    As far as I know the article isn't online. I got it from the library. It's in Technocracy magazine, Vol. A-19, July 1940, pp. 3-15.

    The two outstanding examples of alien remnant cultures on this Area are the French habitant culture of Quebec and the hacienda culture of that part of the Continent south of the Rio Grande... This Continent must realize that the destiny of this Area prescribes only one outcome-that these alien...

    "America - Now and Forever", p. 10, right-hand column: "As technology more and more pervades our way of life we, the people of this Continent, will find ourselves more and more in conflict with the last remaining remnants of alien cultural intrusions on this Continental Area." (continued)

  4. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    So the Byzantines lost a rebellion, and somehow converted to tribalism...

  5. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    Geeze, Bruno is the energizer battery of kings: he just keeps going and going and going. Having begun his reign as Grand Chief of Saxony, he has reformed the Germanic religion, settled his tribal people in cities and castles, crowned himself king of Pomerania and Denmark, burnt so many cities of...

  6. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    Worth trying.

  7. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    Gah. So my shieldmaiden spymistress daughter is an ambitious genius with stats out the whazoo, including a 25 Intrigue and 18 Martial. All of my other kids are basically average at best. And my kingdom is a bunch of misogynist pigs who aren't about to make a woman queen. :( (Tolerance tech is...

  8. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    Well, I managed to reform the Germanic religion for the first time, establishing the Fylkirate as Chief Bruno of Saxony. The French and German Catholics are pretty much imploding; we're extorting tribute from the child-king of the French and the Germans have fallen apart into half a dozen...

  9. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    So I just started a game as Amalfi in the 769 start. Two years in and the Byzantine Empire just converted to gavelkind succession...

  10. Crusader Kings II - Paradox Entertainement (02/12)

    Thinking about trying a 769 Saxony start. Never tried playing a tribal leader before - well, I've never stuck with it for more than a year or two in-game - so does anyone have any advice? I'd like to stay Norse if possible.

  11. North American Technate becomes a reality?

    Honestly, I think Howard Scott would start with heavy political and economic pressure on Canada and Mexico to request annexation, along with funding technocrat political parties. And then, when that doesn't work, just invade and annex, and shoot anybody who resists. He wasn't a subtle guy. That...

  12. North American Technate becomes a reality?

    It's tough to say - people and ideas change on their way to power - but for Howard Scott as he was IOTL, unifying those countries into a single state was a core aim of the project. So I think direct annexation would be their objective.

  13. North American Technate becomes a reality?

    I did a lot of reading about technocracy a while back for a TL that never materialized. Besides what's already been mentioned - that Scott was a totalitarian with occasionally genocidal inclinations - I thought I'd add a few more specific points. Historically, the Technocrats wanted to keep the...

  14. A Cold War without Hydrogen Fusion Bombs

    I was assuming that boosting would also be disallowed. That actually raises an interesting question: how do you define a hydrogen bomb for a treaty? This is trickier than it seems, especially if you still want to allow boosting. I've seen academic papers debating whether or not research into...

  15. A Cold War without Hydrogen Fusion Bombs

    I have a really hard time believing that either the Western or Soviet leadership would ever go for this. It's essentially impossible to detect cheating on this, for one thing, at least once they start doing underground testing. If they somehow did, the first thing that comes to mind is that...

  16. Most popular conspiracy theories without JFK assasination?

    The 1970s really was the heyday of UFOlogy, or at least of UFOlogy as UFOlogy. After they discovered Roswell and alien abductions - and FOIA - most of UFOlogy (not all) soured into just another branch of conspiracy theories.

  17. Most popular conspiracy theories without JFK assasination?

    While UFOs were big before Kennedy, and there was always an element of "the government knows more than it's telling", the conspiracy side of it didn't really get going in a big way until after Kennedy's assassination. That didn't really happen until the late 70s/early 80s, with the Bennewitz...

  18. Kenneth Arnold's plane crashes

    I don't know, I think it might butterfly it away entirely... There had been sightings before, and lots of them - the ghost rockets, the foo fighters, etc. But for whatever reason those ones didn't latch into the public consciousness the way the 1947 flap did. I don't really understand - and I'm...

  19. PC/WI: HAARP used as a pan-North American ABM system?

    Do you have a link to this? I googled but didn't find anything but conspiracy theorists. At first glance that looks extremely implausible, but this is not an area I know much about.

  20. Nuclear Airships

    It's probably a very bad idea to not use unit shielding. Which will drive up the weight of the reactor - the XNJ140E didn't use it, it used a shadow shield - but will keep you from accidentally frying anyone who comes too close, along with eliminating most concerns about radiation degradation of...
