Thinking outside the box, May 18, 2005
Reviewer: RVT Writer - See all my reviews
Georgiana Preskar has taken an incredible amount of time researching a vast number of subjects that she believes needed to be explored, and in some cases, exposed.
I picked up her book and read it cover to cover, finding it difficult to put down. I found the material incredibly informative, captivating and well written.
The book may be centered around Elk Grove, California and the small town that it once was, however, the issues that are raised are germaine and generic to every parent, student and school district in the United States.
Georgiana has just been brave enough to stand up for what she believe to be the moral decay of our society through the destruction of our innocent children.
Anyone reading this book will come away with at least one new revelation or area of concern that will end up being looked into further. Aren't our children worth saving? After all, they are our future, unless we allow forces of influence outside the home to influence them in ways that occur because we did not want to think for just a moment, outside of the box.
Thank you, Mrs. Preskar, for taking this stand for future generations!

Georgiana Preskar, a registered nurse and mother, has honored the nurturing and caregiving inherent in both roles by authoring this insightful and controversial book.
Preskar integrates personally experienced local events in her small town with totalitarian history and a growing awareness of both the homosexual agenda and cultural warfare now engulfing the United States. She does this with an unselfconscious writing style that I find personal and refreshing; an intellectual would call it amateurish. This is the journal of a newly minted activist. It reads like an autobiography of a discrete crisis period in her life, with the crisis being the forced awareness of very dark and very real undercurrents in her society: the multicultural SEED program creeping into local schools. Hollywood might call it, "Wholesome Mom, Interrupted". She does a wonderful job of pulling together an intellectual explanation of her crisis and her fight to protect her society from its source.
Totalitarians long have understood: control the children, control the future. Gramsci in his "Prison Notebooks" explained that the CULTURE must be deconstructed before totalitarianism could win POLTITICAL control. Hegel promulgated neurolinguistic techniques for controlling thought and dialogue. Preskar, clearly not an academic "intellectual", grasps for understanding of these malevolent forces and their real, destructive impact on our children and culture. Americans will oppose these forces, for they are being imposed surreptitiously and without discussion by people with a distinctly totalitarian agenda. She does a fine job of pulling these ivory tower constructs down to Everymom's level. For those following the culture wars, Seeds of Deception: Planting Destruction of America's Children, belongs on your bookshelf next to Diversity (Peter Wood), The Burden of Bad Ideas (Heather MacDonald), and A Conflict of Visions (Thomas Sowell).

