Who am I?
...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 non-traditional 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 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 & 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
& if they were envious of others who did well, the plan
was clinched tight.
...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.
...Who am I???
...ADOLF HITLER.
...WHO
WERE YOU THINKING OF?
Yeah, me too! Wonder why!?
