They’re Back!

Remember the movie Poltergeist II, with cute little Heather O’Rourke sitting in front of her television, yelling in fear to her parents that the poltergeists had returned. “They’re back,” was one of the scariest lines in horror film history. Because we had seen the first movie, we knew just how awful the ensuing scenes were going to be. We braced ourselves to be traumatized and terrified, having to face yet Round Two with the malicious, deadly pranksters.

Well, brace yourselves America. For the last two weeks you could calmly turn on your TV to watch football, your favorite show, a parade, or even the evening news in some areas and not be tormented by demented cries of “Impeachment!” What a relief it was not to have to listen to our modern day supernatural spirits.

Regrettably, it’s over now. Our reprieve from the horror show in Washington, DC was granted to us by the Congress who went home to enjoy their lives for the holidays, while leaving us dangling and angry. Day by day though it seemed to slip into a memory, as if it were some scene from a nightmare we had awakened from. We may have even talked ourselves into believing that the House of Representatives had not in fact lost its mind.

But, the reprieve was fleeting I am afraid, as fleeting as the famous cease fire on Christmas Eve in the World War I. Sadly, Congress has returned to Washington.

“They’re back!“

What if? A Diabolical Long Game…

Many of you do not know me, or of me. I am not self-congratulating here, but rather setting the stage briefly for a picture and scenario I am looking at right now. I’m the author of the White King Trilogy–a series of political fiction suspense novels that shocked even Intelligence, Military, and Counterterrorism professionals in their accuracy over time.

In June of 2004, I was alarmed at the divisiveness in the country and set about to see what was causing it. I advanced a theory to myself, utilizing my professional acting background, my knowledge of the human mind and behavior, and my marketing background. I began with a “what if” exercise to identity the underlying motivation, and likely strategies and tactics, that one our worst real life enemies might deploy.

The first novel, “White King and the Doctor” revealed things you are living through right now–only it revealed them almost 15 years ago. The books have been regarded as prophetic. Don’t assume that I do not know what I am talking about.

Fortunately in my fiction, Andy Weir, the Grandmaster chess champion, figures out what this real-life, brilliant enemy is doing–what chess moves he would make in his long game to bring us down from within. Not to spoil the surprise, but Andy’s superior chess strategies and ability to “look” into the arena enabled him and his allies to thwart the worst bad guys in the world today.

So, this brings me to the historic Impeachment last night. That was insane enough, but Speaker Pelosi’s refusal then and today to send the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for the trial are causing every commentator and politician in America today to be scratching their heads wondering and/or pontificating about why she’s doing it, what she wants, what she fears etc.

The cliched ones center around her knowing the case is absurd, and not wanting to see an acquittal, her looking for an off-ramp from the farce she acquiesced to, her desire to milk the most she can out of it before it dies. Or that she is buying time for some “Mitt Romney” to raise up insurgents in his own party. This is where my antennae went up, where I think the analysis is too shallow, too simple. Someone is diverting our attention. In chess, this analysis is rather myopic. Too short range. Too few moves that don’t lead to checkmate.

Whatever else Speaker Pelosi may or may not be, she is a very smart tactician, and so I did what I did long ago. I looked at this from a different angle, asked myself “what if?” and “saw” a different picture. There is not time for me to write another novel to expose this one. Buckle up friends. I hope I am wrong, but…

What if: Donald Trump has to be gotten rid of at all costs? What if his world view and successful actions threaten a 70 year plan to reshape an entire world order? And what if the timing of a trial right now–though thought to be desirable when Pelosi expected the public and the polls to turn against the President–would actually be the worst thing for that objective? What could the attackers do to make sure he does not get 4 more years.

Assuming the Speaker now knows that the trial will result in an acquittal, and that her party will not get a do-over in the House, and assuming she knows that even if by some miracle they got a conviction and removal, the President still could run again, as he is entitled to a second term.

Removing him in his first term then does not stop the President from running again (if I understand the Constitution), and being elected again. Remember, what if the goal is to stop him from the next four years?

Just spit-balling here. But, what if she and Shumer shift gears and turn all attention to the Senate for the election ahead? What if those two already know that Trump will get another 4 years, one way or the other? To shoot the wad of the Impeachment in the House, which will cost her in all likelihood the control of the House in 2021, leaves only the Senate as the chamber that could stop him in 2021–NOT 2020.

