Social Engineering


 How do I know Don Stovner Socially Engineered you?

Because in the Summer of 2007, the Ted Whiting, the Director of Surveillance for The Mirage and the Business Sponsor for the CityCenter Build (the MGM Mirage properties) asked me if I had ever been to Cozumel Mexico. I wondered at the time why a Director of the Company would be so interested in a Vacation I took nearly 16 years before I was an employee at MGM Mirage. I did not correct the Ted or clarify my reply, I simply said yes, I had been there.

Within a few weeks of that conversation with the Director, I spotted a Doppelmayr van following me home from work. I never saw City Center related vehicles out on Boulder Highway.  After changing out of my work clothes and heading off to the Dog Park, I spotted him again, this time right behind me in the left hand turn lane. I looked in my rearview mirror and when the light changed I waved to him in the mirror. As we turned the corner, he sped past me and away he went as fast as the van could take him. I never saw a Doppelmayr van in my neighborhood again. I spent the next few weekends and evenings cruising around my neighborhood and surrounding developments looking for that van - it just wasn't there.


At one of my one-on-one meetings with Ted, I mentioned that my Stalker had found me, and that there were signs he was in Las Vegas.

Almost exactly one year later, I was standing in the NOC at the Wynn when an Applications Analyst (either Angela or Linda I can't remember which) asked me the very same question: Had I ever been to Cozumel Mexico. This time however, I did correct the her and said that I had been on a Day Trip to Cozumel while on Vacation in Mexico.  I had no idea it was Don Stovner, but my suspicion that who ever Stalker Boy was, he was close and had been close for a year.

You underestimated me. 

What you didn’t count on was my reaction. You felt so safe in the knowledge that no laws were being broken. And you were right, until New York State convicted a Cop for the very same behavior. I guess you better hope Law Enforcement isn’t watching this blog.

Now remember what he told you about that Conference Call way back in 2007. 
He never made physical contact with me - only a Conference Call. 
Think it through - you facilitated a Stalker. 
He socially engineered the situation to make you believe there was a pre-existing relationship between us.

Now, 4 years later you are finding out that wasn't true. Don Stovner lied to you.

The Progression of Lies

This is the Don Stovner I met at the Wynn in June 2008 and then worked with from June 2009 through January 2010.  This is the man who, after my troubles with the Applications Analyst on the Food & Beverage Team at the Wynn, caused me the most problems with Network Engineering Projects. The photo at the left was taken in mid July 2009, while we both worked for Clearwire in Las Vegas, at a weekday lunch break from our projects.  Don made an effort to reconcile the events at the Wynn and to amend our professional relationship.  We did not work in the same departments or for the same management.  We had no reason to interact while at work other than to go to lunch. It should be noted, that had the Wynn IT shop been more professional, had they employed proper management of their staff, the affair between Don & I would have started in 2008 when he went to the Wynn, during the period he sent his wife to Russia the late Summer and Early Fall of 2008.  However, because I had seen

Embracing Creepy

Embracing Creepy Stalking is just plain creepy.  It just is.  A weird guy who takes an interest in a woman he’s never met, a girl who has no idea he even exists.  Sometimes it starts with “Blog Stalking”, cruising an interesting blog over and over, or visiting a Discussion Forum to read a girl’s posts, hitting refresh as neurotically as clicking a pen.  But, when stalking moves from watching through the blue glow of the monitor to real life watching through the living room window,  it is the cruelty of stalking that strikes me the most.  The silent Watcher has no empathy for his Victim.  He just sits and watches as events and occurrences unfold.  No different than the detached coldness of the Engineer monitoring a Network. This notion of the emotionally removed Stalker was taking up room in my head when Kevin Kelleher’s blog on the last day of Web 2.0 Summit 2011 was served up on the web page I was reading.  I didn’t see the blog until 5 days later, but it struck a chord noneth

The Art of Putting Truth in a Lie

As I walked out the door that warm Tuesday night in August, I looked back over the thresh hold at him as he stood in the small kitchen in the very little house.  The way he held his jaw in profile in the late evening shadows, he looked for a moment like the Audio Thief.  They taste the same.  They smell the same.  They even screw the same.  “If” was the only thing going though my mind as I caught a glimpse of the Audio Thief out of the corner of my eye. you could’ve had me Right there beside you you could’ve had me boy CONTINUE READING - PATREON - THE ART OF PUTTING TRUTH IN A LIE
