Secretive elites guide our government leaders, according to my new book, Presidential Puppetry: Obama, Romney, and Their Masters, published over the July Fourth holiday in paperback and EBook editions.

Puppetry exposes the nefarious deeds of today’s puppet masters and their government minions. The 500-page book documents their arrogance, deepest secrets, brutal methods, and ongoing threat to the American way of life.

The first book in print to analyze the Obama second-term is also one of the first to examine the 2012 elections. Puppetry reveals the disloyalty of CIA Director David Petraeus, Karl Rove’s attempt to rig 2012 election results, and as-yet unreported scandals among top second-term Obama appointees.

More generally, Puppetry documents how President Obama has hidden vital parts of his background. He worked for a CIA front company in his first job out of college. That work and the connections of his long-lost lover cast a new light on Obama’s other secrets, including his Wall Street-friendly policies that help Republican leaders impose austerity on the public despite Obama’s victorious campaign in 2012.

My research draws on diverse sources from across the political spectrum, as well as my experiences. I reveal that my late mother — Margaret Kreig, a World War II Marine volunteer and best-selling author — was a covert CIA asset in 1972 when the Chinese government issued a rare invitation for her to visit the Communist nation as a VIP.

 The CIA and NSA’s pervasive activities need to be discussed more far openly. Accountability is  especially necessary when spy agencies beholden to private sector titans and their contractors use the immense surveillance powers for the elite’s narrow political and  money-making goals.

Beyond the headlines in the surveillance scandal that broke in June 2013, the book documents also the immense dangers posed to the public by Obama and Bush on the secret spying that is reported to capture all electronic communications of all Americans for storage and potential use later.

Puppetry reveals also information suppressed by the mainstream media about the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. The pattern shows how independent reporting about law enforcement, national security, and military operations is becoming vastly more difficult, endangering democracy.

 This book unfolds like a mystery story. I describe scattered, troubling clues that led, step by step, to deeply disturbing findings.

By the end, I show proof of Orwellian control tactics over government officials. Reprisals include political frame-ups, sexual blackmail, and financial ruin. The tactics instill fear in independent officials of far worse treatment, including death.

Puppetry is documented with 1,200 endnotes. The sourcing makes it essential reading for civic groups, serious commentators — and every individual who cares deeply about freedom and the future.

The scandals reported in Puppetry provide a clear path to reform. The facts sweep away the false histories and partisan posturing that dominates current political discourse.  Experts understand the stakes, as reflected in the powerful endorsements the book is receiving.

Join this dialog. Entertain yourself with real-life political and spy intrigues. Better yet, fight for the country you remember and want to sustain.
