep-seated insecurity, a
poorly developed sense of self and a sense that all is not well
with herself, and, hence by projection, the world. Nurse
Ratched has developed a set of behaviours that serve to
protect her from seeing her true self and the maintain the
illusion that others can’t see it either.

Nurse Ratched is a micromanager. Nothing is left to the

deliberations of others. Of course there are committees,
although one might find precious few of them and they are
functionally impotent. This impotence is openly reinforced by
Nurse Ratched who frequently overwrites their decisions using
an unwritten but thoroughly understood power of veto. All
decisions no matter how minute and trivial such as office
allocation and travel claims are made by this manager:
nothing is left to chance.
The archetype is surrounded by supplicants who have been
handpicked to ensure that they do not challenge in any real
way. Most importantly they all toe the party line. Dissidents
are seen as not being loyal and either micromanaged or
managed out. Members of the management group are found
on most committees in the organisation. Committee
membership has less to do with expertise and more to do with
ensuring control. Loyalty is much more important then ability
to be appointed as an acolyte. Even the most appalling
manager and bully will be supported as long as they are loyal,
get the job done and make Nurse Ratched look good.

Nurse Ratched makes sure that appointments are carefully

managed. Selection panels are small and consist of herself, a
couple of acolytes and a rep from HR. It is important not to
have someone on the committee with expertise in the area of
the appointment. Lower levels of staff are never involved in
the selection process. It is not unusual for Nurse Ratched to
veto an appointment and tap someone on the shoulder either
within or from outside the organisation. Nepotism is so
commonplace that it is taken to be normal. It is one of the
rare instances where the manager does not employ a clone of
self. There is room for only one Nurse Ratched in an
organisation.

Information flow is carefully managed by our archetype. Most

critical information is held by the management group and
does not filter down: there is a hard communication barrier
between senior management and the inmates. The acolytes
realise that their survival depends on making sure that only
selected information is sent upwards. Meanwhile Nurse
Ratched is fed a diet of misinformation from employees dotted
around the organisation that are the result of the nepotistic
and political appointment processes. There is nothing like
pillow talk to sink an upstart’s reputation.
Nurse Ratched likes to make sure the inmates are busy:
extremely busy. Staff levels are kept to a minimum,
performance expectations are high and there is little room for
diversion from the key tasks of the business. This archetype
depends on looking good in front of the board or shareholders
and this is achieved by ensuring positive business outcomes
no matter what the cost to people or organisational climate.
There is a Calvinesque austerity and lack of celebrations of
success are rare and token. Nurse Ratched depends on an
efficient and well-run ward. In the movie McMurphy’s joie de
vive is a major irritant and is finally silenced by reducing him
to a vegetable. With such a threat people become malleable.

The result of this archetype’s behaviour is an adversarial, ‘us

and them’ culture. The ‘management team’ interpret any
discontent as being due to the implicit failing of the inmates
and not the result of dysfunctional leadership and a toxic
culture. The inmates should be grateful: let them eat cake.

Widespread cynicism pervades the organisation underpinned

by powerlessness. Some inmates, like the Chief in One Flew
Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, find a way to escape-he throws a
water cooler through the window and runs away. In less
potent expressions of their disappointment, the more
imaginative and stronger personalities soon see the
organisation for what it is and fly the coop. There are others
who don’t quite understand the culture and innocently push
back. But they are soon put in their box one way or another
by being micromanaged to death, assigned meaningless tasks,
and/or subtly bullied. Many are trapped due to circumstances
and suffer the same pathology as Seligman’s dogs, learned
helplessness that manifests itself as depressive behaviour.
Denial and rationalisation of their situation help maintain a
tolerable level of mental health in many.
People being people, they will in even the most adversarial
environment find a way to let their creative juices flow and
mostly find satisfaction in doing well what they often love
doing. This is tolerated as long as the widgets continue to be
churned out and there is not too much dysfunction. In fact
Nurse Ratched rewards this behaviour with acknowledgement,
which is gratefully received from inmates starved of
recognition and positive reinforcement. But beware if the light
shines too bright or the irrelevance of the activity to Nurse
Ratched’s agenda is brought to her attention, the tit-bits are
quickly withdrawn. After all, it is for the inmates’ own good.

This is the most toxic aspect of the culture that Nurse Ratched
presides over and is the hallmark of the ultimate bully: the
manipulation of the human need for recognition. The bully
keeps the other in a state of constant desire for
acknowledgement by maintaining a high level of
disappointment, an air of disapproval. The victim’s diminishing
self-esteem cries out for recognition and is occasionally,
momentarily rewarded. The rush of pleasure increases desire
for more and the person works even harder even as the
tsunami of disappointment washes them away yet again.

Such is the dark side of organisations.

When enough is not enough there's always plenty of freedom
from those who try to impose on others their own idea of
what's enough.

<blockquote>The Nature Of Freedom

Bob Ellis
December, 2003

Is there free speech in Fox News? Is there due process in

Guantanamo Bay? For what crimes, precisely, were Qusay and
Uday, and the little boy Mustafa, violently killed? When will
families shot dead at checkpoints be compensated? How will
this occur? If Iraqi elections are held, can Tariq Aziz stand for
office? On what grounds can he, a courtly Christian Anglophile
admired by the Pope, be excluded from his country's
democracy? What crime, precisely, is he guilty of? At what
trial, and by what jury, was he found to be so? What crimes
are al-Duri's wife and little daughter being held for? Have they
been threatened, or tortured? Have they been offered ten
million dollars to betray their breadwinner? When will they be
tried, and on what charge?

... we've had a lousy stinking, bitterly testing annus horribilis

and we won't get over it for quite a while. So much that was
fought for over centuries -- habeas corpus, the right to stay
silent and ring a lawyer, the right to photograph a coffin
coming home, to broadcast a funeral, to broadcast, if they're
of interest, some gruff defiant words from Saddam or Osama,
the right to take sides in a foreign conflict without the threat
of arrest, the right to speak up against a stupid leader, the
right to flee the Taliban and not be punished for it, the right
to spend your childhood unimprisoned, the right to be rescued
from shipwreck at sea -- have been softly, shruggingly,
swiftly, glibly surrendered. And we won't get over it for quite
a while. And it's a pity.</blockquote>

Oh Lord why hast thou forsaken me so that thou hast

subjected me to the horrible task of reflecting like a mirror the

On the road to Ixtlan all there is to find are shadows.
