BLOWING THE WHISTLE ON THE DANGEROUS CULT OF HYPERIANISM
• FROM THE CITIZEN JOURNALISTS OF THE AC •
11/27/2022
Professor Sam Vaknin is a fascinating character. He is a pathological narcissist with, so he claims, an IQ of 190. He does seem very intelligent. He also sometimes seems very narcissistic, as you would expect (!). But most of the time he comes across as just a “nice guy”, and a fairly typical lecturer. You would not in any way immediately conclude that this is one of the weirdest men in the world, someone so strange that he doesn’t consider himself and his kind even human. He presents himself as someone simulating the human condition, but not really being connected to it at all. It’s extraordinary how “normal” Vaknin seems in his video presentations, but how abnormal he says he is on the inside.
Corey Rebhahn, another pathological narcissist, but with a much lower IQ, seems relatively “normal” in his video presentations, but we know for a fact that he is an extraordinarily bizarre person with the most bizarre behavior, but that mostly happens off-screen, and especially when he is reacting to any kind of threat.
Rebhahn, unlike Vaknin, is utterly lacking in self-awareness and cannot, and does not want to, reveal – from the inside – the exceptionally weird and freaky things going on in his mind. The closest he gets is when he talks about religious trauma syndrome and PTSD and CPTSD. What he never mentions is that this caused him to be a malignant narcissist and psychopath. Go and get a diagnosis, Rebhahn. You are an archetypal dark triad individual, with the archetypal pathological background – a highly traumatic, abusive childhood – as you yourself have described! Have a chat with your mom! Er, on second thoughts…
In fact, we don’t need a dullard like Rebhahn to expose his interior. A much more intelligent, thoughtful and informative person – Vaknin – can do it by proxy.
Vaknin, as he says of himself, is aware of his condition but cannot be healed.
See for yourself what he has to say:
How I Experience My Narcissism: Aware, Not Healed
Prof. Sam Vaknin
I want to tell you how much I am afraid of pain. To me, it is a pebble in Indra’s Net – lift it and the whole net revives. My pains do not come isolated – they live in families of anguish, in tribes of hurt, whole races of agony. I cannot experience them insulated from their kin. They rush to drown me through the demolished floodgates of my childhood. These floodgates, my inner dams – this is my narcissism, there to contain the ominous onslaught of stale emotions, repressed rage, a child’s injuries.
[AC: So, Vaknin says that narcissism is one psychological response – a defense mechanism – to a severely damaged psyche in childhood. It’s there to stop the PAIN. It seeks narcissistic supply to get the psyche to feel loved and confident about itself, and to avoid the terrible hurt and damage it was subjected to that causes it the utmost anguish. Rebhahn is a man whose childhood was utterly miserable and lonely … he was an abandoned, friendless, weird child, stewing in his own juices. And now he is addicted to people showing him unconditional love, and he does everything he can to find such people, and he rages against anyone who does not love him, even trying to get the FBI to attack such people … as we know!]
Pathological narcissism is useful – this is why it is so resilient and resistant to change. When it is “invented” by the tormented individual – it enhances his functionality and makes life bearable for him. Because it is so successful, it attains religious dimensions – it becomes rigid, doctrinaire, automatic and ritualistic. In other words, it becomes a PATTERN of behavior.
[AC: And you can see that Rebhahn, with his relentless twice weekly deadstreams, is now engaged in a rigid, doctrinaire, automatic and ritualistic pattern of behavior, with religious dimensions, and is very successful insofar as Rebhahn has conned hundreds of people into paying for him to have a very swanky, millionaire life, supported by other millionaires, in Hollywood.]
I am a narcissist and I can feel this rigidity as though it were an outer shell. It constrains me. It limits me. It is often prohibitive and inhibitive. I am afraid to do certain things. I am injured or humiliated when forced to engage in certain activities. I react with rage when the mental edifice supporting my disorder is subjected to scrutiny and criticism – no matter how benign.
