The term "gaslighting" has evolved to describe a technique to undermine the perception of reality in order to gain control over someone. The concept originated from the 1944 movie titled, Gaslight. The basic plot of the movie focuses on a husband's deliberate efforts to make his wife doubt her own sanity. He uses what would come to be known as gaslighting techniques; the psychological abuse of making her question her own memory or events to gain control over her.
Why do I deep dive into this subject today? Because gaslighting has been and still is the core tactic wielded against me for a decade now, particularly by the person I refer to as the “cult leader”. I make my point by profiling just one of thousands of examples of the cruel perverting of the actual reality of this person's actions against me... as it defines gaslighting.
The stunning example of gaslighting I use as poster child of my premise would be the cult leader's intensely detailed itemization by date of everything he alleges I ever said about him over the decade and more he has been assaulting me.
He does not include what I am responding to nor that I am responding to his aggressive and shameless horrors....I have had several people tell me when they saw this list, they were horrified because it perfectly demonstrated how long I was being attacked. Yes, the list in its gaslighting fineness defeats itself by its very existence.
It is kind of like David Bret creating a blog to defame the defamation lawsuit I won over him. He could not help himself but defame me just as I allege the cult leader can not help but gaslight.
But his attempt to make me look like the aggressor and he the hapless victim fails magnificently as his list stands as a living monument to the fact I have been defending myself and pissed off at this person with reason for a very very long time. I guess he can now add this entire Subtack note to his manifesto length list because I will not be silent nor will I buy into his textbook gaslighting. I will defend myself.
His attempt to cherry pick and deceitfully present my endless defense and rage at what he does as the aggressor... is gaslighting 100%. He reverses the victim and aggressor roles in an attempt to shift the attention away from his own harmful actions, trying to bait me into proving my innocence instead of focusing on his wrongdoing.
With zero context presented for my reactions to his cruelty, he creates confusion for those who do not know the whole story. By his censoring our very names and books on his public sites, he has created his own echo chamber where members/followers are primed to believe his narrative without question.
Renato always call this abuser, “throw the stone and hide the hand”. This because he attacks, then scrubs all evidence of his wrongdoing, pretending it never happened. This is gaslighting in action. It allows him to maintain an innocent public image while privately orchestrating harm.
He could not possibly believe his own gaslighting. He knows exactly what he and his minions did and continue to do. He has reveled in every moment of his jack booted campaign against me. He has and continues to convince innocent people to hate me beyond reason based on his gaslighting.
To them, as they rattle about in that echo chamber he has created, I say he is the aggressor; always has been, still is and I have no doubt will continue to be. I was responding in every case and was no doubt enraged by what he was subjecting me to.... an insane level of gaslighting.