When I began reading the "Seeds Of Deception" by Georgiana Preskar, I was immediately turned off by the alarming, panicky tone that is evident in her chapters. I jumped to the conclusion that she was over reacting to subjects being taught to our children in our schools. Who wouldn't want their children to learn how to accept others, respect their difference, not be bullies and get along with everyone? Boy was I wrong!
Ms. Preskar points out how our society has allowed itself to be gradually brainwashed in to accepting a "No Values" system. Right and wrong no longer exist. They have been replaced a twisted acceptance of everything being right and moral absolutes are extinct. Ms. Preskar tells of the process of her eyes being opened to deceptive methods used by the politically correct community that are rapidly changing our society's core values.
Whether or not you know it, our children have been taught that they must not only tolerate the homosexual lifestyle, they must accept it, and embrace it. Our schools are changing curriculum to include these ideals into many aspects of education and at very young ages. When did allowing homosexual individuals to `come out of the closet' without repercussions mutate into affirming homosexual's choices, allowing them to express their sexual flamboyance in public, and encouraging experimenting with the lifestyle choices at early ages? Who gave permission for this madness?
Tolerance (to recognize other people's right to have different beliefs or practices without an attempt to suppress them) only works one way in our society. We must tolerate the homosexual life style. However, homosexuals do not tolerate our beliefs. The homosexual activists are working very hard and are succeeding in suppressing the beliefs of the majority of American people that marriage is between a man and a woman and that our children should not be indoctrinated with diversity and homosexual education.
Although I initially rejected the tone of Ms. Preskar's book, I eventually found my eyes being opened to the alteration of our society. I appreciated historical references to societies in the past and how they fell into the trap our country is falling into today. I did enjoy her many references to conservative leaders in radio, television, and political world that I listen to and read about daily. I originally thought `this is not happening in my back yard', however, after doing a bit of research I find that it is in my back yard and in everyone's yard. Although I don't agree with everything Ms. Preskar writes in "Seeds of Deception", I find her book very informative on the principles the homosexual movement espouse, the deceptive methods they are perpetrating, and the changes our society has gone through over the past two decades. It is alarming the speed in which the metamorphosis has occurred, leading to a compelling reason for the panic in Ms. Preskar's writing.
Hello Georgiana,
Mike here. I met you Saturday morning at Capital Christian Center
after the God-fearing leaders seminar. You also gave me several blank
petitions for the initiative to restrict sex-related instruction in pubic schools.
I bought your book, and it's been tough to put down. I'm on Chapter 19 (the Homosexual Manifesto), and have spent a good portion of the 3-day weekend reading your work. Bless her heart; my wife Donna has been very understanding.
Georgiana, I thank God for your work. I remember vividly many of the events in Elk Grove that you write about. I remember the Silent Day in Elk Grove, hearing about it on Hogue's show. Though I don't live there, I even called the school to voice my displeasure. But that's all I could do, though I felt my voice should be heard.
What you've done, Georgiana, is speak exactly to what myself and I know thousands of others have thought about but felt powerless to do anything about. As I mentioned on Saturday, my Mother recognized some of this stuff 30 years ago and stood as a lone parent in the doorway of adversity at my school (Peter Shields Elementary in Rancho Cordova). I could tell you quite a story.
I would love to get involved with your group in some way.
Regards,
Mike
Dear Georgiana,
I ordered a copy of Seeds of Deception after the Preserve Liberty meeting two weeks ago. I have to tell you that it is an amazing work and very well written. Your documentation is excellent and your style is very good, considering it's a first work. I am privileged to personally know Judith Reisman; I have just finished serving on the benefit committee for Pacific Justice Institute's fundraiser, Celebration of Justice; and I've been a guest at a benefit at the amazing David Horowitz' home in Malibu. Hence many of the people and organizations you reference are well known to me.

Dear Georgiana,
Never stop your work and passion for it. My family depends on it.
Thanks,

Georgiana,
Thank you for your courage. I gave out 2 books the same day you brought them. My staff is interested. I am honored to help seed the truth. Don't ever get discouraged.

Hi Georgiana,
What a timely e-mail. I am ordering two. One for my church library and one for my brother and sister in law who taught school for many years.
I am almost finished and what a good and interesting read.
Love,
Mary N.
Georgiana,
I read your book in one day - couldn't put it down. I saw the same things happening in the Novato Unified School District only hadn't heard of the name "SEED". One event took kids away for a weekend (called 'Bridge' something or other) where they shared their 'feelings' with a group facilitator and then returned to their schools to lead others in what they had learned. This is the way the wkend was described to me when I inquired after seeing it referred to in a printed annual report available at a school board meeting about 3 yrs. ago - I still have this report in my garage.
Once I heard Dean Gotcher at an EF mtg in Santa Rosa, things began to fall into place. Now your book makes things a little clearer if that's possible since this 'Medusa' keeps growing new heads.
Thanks again for all the hard work you performed in this battle - one can only do it with God's help. I will pass your book along and hope it will influence some parents to remove their kids from p.s. Unfortunately, I think most want to believe the facade that 'all is well' since either the evil is so unbelievable or they have already been brainwashed to varying extents - as you so ably stated in your book.

Hi Georgiana,
Thank you for the book. I received it yesterday and already started to read it. I love your style of writing and am looking forward to getting through it. I will do it as quickly as I can and post something soon. I'll let you know when.
Thanks!
Stacy
