[1] "I think he's going to make a serious attempt. I think he started off just getting black people to register and vote, but after hearing him speak I think he sees the importance of having a black person running. Some feel he shouldn't run, but he's as qualified as any of the other candidates. He's receiving a lot of support nationwide. There is a voter registration drive going on and Jackson is the vanguard of that movement." - Eric Adams [1983]
[2] "I believe in the Ross Perot mindset. I want to be judged on how many Black and brown people I make millionaires." - Eric Adams [2021]
[3] The Washington Afro-American wrote of the race, saying the Nation of Islam “led by Minister Louis Farrakhan, has endorsed Mr. Owens' opponent, Eric Adams, in the primary because they believe he will stand up to the Jews.” [1994]
"Minister Farrakhan can only fill a void that Major has left open" - Eric Adams [1994]
[4] Apparently, it was a group of black Republicans called the North Star Republicans of Fort Greene that convinced Adams to trade in his Democratic voter card which he only recently acquired for a shot at rubbing shoulders with philosophical soulmates of House Speaker Newt Gingrich…"Believe it or not, it's a continuation of 'no justice, no peace'," Adams told The Boro Politic. "I believe that there are a large number of closet black Republicans in the city, and if you take a close look at some of the concepts of the Republican Party, you'll see that many of them are our values." [1995]
Further, Mr. Adams sometimes put his money where his mouth was once contributing to reactionary Oklahoma Republican Congressman J.C. Watts. [1995]
[5] Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, facing scrutiny after climbing to the top of polls in the city’s Democratic mayoral primary, defended his past association with the Republican Party as a “personal protest” that he staged in the 1990s. Adams said he joined the GOP because he was upset by the Democrats’ pursuit of the controversial 1994 crime bill signed by President Bill Clinton. [2021]
[6] "Taxi. 'Are you talking to me?' That was the name of the movie, that's the favorite line; Taxi. 'Are you talking to me?'" - Eric Adams [2021]
Other possible Reform Party candidates are Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, New York mega-developer Donald Trump, actor-director Warren Beatty, actress-model Cybill Shepherd, and former Connecticut Gov. Lowell Weicker. [1999]
[7] Other prominent New York Democrats running to be delegates for Mr. Obama include Councilmen James Saunders of Queens and Albert Vann of Brooklyn; State Senators Eric Adams, Karim Camara and Kevin S. Parker of Brooklyn; Assemblyman Michael Benjamin of the Bronx; City Councilwoman Helen D. Foster of the Bronx; and former Councilman Wendell Foster of the Bronx. [2008]
[8] But Adams said he did vote for Sanders over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential primary. [2018]
[9] "I supported Vice President Harris in the 2020 primary." - Eric Adams [2021]
[10] Ye enjoyed a lovely fall afternoon in New York City with former Trump lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen. And because, of course, this could get weirder, NYC’s likely next mayor, Eric Adams, was reportedly supposed to join the pair but was held up at another meeting. [2021]
[11] “I am the face of the new Democratic Party...Look at me and you’re seeing the future of the Democratic Party." - Eric Adams [2021]
This maybe one of the most Boring PODs I’ve ever come with up, but this was based upon watching that slightly naff Thatcher documentary which did mention how a lot of Heath supporters wanted him to step down during the Autumn of 1974 to make way for William Whitelaw.Heath by 1974 was tired, after a frank chat with Peter Walker and a brief health scare in the Autumn of 74, Heath would step down as Tory leader. The leadership battle would be between William Whitelaw and Keith Joseph which would rapidly become a victory for Whitelaw when Joseph was found saying seemingly eugenics based talking points in an interview.
Kaiser Aligned, Anti-Communist Netherlands is rather surreal to say the least.Kingdom of the Netherlands: King William IV (Orange-Nassau) | Prime Minister Hendrikus Colijn (Anti-Revolutionary)
Now this, this is based.Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou (National Democratic Front)
Well...fuck.[32] 1937-0000: Gov. Hanford MacNider of Iowa (Republican)
'36 (with Publisher Frank Knox of Illinois) def. Gov. Paul McNutt of Indiana | Sen. Joseph O'Mahoney of Colorado (Democratic), Frm. Gov. John Brinkley of Kansas | various (Independent), Frm. Rep. Daniel Hoan of Wisconsin | Publisher Solon de Leon of New York (Socialist)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.Russian Republic: President Anatoly Pepelyayev (Independent) | Prime Minister Viktor Pepelyayev ("Pepelyaevite" Constitutional Democratic leading National Coalition)

Well...fuck.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
No, this Wang Jingwei we’re talking about here, he would be the type to big up ‘Teutonic Socialist’ values or similar bullshit to justify his rule.But is it any more surreal than a Kaiser-aligned China under Wang Jingwei?
Well at least Greece in this world is no longer shit and all that.*successfully avenges Venizelos's execution*
*The Business Plot But instead of a Based Socialist, it’s a boring Republican Technocrat*Opportunistic as fuck, perhaps, but appreciates the Concord at the very least.
Interesting, this seems a very Centre-Right dominated Russia to say the least.By the way, I have to point out that Vitya's predecessor as Prime Minister, for a brief period at least, was Nikolai Lvov.
They probably also realise that just leaving the Peasants and Workers to starve is a stupid idea, so I could imagine some awkward Welfare State is set up or some piece of Social Liberal Reformism is set up.Now, for all the authoritarian qualities of the Russian Republic, it's arguably better off than it had and/or could've been under certain other leaders of the 1920s; the Pepelyayev brothers recognize the limitrophe states of the Weltsystem, for one.

