Guess Who? - Remember "What's My Line" on TV? (redux)

Guess Who?

·         I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country.  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.

·         Later in life, questions arose over my real name..

·         My birth records were sketchy and 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 country, but I practiced nontraditional beliefs & 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.  That reinforced my conceit.

·         I had a virtually nonexistent 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 & housed for free.

·         I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.  It was the free market, banks & corporations.  I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.

·         I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people.

·         I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & 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" like the Jews.  My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep 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.
