Operation “Crossfire Hurricane”

Published / by Lee Kessler / Leave a Comment

If you have not heard that term, you have not been watching or reading the right news sources.  In the coming months, you, as Americans, are going to have to face something you never could have conceived, you never would have believed, and may not know how to handle.

Be calm, daylight reveals the truth.

Some of you who follow Congressional hearings have heard of Crossfire Hurricane, and it may have caused you to shudder.   It is real; it was testified to under oath by top FBI personnel; it was deployed against an American.   And we are going to explore it in the next few Blogs.

But, for now, just take a look at the name itself.   Ask yourself what crossfire is.  It is fIre from more than one direction converging on a single spot.  Ask yourself if you would like to be caught in a crossfire.   Certainly it is a tactic to guarantee that you hit the enemy from both sides, thus insuring he falls.

And Hurricane.   Well we all know the devastating force, winds, inundating floods, and treacherous clockwise/counterclockwise churning that a hurricane creates.   Not to mention its sudden changes in direction.   And it is broad, almost inescapable if you are in its direct path.

So, your tax payer dollars have been used in the last three years to create a hurricane deployed against American citizens.  Simultaneously, the individuals caught in the hurricane were hit with crossfire in an attempt to bring them down.

Who would conceive of this diabolical plot?   Who would further name it in such a sinister way?  Who was the target?  Did they survive?

Let’s talk.

The Grenade

Published / by Lee Kessler / 2 Comments on The Grenade

It was a popular expression during the 2016 Presidential Election for Candidate Trump’s supporters to shout out the command, “Drain the Swamp.”   Whether you are Republican, Democrat, or Independent, I doubt any of us have not had a day when we scratched our head, cursed under our breath, and wondered what the heck the men and women we elected turned into once they got to Washington, DC.

Be honest now.   We have all regarded that place as the swamp, because it doesn’t seem to matter who is President, or which party is in control of the Congress, we have all of us sensed there is something incompetent at best, and diabolical at worst, going on in “the Swamp.”

I mean, think of it.   How did the place even get its name?   Yes, the area was once a swamp I believe.   That’s not it.  It’s the other definition which Washington has earned in the decade-in and decade-out world that some perpetual players live in.   Webster’s kindly defines swamp as “a difficult or troublesome situation or subject.”  The verb means “to inundate or submerge.”

So, the voters who clamored to “drain the swamp” know that there is something insidious, even sinister, that lives in that swamp known as Washington, DC.   And they further know that no matter who they send to Washington as President or Vice-President, the swamp somehow inundates them.

Draining the swamp became a strategy then to drain off the excess water and expose the creatures who are living there.   It sounded like a good strategy. It even got a candidate elected. The problem with draining a swamp, however, is that it gives the “swamp creatures” time to slither away, hide under a rock at the bottom, take up residence in a new, deeper area–and remain camouflaged, still ready to strike.

Well, unwittingly, the American people didn’t send a man to drain the swamp.   They might have thought they were.  Instead they lobbed a grenade into the swamp.   Donald J. Trump is a grenade  He’s not a drainage valve technician!

When that grenade exploded totally unexpectedly, and instantaneously, the swamp creatures who were lurking in the murky subterranean world of manipulation, power, and likely corruption, were tossed up onto the surface–visible in broad daylight.   This was something that had never happened, and they never expected.   There they were: Democrats, Republicans, Bureaucrats, Intelligence snakes, K-Street firms–all of them writhing, trying to get out of the light and back down into the darkness they have been operating from during my whole life.  We even know their names now.  We can see them flailing.

Unfortunately for them,, Donald J Trump appears to be a time-release grenade.  He just keeps exploding sections of the swamp.   To me it is hilarious to watch these creatures spit, hiss, bite, and dive for cover.

Well, I have a tip for them–from me.  It’s not the grenade that is your problem.   It’s the people who tossed that grenade into the swamp, who wanted to see the real identities of hidden incompetence or subversive actions.

You have operated in dark, dank, murky corridors too long.   You have hurt Republicans and Democrats alike.  And the time has come for you to wither in the light of day.   Your power is ending.

Here’s to “grenades!”  (Now I have to put a disclaimer here.   You know I am not talking about military, weapons grenades. I do not, and never have, advocated violence.  I am talking about a disruptive, combative, fearless, asymmetrical warrior.  That was our grenade of choice.)

The Bunker

I remember when I first was invited to be a radio guest on a Talk Show with Gen. Paul Vallely and Oscar-Winning Film Producer, Jerry Molen.   As they launched the show they spoke of broadcasting from a bunker in the Rockies.   It struck me as humorous.

Having no idea where their studios actually were, I understood though that apparently they did not want to be truly located.

Later, when I happened to hear Rush Limbaugh one day, he too spoke of broadcasting from a bunker.   Again, I had no idea where his studios were, or are, actually, and whether “the bunker” was necessary.

Well, after blogging for a year–especially the content of my blogs in the last few months–I now know why the person communicating may need to keep their location unknown.   “The Bunker” is a euphemism for an undisclosed location.

So, know that my recent experiences have caused me to decide, in the future, to Blog to you from a “Bunker.”

That’s all for now.

