Sooner or later the whole house of cards that is the American situation is going to fall over. It seems that Rast is aiming to have it be the most complete collapse possible. This goes beyond moving the pieces, this is burning the board that the game is played on. At its most basic level the America of the last half of the twentieth century will be rendered unrecognizable by the mighty butterfly.

¡ Hi ! ¡ AWESOME !:D:cool::D.

Middleafrica´s efforts for independence i supose that maybe it be will creating gigantic waves of angry and blames in Germany, so many money, rersources, blood wasted in a country who it be going to be independent very soon, and the german´s socialist maybe will it be learning that the poor people who try to help maybe in the future will became the enemy, well at least " MAD MAX BAUER " is going to win because Middleafrica´s independence:D.

For America´s update: :eek:¡ WHOA !:eek:, as for myself i only can add about america´s future problems that maybe and say maybe exist the posibility of some midwest farmers how to say independence movements, or maybe afroamerican seccesion groups, or some future war against England because the propiety of canadian´s wheat, and don´t forget that enviromental disaster it be going to create a lot of humgry people and because this a lot of violence, in anyway i wonder if the american democracy, constitution, bill of rights, united country will it be survive when how to say the wave, crisis, meltdown ocurrs:eek:.

And finnally, about Freud, in the latter works Freud was so pesimist about human nature and soul, i wonder if in this magnificent timeline he change his views because the world how to say is diferent;), one optimistic´s Freud it be one fantastic thing to see:).

Peace:).

I do not admit, for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]It was a strange message that was emanating from the man: Canada could own half of the Caribbean! Communist Britain was not worthy to rule these islands. The US American neighbours would not mind if Canada took possession of Bermuda, Jamaica and all the smaller isles. They would even be ready to hand over St. Pierre and Miquelon to Canada in recognition of US-Canadian friendship. Then both English speaking nations would rule North America and the Caribbean as a commonwealth of the two most advanced and most democratic people in the world.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hearing this message for the first time Canadian prime minister Richard Bedford Bennett had been aghast. Although he wholeheartedly shared the repudiation of communism and deeply distrusted Sir Oswald Mosley’s cabinet in London, the idea of betraying the British motherland had left him utterly distraught. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But on second thought, there was some merit to be found in the proposal. After all, Canada – without reservations – recognised King George VI as sovereign of the country; so, seizing the islands would not be a betrayal of the motherland – as represented by the King. Only the bad communist government would be replaced by his decent conservative government – for the benefit of the inhabitants of these islands.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Very soon, negotiations with Washington were set in train; after all, one would have to rely on the US Navy to protect the Canadian possessions from the evil communists...[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In Vancouver, the man who had produced and propagated this scheme was lying half dressed on his back on a hotel bed. He had toured Canada for several weeks now, giving speeches to conventions of upright people and attending dinners together with important persons of public life. Seldom had he been really sober during that time, but never as dead drunk as today at the end of the tour. Feeling a nasty depression gathering between his ears, he had got royally drunk tonight. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]As his consciousness was utterly intoxicated, his subconscious mind had been trying to initiate action for some time – and finally released some muscles in order to get things done. – Thus, Winston Churchill, while lying inertly and snoring violently, pissed in his pants and wetted the bed...[/FONT]
 
Churchill again! :mad: The man is like a...a...GAAH! Well, let him. Judging by the last paragraph, his alcoholism seems to be getting out of control. I wish tbe worst of DT on him, and organ failure and alcoholism-induced dementia.

The English reaction to the seizure of the Caribbean islands is going to be intetesting. They still have a very powerful fleet and half of Europe on their side too. They also could send an agent or six to Canada to finally rid the world of that meddlesome Churchill. Smothering him with a pillow or applying gentle pressure to the nerve knots on both sides of his larynx should be easy when he is pissing-down-his-leg drunk again at some point...I don't know, TTL's Winston brings out the worst in me :eek:

Edit: I can't imagine that the coming move is going to be a surprise to England. Socialist or not, they certainly have enough sympathizers and other "assets" in place in Canada that will forward warnings that something Churchillian (read: sinister) is afoot. Ideal would be English warships in place off Jamaica et al. when the Canadian and US forces approach the territorial waters...

I think the UK has already given up those islands; they would just switch from US possession to Canadian possession.

This is also just the reaction of one man (the Canadian PM.) We don't know how popular this is with Canada at-large. Giving up the monarchy is going to be tough for a lot of people. I would still think the thing Canadians are most proud of is their ability to not get gobbled up by the US. This action would be a clear about-face from that policy.

I agree with Jotun, assassination is sound policy. I'd also send a representative from the Liberals to show Canada that sound democracy is alive and well in the UK. Show them that parliamentary democracy is still alive and well in the UK and that it would be foolish to leave the monarchy just because you dislike the current government.
 
