Having revealed in my novels how “mind guys” implement their mind control, there is a tactic we all need to be aware of that has already been deployed to influence the Republican primaries and selection of the candidate for 2024.   Election interference has already begun, and it is being done under the category of Perception Management. 

That tactic used to be known as mind control or brainwashing. Then it was changed to propaganda as a whole “new-age” form of warfare was developed.   To sanitize it even further and make it palatable to the average person, propaganda was redefined as Public Relations.  A whole industry was born to do “opposition research” to support one’s candidate, and destroy the opponent by souring the voter–not on the opponent’s policies and viewpoints, but rather on a rejection of their perceived character flaws.   Initially begun with the idea that the research might expose some sordid things, but would actually be true, it has given way in recent years to a concoction of half-truths, falsehoods, and outright slander.   And that is where the propagandist operates—in the murkiness of lies that appear as truth.

Most recently, however, to legitimize it even more after the Steele Dossier and Russia Hoax debacle, those who would override your reason with emotion and passion have chosen a delicious new route called Perception Management.   If one can create and/or manipulate what you see and perceive, you change your thoughts, and thereby your decisions and actions.  Whether you change your vote, or lose your enthusiasm, or withhold contributions, or pass on harmful information in order to “inform” your followers, if one can alter your perception, they are engaged in the slickest form of mind control.

For example, last week, Trump was in New Hampshire as part of his campaign. I heard a news commentator remark that there didn’t seem to be the enthusiasm in the crowd that used to be there for him. And, further inserting his opinion into his evaluation, he added that perhaps it is time for someone new. This was a top-rated news agency, not CNN or MSNBC.

I realized then that one of the most dangerous Perception Management operations has already begun to stop Donald J Trump from receiving the nomination of his party for President.  It is obvious to me that his policies worked, and they worked because of his unique and creative leadership style, and his unshakable courage in the face of relentless attacks, 24/7. Perception Management will redefine that steadfastness as “reckless stubbornness” however. In my lifetime, I have never seen a President so attacked, so relentlessly, as he and his administration worked to better conditions in the United States and abroad.

Whether you love him or hate him, whether you voted for him or against him, when a President has an historic increase in people voting for him over his first run for the office, and when he and the American people—75 million of us—were told he had lost, it defied credibility.   Sadly, the Biden Campaign was a study in Perception Management, and its first huge victory was the defeat of Trump.   Now, one should ask oneself, who really wanted Trump gone?   Was it really the American people, or was it someone else?

I believe it is in fact someone else, and they skillfully aligned forces and industries like Big Media and Big Tech to ensure he did not make it.   You can read “White King and the Seat at the Table” to find out who they are and what they plan for you next.   Their problem, though, is Donald J. Trump.  He is running again for his second term.   And 75 million Americans believe their vote was somehow negated in 2020.   Whether it was cheating, incompetence, wholly inadequate state elections laws, media manipulation, edgy voting day disparities, or even legal loopholes, the outcome was the same—tens of millions of Americans now doubt the election process in the US.

The solution that the Perception Management people have cooked up is this.   They can’t outright tell 75 million Americans to stop believing in President Trump, or to stop believing in what they witnessed in 2020.  So, they are inside the party itself now promoting selecting someone who is “just like Trump, but not Trump.”  The very traits that made him so effective in negotiations, in policies, and in world leadership are the traits they want you to shy away from.  Statements like “well, I loved his policies, but I didn’t like his personality, or his tweets” are straight out of the opposition playbook in Perception Management.   The goal is to get you to change your perception of Trump, by lowering it just enough that you will choose “someone just like him, but not him.”   The problem is there is no one like him.   He is a one of a kind, and a total standout in the nearly 250 year history of our country.  If they can manage your perception of him, dampen your enthusiasm, or get you to embrace the delusion that if he just goes away and we pick someone else all things will calm down, they win.

I personally experienced the negative outcome of such thinking in my acting career in Hollywood.   As a young actress rising into starring roles (about the time I was blacklisted) the top producer of TV shows at the time was casting the lead in a 10-part miniseries to be followed by a series.  He had chosen me, but had not made an offer.   Then, “someone” gave him the idea that he should find someone just like Lee Kessler, but not Lee Kessler.   He searched all over the United States—literally–and the last night before he would have to start filming he found someone in Chicago “just like Lee Kessler, only not Lee Kessler.”  The project failed totally, because although she was a lovely, nice actress who looked like me, she was not me. 

