Smear Campaigns - Part II in a Series
 |
Smear Campaigns Depend on Fools Who Believe Them |
SMEAR CAMPAIGN TACTICS:
- Discredit & isolate the victim
- Play the victim and/ or hero
- Lie-exaggerate-manipulate
- Manufacture fear
- Label the victim inferior (or "sick")
- Hurt the victim for spite
The difficulty with saying no to toxic people is that they are already hazardous. After all, if they weren’t toxic, you wouldn’t have had to say no to them in the first place.
Most abusers simply want what they want and will not be denied without unleashing a torrent of phony martyrdom and vicious slander all about you and how you are an abuser. Their story will be warped, slanted and twisted until there’s not one atom of truth left in it.
Lies will be sprinkled in to try making their audience fear, prejudge and rebuke you for the 'supposed evil' you’ve perpetrated against this innocent lamb (or a vulnerable, well-respected person). You didn’t ask for your boundaries to be respected — you are a vicious animal who attacked them, and you’ve supposedly attacked others, so everyone needs to “be careful” of you if they want to be “safe”. Everyone should stand up on behalf of this good person by shutting you out and standing up against your “abuse”.
If the the abuser is a coworker, they will try to get you into trouble or fired; if they are related to you, they will attempt to have you kicked out of the family or to make you feel left out. You must be marginalized and cut off from the pack so you will be left feeling weak and alone. It is the payback the smear campaigner exacts for the fact that you got in their way. They want you sorry you were ever born, and they know how much it will hurt you to be shunned and turned against, and how powerless you will feel without the assistance of others.
The smear campaigner must see to it that anyone they are telling these lies to is “kept sweet”, and they will play the good one, the nice helpful one, the innocent one who is only trying to warn people of how secretly evil you supposedly are when nobody’s looking. They’re doing their coworkers, the family, or society a grand favor by bravely speaking out against your misdeeds and righting a wrong. They cleverly play the friendly everyday good person who is upstanding, supportive and likeable, just like the people they’re trying to reel in. They would never do anything wrong or unlikeable, not them.
The smear campaigner needs to make their audience think they are a perfectly innocent person who was shockingly blindsided by your supposed evil, unreasonability, overemotionality or mental instability. Smear campaigners’ goals are to create mistrust of you, fear of you, and condemnation of you. If they think their audience may not swallow the lie that they have done absolutely nothing to contribute to the matter, they may admit that they have done something very minor, but that your response to it is outrageously unreasonable (or completely incompetent).
Popular lies of the smear campaigner include statements and insinuations that you are mentally ill, incompetent, untrustworthy or unreasonable. The smear campaigner does this so that if your legitimate upset shows, the observer will attribute it to irrationality, ill intent or instability, and not to your normal upset at having been badly mistreated.
Most people who use smear campaigns have several things in common. Next we’ll look at the profile and behaviors of the typical smear campaigner.

Beautifully put. Or should I say HORRIFCALLY TRUE! Ambient abuse, gaslighting and projection are all forms of this. Can anyone see this? The horror that evil ones bring? Guess what? This is an INHERENT TRAIT. These people (psychopaths) don't need to be taught how to do these things, they are BORN knowing how to do this. They also love to brag about their evil deeds, if given the chance. "I,Psychopath - Documentary - [part 8] Extended Version", at the beginning the guy is bragging about how he put another boy into a mental institution. They are never ashamed (MRI's show they don't "feel" shame), and always proud of their behavior.
Another trait psychopaths share is that they want to be adored (worshipped) and to dominate. Many times they get this fix by having others come to them for advice. Check out on youtube the guy from the video "I, psychopath". He has several videos giving advise on narcissism, psychopathy etc. Horror. IF you dare to watch these, mute them and just watch his face. He is pure evil. See, once you KNOW someone is a psychopath, NEVER LISTEN TO THEIR WORDS! (This is if you have no vested interest in them, if you don't HAVE to be involved with them.) It is like listening to the devil himself and you can never trust what they say.
2 Thessalonians 2:4 "He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God" this is refering to the anti-christ but be assured, EACH AND EVERY psychopath is a mini anti-christ (just add water (ha!) or power or groupies). They are ALWAYS against. ALWAYS. It may appear that they are for you or your company or government etc, but it will ALWAYS be because they have something or someone else that they are against. They must have a "platform" to perform from. Ex-wives, ex-girlfriends, are either whores, or the psychopaths somehow saved them and they were ungrateful, on and on. Remember, they are either the heros or the victims at the end of their tales.
"I,Psychopath - Documentary - [part 8] Extended Version" 5 min 33 seconds to 6 min 9 seconds, Dr. Hare sums up quite nicely how we are abused by evil ones.
Do you know where one of the best places for psychopaths to hide is? Behind societal rules. "Looking right" is a great way for psychopaths to gain access to others. There's a weblog written BY A PSYCHOPATH. Keep this in mind if you venture to view it. The title of the one that talks about this is "How we use remorse" pt 1. ("psychopathic writtings" is the blog.)
That "guy" on I, Psychopath? Is none other than fake "Dr" Sam Vaknin... the alleged Narcissism expert. Yes, the very 'expert' who is advising victims of Ns & Ps! Now a diagnosed PSYCHOPATH.
How and why could anyone listen to or read the words of a diagnosed psychopath? ugh.
Thank you Barbara. I don't even like to type his name in. It's like the "he who shall not be named" thing. Plus, he seems like he has the web set up so that each time his name is put in, he's notified. Creepy guy.
Yes, it's kind of a like tightrope walking, wandering in the land of psychopaths. But it's like studying the cults. We need to be aware of what they teach and believe, how they think etc. in order to protect ourselves from them and to insert the truth and to be able to HELP THE VICTIMS of them. 1 Corinthians 14:20 "Dear brothers and sisters, don't be childish in your understanding of these things. Be innocent as babies when it comes to evil, but be mature in understanding matters of this kind."
Another blessing that God has given me through all this. Exodus 9:16 "But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." God is telling Moses what to say to Pharaoh. See, once you have truly seen how completely evil psychopaths are, how there is not one thing good in them, how they are utterly against everyone and everything and that any tiny thing they do is actually ultimately somehow to glorify themselves or gain something for themselves, it lets you see that God is real. That if evil exists, then God exists. How, even though I have been completely devastated in most every way, I'm so grateful to Jesus for opening my eyes to His truth. And what if the destruction of my life was done so that I could write these things down for you, to reach your heart? And what if God so loved YOU, you who are reading this, that he allowed me to go through this, just to reach you? For just one person who is blessed because of this, I'm so grateful. (Gratefullness is yet another gift from God as psychopaths cannot feel this.)
And go on to read the next verse Exodus 9:17"You still set yourself against my people and will not let them go." AGAINST. ding, ding, ding goes the bell, signifing an evil one.
Wow I almost want to insert my real name here. I have been living this real life drama for the past 4 years. It has literally ripped me inside out. Yes raped. Yes daily. Yes insanity. Wow. Wow. Wow. It is vicious. It feel murderous. It feels like a bloody rage directed in a way that if given its own way would murder me in a heinous manner but enjoys the psychological thrill and effect he is causing instead.
Wow, wow, wow. This is my life the past 2 years. Thank you Jesus for showing me this, to know it is real and not my imagination or exaggeration of events. Now what to do with it all?