Good. Good.

Things are proceeding marvelously.

The troubles America is having . . . The direction Churchill is pushing Canada . . . All of it shall lead to a more interesting tomorrow.
 
So the Canadian PM could end up hitching the fortunes of himself and his nation to the US right when the walls are about to fall in. This is how politicians end up needing to "spend more time with their families".

With the nastiness surrounding the English civil war and early heating up of the spy game to cold war levels its very doubtful that Churchill is being left unobserved. The odds are fair that the text of the agreement was known in London and Berlin before the ink was dry.

There is also the reaction of the residents of the islands in question. This agreement could kick the door open for greater covert Middle African involvement in the Caribbean. Which would not go over well in Europe or the US.
 
It is left to see how other canadians think about this.
They might not be too happy about this kind of political insanity.
 
Politics are almost as exciting as war, and – quite as dangerous… In war, you can only be killed once. But in politics many times.
(Winston Churchill)

The Churchillian machinations in Canada had not gone unnoticed in Great Britain – and had produced quite some anxieties. Canada – by far – was the most precious part of the British Empire, the inexhaustible source of resources and foodstuffs. – Losing India had – in truth – been a relief for the country, but losing Canada would mean that Great Britain was reduced to a medium sized island, rather poor in natural resources – except coal, off the European continent…

The USA had already established ‘special relationships’ with Australia and New Zealand; that they now were reaching out to Canada – with the help of that traitor Churchill – had to be considered a most unfriendly gesture. However, going to war – even over Canada – with the US was never considered an option. If this fatal development was to be stopped, the brakes had to be applied in Canada.

Unfortunately, the parties of the left did not play any role in the House of Commons in Ottawa. For the time being, the SUP-inspired and -affiliated labour union Workers’ Unity League was the most effective tool at hand for influencing the decisions of the Bennett government, while the socialist Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), which had only been founded in 1932, held no seat in the House or any provincial parliament. And the CCF leader, James S. Woodsworth, hardly was the man to create or exploit a revolutionary situation…

Prime Minister Mosley had already tasked the Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6, with neutralising Winston Churchill, but the man had been found to be well protected by the US FSO. Yet even if the attempt had been successful, one had to accept that Churchill was only the compliant mouthpiece of the McAdoo administration; his death would not have changed their policy – it only would have removed one more unsavoury character from the international political scene…

So, if anything was to be accomplished, one had to address William Lyon Mackenzie King, the leader of the Canadian Liberals. Mackenzie King had a history of trying to loosen the ties with Britain, but he also was a proponent of a Canada independent from US influence. Unfortunately, he was no friend of Sir Oswald Mosley and the British socialists. Therefore, Sir Oswald had to ask David Lloyd George, the opposition leader in the House, for his good services.

Lloyd George – by now aged seventy – was ready to travel to Ottawa, if certain liberal concerns were addressed in Britain. These encompassed release of all former capitalists still kept in work camps and general compensation for expropriation as well as strengthening the rights of individuals opposite the national controller organisation. After lengthy debate, the SUP cabinet agreed, and Lloyd George was on his way.

On December 15th, 1933, a first meeting between Lloyd George and Mackenzie King took place, leading to a series of further meetings – and eventually the involvement of Prime Minister Bennett. By Christmas, Lloyd George was back in London.

In his New Year address to the nation, Canadian Prime Minister Richard Bedford Bennett gave a definite countermand to all rumours that Canada desired to take over administration of Bermuda or any British colony in the Caribbean.
“We do not want to have anything to do with the administration of these territories. Canada is – after Russia – the second largest country in the world, and the largest country in the Americas. There is no need for us to seek rule over more territory. Canada is already large enough.”

It all had been very simple, Lloyd George had explained to Sir Oswald.
“Only thing I had to point out was that three quarters of the population of Bermuda are Negroes; and that Bermuda still has the highest percentage of white persons – compared to the other Caribbean colonies. – Since 1911, they have restricted black immigration, although they couldn’t completely prohibit border crossing from the USA. – Somehow, they had not taken into consideration that they would become responsible for a huge Negro and Mulatto population when they took over these colonies. This aspect immediately sobered them. – Churchill had sung the song of the English speaking white nations; he had said nothing about Negroes, a lot of Negroes…”

In Washington D.C., Winston Churchill imbibed another ample slug of brandy. Too bad that this fine attempt had failed… He wondered what had made Bennett change his mind. The man obviously was an idiot. Being offered colonies for free, and rejecting them. Well, he, Winston Churchill, would find another opportunity to bring Canada at the side of his generous hosts…
 
I might just take back my rant on Churchill...the man is like one of those weighted puppets that keep standing up after being hit (a tumbler?), albeit a very drunk one :D You gotta admire his spirits (pardon the weak pun :D) but not his sense...