[AC: Rebhahn cannot stand any scrutiny and criticism and rages against it. He can only accept slaves, worshipers, those who will never challenge him, never offer him anything but mindless and unconditional devotion and adoration, hence Hyperianism – an almost perfect master-slave cult where none of the cultists would even for a second contemplate putting their god under any pressure. Not one of these cultists has ever asked Rebhahn to come clean about the FBI. Not one! Because it would totally destroy their image of their God. Morgy Porgy will, finally, be in extremely serious difficulties with his cult when the screenshots are produced showing him discussing the FBI case with his mods. Then all the Hyperians will realize we were right all along about Rebhahn. Go on, all you Hyperians, how many of you still believe that we are lying about all this? Boy, what a shock you’re going to get very soon, as Rebhahn must already be starting to suspect!]
Narcissism is ridiculous. I am pompous, grandiose, repulsive and contradictory. There is a serious mismatch between who I really am and what I really achieved – and how I feel myself to be. It is not that I THINK that I am far superior to other humans intellectually. Thought implies volition – and willpower is not involved here. My superiority is ingrained in me, it is a part of my every mental cell, an all-pervasive sensation, an instinct and a drive. I feel that I am entitled to special treatment and outstanding consideration because I am such a unique specimen. I know this to be true – the same way you know that you are surrounded by air. It is an integral part of my identity. More integral to me than my body.
[AC: And, if Rebhahn were in any way an honest, self-reflective individual – rather than a clinically insane malignant narcissist – then he would echo these statements EXACTLY. Rebhahn really does believe he is an intrinsically superior being, and has believed this utterly since childhood, when he created a False Self, which is always necessarily a self that considers itself GOD. Why did Rebhahn love our work so much? It was because it gave him a whole vocabulary, a whole system, a whole worldview, in which he could present himself as GOD. We have always talked about humans becoming gods, but of course the way we talk about it is totally different from how Rebhahn talks about it. For us, it’s an aspiration that can only realistically happen in the far-distant future. For a malignant narcissist such as Rebhahn, it has already happened. He is already GOD. And that’s why he’s so grandiose and pompous and portrays himself as an Ascended Master, a Messiah, come to earth to teach the lowly humans how to attain the same divinity as himself. It absolutely nauseates us to see our work being abused in this way by a malignant narcissist. As for Rebhahn, he has more or less convinced himself that our work is his – because if he’s God, he would surely have known this himself! Do you see the “logic”?]
This opens a gap – rather, an abyss – between me and other humans. Because I consider myself so special, I have no way of knowing how it is to be THEM.
[AC: Rebhahn has no connection at all to normal human beings. No empathy. All he wants is their worship and money. He cares nothing at all for them. RJ worked incredibly hard for Rebhahn for years. Days after saying that he was leaving Hyperianism, but with the greatest love for those he had shared so much with – a very HUMAN thing to say! – RJ had police at his door checking if he was an insane assassin … because that’s how Rebhahn had deliberately and maliciously painted him in his official IC3 complaint to the FBI. That’s an incredibly INHUMAN thing to do. It’s also the reason why Rebhahn will go to jail. Malignant narcissists always do inhuman, mad things – precisely because they have no empathy whatsoever. For Rebhahn, once RJ opposed him, RJ was someone who had to be stamped on and ground into the dust, as a warning to everyone else, and especially to us – since Rebhahn’s No.1 goal was to stop us telling the truth about him and his sick cult every day. Rebhahn didn’t give a fuck about his attempt to destroy RJ’s life. RJ did NOTHING other than leave Hyperianism, and yet is STILL the subject of an open FBI case. This is absolutely intolerable, and justice must be done to Rebhahn for what he did to RJ (and the many other victims of his malignant narcissism). This can never end until justice is served.]