The Reverse Dead Agent

Published / by Lee Kessler / 1 Comment on The Reverse Dead Agent

In the world of Black Propaganda there is a handling for the lies and subversion a Black Propagandist trades in.   When one is defaming you and trying to destroy you with lies, innuendo and gossip, you handle it by flooding the area with TRUE data.   That way, the truth overwhelms the false data, and casts doubt upon–not just the content–but the deliverer of the Black Propaganda as well.

You get out in front of them by explaining what they are going to do next and why, and why that is a lie because here is the truth.   Basically, you are knocking down their credibility before they attack, so that if and when they do, the viewer or listener doubts them and dismisses their awful data.

For some months now I have been educating you to aspects of the world of intelligence and propaganda, especially used in warfare and politics.   And we have talked about my character “Samir” from the White King Trilogy, who inserted himself inside the American mainstream media, political arenas, and law enforcement to  corrupt their motives and reasoning.

Well, today I want to point out that “Samir” is hard at work, and I don’t want you to fall victim to him.  He is a master of Black Propaganda, and he also knows what his target will do to defend themselves, by using  the data I just gave you.

So, he has reversed it.   Quite delicious actually.   Here’s how it works.   If you have been spreading lies for the purpose of destroying someone, and you realize that the targeted individual has now spotted you, what you are doing, and how you are doing it, you have to Dead Agent them before they can get the truth out.

Knowing that they will get truth out, all the truly evil, insidious Black Propagandist has to do is talk about what you are likely to do and say, and undermine your credibility or the accuracy of the content of what you have discovered, and are about to expose–BEFORE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE TRUTH OUT.

Therefore the viewer or listener has been inoculated against the truth by lies, which Dead Agent you before you can Dead Agent him.   The key is the Bad Guy has to speak FIRST.   He has to get out in front of you. Not only out in front of you, but he has to expose the truth, but color it and communicate it as if it were a lie.

So, instead of GOOD getting out in front of the BAD, the BAD reverses it.

Let me give you an example from this week.   As you know, I have called your attention to former CIA Director John Brennan many times.   Well, this week he said something very interesting.

Once the news broke that the Attorney General had established a US Attorney and former Federal Prosecutor to investigate the origins of the Russia Investigation, several people formerly from the top level of the FBI, CIA, and National Intelligence started squawking. One lied, one tried to wiggle and justify and reduce the significance of what might be discovered.   But one engaged in a Dead Agenting of “White Propaganda.”

Director Brennan said in essence, ( not an exact quote, but close to it) “I expect they’ll find that some mistakes were made, and they’ll misrepresent them to the public.” He knows that this investigation if it is done properly is likely to discover real and serious crimes perpetrated against the President, and against fellow countrymen of ours–citizens of the United States.  The crimes will not be small, and the penalties could be severe.   And, he knows that he will be amongst the persons eventually found.  I hope you caught then that he has started a campaign to undermine the validity of what will be found, the accuracy and context of what will be found, and the character and motives of the investigators who will unearth the conspiracy.

Make no mistake, the TRUTH is going to come out here.   The only unanswered question is who gets to you FIRST, the Black Propagandist or the Truth Teller?   It’s a race now to see who can Dead Agent the other first.   Sadly, my money is on Director Brennan.  Why?   He is a “shadows” guy who lies for a living, and he knows Propaganda Warfare, and Black Propaganda.   This subterranean world may be new to you, but it is part and parcel of the make up of Intelligence.  He knows exactly how to place lies on rumor and gossip lines, and he knows also how to get your truth to be discredited before you have even revealed it, and how to get your integrity and motives to be impugned by subtle suggestion–even before you have begun.

Nice trick, isn’t it?   Well, here’s another one.   Donald J. Trump was never the target–not the real one.   You are.   So, it’s time to spot this reverse Dead Agenting, and dismiss its plausibility before it takes hold in your mind.

Be alert.   These guys think you are too stupid to notice.   I, however, do not hold that thought about you, or me.

What If? The Why

Published / by Lee Kessler / Leave a Comment

The working cliché in the Press, Military and Intelligence world is that Zawahiri is driven by religion–his goal to recreate the Caliphate.  What if it had nothing to do with that?

What if that is his cover story, and he knows behavior analysts will fall for it.   I discovered that he sought a relationship with Bin Laden, but became bitter about Bin Laden funding another group with more money than he was giving to Egyptian Islamic Jihad (Zawahiri’s group).  I came upon the fact that he persuaded Usama Bin Laden that the head of that other group, who was Bin Laden’s own mentor, had betrayed him to the Americans.  It was Fake News by the way.  Believing it however, Bin Laden had his own closest colleague killed.

Guess who then got the money? Yep, if you know your Shakespeare, Zawahiri assumed the “Iago” position as wingman to Usama Bin Laden–who “unwittingly” had become “Othello.”  Ironic!  I concluded he was driven by money and that he would hide in plain site in financial communities. Further, with his medical/pharmaceutical background he would attack us in a very unsuspected way.  The attack would be unconventional, and even bright minds who pride themselves in thinking asymmetrically would miss it.

Remember, he is driven by an insatiable lust for control and money.  That determines the games he plays.

More to come…