Keep him alive, but also keep spoiling his plans...and have his physical and mental faculties decline like it should for all intents and purposes have already happened with the amount of hard liquor he keeps imbibing.

I cherish the anticipation of having TTL's Churchill end as a slobbering, vegetable wreck in some hospice or other...:cool:
 
¡ Hi ! ¡ MAGNIFICENT UPDATE !:D:cool::D:cool:.

As for myself, i really hate this Churchill bastard, well done:cool::):cool:.

Yep, Churchill it is so popular between the elites, the rich and the people with power, he uses the correct words, the correct way and manners, he say what they want to lisen and belived, but is not the true. In anyway, he is creating another big problem and wound for the recources and money from America:D;):D.

The brithish goverment, as for myself i think that he choice the perfect and correct solution for this problem:), ¡ heck ! Churchill defeated by the surviving right and liberal elements from England:D, in short: this update was some excellent leasson of how defeat somebody by true and soft ways;), well done:cool::):cool:.

And for last, please Rast how are Cuba and Puerto Rico these days.

Good luck:).
 
If the situation cannot be remedied why do you worry; and if it can, why do you worry?
(Cuban proverb)

Antonio Díaz Vélez carefully scanned the scenery. The house was brightly illuminated, as was the wall around it. There had to be sentries somewhere, but nobody could be seen. The team he had sent out to cut the telephone wires had just returned, reporting accomplishment; but there still was this radio antenna on the roof of the house…

His men had taken up their positions; everything was ready – just waiting for him to give the signal.
“Okay, let’s start the dance.” Antonio whispered to the man carrying the Panzerfaust. These useful devices kept arriving from Mexico, not quite cheap, yet worth every dollar spent for them.
The man crawled slightly up the embankment, put the Panzerfaust on his shoulder, readied it and took aim.
“Ready.” he said calmly.
“Fire!” hissed Antonio.

A flame and dense fume belched out of the rear end of the weapon, while the rocket and the warhead were propelled towards the target. The shooter hastily ducked for cover and started reloading the device.
Two hundred metres away, the warhead smashed into the roof close to the antenna and exploded.

This was the signal for the attack. All around the house, Antonio’s men jumped out of their hiding places and paced towards the estate. A siren started to wail, and there were shots. Antonio saw a man being hit and fall down. Bullets roared over his head.

The Panzerfaust man had reloaded and now fired a projectile against the iron door of the main entrance to the estate. For seconds, a huge cloud of dust and smoke obscured observation; then Antonio could see the results of the explosion.

One wing of the double door had been blown out of its mounting; the other one had swung away to the inside. As Antonio had expected, there was a pillbox in front of the house – with a machine gun spraying bullets through the breach.

His men were now at the wall, preparing their blasting charges. The Panzerfaust man had manoeuvred for a position which allowed him to fire at the pillbox. Because flame and fume betrayed his position, the machine gunners got him before the projectile took apart the pillbox.

Spurting for the gate, Antonio saw his men duck for cover. Then, the charges went off and segments of the wall collapsed. Through the dust, his men rushed towards the house from all directions.

Another man had picked up the Panzerfaust and the ammo bag and now arrived at Antonio’s side.
“The main door!” cried Antonio. “Take out the main door!”
The man nodded and took aim. Another belch – and the front of the house disappeared in a cloud of smoke and debris.

His men had now reached the walls of the house and were preparing the charges for the ground floor window grills. Firing from the hip, Antonio ran for the main door, which had been blown in, accompanied by two squats, also shooting wildly. All along the outer wall, the covering riflemen were keeping all openings of the house under fire.

Fifteen minutes later, all resistance had been crushed. None of the mercenaries protecting the estate was still alive. The family of the Gringo collaborator had been herded into the parlour. The collaborator, a burly white man in his fifties, had been tied to a chair and was forced to watch how Antonio and his men raped his two teenage daughters and his wife, a buxom blonde considerably younger than her husband.

Then, the collaborator had to witness how his son was beheaded, followed by his wife and the two daughters. Thereafter, Antonio had the mercy to kill the man with a shot in the head.

While rifle fire in western direction indicated that someone had been alarmed by the noises of the fight, the guerrillas were leaving the estate, where the house was now burning brightly, heavily loaded with booty.

Antonio took care that all wounded men and the corpses of those fighters killed in the action were evacuated. In all, losses were acceptable. Five guerrillas were dead, another seven wounded, thereof two grievously. But in turn, an important Gringo collaborator had been eliminated. That – hopefully – would lessen the disposition of wealthy white Cubans to work together with the Yanquis.

‘We should have kept the wife, she really was fun to screw.’ thought Antonio, while rushing towards the hills.

Antonio's "crew" should be wiped out to the last man. That was cruelty for cruelty's own sake.

All those who are like him should be purged by fire.
