The Role of Flying Monkeys in Domestic Abuse
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.
An overreaction to the truth, facts and patterns means something wants to be hidden and not attached to the false self-construct and facades which would damage the public image. Attempting to control people, enforcing guilt by manipulating their self-esteem and perception, and keeping hands clean are all hallmarks of a deceptive manipulator (childhood) who sees people as objects (not admitting, charming with no empathy) and uses emotional drama to create distance from their actions. Paranoia.

Emotional or physical abuse is for the authorities along with other acts a narcissistic person may do without awareness of cause and effect, deceitful and manipulative to gain funds, coercive control, and not respecting boundaries or protecting as a caregiver etc. The list linked to missing empathy and an affected development stage can be seen in compensating behaviour, activation, inducing injury, not having people agree with fantasy or facade, questioning, the inner self is a mess, they can break their relationships with the controlling behaviour goes to far, marriages become empty and create actions on others without a second through.
Boundaries are required to distance from a flawed perception and self-serving needs at the expense of others. A personality disorder lacks accountability, unable to see they are the source of the drama around them. The childhood follows and projects.

Smear is a large-scale version of gaslighting. When the gaslighting stops working… the experiences from an undeveloped childhood create tactics without empathy and fear the false self-construct will be questioned further.
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.

EWL - Emotional and Psychological Abuse
Studying human behaviour with balance and consideration and then a lack of balance and empathy, there are two approaches to truth and facts and self-awareness. One person can embrace while the other fears exposure and wants the false self-construct to remain clean with stigma or the idea of guilt and shame is too much.
True or False: Acting deceptively or abusively without consideration for cause and effect is an offence. Any acting partners with or through in structuring inducing guilt or depressing truth and fact are charged the same way as the core disruptor.
The saying “the lie inside will eat you alive”. Projecting on to others comes from not being able to process truth in childhood, can be due to the truth not being good. The filter may stay and good truths are ignored in adulthood.
If a person is smearing, it’s to lower the truth and facts they cannot process and want to be accosted with. Undiagnosed personality disorders tend to smear and gossip to keep the focus elsewhere.
Irreversible damage and love bombing are linked to a lack of empathy for others and detachment from the self. Again the disorder trying to avoid accountability isn’t hiding its exposing be simply trying to gaslight themselves and others.
Truth and fact have a risk of guilt and shame if something needs to be hidden… if something doesn’t need to be hidden then the truth is welcome… smear is harmful, but maybe living in the mind of a smearing person would be much worse…the processing must cause harm to their own relationships and life in some way if they are capable of smearing others…
Not everyone is an adult in an adult’s body… that research direction will sign off many new perceptions that are worth knowing…. age is not linked to emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
From the data and research, there are a number of ways how to deal with a disruptive/corrupt/controlling/emotionally abusive/fraudulent personality disorder smear campaign. Knowing the truth is like garlic to a vampire and there is a ‘fit the narrative’ filter happening… keep all evidence in writing and always have professional advice to hand.
Usually, a person with a personality disorder fears exposure. It already starting to suppress in some form…the same thinking from childhood, and they cannot let go of the control they have in adulthood over the false self construct. Triggers and a backlog of lies or deception will be bursting under the floorboards, the inspiration to smear comes from the worst fear.
Solution 1: Allow the smear to happen to prove it can happen. Allow irreversible damage to change the landscape which suggests missing empathy for others. In the corrupt emotionally triggered mind, something needs to be hidden in the short term fast, pull everything down. But, they will need to keep up the negative actions which will add more pressure to the facade. Others will be hired to share the load, flying monkeys try and push guilt for expressing truth, they have no idea of truth with a low self-esteem and traits so expect some strange to happen… influence. Drama… emotional deregulation and the past will be right behind the eyes causing narcissistic injury… the residue adds to thoughts and will exist in other areas of the narcissistic person’s thoughts and life. A balanced person or a negative person is still human, they cannot escape the effect they have on themselves before they harm others for a second third or fourth time.
All actions are evidence: In public cases, the slander and defamation charges expose the core issues and who is creating the negative actions. If people lie in court they are given a second problem so actions and statements must match up or the manipulator will be exposed for being delusional and detached as well as harmful to others. In one case between an actor and another, the smear campaign was damaging, it should many can’t see something that is not balanced on the inside and want to vent their earlier issues with projection. I don’t think leaving a mess in a bed was a good idea… but it did show a lack of respect for boundaries. Between an actor and a comedian, the disruptive person broke the facade, the mask slipped and the public image was left in pieces. What was seen was faux reasoning and faux accountability with micro-expressions not seen at first. The lesson is that childhood plays a huge part in development, and so does a person's growth and awareness.
Solution 2: Induce narcissistic injury with strong boundaries and a truth mirror to expose the lack of accountability, emotional abuse, self-awareness and the hidden disorder, document the smear campaign as secondary evidence and then have them reported to the authorities, list charges first and secondary evidence so they are questioned about their patterned behaviour and have to speak under oath. Failure to tell the truth creates a second offence.
Solution 3: No Contact. They may try and stay in the circle they shouldn’t, another sign of not seeing boundaries and the control issues hidden will appear as something else ‘who me’. Having no narcissistic supply will trigger love bombing, the most contradictory action of a person with an undiagnosed personality disorder. They can’t love other people so the love bomb is seen as something different to those who are aware of the meaning behind the words. Closure can come in small texts, gaslighting, flying monkeys, denial and detachment. This means that what is unhealthy for one doesn't need to be unhealthy for two. There are 8 billion on the planet, 4 to 6% are not going to get it… it doesn’t mean everyone has to go along with a facade… a manipulative person was made in childhood, it’s the adult world now.
Sign off: As harmful as a control manipulative person smear campaign can be, the world is now starting to see the actions within the patterned behaviour are linked to something… the knowledge is out there. They only person a manipulative person should blame is their parents… they may of started it.. according to the data going back 40,000 years.
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.

