All Roads Lead To Rome, Part II

Published / by Lee Kessler / 1 Comment on All Roads Lead To Rome, Part II

Now, I’m just an author/businesswoman and patriot.  What do I know?  I’d rather be wrong about this next information.  But, after you read The White King Trilogy, I will leave it to you to decide.

In “White King and the Doctor” Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the Mastermind of Al Qaeda, and his Propaganda Chief Samir Taghavi pulled off one of the greatest intelligence hoaxes in history.   It was a hoax so skilled, it fooled the world’s intelligence communities, brought us into a still-lingering war, put our nation in deep debt, cost thousands of American lives, disrupted the United States, and discredited our own Intelligence community.

In the novel, the young hero–Grandmaster Chess Champion Andy Weir–discovered the chess move that would start this cascade and he and CIA analyst James Mikolas tried to warn the President not to invade Iraq..   Andy’s discovery?   There were no WMD in Iraq.   You know the rest.

Now, that same character “Samir” has eclipsed even that propaganda coup by luring Media, Politicians and global Intelligence Chiefs into a coup attempt.   The result has been years of strife created by US Intelligence involving US politicians, the demise of the Press, the discrediting of politicians and statesmen, and the stymying of negotiations globally due to the uncertainty about whether Pres. Trump would survive.

So, here are some dots to connect.   Most of these were “Unwitting” pawns of a brilliant psych-ops and information warfare strategy to cripple America. Some of this cast of characters–in my opinion–are “Witting” however.  (See last week’s Blog “All Roads Lead to Rome)

Stefan Halper who has worked with the FBI, CIA and British Intelligence Agency MI-6 attempts to penetrate the Trump Campaign to spy on it.  A Russian Collusion story is planted.  Written by “former” MI 6 agent Christopher Steele supposedly, produced by Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS (a propaganda firm) for the Clinton Campaign, the story at first went nowhere, UNTIL…

A Canadian official tells Sen. John McCain that he has terrible information on the President.   McCain dispatches his aide David Kramer to fetch the document in England,   In a scene that could be taken straight  out of a spy novel, Kramer surreptitiously connects with Steele, is given the Steele Dossier.  McCain gives it to the FBI, while Kramer starts disseminating it far and wide.  (Go to my Blog on Black Propaganda to see exactly what tactic this is.) Resting on the reputation of Sen. John McCain, the dossier picks up “credibility” and a supposed Counter-Intelligence investigation begins at the FBI. I believe Senator McCain was an “unwitting” dupe of very masterful propagandists and dirty tricksters.

James Comey, then Director of the FBI  shows it to President Trump, and that makes it “official.” James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence feeds the document to the Media.  Blinded by disappointment, hatred and embarrassment, it is eventually published by BuzzFeed, and then widely rote-repeated by news agencies like CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post etc.  Jeff Zucker of CNN leads the charge, changing his programming to non-stop coverage–thereby lending additional credibility to the document and Collusion Theory.

John Brennan, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, becomes a hired news contributor at CNN, and is regularly seen planting misinformation about the Collusion “story,” breaking all protocols of intelligence chiefs by speaking out, thereby lending additional credibility to the “story.”

With the credibility of a John McCain,  a John Brennan, and CNN, they hardly needed James Comey, Peter Strozk, Lisa Page or any other characters. But nonetheless, Peter Strozk who was deputy head of counter-intelligence for the FBI, contributes.  They all eventually deceive a Secret Court, the FISA Court, (probably not the first time) and spying warrants are issued.

(Notice that the timelines here are all muddled.   This can all be straightened out, and a timeline will reveal the truth of who did what and when.   One of the tactics of deception is to muddle the time lines.)

Predictably this polarizes  Republicans and Democrats, and hamstrings a President.

Curiously, John Brennan of the CIA, James Clapper of National Intelligence and Christopher Steele of MI-6 and Glenn Simpson, a propaganda operative who runs Fusion GPS are currently linked to The Democracy Integrity Project founded in Jan. 2017 by Daniel Jones–former aide to Senator Dianne Feinstein when she was head of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

To make matters even more interesting, the Ambassador from Australia– who was the former head of Australia’s equivalent of our Central Intelligence Agency– sets up George Papadopoulos who was a volunteer during the Trump transition I believe.   Papadopoulos eventually is accused of facilitating the “Collusion” between the President and Russia.

