Character Assassination
Smear Campaign
I speak on body language, deception detection and dealing with difficult people, including how to deal with narcissists, psychopaths and sociopaths..
The sociopath version is the dishonest version. Sociopath are known for accusing others for things they are doing themselves. For example, if a sociopath is on a smear campaign, they will accuse the REAL victim of trying to accuse their target of stalking them. RED FLAG- the sociopath will do whatever necessary to humiliate their “Target” aka the person they are stalking.

When you see someone ranting…(Name) being a cyber troll, or
stalker going on to tell others… The sociopathy is likely to accuse the person
of being, ‘mentally unstable” …..Jealous.. insecure. They want to vilify the
real victim before their victim talks, so they use these kind of humiliating
tactic to discredit, and destroy the real victim. Notice a person calling

Notice a person calling someone a cyber troll, bully, or stalker - Is the character assassin.
The RED FLAG
that the person accusing another is when they chose to use the Other persons
First and Last Name. It IS DEFAMATION, CHARACTER
ASSASSINATION, AND SLANDER.
The classic
symptom of someone suffering from Borderline
Personality Disorder, Sociopathic, Narcissistic, Histrionic, Anti-Social
Personality Disorder is
how they are“Always the Victim”
From http://characterassassinator-ruinyou.blogspot.com/2014/01/sociopath-let-them-destroy-themselves.html
Sociopaths choose a partner who is empathic and kind (an easy target to manipulate). They lie to their families and their partner, and cheat with multiple partners, and when confronted they deny and blame. Making the person feel as is they are going crazy. The sociopath projects all their mental issues, and shames onto their partner, or their target, or a family member – especially when confronted with something that they have done or are doing wrong.
You may
be one of the unfortunate ones who were unfortunate to cross roads with a
psychopath. If you’re fortunate, you were only temporarily targeted by the
psychopath, and were used (possibly abused or picked-clean) then discarded like
yesterday’s trash. Psychopaths excel at blending-in with society and they
permeate all walks of life. You may encounter them at work, in religious
organizations or you may find yourself in an in ntimate relationship with one.Some
people are lifetime targets of Psychopathic Character Assassination (Psyca) a
full-on unbridled attempt by the “Path” (used interchangeably to represent
either a psychopath or sociopath) to totally destroy any credibility that the
unsuspecting victim may have had.
What
makes this victim so special over the other victims, that they are targeted to
be the recipients of a possibly life-long dedication to end all normal social
interaction or positive human connection with other inhabitants of our planet?
Simply
stated, in most cases, victims
of Psyca normally self-select by knowing too much about the Path.
Paths routinely maintain
at least two separate personas. One, a positive, gregarious, revered
personality that is embraced by unsuspecting society, the other is their dark
Path self: their evil twin. They may have many other personalities that
they dial-in at any particular moment to manipulate their current audience (not
to be confused with multi-personality disorder because they change personas at
will with the intent to defraud).
It is imperative that the
Path keep their dark sides hidden from the general populace. Think about it; if
anyone knew who they really were, their lives would crumble. To the Path,
protecting the secrecy of their true innate evil is as important to them as
anything that provides life or sense of purpose to any other normal human
being.
Paths usually launch
their Psyca-attacks following a very calculated formula. Even though there is
no known, “playbook,” that has been published for the Paths to follow, they all
intuitively use the same system to ruin the lives of those who they feel may be
a threat to the sacred secrecy of his or her true self. Certainly, making a
potential witness appear to be a crazy, mentally disturbed,
narcissistic sociopath, psychopath or pathological liar is the logical
solution.
LAYING THE GROUNDWORK
Years
of research and experience has concluded that usually within the first moments
of engaging with a victim who might have access to too much personal
information on the Path, they begin to
sow the seeds of doubt and lack of trustworthiness behind the victim’s back.
The
Path draws in the friends, family co-workers and acquaintances of the victims
with his or her personal charm in an effort to build a (false) trust
relationship with the fringe audience. This is accomplished with little effort
as the Path has innate skills that easily manipulate the perceptions of others
endearing them to him or her as they wield their persuasiveness and charm.
The
initial impact, though appearing quite harmless and innocuous is commonly
cloaked in the appearance of sincere concern for the victim’s well-being and
might sound something, like, “I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed, but have you
ever thought that (insert victim’s name) may not be what he (or she) appears to
be?” No accusations, no data, reports or inclinations of anything concrete,
just tilling the soil and fertilizing it with a little doubt.
All the
while, they are increasing their own credibility with someone who may be a
family member, friend, co-worker or acquaintance of the intended victim;
unaware that they are being groomed as the Path’s minion who will be turned
against the victim when the time is right.
SOWING FALSE “FACTS”
Grooming from this point
forward will take a secretive slant and will likely be presupposed with
something, like, “Don’t tell (insert name), but…” as they actually sow seeds of
doubt.
As the relationship
between the Path and his minion(s) grows deeper, more and more seeds will be
sown in an effort to cast doubt, while the victim is none the wiser.
I’ve always thought it
peculiar, that in most cases, these once close associates of the victim rarely,
if ever, courteously approach them with the sensitive information with a
sincere, “Hey, I was just wondering about (insert
reports of lack of sanity, trustworthiness, a secret double-life, illicit
drug-use, illegal activities, pathological symptoms, etc…)…” that would
definitely be an early indicator that something was up.
In
most, if not all, circumstances the victim continues to navigate their life’s
journey unaware that the world they once enjoyed is being eroded or destroyed
behind their back.
It is common for the Path
to project their own psychological attributes onto you. For instance, if
they are a closet illicit drug user, then this will be represented as being a
problem for you. If he or she is manipulative or controlling, this would be
presented as something that you struggle with unbeknownst to others. If they
tend to make up elaborate stories, it will be the victim who secretly lives a
fantasy-life where nothing is as it seems… on and on and on…
Why? Because no one knows
these attributes better than the Path. They are the undeniable expert in these
pathologies and they know how critical it is for someone who has them to keep
them a secret in an effort to appear to be normal.
In no
way am I suggesting that the Path might limit their Psyca-attacks to their own
attributes. They are extremely acute at the skill of taking a known truth and
spinning it into a ludicrous conclusion that will cast a dark shadow on anyone
at any time.
ENTER THE “SPIN”
Paths have the ability to
spin any factual data into an amazing story that will breed conspiracy or
contempt for any individual at will.
For
instance, let’s say that you had a hard day at work all day, due to struggling
with an intense ongoing headache. Everyone at work could tell that you were not
“on your game” as usual. If you intimated to the Path that you had a headache;
that would give them the data that they needed to spin a tale.
The
tale may take many shapes and forms, but will be consistent with some of the
previous seeds that had been sown against you. For instance, if the Path’s
intention was to have you appear to his or her minions that you were a closet
illicit drug user, he or she might intimate, “Wow, did you notice that (insert
your name) was out of it yesterday? It’s normal to go through withdrawals when
you don’t get your fix before you get to work… It’s so sad…”
No
matter what you say or do, you cannot prevent the Path from spinning it into a
negative story about you that will erode your sense of normalcy.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END
When
the Path has a clue that you are coming to the end of your usefulness in the
accomplishment of their goals, he or she ramps up the defamation, usually
making it appear that it is you who is beginning to attack them. At this point
the Path will appeal to their minions’ sensibilities as they present themselves
as the sacrifice, martyr or victim of your psychotic manipulations.
It will
become apparent to you when your relationship with the Path is coming to an
end, that there has been a definite polarity has taken place. People who were once your friends will drift
away… and you will notice a gravitation toward the Path.
Having
no internal filter, they will stop at nothing in an effort to humiliate you.
They will spout vile accusations, even proclaim you’re mentally ill, if it will
support their proclamation that you cannot be trusted or are inherently evil.
Trying to defend yourself
is almost pointless. If the Path is quite proficient – as most of them are very
accomplished – anything that you say in your defense will appear to be a part
of your psychosis and will strengthen all of the groundwork that the Path has
laid in preparation of this moment.
Even if
the Path’s relationship with the minions begins to dissolve (as it almost
always does when the Path moves on in search of new victims and minions), the seeds will always leave a mark
in their minds… and as heartbreaking as it may be, in most cases, regardless of
the ultimate outcome of the Path’s lifestyle, there may be no hope for
recovering the life that you once knew.
Jobs
and careers may be lost, friends will turn their backs on you, family members
will distance themselves, the people that you once trusted with your most
intimate thoughts and feelings will always wonder who you “really were” all the
time they knew you.
THE RELENTLESS COMMITMENT
TO YOUR DESTRUCTION
There
is no way to anticipate how long the attacks will take place. In some cases, if
the Path is the least bit concerned that you might at some point discredit them
or tarnish their appearance or reputation… the attacks will continue. If the
Path believes that at any point you could be a threat to their charade, the
spinning will not cease. This perceived threat may continue until either of you
cease to be.
Many
Paths have come right out and made bold, public declarations that they, “will
not rest until you are,” locked up, put away, homeless, or dead.