The discussion may require further education to document: (More a social or home, plagues the schoolyard and may stick in adult life, bad role-modelling, conditioning of how undeveloped minds think of ways to control others.)
Direct and Indirect forms of abuse, how to spot the history when matters change tactics to smear and deflect onto others, or a professional victim card appears.
Test Question - Smear, what is it and why does it happen in childhood, families, schools, places of work, going undetected? What is its design, and why is it a secondary sign of something more harmful?
It is important to realise when playing catch up to matters of concern that smear is secondary, not primary (an extension of gaslighting). Smear can occur as a tool used after the direct damage/gaslighting/various forms of emotional or physical abuse have been employed over time with mixed aggression, so the questionable behaviour continues undetected without training or education to spot the signs.
Smear - Using in-direct methods linked to control issues to extend guilt or shame onto someone with emotional abuse/pressure can be an indicator of deceptive high-functioning behaviour appearing in the secondary evidence in the abuse timeline.
True or False: The full definition is a narcissistic smear. The internal mechanism operates externally, showing a lack of empathy for others, an internally damaged feedback loop, control issues, avoiding processing and accountability, blameshifting to damage truth and facts to continue with a mask/stimulation and gaslight through others when the target/victim chose not to accept a personality disorder (unusually undiagnosed) or continue deception or self-deception.
A hurt person hurts other people to avoid a lie/action, or behaviour. Guilt and shame are put on to others as the child's mind inside the adult cannot process reality with balance or the perception of others. The carefully crafted false self-construct inside a facade built over time from childhood experiences of abuse or no accountability or both.
Fantasy, triggers and abuse behind closed doors, sometimes in public. High functioning is harder to spot.
The giveaway is simple: Using others while those ‘others’ are unable to go beyond face value, impressional or harmful as well. Exposure on numerous accounts while the ‘others’ extend and become an abusers while the core negative disruptor tries to stay clean.
Further secondary evidence linking to the coverup of primary evidence… a reaction to ‘fear of exposure’, reacting to something, not reacting to ‘nothing’.
More than one narcissistic person will expose themselves, and more than one unbiased personality disorder will expose themselves. Not every adult has an adult mind due to childhood development. A Professional victim can be present as a tool… the child is still present. They will harm their own children’s growth, and so the cycle continues.
Test question response - If marked wrong even after presenting key markers, review the Smear or Flying Monkeys web pages, then seek advice locally or call 101 or 999 or 911 (US). The confusion a person might be experiencing has a design to do just that, confuse…so the victim cannot see who is causing harm over time. The outcome is harming a person’s mental health over time.
Gaslighting has a design and has an agenda to go undetected (linked to an abusive person’s masked/damaged ‘for the narrative perception), a stimulating game to one person with mixed aggressive behaviour… very harmful to another if not safeguarded.
The unfortunate experience is linked to an undiagnosed disorder is trying to influence others at any cost with detachment and control issues (assuming they own someone else’s perception, their parent did it to them, for example, learned). Remove Truth Bias (many grow up assuming with a positive comparison).
They will go on to harm networks, another giveaway that something is unstable/damaging/without processing of the self or accountability enabled… a masked internal thinking system/equation will go on to abuse for control indirectly to equally harmful as direct abuse. In many ways, it is the extension that is learned, used and once felt so projection on to others is a way of making others feel the same hurt; what inspires can be all the lies right behind the eyes. An abuser can claim the things they do are what the victim is doing to them. A lack of imagination and what is in thought is what is used, a key giveaway to a lack of emotional intelligence and future development.
True of False: To maintain control of a lie/action or a facade, the disruptor assumes what they do is acceptable in their eyes as their eye learned what they use from a bad role model.
Covert types may internalise, overt may broadcast more often, the internal processing without empathy activated is the same, a feedback loop blocking awarness, bully victim cycle:
