Cointelpro creeps and stalker exes do insist on coming back like a bad smell. Whether their job is to destabilize a group or to harass an individual, they share certain goals – to turn individuals against a group, and vice versa. To isolate victims with the clever use of psychology and information warfare. To cut someone out of the herd and run them down in every psychological manner possible.
It’s difficult to fight against this type of psychological warfare at first because it is based on the erosion of trust. One of the first reactions is naturally to overcompensate with a lack of trust. This is when they start calling you “paranoid”. A refusal to put up with very real psychological abuse which is hidden from the rest of the group by opportunism, circumstance and contrivance creates anger and insecurity, which the creeps then focus upon at the group level.
Over the years I have discovered that the best way to deal with hidden and not-so-hidden harassment from these directions IS directly, and without drawing anything or anyone else into the confrontation beyond the lies that the attacker has decided to incorporate. It is certain, as in carved-in-stone kind of certain, that the one aspect of this type of psyop which cannot be hidden is the attack itself. Info-warriors are always good for a thousand words, but their actions (or lack thereof!) NEVER lie.
A simple focus on the way you are being poorly treated by THIS INDIVIDUAL – backhanded compliments, rudeness, blatant lies, concern trolling – completely invalidates their agenda. Never draw others into it except to clearly show where the person’s credibility is in question. It’s tempting to make statements about other people or groups, but it’s important to realize that no matter how much your attacker is trying to speak for those people or those groups – and hopefully force your negative reaction to include them, IT’S NOT ABOUT THEM – it’s ONLY about you and your attacker.
Simple, clear, direct statements to the attacker should be your only response going forward:
YOU are lying to me. YOU are insulting me. I sent a very straightforward and comprehensive answer in good faith to this question the last time you asked it, which YOU completely ignored. YOU are pretending to ask me for help, but you have never once offered any help yourself, or you have devalued anything I’ve done for you in good faith in the past. YOU have gossiped about me. YOU have spread lies and rumors about me. YOU have treated me with a lack of honor and respect.
Not necessarily the group you pretend to represent. Not necessarily the people you pretend to speak for. YOU, yourself, and whatever sock puppets you’re using.
Nothing says “Fuck off, cointelpro stalking scumbag” like this.
By focusing on the extremely poor way the individual is treating you, it completely destroys whatever other false reality they are trying to create.
For example: an attacker can, via a sockpuppet email account, claim to be the CEO of Muckety Muck Corporation and state that he’s had a big come-to-Jesus session with the movers and shakers of Anti-War Group X as he presents his second thinly disguised delivery of condescending schadenfreude at your lack of steady employment, but whose word do you really have for any of that?
It is a waste of time to try to deconstruct these statements unless they can be immediately proven to be lies. What ultimately determines the credibility of a person’s information in the immediate is HOW THEY ARE TREATING YOU. If this IS an attack, then depend upon it – the attack will be part of the equation. Certainly misunderstandings happen, but if a pattern of repetitive problem behavior eventually emerges, dealing directly with it is a response that is reasonable, understandable, and extremely defensible if the resulting drama is somehow brought to the attention of a wider group.
An individual can’t really do anything about groups that have been infiltrated at high levels and/or turned, except move on and continue to act in a manner which gives the lie to what’s being said. People are easy to manipulate, especially these days – and today’s psyop jackasses have raised that manipulation to an art form. However, the one thing you CAN do in your defense is make it very, very clear to these twisted creeps that you are 100% out of the shit-taking business.
Since what they are in is 100% in the shit-GIVING business, this is a bit like firing them. It can be quite cathartic on that level alone. ;-7
