For most of 1960, Alex was busy clearing the curse, traveling to Vietnam in search of the Dark Forest and killing Cain, the Earl of Poison.

During that year, the United States was busy with the presidential campaign, and almost no one paid attention to what was happening to the Carpenters. No one even knew that Alex had left New York in the United States and entered the war-torn land of Vietnam as Wang Lung.

Earlier that year, around April, Neustadt, a political scientist at Columbia University, wrote a book called "Presidential Power."

In this book, Neustadt argues that a strong president can improve the viability of government and policy. He tried to illustrate how the president could effectively form power.

"The sixties, it seems, will be an era of fighting!" Neustadt prophesied that, in fact, he was a scientist controlled by the Illuminati Order. Although he was unaware of the higher level of existence, his spiritual concepts and scientific research directions were quite consistent with those of the Illuminati.

"We need a president who can command skillfully, a president who is energetic and driven!" Neustadt called out loudly, and was quickly favored by presidential candidate John F. Kennedy, and was soon recruited to the campaign advisory group.

As a public figure in society controlled by the Illuminati, Neustadt's remarks and books caused considerable repercussions in society.

Kennedy had a similar view to Neustadt, who argued: "The president must be a catalyst, an energizer, a defender of public happiness and the public interest!" It is necessary to throw yourself into the place where the fighting is most intense. Because the president is the most critical center of action in the entire system of government! ”

"Energetic," "combat," "energetic," "public interest," and so on were words that often appeared in the slogans of Kennedy's campaign because they matched Kennedy's temperament. At that time, the American people saw that one candidate was Mr. Kennedy, a young and promising congressman, and the other was Mr. Nixon, an old and weak vice president, and many people were already subconsciously biased towards Kennedy.

A closer look at Kennedy's political career shows that his rise to the top of the political arena was very rapid. Kennedy was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946 and the Senate in 1952. Became president at the age of 43! Yes, it can be said. His personal qualities and charisma were so appealing that his character was exaggerated by the public, the media, and especially by his admirers.

In fact, Kennedy was not perfect.

First, he hid from the public that he had Addison's disease. so as not to jeopardize his political career.

Secondly. In the Second World War. He was awarded the Order of the Purple Heart for his poor seamanship, although he heroically rescued his sailors after the accident. But the truth of the accident was concealed.

There is also the fact that Kennedy won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957 for his book "A Tale of the Brave", which gave him great fame, but in fact the book was ghostwritten by one of his assistants, and it was not known until Kennedy died for a long time.

In any case, Kennedy narrowly outnumbered Nixon in the presidential race. Kennedy won 49.7 percent of the popular vote and Nixon 49.6 percent, and Kennedy actually captured fewer states than Nixon, and many people thought Nixon had won before the results.

Such a paper-thin advantage did Kennedy not gain a dominant position in Congress, and he could not count on the new congressmen he proposed to provide much help. However, Kennedy was indeed a natural politician who was adept at turning disadvantages into advantages.

After becoming president, he won the support of the minority through various tactics and struggles, and used coercion and coercion to make other legislators compromise with him, and soon spread his influence from the president's office to the Congress.

It's just that his actions have offended many parliamentarians and made many people hold grudges. Even the kindest congressmen sometimes complained, "President Kennedy was so arrogant and extreme that I couldn't talk to him." ”

In terms of religious beliefs, the Kennedys were Catholic. This made Kennedy very passive in the election campaign, because the United States is a country founded by Protestants, and Catholicism and Protestantism have irreconcilable contradictions.

It was to escape persecution from Catholicism that the Protestants fled to the American continent and established the American regime. Prior to this, no Catholic had ever been president of the United States, and many Protestants refused to support the Democrats, but Kennedy won 80 percent of the Catholic vote, rather than the 63 percent that a National Party candidate would normally be able to count on.

In general, religion constituted certain limitations, and disagreements over religious issues cost Kennedy many votes.

