FREDERICK DELAURO DEAD AT 86


January 14, 2018, Regensburg - President of the United States Government in Exile, Frederick DeLauro, has reportedly died in his sleep in Pontevedra, Spain.

DeLauro has been the President of the U.S. Government in exile since 1999, when he assumed the post after the assassination of President-in-Exile Phillip Kirkweald. Under DeLauro's leadership, the government in exile has curried increasingly strong support for recognition amongst NATO countries, including Great Britain, Ireland, Sweden, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and Italy. From 2000, many countries, Spain especially, pumped funds into the exiled government with the one-day goal of overthrowing the Christian Republic of America.

Frederick DeLauro was born in Appleton, Wisconsin in 1932, amidst an increasingly unstable period in America. The Great Depression was ravaging the country, and an entry into World War II in 1941 divided the country fiercely along political, racial, and sectarian lines. When the Second Civil War broke out in 1947, DeLauro and his family, fearing persecution due to their Catholicism, fled to London that same year. After the United States collapsed in 1954 after a Pyrrhic victory in World War Two, DeLauro's father become a secretary in Margate, England, and his mother became an Italian language teacher in Canterbury.

In 1954, DeLauro dropped out of college and moved to Canada, against his parents' wishes, to live amongst American refugees in Toronto. By this time, the Second Civil War was won by far-rightists, and the new Christian Republic of America was being organized by a coalition of radical segregationists, nativists, Christian supremacists, and a minority of neo-Nazis. In 1955, American Refugees under former Senator Margaret Chase Smith organized into a government-in-exile, which DeLauro eagerly joined that Spring.

From 1955 to 1979, DeLauro climbed the ranks in the government-in-exile until he was nominated to be the Ambassador to Portugal, which he served from 1979 to 1988. He was credited with enhancing Portugal's ties with the government-in-exile as well as securing the government's presence in the city of Porto.

In 1997, The Christian American Republic invaded Canada with the pretense of quashing the government-in-exile. After the capture of Toronto in July of 1997, DeLauro and the rest of the government fled first to Iceland, then to Portugal. A quick succession of sanctions, air raids, and bombing campaigns crippled the CRA and halted any further expansion into Canada. However, to this day, the CRA controls many densely populated Canadian lands up to London, Ontario.

After President Kirkweald was assassinated by CRA agents in 1999, DeLauro became President and was successful in moving the capital to Lisboa, where it would be more exposed to international aid, better infrastructure, and money. DeLauro's tenure has been marked by growing the financial and military prowess of the government-in-exile, as well as establishing outposts and embassies across the world, including China, Japan, Hawaii, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Brazil. The construction of new military bases in the Azores and Cuba have also been some of his successes.

Frederick DeLauro is survived by his wife, Marianna, his daughters Melissa and Janet, and his several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A leadership election will take place on May 24, 2018, to leave time for mourning and reflection, as well as time to prepare for a vote. Likely contenders include Suza Cameron, Acting President and former Vice President and Refugee who fled Kansas City in 1976; Jeremy Wilkinson, Chief of Staff who fled New York in 2001; and Anglo-American Ambassador to France, Veronica Crawford.

American News

News That You Care About. God, Law, and Nation.


TERRORIST LEADER FREDERICK DELAURO DEAD. PRESIDENT HAWTHORNE SPEAKS.

January 14, 2018 -

"President" of the United States Government-in-Exile, Frederick Antonio DeLauro, has died in his sleep in northwestern Spain. He was 86. He served as the leader of the rebellious government since 1999, when the Christian Republic killed his predecessor in that same year.

DeLauro has been wanted by the CRA government and Bureau of Justice since 1980. He has been accused of heresy, anti-Christian activism, anti-American activism, treason, and murder after a terrorist attack in Philadelphia in 2003 was linked to insurgent groups. He has also been labelled as a degenerate and liar by several Presidents, including incumbent Michael James Hawthorne.

In 2007, an investigative report conducted by American News unearthed several criminal connections between DeLauro and numerous financiers and mobsters, including Jews and Papists. The report caused a significant outrage in America.


We now turn to the White House, where our President, Michael James Hawthorne, will speak on DeLauro's death.


"My Citizens, today is a day we can rejoice. It is a day we can celebrate and thank God for giving us.

As of 1:36 PM, Eastern Standard Time, the so-called leader of the rebel forces in Portugal, Frederick DeLauro, is dead.

Simply put, he was a menace on our society. He spread a strain of hatefulness, rebellion, and vitriol from his seat of pride and sin in Lisbon, and we will never forget what he or any other exiled rebel has said about our Nation and people.

However, let's take a minute to reflect on the kind of country we have without the likes of DeLauro. A country of peace. A country of laws. A country of order. A country of hierarchy. A country of respect. A country of purity. And most importantly, a country of God. All these traits are ones we worked for since the dawn of the War of Reclamation. Since the Inaugurations of the Great Presidents Smith and Rockwell. Since the Holy Light appeared to us after a long, dark, sad road of secularism, debauchery, and filth. We have been born anew, and we have stayed pure, but it is under threat by the likes of DeLauro and his co-conspirators.

Imagine an America run by DeLauro: Rampant crime. Disregard for holy and national laws. Chaos. Miscegenation. Rampant immorality and homosexuality. Atheism. Islam. Judaism. Anti-Christianity. This was the ruinous nature of America before our saviours fixed our path in the 1950s. This was the America that was seemingly destined to follow the Devil into Oblivion. This was the America we could not accept.

But, the America that came to be is our America, not anyone else's, and for that alone, I expect us to pray many thanks to our Lord for letting that be. I know I will be, joined by my Mary and by little Johnny and Greta.

Thank you, America, and may God Bless you all."