If you are tracking the words I have typed in bold type, something should have jumped out at you by now.  This was an Intelligence Operation from the get-go.   So, where is “Samir” you ask?

Well, “stay tuned” Director Brennan because the next Blog connects the dots between this merry band, and Christine Blasey Ford, her friends, and attorneys–and our friend Daniel Jones.   And former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe!!

The picture that emerges connecting the next set of dots is stunning.   Chilling, but stunning.

All Roads Lead to Rome!

Published / by Lee Kessler / 1 Comment on All Roads Lead to Rome!

After reading my first two novels in the White King Trilogy, International Counter-terrorist Expert and Security Consultant, Steve Luckey, wrote, “If our adversaries are even one-tenth as smart as Ms. Kessler depicts them, we are in the fight of our lives.”

As time went on, and history is unfolding before your very eyes, those adversaries are in fact creating havoc with us in the United States.   Their goal:   to neutralize the United States and its power forever.

I did my research and wrote the novels from a 1000 mile elevation–a God’s Eye view if you will–in order to pervade the entire scene globally, and figure out who was doing what, and why, and how.   Then I told  a “story” that would carry truth in a timely and topical manner so that all people, now and in the future, could learn the lessons revealed there.   The strategies are in fact timeless.  They have been used before, and will be again.   My goal was to empower the reader.

But, those of you who know me, or follow my Blogs, know that the character “Samir,” though fictitious, really exists in my opinion.   I am through with the Trilogy, but I was not through with “Samir.”   The reason for that is that it is obvious to me by the shockingly sudden collapse of the American Free Press, and the tortured divides in the US on all lines, that “Samir” is here.  He is a stealth operator.   So, I have continued to come down from the 1000 mile elevation to see if I could triangulate him from current events.   (To be honest, I prefer the elevation.   It’s saner and more hopeful than the reality we are encountering daily now.)  I believe I have located him.   Time will tell.   But there are trails, and they all lead to one location.

I urge all of you to read or reread “White King and the Docto”r right now.   Our future may hinge on you understanding before the 2020 election what Steve Luckey recognized.  In the book, Samir Taghavi is the terrorists’ Propaganda Chief.   His strategies were to use Information Warfare and Counter Intelligence–both within the purview of Propaganda–under the guise of Public Relations.

There is a chilling scene in the book early on where he tells his mentor, the real life mastermind of Al Qaeda, how he was going to render the United States impotent.   He explains marketing buttons which are Public Relations talking points.   They are short words or phrases which, once embraced, enter the current discourse unexamined.  They can be, and usually are, false.   Samir’s dilemma in that scene was how could he make this happen quickly, so that this false data and confusion would spread quickly.   With the United States breathing down their neck, they had little time, and they had to saturate the public’s mind rapidly in order to get the people, by their own choice, to turn away from their government’s mission.

He decided to get one US media mogul–knowing that if he could compromise the top Media outlet, the others would copy-cat quickly.   They would not have the time for actual research, so they would rely upon the words and ideas of their major competitor.   They would rote repeat the Marketing Buttons (counter intelligence points) without verification.   He was in fact relying upon the ambition and laziness of today’s crop of journalists.

He further laid out two lists that proved to shock even his own mentor.   One was the “Witting” List, and the other the “Unwitting” List.   The first one was small, and involves actual trained enemy operatives under his control and payroll.   It is a “siloed” operation.  (You will be hearing more about this term in the coming weeks in the media.)   The second list was large and included men and women  who would unwittingly be drawn into this Trojan Horse attack, and would further it in its credibility and acceptance.   They would in fact be committing treason, all the while having no idea they had been compromised by a world-class mind control expert.

