- Beckstead's Preying On You
Please Note: A narcissistic predator like Doug Beckstead will continue to embellish on reality, inorder to gain your praise and attention. He has no real friends as a result of many burnt bridges, instead he has to advertise and enlist the people that he use to know in junior high on sites like 'Facebook', 'Twitter' classmates.com and reunion.com. and many more.
He has also enlisted the odd "old friend" from his chatroom days gone-by. Most of whom he has never met and never has the intention of meeting. Those he wishes to impress and hang onto, to serve his status needs or maybe he just has not gotten around to playing you yet. 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*.
Be warned 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 using you to shore up his belief system, nothing more. It is nothing but a twisted game 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 "you are so special" 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.
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 must serve a need or become disposable.
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. 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.
Remember this was all done just prior to Christmas 2008, well after his exposure. 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. It is yet another compulsion on his behalf, one which normal, rational people don't feel the need to do.
If you Beckstead had nothing to hide why bother to go to such extremes?
Take heed

(A) Narcissistic Personality Disorder: By: KSCheah :
The serial bully displays behaviour congruent with many of the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Characterised by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity and self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy, people with narcissistic personality disorder overestimate their abilities and inflate their accomplishments, often appearing boastful and pretentious, whilst correspondingly underestimating and devaluing the achievements and accomplishments of others.
Often the narcissist will fraudulently claim to have qualifications or experience or affiliations or associations which they don't have or aren't entitled to. 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.
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.
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.
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.
The DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder are:
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, lack of empathy, as indicated by at least five of:
1. a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
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)
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement, i.e. unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
6. is interpersonally exploitative, ie takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy and is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
8. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
(B) Attention-seeking personality disorders, victim syndrome, insecurity and centre of attention behavior
Drama queens, saviors, rescuers, feigners and attention-seekers
The need for attention
Human beings are social creatures and need social interaction, feedback, and validation of their worth. The emotionally mature person doesn't need to go hunting for these; they gain it naturally from their daily life, especially from their work and from stable relationships. Daniel Goleman calls emotional maturity emotional intelligence, or EQ; he believes, and I agree, that EQ is a much better indicator of a person's character and value than intelligence quotient, or IQ.
The emotionally immature person, however, has low levels of self-esteem and self-confidence and consequently feels insecure; to counter these feelings of insecurity they will spend a large proportion of their lives creating situations in which they become the centre of attention. 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.
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.
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. This page lists some of the most common tactics bullies and manipulators employ to gain attention for themselves. An attention-seeker may exhibit several of the methods listed below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A recent & classic example of this Glory-Hunting type of behavior from Doug Beckstead aka 'Dog_Driver' can be viewed below in response to another member @ www.armyairforces.com/.
All attention seeking posts written by Beckstead can be found under Dog_Driver. Of which there are plenty, he adds them on a regular basis to try and cover up the truth. All posts below were spotted recently with the help of our supporters and members (some former victims of Beckstead's) who recently observed Beckstead's "cyber footprints" trawling all over their sites, checking to see if the coast was clear after his long silence. He thinks he can go back to his game playing, predatory ways and all would be forgotten.
However he would be very WRONG. His lack of conscience may have forgotten, but we - his victims - have not. Beckstead can call us "obsessed stalkers" all he likes, but the truth is we are holding him to account. The stalker is HIM, ego-surfing the web chronically and having no remorse or empathy for what he's done to other human beings; like all sociopathic types they figure if its online it's not 'real.'
WRONG again
This is textbook compulsive, narcissistic behavior of a predator, who uses these types of repetetive aren't-I-a-wonderful-interesting-guy story lines as a lure to reel in his next victim(s) of choice. Because as a narcissistic predator, he has no inner "self", Beckstead most probably sniffs around other people's stories and the co-opts them to use with outsiders as HIS OWN. This sort of personal history stealing and absorbing is common & frequent among sociopaths -- in order to build up their images to potential targets.
Beware, because as soon as you are hooked by his "good guy" image then comes the sympathy lure: the forlorned, sob stories - the somebody done somebody wrong song. Only it is projection and lies - all of it. Beckstead has turned his victim's suffering and pain; pain HE inflicted on them -- into his own ('darn I got caught!') to con YOU.
As you can see by this first post below, intellect is not Doug's aka Dog_Drivers forte`.
Well written response, 'Yunch'. We could not have said it better ourselves.

Burgess Merideth (aka "The Penguin" from the Batman TV series and "Mickey" from Rocky I-IV) is the gunner they follow. It is very interesting. I'll have to check my DVDs for the exact title. I think I bought it through Zeno's website or I got in in a collection of WWII DVDs from Costco. Doug Beckstead Historian Anchorage, Alaska |

| Norden Bomb Sight Service and Repair - Wednesday, August 20, 2008 10:17 AM Looking for Bomb Sight Repairmen. I am finding in my research of the B-29 Training Airbases in Kansas some interesting info on the maintenance of the Bombsights. Recently a local Jeweler's shop was sold and in the Jewelers shop, many Norden Bombsight items and paperwork were found. Folk that new him stated he was a civilian bombsight repairman for the local B-29 airbase. This is the second situation I have come across where Civilians worked on these bombsights in this area. I am wondering if the relationship between a jeweler who worked on precision watches in those days would have been an asset to the Army Airforces repair of the sights. Maybe someone out there can add to the maintenance history of these Bombsights. Phillip |

| Re:Norden Bomb Sight Service and Repair - Wednesday, August 20, 2008 11:41 AM I am sure that just like today, there is a huge civilian component to the military. Some of us even deploy alongside the active duty folks. I spent the first four and a half months this year in Iraq.I am curious, what became of all the Norden related materials in the jewelry shop when it was sold? I sure hope you, or someone else with an interest, got it. Doug Beckstead Historian Anchorage, Alaska |

Warning this is a lure, a facade he uses posts like this one, both above and below to con and prey on your trust and possibly get you to admire his knowledge & achievements. (which even member 'Yunch' knows is all B.S.)
It is his pride before your fall. DO NOT believe any of his BS.
We ALL know because after we spoke to each other we realized he pulled the same EXACT tactics on us. As you can clearly witness, his grandiose, self-important rhetoric speaks volumes. This is only the tip of the iceburg.
He has an agenda as do all of our exposed predators, and it all ends up with free cybersex or casual sex as being the main motive, with an added touch of Beckstead reliving his teenage years behind a computer screen, and much more.

Re:Witchcraft's Pilot at MAPS Air Museum
Thursday, August 21, 2008 2:28 PM
Last September I had the pleasure of taking a flight on Witchcraft while it was in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He flew 53 missions over there. Also on board was a man who served as a top turret gunner in the Solomans during the war. The rest of us had to strap in back but the chief took him up to the radio operators seat for takeoff and landing. I had a chance to talk with him during the flight. I'll never forget the grin on his face while we were flying. I could tell he was in a different time and a different place. He had his original log book with him. The pilot borrowed it and filled in, and signed, for his 54th mission that day. That was something to experience, and to share, with a man of his stature.
