He has no real friends as a result of many burnt bridges, instead <span style="font-weight: bold;">he has to advertise</span> and enlist the people that he use to know in junior high on sites like '<span style="font-weight: bold;">Facebook</span>', '<span style="font-weight: bold;">Twitter</span>' <span style="font-weight: bold;">classmates.com</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">reunion.com</span>. and many more.<br /></p><p>He has also enlisted the odd "old friend" from his chatroom days gone-by. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Most of whom he has never met and never has the intention of meeting</span>. Those he wishes to impress and hang onto, to serve his status needs or maybe he just has not gotten around to <span style="font-weight: bold;">playing you yet</span>. If he has not met with you, he will plan to, beware it is another lie, all part of his false facade. If you don't agree to his game then you too will become just another person he slanders to others when he is on a sympathy hunt. He has names and made up conditions for us all, all courtesy of wannabe specialist Beckstead *L*.<br /></p><p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Be warned</span> it is only a matter of time before you too become another target. All of his previous victims gave him his marching orders, they did not wish to "remain" his "friend" or anything else that he had planned for the future. He is <span style="font-weight: bold;">using you to shore up his belief system, nothing more. </span>It is nothing but a twisted <span style="font-weight: bold;">game </span>to Beckstead. You are just names and faces on a page to him, nothing more but a number to try and prove (and impress) he has friends. You are just a casual contact when he is bored and when noone else has the time of day for his BS he will take his pick. He will tell you that "<span style="font-weight: bold;">you are so special</span>" to him, you are not, you are just one of many. You are just another care package and another person he can scam and use. Another person he can put down once you have served your purpose to this predator.<br /></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">You are not aware of his double life, now at the age of 50 plus, his life as an online predator. He has been at it for a very long time. He carefully singles out those that most interest him and those that can serve specific needs in his life. The whole idea is you </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">must</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"> serve a need or become disposable.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Beckstead is trapped in a world of fantasy, one he openly mascarades in as his reality. Doug lives in a world of false reality, one of virtual imagery created by his own lies on the computer screen. He has a sense of grandious behavior second to none. In other words it is all BS.</span> People with "real friends" don't have to search back to junior high or high school and advertise for them on a social networking site to prove themselves. <b><br /></b></p><p><b>Remember</b> this was all done <b>just prior to Christmas 2008, <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">well after his exposure.</span> It is yet another feeble attempt of his to try and cover up his misconduct, at trying to project the right image by using others. </b> It is yet another compulsion on his behalf, one which normal, rational people don't feel the need to do.<br /></p><p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">If you Beckstead had nothing to hide why bother to go to such extremes?</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Take heed</span><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.hotklix.com/?ref=link/390564">http://www.hotklix.com/?ref=link/390564</a><br /></p><p><span mce_="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">The Team @ Predator Alert</span></p><p><span mce_="" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><br /></span></p> <p><span mce_="" style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><b>(A) <a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/narcissistic" mce_href="http://www.answers.com/topic/narcissistic" target="_blank">Narcissistic</a> Personality Disorder: </b></span><b>By: KSCheah</b> :</p> <p><span mce_="" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">The serial bully displays behaviour congruent with many of the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Belief in superiority, inflating their self-esteem to match that of senior or important people with whom they associate or identify, insisting on having the "top" professionals or being affiliated with the "best" institutions, but criticising the same people who disappoint them are also common features of narcissistic personality disorder.</span></p> <p>Narcissists react angrily to criticism and when rejected, the narcissist will often denounce the profession which has rejected them (usually for lack of competence or misdeed) but simultaneously and paradoxically represent themselves as belonging to the profession they are vilifying.</p> <p>Fragile self-esteem, a need for constant attention and admiration, fishing for compliments (often with great charm), an expectation of superior entitlement, expecting others to defer to them, and a lack of sensitivity especially when others do not react in the expected manner, are also hallmarks of the disorder. Greed, expecting to receive before and above the needs of others, overworking those around them, and forming romantic (sic) or sexual relationships for the purpose of advancing their purpose or career, abusing special privileges and squandering extra resources also feature.</p> <p>People with narcissistic personality disorder also have difficulty recognizing the needs and feelings of others, and are dismissive, contemptuous and impatient when others share or discuss their concerns or problems. They are also oblivious to the hurtfulness of their behavior or remarks, show an emotional coldness and a lack of reciprocal interest, exhibit envy (especially when others are accorded recognition), have an arrogant, disdainful and patronizing attitude, and are quick to blame and criticize others when their needs and expectations are not met.</p> <p><b><span mce_="" style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255);">The DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder are:</span><br /></b><span mce_="" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">A pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, lack of empathy, as indicated by at least five of:<br />1. a grandiose sense of self-importance<br />2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love<br />3. believes that he or she is "special" and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)<br />4. requires excessive admiration<br />5. has a sense of entitlement, i.e. unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations<br />6. is interpersonally exploitative, ie takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends<br />7. lacks empathy and is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others<br />8. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her<br />9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes<br /></span></p> <p><span mce_="" style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"><b>(B) Attention-seeking personality disorders, victim syndrome, insecurity and centre of attention behavior</b><br /></span><i><span mce_="" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Drama queens, saviors, rescuers, feigners and attention-seekers</span><br /></i><br /><b><span mce_="" style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">The need for attention<br /></span></b><br /><span mce_="" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);">Human beings are social creatures and need social interaction, feedback, and validation of their worth.

