Flying Monkeys
Summary: A lot of study on this subject, a request. Can flying monkeys be charged for their actions that are instructed by a deceptive person? Yes. Who hires flying monkeys, a trickster, emotional abuser, a grandiose view over others, undiagnosed personality disorder linked to childhood, fraud, prosocial issues, transactional relationships masked, fear of exposure, the bigger the lie the bigger the smear.

The Role of Flying Monkeys in Domestic Abuse (legal terms listed below)
Flying monkeys in the context of domestic abuse play various roles, all of which serve to reinforce the abuser’s control and manipulation:
Spread Disinformation: They may spread lies and rumours about the victim, often echoing the narcissist’s narrative to discredit and isolate the victim further.
Harassment and Intimidation: Flying monkeys can also engage in direct harassment, sending messages or making calls on behalf of the abuser, serving to intimidate and control the victim.
Spying and Reporting Back: In some cases, they act as the eyes and ears of the abuser, reporting back on the victim’s activities and state of mind.
Enabling Denial: Their actions can provide the abuser with plausible deniability, as the abuser can claim they are not directly responsible for the actions of others.
True or False: The inversion - A manipulative person exposes themselves, doubling down when others step back.
True or False: Biases appear through fear of accountability, hiding rather than processing due to not really knowing right from wrong, only the emotions felt from shame. Confused by the masked disorder with affected prosocial skills and missing empathy. If an adult cannot process accountability and tries to hide and use others, it’s a red flag.
The deceptive mind does not process accountability and blames the victim through others to cover up… gather all evidence then shoot it down. Short-term thinking shows how little they care for the connections… it is about them hiding at any expense, and the flying monkeys usually have a history no one should know about either… investigate the methods of cover-up, find the core disruptor; its the same patterned behaviour, same thinking equation… textbook actions due to the unhealthy manipulative coward hiding behind others…and the cant see account ability because hiding the truth is all they think about.
Daft enough to be used or get their hands dirty while someone else watches… both the deceptive person and the extension of the deceptive actions are chargeable. Harm created in the primary evidence, harm created in the secondary evidence is known the the ‘cover-up’, it is all the same and all connected. Look for the secondary evidence triggered by ‘fear of exposure’ and the detachment that does not care for the flying monkeys. Covering up is complex, decades of manipulation means shame to the public image.
Why do narcissists send Flying Monkeys? To enforce guilt without getting their hands dirty, a core action is not procesed, only their own injury from being challenged. Red flag.
True or False: Fear of truth creates targeting, trying to remove truth from a ‘fit the narrative’ perception of the facade surrounding the undiagnosed disorder. The child's mind is still present in the transactional relationships that should fit to prevent triggers and feedback.

“Image is everything, no boundaries, control issues, secret keeping, hide fraud and abuse.”
True or False: People who wear masks also need to be aware (if possible due to bottlenecking their own perception) about those who wear the ‘mask of sanity’. A deeper issue from childhood that has fuel for irreversible damage via others. (This one is key to understanding flying monkeys)
Usually, a narcissistic cycle is triggered by accident or on purpose to expose; the supply cut off to watch the reaction, control isn’t felt to be working as people ask questions when before they didn’t, challenged on the past and choices, fear of exposure is coming so the truth tellers need to be lowered by discrimination.
Over time, people become aware that patterned behaviour exists for a reason. There are only so many fake heart troubles, reasons for scamming finances, and hiding covert passive aggression; the facade will fill up with lies after a certain age.
True or False: Followers have been choosing over the years, conditioned to believe the false self-construct; some people are prone to believing the face value of a drama and self-esteem manipulated. Jimmy Savile did it to a nation while he had 400 victims with charm and charity… the victim card is low; many would never think twice that someone would actually do it.
If someone is setting a trap for the manipulator, do not be a flying monkey; not only are you being used as a shield and a pawn to induce guilt, you could get into a lot of trouble in the same way as the manipulator, and they may drop you right in it.
The bigger the bag of lies hidden under the floorboards, the longer the covert manipulation has continued or how coercive the control issues actually are, the bigger the smear… fear of exposure doesn’t come from anything… the lies are right behind the eyes; causing triggers…it comes from guilt and shame needing to be pushed away before the truth is out.
The manipulative, narcissistic person has had a personality split from childhood; they have been faking for a long time; the lack of empathy for others mixed with their worst nightmare, ‘being found out’ is what inspires them to smear and blame shift. The fantasy issues in childhood are still present… a love bomb may follow on a day targeted with the purpose of erasing a reality along with witnessed gaslighting, red flag.
True or False: There is a narcissistic cycle to learn.

