Has DA Alvin Bragg inadvertently created an alliance between African-Americans and Donald Trump?

Has DA Alvin Bragg inadvertently created an alliance between African-Americans and Donald Trump? What a question!

Though this would likely be the farthest thing from his mind, and completely contrary to his intentions in his unjust and unethical indictment of a former President and front-runner in an upcoming Presidential election, Alvin Bragg may have just forged an alliance that would have been considered unlikely, if not impossible, before last Tuesday.

Many do not realize that in the election of 2020, then-President Trump picked up significant percentages of voters amongst minorities that historically don’t vote for Republican candidates. His popularity amongst African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asians was rising in all categories. Talk about forgotten men and women. Those are people that the Democrats view as a cinch for them. It never occurred to them that those groups are comprised of individuals—not voting blocks who swim like a school of fish. And, as the smart, common sense people they are, those voters were noticing something.

They noticed that Trump funded, for the long term, the Historically Black Colleges and Universities, eliminating those fine institutions from having to come begging every year for funding. He lowered the unemployment rate amongst African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asian-Americans to the lowest point in history. If my memory serves me, he further raised the wages and incomes in each of these categories significantly, using his economic policies in an attempt to raise everyone into the middle class, and to increase household incomes.

In a multi-pronged approach to the crisis in our inner cities, he brought school choice and school vouchers to the table, making it possible for young boys and girls who might be trapped in inadequate educational systems to have a chance at a good education and better life. And he was putting that into the hands of the parents. Until the election of 2020.

Coupled at the same time were his initiatives to bring business, money, and job opportunities into those same communities, making it possible for the neighborhoods to prosper, and for future generations to have a true place in our country.

Even more importantly as I watched him listen to the issues brought before him about the Justice System, and its unfairness to blacks and minorities, he was creating prison sentencing reform—not by just willy-nilly releasing hardened and violent offenders as is happening in many cities today—but by working to get the prison sentences proportionate to the crime in the first place.

Many did not get the word on any of this, since Big Media didn’t want to cover the possibility that someone could actually be raised up, given that the controlling politicians make money and win elections by keeping a people oppressed. Many did get the word, however, and I believe that contributed to his steady rise in voters from those groups.

But there was one area for sure that African-Americans in particular continually rail against. That is what they refer to as “unequal justice under the law.” Though there are likely many grievances, two stand out to me. One is the perceived prejudice against a person because of his skin color and economic strata. The second is the over-charging of individuals who really can’t defend themselves in the court system, where public defenders may not provide adequate defense. That leads to higher conviction numbers of excessively charged crimes, resulting in excessive sentencing. And, in my opinion, it has opened the door to fears of persecution by our Justice system, and to manipulation by people who benefit from citizen against citizen.

I am not here to debate that, but just to point out a perception that is widely embraced, and which is hindering the prosperity of our great nation. It is also destroying our humanity.

Then along comes Alvin Bragg, who has just now, with bias and malice aforethought persecuted the exact opposite type of citizen: an older white male who is wealthy, and who nonetheless has been hounded relentlessly, treated constantly with a double standard, “pulled over” and “searched” for just being there, and now excessively charged. Misdemeanor elevated to felony with no statement of the related felony. One charge multiplied 34 times it seems to exaggerate the alleged threat of the person charged. And consecutive sentencing—if convicted—of over 100 years.

And in so doing I believe Alvin Bragg will be “hoisted by his own petard”—unintentionally bringing together two formerly unlikely bedfellows. Those being the African-American community that has been long-suffering and the white guy who was enacting policies designed to help in those arenas. No one on either side is perfect. But common sense citizens I believe can still recognize when someone else is being mistreated, and that it is not all about color.

I believe we have an innate sense of fair play as American citizens, and we do struggle and resist when we see unfair, unequal treatment under the law. Donald J. Trump had an intellectual understanding for sure about the problems in the system. He no doubt had empathy. But, until his arrest, it was not visceral or personal. Now he understands at a level that no other President or other-wise interested, albeit a bit sanctimonious, politicians understand.

This is no longer about only black people being mistreated, or the poor. When it crossed into the current charges and legal battles, it transcended the arena the manipulators play in. They wanted it to be about powerful politicians against other powerful wealthy people—with the victory occurring on some elevated plane. And they wanted it to be about impoverished minorities on a lower plane.