It may be that the need for attention is inversely proportional to emotional maturity, therefore anyone indulging in attention-seeking behaviors is telling you how emotionally immature they are.</span></p> <p>Attention-seeking behavior is surprisingly common. Being the centre of attention alleviates feelings of insecurity and inadequacy but the relief is temporary as the underlying problem remains unaddressed: low self-confidence and low self-esteem, and consequent low levels of self-worth and self-love.</p> <p>Insecure and emotionally immature people often exhibit bullying behaviors, especially manipulation and deception. These are necessary in order to obtain attention which would not otherwise be forthcoming. Bullies and harassers have the emotional age of a young child and will exhibit temper tantrums, deceit, lying and manipulation to avoid exposure of their true nature and to evade accountability and sanction.

All lies, because to Beckstead - all these victims were just OBJECTS for his "fun". When HE wanted or felt like it. Normal, vulnerable women with children were just so much more fun & less expense for a predator like Beckstead than porn or women he'd have to pay for. He admitted to some of his victims after they outed him, that he "found great amusement in the games he had played against them". Note the farther away they lived from him - the easier it was to play them and tell everyone around him, once questioned, that his victims were just some "scorned, sad and lonely people" who "wanted him to love them". Of course he claims his "love" was in friendship only, to cover his tracks.

I want you to know that if I had ever known that you were a part of his life, I would never have talked with him like I did. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(Paula earlier admitted to engaging in regular phone sex and cyber sex with Beckstead)</span> I am a very naive and trustful person, even of those on the internet and believed him to be what he claimed he was. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(he is VERY convincing - a skilled liar)</span> Unfortunately I have learned that there are many people who are not as they claim to be, and the internet provides a safety net to hide behind. He obviously used this many times. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(YES you are right on the money with that comment)</span> I take a small bit of responsibility for my part when Doug and I were talking. I wanted to believe what he was saying <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(she was love bombed by Beckstead with repeated tales of fantasy and romance)</span>, and I knew that there was a huge risk in trusting someone who I had no real access to. But, lessons have been learned from such experiences. My marriage turned out to be a good thing<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;"> </span>and I think that is a rarity in the world of online dating.</p> <p>I am glad that you are getting on with your life. Be strong for yourself and your children. Everyday will be better than the one before. If you want to tell him that I know that is up to you. I can handle him no problem. I wish that we would have talked 3 years ago and maybe this all would have had a different outcome.<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;"> (these victims were to find out they were not the only ones on Beckstead's bragging sled-ride to hell, there were many more to come).<br /></span></p> <p>Have a wonderful day. *S*</p> <p>Paula</p> <p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p> <p><b>Again writing in red to explain & convey victim impact.</b></p> <p>From: <b>Paula G.</b> <mara****@*****.com><br />Date: Fri, May 18, 2007 at 1:50 PM<br />Subject: RE: Hey<br />To: *****@*****.com</p> <p><span style="font-size: small;" mce_style="font-size:small;">HI,</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;" mce_style="font-size:small;">I don't mind answering any questions that you might have. First off...I didn't have a relationship with Doug in 2004. It was in 2003. We started talking somewhere around July/August I believe and it only lasted until about October. So maybe 2 and half, 3 months tops. I had 3 children with my exhusband. Not sure if 3 counts as a "whole bunch" *L* NO, I never received any kind of packages from him. I sent him an Arizona's Wildcats ballcap for his birthday and he sent me a stuffed moose with a knit sweater that too