And someone wants you to embrace the “just like Trump, but not Trump” mantra. My situation was trivial in the grand scheme of things.  But, the undermining of an American President is not.   The attack will be covert, and it will come from within the ranks of very credible people. Their voice and their argument will seem so reasonable. Having lived in Florida until this year, I admire and respect Gov. DeSantis.  But, he is not Donald Trump.  Neither is Nikki Haley.  Neither is Mike Pompeo.  All fine people.  But, mark my words, if  Republicans like anyone of these, or a long list of other hopefuls, and begin to salivate over the idea of offering one of them up to us as the candidate, they have already succumbed to the perception management tactics. 

Just make sure you, my fellow countrymen, do not take the bait.  He is today who he was in 2016 and throughout his presidency.  He represented and spoke for millions upon millions.  But if an enemy can get you  to favor calm and predictability more than you value world security and the security and prosperity of the American people, that enemy knows you will have fallen for their perception management whereby they persuaded you that he is somehow too noisy, too dangerous, and you must choose someone more traditionally palatable—someone safer.   In doing so, they override the obvious—it was all the calm, safe politicians who got us here in the first place, and were too cowardly to back their President when he stood up.

Controversial, embattled, noisy, sometimes full of grace, sometimes uncouth, he nonetheless got the job done in the world as it is today, not as it was in the past.  The next time you hear someone say, “well, we like his policies, but we just want someone else who won’t be soooo…we want somebody different,” just know they are repeating the propaganda line of the Perception Management arm of the global elites.   In the world of propaganda strategies, a lie told often enough becomes the truth.  Likewise,  the repetition of the message until all embrace it is an old marketing strategy still used today.   The more of you who repeat that message, the more you make it true.

Ask yourself, who benefits if someone with good intentions and talent, but nowhere near seasoned enough to stop the opposing party’s candidate—let alone our formidable global adversaries–is nominated?   You?  Or maybe the naïve people who just quietly and sweetly say, “I just don’t like his tweets,” hoping that if he goes away somehow miraculously all things will be hunky dory again ?  No.  Regrettably, just like the Hollywood story that turned out badly with the Producer’s choice, this will turn out badly. Only this one really matters to mankind’s future.  The TV show did not.  Don’t take the bait!

My Prayer for Brittney Griner

Published December 8, 2022 / by Lee Kessler / 3 Comments on My Prayer for Brittney Griner

This is my prayer for you, Ms. Griner. As an American, I am happy you are home, and reunited with your family. I do not choose to discuss lifestyle or politics today. You are an American, and you have a right to be back in the United States of America. It is my understanding that Viktor Bout’s family is equally joyous at his return.

What I want you to understand though is that Americans will die as a result of this exchange. You are free to pursue now your American Dream–the NBA, where you play basketball. Mr. Bout is now free to pursue his dream, which is to kill Americans.

And make no mistake, Americans will die in the future as a result of your freedom. You will not know their names, nor will I, for some time. But, make no mistake, your experience in Russia must have established for you a new reality on the difference between true freedom–however flawed you view it–and true suppression. Mr. Bout will ensure, directly or indirectly, that Americans die.

So, please, honor them now in advance. Men and women–and possibly children–will pay the price for your freedom. Their families will never be “reunited” because their loved one will have perished. The government of the United States has decided to spare you, in exchange for the future death of American citizens. It is my prayer that you be grateful for the sacrifice the countrymen you have disparaged will make in the near future for you. And that you will show the same grace and compassion for them and their beliefs as they, as Americans, have shown to you today.

It is my further prayer for you that you become an activist now to bring home every American who has been seized–regardless of their politics, their gender, their color, or any other thing you value. They are Americans, and they deserve not to be left behind. Your credentials, and those of Steph Curry as well, should help them and their families.

And it is my final prayer for you–coming from someone as different from you as you can imagine–that you cease disrespecting this country and your fellow countrymen who will have made an ultimate sacrifice so you can pursue the American Dream. I honor what you have done. Now let’s see what you learned from this, and who you become, and what you do in the future.