In other words, I cannot empathize. Can you empathize with an ant? Empathy implies identity or equality, both abhorrent to me. And being so inferior, people are reduced to cartoonish, two-dimensional representations of functions. They become instrumental or useful or functional or entertaining – rather than loving or interacting emotionally. It leads to ruthlessness and exploitativeness.
[AC: Exactly as we see with Rebhahn.]
I am not a bad person – actually, I am a good person. I have helped people – many people – all my life. So, I am not evil.
[AC: This is exactly what Rebhahn tells himself. But Vaknin, for all his talk, went to jail – he was an evil criminal! – and so will Rebhahn, another evil criminal. Wikipedia says, “In Israel in 1995 [Vaknin] was found guilty on three counts of securities fraud along with two other men, Nissim Avioz and Dov Landau. … In 1996, as a condition of parole, he agreed to a mental health evaluation, which noted various personality disorders. According to Vaknin, ‘I was borderline, schizoid, but the most dominant was NPD,’ and on this occasion he accepted the diagnosis, because, he wrote, ‘it was a relief to know what I had.’” Rebhahn’s only way to secure a lighter sentence will be to do something similar – to acknowledge that he is seriously mentally ill and a danger to others, as many have discovered to their cost.]
My name is Sam Vaknin. I was released from jail in 1996. I carried a few crumpled clothes in a shabby duffle bag. That is all that was left of my life as Israel’s most prominent stock broker. This and an improvised cardboard bound notebook in which I kept a record of a journey of self-discovery within the prison walls. This was later to become “Malignant Self Love – Narcissism Revisited”. Until recently, I was the Economic Advisor to the Government of Macedonia (of Kosovo crisis fame) and a political and economic columnist. But I am also an acknowledged and self-aware narcissist – the victim of the pernicious Narcissistic Personality Disorder. … Sixteen years later I found myself incarcerated in one of Israel’s more notorious prisons. I lost everything: my deeply-loved wife, all my possessions and my reputation. I was derided and bandied about as a symbol of corruption and avarice. Jail is a great place for soul-searching. It is an imposed vacation but without the amenities and with indescribable psychological pressure. … While in jail, I was tentatively diagnosed by a psychiatrist there as the victim of a Narcissistic / Borderline Personality Disorder. Alarmed by this foreign sounding diagnosis and unable to secure an unequivocal description of its problematics from the psychiatrist in question – I embarked on a road of self-discovery. … Until 1995 I co-owned businesses with a consolidated annual turnover of 10 million US dollars. I left jail penniless but now I am recovering. … Five years ago I was in jail. Israeli prisons are amongst the most brutal and over-crowded in the world.
[AC: Rebhahn will get to experience similar things for himself, but, as we say, he’s much less intelligent and self-aware than Vaknin. Why doesn’t Rebhahn stop reading ancient Gnostic texts and start reading – on his deadstreams – Sam Vaknin’s book? Ho, ho, ho! Never let reality intrude into the Hyperian fantasy!]
What I am is indifferent. I couldn’t care less. I help people because it is a way to secure attention, gratitude, adulation and admiration. And because it is the fastest and surest way to get rid of them and their incessant nagging.
[AC: Rebhahn is exactly the same! This guy has ZERO respect for his worshipers and donors. As soon as his moderators left, he had sub-zero respect for them. He only ever saw them as people of use to him, not as real people to be respected and thanked for all their incredible hard work ON REBHAHN’S BEHALF.]
I realize these unpleasant truths cognitively – but there is no corresponding emotional reaction (emotional correlate) to this realization. There is no resonance. It is like reading a boring users’ manual pertaining to a computer you do not even own. It is like watching a movie about yourself. There is no insight, no assimilation of these truths. When I write this now, I feel like writing the script of a mildly interesting docudrama. It is not I.
[AC: Rebhahn, like Vaknin, has no “I”. It vanished into the deep unconscious and was replaced by the False Self, the uttermost Persona. That’s why Rebhahn is pure image. Can you imagine that guy with a regular haircut, wearing regular clothes, and sitting in a regular room? You cannot. Because this person is pure IMAGE. There is no real person behind the image. The image is the whole thing, and absolutely everything is done to maintain the image – because what else is to be done? There is only VOID behind the mask. Rebhahn lives inside the mask, the False Self. Corey Rebhahn is NOT human!]