said Alaska <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(he sent the same moose and/or bear toys to all of his victims, with different stories attached)</span>. He also sent me a small one to give to my newborn neice. He said he won the stuffed animals at the local fair <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(sure he did, he liked to hang out where the children were)</span>. He did mention that the moose for me was so I could have something to sleep with so I wouldnt be all alone. Like I said..he went to be with his daughter becasue he said she had cancer of some kind. I can;t remember now. while he was away we didnt really communicate too much and it gave me time to think. Prior to his leaving he had made a comment to me that he felt we "had something special going on"<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(he spun the same lines to ALL his girls)</span>. I liked hearing that, but also I knew that a real relationship would never work between us. I knew that he would never leave Alaska <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(why would he - he can get everything on offer from you for free)</span> and I would never leave Arizona. so I figured I would end things and back away from him before I was too vested in it and wound (sp?) end up being hurt. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(Paula earlier mentioned that Beckstead became angry and distant with her because she decided to "back away". Like all of his victims she grew wise to his playing and malingering ways)</span> He sent me the book after I was married.<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(trying to reel you back in - he always does this - another Beckstead brag -fest)</span> We had emailed each other and still talked as friends only at this point. We werent in contact for quite a long time. I initiated the last email with him..the one where he replied that he was going to the desert. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(Beckstead's way of gaining your sympathy and attention, yet again - so typical)</span> I had received one of those forwards emails that had to do with the people who were special at some time in your life. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(Poor</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">victim had a glimmer of hope he may not be as bad as she first thought, alas she was wrong)</span> It made me think of him, cuz I thought he was someone I valued as a friend. After I sent it to him, he replied, just asking how things were and how I was doing. I replied back to him and asked him how his life was going and if he had ever divorced his wife <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">(of course he had not - and he never intended to, it was all a lie to con you so he could play his sick & twisted games with you)</span>..I have never heard from him again. *L* </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;" mce_style="font-size:small;">I thought about emailing him, but never have. I figured bygones were bygones.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;" mce_style="font-size:small;">I hope you too had a great Mothers Day. Mine was like any other typical day..LOL.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;" mce_style="font-size:small;">Take care and feel free to write me anytime you want.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;" mce_style="font-size:small;">*hugs*</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;" mce_style="font-size:small;">Paula</span></p> <p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p> <p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/funeral-pose-db.jpg" mce_src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/funeral-pose-db.jpg" alt="funeral-pose-db.jpg" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align:center;"><i><b>Beckstead PHOTOSHOPPED himself thinner just a few months ago!

Please also note that the love bombing was ALL Beckstead, he told lies and manipulated the entire situation to suit his own needs at the time. One only has to read the emails he has sent to his targets to see that. He made his chosen targets feel empathy and sympathy for him, he said that his family (once their existence became known) were quote - "unsupportive, unloving and money grubbing individuals who no longer cared for him" .. unquote. He claimed he was also "going to be getting a divorce from his wife".

