Dear Comrade the Leader Episode 127
Thatcher’s eyebrows flew upwards in the sky at Clinton’s desperate declaration.
“… … Are you really?”
“Oh, then, not really. Some write malicious articles such as that I fled to Oxford to study in order to avoid conscription in the Vietnam War, and played with women while other young people were dying in the jungles of Asia. I want the American voters to know that I only focused on
‘How many Americans know what happened in England, and only in my dorm room? Since then, I’ve seen you receive a scholarship from Oxford.’
Clinton was certain that neither Thatcher, now nuanced by his side, nor that of his rival Bush, could spot the little aberrations of his youth.
Besides, what if you find out?
It’s 1992.
With the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, Americans, living in fear of nuclear war, began to relax and view everything in the world optimistically.
Isn’t it an era when a pop song boom is taking place and Michael Jackson, a black man, appears on MTV and smashes a taxi with the words KKK on it?
The side effects of the war on drugs during the Reagan era were slowly becoming apparent, and marijuana was already becoming a part of American life, especially for the poor.
Clinton can’t figure out what she just said was a lie unless she confesses with her own mouth.
Even if he found out, he was convinced that his image as a bad boy and the support of the black votes gathered from his life story of growing up with black people in a ghetto as a child would be enough to make up for it.
‘Your era is long gone, old lady! Now Americans want to listen to music and fall in love! No one wants to vote for a slogan like that anymore, because it’s a nuclear missile and I don’t see Eurasia! The problem is the economy!’
“Hmm, now I have to get up for my next appointment. President, today’s discussion was useful.”
“Let me do it, you must be busy, but thank you for taking the time. It will be less busy soon, but I hope to see you then.”
“ha ha ha. Could it be? When you become the head of a country, you become busier than when you were a candidate. Who knows best… … .”
At Thatcher’s words, which had an unknown hint, Clinton laughed softly until the end.
But Thatcher still smiled subtle, staring at the camera and shaking hands with Clinton goodbye.
Leaving the flash-infested discussion room, Thatcher gave instructions to an aide who had recently joined the Foundation, scouted.
“One of the skills to get away with cooking like a loach is the sense of the president. But still got caught. Please contact the Oxford President.”
Soon an international call was made to Oxford, England.
There was a slight delay at the Office of Academic Affairs in the middle, but I was escorted to the Chancellor’s office without delay when Thatcher revealed that he was one of Oxford’s most famous alumni (for better or worse) and a former prime minister.
To the president, who was stunned by the sudden call from the Iron Woman, Thatcher explained what he wanted in a soft yet firm voice.
“Hey, it’s been a while, President. Yes, I am working with Americans now. … … It’s not very famous yet, but it’s a bright spot. Yes. … … Thanks for the compliment, can I ask you one thing? Oh, just tell me? Thank you again. So, there is one thing I want to know about our Oxford alumni association. Is it possible to want someone who lived in the same dormitory as the specific student I’m talking about at a specific time? Yes, of course, you have to keep it a secret. Thank you. Then we look forward to contacting you as soon as possible.”
* * *
And about a month later, less than three months before the US presidential election, an interview with a British man was published simultaneously in the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post.
He testified that Clinton lived in the same dormitory when he was studying at Oxford University in England, and he overturned the initial expectation that he could not be President Bush’s opponent and confessed that he would inflict a fatal blow on Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign, who is writing a comeback drama. .
– So, are you saying that Bill Clinton’s declaration that he’s never used marijuana is false?
-Yeah, I’ve definitely seen him do marijuana.
– Please be more specific. So, now Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton has lied publicly in public?
-That’s right. Personally, I want him to resign himself, even for the sake of the country and the people, before he confesses that he lied and suffers a greater humiliation. I have clear evidence, and if he intends to hold out until the end, I will release this evidence to the press.
After the explosion was over, a hurricane struck.
Of course, Clinton has been a person who has often caused scandals, starting with the women’s issue, and the public also recognized him as ‘a handsome man who is not exemplary but not hated’, so all the controversies have been a big problem so far. did not develop
But this time it was different, and it was not that Bill Clinton actually did marijuana or not, but that he, in public, lied to the person who was about to become president in public.
