“Oh, what a web we weave…”

Published / by Lee Kessler / 2 Comments on “Oh, what a web we weave…”

If you have read “White King and the Doctor”–and I implore you to do so–you may remember that our enemy’s Propaganda Warfare Chief, who owned an international public relations firm, laid out a plan to take down the United States.   That plan involved what is called a Fifth Column.  (See my early Blogs last year)   It is a military term for a force operating inside a country whose purpose is to sow divisiveness in order to break the solidarity of a people, and it also may involve actual sabotage.  Pay attention now please! If it is Information Warfare, there may be sabotage of the information the people receive.  The end result of a successful 5th Column attack is the weakening of the core of the nation, and an eventual implosion.

In our case, the United States does not have to be done away with.   But, for those whose goal is world domination, it does have to be relegated to a lesser status where it can be controlled and manipulated by others outside our country.

What I need you all to understand is that the United States is We The People.  To bring the United States down, we the people have to be rendered impotent.   Now that is a tough challenge in a country as diverse as ours, and with a population that is smart, innovative, rugged, and brave.

I would rather you read this in the novel, as it will allow you to get your bearings, discover some truths for yourself, and to digest it in a story that makes current life understandable.   But, there is not time for only that now.   Here’s why.

The strategies the man named “Samir” laid out to accomplish bringing America down from within were to get us to do it to ourselves.   No one else would have the money and military resources to do it in a conventional way.   Therefore, by default, the attack would have to be done through Information Warfare.   Whoever controls the information you and I receive, and whoever manipulates the interpretation of facts or lies, will control us.

Two strategies were deployed by “Samir” (please see the Blog “All Roads Lead to Rome”).  One is that a lie told often enough becomes the truth.   The other is that a truth told can appear so outrageous it is dismissed as a lie.

This is shockingly and, though obvious to me, perhaps unknowingly being done to you right now.  In November of 2020, the American people will elect their next President.   It will either be the current President, or it will be someone else.   It matters not who your preference is for this discussion. It matters that you understand within an inch of your life that the key thing is that the American People–and only the American People–are to decide who is President.

Now, I am about to express a truth so outrageous you may be tempted to dismiss it as a lie.  Don’t yield to that knee-jerk response.   Slow down, take a deep breath, and listen.   To me?  More to your own still, quiet heart.

A coup attempt is in fact going on in the United States today.  The target appears to be President Donald J. Trump, but he is only your stand-in.   I am not diminishing his capabilities etc. but I want to make it clear he is your representative.  So, an attempt to overthrow him–less than 1 year from when you all have the opportunity to legally and constitutionally pick your President–is an attempt to overthrow you, and undermine your power.

The two strategies to divide us all, and to render you confused and fearful, are these.   Be on the lookout for them.   You are already caught in the eddy, and the whirlpool is intensifying.   Here is what the Information Warfare tactics will be.   You will be bombarded  from all directions, every day all day, by lies– from Media and other politicians too dim to know they are being used. Lies planted carefully and deviously, supported by other lies, and intertwined with yet other lies, connecting to even broader webs of lies.  They may be about the President, or about those working with him, but make no mistake.   YOU are the target.   The goal is to overwhelm your reason with so much false information you eventually succumb and accept the lies as truths.  You begin to doubt your own reality, and the reality of those around you.

Sir Walter Scott said it best in a poem, “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”

This web of deception will be done ahead of some major truths that will be exposed in the next few months.   Those truths are being relentlessly ferreted out through investigation, and those truths, I believe, will disrupt the world order as it is today.  And that, my friends, would be very devastating to those who want to control.  Therefore their propaganda campaign will flood the area with lies, so that when the truth appears, it will seem so outrageous to you–in the context of the lies–that you will dismiss the truth as a lie.

And bingo, the whole system goes upside down.   If “Samir” succeeds, you will be living in a world of political lies so pervasive you come to accept it as the norm–The “New Normal” in truth.   Only it is all a web of lies.  Then, you, on your own, will push aside or squash the truth when it comes out, since your mind will have been reprogrammed to view and evaluate through the filter of reversed truth.   You will be tempted to reject the truth in favor of the lie, and believe you are doing the righteous, patriotic thing in doing so.

Do you see how maniacal that is?   How Machiavellian?

The flaw in the ointment is this.   Americans are pretty smart.   We still have “gut instinct” and “common sense.”   And we are fiercely independent.   I think you know someone is doing something to you.   I think you feel it.   It feels like something may be trying to separate you from your own logic.

