A Vision of 5 Alternate Worlds

 What if Hillary Never Met Bill?

 I would see her becoming a lawyer in New York eventually getting into politics as a city councilwoman in New York. She would be considered a progressive in the vein of David Dinkins. She would be in a rather liberal district of Manhattan somewhere near Wall Street but she loses in a big upset as a moderate Republican is dragged over the line in her district by Rudy Giuliani’s down ballot effect. She disappears from politics for a few years until she is appointed deputy Attorney General by President Al Gore in his second term fresh off a 1996 victory. She has a very challenging confirmation but gets confirmed and serves anyway. She later in 2008 runs for State Assembly in New York and pulls out a win but in 2016 facing a primary challenger she tries to pull off a scheme where she carpet bags to an Upstate New York district but in a big surprise fails losing by 3 once again to yet another moderate Republican in an upset she then retired to her law office where she works to this day.

What if Chechnya won the war?

Chechnya today is a rather unique nation loved as a concept by the broader Islamic world but geopolitically very complicated. Chechnya is the far north of the Islamic world a “Pillar on the Wall” as Ramzan Kadyrov says. But things are much more complicated see Chechnya has had a notoriously icy relationship with Russia because of a variety of reasons but mainly: Putin’s territorial ambitions, Kadyrov’s persecution of some Christians and his political opposition and much more. The west is no better an ally as despite Kadyrov personally leading military campaigns that have stamped out most jihadists in Chechnya his People’s Hope Party has both a powerful Salafi Caucus and multiple high level officials possibly even Kadyrov himself with business interests in Afghanistan. Chechnya has few allies apart from Iran who is seemingly their main ally guaranteeing their existence for at least a few more years with significant economic concessions while Afghanistan is a more covert but respectful ally.

What if Weimar soured on Hitler?

[Script for approval by the chancellor]

[First Draft]

[Poorhouse hundreds of bums as far as the eye can see Hitler laying on bed closest to camper he slowly wakes up wearing tattered robes reminiscent of a Roman Emperor]

*Hark to all Aryans! I am your god! Bow before me!*

[his words cause great uproar among the bums who all together pick Hitler up and throw him out of the poorhouse he then stumbles down the street clearly drunk and heavily so] 

Narrator: Herr Hitler is very popular among the lower class

[After many jeers he finally comes upon a little child licking a lollipop he grabs it from him]

*You exist to serve! In your second life the lord Shiva will grant you great re-*

Narrator: Herr Hitler is a very kind man 

[The child produces a large mallet and smacks it over his head]

[Multiple children come out of the alley and begin to chase Hitler who stumbles down the street barely evading the children one throws an apple at his head he stumbles into the alley barely evading the children by accident]

Narrator: Herr Hitler, a genius tactician

[Hitler stumbles further not washing himself of the apple. He eventually finds a store which he enters]

*Feed your god or terrible things will come of you!*

[The shopkeep produces a rifle Hitler begins to laugh and laugh]

*I cannot be killed!*

[The shopkeeper fires a single shot Hitler’s face is then covered in soot with a hole straight through his forehead revealing he lacks a brain] 

Narrator: Hitler never gives up

*Is that all you have?*

[The shopkeeper fires again. Hitler coughs up some soot.]

*Oh alright*

[Hitler stumbles out of the Shop and down the street]

*MONOLOGUE*

*Hark! People of Germany! Give up your heart! Give up your life!*

The rest of this screenplay was never found as the animator Franz Von Papen hired to write and animate this piece of propaganda Walt Disney was found dead in his small apartment, poisoned in an assassination which historians look back on as the first of the events leading to the German Civil War in 1937.

America’s Private moment on the brink

George Wallace sat around with his aides one of them speaks up “Okay so uhh…….just to be clear Happy is a non starter?” Another one Frank Andrews nods “Uh yes but there are a lot of other options. I’ve pinpointed three for you”. George is handed three folders John Wayne, Curtis LeMay and George Lincoln Rockwell. The three all nad their own positives and negatives. John Wayne would jumpstart the ticket and maybe hold their suprisingly good poll numbers in the north but would he agree? Wallace called him that night “Well I am flattered but I am not a political man. You need somebody talented right off the bat I am probably the least persuasive guy on your list”. Well it was worth a try thought the campaign George moved on. George Lincoln Rockwell……who? “He ran for governor of Virginia got about 14%. Bull Connor said he’s a real rising star. Perfect if you want someone with real dynamite who can cross the nation a hundred times in a month” George frowned “Just what I want a loser doing my job” the folder clattered into the dustbin. I guess Curtis LeMay it is.