-Bill Clinton scandal! This time, the lies that I can’t get out of are exposed… … .
-The prince of Arkansas who was writing a reversal drama, will it eventually fall? The public eye turned to Bush and the entrepreneur and independent candidate Ross Perrault… … .
– Experts, the prospect of an election melancholy. ‘Now all that’s left is how much Los Perrot eats up the current president’s votes.’ In the midst of all this chaos, the stock price of ‘Ferro Systems’, the company of candidate Ross Ferro, has been detected sharply.
The first countermeasure within the US Democratic election camp was, ‘The current president’s negative election is back.’ It was a strategy.
The current president, George Herbert Walker Bush, had already become president through black-and-white propaganda and slander attacks against his opponents.
Again, they argued, they were trying to bring down a young, attractive competitor, Clinton, with a mean, old-fashioned negative offensive.
This measure worked so well that the controversy about lies that blazed like wildfire immediately after the revelation began to evolve quickly.
In addition, soft drugs like marijuana were widely supported by low-income people (especially blacks), who are not well treated as serious ‘real’ drugs like crack cocaine, so it was clear that the lie controversy would quickly subside if they continued to be denial like this. .
The only thing Clinton had on the side was the evidence that the exposer had it, but most of the staff thought that, at best, it was as obvious as the testimony itself.
Except for one person, Bill Clinton himself.
“Is this a lie? candidate? I’m pretty sure there’s no evidence out there. It is clear that the current president was bewildered because the candidate’s approval rating suddenly increased recently.”
“Not like that. You keep denying it. No more, no less, just two months, two months. Eat your heart out.”
“… … .”
‘I’m going crazy. How do you do this?’
As Election Day drew closer and closer, in contrast to the staff around him, Bill Clinton felt trapped in a trap he couldn’t move.
He knew he had fallen into a trap, but he couldn’t even guess who the hell was targeting him.

No, the important thing now was not the person behind this incident, but his own response.As the Watergate case shows, lying and perjury are very serious disqualifications as a politician in the United States.
He had already declared in public that he had never used marijuana in his entire life, and if he turned it upside down now, he would have effectively given up on this election.
However, if he continues to take away and the evidence he has on the other side is really revealed, his political life will end there.
Even if it’s the same lie, confessing the truth to yourself and being exposed by others are all different things.
If you confess right now, you could try for the next re-election, but really, that person has a picture of herself drunk on marijuana and flirting, so if she reveals it, she shouldn’t think about going into politics for the rest of her life.
In the end, Clinton made a decision.
He held a press conference and admitted that he had used marijuana and, as a result, lied.
“Candidate Clinton! So, are you actually using marijuana?”
“… … That’s right. But I have something to say. I just took a bite of cannabis and didn’t suck it because it didn’t fit my body… … .”
“Then you lied? Didn’t you say you never touched drugs in public a few months ago?”
“Yeah, that’s right, but please listen to me until the end. At the time, I was young, and I had no idea marijuana was such a serious drug! Since my childhood environment was the environment… … .”
After that, Clinton picked up various excuses, but the rumors were finally confirmed and, in the face of the disappointment and anger of the public that exploded like an active volcano, all those words were just bullshit.
It doesn’t matter if Clinton’s drug was marijuana or cocaine, but because the fact that he lied publicly in public was the real reason his supporters were disappointed with him.
Eventually, within a few days, the essence of the event, which became a global debate, was published in the front page of the British tabloid The Sun.
Even parodying the slogan used inside the Clinton camp.
-It’s a lie! stupid! (The problem is lies, you idiot!)
“It’s over. I’m asking just in case… … From the point of view of black people, did that skinny guy really look good? Enough to make you want to be president of the United States?”
“Um, Commander. that… … Clearly, it is true that this has been a major disappointment within the black community. Even in this age of Michael Jackson dancing on MTV, there is no black president yet.”