Sadly, this is part and parcel, stock and trade for the Black Propagandist, the Information Warrior.   He is the polar opposite of you.   He is the polar opposite of sanity.   Therefore, if you feel somehow that the world turned upside down, and you are wrestling with obscene illogics and punitive reasoning, just know the attack is on.

When I wrote the two books, “White King and the Doctor” and “White King Rising” which expose this and a whole lot more, and were stories of fiction inspired by actual events, I expected a tremendous amount of pushback from the readers, from the Intelligence Community, and others.   Instead, I got a resounding affirmation.   The immediate comment upon finishing the story from almost everyone was, “My God, I think this is true.”

Hold onto your truth, my friends.   You are being forced to reason on the foundation of lies that has been put in place.   It is, however, shifting sand.   There is something someone does not want you–the American People–to do in November of 2020.

My best solution:   Look at what the elites want you to do, what the Media wants you to do, what the Intelligence Community may want you to do, what some politicians may want you to do. Stand your ground, and do the opposite of what they want and expect.   That act alone may right the ship.

70 million Americans pulling the chain on this toilet can flush it all away.   We are the land of the free.    It still remains to be proven that we, as a people, constitute the home of the brave.

Hint:   When someone says they need to overthrow a President ahead of your election in order to save the country, you are looking at a lie.   Don’t let it become a truth, lest you forfeit your own power.   That power?   Your vote, my friends, your vote.

 

 

When is a “Conspiracy Theory” not a Conspiracy “Theory?”

Published / by Lee Kessler / 2 Comments on When is a “Conspiracy Theory” not a Conspiracy “Theory?”

Answer:  When actual facts surface that validate the premise of the “theory.”  Dealing in the dark world of subterfuge for this past decade as a writer of political fiction, and becoming somewhat expert in Information Warfare and Black Propaganda, the new “Big Con” is to say that every time someone in authority advances a theory and begins an investigation, they are dealing in “conspiracy theory” territory, and they are relegated to the irrelevant–to the nut case status.

Unfortunately, not all “conspiracy theories” are inaccurate.  It is my certain conviction that all of us Americans–and Europeans as well–are going to have to face some shocking, demoralizing truths in the months ahead.   The truth was always there, but it was obscured by an elaborate disinformation and misdirection campaign.  Our innate goodness made it almost impossible for us to look, let alone see. It was programmed to be a booby trap if anyone came close to discovering it.  The automatic PR line is to dismiss it as a “conspiracy theory.”   And since reasonable people do not want to be associated with absurd theories, the mere accusation has been enough to cause us to flinch and look away.

However, the Mysterious Missing Mr. Mifsud, the Maltese professor–though he sounds like a character out of Film Noir–is real.   The information he holds is real.  The facts that he revealed, or left to be found in the event of his death, I believe, are  what triggered US Attorney Durham–after being invited properly by the Italian Prime Minister to view secret data–to declare that the investigation he has been conducting has changed from an Administrative Review to a Criminal Investigation.

If the news you are viewing does not tell you this, you need to change news sources.

The larger point for all of us however, during all of our lives, is to understand the Rule of Law and know and protect the differentiation between opinion and fact.   A theory is an idea to explain phenomena.   The phenomena are real.   A conspiracy is a possible explanation.   Any “theory” remains a “theory” until facts and data proven factual emerge that establish the theory to be correct.   At that point, with information, documents, emails, texts, phone transcriptions, witness testimony etc. one could  justifiably call the phenomena a conspiracy, and the “facts” presented in court may result in convictions.  (Conspiracy is defined as: the act of joining in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act, which becomes unlawful as a result of the secret agreement.)

The Media knows this.   They act as if they don’t and they try to make you doubt yourself.   Do not doubt yourself.   You know this.   You are fair-minded, and you know that the Rule of Law only works if facts and data support the theory.   Anything else is opinion. You must remember this, since some of you will be on juries in trials.   The juror can not and must not deny a fact. That denial is the stuff that witch hunts, inquisitions, and even lynchings are made of.

Webster defines theory as: “an unproved assumption,”   “a hypothesis assumed for the sake of investigation.”

Attorney General William Barr and US Attorney Durham had an assumption unproven.   The invitation by the Prime Minister of Italy to view something in a classified environment which the Italians felt was relevant, and which led immediately following to a reclassification of the investigation to a criminal one, is your sign that the “conspiracy theory” is probably no longer a “theory.”   It is a Conspiracy!

