Political Veil:Positioning for Power

By P.L.O.S.

" The art of politicking is a great art that men and women of bygone days have utilized to obtain and keep power. They understood what the masses have always assumed for centuries - that power is a political, economical, religious, social and psychological game that must be played Tactically, Strategically and Deceptively to win hearts, minds and loyalty to obtain the seat of Power."

When it comes to politicking, there is no time and mind for bullshitting. Politicking is a very important strategy for power. Power and its uses have to be looked at closely with a critical eye. The opening of a speech, physical presentation or conversation is everything. The ways you profess yourself to be, both physically and verbally, are what people will presume you to be—that which you have displayed. The introduction isn’t about you, but for your audience; it conveys something without being overtly noticeable to the person or people you’re addressing. The opening should have the appearance and appeal that greatly moves the listener and provides emotional gratification. Its words should have personal meaning to the listener or reader. You must absorb this deep within your psyche when it comes to politicking. Your words don’t have to be big to make yourself sound intelligent or like a college professor as long as the person or persons understand what you are saying or implying. The context and mannerisms of conveying words with great enthusiasm and bodily gestures are beneficial to the listeners. So, if you don’t know or understand how important it is to appeal to people’s wants, needs, or emotions, forget about moving up the ladder to success or having worthy people in your circle. The opening or introduction isn’t just one of the things that opens closed doors, deaf ears, veiled eyes and closed minds—it’s the main component.

The Opening

If you haven’t read "Psychological Skullduggery," I would strongly suggest that you do. There’s no other way you can truly understand my politicking mind without the seeds and roots of my psychological make-up. I was initiated over the past 15 years from the streets to the executive seats of plastic smiles and business meetings. I must admit the power and understanding gets greater every time I pick up my political, scientific, humanistic Bible. The majority of us fails to truly understand the nature of power and politics. However, only a fool would condemn what he or she fails to understand when it comes to the bedrock of economics and political rule of a society. Failing to understand the rules, the make-up of the next ruler, the president, the monarch, or the tyrant is like a fool waiting around for someone that he or she has never seen or conversed with in some form or fashion. To be a politicking realist is to be labeled "The Devil." Well, I guess that makes me the Devil’s Pupil. You see, fools rush to a heaven that has been dressed, and fictionalized by true politicking realists of past-times. True politicking comes from men and women that are realists in a world of schemers and powerful, prudent people. A true politician knows when to smirk or smile with moral gestures to dupe the sucker to obtain the goods and the vote. Being a prudent, politicking force can aide you to obtain positions of power, money, rule and a little sexual escapade for the mental stress over time. Ha, ha! In my book Psychological Skullduggery, I give insight on this mentality for wannabe leaders, political players, and for those realists and bold achievers. For all the political-neophytes opening the pages of this book for the first time, brace yourself for a real psychological