Still, to further insulate myself from the improbable possibility of confronting these facts – the gulf between reality and grandiose fantasy (the Grandiosity Gap, in my writings) – I came up with the most elaborate mental structure, replete with mechanisms, levers, switches and flickering alarm lights.
[AC: Rebhahn inhabits only the grandiose fantasy – aka Hyperianism. There is a vast Grandiosity Gap between Hyperianism and reality. Rebhahn too has the “most elaborate mental structure, replete with mechanisms, levers, switches and flickering alarm lights.” Rebhahn should be considered more AI than human. That’s why he loves the thought of the Metaverse so much.]
My narcissism does two things for me – it always did:
- Isolate me from the pain of facing reality;
- Allow me to inhabit the fantasyland of ideal perfection and brilliance.
These once-vital functions are bundled in what is known to psychologists as my “False Self”.
[AC: This is Rebhahn’s world, the world of the False Self. Reality never shows up. Just watch any Rebhahn deadstream – a reality-free zone. Rebhahn is a False Human, a human impersonator. Whatever you imagine he is experiencing, you are totally wrong. This guy’s internal experiences have no resemblance at all to yours. You have a real self and real emotions. Rebhahn does not. He has a False Self and false emotions. As Vaknin says, there are no “emotional correlates”. Do not mistake this person for anyone who has anything in common with you. Once a person constructs a False Self, they have left the human race. Rebhahn hasn’t been a human for decades. All you need to do is work way through his Facebook timeline – a genuinely horrific experience – and you will grasp that this person is anything other than human. He has absolute contempt and hatred for humanity, as his Terrors of Men project so clearly revealed.]
So, here’s the latest news on the David G. McAfee front. David sent his first question to Morgue on Wednesday. As yet, so we hear, he has received no reply. Rebhahn couldn’t even get to grips with the first question! What, have you got something to hide Morgy Porgy? Yeah, you love telling your cult gimps to question everything and everyone, especially you. Of course, they never do. But when you get asked an actual question by someone who isn’t one of your fangirls or boys then it’s a whole different ballgame, isn’t it, Rebhahn? Cat got your tongue? You know that McAfee has access to Jewel’s account of life in Hyperianism, right? You definitely don’t want to be questioned about that, do you? The McAfee article will proceed with or without Rebhahn’s input. But it may be another two or three weeks before it finally appears. We expect Hyperianism to finally fold shortly afterwards – especially since several books are lined up to demolish Hyperianism. Anyone who imagines Hyperianism has a future is living with the fairies. IT’S OVER. Only perverse defiance remains, and fear. What will these people do without their cult?! Some of these people will be plunged into absolute despair and depression – and it’s all Rebhahn’s fault. This is what cults do to people! That’s their MO. Why do people never learn?
Hey Rebhahn, why aren’t you publishing your complaint to the FBI? Don’t you think your cultists deserve to see what you said about your opponents? Oh, sorry, that’s a tough question for you, and, as we all know, you NEVER answer tough questions! Only the softballs tossed to you by those who worship you. What a sad sack you are. Are you the most cowardly man on earth?! Take your medicine.
Rebhahn didn’t even show his glove puppet mods what he said in his complaint to the Feds. Rebhahn said,
“I just checked the report I made to the IC3 and all of it is factual and none of your names are mentioned.”
HAHAHAHA. Rebhahn is a severely mentally ill malignant narcissist and psychopath … and a compulsive liar. The very FACT that he didn’t even let his mods see what he wrote demonstrates how full of lies it is. It’s simple, Rebhahn … if all of your “report” is “factual” and none of your mods’ names are mentioned then what could possibly stop you from publishing this report? Those mod clowns don’t have a clue what you wrote in their name. We do – because our side was on the receiving end of your sick, deranged, malicious lies.