Balanced systems may never consider the actions of a false self-construct and what happens behind the mask, such as someone using a victim card to try to destroy anything to cover up the truth—red flag.
Anyone smart enough should see a lack of empathy for others in actions and see anyone as a conflicting target inside the facade… look at the core issues: what is someone hiding from the conversation? How does the person want others to behave around them? Have they been challenged and feel threatened? Victims behave differently; learn the difference.
True or False: A smear and flying monkey have three purposes.
Answer: 1. Hide something shocking; the shame is too much to bear. 2. Step back and use others to induce guilt, wanting hands clean. 3. Expose undiagnosed personality disorders and triggers from people who fear exposure but end up exposing themselves.
Easily influences people to have their self-esteem affected and an image projected onto their imagination, influencing with a trauma bond. Those who can learn will learn. Some may not see they are easily manipulated by a person's personality disorder created in childhood. A fact of life: not everyone can see something. Once the trigger and truth are not felt, they may try really hard to cover up by using others down, red flag, a lack of empathy for others always exposes it self to educated people with a moral code.
Also, look for the one who needs control, have deep insecurity, blame others, talk about others when they are not present with a certain tone or unhealthy comparison to feeling a little bit above, speak without processing themselves, have conflicting behaviour, the public sees one image, and behind closed doors is another. A certain type of humour to body language, creating drama, needing other people’s empathy and eyes on them to be topped up… the changes are that they are not doing what others might assume.
Psychology Today - How to Handle a Manipulator When They Don’t Get Their Way
A manipulator will most likely have a facade and public image to protect. You won’t see how much the require a public perception of them and it is years of work.
Someone is not hiding 'nothing'; they are hiding something.
Learn the core of what all the drama actually is, how big to they want to go, how many people, it’s a big lie.
Going to great lengths to build an army in their minds is the only way to hide, hide what?
If the relationship can flip so quickly, it’s a red flag, the will have always been manipulating, it’s now on the surface. Supply.
If asked to be used as a flying monkey, what should you do? To flip one of their old tricks, “imagine it is you” when they want your emotions to be put in their position… very naughty… instead of being the one they want to take down indirectly. People with personality disorders are trying to cover up so much ill thinking they can use simple short-term tricks for control or guilt-tripping and the flying monkeys get the charges first. So step back, watch the reaction to see if you are doubled down on, that’s not healthy.
Never do something on behalf of someone without knowing all the facts. It goes without saying.
Manipulators have been manipulating uneducated people around them for a long time; they will have marked who can be used at a later date well before 'fear of exposure' is felt. The may know people won’t question if the victim card is used.
Step back and observe with the right questions, such as "Why don't you speak directly or ask a qualified behaviour professional to discuss the facts or task the authorities to handle it?" You may find the smear may get out of hand, and the delusional person will feel pressure; they just want uneducated people to do the dirty work.
Blaming the victim has been in the press, court cases exposing the traits and malignant types who blame shift while covering up who they really are. Over time, watch the approach. Always speak to a professional until educated to know when to say 'no'.
Sign off - Gossip and smear campaigns have hidden purposes; ensure your perception goes beyond face value. Blameshifting, no accountability, victim card, emotional abuse, manipulation, fraud, chipping and poking, I'm the hurt one are all linked and require time with a professional not enabling... it will only make matters worse and delude the person even further.
True or False: Truth, triggers and actions, pay attention to the deflection and blameshift. There are more deceptive actions hiding to cause fear of exposure. A lack of accountability is at play at the expense and use of others. Transaction with control issues needing to suppress any means necessary. An action to something, not a reaction to nothing. Hurt deceptive people hurt others in a very particular way... it's all been documented in the pattern of deceptive behaviour hiding in the mind and facade.
