WHO AM I?
I was born in one country, raised in another.
My father was born in another
I was not his only child.
He fathered several children with numerous women.
I became very close to my
mother, as my father showed no interest in me.
My mother died at an early age from
cancer.
Although my father deserted me and my
mother raised me,
I later wrote a book idolizing my father
not my mother.
Later in life, questions arose over my
real name.
My birth records were sketchy.
No one was able to produce a legitimate,
reliable birth certificate.
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to
Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country; but , I
practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow Christianity, except
in the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a
young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.
That was before I decided it was time to get
serious about my life. and I embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.
It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that
I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30's
then, with help behind the scenes,
I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate
for national office in my 40s.
They said I had a golden tongue and could talk
anyone into anything.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little
work history, and no experience in leading a single organization.
Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were
drawn to me, as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing
tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public
appearances.
This bolstered my ego.
At first, my political campaign focused on my
country's foreign policy...
I was very critical of my country in the last
war, and seized every opportunity to bash my country.
But what launched my rise to national prominence
were my views on the country's economy.
I pretended to have a really good plan on how we
could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.
I knew which group was responsible for getting
us into this mess.
It was the free market, banks and corporations.
I decided to start making citizens hate them
and, if they became envious of others who did well, the plan was
clinched tight.
I called mine "A People's Campaign".
That sounded good to all people.
I was the surprise candidate because I emerged
from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain
widespread popular support.
I knew that, if I merely offered the people
'hope',
together we could change our country and the
world.
So, I started to make my speeches sound like
they were on
behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to
include "persecuted minorities".
My true views were not widely known and I kept
them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody
could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply
read my writings and examined those people I associated with..
I'm glad they didn't.
Then I became the most powerful man in the
world.
And the world learned the truth.
Who am I?