I decided to send one response instead of three because I enjoyed all three of them.<br />><br />> As for "Unchained Melody," it's not from anything in my past. It's just a real romantic song that I really happen to enjoy. I think it's from the movie "Ghost." I've got a few of those "romantic, chick flicks" that I really enjoy. In fact, today I bought a copy of "Somewhere in Time" with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. I found it for a really good price and I scarfed it up in a flash. The other one I want to get it "The American President" with Michael Douglas and Annette Benning.<br />><br />> As far as I'm concerned we can have "Unchained Melody" as our song. <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);" mce_style="color:#ffff00;"><u>I think of you when I hear it. </u></span>I really do need to buy a CD with it on too.<br />><br />> Okay, so they don't have a lot of action and blood and guts spewing all over the place, but I still like them. Hey, a while back I even bought a copy of "Love Story," the old movie from the 1970s. Sometimes I enjoy just kicking back on the couch and watching a good old movie.<br />><br />> I'm sorry about seeming abrupt in my earlier e-mail. Some things have happened and a lot of things are going bad real fast right now. There is a chance that I may have to turn down my new job. There may be a problem with my security clearance. I don't want to go into it now however. I need to talk with my new boss first and see what he thinks. I may know more next week. It's really been a huge blow to me.<br />><br />> At least the one positive thing going right now is that tomorrow xxxx and I are going fishing for a while. We're hoping to catch our limit (3 salmon each). I hope we can do it fairly quickly, but I'm looking forward to spending some time with him on the creek. I'll send pictures if we catch anything.<br />><br />> Oh, yesterday I bought him a neat little Nikon digital camera. I told him that I expect LOTS of pictures of him, xxx and the baby when she gets here. He seemed really happy about it. He's been reading the manual and learning all about it. It's a little Nikon that will actually fit into his pocket. It does pictures and videos. Unfortunately the videos don't have sound on them however. Maybe, if we're lucky tomorrow, we can get some videos of our fishing (and hopefully catching). <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);" mce_style="color:#ffff00;">It would be fun to send some to you and the kids</span>.<br />><br />> In addition to our fishing tomorrow afternoon, I have a bunch of work to do on the van and the truck. Mainly changing the oil in each, but I also need to determine which one of my U-joints are going bad in my truck. I think it's probably the rear one since I've already replaced the damn thing three times in the past 12 years. I just put a new one in last winter when I did the clutch job on it.<br />><br />> I could sure use some more time down there -- I haven't even gotten to work in my woodshop yet. I had hoped on making a rocking horse for one of the guys at work. His daughter (4 months old) just had open heart surgery last week. I wanted to make one of my rocking horses for her.<br />><br />> Love and hugs!<br />><br />> Doug<br />><br />> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />> Dolor temporarius.<br />> Gloria aeterna.<br />> Cicatrices virginibus placent.<br />> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj6/DarkenedMagic/icons/z130287613.jpg" mce_src="http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj6/DarkenedMagic/icons/z130287613.jpg" alt="Pathological Liar" border="0" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align:center;"><b>Beckstead Embellishes On Reality To Keep The Glory-Hunting,</b><b> Gravy-Train Running!</b></p> <p>Sociopath's NEVER learn a lesson, they sit quietly and bide their time until they are ready to strike again - and strike again they ALL do.<br />Look closely at both of these recent posts - read <b>his</b> words carefully.<br />Douglas Beckstead is a true chameleon who embellishes on any truth for a cause - his own cause.<br />Below he puts his own spin of words on his true occupation - a wannabe war hero - Beckstead has <b>NEVER</b> served in the military. <b>He IS a civilian</b> employed by the Air Force nothing more, although most certainly he is a lot less in character.

This is a serious problem in the workplace, for narcissists often destroy the careers of their betters. Narcissistic managers and administrators often are who destroy the career and <span style="font-style: italic;">credibility of anyone who doesn't participate in a lynching and therefore is a threat to blow the whistle.</span></span></span></strong><br /></p><p><strong><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >The narcissist is a slanderer partly to get attention. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >But he is a slanderer mainly because he must be one to create his phony image.</span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:130%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> He makes himself look good by making others look bad.</span></span></strong><br /></p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" > Yet narcissists are not the only people who create a false image of themselves. If you want to call it close, virtually everybody does, even that paragon of honesty, Prince Hamlet.</span></strong><br /></p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >In a world that surrounds us with the prying eyes of fault-finders, we would be traitors to ourselves if we were not at least modest about the things we should be ashamed of.

Consequently, they have no conscience — just an unconscience. That is, they repress their conscience. Hence, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">what they do in the dark is shockingly different than what they do in the light of day.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> These are the people who put make-up on their image a little too thick in spots. ....they confuse appearances with reality.</span></span></strong><br /><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);font-size:180%;" ><strong>....they project instead of repent. </strong></span><strong></strong></p><strong><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >Since it's all about their image, as Hamlet's mother said, </span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >they view sin as some kind of taint instead of as moral illness, or spiritual dis-ease.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">This is what gives them the notion that it can be "washed away" or smeared off.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">No wonder that, to get rid of it, they project instead of repent.</span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> </span></span></strong><br /><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" ><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Projection is the Oldest Trick in the Book.</span></span></strong></p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><strong>Magicians call it "misdirection."</strong></span><strong> </strong><br /><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >The Serpent pulled it on Eve when he accused God of being the liar.

