WE'RE HERE! (part one)

As promised TC is bringing you an exclusive investigative report on Richard's Bass Bag. We lift the lid on this blog and the disturbing truth behind it. We suspect that Richard aka Dick, the 'mind' behind RBB is a MPD sufferer. 

What Is MPD?

Multi Personality Disorder (MPD) is a dissociative disorder. It is a disruption of a person’s sense of identity (Id). And, as such is part of the sub-conscious and not part of a person’s normal control.

MPD differs from other memory disorders in that the sufferers are taken over by one or more “alter personalities”. We’ll call these Dicks.  These Dicks, buried in the sub-conscious since childhood can rise to the surface and impose their own memories, thoughts, and behaviors.

The essential feature of MPD is that behavior is controlled by two or more Dicks which operate independently. One Dick may feel threatened as another endangers it or argues with it. The sufferer is said to experience a sense of being made to misbehave, hurt themselves or engage in unsocial activities that an ordinary person would not be involved in. An example is that a high percentage of sufferers that are musicians deliberately choose as their ‘weapon’ of choice the unpopular instruments such as double basses, banjos, mandolins, fiddles and trumpets. 

The image of all this is of terrorists infiltrating a country, an operator taking control of a machine, or a parasite attacking another organism. Studies of MPD sufferers have shown that they say that if they are not careful the Dicks will take over. These Dicks are believed to have many truly remarkable capabilities and qualities. Some have the task of reproducing — of creating new Dicks. Others determine which Dick will take control of the body at any given time. There are Dicks of the opposite sex, of children, historical characters, gods and demons. Dicks of people thousands of years old or from another dimension have been reported by MPD sufferers

MPD proponents assert that all manner of activities — creating a work of art, driving a car, teaching a class, busking, playing in bands, cleaning up old relatives, cooking and even blogging are performed by Dicks.

Dicks are often wily, secretive, and elusive. For instance, guest Dicks have been identified whose role is to deny that the sufferer has MPD, thus obscuring the diagnosis. Dicks are also said to try to trick therapists by hiding and impersonating each other 0r the opposite may occur: during therapy, several Dicks may coalesce into a kind of “Superdick”. 

What Causes MPD?

According to the experts, extraordinary childhood traumas, usually sexual or religious or a combination of both lead to MPD. There is a high incidence of children who have been educated in Catholic schools and who have been taught by Brothers becoming MPD sufferers and becoming Superdicks.

The theory is as follows. Because the child cannot physically escape the pain, its only option is to escape mentally: by dissociating. Dissociation is said to defend against pain by allowing the maltreatment to be experienced as if it were happening to someone else. Eventually these defenses begin to be overused and slowly become “crystallized” until they become personalities. The Dicks are born. 

 There have been many famous studies of MPD and the Dicks that have been created. This investigation looks at a modern, contemporary and potentially very serious case – Richard (of RBB).

Richard demonstrates some of the classic traits of an MPD sufferer. He was educated in Catholic schools. He claims that a Brother ‘put his hands up his trousers’ when he was in primary school. There is no evidence that this actually happened and it beggars belief that anyone would want to put their hands up Richard’s trousers but in cases of MPD it is the sufferers belief that events happened rather than actuality that is important.

Richard also is a musician and has chosen the double bass as his instrument of choice. This is important. Mortification of the flesh is a Catholic institution and is self-flagellation – hurting oneself to atone for misdeeds. Perhaps this explains the choice of an otherwise instrument that should be avoided.

Richard has created many Dicks to both support him, and, fitting with the classic symptoms of MPD, to berate, cajole, argue with and criticize him. Akish, The The, RBB2, RBB3, Dave, Anselm, The  The, The Boring Guy, Beowulf, DTZB, Bin Hire and maybe even Second amongst others are the Dicks that he creates and surrounds himself with.