And that, my friends, is what I have alluded to all along.   If you have followed my Blogs this past year, you know I have been on the trail of many things–amongst them the Truth.   Emails, texts, documents on a proper timeline will reveal the Truth.

We all know that something went horribly wrong in 2016 relevant to the election, and to the subsequent attempt to remove a President.  Even if you hate Donald J. Trump, you can not deny there has been a movement to remove him.   The issue for all of us–Republican, Democrat, Independent–is to find out who conspired to manipulate us into actions they desire, and which are not in our best interest.

You are soon to be looking at an actual conspiracy, not a conspiracy theory.

Whatever happened in Italy related to the Mysterious, Missing, Mr. Mifsud will come out.

Director John Brennan should be having night sweats. So should James Clapper and James Comey.  Here’s why.  One of the things I love most about the United States, and the Rule of Law is that–in the end–justice is served.  An honest investigator, whose purpose is to preserve law and order, is a formidable opponent.

Director Brennan and Company, we are patient in America.   Australia is throwing in the towel.   The Ukraine already has.   The UK is.   Italy has.  You, Director Brennan, have no where to hide.

I am eager for the American people to see and hear–in a court of law–what you and others did. And, one of them will spill the beans on why they did it.   Mark my words.   To save themselves, they will abandon you.

Time to return home, Director Brennan.   And for my readers, look up Aldrich Ames…and Sandy Grimes and Jeanne Vertefeuille.   And there you have my very own “conspiracy theory.”   Keep a sense of humor. Don’t get your underwear in a twist.  After all, it’s just a “theory.”

A Message for Director John Brennan

Published / by Lee Kessler / 3 Comments on A Message for Director John Brennan

Dear John,

You have manipulated the media. You have deceived politicians. You have disdain for all of us Americans.   You’re pretty bright.   But, not bright enough.

You may run propaganda and “dead agenting” marketing technologies past dim journalists with no intellectual curiosity, and no intellect even if they had curiosity.  They may have unwittingly or wittingly withheld from the American people all the true corruption,crimes, and swamp-like offenses because you influenced them to the point of stupidity.   The American people may not yet be aware of the crimes you and your cabal have committed.

But, a true investigative “blood hound” is on your trail.   Can you feel him coming?  I know you can because I saw you on television disdainfully talking about him.   That may con the vapid TV journalist, but it will not deter the “blood hound.”  He cares nothing about money, or power, or control.  He does not desire to be “liked and admired.”   He cares about Justice, and he is on your trail.

Stay tuned, Mr. Brennan…

The Ultimate Turnaround Guy!

Published / by Lee Kessler / 2 Comments on The Ultimate Turnaround Guy!

I was married to a world-class turnaround guy until his passing in 2008.   During our marriage I came to understand–up close and personal–what a turnaround guy has to know, what they do, and the risks they take.

Businessmen who do turnarounds are brought into failing enterprises and entities to find out why the organization is declining, who is involved, and how to figure out a solution which turns the stats around, and saves the company.

Shockingly, when he was first explaining to me the “string pulling” type of investigation he would be hired to do, he said, “I can always find the Who, Lee.   I can always find out Why.   But, I have to get them before they get me, physically, financially, or psychologically.”   In other words, his work involved finding out who deliberately and maliciously was tanking the company–Why they were doing it, and how they were doing it.   And it was further his job to put a spotlight on them, and bring them out into the open, and to “justice.”  Though I did not know him then, he told me of an assignment where he and his partner were hired to find suspected corruption in HUD.  He described it as his most physically dangerous assignment, where they had to change hotels every night to avoid assassination.   Three cars were blown up under them, and they survived.  Dangerous work–helping the American taxpayer!

What he told me next, was even more unsettling.   “It is always an inside job.   And, it is always at or near the top.”   Think about it.   You own a company, or run a charity, or an agency of government and the very people you have chosen to fulfill the mission and expand the company may be people who will make certain the mission is never accomplished.   Worse yet, they will be close to you, and in positions of power.   They are trusted.   That makes the betrayal all the more painful, and also insures they can remain hidden.   The reason for that–we don’t suspect that those we entrusted with our dream could actually be working to destroy it.  So, we look elsewhere.   We create other “reasons why” the stats are declining.   We chase other red herrings.   All the while, the culprit or culprits continue their sabotage.

