The tentacles of the enemy reach into all of our lives via our local resident psychopaths. When we recognise them, and shun them, and refuse to do business with them, no matter the seeming cost, that's taking one person's life force out of the vampires supply.

If enough people can be taught how to recognise psychopathy and ostracise these people, even if that means migrating, they have less power as obeisance to the petty psycho feeds the power of the more powerful, since if you fall for a small trick, you are ripe for big ones.

I don't consider either the exploiters or their complacent food sources to be human. But every chance there is to open a crack of daylight into their world, do it. Just don't be foolish to think that you can save them.

That's their job.

Take care of yourself and your family, and even them, if they are hypnotised and see your attempts to open the window to the bigger picture as an attack on them, shun them too.

There is no value in comforting the vampires or their ghouls. It is a waste of your time.

Only refusing to deal with them and taking every cost you think you will have to pay to have them out of your life will make anything better. And trust me, when you haven't got leeches attached to you, your life gets better so fast, it will make you dizzy.
