admired by those around them and to be regarded as "someone very
important" in their own country. The ultimate result is people with no beliefs,
analyses or ideas of their own and who are totally devoted to the beliefs,
philosophies and lifestyles of their "lords and masters."
At this point, the person imagines that they have made friends within a terri-
bly important social circle. The idea that they have acquired such a circle of
friends goes some way toward easing their inferiority complex. The people in
charge of the system are also very careful to give that same impression. The
German journalist Udo Ulfkotte, who admitted working for the CIA, summa-

those whom it wishes to win over. Rubbing shoulders with cabinet ministers
and members of Parliament, in other words giving the impression that "you
are important, too," is far more important than money to such people.

The Desire for Approval, the Idea of Being Approved of by the

The most sensitive point of people with an inferiority complex is "being taken
seriously." Those who know how to do that can easily make these people
devoted to them through small gifts and gestures.

There is no need for expensive gifts in order to win over the pseudointellec-
tual sycophant. While they may appear to be greedy, they do not actually
