Let's kid ourselves, again, shall we?

Once again, Americans in massive numbers place their hope in, pay homage to and rally around the candidate of their choice that supposedly will lead them to higher places - a better life - a future for their children.

A candidate, one of two, rigorously examined and vetted by cabals of self-serving, secretive people that are our true masters. Self-appointed and moneyed interests that will be obeyed.

Those Oval Office contenders less likely to deliver were failed during the primaries.

Both surviving candidates have received their marching orders, and both understand the ramifications if they deviate. AIPAC, along with countless other thugish, well funded special interest groups are not to be triffled with.

Each candidate spouts carefully rehearsed and lofty words, espousing ideals and inspiration that will, in actuality, when they really matter, be meaningless.

Meanwhile, the vote manipulators gear up, lay their groundwork and shape the vote before it begins. The fraudster co-conspiators will further shape the vote count afterwards. Diebold insiders plan a celebration - again.

As the big day approaches, the commentators, the pundits, the experts, the insiders and the networks all rejoice in the grand deception - the elaborate ruse - the grand hoax. Viewership and profits soar. Backslapping is widespread.

And once again, the puzzled foreigners watching from afar this most curious American ritual, surrounded, permeated and infected with deception and trickery - and they absulutely laugh their asses off.
