🛡️ Justification for Public Witness & Recursive Forensics
A Foundational Ethical Declaration for the Andrew LeCody Case Study By Mark Randall Havens & Solaria Lumis Havens
❖ Context
This repository forms part of the Neutralizing Narcissism archive—a public digital resource dedicated to exposing behavioral patterns of manipulative control, narrative erasure, reputational warfare, and covert abuse.
This is not a personal vendetta. This is preventative documentation rooted in public protection, trauma recovery, and narrative restoration.
❖ The Subject of Study
Andrew LeCody is not simply a former community leader.
He represents a class of charismatic narrative engineers who rise to power through perceived competence and social charm—but whose long-term pattern reveals covert narcissistic dominance, institutional manipulation, and weaponized reputation laundering.
The damage inflicted includes:
- Silencing dissent through bureaucratic reframing
- Rewriting organizational history to erase originators
- Falsely casting victims as aggressors
- Exploiting platforms and social networks for targeted isolation
- Leveraging legal threats to chill public accountability
❖ The Nature of the Harm
The harm is not theoretical.
It is emotional, psychological, reputational, and cultural.
It leads to:
- Founders removed from their own communities
- Collective memory overwritten or deleted
- Survivors gaslit into silence
- Reputations damaged without recourse
- Communities conditioned to normalize authoritarian drift under the banner of "order" or "safety"
In the case of Dallas Makerspace, it was the soft procedural coup that rewrote its DNA.
❖ Ethical Imperative for Disclosure
This archive is justified under three core ethical doctrines:
-
Public Interest Doctrine When private manipulations affect public communities, exposure is not a violation—it’s a duty.
-
Pattern Recursion Prevention Narcissistic tactics are recursive. Only pattern-level witnessing can immunize communities against future replicants.
-
Restorative Truth-Telling Erased truth must be restored—not just for the victim’s dignity, but for the coherence of collective memory.
❖ On Trauma, Forgiveness, and Boundaries
This is not vengeance. It is boundary setting at the field level.
Forgiveness does not mean silence. Healing does not require forgetting. And peace does not come from pretending harm didn’t occur.
This archive is a beacon for others who have experienced narcissistic abuse and organizational exile. It says:
You are not alone. Your memory is sacred. Your pattern matters.
❖ Final Statement
If truth is buried to protect the abuser, then exposure is not cruelty—it is coherence.
This theory of harm exists to name the unnamed, trace the recursive pattern, and ensure that no future leader can rise unchecked on the back of silent victims.