The “Unwitting” List included US Law Enforcement heads, a major US Media Mogul, US politicians at the national level, and members of the Judiciary, along with other leaders in business and education.  As top leaders in their respective fields, they in turn would influence millions.   Thus, Samir strategized, he could render us impotent and conflicted quickly.   (You really should read the book to see what Institutions he penetrated and what he accomplished.)

Well, a few Blogs ago, I gave you a list of names.  Engaging in  a casual Internet research mode to verify some things I was hearing on the news, I found a group of players who were surfacing in multiple investigations, chaos, infamy, and slander.  The same “cast of characters” from the same background of Counter-Intelligence. Hmmm.  In the world of Intelligence, I don’t believe in coincidence.  All roads led to Rome.

I believe I have the source haven for the real life “Samir.”   He moves in many circles, but all the circles overlap, and this one organization provides security and anonymity for “Samir”–and all others who play games of deception in order to take control.

In the next Blog I will lay out where I think “Samir Taghavi” is, and who is shielding him–Wittingly or Unwittingly!   Be prepared.   This is going to take some courage.   The Unwitting include two famous and beloved US Senators, one Democrat and one Republican. (remember the game is to divide and conquer), a Media Mogul whose network is now in apparent disgrace, a prominent journalist, the Senate Judiciary Committee and others whose names you may not remember, but whose recent controversies you will undoubtedly have had an opinion about.

“Rome”–the epicenter–is a highly trusted research firm that people in power have relied upon for credible, accurate, research in order to help them make evaluations and decisions.   For a sneak peek, look up The Democracy Integrity Project.

And stay tuned for the cast of characters who have been circling in each other’s orbits.  Remember the computer adage:   Garbage In, Garbage Out.   Be prepared to be shocked, saddened–yet relieved and hopeful.    I think you, the American People, knew it all along.

 

The Need to Be Right

Published / by Lee Kessler / 2 Comments on The Need to Be Right

We all have a need to be right.  It’s a trait of human nature that we desire to be right: in our opinions, our work, our assessments and evaluations, our actions, our choice of friends, work places, politicians, housing locations, mates…the list is endless.

And certainly it is a good thing to be right.   None of us is perfect however.   Within that simple statement lies a hidden truth.   Since we know somehow that we are not perfect and don’t want to be held to that standard, we are forced to admit that as much as we desire to be right–maybe even need to be right–we are sometimes wrong.

So, rather than face with consternation and denial that we sometimes err in our judgment and actions, I would like to suggest that just as we have a need to be right, we must also be willing to be wrong.   Notice that I said “willing” to be wrong.   We don’t have to like it.   We don’t have to make excuses.   We don’t have to jump for joy at our mistakes and miscalculations.   But, we must be willing at times to acknowledge that we were wrong, in order to thereafter get to the truth of a matter, or on to success and happiness in a matter.

Therefore, if new facts or data proven factual surface, even if that data contradicts our impassioned and entrenched “positions,” we may at times in our lives have to slow down, take a deep breath, suck it up and say, “I was wrong.”

In the coming weeks and months in the year ahead, I believe we collectively as a nation are going to find ourselves in a position where some of us are going to have to be big enough to admit egregious errors in the political arena.

I am not speaking of Democrat vs. Republican. I am, however, speaking of an attack upon our Republic, and all of us as voting citizens.  And our emotional acceptance of that attack has allowed an undermining force–a Fifth Column–to nearly overthrow our government.  What do I mean, you ask?

Evidence is mounting and surfacing every day now–backed up not by “rumor” or “innuendo,” but rather by emails, letters, texts, and testimony under oath–that a group of men and women in our government, not elected by the people–but whose arrogance and self-espoused superiority surpasses any elected officials in my lifetime–have conspired to overturn an election, and the vote of the American people.

The danger is that this time the target might be a politician you don’t like.   And you don’t care what happens.   You should.   Because only the people of the United States can elect the men and women in Washington.  Only the people elect a President. So, rather than turn a blind eye to what will be coming into harsh daylight, scrutinize it.   For, if we don’t, next time it will be done to a politician you do like.   The target was never the politician.   The target was you.  It’s time to be prepared to be wrong.