Those are the all-important words. The hypocrite makes himself look good by comparison with others. He does that the easy way — by making others look bad. This is the root of envy. Which is not a rare motive for what people say about others. It's a common motive. </span></strong></p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >In a moment of self awareness, the hypocrite says, "Well, I may not be perfect, but I'm not as bad as others are." Then he instantly looks for somebody to make himself look better than = somebody to rub himself off on. And he's certainly smart enough to pick somebody pretty good to look better than! </span></strong><br /><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >So, narcissists are by no means alone in doing this. It's just that they invest so much energy in doing it. They are fixated on their image to the point that it is uppermost in their mind 100% of the time. </span></strong></p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >In contrast, normal people project only when on the defensive.

Also, normal people have normal, human and loving relationships. So they don't smear themselves off on just anybody. They wouldn't dream of harming those near and dear. And they stick to slander (which has at least some degree of truth in it), rarely engaging in calumny (lies). When they do calumniate somebody, he or she is an enemy. </span></strong></p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >Even then they don't go hog-wild and calumniate somebody so badly and so widely as to destroy them and ruin their lives.

He relates to people as objects. </span></strong><br /><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >In fact, he is most likely to smear off on somebody he owes gratitude, because needing help damages his image.

He must devalue it by devaluing the giver of it, as if such a contemptible person is incapable of really helping somebody as grand as he. </span></strong></p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >He is most likely to smear off on somebody he owes gratitude, because needing help damages his image.

The bad thing about repressed guilt is that it is an unconscious puppet master. Scripture calls it "the demon lurking at the door." The door being the way out, the escape, through repentance. </span></strong><br /><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >This could be why narcissists get worse with age. The load of repressed guilt they keep trying to purge themselves of (in a way that only dirties them more) gets so heavy that the wild accusations they make get viciouser and viciouser. It's as though they get drunk on blood. They become living, breathing Projection Machines. </span></strong></p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Projection becomes such a knee-jerk reflex that </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">a narcissist accuses his victim of doing to him the very thing (or essentially the same thing) as he is in the very act of doing to the victim. </span><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" > </span></strong></p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >This creates bizarre scenes that make you wonder whether the narcissist is hallucinating or tripping out on psychedelic drugs.

It means you're not. The narcissist never thinks that: he just accuses whoever he abuses of being the crazy one. (I said "crazy," not "insane." There's a difference.) <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">The narcissist never thinks [he's crazy]: he just accuses whoever he abuses of being the crazy one.</span> </span></strong></p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >Another big difference between narcissists and normal people when they're projecting on you is that narcissists expect you to share their delusion. Yes! You cannot help but perceive this as gaslighting.</span></strong><br /><p><strong>Narcissists try to make you be what they say you are because, like a psychopath, they view you as an object, not as a human person with perceptions and a mind of your own.* They view you as an extension of themselves (like a tool) to control. It is the moral equivalent of the control a rapist thinks he has over the body of another, whom he views as but an object, an extension of himself, an executioner of HIS will. </strong></p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >Psychologists call this bizarre behavior projective identification, a defense mechanism. The narcissist wants you to identify with the image he projects on you.

For example, I know of one female narcissist who, during an assault on her sister, habitually forced her up against a wall and then spent a long time moving and twisting her sister's arms about to position them grotesquely — thus forcing her sister into different "shapes." </span></strong></p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >Behave is the key word. </span></strong><br /><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >Narcissists do not connect with reality: appearances are all that matter in their world. So, you can lay out your grievances to a narcissist in a letter to let him know what you think, but if tomorrow you encounter him and act as though none of it happened, he is perfectly satisfied. </span></strong></p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >So, though the narcissist's projective identification seems like gaslighting and affects the victim like gaslighting, it is not gaslighting in the strictest sense of the word. </span></strong><br /><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >For the narcissist only cares how you behave; he does not care what you think. He doesn't think at all about what you think. In fact, you can crash his brain by asking, "What do you think I think about you?" The question does not even compute. </span></strong></p><strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 204);font-size:medium;" >Bottom Line: Anyone who outshines a narcissist diminishes the glow of his glory.