Welcome home, Ms. Griner. You are welcome here!

From, “someone who could be the next intended victim of Viktor Bout.”

And it is my prayer for my fellow Americans that you spread this Blog “far and wide, even into the seats of power.”

While We Rearranged the Deck Chairs on the Titanic

It’s been a week since the 2022 mid-term elections, and final results are still not in. For seven days now there have been recriminations, finger-pointing, blame-shifting, jockeying for position for 2024, betrayal, shock, disappointment, glee, and endless preliminary analyses on how so many got so much so wrong. I will leave the postmortem on all that to the commentators and op-ed writers.

As for me, having written “White King and the Seat at the Table,”–the novel revealing who, how, and why America is being brought down from within–and having been raising red flags all through this election cycle, it is now time for a look from a different perspective, a different angle, and a different elevation.

All of America, certainly all of the Media, and all of our politicians pinned their hopes, on both sides, on last Tuesday. In Clearwater, Fl. in September, I attempted to warn a political activist group I had been asked to speak to that even if we won, it would not be a silver bullet, but rather a bullet dodged. My message and the reasoning behind it fell on deaf ears that night, as all were caught up in the frenzied and impassioned dedication to the task immediately in front of them.

Well, there were some wins and losses, but while we were distracted “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic,” a great deal happened that no one was looking at. Even as I write this, those in charge in Washington are in heated debate over where they should put the chairs next time, who was too fat and tilted the ship, who left too many light weight chairs on the wrong side of the deck, who picked the wrong people to assign to areas of the deck and to traffic control, who didn’t pull their weight, etc. etc. That debate will go on for weeks.

But while it has been raging this week, the Titanic called the United States of America not only did not stabilize, it continues to sink, as America loses freedoms, wealth, hope, and leadership in the world. The gash produced by the iceberg floating in international waters is widening, and our nation itself is being swamped. Here’s what you missed in the frantic “rearranging of the deck chairs.” Here’s what our Media failed to cover.

The United Nations Climate Summit in Egypt is occurring. Heads of state of about 100 nations, including our own, are attending. For years now they meet annually as they plan on how to handle what they call the impending global climate disaster. It used to be called Global Warming, but that didn’t pan out. Then it was called Global Cooling, but that didn’t pan out. Knowing that the target would always be shifting in this pesky thing called the physical universe, their marketing department came up with a label that can be used forever, and will likely apply somewhere on our orb on any given Sunday–“Climate Change.”

However you feel about it, here’s what I saw and read about this week. Standing on the same stage were the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, and John Kerry representing the United States. He proudly laid out how they plan to handle a global climate-death emergency. They will use the Covid-19 model. We all know how that turned out. Lock-downs, mandates, cessation of freedom, individual medical freedom overridden. Kerry seemed to assert that the World Health Organization is poised to declare a global emergency, and when they do, the test-run of the pandemic and the protocols they used to curb it, will be implemented globally.


Whether it was Kerry or someone else who brought it up, there appears to be a GPS app now that can be used globally to measure CO2 emissions and identify who the culprits are who are harming the planet. They then can be located and “handled.”

So, while we were distracted, the world moved one step closer to an authoritarian global governance, with arbitrary designations determining who survives and who does not. If you have not done so, please read the fictionalized truth revealed in “White King and the Seat at the Table.” Reading a story will help you see what you can not see at the moment amidst all the current non-fiction noise.

It is my absolute intention that the Titanic does not sink, but we had better identify who floated an iceberg into our great nation before it is too late.

California–the Prototype for the Nation

Published October 16, 2022 / by Lee Kessler / 1 Comment on California–the Prototype for the Nation
1 Reply

When I arrived in California in the 1970’s as an idealistic and enthusiastic young actress, I remember how enamored I was with the beautiful state, and Los Angeles itself. Intellectuals in New York used to disparage Los Angeles, claiming pridefully that artists in Los Angeles were just wannabes, and that the real creative genius of our country lay undisputedly in New York City. Artists almost had to apologize for being from Los Angeles if they wanted to be taken seriously.