As the first president of the Catholics, Kennedy took an extremely opposite attitude to dispel suspicions that he was under the influence of the Church, disapproving of the Vatican's dispatch of an American ambassador, and similarly opposing the disobedience of the first dispatch to support the diocesan schools.

Kennedy soon proved that a Catholic could be president of the United States without being influenced by religion.

During the U.S. presidential election, it's a time of national betting, and for ordinary people, they vote for one of the candidates in the hope that he will give them a better life and a better future.

For some powerful small rich people and enterprises, they support candidates who can represent their interests, hoping that when he becomes president, he will be able to get government policies to support their enterprises. In addition to casting their votes, they will also provide large and small political donations, as well as various venues for candidates to canvass for votes.

When moving up to the position of such wealthy families as the Kennedys, Disneys, etc., there are two ways to participate in this all-out betting activity.

One way is to bet on both sides, win or lose, and just watch yourself bet more on that side. Even if you lose, you won't lose too badly, and you still have a chance to recoup your costs, just wait for the next presidential campaign.

Another way is to go shirtless, as was the case with the Kennedys, for example. They personally sent family representatives to participate in this gambling. However, this way is to play with blood and higher stakes. If you win, you will naturally have a lot of money, and if you lose, you are likely to be greatly damaged and difficult to recover.

If you look further up, for those at the top of the pyramid, this kind of activity is just a battle of ideas, not a matter of interest. For example, the Rockefeller Consortium, the Morgan Consortium, the Hughes Group, the Carpenter family, etc., will arrange the candidates they support according to the organizations they join.

Whether or not the candidate they support is elected in the end, the impact on the interests they already have is not very significant. It's just that for these "people" who can survive longer than ordinary people, the immediate interests are only the appearance, and they need to see the benefits of the next 10, 20, or even hundreds of years.

They hope that human society will develop in that direction, whether it will develop fast or slow, slow or urgent, and so on. Each has its own ideas and concepts, even if it is sweet or salty to eat tofu, there are people who have to fight, not to mention which direction the world in which they live will develop, it is bound to fight.

That is, the so-called struggle of ideas, the Tao is not the same!

For this kind of struggle, Alex has not yet penetrated into it, especially since there is such a big thing happening in the Carpenter family, he simply does not care about these inconsequential little things.

If the Jonathans were still around, they might have influenced the campaign in various ways, perhaps not with money, but with a few words to the candidate they support.

Of course, it's more likely that the Jonathans simply ignored that. This situation is also quite common among the "human beings". After all, the world world is so big, it is impossible for everyone to concentrate on the United States and compete for that bit of influence to influence the entire world world.

Influencing the U.S. presidential campaign is just one of the ways to change the world. If the Jonathans don't feel good one day, they may be able to change a lot of things in the world with a wave of their hand, it just depends on their personal needs and ideas. Some influences are invisible, silent, and only people in certain circles will know where they come from.

Alex is also influencing the world in his own way, such as technological inventions, music, novels, movies, television, and so on. His influence has changed dramatically in many ways, at least in terms of technology, music and film, and the world is getting closer to the future.

At first, Alex just gave a gentle push, and then it rolled like a snowball falling down the mountain, getting bigger and bigger. Many unknown scientists, musical talents, and movie stars have emerged, bringing many new things and changes to the world.

This confirms one of his original thoughts: "Human inventions and ideas are endless." It will not be because he has copied something from the later generations that the talents of this world will become lifeless and make them have no achievements. On the contrary, the emergence of new ideas and inventions can stimulate more new ideas and inventions. ”

The development of human society is a process of accumulation, and when it reaches a certain level, it snowballs faster and faster, and it gets bigger and bigger.

Just imagine, if there is a person in the future, all kinds of knowledge, all kinds of inventions, all kinds of ideas in the future to a certain era, so that the people of that era can draw nourishment from it, the development of that era will be improved by leaps and bounds.

Alex plays such a role, he only provides the initial impetus in various fields, and then he just has to stand aside and see how it develops.

In other words, Alex is the creator of history, and his influence has changed human society and accelerated its development. (To be continued......)