You must surely be shitting yourself now Rebhahn – how the fuck do we know exactly what you said?! And what else do we know about your behind-the-scenes maneuvers? Your whole sick empire is collapsing. The truth will set everyone else free – and send you to jail!
RJ was asked by a Vancouver police detective: “What information do you have regarding moderators of Hyperianism?” Let’s see now … why would a detective be asking about the moderators of Hyperianism if they were, er, not mentioned in Rebhahn’s complaint to the FBI?! Hmmmm. Riddle me that? These people obviously WERE mentioned (although it’s possible their names were omitted, but not their functions and their DIRECT involvement in all of this!).
You Hyperian mods are insane if you imagine that you are merely “witnesses” here. You supplied this individual – Rebhahn – with the key content that he used to trigger a criminal swatting operation, using the FBI and Canadian police as his dupes. If you think you are not directly part of his complaint, part of his conspiracy, you are living in cloud cuckoo land. Fat Jan supplied the info to Rebhahn that RJ was heavily armed (in fact, he has no guns!). Necrophil supplied the infamous POTUS comment – two and a half years old! – yet the Vancouver police were certainly under the impression that this comment had been made in the last few days. Why on earth would they think that if it they had clearly been informed that it was years old? They had obviously been told no such thing! They were led to believe that this was a current situation – a potential active shooter situation! – not ancient history. Whom shall we blame? Shall we blame Rebhahn alone for lying through his teeth, or shall we blame Shope for supplying this POTUS remark, but removing all context from it – such as the date and the fact that he himself made much worse threats regarding Trump in the same private conversation?! We’ll let the FBI sort that out. You are so fucked, Shope!
And, of course, mad Susan Bitchell was the person who instantly weaponized the POTUS comment despite knowing it was years old and totally irrelevant. You are so fucked too, Bitchell. Who will care for your mother and husband when you are in jail?!
You people really are crazy if: a) you believe Rebhahn without even seeing his actual complaint to the FBI, and b) you imagine that your actions do not constitute conspiracy with Corey Rebhahn to present a false complaint to the FBI to swat your legitimate critics.
You should urgently demand that Rebhahn publishes your functionally joint false complaint to the FBI (since you were so materially involved with its lurid, malicious content … and you should seek legal advice immediately regarding a potential argument open to you that you too were lied to by Rebhahn and you had no idea what he was going to do with the ammunition with which you supplied him for his malignant complaint).
By the way, you must have noticed by now that no one has been arrested or charged with anything regarding Rebhahn’s malicious complaint. And we obviously haven’t been silenced. So, why would you have any other belief than that your joint complaint was TOTALLY FALSE? If it had any legitimacy, we would all be under arrest and facing very serious charges, right – given how staggeringly serious the allegations you made were, involving supposed mass terrorism and presidential assassinations!? But no one’s facing anything after four months. (Because all of the allegations were absurd!) Which can of course mean only one thing – the FBI now have to decide if your complaint was false but reasonable in the circumstances (which you must be praying for!), or that your complaint was unreasonable and totally false and malicious … and thus criminal … which is of course what we are arguing. We want all of you jailed, not just Rebhahn!
All of you people are delusional if you imagine that this is going away. The only issue is how we can get the FBI to actively investigate Corey Rebhahn, Allie Torgensen, Susan Mitchell and Phillip Shope as all being party to a conspiracy to make a false and malicious complaint – made on the basis of fabricated evidence – to swat the legitimate opponents of their cult. At the moment, the FBI just seem to be sitting on this. They don’t seem interested in properly investigating Rebhahn. The question, as always, is why not? Why don’t the FBI want to arrest this sinister and dangerous … and totally insane … cult leader?
But, by hook or by crook, we will make sure these criminals are rounded up, prosecuted and jailed. As Justice requires.
Let justice be done!