Honolulu Register

American GiE to vote on New Leader May 24, Expats from Several Countries able to vote


January 16, 2018 -

After the death of Frederick DeLauro on Sunday, the American Government-in-Exile will hold a leadership election to decide on the next candidate. The Departments of State and of Elections have announced that elections will be held at various embassies and consulates in allied countries and states with large refugee populations. These will be: Mexico, Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Liberia, South Africa, Portugal, Spain, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Norway, Iceland, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Greece, Israel, India, China, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, and Japan.

Residents of these countries have been alerted via text, mail, phone, and internet of the upcoming election and the locations where they can vote (tending mostly to be large cities which house a consulate or embassy).

No speculated candidates have announced yet, due to the recency of DeLauro's death. Pundits expect a slew of candidates to announce in early February. Campaigning will be limited to American communities in Europe. Travel to Brazil, Mexico, and Canada is highly dangerous for GiE officials due to the threat of assassination or capture.

Likely candidates include:

- Suza Cameron, b. 1964, Acting President and former Vice President from 2013 to 2018. Born in St. Louis, Missouri and forced to flee her home in Kansas City, Missouri in the late 1970s. She is a left-wing hardliner in the GiE, frequently aligning with policy geared toward sanctions, military action, and economic deprivation against the CRA, as well as stripping it of nuclear weaponry. She has openly spoken of alliances with Hawaii, Brazil, and France. Is said to be personally in favor of militarily retaking the CRA and restoring the United States.

- Jeremy Wilkinson, b. 1970, Current Chief of Staff for Acting President Cameron as well as DeLauro since 2014. Former Secretary of Family Reunification from 2009 to 2014. A centrist who focuses more on evacuation of those who wish to leave the CRA but can't due to the totalitarian government. He is on record as being very anti-war, seeing such a war with the CRA as being devastating to the world.

- Veronica Crawford, b. 1959, current Ambassador to France since 2003 and former CEO of the American Resettlement Fund. A conservative and center-rightist. Raised mostly in London since her family fled North Carolina in 1960. Crawford believes in a total segmentation of the CRA into several regional capitalist secular republics, as well as a deposition of the entirety of the CRA government.

- Rodrigo Garcia Richards, b. 1972, former Mayor of New Princeton, Spain and current Deputy Director of the CIA. Center-leftist who believes in creating a new American state in whatever land is consensually given. Believes that warring with the CRA would be a bloody humanitarian failure, and the best approach would be to starve it of money, resources, and power, as well as instigating revolutions to compel oppressed peoples to overthrow religious governance.

Interesting and mildly horrifying.

What's the state of average people who aren't white, male, straight, Christian, etc. in the CRA? Did the CRA go full Republic of Gilead, or are minorities severely oppressed culturally but not really in a systemic sense, like not actively persecuted by the government a la Nazi Germany? Or something else? This world is interesting and I can't wait to see it fleshed out more.

Thanks!

Your question is very good. A White Straight Male is a very privileged member of society, so long as he is a Protestant as well. Catholics, Jews, Mormons, Muslims, and other adherents to other faiths are treated very poorly and are either second-class citizens or amongst the bottom of the class hierarchy. Women are incredibly oppressed, being barred from owning property once married, as well as barred from several professional jobs outside medical assistant, teacher, nun, housewife and the like. Despite this, there have been a few female politicians and notable celebrities, but they have all been right-wing subordinates who enforce the ideal of Christian womanhood. White women of course are leagues ahead of women of color.

There has yet to be a massive genocide, but African-Americans, Latinos, Asians, Jews, Native Americans, as well as non-Protestants, LGBTQ, Atheists, Laborists, Leftists, and other "undesirables" are barred from holding office at any level, as well as barred from financial, academic, business, and cultural jobs. There is also extreme housing discrimination against them, as they are also barred from real estate jobs. They are effectively ghettoized to inner cities and poor rural areas.

Violence against them is common and usually unpunished, with police brutality being common. The murder rate for black people and gay men is highest, with transgender women and Jews being close behind.

The CRA, and its media, politics, and culture, propagandize heavily on the virtues of hierarchy and class order. Miscegenation between strictly defined races is explicitly banned in the constitution, as well as same-sex marriage, adoption, and intermarriage between income brackets (an enforcement of castes).

The country is incredibly poor and unhealthy, however, due to the stratified class system, the rich and upper classes are filthy rich and have enormous political power and access to healthcare and many institutional privileges not afforded to much of anyone else.

Internationally, the country is not recognized as legitimate by any sovereign state, and only partially recognized by Russia, Kazakhstan, and Libya for trade and diplomatic purposes. Many sovereign states use Russia as an informal intermediary between diplomats. Prior to 1960, many more states recognized the CRA, but a widespread crackdown on political dissidents and civil undesirables brought a wave of sanctions and economic blockades of the country.

Economically, the CRA's financial and banking institutions have been legislated to only provide service to white protestants and only to married women. Economic inequality is staggering and the country is in a perpetual state of economic malaise. Famines are rare but not unheard of. The most recent famine was in 2000 and killed about 500,000.

It is a mostly self-sustaining country, but international sanctions have gradually put the country on a course for economic disaster. It went from the largest economy in the world in 1946 to one of the smallest in 1999. This has allowed countries like Great Britain, France, China, Brazil, and Japan to become the world's most powerful.

SEOUL TIMES

Reports of Famine and Starvation in Parts of the CRA


Seoul, Korea - This is a developing story.

Reports of starvation in many parts of the Christian Republic of America, especially in the Midwest and East Coast, are emerging. These reports, gathered by Korean and Portuguese military intelligence, suggest that a particularly bad growing season last Spring and Summer impacted the states of Dakota, Missouri, Minnowa, and Illinois. It is unclear why this report has just emerged, but it is very likely due to the restrictive state media in the CRA as well as the closed-off nature of the state to foreign media.

