The Great Deception

Sep 02, 2006 09:23



Legend has it that four term Presidental Heavyweight Franklin Delano Roosevelt suffered from the crippling paralytic disease polio. This myth has been propagated by his modern day opponents and naysayers. This though, is as I said, a myth.

In reality his 'disease' was mearly an act employed to lure his enemies into a false sense of security while in his presence. Behind closed doors he through his masterful acting ability had positioned himself in the perfect position to strike out with a forward leap befitting a model olympian whilst exclaming his trademark battle cry "How about this for a New Deal!" Soon followed by a brass-knuckled death blow reserved typically for both The Axis and American Economic Depression. His closest and most trusted aides were the only witnesses to these feats of incredible cat-like ferocity, and dared not speak of them due to their great love, respect, and fear of this scotch fueled presidential titan.
Another related but relatively unknown fact is that Mr. Rossevelts wheelchair, though purely for show, was infact well armed with concealed weapons including a rifle, blowgun, multiple throwing knives, a two-way communicator, and a well hidden cane-sword intented for close quarters combat. Regardless of these weapons, there is no known record of their use. This can be explained in President Roosevelt's own words, "I prefer the warm feeling of my own two hands, smiting my enemies, over that of the feeling of a warm gun any evening. Weapons are just so... impersonal." These weapons and their records were only descovered in 1987, after a small child accidentaly impaled his out of state cousin during their visit to the Smithsonian. Later during questioning by the Secret Service the source of the child's sword was revealed. It is believed that the president's concealed shuriken were reserved for Emperor Hirohito alone.
His code name, which the Sercret Service refered to him as, was "The Condor."

Its also of some note that outside of the public eye Mr. Roosevelt was a fan and participant of the 'Highland Games,' his favorite event to compete in was the caber toss. Of course these secretive competitions were only privy to his family and the occasional visitation of Winston Churchill.
