Anticipating a close race and a hard fight, the world was stunned to see
      Kerry concede quickly on the night of the election. Was this necessary?
      Could this have waited until the votes had been counted? Was the nation
      going to be demoralized by the anticipation? Those aware of the fraud
      intended, the paperless voting machines, the electronic and even wireless
      connection to the central tabulating machines, the close connection
      between Cheney’s anticipated 51% to 48% split and the announced results,
      the difference between historically correct exit polls and the announced
      results, suspected a broader game, and a broad game it was. The polls
      going into the election were of course false, and if properly announced
      would have shown Kerry winning by a landslide, which he did. Why then
      would a determined former prosecutor, armed with so much evidence of
      wrongdoing, with the heart of the nation behind him and a history of
      leading the charge as he did during the Vietnam War, cave so quickly?
      
      It is often said, by those watching power plays and comparing real
      agendas to those announced publicly, that elections proffer few choices to
      the public. For important elections, national elections or those building
      a buttress around important positions, there are never choices, only
      ideological and cooperative clones, proffered. Those in power do not like
      surprises, and a known entity who can be controlled by his or her
      weaknesses is preferable to a strong partner who may suddenly become a
      strong enemy. Signs of strength at the top, the carefully crafted words,
      the firm jaw and straight back, cover what lies beneath. For those among
      the common man who deal with adversity daily but would never sell out
      their ideologies nor cave beneath intimidation, this seems astonishing.
      How bad can it get? Refusal might mean opportunities taken away, a lower
      standard of living, physical assaults and maiming of loved ones or
      assassination, but surely those in power around the world are not owned,
      or that weak! 
      
      If you were king, and feared being deposed, would you surround yourself
      with the weak or the strong? We are not speaking here of integrity, the
      good king surrounding himself with the noble knights, we are speaking here
      of the real world where money is to be made, control of minions to be
      secured, and all for a well crafted plan. There may be strong among them,
      but they are well down the ladder, as those around the king are as
      incapable of assuming leadership and deposing the king as a drug addict is
      of defying his dealer and forgoing his fix. Those surrounding the king
      were chosen for their weaknesses, and their inability to deal
      effectively with those weaknesses. For some, it is an inability to admit
      they are wrong, or see their status drop, or fall from grace in the eyes
      of the motherland. In each and every case, a psychiatrist could trace this
      back into childhood, the lock on at an early age. Given, then, that both
      Bush and Kerry were chosen for the race, with Kerry slated to be
      the winner according to the well orchestrated poll results going into the
      election, what changed the outcome?
      
      It was a Puppet Master decision, based on the mess laid out before him.
      His instructions to Bush and Cheney had been to lose, and Bush was
      anticipating this as his visage showed. But for some time, as we have
      mentioned, rebellion had been festering in the Bush Administration, with
      men such as Cheney and Rove ambitious for more than a Puppet status,
      wanting peership after the cataclysms with control of both Americas if not
      a larger chunk of the world. Israel also had been a rebellious Puppet of
      late, as a shakeup is an opportunity and the coming pole shift will be a
      shakeup bar none. A wise Puppet Master always has several alternative
      plans, and this was no exception. Contemplating a messy fight that would
      reveal to the public the extent to which they are manipulated, versus
      manipulation of the Bush Administration to in essence decapitate them when
      the time comes, he chose the latter. It is not a coincidence that Cheney
      has been in hiding, or that almost the entire Bush Cabinet has bolted.
      They know what is coming.
