Explain the AH Quote

[Alias_The_J]

My name is Richard Henry Lee, Virginia is my home. And I am here to run for Lord President of the Colonial Council of British North America!

In 1784, after the finalization of of the Colonial Council of Self-Rule in the British Colonies of North America (formerly the Continental Congress), R.H. Lee presented himself as Virginia's representative to compete against Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and seven other candidates from the Congress.

He lost. Contrary to common claims (circa Year of our LORD 2020), the infamous rebel general Robert Lee is unrelated; he is the son of Henry Lee III, and is only distantly related to the esteemed Councilor.

"Miss Ponsonby claims to have visited numerous locations, met many interesting and historically significant people, and to have encountered a host of curious objects and creatures over the course of her travels. She was in China during the Boxer Uprising, and fought off two Boxers with her parasol. In Africa, she was adopted as the favored daughter of a cannibal king. In South America, Miss Ponsonby was within a hair's breadth of discovering a secret Incan city until her steamboat sprung a leak. She campaigned actively for the cause of Women's Suffrage, and was arrested for chaining herself to the fence in front of Number 10 Downing Street. She dined with Lord Kitchener in Sudan, danced with Tsar Nicholas II, discussed railroads with Cecil Rhodes.

People may find this difficult to believe at first, because Miss Ponsonby is hermaphroditic gastropod approximately five inches in length, a nudibranch to be precise. She mostly lives in an aquarium on the top floor of Ponsonby's, though she sometimes comes out, usually on the shoulder of a thrall, with a few hobs dancing in attendance. How she speaks is... uncertain."

"Hi! SALLIE MAE here to bring you a revolutionary new product you won't believe!"

 

[CountDVB]

"Hi! SALLIE MAE here to bring you a revolutionary new product you won't believe!"

A line from popular spokeslady Sallie Mae, known for charisma in selling a variety of products, especially in successfully selling "tradtionally feminine" products to men. A fun fact is that she is a distant cousin to William Darrell Mays Jr., a prominent political lobbyist who lobbied for reforms regarding hazardous waste. He would end up becoming a promiennt force in education by dealing with the Student Loan Marketing Association, mainly in successfully fighting against privatization attempts. The two have worked together for the first time when Sallie used her saleslady skills and charisma to gather support for Will's campaign toward government-funded college.

"We all knew the Cossacks' uprisings would succced in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, none of us predicted they would succeed via revolutionary support of the people. Now we have the Hetmanate Commonwealth and now they've embraced Unitarianism as the nation's new faith! How should we proceed with interacting with them?"

The representative of the Unitary Republic of Greece commenting on a rebellion in both Poland and Ukraine against the Empire of the Russ in 1770. Meanwhile, the British and the Papacy both were growing more concerned about everyone east of the Odra River was suddenly speaking English- without, it seemed, any realization on their part. This would prove important about five years later, when the Chinese started speaking with a Cockney accent.

This despite the intense rivalry between the Romanian Empire and the Anglo-Franco Empire where Rogers hailed from. However, this did lead to an era of growing epace between the formal rivals as time went on.

"Deprogramming is very horrible process, but absolutely necessary in this desperate case. During Operation Yekaterina, aka the Stalinist invasion of France and Italy - 79,000 children from France, Italy and the Low Countries were abducted by the occupying Red Army, the NKVD and its collaborators. These abducted children were placed into reeducation camps where they were indoctrinated into Stalinism and taught to dehumanize Germans and commit atrocities. 56% of the stolen children have not yet undergone deprogramming.

For a case study, this is the account of Albertine, aged 10. The Allies found this girl during the liberation of France, and brought to Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. This girl told that she was abducted from village of Gallician, France by the Red Army. She was brought to a reeducation camp for Stalinist indoctrination and conscripted to assist in the War of Annihilation by the Stalinists. She was assigned to Fourth Special Subdivision, her main role is to cremate the corpses of executed French partisans and ethnic Germans in firepits."