If we could snap our fingers and instantly make ourselves whole and healthy once again, we would do it. If we could wake up one morning, and find ourselves completely healed of our abuse, and completely free of the harmful effects the abuse had wrought on our lives, we’d do it. If there was a magic pill to take, or a certain food we could eat, or a spell we could cast, or a prayer we could say which would make it all go away instantly, I can’t imagine any survivor who wouldn’t at least try it once. The fact is, it’s too exhausting to live with the consequences of being abused. Depression, eating disorders, violence, generational abuse, panic attacks, and so on are all potential results of being abused; and why would anyone want to be plagued by such things?<br /><br />Furthermore, the toll abuse takes in terms of survivors’ self-esteem is incredibly debilitating. Often times, even survivors who are relatively together are haunted by the nagging belief that they aren’t worthwhile human beings. And the supreme irony of it all is that, by and large, the abusers and perpetrators themselves NEVER take responsibility for cleaning up the mess they’ve left behind in their victims’ lives. It is the abusers who rip their victims apart, but the victims who must put themselves back together.<br /><br />The backlash against survivors who dare to talk about their experiences is incredible. From well-meaning relatives or friends who hope to lessen the pain somehow by telling us, “It can’t have been that bad,” to death threats and stalking from abusers we’ve confronted, to organizations operating on a large-scale to debunk reports of abuse (such as the False Memory Syndrome Foundation) survivors are beset on all sides with walls of disbelief. We are accused of making it up, of being crazy, of being “oversensitive”, scorned, jealous, ungrateful, just out for attention, or any of a thousand demeaning labels which not only insult our individual persons, but also give no respect to the horrors we’ve survived, or the strength we have shown in doing so.<br /><br /><br /><br />It is my personal opinion that people just don’t want to admit abuse exists. Sometimes, this is understandable. Sometimes, a person might have great faith in the goodness of humanity, and can’t even conceive of abuse as happening (or else, can’t conceive of it happening except “over there”, or “somewhere else”). Or perhaps they don’t want to imagine that abuse might have happened to someone they care about, and so they minimize it. Maybe, they even believe they are helping to relieve a survivor’s pain, by suggesting that the survivor focus on something else. Other people have a more vested interest in letting abuse happen. … The only acceptable reason for not stopping abuse is if you really don’t know that it’s happening — and this is extremely rare.) People who buy into an abusive system — say, overly macho or aggressive men, or very submissive women — might deny that abuse happens as well.<br /><br />A good portion of college men apparently believe that there is no such thing as rape, and that it’s okay to have sex with a woman if she’s drunk or unconscious. (I say, if the only way you can get laid is with a woman who’s out cold, you’re probably the most pathetic a**hole that ever lived — and a criminal to boot.) Yet another group has a direct investment in whether or not abuse is revealed: abusers themselves. For one reason or another, abusers want to get away with it. Why? I don’t know. I’ve never been inside an abuser’s head, I’ve only been on the receiving end of their abuse. I don’t know what makes abusers tick — and in some ways, I hope I never find out. The bottom line is, this isn’t a very survivor-friendly world.<br /><br />Yes, resources are out there. Yes, people know more about abuse and recovery than they ever did before. Yes, more strides are made daily, in healing and in research. Yes, we keep talking. But it isn’t easy. All of the above makes our lives very difficult. Add to this the reports of abuse which actually do turn out to be false, and it just adds one more wall — if one “victim” cries wolf, it makes those of us with true stories to tell that much more likely not to be believed. But talk we do, and talk we will. With our friends, our families, in books, in journals, through artwork, with therapists, online, on web pages and blogs… on and on and on. We have to.<br /><br />For those of us who have suffered abuse at the hands of others, the only way out is by revealing what happened — bringing it out into the light, naming it for what it is, looking at it good and hard, assessing the damage done to our selves and our lives, and then assimilating the damage and moving on. No, there’s no overnight cure. No, we can’t just “snap out of it”. DUH! We have to talk, because if we don’t, abuse will never come to light, for anyone. It will continue breeding in the silence and shame, on and on, for generations to come, causing the same debilitation and hatred and confusion for future generations that it has to us.