In 2004 I commenced a journey of investigation and art to see if I could identify why we are being torn apart from within.   The journey resulted in the White King Trilogy, which is regarded as prescient.   Almost prophetic, each book was written before the situations became visible in real life.   But, the national nightmare we are living through today was forecast in those novels.   The fact that I have been proven “right” does not give me much solace.   Frankly, I would have preferred to have been “wrong.”

Not even I, however, could put my finger on the “Who”–the personnel that intend to run things from the shadows since you, they feel, are incapable of running things in the light of day.   They lurk in a subterranean world, empowered by your tax dollars, and protected by their “impeccable reputations” and “credentials.”

Yet, like any criminal, their goal is mainly self-preservation.  The sad thing for them now is that like any cabal, once an investigator starts closing in on one person, that person may throw the rest to the wolves to save himself.   The conspiracy begins to unravel, and the conspirators feed on themselves.

Since my analysis proved dead on accurate in  my books, I want to reveal to you now that one additional piece of research thread I was pursuing up to the present, just to satisfy me, has led ironically to a collision course with individuals who soon will be visible to you–but in a different light from how you perceived them in the past.

I decided to put a stake in the ground right now, and call them out.   I am willing to be wrong on this.   Only the coming months and years will establish whether my analysis was also correct on these individuals and their goals–as accurate as it was on the villains in the trilogy.  To be honest, I would rather be wrong.   But, sadly, I don’t think I am.   Every day, the new information surfacing has been confirming suspicions and analysis. This last two years’ incessant harping by the Media on “Investigate! Investigate!’ has bommeranged now.   One has to be careful what one wishes for.   The investigations happened all right, but they are revealing a very different picture.

So, here are a few of the names I want to identify as “players” or “unwitting pawns” in a horrific play. Some you may know, some you may not know.   And some, even I have not identified by name–only by agency. I only suggest that as you read this list, if you doubt it, read The White King Trilogy.   I challenge you to do that.

Here they are, in no particular order.   Players or pawns?  We will discover soon enough: The former director of Australia’s equivalent to our CIA; the current director of Britain’s equivalent to our NSA, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, FBI counsel James Baker, Rod Rosenstein, James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan, Jeff Sessions, the former director of the DNC and Congresswoman from Florida, Christopher Steele, Glen Simpson, Fusion GPS, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, at least one FISA court judge, the Clinton Campaign, and at least two journalists who know they are releasing Black Propaganda, and whose finances, in my humble opinion, need to be investigated.

In “White King and the Doctor,” I theorized that the real life mastermind of Al-Qaeda used steganography ( a way of hiding a picture within a picture) as his means of communicating with his Propaganda Chief, the Public Relations officer Samir Taghavi.   Sending what looked like computer graphics designed for advertising campaigns, Samir had a secret computer program to reveal the encrypted picture hidden within.   Anyone looking at the document would assume it was just proposed images for public relations.  Instead, the man known as “The Doctor” was conveying specific instructions to his lead operative in Europe and the United States.   Those instructions expose the Fifth Column.

We Americans have had a “picture” continually painted for us with relentless passion for two years. Hidden within that picture of seductive lies is the truth.   And the “Truth” picture is surfacing every day, every week.  Once fully visible, you will know the magnitude of the misdirection and misinformation campaign waged against you.  However, the annoying thing about Truth– from the point of view of the Liar– is that it opens the door to a handling.   Once visible, the Good People line up, and the illusion that existed on the surface evaporates, as does the power of those who covered up Truth.

We are in for turbulent times.  These men, whichever ones actually turn out to be involved, will not give up easily.   They have already lost.   But, like a mortally wounded dragon, the tail flipping around in death throes can still do a great deal of damage.

Hang on everybody.

 

 

 

 

Abortion–The Third Rail

Published / by Lee Kessler / 1 Comment on Abortion–The Third Rail

It’s taken me a while to write about this because of the highly sensitive, career-destroying nature of the topic.   Just the word brings about stimulus-response reactions on both sides of the issue.  The word alone engenders divisiveness.   But, before any of you hyperventilate, feel your blood pressure rise, or your stomach sink, relax.   This is not going to be what you think.