Alas, all has changed now, however. The ever-expanding totalitarian creep that has permeated all of our foundational institutions–education, family, religion, justice– has taken root in California, flourishing there at a breathtaking pace, and setting the example for the rest of the United States. That example, in my opinion, will ruin us all. Once called the “land of fruits and nuts” California has now risen to become the “prototype for all social and environmental experiments in the United States.”

If the news is to be believed, California proudly leads the country in its dictatorial, invasive, unfair policies aimed at its citizens. These are almost too numerous to mention and have been addressed in depth by those covering the exodus of Californians to other freer states.

However, I have a word of warning for all who think they are escaping the repressive policies. You are not. This horror show will be “coming to a theater near you” very soon. Whoever has set the vision for the United States in the future–and it has been set, make no mistake–have chosen all new things to be tested in California first. If successful there, no matter how outrageous it seems to you, it will be exported to other states. One by one, states will succumb to the cancer of socialism. And I predict you will see ignorant or complicit leadership gleefully embrace policies that, in the end, could impoverish us all, and enslave us all.

For example, many of you probably read about the ban on all new gas-powered cars in California by 2035. Whether the citizen wants it or not, whether the citizen can afford it or not, he will have to buy electric vehicles if he wants a new car, struggle to find gas for his old car, or bicycle around. You may have thought that idea was ridiculous and won’t catch hold. Wrong! Even before it has been implemented fully, California’s reputation for being the place where all “progressive” innovations, and forward-thinking ideas flourish is causing other states to salivate. Just a few months after Newsom announced this new blatant interference with free commerce, free choice of the consumer, and is leading his people like sheep to the alter of the Climate God, New York has apparently announced they will do the same. Why? Because all these “bright ideas” are tested first in the Golden State, and then can roll out elsewhere. That is the definition of a prototype.

Take also the guaranteed minimum income of $1000/month that is starting as a test project for three years in parts of Los Angeles. Heated debate is going on about the effects of such a thing on the taxpayer/producer, and on the unsuspecting person who receives something he didn’t earn. No better way to make a person weak than to treat him as if he cannot produce. Yet they are doing just that. Many of you may have already scoffed at that idea, shaking your heads in dismay. Well, that too is “coming to a theater near you.” Cook County in Illinois suddenly says it wants to do the same thing. They may be a bit more timid than Los Angeles, though. They are only offering $500/month to those whose hopes and dreams will be destroyed by being labeled unable to succeed. Once again, before the prototype has even been thoroughly tested, it is being embraced.

In the medical area, you may have read that the bill passed in California and has been signed by the Governor that punishes physicians for advice and guidance they give to patients, if that advice does not align with the “approved science” of the WOKE and ignorant. See the NY Times, Aug. 29. Nothing like some bureaucrat who probably never even took an advanced science class to be dictating to doctors what they can and cannot recommend to their patients. Forget the doctor’s oath; forget the doctor/patient confidentiality. Medical professionals can now be disciplined by the “state” for doing what they were trained to do: observe, diagnose, evaluate, recommend, and treat the individual in front of them.

How long do you think it will be before another state decides to create such legislation? Who wants to take bets on who it will be? Are you living in that state right now?

I have a message for those fleeing California. It might be better to “defund” the lunatics who create these social justice and environmental prototypes, lest you move to another state, only to find the cancer has spread there too.

So, to my friends around this great country–especially in New York and Washington, DC: Don’t underestimate California. Do not ignore the disgusting, repressive ideas they come up with, and put into policy and practice. If the prototype works in accomplishing their goal, it will roll out. The citizens are losing their freedom to choose. They are losing their hard-earned income, witnessing the beginning of the redistribution of their money under the guise of “social justice” and “fairness.” And the medical professionals will surrender their ethics and integrity, or risk losing their ability to honestly practice their profession.

Just as in the justice system, once a precedent has been established, it carries forward and becomes the justification for future rulings. Make no mistake. This is California’s role in the brave new world I write about in my novels. They are the testing lab for an enslaving future. If you want to know what is planned for your state, look to California. What a nickname, huh? “California–the prototype for the nation.”