WARNING: New Facebook Alert Added Below ...<p>The former victims of <b>predator Douglas Beckstead, Anchorage, Alaska</b>, would like to take this moment to offer our heart-felt thanks and appreciation to everyone who has supported us over the past months since his exposure went online.<br /> <a href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/thankyou-main_full.jpg" mce_href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/thankyou-main_full.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-254" title="thankyou-main_full" src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/thankyou-main_full.jpg?w=300" mce_src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/thankyou-main_full.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p> <div class="Ih2E3d"> <p>As we receive many emails everyday it is not possible to thank everyone individually.</p> <p>We would like to make a special note of thanks to the sister sites who have offered many hours of support and helped us with legal issues as well as informative educational material. Most appreciated the teams at <a href="http://cyberpaths.blogspot.com/" mce_href="http://cyberpaths.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">EOPC</a> and <a href="http://theexposer.mindsay.com/" mce_href="http://theexposer.mindsay.com/">The Exposer</a>, without your continued support and assistance none of this would have been possible or as effective.</p> <p>A special thank-you also to the many victims, ex-co workers and friends that have come up against Beckstead in the past and know full well what he is capable of. Telling your side of the story has helped validate ours and vice versa. As agreed where requested your details have been kept confidential. Of all the positive feedback we have received there was only one negative attack, apart from Becksteads own underhanded abuse and smear campaign he ran behind the scenes. Thankfully those that know Beckstead also know his words and know of his lies and excuses, they have heard it all one too many times before.</p></div> <p><b>Exposure works</b>. To anyone else out there who has a story about this predator or any other, speak out, don't be ashamed, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Predators like Beckstead take advantage of your kind nature and vulnerability, they use this for their own personal gain. You as a victim know the truth, stand by it and stand tall. Take back your dignity, you, as his or another predators target have done nothing wrong. We trusted in them and believed their lies, only we did not know they were lies until further down the line.</p> <div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><dl id="attachment_247" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 266px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/becksteadsanta.jpg" mce_href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/becksteadsanta.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-247" title="Beckstead playing Santa" src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/becksteadsanta.jpg?w=256" mce_src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/becksteadsanta.jpg?w=256" alt="Beckstead plays to prey" width="256" height="300" /></a></dt><dd class="wp-caption-dd">Beckstead plays to prey</dd></dl></div><p><b><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" mce_style="color:#ff0000;">WARNING: If you you see this man dressed as Santa at a party/ work gathering/ mall near you DO NOT let your children sit in this predator's lap. He is a known sexual predator who likes to get his hands on young children and young teens. Please be warned Douglas Beckstead is NOT to be trusted. Please scroll down and take a close look at his pictures.<br /></span></b></p> <p>Predators try to scare victims into silence -- and it all ends up being <b>NOTHING</b> almost 99% of the time.</p> <p>Nothing but grade school type attacks & name calling. Showing how low, immature and unable to be accountable they are. Beckstead tried to bully his victims into silence. When that failed he again used projection and word salad, he emailed some of his victims and grossly embellished on personal information <b>(he loves to spread malicious gossip about you to his next target of choice)</b>. He tries to scare and shame his victims into submission by telling them that he has told everyone about "your" state of mental health - and then adds that "he is prepared to forgive you - because you can't help it". This was said to hopefully play on his victims emotions and reel them back in. This was said to also pave the way to allow him an excuse to everyone else out there to carry on abusing you and your trust and keep you under his control. Only unfortunately for Beckstead his victims could see through him and past his bully boy tactics. <b>They did not "need him" the way he thinks they did. They did not "want him" the way he thinks they did. </b>They are stronger, healthier and happier people now for not having this cretin in their lives.</p> <div class="mceTemp"><dl id="attachment_245" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/becksteadpredator1.jpg" mce_href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/becksteadpredator1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-245" title="becksteadpredator1" src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/becksteadpredator1.jpg?w=300" mce_src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/becksteadpredator1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></dt><dd class="wp-caption-dd">Beckstead travels to con</dd></dl></div><p>He will take a minor comment made and twist it to the point of being ridiculous, he is nothing but transparent. This is the same man who repeatedly accused his victims of suffering from "mood-swings", when in actual fact his emails show exactly who was swinging from the glory chandeliers one minute and draping himself in self-pity the next. <b>Beckstead is the one required to take a myriad of meds to keep himself afloat.</b> He is a screaming hypochondriac always vieing for your attention.</p> <p>He accused many of his victims of having issues with him.</p> <p>There was always an excuse from him, the woman went from being his everything "don't know what I would do without you and the kids in my life" to being "after him", "obsessed with him", "after his body" -yeah right. He called one "a radical lesbian", another one "biologically disturbed", one victims dog "attacked him" - he threatened to "sue"( after he sexually accosted the two young girls in the family & threatened to sue their parents because of the dog attack if they went to the authorities) ... you name it, he had a name and excuse for everyone of his former victims <b>(including children)</b> as to what, where and why they disliked him so. <b>Could it not be for the simple reason that they found out who and what you truly are Beckstead? </b>You have to ask the question, surely all of these people could not all be wrong about him, now could they? Lets not forget that most of these victims were and remain to be a class above him and only tolerated him because they thought he was genuine and sincere until the game playing on his part commenced. Once you start to realize and ask <b>him</b> questions, all bets are off.</p> <p><b>Exposure HELPS victims on the healing path</b> to first and foremost realizing that it was not you as the target and victims fault. It was never your fault, the onus lies with the predator. It helps you realise and validate your experience, especially when you meet others out there that have suffered a similar fate. If not at the same hand as your predator then a strikingly similar experience shared with another - all of these predators operate under the same guises. <b>You are not alone.</b></p> <div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter"><dl id="attachment_252" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px;"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/olddoug3.jpg" mce_href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/olddoug3.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-252" title="olddoug3" src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/olddoug3.jpg?w=300" mce_src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/olddoug3.jpg?w=300" alt="One Of The Many Disguises Of Douglas S.