But Bragg’s actions have breached the divider between the privileged and the unprivileged. He has torn open a hole, revealing the problem is not really about color or education. It is about corruption, ambition, and complete disregard for the nation as a whole. For the first time white Americans who may have intellectually understood and debated the plight of their fellow citizens, without viscerally understanding it, are now witnessing unequal justice under the law happening to them.

Americans have always come together when there is a common enemy. Remember how we were after 9/11? If there is no common enemy—in either person or ideology—we tend to drift and just wave at each other’s dilemmas without joining forces. Well, Alvin Bragg may have just created a common enemy—unequal justice under the law—which transcends now and hereafter color, ethnicity, education, wealth, and much more. And in so doing, two groups who want to be in harmony but have not attained the higher levels we are capable of, may now be looking not at each other as the source of their burdens, but rather at hate-filled corrupt men and women who would suppress and repress their fellow countrymen–no matter their color.

Now that, to me, is a cause worthy of uniting us. And it may provide to this Presidential candidate the empathy and support of people who know exactly how he feels, and more importantly, who now know he knows exactly how they feel. That alliance, if the individuals who are aware of what I just said unite, will change politics, the nation, and the history of our people forever. Wouldn’t it be deliciously ironic if the malevolent Bragg brought about the uniting of the minority communities, who frankly have been taken for granted by the people they have voted for, and the would-be President who formerly tried to help. Personally, I love irony! And I despise injustice, anywhere, anytime. How about you?

While We Look to the Skies, a Cancer Metastasizes

Since last week, the Media and the American public have been mesmerized and absorbed by the aerial phenomena occurring over the homeland, meaning the sovereign territory of the United States. It is non-stop coverage and will likely remain so for several weeks. Important as it is, it is nonetheless a diversion to distract from some very important hearings going on in Washington, D.C.—especially those related to abuse of power, and possible collusion over the last three years between the FBI, Big Tech, and Social Media relevant to possible election interference, and manipulation of the public’s perception. Not to mention hearings about the chaos and disintegration of our Southern border.

Even more insidious though is the fact that while we look wherever we are told to look, a “cancer” has metastasized in the United States—threatening the Heartland of our great nation. By that, I mean those states that do not border the Atlantic or Pacific oceans.

A few weeks ago I wrote a commentary about California being the prototype for all social and cultural attacks upon our country and its values. It was my contention that one should watch all things that are implemented in California, with the expectation that they will soon be spreading to other parts of the country—”coming to a theater near you.” One of the examples was a “universal Income” experiment going on in a section of Los Angeles where the citizens are being compensated an extra $1000 or so a month because they are disadvantaged in some way. Another is proposed reparations. If you follow the news, you know by now that those “ideas” are spreading to other states like Massachusetts, New York etc.

But now, a “cancer” that we have all had our attention on for at least the last two years has metastasized and is growing and spreading into areas you never considered. We have all watched the parents in Loudoun County, Va fight valiantly to regain control of the curriculum their children are being exposed to. They have been maligned, called domestic terrorists, and vilified as they continue their battle to regain control of their children’s education. It is a reflection of how dire the situation has become when a battle has begun about parental rights with children versus the government’s rights with children. One belongs universally in the column of free nations, the other in the column of communist or totalitarian nations.

Well, brace yourselves. My home is in Montana. It is a magnificent state with a rich history. It is referred to as “God’s Country” and “The Last Best Place.” I moved here from California in 2002, fulfilling a lifelong dream. What I am about to say is relevant to every citizen in Montana, and more importantly, to every citizen in this country—especially those states considered the Heartland, those states that do not border an ocean, and who most often reflect traditional and conservative values.

As an author of prescient political fiction, I am accustomed to people bringing to me stories and proof of what I have written about in my novels. For more than 15 years enthusiastic followers have done what I call “confirming research” by revealing that what I wrote about has now happened. I have grown comfortable to a degree with my books playing out in the real world. But nothing could have prepared me for what I just learned. The following is anecdotal.

In a city near me, a city with only one school district that I am aware of, a scene I speculated upon in “White King and the Seat at the Table,” and which I thought really stretched credulity for the state of Montana, appears to have now occurred in the real world.

