FORWARD, By CYRIL H. WECHT, M.D., J.D. PRESIDENTIAL PUPPETRY: Obama, Romney and Their Masters is strongly recommended for every U.S. citizen. Andrew Kreig's new book presents a fascinating, no-holds-barred analysis of our national candidates within the context of a brilliant courageous, factually documented discussion of the unethical, illegal, ruthless vendettas engineered by 
governmental agencies against various political figures in recent years. >> The flagrant, unbridled abuse of governmental power by the DOJ and FBI in attempting to destroy an individual ~~ (financially, professionally, socially, and sometimes physically) for personal and political reasons, and to an extent that is grossly disproportionate to any alleged act of criminality ~~ is the hallmark of a totalitarian government. >> Once a victim has been targeted, there are not limits to the amount of time, energy, money, and use of personnel that the Feds will employe to pursue and persecute that individual. No charge will be considered too petty or important in their efforts to coerce the victim into pleading guilty to avoid the frightening possibility fo a lengthy jail term.

"Select the victim / search for the crime" is a deplorable, dangerous prosecutorial tactic that all decent, fair-minded American citizens ~~ liberal Democrats or conservative Republicans ~~ need to let their voices be heard in denouncing, castigating, and rejecting. >> This provocative expose by Andrew Kreig is a clarion call for every American who firmly cherishes a belief of personal liberty within a just a democratic society.

PRESIDENTIAL PUPPETRY Andrew Kreig >> My column for the Justice Integrity Project, http://www.justice-integrity.org/ “Cutting Through Hype, Hypocrisy of Vote Fraud Claims,” analyzed (and listed with hot links) leading books, news articles, and allegations in this field. The conclusion was, “Recent events show why election theft deserves much more scrutiny than it receives from either government officials or news reporters.”54 Also, I advocated grand jury investigations for conspiracy, an end to the news blackout by traditional media, and a return to verifiable paper ballots. >> I am far from alone in this. Fitrakis and Wasserman argued that the Romney campaign drew on Bush-Rove blueprints from the 2004 election to win the 2012 by voter suppression and electronic voting fraud.55 Greg Palast, meanwhile, was doing everything possible to alert the public to the dangers of electronic voting fraud.56 >> As for George Bush, a man who had once reached 91 percent approval in the polls left office with a 22 percent rating. That is surely the greatest comedown in United States political polling history. He wrote a forgettable memoir, Decision Points, and raised funds for his presidential library.57 >> His name and legacy were virtually ignored at the 2012 GOP National Convention in Tampa. Bush himself lives in a gated community in Dallas. He no longer pretends to enjoy cutting brush at his ranch in Crawford. 124 >> Karl Rove would carry on, however, with an election fraud scheme for 2012 so audacious that it loomed as Mitt Romney’s greatest hope. 125
Chapter 9 ~ George W.: Shameless, Heartless,and Selected-Not Elected >> This chapter describes how threats to 2012 elections are rooted in the frauds that enabled Bush’s two terms and their disastrous governance. Corruption, zealotry, and incompetence helped devastate the nation’s economy, foreign affairs, justice system, and constitutional protections. Yet key players on the Bush team quietly reassembled under the Romney banner with high hopes of governing the country once again, beginning in 2013. Voter suppression and other dirty tricks would be the secret weapon for 2012, just as it had been for previous victories. >> Dr. Justin Frank, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist based in Washington, is the author of Bush on the Couch, a best-selling remote diagnosis in 2004. In evaluating Bush (albeit from afar), Frank saw dangerous signs in the young man’s upbringing by a busy father and a cold, discipline-oriented mother.6 Frank reports that George vividly recalled hearing of his sister’s death from leukemia when he was six.7 Frank found it significant that young George was never told she was ill, and that the family held no funeral for her. Frank’s method of reading psychiatric significance into such events is controversial, to be sure. Even more so are his conclusions: >> At first, George W.’s attempts to rival his father’s accomplishments were largely unsuccessful. His limited intellectual capacity doomed his chances of achieving the level of academic distinction his father achieved at Andover and Yale, and he had to settle for the cheerleading squad at the prep school where his father was a varsity star.8 >> Frank goes on to find evidence from other sources that young George’s lifelong conflicts made him a deeply disturbed man. “Bush has a specific attitude to reality – he changes his perception of events, applying his internal spin system, and if that doesn’t work he changes the rules by which reality itself is defined.”9 Remote “diagnosis” can be derided as suspect at the minimum. Frank’s conclusions are similar to those of other critics in print and on the nation’s airwaves.10 >>
Part II: Romney Henchmen, Enablers, and Fellow Puppets
‘‘We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality —judiciously, as you will —we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.’’ >> — President George W. Bush’s senior White House aide, reputedly Karl Rove, in mid-2002 126 >>
Chapter 10 >> Karl Rove: A Frightening Fraud
As Election Day neared for the fall of 2012, Karl Rove emerged as the nation’s most important Republican in public life, aside from the true money-men behind the scenes. Rove could tap into funding sources as well as anyone, and also carried a unique combination of media skills, government experience, and contacts along with the all-important passion to win. In the aggregate, Rove dwarfed the clout of Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus. In day-to-day terms, Rove has arguably surpassed in unpopularity the inactive and unpopular George W. Bush, and the flawed, mistake-prone aspirant Mitt Romney. Niccol Machiavelli,1 author of The Prince, was the world’s first great political advisor, describing the world as it was, not as it should be. Yet the Italian died without seeing his insights implemented by a powerful leader. Rove, who has worked in 2012 to see his third president elected, is America’s leading counterpart in the dark arts >> The Making of America’s Machiavelli >> Karl Christian Rove was born in 1950 in Denver, and reared in a broken home in Colorado and Utah.2 A self-described “nerd” in high school in Utah, he attended several colleges without graduating. Unusually hard-working and creative, he found his niche in the early 1970s with College Republicans, a national group of fellow activists. Unger describes their style as follows: >> Nixon was president, and the College Republicans perfected the ‘rat-fucking’ techniques of the Watergate era, as Donald Segretti famously called them. There were false press releases or “leaked documents” bearing the names of Democratic rivals, jammed phone lines, spying on opponents, purloined speeches, hired “rioters” and activists planted in enemy camps, and push polls in which volunteer pollsters hunkered down in phone banks for hour after hour, disseminating disinformation and smears about opponents.3 >> .. he dated and ultimately married a College Republican colleague, Valerie Wainwright >> leaders of College Republicans were mostly men. They forged bonds and developed candidate strategies (including family values and gay-bashing) that would keep many of them prominent in conservative circles for decades. This success occurred even though a high proportion of the group’s leaders, even the married ones, are reported to have been active for years in Washington’s gay and bisexual scene. The hypocrisy was kept hidden by the conventional media. In recent years, it has become a topic of vast commentary enabled by Internet communications as central figures became prominent righteous opponents of extra-marital sex, including during the Clinton impeachment.