It is my hope to examine something from a different perspective, and in so doing, I hope to ease your spirit and mind, and open up a possibility not addressed.  This piece is not judgmental; it is not political; it is not incendiary.   It is to help you navigate past the “Third Rail.”

In an earlier Blog (Guidelines for Living) I spoke of a friend who expressed to me what he had taught his children regarding how to live:   Do as much good as you can.  Do as little harm as you can.  Those simple sentences hold, I believe, an answer for women and men who may be in anguish on this subject–torn, and suffering emotionally.

Let’s begin by using those rules as guidelines.   Abortion is legal in the US, and will remain so. Though one has that choice, It may not be the best option.   So, let’s calmly, and rationally, look at another option.

Do as little harm as you can.   If a woman is pregnant and does not want the child whether because of  money, being unmarried, fear, career, circumstances of conception, or health, she is often encouraged to abort the child.  So, she “harms” the child in order to “help” herself and her future.   There are, however, three things in play:   The mother, the child, and a couple who is childless somewhere in America who pray nightly for a child, and who would love to adopt.

Therefore, a decision to abort no doubt allows the woman to go on with her life without the child and all that comes with that baby.  But, harm is done to the baby.   It is not really debatable that the fetus is a separate entity, with separate DNA.   It is not a tumor.   It is a human being, with a DNA blueprint, growing in what is supposed to be the nurturing and protecting womb of the mother until birth.  To destroy the fetus is to harm the child and whatever potential exists with that being. It also harms a couple in their quest for a child they would love and care for the remainder of their lives.   The decision to abort then helps one, and harms two.

The decision to deliver the baby and give it up for adoption is an alternative.   Let’s take the other rule.   Do as much good as you can.   Giving it up allows the mother to be free and to move on.   That’s good for her.   It allows the child to live and have a chance to laugh, to squeal, to learn to walk, run, read and BE.   it allows a desiring and deserving couple to have and cherish a dream.  It helps all three, and harms none.

Put it all together now.   Do as much good as you can; do as little harm as you can.  It is not a sin, and you are not a bad person to want to protect yourself from perceived harm or disaster. But, isn’t it worth looking at this:  to free yourself in such a way as to do good for the baby, and for others?   Why can’t everyone win?  I’d like to suggest that peace of mind, and emotional calm are more likely here.  My experience in life has taught me that any time we can do more good than harm, we prosper as an individual.  We feel strong, empowered, and confident in ourselves–not in our perfection (which is unattainable), but in our meeting a potentially devastating challenge and surmounting it for the good of many.  In that we attain a degree of wisdom.

Sadly, my experience in life has also taught me that when we act in our own self-interest–no matter how justified–but harm others in doing it, we are less empowered, less confident.   We know, somehow, that we are better than that.

I encourage everyone to slow down, ruminate on this a bit.   Because in the coming days you are going to be confronted by your elected lawmakers with laws that will require more than the Wisdom of Solomon.   They will require a sanity that no psychiatrist or psychologist has even a glimmer of understanding, let alone accomplishing for themselves.  Those two simple rules are sane.   They open a window to the light.  They lead to physical and psychological freedom.

I leave you with this.   Today, I heard the Governor of Virginia defend a lawmaker who is proposing abortion of the child during childbirth, including after birth potentially.  This is America.   How did we come to this?   Where is it going to end?

We are better than this.

“The Plural of Anecdote is not Data”–Wrong!

Published / by Lee Kessler / Leave a Comment

Two or three days ago the Speaker of the House was pressed by a journalist about those who had lost loved ones to crimes committed by people who had come here illegally.  She responded, (and this is very nearly an exact quote) “The Plural of Anecdote is not Data.”  And with that short sentence she not only misstated a fact, she dismissed thousands of true, painful stories of her countrymen.