A school Principal/Superintendent was hired from California. (That should be your first alarm bell.) At first the individual appeared to be a good addition to the district. By the second year however I am told they announced to the teachers that they were removing History from the curriculum, and replacing it with Humanities. These are two distinct disciplines, and you can probably guess where this is headed.

Shortly after, portraits of Washington and Lincoln were arbitrarily removed from the Kindergarten classroom, to be destroyed. Both portraits were salvaged by a teacher. Next, all teachers were told they were not to say “boys” and “girls” but to refer to everyone as a genderless “friends” category because the administration felt children were too young to really know yet what sex they were, and should not be called a boy or a girl. Books were introduced in the elementary school showing and discussing sex and sexuality.

Teachers who stood up and fought back against this perversion of education models and standards were ostracized, threatened, isolated, and eventually fired or forced to quit. Their “union” folded in the face of the possibility of filing suit against the District by saying that since previous claims of misconduct had been denied, theirs would not be taken seriously either.

This “cancer” persisted however. Even when the teachers who stood up were no longer employed by the school, they were purportedly blacklisted and prevented from getting new jobs in their chosen field, even blacklisted and vilified in new, lesser jobs in the community. Secretly parents and business owners agreed with them, and gave them the thumbs up. But no one has had the courage to stand up and fight this “cancer” in the education system. Given what I write about, I know they fear for their own jobs or businesses.

This is one of the symptoms of Fascism—a populace that is too cowed to fight back. A populace that has succumbed. Free speech and the right to protest have died. Anyone who may attempt to will be cancelled and censored.

The Principal in question has left—and no one knows where they have gone. I personally would suspect they have returned to California, mission accomplished. However, they have been replaced by someone they knew from California. To my beloved fellow Montanans, said to you by one who chose to leave the state of California, and embrace the spirit of Montana, you are now in Stage Four. In the world of medicine, when a cancer has left its original site, and metastasized, it is now known as Stage Four. Generic treatment of the cancer is no longer as effective. When the source of the cancer is detected, then precise treatments that are known to destroy it are developed. Blanket cancer treatment often misses the target, or hits the wrong target. But location of the real source opens the door for a targeted treatment regimen.

And I would say to everyone of my fellow countrymen, the “cancer” has spread to you too. But, if you do not identify the actual source of it, you will not be able to defeat it. You will engage in arduous protracted battles, and eventually succumb. Knowing the source, you have some hope. And that is why you must watch ALL cultural and social experiments that arise in California. In the name of Democracy, they are the true threat to our democracy. As one who spent years in Hollywood, I can assure you this crew knows Public Relations, and how to manipulate even the sanest in America.

If this shocked you that it could occur in MONTANA, then know that none of us are safe. This malignancy has taken hold. We are in the fight of our lives. For, if the Heartland of the United States falls, the United States falls. And, if the United States falls, freedom and self-governance around the world fall.

The Fifth Column and the Republican Party

Published January 3, 2023 / by Lee Kessler / 1 Comment on The Fifth Column and the Republican Party

In the early 2000’s I began the journey that led to the 4 part series of suspense novels, culminating in the final book, “White King and the Seat at the Table.” Inspired by actual events that had peaked my curiosity, causing me to want to locate the source of the apparent collapse of America from within, I theorized there was an actual group—intent upon taking dominion globally. I asked myself, “What if a group of people wanted to take control of the world and its inhabitants? What would they do? Who would they have to defeat or destroy in order to accomplish their dominance?

My conclusion was that the obstacle standing in their path—the great experiment that liberated men—was the United States. And the American people were the underpinning of all that the United States represents. In order to render the United States impotent, I theorized this enemy would have to undermine the people themselves. And, more importantly, get the American people to do it to themselves.

The strategy is simple. It is as old as any military strategy that exists. Divide and Conquer. Through the centuries generals and armies have used this strategy to defeat an otherwise formidable opponent. Only this time, the Divide and Conquer strategy is being implemented through psychological warfare. You may call it Information Warfare. No matter the terms from the past, today propaganda and psychological warfare have evolved into Perception Management. Information and disinformation are pitted against one another in order to manipulate your perceptions, and thereby your conclusions and actions. This simple marketing strategy in the hands of power-hungry, arrogant men and women has brought the United States to its knees.

I am sure none of us doubts that America is a nation that is divided—right straight down the middle. The last two election cycles will have disabused even the most ardent deniers of the reality that Americans have two different universes they are living in now, and those universes are at war with each other.