Narration from a documentary series detailing the atrocities of World War III, with this segment going through Western Europe, detailing what happened during those times. Known in the so-called "War of Annihiation" for the Stalinists, it was the result of the USSR's near-defeat by the Nazis before turning the tide, but their percieved betrayal caused Stalin to snap and declare himself Vohzd. He claimed all of EUrope needed to be under the USSR to protect themselves from any other threat. Much of the process had been detailed to rescue the "Lost Children" which was Russia's attempts to dehumanize them and they had to to resort to deprogramming, to get rid of indoctrination by the Stalianists. The war ended when the Americans dropped three atom bombs along with widespread rebellions across Europe. China meanwhile nearly fractured. The horrors of WW3 caused the Communists to split with the moderates joining the Chinese Democratic League. Weeks later, a similar incident caused the Nationalists to split, with the moderates joining the CDL and the third side triumphed over the other two befoe joining to help the Americans against the Stalinists.

Every Stalinist (except for Stalin himself, who died of lung cancer) was charged with crimes against humanity as they were turned over during the Second Russian Revolution which saw the return of the Mensheviks. Additionally, the political attempts to paint this as the falt of communism failed as many noted that capitalists and fascist rulers escaped while communist freedom fighters remain to fight back against the Stalinists. Ultimately, the entire thing was viewed as the dangers of charismatic leaders and would lead to an era of decentralizing power from one figure along with rebuilding. Russia split into varius smaller states, and ending at the Urals, China stabilized and replaced Russia as the other superpower, rebuilding Central Asia, overseeing Siberia and Southeast Asia. The US meanwhile underwent reforms as the comparisons to their own sketchy past did not go noticed.

A quote by an unknown man on the street referring to the Pacific Ring, the informal name to the US - Nōzanrando - Joseon alliance forged in 1954. Nozan and Joseon, having just gained independence from the Shogunate were just a few years before sworn enemies to the US along with their masters. However, with the Ring, they had become some of the firmest US allies in the Pacific. The invasion of Joseon by the Shogunate in 1867 would be the flashpoint that started WWIII.

The lamentations coming from Chuck Norris on why he and various other high-profile conservatives have abandoned President Reagan during the Second American Depression, which saw Reagonomis plunge the nation into economic troubles. The "they" was referring to the Democratic Socialists of America, who were invited by Norris and the others to debate, with Norris hoping to show the problems of socialist theory. Instead, many of their points rang with the public and their criticisms of capitalism absolutely true.

"When John Wayne admits that socialists were right about practically everything, you know that's how screwed up things were."

He recovered, but lost in the primaries to Russel Long, who ultimately set the tone for the decade with "Longnomics".

“Orwellion Market Liberalism the Dominant Ideoligy of The Republican Party a leading rightist political party”

 

[CountDVB]

“Orwellion Market Liberalism the Dominant Ideoligy of The Republican Party a leading rightist political party”

The title of a somewhat tongue-in-cheek book by Hillary Clinton that was published following the realignment of the Republican and Democrat parties along with the rise of the Reform Party.

Following the disasterous reign of President Reagan (1976 -1980) due to economic concerns and mishandling Iran, the Republican party suffered heavy losses and the supposed second wave of neoconservatism was instead torn to in-fighting. The Democrats would win heavily under President Mo Udall from 1980-1987, where he would resign and Vice President Reubin Askew would oversee the continuation of "Second New Deal" policies from 1987-1996 (he was permitted to run twice due to serving less than two years in Udall's second term after his resignation and then death in 1990.) After 16 years of progressive policies, people sought change and Askew's victory cemented the Second New Dealers' position within the party.

The people cast out, the so-called neoliberals, divided between the Reform Party formed by Ross Perot or joined the Republicans and aligning with the Rockefeller Republicans. The book in question was written to criticize the promotion of ad-based disinformaton acts, public manipulation and economic deregulation employed by the Republicans. Many believed this led to Reform Party candidate Bill Clinton's problems within the 1996 election against new Republican president John Kasich (1996-2004).

"In retrospect, it made sense that Ross Perot did not choose Donald Trump as his running mate for the Reform Party, given his shady history. However, who expected for him to choose Ralph Nader? I mean, Perot/Nader did win in 1996 and 2000, but still..."