But to stop him, the Senate has to be flipped to Democrat. Then, a stalled Impeachment Trial would be hastily moved forward, and would be tried in a Democrat-controlled Senate. I think we all know how that would turn out.

At that point, the President would have been elected for his second term–and can not try again. If he is removed early in his second term, he can not come back, and the “deplorables” have no chess move to make. Please get this. If he is acquitted in 2020, he gets re-elected. Even if he is found guilty in 2020 and is removed before Nov. 3, 2020, he gets re-elected. He gets 4 more years and they will have failed to stop him–regardless of the verdict.

PAY ATTENTION HERE FOLKS!

But, if he is found guilty in 2021after commencing his second term, he is removed, and he is gone–with no path back to the White House. Simple game then. She can lose the control of the House. They have already done their part in bringing the Impeachment.

She and others get 4 Republicans to lose their seats, while holding the Democrat Senate count. The Senate then goes to 51 Democrats, 49 Republicans instead of 53 Republicans to 47 Democrats right now.

The trial goes ahead, and on strict party lines, the President is convicted and removed–in her mind sparing the country–and the world–4 more years of the President’s reforms.

If all they need is 4 Senators to lose their seats, that is a winnable game. What if Speaker Pelosi sees the long game, sees a series of chess moves, and foresees checkmate? What if none of this is being done “on the fly” being “made up as they go?” Or even if that did happen, what if the strategist that she is has “looked” down the road, and saw an opportunity to do something that a current trial could never accomplish? Removed now, he comes back at some point. Removed in 2021, he is gone.

If you do not see her make a move to send the Articles over to the Senate in a matter of days, then pay close attention my friends. This is one I would rather be wrong about.

“What if?”…I do not have time to write the novel, juicy though it would be. If any of this resonates, you need to get this Blog, and some of my historical Blogs to people in power, and who have the influence. Get it to the White House, to any talk show host who would understand it. All it takes sometimes is for people to “spot” the attack, to see the “tell” in the con, and they instantly figure out a way to thwart it. The problem with playing with a Grandmaster chess champion is that often the checkmate move was made early on–with many ensuing moves by the unsuspecting opponent–and ultimately the opponent suddenly experiences the ambush and hears the awful word, “Checkmate.”

Is she that good? Are her global handlers that good? I don’t know. But WHAT IF?

“Crossfire Hurricane,” the Dirty Penny!

In June of this year I published the first of two Blogs on Crossfire Hurricane as a preview of coming attractions.   I have reprised it below so that you can read it.  You can read the part two of it for yourselves  (Crossfire Hurricane Revisited)

Deception and Misdirection are tools of the Information Warfare establishment.   Call it Propaganda, Black Propaganda, Opposition Research, Horror stories–call it whatever you want.  Nothing changes the result: a manipulated and hyper-emotional you who can not distinguish fact from fiction, whose reason and emotions are at the effect of the propagandist, and whose level of hopelessness is dragging you down.

This is the stuff I write about in my prophetic fiction that is fact-based.   Today, I have Good News for you!!   Although CNN refused to cover the opening statement of the Horowitz hearing yesterday about his 400 plus page report on abuse of power, and other networks didn’t cover it at all, you can watch the whole hearing.   C-Span should have it.  Don’t rely upon any media outlet such as YouTube.   Go to the government source.

And know that while the fools on the House Judiciary Committee were hammering out the last bit of their putrid attempt to overthrow a President of the United States on grounds that aren’t even crimes, the source of their cancerous hatred was being exposed in the Senate Judiciary Hearing with Horowitz testifying about his report.  It remains to be seen how many Congressmen and women were actually complicit in this, and how many were just unwitting victims of a brilliantly executed, deadly, counter-intelligence hoax run against us.

Word of warning:   Don’t be lazy here!    Don’t rely upon news headlines for their one line summary of the Horowitz report.   Listen to the whole hearing.   Better yet, read the whole report.  If you want to understand “Abuse of Power,” I challenge you to dig deep. This report is only the beginning.   Its release was necessary so the data in it can get folded into the ongoing criminal investigation.   All of the Blogs that I have written that have been political in nature are about to come together at a nexus.   You will have that nexus in about 5-6 months.  All roads do in fact lead to Rome!