THE DESCENT INTO HELL

Published July 9, 2022 / by Lee Kessler / 3 Comments on THE DESCENT INTO HELL

THE DESCENT INTO HELL

It has been said that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. That may be true in many cases. But there is one path to Hell that is absolute. It is the path which takes otherwise sane, prosperous societies down into bondage and despair. It is the destroyer of all civilized people.

It is no respecter of persons. It matters not whether you are Democrat or Republican, who you voted for in 2020, whether you were at the Jan. 6 Rally, what pronouns you use. Once you set foot on this path, we are all equal, and we are all united in our descent.

One of the blessings of living in the United States, with a Constitutional Republic as our form of government, is that we are a nation of laws and due process. It was intended that all of us–no matter our status in life–would have equal protection under the law. And that we would be self-governing. Many of us have fought hard over time to live up to that intention.

Now, some 240 plus years after our founding, we have not just begun that dangerous descent, but rather we are well on our way. In a nation that cherishes law and order, and reason, each of us as citizens has a responsibility to uphold the law as it exists–or change it if it is wrong. Legally change it.

To do otherwise is to commence a descent into Hell. Here is the path. If you see a law you do not like, you work to change it in America. You do not break it. You LAWFULLY change it. If each of us can break any law we are in disagreement with, or ignore any court ruling we disagree with, then we descend into Lawlessness–a free for all.

Lawlessness, especially when driven by emotions such as hatred and fear, renders all of us vulnerable, as there can be no order when there is no respect for the law and due process, and no respect for the good people the laws protect.

Pervasive and capricious lawlessness descends into Anarchy. Every citizen is now the judge, jury, and executioner of not just the Rule of Law, but sadly even of their fellow countrymen. Individual whim, driven by base and out-of-control emotion, drives the citizens further down the path. One only has to look at the ever-expanding lawlessness in the United States that is going unanswered by the justice system to know that those responsible for protecting us have surrendered to the mob known as Anarchy.

My friends, Anarchy does not care about your Vaccination card. It does not stop its plundering to check it. It does not check your political beliefs and contributions. It does not care about your education and number of followers on Social Media. Like lava flowing from a volcano, it destroys everything in its path.

Anarchy has one–and only one–final outcome. Totalitarianism. In the presence of an out of control citizenry where honest men and women do not have rights, and live in fear of the prairie fire of Anarchy, governments–and misguided men–love to step in and “save everyone” by a complete and authoritarian hand. Bringing order once again, the citizenry is at first grateful for the authoritarianism, albeit heavy-handed. Soon, however, it becomes clear that the price for order imposed by those in charge was our freedom.

And the new regime will not let go. Having total control, they have given you the peace and calm you desired. The price for this New Order? SLAVERY.

And slavery–in our world today–is known as HELL. The descent into Hell is simple to plot. We were once a free people, who valued the Rule of Law and who worked to change it when injustices occurred or persisted. But, in the last few years, it has become justifiable to break the law, even encouraged. And from there we descended into accepted lawlessness. From there we have descended into pockets of anarchy. The totalitarian is waiting. In many areas of our country, he has already “saved you.”

You may not know you are trapped yet, and that a special brand of Hell has been developed for you. But, somewhere in our great land someone close to you is now living in Hell because you allowed people to break laws, rather than change them. And that began a descent that will inevitably suck you in as well if it is not checked.

The way out? Determined, courageous, self-less actions that stop the lawlessness by returning to the Constitution and its Rule of Law. Insistence upon Due Process. Insistence upon “innocent until proven guilty.” Insistence that an accusation alone does not mean guilt. Insistence upon intellectual integrity and curiosity, not Pavlov’s Dog-type reactions to every upsetting incident and gossip and slander. Insistence upon righting a wrong by changing any law that is wrong.

My friends, we either keep the power in our hands, where our ancestors fought and died to put it, or we surrender it into the hands of those who would be Totalitarians. Their residence? Hell.

The Path to Hell:

Law and Order

Breaking laws you disagree with–large or small–with impunity, Violating Court Orders you disagree with, Failure to work within the law to right the wrong

Lawlessness breaks out as a free-for-all begins

Anarchy ensues as the lawlessness spreads

Totalitarianism begins as the solution

Freedom dies.

This is the true road to Hell. And each one of us can stop it. Will you join me?