This has all the components of being a really good TL to say the least.
eventual assassination of Richard Nixon.
further escalation of the Vietnam War (1955-1981
Bundy Murders (1974-1988)
eventual election of Ernie Chambers,
John DeCamp and Ted Gunderson
1. The Bundy Murders (1974-1988)
Location: various (Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, and Florida)
Target: various
Perpetrators: Governor of Washington and 1988 Republican Presidential nominee Theodore "Ted" Bundy
After the other New Zealand Provinces ejected the Axis-aligned Cantabrian government, the Progressives returned at the head of a government of radicalised guerilla partisans, who combined the maintenance of traditional party structures with the additional spice of being members of the Cominform.
I get that with Gunderson, but why DeCamp? He had a solid head on him and was the brains behind Operation Babylift.Oh no!
Thanks! I've been meaning to get a hold of shiftygiant and ask if I could take the concept and do something with it.Kudos for finding a way to make "Made A Good Lawyer" interesting again.
You reckon I should repost it there?That was a fun list, and the style definitely plays to your strengths. I'd personally put it in the Rundowns and General Gubbins thread, but nobody really seems to care so you may as well keep it here.

Technically true, sure, but the main point of prosecution was about the human trafficking, kidnapping, murder, etc. Ernie got in on it to, claiming he'd received reports of kids from foster homes were being flown out of state on private planes.I see "alleged a Satanist conspiracy ring" and alarm bells go off. It's not steered me wrong so far.
Inspired by @Meppo recent and excellent list, taken from a brief mention of Leo Amery leading a National Coalition;
Micheal Collins (Sinn Fein)
Accusations of increasingly Anti-Semitic language and funding from Michael Collins Sinn Féin would dampen the growth of the party but Beckett would be secure in the knowledge of beating Malone’s Liberals.
The 1935 election was a great shift in the politics of Britain, since the start of the initial Turkish epidemic crisis in 1931
In a similar capacity, Winston Churchill of the Constitutionalists would do the genial Right Wing Populist version of this, decrying the National Government as ‘State Socialism by Any Other Name’ and proposing ‘Progressive Conservativism as the way forward for all’ and extolled virtues of patriotism and imperialism to expectant crowds. The 1935 plan to bring about Indian Dominion-ship would play into Churchill’s hands as the election came.
Leo Amery would gain a second term for the National Government, but would find himself increasingly reliant on the National Liberals than ever before.
suspect
Collins here is a Kemalist sort, in a grand coalition with Irish Labour and a Farmers Party who uses Monetary Reform and Secular Reform to help modernise Ireland. To help deal with the power of the Church, Collins often relies on Nationalist rhetoric and allusions to Celtic mythology. And Social Credit, a political organisation with a base in British Folk Culture and the Celtic Fringe is the perfect organisation to help support his aims.very suspect
I was thinking that, it being blamed on Turkey due to a translation error would work well in a ‘Ottoman Empire continues to wheeze’.I do have to note that it really is a turkey epidemic (as in an epidemic of a zoonotic infectious disease contracted from avian species), but I can work with the Ottoman Empire being erroneously seen as an epicenter.
India would be a complete Dominion though it would be dealing with other problems, like a giant Nationalistic China on it’s border who sees potential in bothering it. Bose would be in the thick of it so who knows, maybe he’s some French inspired Communist or a general authoritarian etc.Hopefully Amery and co. were not considering partitioning India. Also hopefully the Dominion doesn't collapse into ethnic strife and takeover bySubhas Chandra Bosesome unchallenged strongman from day one.
Churchill is arch Imperialist who has racist ideas about the ‘place’ of Indians so letting them run things is a big no no. This is part of Amery’s ‘Imperial Federation’ ideas which he doesn’t entirely agree with but anyway.What exactly bothers Churchill so much about the idea of an Indian dominion?
I realised that Morrison is the type of person who would defect if given a big enough slice of the pie. His ideals of ‘Fabian Decentralisation’ and Imperialism work well with folks like Eden and Chamberlain so...yeah.fusion time
ALL HAIL BARON MORRISON, THE MAN OF THE HOUR
I think he’s friendly with most of the members of the Great Concord, particularly Japan who he views a fellow Imperial nation who can help enforce the chaotic Republican Chinese. He’s cold on Russia, but is friendly enough.Say, if you don't mind me asking, how do you envision Amery's relations with other big powers around that time?