When Thatcher, who was happily watching TV reruns of Clinton’s videos of Clinton in embarrassment, suddenly asked a question, a senior researcher at the Balanced Security Foundation, who is Thatcher’s daughter, and the woman who follows Thatcher wherever he goes, think for a moment. After seeing that, he nodded his head.
Although the senior researcher was also a black woman, he was a financial resource who had recently joined the foundation with the ambition of overcoming all kinds of discrimination and prejudice and building a career step by step to succeed in Washington.
It was as if she was seeing herself in her youth, and Thatcher cared deeply for her.
“Miss Rice, this is a sudden and sensitive question, but I want you to be unbiased, and I know it’s not easy for an African American like you to support the Republican Party. Can you tell me how you felt about dropping Clinton, who could have given black people a chance?”
“Well, chief. To be honest, I look forward to the day when a black man himself becomes president or secretary more than a white man pretending to be black enters the White House. It’s definitely not easy, but… … You also became the first female British Prime Minister, right?”
‘I wish I could be the first black president if possible,’ replied Condoleezza Rice, the woman’s senior researcher, hiding her ambitions in her heart.
Thatcher thought about her answer for a moment, then nodded.
“I’m white pretending to be black, so that kid, Cecil Rose, was a scholar, right? Black people who claim to be their friends would love it if they found out. Anyway, that’s an impressive answer, Miss Rice. I’m happy to confirm that I wasn’t wrong.”
“Black and white, we are all Americans. Warden. And if you want something, shouldn’t you stand up on your own legs and get it with your own hands instead of entrusting it to someone else? I think that is the spirit of modern capitalism and the secret that made America a great nation after winning the Cold War. And isn’t it another duty of the Americans to spread this idea of freedom to the rest of the world so that other countries can learn it too?”
Looking at Condoleezza Rice with her eyes twinkling and making that determination, Thatcher nodded her head as if satisfied.
It was Margaret Thatcher, who seemed to have discovered the unexpected fun of life and the joy of raising political disciples.
And finally, in November, the presidential elections held across the United States were decided by the victory of incumbent President George Herbert Walker.
After the Democratic nominee Clinton, who was running on a sharp rise, was virtually fatally hit over the marijuana lie controversy,
Independent Los Perrault, who was expected to devour Bush’s vote, also met an unexpected bad news.
-Today, after the political disaster of Democratic nominee Bill Clinton, independent presidential candidate Los Perrault abruptly resigned.
He explained the reason for his resignation, saying, ‘At this point, I can’t just focus on the presidential election.’
– Experts citing industry sources, the reason for the sudden decision to resign despite the unexpected good news is that, in addition to Clinton’s downfall, his computer company, Ferro Systems, has taken over a sudden hostile takeover from a North Korean state-owned investment company. It was diagnosed that it was on the verge of a merger.
This young North Korean leader, who succeeded his dictator’s father to the head of state at a young age, is known to have ordered the merger and acquisitions with great interest in expanding the supply of high-speed Internet infrastructure.
When the Clinton blast and internal enemy, Ross Perot, who caused dissension, was eliminated, contrary to the original history, George W. Bush succeeded in his second presidential election.

And again a month later, this time the 14th presidential election was held in Korea.
Interestingly, this election was similar and different from that in the United States, but the similarity was that the current ruling party succeeded in prolonging its power.
And the difference was that although the ruling party won, a power struggle within the ruling party caused a civilian president to come to power through an election for the first time in decades.
However, Jung-hwan, who was informed about the new president of South Korea, Park Yi-sam, at the Pyongyang Secretariat’s office, noticed… … .
It was not Park Yi-sam, who was elected, but someone else, Yu Min-jung, who was attracting attention as the biggest competitor in his opposition party.
“This is fun.”
Jeonghwan muttered as he turned to the Goryeo Ilbo announcing the election of Park Yi-sam.
On page one it was written:
-Park Yi-sam, the 14th president-elect! Win easily with Yu Min-jung, the biggest competitor in the opposition, not running !