The hypocrisy was kept hidden by the conventional media. In recent years, it has become a topic of vast commentary enabled by Internet communications as central figures became prominent righteous opponents of extra-marital sex, including during the Clinton impeachment.
>> In 2010, the 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court decision Citizen United v. Federal Elections Commission found that corporations have civil rights comparable to individuals, and thus cannot be restricted any longer by campaign finance law.30 Stewart Hall, a Rove ally with Alabama roots, promptly created American Crossroads.31 An affiliate, Crossroads GPS, later provided the benefits of tax-exemption to donors seeking to win elections under IRS rules designed for non-partisan civic groups.32 The Crossroads fundraising elevates Rove to a unique position of power. He does not simply counsel Republican candidates. He funds them in scope rivaling the Republican National Committee. As a political pundit, Rove was awarded press credentials to the Democratic National Convention, and his opinion is widely sought by all major news organizations. >> Globally, Karl Rove and company were active in major countries around the globe on sensitive issues including national intelligence work.33 For example, I helped break the story that Rove has for years advised the conservative, governing party in Sweden.34 This is significant in view of Sweden’s trumped-up investigation of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on claims by two Swedish women who say he crossed their boundaries after they invited him, separately, to sleep with them when he travelled Sweden to speak in 2010.
>> Sweden spent vast sums to extradite Assange for additional questioning without even formal charges. As feminist Naomi Wolf argues, such a manhunt is unparalleled globally and virtually inexplicable – except for the Swedish government’s record of cooperation with the CIA, and the mutual goals of governments and traditional media to thwart unauthorized WikiLeaks revelations. As of this writing, Ecuador has provided Assange refuge in its embassy in London to avoid his extradition to Sweden and potentially from there to the United States.
Further research, however, suggests that the Assange and WikiLeaks stories are far more complicated than commonly believed by either his attackers or fans. He appears to have been an asset of Western intelligence at times in his career, putting into the public domain a mix of approved disinformation along with enough sensational revelations to make him vulnerable as a suspected cyber terrorist.35 The full story is beyond this book’s scope, but is worth exploring more deeply. 134
