A Mannequin for President

Brutally audacious and satirical A Mannequin for President is a fictionalized series of conversations supported by a fascinating analysis of current and historical events. The result is an extraordinarily lucid portrayal of the Machiavellian intrigues of American politics and the how's and why's of 'selecting' a President. <p>The pundits including Michael Moore are wrong. Presidents are tools of the system not malevolent leaders. The Presidency is a facade behind which the real power resides. Forget elections! Except for minor differences changing the President is an irrelevance. The American Dream is merely one delusion that reinforces this charade.<p>American politics today is unchanged from a hundred years ago. Ask the people of the Philippines. At the turn of the 20th Century they lost tens of thousands in a futile war of liberation against American colonialism.<p>They once deceived us with communism. Now terrorism is the new communism cynically nurtured and exploited on America's crusade for the world's oil and natural resources; Manifest Destiny II. Then there is Globalization; a range of policies specifically designed to fail those in need in order to create The New Jerusalem.<p>It's the system stupid! Not the man in the White House!