One of
the dead giveaways of psychopathic behavior is that of the vicious,
psychotic character assassination campaigns
that are wielded against anyone who stand in their way or might pose a threat
to their agenda(s).
Please
keep in mind that if you have become the targeted victim of a psychopath’s
smear campaign, that it is nothing personal. In fact, nothing can ever be seen
as “personal” to a psychopath as they are devoid of any feelings (like a normal
person might have); no love, no hate, no empathy, no remorse. They only see
other people as tools or possessions and may even use phrases, like:
·
You’re mine
·
I own you
And
when they are done with you, they have so little regard for you that they might
say:
·
I will end you
·
You will be nothing when I’m done with you
This
campaign focused on your destruction need not have any basis in actual fact, as
the psychopath will create an alternative universe using a method that
transfers the attributes of the psychopath in an effort to discredit the victim
so much that anything they might say would not be considered as a factual
representation of the truth.
The
battleground may include close personal relationships, workplaces…………….
. For
the psychopath it is a long-term commitment to bury their prey and sometimes it
can be a lifetime obsession.
The
appropriate response when attacked by a psychopathic smear campaign is not to
respond, not to defend, not to react, and not to contact the predator ever
again; period, as any response, no matter how negative, threatening or even a
lawfully empowered response will only add fuel to the fire that runs the engine
of the assailant. Do not ask the psychopath to stop or try to negotiate with
him/her.
Without
responding, document everything. In regards to the importance of documentation:
Psychopaths
will manipulate those who have your confidence in order to probe you for
information that feeds the psychopathic fire and they will be spreading lies
about your credibility and/or sanity. Anything you say to them will be twisted
and misconstrued to reflect upon you in the worst possible light.
