It will be interesting to see how the Inner Party handles the current USA presidential election. The puppetry is proceeding with its usual bland and insular smoothness. Obviously the last two presidential outcomes were fraudulent, in that Bush supporters clearly tampered with the vote illegally in a variety of crude and subtle ways. Before we go any further I should clarify that I don't support any candidate or either Party in this Gamespace. All are mere pawns, nudged over the board by the hidden talon of the Inner Party and the High Command. Nevertheless, for reasons unclear, the IP/HC felt it necessary to rig up the outcomes of the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, to insure Bush's butt on the throne. Why they'd go to the trouble, when they have their claws all over all the switches and levers to begin with, is beyond me.
Anyway, the interesting thing will be if Hillary "loses" the popular and electoral vote in November, due to similar Republican rigging. Then we'll have an interesting scenario. You see, Gore and Kerry were good little boys, well disciplined operatives who gladly took the required dive to the canvas at the merest ringside gesture from the Handlers. In post fight interviews all they ever said was good sportsmanlike blather such as I came out swinging but he just out punched me. That kind of claptrap and all was well.
But Hillary - though obviously a Deep Operative and willing puppet, might her enormous ego and ambition for public spotlight overwhelm her Party discipline? Might she break ranks and go public with what should be at most a discreet boardroom spat? Start mouthing off "I was robbed!" ??
Then the interesting question will be: how exactly, using what method, will the High Command go about the job of suiciding her.
All public politicians are actors, mere dancers to the tune commissioned by the Inner Party. And as the quote above this post implies, no sensible rancher can tolerate Mad Cow disease in the herd, no matter how valuable or otherwise prize-worthy an individual animal may be.