The current leader of the CRA, Michael Hawthorne, has not addressed the issue.

The last famine, in 2000, killed 500,000 people and was the result of a crop blight and poor soil health in the Midwest, further impacted by a generally sickly population. The famine resulted in some reforms to agriculture, but President Hawthorne has abandoned agriculture reforms and has instead saw an increase in cultivated land since he assumed power in 2003.

Map of the CRA


BLUE represents Virginia, the so-called "Presidents' State", or what is de-facto an inherited demesne of each CRA president, where he controls all the policy of Virginia as well as the entirety of the CRA from his seat in Columbia (formerly Washington).

DARK GREEN represents states with the highest level of autonomy, with governors able to have some freedom in dictating agricultural, cultural, political, and racial legislation and policy.

LIGHT GREEN represents states with a certain degree with autonomy, but still under strict suzerainty of the theocratic government. These states are largely agrarian and are led by appointees who largely decide agricultural policy but not much else.

ROSE Represents states with severely curbed autonomy and mostly serve as industrial and resource states. Governors here oversee mineral extraction and other industrial issues.

RED represents the areas most resistant to the CRA during the Second American Civil War and thus, the states which were punished the most. These states are exploited by the federal theocratic government and the governors serve directly on the President's Cabinet, unlike other states.

DEEP RED represents occupied territories legally recognized as being apart of Canada and Mexico. These areas have no rights over their governance and their residents are not considered citizens.

United States Department of Military Intelligence, Lisboa Office

Floor (REDACTED), Special Conference Room 0834-(REDACTED)


May 11, 2018

Acting President Suza Cameron sat at the table with General Mary Cromwell, Colonel Murilo Gomes of Portugal, several members of the American, Brazilian, and Portuguese clandestine intelligence, and the Prime Minister of Portugal, João Costa. The Brazilian Vice-President, Madalina Hutschler, just entered after being held up at the Portela Airport due to a bomb threat.

All three were gathered around a large, rosewood conference table full of stacks of papers, graphs, satellite imagery, and pictures. The room was barren, with only roses and orchids on the table, giving the soundproof, subterranean room some life.

"How many people have died so far?" Cameron asked, looking at imagery of barren fields and plagued croplands.

"It's been roughly eight or so months since the first series of crop failures, but it's very hard to tell due to the lack of info getting out. At least 504,000." An intelligence officer said.

"I'm sure this number will rise?" Cameron said.

"Yes. A sleeper agent stationed in Chicago has continually reported droves of refugees coming into the city and its suburbs. If more are coming, I can only assume its because the famine is still affecting the Midwest."

"What's causing such a severe crop blight? Have we ruled out the government purposefully releasing some sort of virus or chemical to kill these crops?" Hutschler chimed in. "After all, the Midwest is and has been the least faithful to the theocracy, perhaps it's punishment?"

"Perhaps." Cameron replied.

"Our best guess is that it's a drought, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the government purposefully destroying crops." The officer said.

After a few more minutes of talking and sliding images across the table, sipping tea, and scanning the reports of mass starvation and famine, the majority of the officers left the room, leaving only Cameron, Cromwell, Costa, Gomes and Hutschler.

"What a disaster." Cameron started. "This will be worse than the famine in 2000. By a lot. By this stage twenty years ago, only 19,000 had died. Now, it's half a million"

"Without sounding..." Hutschler started and then hesitated. "inhumanely opportunistic, this could be the perfect opportunity to use our clandestine organs to spread instability amongst the CRA."

"As much as I love that idea, how?" Cameron asked. Cromwell nodded her head and followed up.

"It's immensely hard for intelligence officers to penetrate the CRA, and it's even harder for them to incite rebellion. They'd get decapitated." Cromwell said, itching her brow at the thought of her officers getting their heads lopped off at the infamous National Justice Square in Pittsburgh, where so many rebels and desperate citizens were decapitated and hanged.

"This is very true." Murilo Gomes chimed in as well. "However, of the intelligence officers we have embedded, and whom have been embedded since 1998, they are very talented and discreet." He said. "A combination of hundreds of American, Portuguese, Brazilian, and Korean officers have since formed a very capable network of spies and professional rebel-starters, and when they receive our signal, they will take down America."

"How? Forgive me for being so naive, but as Vice President, only a fraction of our clandestine efforts were given to me." Cameron said.

"Well, such an operation leaves little room for fine detail, and our officers know they would be put in grave danger." Gomes stated. "But, among them are trained operatives who know how to start a revolution. And do you know how we trained them, Acting President?"

"How?"

"We've educated them on some of the very unique tactics of the OSS, how Americans overthrew the Monarchy in Hawaii, how they split up Colombia to build a canal for their own use, how they kneecapped democracies across the world. There's quite a list of atrocities and very shady decisions by Americans, even before the Civil War. Your former country taught us a great deal on subversion and dirty tricks." Gomes said, his tone becoming sharp and pointed as he continued his dialogue.

"Well, thank you kindly, Colonel Gomes. When I want tips on how to keep slavery till 1881 or illegally plunge into the Amazon, I'll text you."

"Okay now, let's stay polite." Cromwell said, her southern twang punctuating her words.

"Yes, I wish for us to all stay allies and friends." Hutschler said. Prime Minister Costa retreated to a plushy seat by the door.

"Look, I as much as anyone want to disestablish the CRA, but I have to be realistic. The country is collapsing on its own, and I don't want to risk anyone's life in doing what will already happen. Plus, if the government sniffs us out, that puts a target on every one of our heads. They will come after us and try to kill us." Cameron started.