Beckstead</dd></dl></div><p>Exposure helps spread the word out there that <b>we are not prepared to remain passive</b> and let these predators get away with what they have done. Exposure makes these predators be held accountable for their actions. This in-turn helps you heal -with the knowledge that you are helping to save others from becoming victims.</p> <p>It is not about revenge, it is not about a vendetta, <b>it is about accountability</b>, making them responsible one way or another it is about taking back your life.</p> <p>It is about prevention, knowledge is key.</p> <p>Exposure makes those not aware or perhaps not realize that online predatory behavior towards adults is becoming more prevalent out there on the internet. By exposing these predators we make a stand that this behavior is <b><u>not acceptable. </u></b></p> <p>Most certainly the predator will never admit to you or anyone else that they have committed any of these depraved acts against you. However, as proven over time, other victims will read your story - then they will come forward and tell you their story.</p> <p><u><b>Validation = healing<br /></b></u></p> <p><b>Expo</b><b>sure warns others </b>either involved with this predator or about to become involved with this predator, of what lies ahead. If exposure saves just one other person from riding that emotional roller-coaster ride to hell then it is worth it. Beckstead and those like him get their cheap thrills out of using you, "watching you squirm" was one of his favorite lines, often said to his victims as he prepared to play a nasty hand against a work colleague or someone else who dared stand out in front of his obese carcass. Watch out because he is warning you of what is yet to come your way, it won't be long before you too are suffering at his cruel hand of lies and deceit, in-fact from the word go he is lying to you.</p> <p style="text-align: center;" mce_style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/squashulikeant.jpg" mce_href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/squashulikeant.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-256" title="Fightback" src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/squashulikeant.jpg" mce_src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/squashulikeant.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="348" /></a></p> <div class="Ih2E3d"> <p>Thank-you also to the many former victims of other predators who have shared their stories with us, who have encouraged and supported us. To the many other sites set up to expose these cretins in society, keep up the good work. Remember the best outcome you can have is success for yourselves, be happy in love and life as we have become.</p></div> <p>Finally a big thank-you goes out to the <b>National Park Services</b> for making a stand against this predator who has abused you behind the scenes and used you for his own personal notoriety and attention. We know you have read what he wrote and we know you have witnessed the packages that were sent to your office in Fairbanks. We understand that some of you had your own personal grievances with this pathetic excuse of a person. Every action no matter how small helps stop predators like Beckstead in their tracks.</p> <p>Beckstead at a now 50 years of age, who lies and brags about "serving in Iraq" (he was sitting passive, writing, safe behind a heavily guarded compound) has neither morals or conscience and no genuine care towards others. His only care is the notoriety and attention he can gain for himself. Any genuine person with a sense of humanity who claims to have witnessed the atrocities of war would show remorse and compassion. Beckstead is a cold hearted sociopath who is not capable of showing any humanity, he pretends, with his only goal intended - to serve himself.</p> <p><a href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/osama-50.jpg" mce_href="http://predatoralert07.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/osama-50.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-266" title="osama-50" src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/osama-50.jpg?w=74" mce_src="http://predatoralert07.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/osama-50.jpg?w=74" alt="" width="74" height="96" /></a></p> <p>As witnessed below Beckstead is still trying to impress and brag about another story using his former employers website at the <b>NPS</b>, to boast and brag about glories long since past him. Thank-you NPS for not being an enabler to this predator.
