Notorious stalker George Gollin: "Alarming...CRACKPOT"

[Armando Ramos]

Looks like notorious stalker George Gollin's fan club on YouTube has been busy again.  Somehow I doubt Mr. Spock was at the actual graduation, but he's a welcome addition to an otherwise not very interesting journey through Gollin's vacant mind.  After about 20 seconds of that self-important nonsense I was kinda wishing for a Vulcan "neck pinch" myself.

These rambling, incoherent statements are excerpts from an ACTUAL SPEECH made by Crackpot CHEA director George Gollin (George D. Gollin, George Dana Gollin) on May 17, 1998.

I see the hypocrite crackpot George Gollin is trying to censor his own words at YouTube with a bogus "copyright" claim. George Gollin is the one who said George Gollin was a "Crack Pot." How can he argue with himself? He can't, of course, so he has to try to hide the evidence of his stupidity.

Just in case YouTube is dumber than we thought, we've obtained a copy of the mp4 file of the video, so you can always watch it right here:

These rambling, incoherent statements are excerpts from an ACTUAL SPEECH made by Crackpot CHEA director George Gollin (George D. Gollin, George Dana Gollin) on May 17, 1998.

Below is a post I made last year when the mental case Jared Loughner was blasting pols in AZ. It concerned his "rambling, incoherent" writings and comments.

I'm posting it again on this thread because after seeing that video of the Gollum cartoon caricature speaking Gollum's actual words it struck me as a clear exhibition of the very sort of delusional thinking that is common in schizophrenia. As Dr. Torrey said, "when you see these rambling, incoherent writings and comments, there is almost no other disorder where this is a prominent symptom.”

As Torrey says, “The psychosis picks up on the grand themes of the day." If you can stand to read the full speech you see it is a mish-mash of Gollum's self-congratulatory anecdotes regarding his fancied cleverness as a teacher combined with a review from a leftist perspective of certain political issues.

Gollum thinks this nutty 1998 graduation rant not only makes perfect sense but is worthy of preservation for posterity. I'm glad he did preserve it because it demonstrates his mental issues have been extant at least since then, not something new since his narcissistic self-proclamation of expertise in higher ed accreditation.

His bogus assertion of copyright issues regarding the video is just another "grievance" to be conflated with his fantasized "larger mission," be it "diploma mills" or his contrived "community service obligation." As the doctor said, it's psychotic thinking.

The fact that he describes himself as a "crackpot" and his behavior as "alarming" just reinforces the self-diagnosis. He's nuts and he knows it. Now you know it too, what are you gonna do about it?

Not unlike the major midwestern university that has a professor on staff notorious for death threats, stalking and unstable behavior. Will they also be blaming talk radio when he goes postal?

Rambling, incoherent writings and comments?

Red Flags at a College, but Tied Hands

...Although there is no reliable profile for a political assassin, such people almost always plan their attack, carefully choosing a target, a weapon and a time.

“We tend to want to dismiss these people as unstable types that snapped,” Dr. Borum said, “but there’s a whole process that occurs between conceiving the idea and executing it.”

Details about Mr. Loughner are still emerging, and only an examining doctor will be able to make a definitive diagnosis. But the writings and comments attributed to him point strongly to the kind of delusional thinking that is common in schizophrenia.

“I’d say the chances are 99 percent that he has schizophrenia,” said Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, the founder of the Treatment Advocacy Center in Arlington, Va., which advocates stronger laws to require treatment for people with severe mental illnesses. “He was together enough to take courses, and people with untreated schizophrenia can function very well for periods. But when you see these rambling, incoherent writings and comments, there is almost no other disorder where this is a prominent symptom.”

Many of Mr. Loughner’s reported comments — about currency and government — also suggest a growing paranoia. As a rule, violence is less common among people with mental illness than is often assumed; a vast majority are no more likely to commit harm than anyone else.

But studies suggest that a small subset of those with untreated, paranoid psychosis are two to three times as likely as people without mental disorders to get into physical altercations, researchers say.