In case you don’t understand Donald J. Trump, he is a turnaround guy.   Whether he intended to be or not, he is.   The American people sent him into the “swamp” to figure out and fix the decline of our economy, our education, our military, our security, and our global position and influence.  His role now involves, whether he wants it or not, finding the seditious people, and isolating their activities.

My experience with my husband prepared me to face the unthinkable.   It is an “inside job.”   It is at, or near, the top:  Inside the State Department, the Defense Department, the Justice Department, the Federal Reserve, or most insidious of all–the Intelligence Community which by definition hides in the shadows and plays dirty tricks.  The players will be Directors, Deputy Directors, and other job titles that put the person close to the Director level.

I believe to survive as a free country we must identify these people, bring them into daylight, extract confessions of what they did, who they did it with, when they did it, and most important of all, Why they did it.  Then, perhaps we won’t have to drain the swamp; Just clean the swamp.

Because the good news about turnaround guys is that once they find the source and handle it, the stats reverse and the company or organization starts to flourish again.

Simple.   The “ultimate turnaround guy” was hired by the American people who smelled the stench from Washington, DC.   He came in competent and prepared to make things better again.  And now, like my husband, his job is to get them before they get him.

I challenge you to take a look at the current scene again through the eyes of a turnaround person .   Can you see now?

Words Matter–Especially “Conservative”

Published / by Lee Kessler / Leave a Comment

From where I sit, most Americans may miss the real importance of appointments to the Supreme Court, and get caught up instead in political debate.   The culprit which is adding to the confusion, consternation, and hysteria is a simple word:   “Conservative”   And all manner of people on both political sides are using it inappropriately, in my humble opinion, with regard to Justices on the Supreme Court.

More often than not, you hear pundits say, “He is appointing conservative Judges.”  The problem is that in the judicial community, I believe most jurists know what that term means.   But, to the general public and people who are caught up today in the political firestorm engulfing our nation, there is a misunderstanding of the meaning of the word in the judicial context.

In the world of politics, conservative and liberal have distinct meanings relevant to the philosophy of those who call themselves one or the other.   Since we are in a never-ending, politically-charged, 24/7 tsunami of political opinion and positioning in this campaign season, the viewer or reader –on a stimulus-response basis–reacts to the word “conservative” in the political sense.   And they get scared, angry, thrilled, or whatever other emotion comes up, based upon how they feel about political conservatives.

But, I believe in the judicial community, they will use the term “originalist” or “constitutionalist” to refer to justices whose judicial philosophy is that the Constitution is the anchoring document and all evaluations and court decisions should be based upon the original intent of the Constitution and the Founders, as best we can interpret it based upon original writings etc.

Using that term brings the debate where it should be–into whether our laws should be based upon the Constitution, and what the original creators envisioned in order to create a free and lasting form of government, or whether one wants to have the current trends of the society dictate how laws are to be interpreted and/or overturned.   One is an anchor, a foundation upon which to build forward.  One is a changing document, with decisions floating in the current sea.

We could debate that.   Personally, for me, I wouldn’t trust the future of your children or grandchildren to the inhabitants of the swamp today, and the lobbyists who dictate to, and entice, them.   That is way to “situational” an existence for my tastes, and I believe ultimately leads to mob rule and totalitarianism.

But, that is not my point.   The debate should be in the judicial realm, but it is in the hyper-charged political realm because of the sloppy use of the word “conservative.”   People’s reaction to that word can cause the politicizing of the court. or so they fear.   So, they carry their  entrenched political philosophies into the mess, and then wonder how the Judicial Branch has been so compromised.   They assume a justice’s political preference will automatically be how he or she will rule.   And then, they are stunned when their favorite “political” justice rules the opposite.   They feel confused and betrayed.

Words matter.   And I think we all, myself included, should discipline ourselves to stop saying Conservative Justices, and put the word Originalist Justices in its place.   That alone should interrupt the stimulus-response nature of people’s reactions.   It should cause people to pause, look at the term and ask themselves, “what does that term mean?”   What is an Originalist judge?  Do I think that is a good idea?”

It should help preserve the integrity of the Supreme Court, and leave justices free to hold their own political beliefs, and yet be free to adhere to their judicial philosophy–and in most cases not  to make decisions on their feelings or emotions, but on the foundational Constitution and subsequent precedent law.

Just a thought.  And a question or two for you:   Who has a vested interest in conflating politics with justice, and steering us away from the judicial philosophy debate, leaving us mired in our political fears?   Who wants you to doubt the integrity and independence of the third branch of government, rendering it impotent?

I’d love to hear from you.