"Yes, of course." Gomes responded. "You are absolutely correct and it's something we, and your late predecessor, have talked about without cease."

"And," Cromwell interjected. "There's the risk of purges and even genocides. If the theocracy suspects their subjects are interlopers with exiled governments, they'll begin killing." She said. "But, although I agree with the acting President, I do see some value in starting a quick revolution that will cause the realm to splinter. If we manage to carve out a friendly democracy anywhere in the country, we can establish a military and physical presence there and look to destroy the CRA by 2021."

Cameron chuckled. "The Crawford Plan, eh?" she said. "I'm glad you are optimistic." Then Cameron paused, folded her arms, and stared into the table, entranced by deep thought. The others watched her silently, with none being able to guess her next words or gauge her next actions. She then began twiddling with her thumbs and looking down, still in some sort of thought process.

Finally, she spoke. "I do recognize the value of such a plan, but I also recognize how f***ed up it can get, and how many thousands will be executed if it goes wrong." She began. "With that said, I can't unilaterally write off such a big idea, so I will be spending some time with my thoughts until I decide. Expect an answer on the eve of the election." She said. With that, the meeting was adjourned.

O GLOBO

American Refugees Elect Cameron to be leader of GiE


May 24, 2018

Rio de Janiero - American refugees, expatriates, and others living abroad have elected left-wing Acting President Suza Cameron to a full, five-year term. The election was a special one, held after the death of President Fred DeLauro earlier this year.

The election, attracting about 95 million Americans across the globe (out of an estimated 159,000,000 in total living abroad), took place on May 24th and was held in consulates, embassies, international schools, and universities across the world. In all but five countries where elections were held, Suza Cameron swept the contests, with her greatest margin of victory being Mexico, followed by Puerto Rico, Liberia, and Israel. Cameron lost Great Britain, Australia, and Canada to center-rightist Veronica Crawford, and lost the Netherlands and Argentina to center-leftist Rodrigo Garcia Richards. Cameron won just shy of a bare majority, earning 48.7% of the popular vote, compared to 30.02% for Crawford, and 18.65% for Richards. The remaining ~2-3% has gone to local American third party candidates, write-ins, and protest votes.

The New Oval Office - Presidential Mansion - Lisboa - The Night of May 25, 2018


Suza Cameron continually felt her palms get clammy all night, but it was now impossible to keep them dry. She was obviously nervous, but she knew the decision she made, when she swept the contest last night, was the right one. It just had to be done. It's been too many years of suffering, too many years of death and oppression, and too many years of wanting to return home.

Cameron looked at the phone on her desk, which connected her with the Secretary of Defense, the Commander-General of the Military-in-Exile, the Directorate of Combined Intelligence, and the Foreign Service Agency. She disregarded her second thoughts and picked up the phone, and punched a secret code into the dial pad.

Three beeps ringed into her ear. At the end of the third ring, the President spoke. "Queen Chariot."

Mary Cromwell's voice was then on the other line. "Madam President?" She asked.

"Good evening, Secretary. Operation Indigo Dragon has been approved and executed."

"Understood." Cromwell said and hung up.

Cameron punched in another secret code, and listened to another series of three beeps before giving the secret code of her own. Dennis Hart, Commander-General, picked up the phone. "Madam President, good evening."

"Good evening, General Hart. Operation Indigo Dragon has been approved and executed."

"Yes, Ma'am. Good night." He said, and hung up.

The President then punched in her penultimate code, and completed the same process as before.

Secretary to the Director of Combined Intelligence, Mark Hsiao, picked up.

"Madam President." He opened. "Patching you through to Director Wallace in Guimarães."

"Thank you, Lieutenant Hsiao." Cameron said. She then heard a sharp tone ring three times, followed by a stretch of static three seconds later, then silence. "Quebec. Charlie. 23732."

Col. Melinda Wallace picked up, the sound of several voices echoing behind her.

"Madam President, hello." She said.

"Hi, Director. OID is approved and executed. This is your moment." Cameron said.

"Yes, ma'am." Melinda Wallace said and hung up the phone.

President Cameron took a deep breath and punched in the last few numbers that make up the calling code for the Foreign Service Agency. This time, instead of the usual dial tone, this tone was low, quiet, and lasted a few seconds longer.

An automated voice picked up the line and read off a series of geographical words. "Cambridge. North. North. West. Lexington. South." The voice listed. It was cold and robotic, meant to inspire an acute sense of responsibility and fear into the listener.

"Brookline." Suza Cameron said, slowly and deliberately. The voice processed the codeword and then asked for another.

"Papa. Sierra. Yankee. Sierra. Charlie. November. Ten Seconds." It said.

"Castle Grave." Cameron said, again very slowly. The voice gave way to another sharp, annoying tone, before patching to a human being.

"Castle Grave, this is Cross Prince." The voice said, a man who sounded to be in his late thirties but with the steadiness of an experienced spy.

"Cross Prince, this is Castle Grave. Oscar India Delta is confirmed and ready for your execution."

"Castle Grave, this is Cross Prince, we have confirmed." The male voice said, and hung up. The robot voice returned.

"Hotel. Uniform. Ten Seconds." It said. Suza Cameron then looked at a clock on the table, and counted down every second. When it hit its tenth second, she hung up the phone. The President pressed a small button on the underside of her desk. A Secret Service agent came in with a thick, metallic briefcase. He loaded up the phone and closed the briefcase. He slid the briefcase towards the President, who then input a code onto an electronic lock. It clinked shut.

"Thanks, John." She said to the Secret Service officer, giving him a playful wink. She didn't care if it was perceived as flirty, for she was far too shaken and nervous to think about it. Suza did it. She did the thing thought unimaginable, unrealistic, and plain deadly. Whatever happens, it's her responsibility and her career on the line. Maybe even her life.