“Certainly not all paranoids are mass murderers” by a long shot, said Dr. Michael Stone, a forensic psychiatrist in New York, “but almost all mass murderers are paranoid.”

But even if a doctor had diagnosed paranoia in this case, the knowledge might not have been helpful. A 1999 study of assassins and attackers found few common threads. Many had delusional ideas, but few heard voices; still fewer abused drugs or belonged to militant groups.

It is also not clear, some doctors said, that today’s partisan climate had any bearing on the assault. “The psychosis picks up on the grand themes of the day, whether those are antigovernment or something else,” Dr. Stone said.

In the logic of delusion, a grievance may be conflated with some larger mission, whether religious, political or artistic. “It’s not political thinking,” Dr. Torrey said. “It’s psychotic thinking.”

Dr. Borum and many others have argued that colleges, among other large institutions, can be more assertive in their approach to people who show a potential for violence.

“If complaints are piling up about someone, you could send a mental health person and a member of the campus police over to simply interview the person,” Dr. Borum said. “This intervention might be enough to put the person on notice, and maybe to move them into treatment.”

If not, they may wind up — as Mr. Loughner apparently did — alone with their thoughts. In recent decades, states have cut spending for hospitals and treatment centers, to the point where many people with aggressive urges cannot get therapy even if they want it. This retreat from providing services may have affected the sentencing of mentally ill offenders, some experts argue.

“The insanity defense, which may be tried in this case, is often unsuccessful,” Dr. Torrey said, “and one reason is that juries are afraid to send people to state hospitals, where they belong. They’d rather lock them up for longer, in prison.”

Looks like stalking crackpot George Gollin is trying to censor all the videos on Youtube. Too bad--we have obtained a copy of his "interview." This is one of the rare times when he actually spoke the truth, so of course he would want to censor that.

I still have to ask this, has there been any attempt to get this dickhead fired? I mean he sucks up tax money, does not seem to do anything. In fact I saw somewhere that he was only teaching one class a semester. WTF?

[bigfoot]

ROTFLMAO! you guys are the best. I read all the previous posts concerning the triad of Bear/Klempner,Gollum and Contreras. I love the fact that Contreras got slammed in court and had to take remedial courses in dafamation law...LOL! was this guy actually an attorney, attempting to uphold unconstitutional laws, like the ones he attempted to uphold at the ODA? Every state that has attempted to pass laws that make it a crime to use/state that you have a legal,valid unaccredited degree has lost! You guys do a wonderful job clarifying the truth about DL and clearing up all ambiguity. Keep up the outstanding work

[Winston Smith]

After reading these current stories about the stalking mental case ex-cop out in California going around attacking people he imagines are responsible for his problems, I couldn't help but be reminded of this thread and some of the others.

Definitely some very clear parallels. Considering that even Gollin's fellow stalkers considered him so unstable they kicked him off their board, Levicoff might have understated it when he called Gollin a "weirdo."

Ex-FB Agent: Dorner A 'Pathological Narcissist'

Posted: Feb 08, 2013 11:33 AM PST Updated: Feb 08, 2013 3:15 PM PST

Los Angeles, CA -
While the manhunt continues for ex-LAPD cop turned accused cop killer, Christopher Dorner, we're taking a different look at that massive, detailed and bitter manifesto that he's left behind.

Man people are looking at his writing, studying it for clues, and understanding if there is such a thing.

One person taking a closer look is Joe Navarro, an ex-police officer who became one of the youngest agents recruited to the FBI. He spent more than 25 years as a counterintelligence agent catching spies.

Navarro, who we spoke to by phone, says he believes that Dorner is a very flawed individual with personality and character disorders; that he has an overvaluation of self and devalues others.

Basically, he's a pathological narcissist, Navarro says.

"It's amazing how much is in the manifesto," he told FOX 11. "One gets a sense about his personality and his character, and we begin to sense that this individual is very ego-centric, very narcissistic; has a high sense of himself, a high sense of entitlement."