The ongoing Twitter revelations have exposed this Perception Management in its most grotesque and dangerous light—harassment, censorship, collusion, and manipulation of data to manage the perceptions and actions of American citizens.

The very important question politically right now is: How was this division done? The answer: By inserting a Fifth Column not only into the United States, but most importantly into each of the foundational institutions we anchor on: Family, Religion, Education, Justice, even Government. There is a Fifth Column within each of those, and within subsets of each of those. A Fifth Column is defined as: any group of people who undermine a larger group or nation from within, usually in favor of an enemy group or another nationl It is comprised of domestic actors who work to undermine the national interest, in cooperation with external rivals of the state. And you, my friends, must come to understand this, or the Fifth Column will continue to erode government, morals, ethics, education, family values, individual identity, rule of law etc. There is an external enemy.

You may ask, why am I laying this out now? Can’t you just read my books to get an insight into how this might play out? You could. The novels are the allegorical story of this external rival and the internal Fifth Column over the last 20 years. I encourage you to do that. But, time is short, and there is one particular Fifth Column that I am sure exists. And it is hamstringing our Legislative Branch. That Fifth Column is not inside the Democrat Party. They are almost like a Fifth Column of their own, hell-bent on sabotaging the Constitution, sowing division wherever they go. However, they are overt and predictable. A true Fifth Columnist will be covert, unpredictable, and most typically embraced as a friend. That is why those involved are hard to ferret out. And it will always be a surprise when you find out who they actually are.

The Fifth column I am referring to is one inside the Republican Party. Of course, that is just my opinion. But you should ask yourself why the Republican Party can not get unanimity on key issues. Why do they have the unnerving capability of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory at almost every turn. Witness the embarrassing inability to elect a Speaker of the House. Witness the disappointing performance overall in the 2022 elections. Witness the acceptance of the monstrosity known as the Omnibus Bill. Who could possibly be encouraging members of their group to vote for a 3000 page document that no one has likely read, to spend an additional $1.7T? Who could possibly have failed to stall the vote until the new Congress would come in? Why would they not delay?

Here’s my challenge to fellow conservatives: Who is perhaps speaking self-righteously right now, as they encourage actions that would divide and weaken the party further? In “Julius Ceasar” the soothsayer said, “Beware the Ides of March.” Well, I’d like to say, “Beware the ‘Stand on Principle’ pitch.” Standing on principle is important, but it is also a propaganda button used to manage your perceptions. Who actually is being served if the Republican Party has been divided? Who seduced and compromised enough members to embarrass and discredit the party itself? Moreover, who is the enemy group or nation that these trusted members are serving?

The answer, as repugnant as it may be to you, or shocking to you, lies in this overarching reality: human nature. Why does a mayor run for governor? Why does a governor run for President? And what does a President, or top-echelon government official, run for? What’s the next rung of the ladder they are climbing? It used to be that being President of the United States was the pinnacle of power, accomplishment, and leadership. But, is that true today? Or is there yet another echelon of power?

We need to ask those who are being divisive, “ Who are you really serving—wittingly or unwittingly?”

Who and where are the external enemy groups, whose favor they curry? Who intends to exert authority over all of us, and who views themselves as senior to, not just us, but also our elected officials, and our Constitution itself? It is these people that some of our trusted leaders pay homage to. It is their favor they curry.

Here’s a hint to locate not only those who have been conned into destructive acts, but, more importantly, to ferret out those trusted allies who actually conned them: They leave a verbal breadcrumb trail. Listen now. Look for those whose verbiage includes such things as Global Peace, Global Security (Zelensky before our Congress) , Global Health, Global Justice, Global Climate Change Initiatives, Global Digital Currencies, Global Energy Policies.

The purveyors of globalism are the antagonists in my latest book. Those characters are as real as it gets, however. And unless we get very expert at ferreting out the Fifth Columnists in each of our institutions, our families, our churches, our schools, and our government will continue to erode until we no longer resemble our former selves—as a people and as a nation. I recommend we stop asking ourselves the questions, “Why would our leaders fail to protect the country?” Why would they do something so stupid? Why are they doing or not doing…?”

The answer does not so much lie in why . The answer lies in the question, “Who are they in fact serving?”

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.”