She rubbed her eyes and exhaled. After standing up to view the gorgeous, flashy expanse of twilit Lisboa, facing the pitch black contrasting expanse of the Atlantic, Suza Cameron slowly left the room and went to her executive suite.

Reports of Civil Disturbance in New York City, Chicago, and Tijuana


July 4, 2018
Rio de Janiero - On the 242nd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, fuzzy reports of civil disturbance are coming out of the American cities of New York, Chicago, and the occupied city of Tijuana, with unconfirmed reports of disturbances in Los Angeles, Houston, and Jersey City. These reports are gathered by citizens illegally recording events, state-run media, and the rare instance of a foreign journalist being allowed in the country.

The day began like most July 4th events do in the country, with President Hawthorne remarking this morning on the "immoral secularism" of the Declaration of Independence and "the devilry of the founding fathers and their ilk." Much of the morning news coverage was dedicated to the government and anti-United States rhetoric. Parades were held in Columbia and New York to celebrate the theocratic government, but they soon devolved into tense confrontations between theocratic supporters and New York residents.



O Globo reports that police have engaged with New York residents who are protesting the CRA, but it is unknown if there have been any serious injuries or deaths. Similar reports are coming in from Chicago, where protesters and self-proclaimed freedom fighters are engaging with supporters of the theocratic government and the Hawthorne presidency. Tijuana, a particularly volatile city under American-occupation, has been reported to host several protests against occupation, with residents waving Mexican flags and burning Christian Republican flags.

This is a developing story.

I wonder, what happened to WW2? Did Hitler win? Or did the Soviets eventually just conquer all of Europe and Japan?

I'll admit, I haven't thought this out very well, but here's a very lazy TL of what I came up with.

-1945 - The US "defeats" Germany (it's more Britain, France, and Russia delivering the final strikes), but is still an economically devastated country and the war fiercely separated the country along various demographic lines, with many supporting Hitler and concepts of racial purity, eugenics, and rigid class structures based on race and religion.

- 1945 - The US drops two bombs on Japan, defeating it and installing an American occupation government.

- 1945 - The Christian National Brotherhood (CNB) is formed as a party and paramilitary organization, with their platforms being the opposition to WW2 and support of fascist policies, as well as support for segregation, anti-miscegenation, nativist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Catholic policies.

- 1946 - Right wing leaders and others are enraged at the ending of Japanese internment. An economic downturn strikes as returning soldiers cannot find jobs and do not spend much money. An already fragile country devolves into civil unrest and the possibility of civil war explodes, with any unity from defeating Hitler is all but diminished.

- 1946 - Civil violence gradually becomes commonplace, lynchings in the South see a horrific revival, and crimes against gays and lesbians, so-called "degenerates", also increase. The newly formed United Nations scraps plans of moving their HQ to New York. President Truman decides to send the national guard to many states.

- 1946/47 - The CNB wins a handful of elections to local seats and a few to Congress, but they are denied their seats due to being deemed terrorist organizations.

- 1947 - The CNB rallies together several similar paramilitary organizations, including the Protestants' Front, American Fascists, America First, and the New Christian Society. They eventually take up arms against the government in mid-summer. The Civil War begins on July 30.

- 1948 - After having much of the South pledge allegiance to the CNB Bloc, with some states overthrowing their constitutional state governments, the CNB forces move into the inland South and Midwest.

- 1949 - The Midwest proves easy to capture due to a fiercely divided population with many whites being sympathetic to nativist policies.

- 1950 - Truman is assassinated by CNB agents. Alben Barkley becomes President but cannot rally a substantial force to fight the CNB, now branded as the Christian Republic of America. With the United States segmented between East and West, California becomes an independent nation and is joined by Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

- 1951 - Barkley is assassinated in public, and the US government is in shambles, with his successor capitulating to the CRA. Much of the Northeast breaks up and proves easy fodder for the CRA and the latter conquers them by mid 1953.

- 1952-1954 - California and its client states are invaded and quickly consumed by the CRA.

- 1954 - The United States government is reformed in Canada as an exiled government.

I’m surprised the regime hasn’t colored the DoI and instead condemns the prior government.

United States Department of Defense - Amadora, Portugal


October 22, 2018 -

Mary Cromwell sat in her office, a steaming cup of tea beside her. The sun was barely leaking in. It was a quarter to six in the morning. She had a harsh LED desk lamp illuminating a pile of maps and imagery centered on the Northeast portion of America. She sifted through many of them while she sipped her tea, discarding several maps she didn't like.

Several of the maps were very detailed, displaying even small towns and villages along tiny streams not found on more general maps. On some such maps, there were various markings in ruby red marker. Circles, x-marks, notes, various arrows going down rivers and approaching big cities.

"New York Harbor. Deep. Suitable for naval attack." read some notes. "Must secure New York, Philly, Boston, Baltimore very early. Places like Jersey City, Newark, Bethesda, Allentown will be next." Read some others, all written by various other low- and high-ranking officials concocting various plans and suggesting courses of action.