The narcissistic personality tells us the trajectory of events is potentially more dramatic and spectacular and could lead to many more people getting hurt, he added.

"He addresses the letter to America, he talked about 'most of you,' that what he is going to do is a 'necessary evil,' and this is very much a part of aggressive narcissism, so it does tell us about his mind set," he said.

He also compares Dorner to another infamous criminal -- the unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. He believes that both men see themselves as perfect and having all the right answers; that violence is the only justifiable remedy for those who don't subscribe to their view.

"What throws him into the special realm of dangerous personalities is the fact that he is a wound collector," Navarro said. "He sees social slights, indifference, human imperfections, diversity and catalogs them and nourishes those wounds ... so that he can justify his actions."

Navarro goes on to say that authorities are going to figure out where his comfort zone, where are potential targets, and find out if he is anywhere near his comfort zone, or has the investigation forced him into an area that was maybe unanticipated.

Co-parenting with Christopher Dorner

Dorner Deemed Narcissist by FBI Profiler: Some Co-Parents Can Relate to Scary Similarities in Symptomatic Behavior

Christopher Dorner has terrified Southern California residents for nearly one week, since his murderous rampage began last Sunday. Since that time a massive man hunt has ensued to find the killer who is intent upon destroying the lives and families of those he feels have wronged him. The week long investigation has brought troubling details to surface about Dorner’s life that FBI profilers say strongly indicate a case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

This is the same personality disorder that affects hundreds of thousands of people across the nation. The most vocal of those affected are divorced or separated parents who are forced into co-parenting arrangements with people who have the disorder. As details of Dorner’s past behavior have come to light, many of those familiar with narcissist abuse are cringing at the similarities in his past behavior and those of the narcissist in their own lives.

The Great Blame Shift

It was reported yesterday by the Huffington Post and other AP outlets that Dorner applied for restraining orders against two of his former girlfriends, one of whom was a fellow officer. In another case, he married another fellow officer but both parties filed for dissolution within nineteen days. The first restraining order was filed against the civilian girlfriend, after she posted a warning about Dorner on the website Dontdatehimgirl.com. In her posting, the woman stated, "Just be careful because this guy is a police officer and he will probably think that he can get away with anything. ... If you value your sanity, stay away from this guy." She went on to describe him as emotionally unstable and extremely paranoid. This warning evokes chillingly familiar feelings for those who have intimately encountered narcissism.

Anyone who has split from a narcissist relationship understands that this behavior is par for the course during the break-up. It is textbook-typical of narcissists to accuse their ex-partner of some kind of abuse. Narcissists are often incapable of processing the possibility that someone chooses not to be in a relationship with them. If the ex-partner is vocal about red flags or abuse they have encountered with the narcissist, they should be prepared for the backlash. The narcissist will almost certainly create or manipulate allegations which paint the other person as some kind of monster in order to avoid facing their own failures in the relationship.

Dorner went on to blame his training officer, the LAPD administration and his legal representation for his ultimate termination for allegedly making false statements about his training officer. Whether Dorner’s firing was based on justifiable terms or is in fact a case of blue shield cover-up is up for debate. However, shedding innocent blood (or even threatening it) in response is without excuse.

Lack of Empathy

In his manifesto Dorner has shifted blame to the extent that he wishes for his victims to not only live with the pain he intends to cause them, but also to “look your wives/husbands and surviving children in the eyes and tell them the truth as to why your children are dead.” He portrays himself as a victim of circumstance left with no choice but to utilize intelligence to locate the “residences, spouses workplaces, and children’s schools” in order to exact his murderous revenge.

Narcissists, as survivors of their abuse know all too well, blame their victims for the abuse. They also do not experience regret or unease over the suffering they cause their victims. They are unable to identify with the pain that others feel. Instead, narcissists are driven to envelop others into their own feelings. The narcissist views those in relationship with him/her as extensions of himself/herself rather than as individuals with their own feelings.