For now, refresh your memory with my Crossfire Hurricane Blog, and then go read about the Crossfire Hurricane details in the Horowitz Report, and watch the Dec. 11, 2019 Senate Hearing. It may scare you, it may embarrass you, it may horrify you, it may anger you.   But, it will not bore you.  Truth has a way of surfacing.   Hang on America.   This is the beginning of the final ride on this roller-coaster from hell.

******  CROSSFIRE HURRICANE

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.

Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. President

Americans have an innate sense of fair play I think.   We don’t like one-sidedness, hypocrisy, double standards, subterfuge, and ambushes.  And, I believe we know that if one is being attacked every day of the week, all day, on all sides, and about all subjects, something is wrong–with the attacker.   And, it is probably not all wrong with the guy who is being attacked.  When the attack is too extreme, it is a truth in life that the one launching the attack is in fact guilty of what they are accusing.

This datum is used in investigations to ascertain who has truly done what to whom.   The extreme, hysterical accuser has done to you exactly what he is accusing you of doing.   Good way to quickly identify a culprit and their crime, if you ask me.   I saw my late husband, who was a “turn-around guy,” use this often to locate who was bringing a company down from within.

Which brings me to a present situation. Even the vilest amongst us are treated better than the President of the United States.  So, today I felt compelled to write him a thank you note.   For what?  For being willing to do the job at all.  I was one of the “deplorables”–apparently now, according to the always vituperative Media, a “cult follower”–who felt that dramatic change was needed in Washington.   So, I, and 63 million other Americans sent him to Washington to do something for all of the country.

Here is the email I sent to him today.   It’s just a note.   Just a thank you.  His personality, leadership style, and effectiveness have caused a lot of people to surface who otherwise would have remained hidden for even more decades of decay from within.   For that, I think we should all be profoundly grateful.

“Dear Mr. President,  I want to tell you I am thankful for you, for your leadership, and your courage.  Before, when I last communicated, I told you I was sorry you have to go through this.  But you do.  We picked you on some divine instinct that you would be able to bear up.  Lincoln faced something similar.  And, sadly, we are in a civil war today–philosophically and culturally.  Americans know that, and we picked you to stand in the gap, with us at your back.

I am an 8th generation descendant of a poor man recruited by George Washington to fight in the Revolution.  He did–for land and freedom.  And he survived.  Descendants in my family also served in the Civil War, World War II, and the Korean War.  I am now an author of prophetic, political fiction.   I fight for this great nation and its amazing people with words.

Along the way–and because of what I write about–I was honored and humbled to have been inducted into the Dazzling Daughters of the DAR.  Approximately 130 women in our history have been invited into that remarkable group, including Clara Barton, Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt, Laura Bush.   Every woman served our country in some way.  For me, it was through the arts.

So, Mr. President, here is my Thanksgiving message to you.  You are the bravest man I have ever seen. My ancestors, I know, are cheering you on. Don’t take these attacks personally, no matter how personal they seem.   They are aimed at you, but they are intended for us all.   I think you know this.  None of us could have known it would be this bad, when we decided to drain the Swamp.  But, it is.  You can bear up.  We all can.  The United States of America, and its Constitution will stand.

Again, I am profoundly thankful for you.  Happy Thanksgiving!”

 

 

Nancy Needs A Civics Lesson

Published November 23, 2019 / by Lee Kessler / 3 Comments on Nancy Needs A Civics Lesson
3 Replies

This may come as a shock to anyone but Baby Boomers, but we used to have a class in school called Civics.   We learned about the Constitution, the form of our government, the branches of government etc., and the underlying reasoning behind it all.   The reason?  To insure that we arrived as educated, aware adults, capable of voting with some understanding of who we are, and how things work.

To refresh us just for the purpose of this Blog, there are three branches of government:   The Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch.  They are SEPARATE, BUT EQUAL BRANCHES.  That means that we are not one amalgam, with 3 subdivisions which people can cross-over at will in the performance of the prescribed duties and responsibilities.  No one person wears all three hats.   If serving, you are in one of those branches, and you do not cross over into the Constitutionally identified responsibilities of the others.

Each branch is also EQUAL TO THE OTHERS.  No one branch is senior to the other two.  The Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch are equally important and serve as a check on each other.   In recent years, we have had challenges with one branch trying to assert seniority or supremacy over the other two.   That makes for good drama.   It also results in confusion.

So, Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, is it possible that you never took this class and yet somehow  ended up the Speaker of the House–TWICE?   Or is it possible that you know it, and you are still violating it?   You are a very smart woman, Nancy Pelosi.   You are also a cunning political animal.

Speaker Pelosi has twice become Speaker of the House–the second in line for the Presidency if a President falls.   The Vice President is first.   Should something happen to both President and Vice President, the Speaker becomes President.  That position is a great accomplishment for any person, and I am not criticizing that she achieved that.

What I am challenging is this:   Speaker Pelosi apparently thinks she also runs the Executive Branch, and that she is senior to the Judicial Branch as well.   Here are 4 examples which lead me to believe that Nancy needs a Civics Lesson.

In 2007, Speaker Pelosi of the Legislative Branch–on her own authority and with the strong disagreement of the President in the Executive Branch–set up a personal diplomatic mission with Bashar al-Assad of Syria.   She felt the foreign policy set by the President and his Secretary of State was not right, and she decided to engage in foreign policy talks of her own–thereby interfering in the foreign policy efforts of the Administration at the time.   Foreign Policy is set by the President of the United States and his State Department.   Both the President and the State Department are in the Executive Branch.

I know this seems remedial to some of you.   But, apparently not to some Americans.   The House of Representatives is in the Legislative Branch.   So, Speaker Pelosi asserted the supremacy of the Legislative Branch, and inserted herself into the Executive Branch.

That’s bad enough, but she did it again.   Last month, in 2019, after she once again became Speaker of the House, she disagreed with the President’s foreign policy decisions relevant to Syria and our military.   So, she, and a few other legislators that she chose, initiated their own diplomatic mission to create their own foreign policy.   In doing so, she usurped the authority of the Secretary of State and the President of the United States.   Not good, Nancy.   Remember the “separate but equal” stuff in the Constitution you swore to uphold and defend?

They first went to Jordan, thinking they would be welcomed.   Instead, they were rebuffed when the King of Jordan informed them that he agreed with the current US foreign policy.   The delegation returned home I believe, and I am quite sure that the Media did not cover that little fiasco.

There’s more.   In the last week, she has really usurped the authority of both the Executive and the Legislative branches, as well as the constitutionally protected authority of We the People.

The Speaker of the House has apparently concluded that YOU should not choose the fate of the current and future presidents.   She was asked why not let the people decide during the election?   Why impeach when in a few months the American citizens will decide, as we have for over 200 years?  Her response?   That this was too dangerous or important to leave to the voters.   After all, I guess she assumes we Americans of all parties are just too dim to be entrusted with an intelligent vote.

Then, just a few days later, after challenges occurred in the Impeachment Hearings and she was asked how the issues which were being taken to the courts relevant to subpoenas, executive privilege, witnesses, evidence etc. would effect the Impeachment timeline, she responded authoritatively that they (the small Intelligence Committee of the Legislative Branch) were not going to be delayed at all by pesky legal issues.  (The word “pesky” is my choice of words and reveals my disdain for her disdain.)   Point of fact, she said, they were not going to be at the “mercy of the courts.”   They were just going ahead anyway–right now and in a hurry. (legal issues and precedents be damned.)

In those four examples alone, I find that Speaker Nancy Pelosi usurped the authority of the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch.   She apparently does not feel they are separate, let alone equal.   She apparently feels they are all under her authority.  One branch of government, all controlled by Nancy Pelosi.

And that, my friends, is a “fine kettle of fish,” as my educator father used to say.  I believe you know all of this.   You studied Civics.   But, somewhere along the line we lost control of our government.   Perhaps we put it on automatic while we were busy living our lives, working, playing, using social media to find out what the “jones’s” are doing.   Perhaps we trusted we could let the Congress take care of our business.

Well, in my opinion, it is time to wake up.   The Legislative Branch is clearly at war with the other two branches in a power struggle for supremacy.   It’s time to give Nancy a Civics lesson to remind her of what she learned long ago, but apparently forgot.  She is not going to run the Oval Office, the State Department, the Justice Department, the Defense Department, or the Courts.  She can have opinions, and create laws that influence those areas, but she can not unilaterally, on her own authority, usurp the authority of those other branches.

That, Nancy, is the true definition of abuse of power.