Cromwell picked up her phone and confirmed a meeting at 10:00 with the rest of the military leadership, mostly Americans, Brazilians, and Portuguese. A small smattering of British and French military officers would also be in attendance, but they were not instrumental to the plan. With Brazil being, arguably, the most powerful country in the world, they take precedent over long-time, but weaker, allies. Cromwell accepted and embraced it. In fact, she loved it. The American "Military" could not survive on its own without help from Brazil, and as their host country was ever so generous, Portugal as well. Because of DeLauro, Portugal is a solid ally to the United States. Brazil has come around more slowly, for reasons known and unknown. Perhaps its to keep their own power in the West unmatched, or perhaps they fear a devastating war with the Christian Republic. Cromwell couldn't know for sure, and she blamed herself for not knowing. A Secretary of Defense should be savvier, more knowing, but she felt she wasn't. And that bothered her. However, she was committed to bringing Brazil and her United States closer, meeting by meeting. Hopefully, this meeting would be enough for them. Invade the CRA in the northeast, bomb Columbia to smithereens with the aid of Brazilian, French, British, and Portuguese air power, and launch a giant amphibious invasion akin to the Invasion of Normandy.

However, unlike D-Day, they all have less time to accomplish such a feat. The revolts in America were growing. The state media was not reporting on it, but everyday rebels in cities, towns, and villages were gaining power and threatening the theocracy. Cromwell's spies were stunningly effective, and most importantly, alive. The beginning of the year saw a passive, destitute population inhabit the CRA. Now, less than a year later, it was a volatile country, with thousands dying a day to an out-of-control crop blight. Unconfirmed reports suggested a wide-scale revolution was about to explode.

With that said, the invasion must occur simultaneously during a revolution and be accepted by the revolutionaries. They must work with the United States to overthrow the theocratic dictatorship, and as Cromwell hopes, intertwine themselves with what they see as a liberation. Hopefully her spies have been in contact with revolutionary networks, alerting them that their true leaders will be home soon, and riding in with fire and fury. Either way, no one knew when a revolution will occur. Revolutions are fluid, they happen organically after a period of devastation, famine, and misery. The death toll from the famine, and extralegal executions of citizenry, was reaching one million. The French Revolution of 1789 was preceded by a horrid famine in 1787 and 1788, so the similarities were clear to Cromwell. Simply put, they were running out of time.

Exercises needed to launched immediately. Concrete plans established now. They needed to know exactly when, where, and how they would cripple the theocracy. Who they would need to kill within hours of operation; who to set the targets on. They would have a very short window to successfully take the northeast, and an even smaller window to permanently put it under lock. They needed to be on the shores of America as the bombing of Columbia commenced. They needed to take New York and Philadelphia by the first twenty-four hours, and by the first forty-eight, needed to have the CRA leadership with bullet holes between their eyes.

It was a daunting task, but Cromwell was confident. She sipped her tea and burned her mouth badly, but was too focused to notice or care.

Oh wow. Now I'm worried something will stop the invasion at the last minute, which would be devastating to the revolutionaries in the CRA

This is absolutely amazing. One of the best TLs I've seen here. Moar pls! Also, could we know how various known figures from our universe did? Presidents from our US who didn't come to be, for example.

Thanks so much! Means a lot!

Great question:

Truman was probably the last President of the old US, and he could have A.) left the US for Canada or the UK. B.) Killed himself a la Allende. C.) Captured and imprisoned by the CRA. I forgot that he was assassinated in 1950.

Other leaders like:

JFK - Probably fled due to his Catholicism, or was killed by CRA agents.

Barack Obama - Born in independent Hawaii, maybe become Pres or PM of Hawaii.

Hillary Clinton - Probably a poor laborer in Chicago, long dead freedom fighter, or some diplomat working for the UN after she escaped the CRA. Depends on how the Rodhams raised her. Maybe they raised her to be a dutiful CRA supporter, or she broke away from rightism like she did in OTL and fled the country.

Al Gore - Probably a poor farmer.

Bill Clinton - Probably a poor farmer or low-level urban administrator.

George W. Bush - Probably a wealthy aristocrat or leading governmental figure.

Donald Trump - Fully supportive of the CRA and very much a demagogue.

Mike Pence - Definitely a leader in the CRA.

People like Kamala Harris, Tammy Duckworth, Catherine Cortez-Masto, etc. would have been born in less evil countries. Cory Booker would probably be someone to flee to Britain, Spain, etc.

I sure hope we see some familiar faces in this TL. Honestly though, I wouldn't care either way, since the TL stands very well on its own, even if the characters are made up. Keep up the good work

Thank you! And yeah I'm still working on it, plus figuring out world history events since the fall of the US.

Columbia, Capital of the Christian Republic of America


November 30, 2018 -

Deputy Director of Intelligence, Matthew Bing, sat in the back of his black sedan as it drove out of Paul's District (formerly known as Foggy Bottom) and to the White House. He looked out the window and grimaced as he was driven past scenes of destitution, starvation, and depression. Various people, many emaciated, scowled at the passing sedan, giving dirty looks to the tinted, reinforced windows. Bing looked away after feeling nauseous.

After a few minutes, they passed Rockwell Square and the various monuments to various soldiers of the Revolution. The setting sun cast a dark glow on the Square, contrasting the Rockwell Obelisk and the cross sitting atop the spire harshly against the golden-blue sky. Traffic was sparse at this time, with curfew being set to begin at five, and any pedestrians caught outside would be fined. Bing sat back in his plushy seat and withdrew a briefcase from a bag by his feet. The case had a four-digit lock on it, under which was embossed FEAR GOD. Bing's personal document case.

He input his secret code and the briefcase clicked open. Inside was a singular yellow folder, marked confidential. Bing began sifting through the contents of the folder, many pages being headed as OPERATION RED DRAGON. He shook his head several times as he read various documents and intercepted conversations that have since been recorded to a painstaking T.

"God in heaven." He muttered as the sedan turned a sharp corner. The White House stood ominously ahead of them, basked in twilight. Bing scratched his brow as sweat began to develop on his forehead, chills running down his spine and into his guts. He sifted through every page and felt his heart drop. As the car pulled up to a private entrance to the White House, Bing reorganized the folder and locked his briefcase.