This same dynamic applies to narcissist parents. They do not experience empathy in the same way that people without the disorder do. Often, the narcissist parent will dole out punitive blows to both the children and the other parent without relent or remorse. They see the children and even the ex as extensions of themselves, who must be kept in line.

Need for Control or Authority

Dorner outlined in his manifesto the changes he intended to make to the infrastructure of the LAPD. He went on to give opinionated directives regarding political offices and future elections. Dorner threatened anyone (from officers in outside agencies to civilians) with their own deaths and loss of loved ones if they were to intervene with his violent plans. He addressed the children of his enemies, and instructed them to reconstruct their perceptions of their parents. Dorner appears to have appointed himself leader over each person and group mentioned in his manifesto by making dire threats on anyone who opposes him.

Those who have been in a relationship with a narcissist have experienced this harsh rule of terror. If they have children with the narcissist, this rule of terror is likely to ensue for decades. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of this dynamic for families attempting to navigate the impossible waters of co-parenting with a narcissist is the misconception that they are somehow complicit in the abuse. They are seen as contributing parties and the narcissist is in turn justified for their actions.

Family court judges and mediators are especially ill equipped at handling this dynamic. Like Dorner, narcissists present well. They obtain good jobs and high statuses, because this matters to them more than anything. Many of them are intelligent and articulate, able to talk in circles until they have convinced a significant group of followers that they are victims of racism while calling out their victims by racially organized groups. They are able to convince judges that they are excellent parents while terrorizing their exes and children in the same breath. Friends and even family may be lured into defending the narcissist, overlooking or even justifying the horrific acts of physical or emotional terror they commit against their perceived enemies.

Grandiose Delusion

Narcissists believe they are invincible. Dorner, who has admittedly elite training for his mission, believes he can take on thousands of officers to carry it out. He also understands that he will not ultimately survive, but apparently believes that will be on his own terms. Dorner believes he will personally take out so many of his enemies that “orphanages will make a comeback in the 21st century.” Narcissists typically inflate their importance while devaluing their targeted victims (or anyone else who threatens their delusion) to the point of literal insignificance. Paired with a lack of empathy, authoritarianism, and blame shifting, the narcissist equates to terrorist when they are engaged in active rage against a target. An ex-spouse or partner who rejects relationship with the narcissist, or [God forbid] decries their abuse, is the most likely to become a target of abuse for as long as it takes the narcissist to feel vindicated.

Christopher Dorner is a self-described sleeping giant. How many sleeping giants are actively exacting terror upon their families, while protective parents are waiting for them to awaken and snap? Families forced into living in this dynamic would love to ask their order-signing judges if they themselves could co-parent with Christopher Dorner. Many more are hoping that this tragedy brings awareness to a significant disorder that is destroying the lives of children and families across the nation.

Definitely some very clear parallels.

Gollin needs to work on his manifesto. Even Dorner knew that every proper mental case has a proper manifesto. This ridiculous speech of Gollum's appears to be just the rant of an unstable personality, like what you might hear from some stinking wino stumbling down the street, only less coherent. Maybe when that fairy story he calls a book comes out we will get a better look at his "final solution" to the world's problems.

Had to laugh that Dorner had been hiding out just a few doors down from the police search command post the whole time. He probably had his feet up on the coffee table eating Cheetos, was watching the whole thing on TV, and trying not to laugh so loud that somebody might hear him.

Another criminal mastermind foiled by maids and game wardens. The forest rangers couldn't catch Yogi Bear, but they cornered Dorner. Apparently he was not smarter than the average bear after all.

When it comes time for Gollum to pay the price for his stalking, extortion, defamation, academic fraud, computer hacking, civil rights violations, impersonations, parental malpractice and other malfeasance, do you think he will have the good grace to swallow his weapon like Dorner did? Or will he need 15 people to do it for him? Is his fire insurance policy up to date?