Now before you get your underwear in a twist, this is not a Blog about Ms. Pelosi.   Like Hillary Clinton’s “deplorable” comment, which I believe cost her the election, Nancy Pelosi will have to live with the consequences of that one simple statement.   That is between her and the people of the United States.

But it caused me to examine it, since it seemed preposterous to me.   Sometimes we all spout off about something, without stopping to really make sure we understand the words that make up the idea we are espousing.   And, if we don’t understand a word properly, we can make a HUGE mistake in calculation or evaluation.    So, I was inspired to look up a few words here.

Using my trusty American Heritage Dictionary, let’s examine the dismissive comment:   “The Plural of Anecdote is not Data.”

The definition of anecdote is: a short account of an interesting or humorous incident.   The Speaker was in trouble right there, as I doubt any of us would consider the death by murder of a family member, and the description of the event, to be humorous.   But, all of us make mistakes.  I am reminding myself right now to remember that, the next time I might be tempted to hurl out the word bigot, racist, xenophobe, sexist, misogynist, etc. So, let’s press on.   The second definition is: hitherto undiscovered particulars of history or biography.

Let’s just say an anecdote is an account of an incident.   It is a story.

So, what is a datum.   According to the dictionary, it is: a fact or proposition used to draw a conclusion or make a decision.   That certainly sounds like something we would always want to have as we are drawing conclusions–a factual datum, or its plural, data.   The dictionary further defines data as: factual information, especially information used for analysis.

So, what is a fact?   The dictionary defines it as: a real occurrence or event, something having real demonstrable existence.

Putting it all together now: Data are real occurrences or events that are analyzed and used for reaching conclusions, and making decisions.   The real occurrences are the “anecdotes” or stories.  They are actual, and the truth of the story allows one to reach a conclusion.

Statistically, we eventually take multiple stories of the same type and distil them into a numerical measurement.   The story and the people in the story now are reduced to a number, and we look at the number to make our decision.   70,000 drug overdose deaths per year in the US is a datum.   300 per week dying in the US of heroin overdoes is a datum.   Whatever the quantity is of rapes committed in this country or on route to this country are datums.   Whatever the number is of Al Qaeda terrorists who make their way from Brazil up a corridor and into the US is a datum.

We can look at these numbers and hear talking heads evaluating and arguing about the significance and relevance of the data, arguing about the solutions, or even if there is a need for a solution.   But, one inescapable fact remains:  The numbers were derived from actual human stories, and the humanity was removed because to tell 70,000 stories would be too bulky and take too much time.   So, instead we distil it.   We can look at it.   But, if we are not careful, we can also “dodge” it.  Someone lived that death.  You know exactly what I am talking about if you are one of the ones who has lived that story.

Take for example the “plural anecdotes” which were not considered “data” worthy of evaluation this past week.  Take the 300 deaths per week of our countrymen to heroin  overdoses that they were stupid enough to take.  Stupidity is one thing, but I think we all agree that death is a pretty severe penalty for it.  I personally have an “anecdote” for the Speaker about a young friend of mine who died a little over a year ago.   His mother is a close friend, and I know the devastation and loss that the family experienced.   But, I also lost a young friend whom I liked very much and enjoyed talking with about the world.  I think of him often. This is true.   It is actual.   It was a real event, and he is now in the statistical data which was derived from the other stories like his. His anecdote is now in a category with others who died the same way.

The Speaker was wrong.   The plural of anecdote IS data.   She can be forgiven her poor choice of the word anecdote.   Let’s see if she and others, and we ourselves, will be willing to look at the data–which is factual–and render a conclusion and decision that honors and respects those who have suffered through their own “anecdote.”  If we lose sight of the fact that the numbers we read represent actual countrymen and their stories, then we do not deserve to be forgiven.

I tried to call the Speaker, but she is not taking calls.   I believe she is in Puerto Rico–“strategizing.”   I tried to call my newly elected representative in California. She is not taking calls either.   I tried to call Senator Kamala Harris, and the same is true for her.   I will try again.   Or, perhaps one of you will forward this to your representatives, and maybe they can reach one of these folks.   Or perhaps your favorite journalist you follow on Twitter…