Inside the White House State Chapel, he met with Father Joseph Wilton, a close friend of the President, and his own colleague, Father Michael Howard Reading. The Director of Intelligence, and Bing's boss, Daniel Hartley, was praying silently at the front of the chapel, in front of a grand stained glass depiction of the Burning of Joan of Arc. Joan was depicted as being tormented and devilish, with horns protruding from her head and sharp teeth from her jaw. Bing didn't dare interrupt his overlord, as Hartley looked deep in prayer. Only after he was finished, nearly ten minutes later, did Bing approach him.

"Sir Director, I have the intercepted communications." Bing said. Hartley smiled and took the folder, thanking Bing.

"I'll get these to President Hawthorne immediately. Diligent work, Bing. God hates a sloth." Hartley said.

The President, meanwhile, was at a "press conference" with the subservient state media, along with another close theocrat of his, Father George Paris. The two were celebrating the opening of a new church in New Bethlehem (formerly Pittsburgh), a still volatile and sometimes rebellious city. The church was built using coerced labor and de facto slaves, for each brick was laid by a punished rebel and starving citizen arrested for petty crimes. This was of course three weeks after police killed six hundred rebels who attempted to rob granaries on the outskirts of town. The church was just a reminder of who the suzerain was and who they kill.

Instead, Hartley met with Vice President Max Derry, a kind, gentle soul from Tom's River, New Jersey. They met in the Vice President's office in the West Wing, and Derry locked the door when they were both inside.

"Alright, Hartley, what have you received?" Derry said.

"Rebels, from Portugal, are planning an invasion." Hartley responded.

"How do we know for sure?"

"My men are the best at intercepting clandestine dialogues. It's like they were born doing it." Hartley said and continued. "The past two months alone have provided us plenty of irrefutable evidence that the United States will launch an amphibious invasion near Charleston, on May 2, 2019, and another one near Miami on May 4, where they will secure the Miami Port."

"Mighty in heaven, this is quite an invasion."

"Yes, and we see the Brazilians are aiding them with naval technology, ships, weapons, anything of the sort."

"Expected of them, the coloreds seem to love helping each other out." The Vice President said. "What is our counter-attack? What are we doing?"

"Sink them before they get to us. We've already run scenarios in the Atlantic, having the Marian Fleet and Archangel Fleet meet the rebels and sink them to hell." Hartley said. "If not that, we have an air force that can obliterate their gains on land."

"They seem to be trying to re-enact some sort of D-Day." The Vice President said.

"Hardly, we know everything, to the point that they are already defeated." Hartley said. "I'm surprised they thought this would work."

"Surprised?" Derry started. "My boy, the government-in-exile is negrified, judaized, and full of homosexuals, never assume they are smart or intelligent in their decisions."

"Yes, sir, of course."

Derry, the kind soul, spoke "What do you expect of people are led by Catholics and apes?"

The New Oval Office - Presidential Mansion - Lisboa - The Afternoon of December 23, 2018


President Suza Cameron, Secretary of Defense Mary Cromwell, Commander-General Dennis Hart, Director Colonel Melinda Wallace, newly officiated Chief of Staff Vanessa Kilmer, and Colonel Gomes all sat in the Oval Office, sipping tea and eating sandwiches. Secret service lined the room, handling radio and cell jamming equipment to prevent any bugs or wires from recording the conversations inside the room. As an added precaution, music was playing in the background.

"Since November 29, the Christian Republican Navy have been hosting exercises off the coast of much of the Southeast, including the Pamlico Sound, Cape Hatteras, Wilmington, Charleston, and the surrounding waters of Miami. In contrast, there hasn't been much notable movement around New York, Boston, or Baltimore." Cromwell said.

"We've also spotted submarines off the coast of Recife as well. They really think they can scare us." Gomes said, chuckling to himself.

"Our diversion is successful, thank god!" Wallace said, laughing as she takes a bite from a sandwich.

"Let's keep it up. Your people must be really good actors if they can keep this up." Cameron said.

"I'll send them your kind words, ma'am. One of them nearly won a BAFTA." Wallace replied.

"Interesting." Cameron said. "But, let's keep our actual plans exclusive to ultra-secure networks. Just because they're tricked now doesn't mean their interceptors won't be listening in on other lines."

"Of course, our plan is concrete." Wallace said. And then, the music was turned down at exactly 4:15 and the cell jammers turned off.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you are satisfied with the appropriations I've agreed to, but I can't say I'm, uh, into such a fund for enhanced artillery weaponry. Especially not forty billion." Cameron said. Gomes was gone from the room, slipping out once the music was over and he heard what he needed to hear.

Outside, on the busy street of Lisboa, Gomes rendezvoused with his boyfriend, Hugo Alameida, a professional man about nine years his junior. They kissed passionately and entered an unmarked car. Inside the car they chatted about the days events, leaving confidential things unsaid, and spoke about the flight back home. As soon as Gomes kissed his boyfriend's ear and was about to tell him of the fun night ahead of them in the vibrant Portuguese capital, a loud boom paralyzed both men and sent the car careening towards a barricaded sidewalk. Another car, flaming after being in the midst of the explosion, slammed into Gomes' car. The driver was impaled through the leg and torso as the chunks of metal collided. Gomes and Alameida were slammed into the windows and both knocked unconscious immediately as the interior was compromised by flaming chunks of searing metal. Several pedestrians were vaporized by the explosion, while others were traumatized into a state of horror and frenzy.

The Presidential Mansion was put on immediate lockdown, with the President and her gaggle of officials ushered into secure locations. The windows on the first floor were completely blown out, and there was structural damage to many of the walls and doors. Several of those inside of the first floor were lashed by flying pieces of glass and metal. Screaming filled the air as the dust soon settled and plumes of black smoke went up.

Blast Kills 1 in Portugal, Brazilian Official Targeted.

December 23, 2018 -

After reports concerning an explosion in the Portuguese capital of Lisboa have been confirmed, we have new information concerning the perpetrators and victims.

As of the publication of this report, we have confirmed that Brazilian Colonel Murilo Gomes, aged 40, was the target of today's blast in Portugal. He is a member of Brazilian military intelligence and is a frequent co-conspirator with the illegitimate rebel government headquartered in Lisboa.

We also have information that Gomes is a practicing, open homosexual, as ascertained by graphic and immoral pictures found on the internet. His "partner", Hugo Alameida, aged 32, was also targeted by the explosion.

The two men are in critical condition at an undisclosed hospital in the Lisboa area. We have confirmed one fatality, that of the driver of Gomes' car, Paulo Oliveira. There are a reported 108 injuries, many of which are critical.

The Christian League of Defense has claimed responsibility for the bombing, and its leader, Jack Zeleski, has released this video following the bombing.



A media player is linked in the middle of the article. The video shows an older man, sitting in front of a countryside landscape.

Suza Cameron delivers remarks at the Dona Estefania Central Hospital in Lisboa

December 24, 2018


"Merry Christmas, ladies and gentlemen, before we begin, I'd like to take a moment of silence for the people lost because of yesterday's attack." Cameron started her remarks, then bowed her head and closed her eyes. A pained frown developed on her face. After a few moments, she raised her head again.

"I have spoken with the families of Paulo Oliveira, Nascimento Maria Cardoso, Mary-Ellen Craft, and Tiffany Craft; families who have lost amazing loved ones to a force of terrible evil and hatred, a force that seems hell-bent on spreading anxiety, fear, and hatred around the world. I cannot imagine the loss and sadness being experienced by these families, and I ask everyone in this room to keep those who have lost so much in their thoughts tonight. We have established a donation for the grieving families to help cover funeral expenses and to make sure their loved ones are put to the peaceful rest that they deserve and are entitled to.

It is only the terrorists, contracted by the Christian Republic, who would commit such evil on such a happy, warm day. Christmas is a time of togetherness, love, celebration, and unity, and these terrorists brought misery and heartbreak instead. However, we cannot let them define Christmastime for the worse. We cannot let them destroy us, or destroy this beautiful country that we are fortunate to live in.  Portugal is a strong country with a great people, and although it is not my homeland, it is the land that has given me shelter, support, and love,while the Christian Republic would see fit to give me destitution, segregation, and pain. For that, I will be eternally grateful to the Republic of Portugal. When I think of who I am, being an adopted patriot of Portugal is very prominent in my mind.

I'd like to extend my gratitude to our first responders as well, for the firemen, police, and emergency ambulance services who rushed to our aid and made sure every single person on the scene received the care they needed. Without them, the situation would have been ten-times worse. Because of the people who care, such as first responders, helpful civilians, and even concerned passers-by, the terrorists have lost. They can kill us and bomb us, but terrorists will never make caring people go away. They can never make helpful human beings too afraid to step in when the time arises. And for that, I want to let the Christian Republic know that they have failed. They have failed to truly terrorize us and make us afraid to help our fellow people out in times of crisis. They have failed in making us blink, in making us shut our doors and bolt our windows. They failed to cripple our government-in-exile, and they certainly have failed to spread their message of evil and extremism.

I hope my words have a positive impact this evening, but I understand the sadness that this day brings, and now more than ever is an important time for grieving, silence, and rest. Another day, however, will be before us, and Colonel Gomes and Hugo Alameida have returned to stable condition. In times of darkness, there will always be a light, and I want everyone to join me in making sure tomorrow is the arrival of that light. Let's make Christmas Day the best Christmas that Gomes and Alameida have ever received."

The New Oval Office - Presidential Mansion - Lisboa - The Morning of March 15, 2019


Melinda Wallace sat across from Suza Cameron, Mary Cromwell, and Dennis Hart. Sitting next to her were Murilo Gomes' temporary replacement, Daniel DiRossi, and mastermind of the invasion plan, Veronica Crawford.

"If we launch the preliminary invasion of May, we can replicate D-Day and take down the Christian Republic by 2020." Mary Cromwell said.

"D-Day is not a quick enough reference, concerning how long we take, that is." Wallace responded. "I want something like the invasion of 1066. We bomb Columbia on May 13, land in New York and Boston on May 13 as well, and have the CRA leadership dead by June 14. Anything longer will enhance the possibility of a protracted war." She said.

"Plus," Crawford added. "As long as we have a foothold on the continent, the CRA will begin turning on their own citizens if they fear a revolution will be inspired."

"That's what I'm most petrified by," Cameron said. "We can't have another Holocaust. The world said 'never again', and I don't want to be alive for one."

DiRossi chimed in. "With the combined air forces of Brazil, Portugal, France, and Britain, such a quick invasion isn't impossible, but we will need to plan the date and consider tides, weather, and other factors." He said. "We have to be very precise, we can't approximate for such a thing."

"And where exactly are they expecting us to land now?" Cromwell asked. "Have we misinformed them with Golden Dragon yet?"

"Yes, we believe that their intelligence have picked up Golden Dragon, and we can only hope that they are put into a pretty good kerfuffle over it." Wallace responded.

"God, I truly hope this is a concrete plan." Cameron said, taking a swig of the tall glass of water on her desk. "The world hasn't seen an invasion like this in quite a long time."

"I believe we will succeed." Wallace said. "If we fail, we fail America."

"Well, let us model our hopes on your conviction, Colonel Wallace." Suza Cameron said. The group then concluded their meeting and bid their goodbyes.
