Churchill Surrenders, Roosevelt Appeases, the Ubermensch Dominate
It is May 10th 1940 and Churchill is Prime Minister of Britain. The BBC, Guardian and other left liberal news outlets publish polls stating that 60 % of Britons believe that the war against fascist Germany cannot be won and that the French are an unworthy ally. The questions used in the poll were inadequate containing ambiguous phraseology but the news outlets don’t report this – just the summary results. Instead the media focuses on the hardships, the trauma and destruction of war and record pessimist Britain’s dismay in defeating the Wehrmacht and supporting the fast collapsing French army.
Most of the media is hostile to Churchill, and tired of his bombast. One of their favorites - Lord Halifax prevented from being Prime Minister because he sits in the Lords and not the Commons - convenes many press conferences informing Britons that appeasement with Hitler is the safest guarantor of the British empire. The media endlessly recycles Halifax’s editorials in which he states that fighting Germany contravenes international and British law, since the Jews and Poles provoked the current conflict. He maintains that the British empire has no reason to interfere in the internal politics of Europe and that the two empires can peacefully coexist. Such ideas resonate within the media and their polling affiliates. At the end of May 72 % of Britons feel that Halifax’s demand that peace be sought with Germany would be ‘appropriate’.
To support the anti-war group the BBC broadcasts the already long list of dead military, the perils of fighting Germany alone, portrays the Americans as avaricious Jewish dominated parasites unwilling to formally aid Britain, and proposes that Europe united under one state and one leader is a historical destiny, quelling troublesome feuds once and for all. On British state owned TV well known British music stars and actresses are seen meeting with Hitler in attempts to broker a peace settlement, some more of the more raffish lot are photographed sitting atop Panzer tanks and parading in Gestapo uniforms. Many try to convince the British public that continuing the war with Germany would be unconscionable and will kill millions of innocent children and that the British public must stop their domestic military-industrial complex. A top pop song elaborates that ‘Germans love their children too’. Polls in England state that Churchill has only 22 % general support and almost none amongst women, ethnic, environmental groups and gay rights organizations.
Sympathetic documentaries and films are hurriedly shown in England during May and June 1940, in theatres and on state owned TV, pointing out that Hitlerism and Nazism is nothing more than the realization of Germanic ambition and historical destiny. They focus on German discipline, literary and musical achievements and the valid German need for more land. Indeed Hitler is portrayed in such episodes as a great and noble leader, resurrecting a decrepit and shattered Germany. Nazism is depicted in editorials and on campuses as a uber-philosophy and historical life-force, based on great accomplishments, community-love, and national pride – it is the new world order. The destruction of freedom, life and liberal values are never touched upon. Hitlerism and fascism excites the media and academic elite which publish around the clock, sycophantic essays on the dialectical inevitability of fascist power.
When France falls in June 1940 more polls are published in a frenzy of worried activity revealing that 80 % of Britons are pessimistic or uncertain about the war’s outcome with an astonishing 90 % expressing some level of concern about the government’s performance. Some extreme editorials charge that Churchill lied about the nature of the war and the reality of fighting an invincible Germany during his May 1940 Parliamentary speeches. His speeches and statements are re-parsed, picked over and extensively criticized for their naivety, romanticism and extreme patriotism.
Political and media analysts carp about Churchill’s own past including his poor academic record, his dubious military escapades, and his criminal guilt in the battle of Omdurman in 1898 in the Sudan when black native fighters were destroyed by modern military technology. They also point out Churchill’s personal combat against the Boers, the Indians and Afghans, stating that bigotry and racial hatred are at the core of Churchill’s character. Talk shows abound with analysts and those who ‘know’ Churchill stating that Churchill’s past is inglorious and at odds with current post World War One modernity of enlightened thoughtful liberalism. Even his vain, womanizing syphilitic father, a political star that crashed through arrogance and illness is dragged from the history books to prove that genetically Churchill is an unstable character and the son of drunken political bore.
Churchill’s past and own drinking excesses are front page stories, with news analysts and experts linking Churchill’s terrible character with the losing war effort. Many call for not only Churchill’s resignation but his impeachment for not doing enough to prevent the fall of the British expeditionary army and the humiliation of Dunkirk. The BBC reports that Churchill and his Ministers are not only losing the war, but also profiting from war contracts through firms closely allied with the Conservative political effort and that Churchill has sent his own small fortune out of the country to Canada. No evidence is given on these allegations but no proof is asked for. New public polling puts Churchill with a 13 % approval rating and calls for his resignation echo more loudly each day.
The anti-Conservative and anti-Churchill media also stoke antipathy to Churchill’s new coalition government by focusing on the incapability of British forces to fight. While willful, manly Germany prepares for the invasion of the British Isles, the media is adamant that the government is doing nothing. The British Labor party, sensing Churchill’s political weakness, reveal documents which support the position that the government is disorganized and drifting with no rational plan to wage war. A recently demoted Cabinet member releases photos of a drunk Churchill slurring his words at a private dinner function while discussing war strategy, and publishes letters from Churchill to his War Cabinet which apparently prove that Churchill has no real plan of national defense. Clement Attlee leader of the Labor Party, along with Lord Halifax, holds a press interview on an important TV talk show criticizing Churchill for the Norway fiasco along with inadequate funding of the armed forces and a lack of strategic focus. Atlee contends that appeasing Germany for two to three years, would enable Britain to retool and rearm, and cites the Soviet-Nazi pact of 1939 as an example of judicious statesmanship. Indeed Atlee calls for a British-like ‘Stalin’ to take over the government and re-energize its martial spirit. The media gives Attlee’s criticisms wide coverage and some propose that an Attlee government would have a more nuanced and realistic appraisal of confronting Germany, and would be smart enough to elicit support from ‘allies’ and the international community. Media analysis and polls are produced showing Atlee as Briton’s top choice for Prime Minister.
By mid June 1940 Churchill is in a political quandary. He is now facing low poll numbers, a well funded and media generated appeasement bloc, blame for the Norway fiasco, the poor performance of the British navy and the fall of France. German U-Boat packs threaten to strangle the British economy and the reliance on overseas supplies of food and war materiel puts Britain in an extended and seemingly insuperably hopeless position. Unless the British can defeat the U-Boat threat and hold off the Luftwaffe they are doomed to suffer a crushing invasion. German dominated Europe has 400 million people, and the vast resources of the entire Continent at its disposal, with close airfield and rocket positions, which are easily able to reach major English population and military centers. The situation according to the media and experts, is utterly hopeless.
Military, economic and polling data don’t smile favorably on Churchill in June 1940. Press coverage presents the above problems as insurmountable and emphasizes other weaknesses: budget deficits, low gold reserves, inadequate military production, poor military technology, a contracting economy and shows footage of worried sometimes tearful mothers in their kitchens stating that a European war should not claim the lives of their sons unless the international community sanctions military action and proves that war is necessary. Indeed Atlee, the media and other ‘experts’, are adamant that pre-emptive action cannot be taken against Germany, since such activity violates international laws. The exact laws are never produced nor detailed, but the general concept of international law is accepted by all ‘experts’ and media analysts. Thus assured the media supported by polls, states emphatically that Britain must not provoke Hitler’s wrath.
To combat low polling numbers and bad PR, Churchill’s political handlers advise a change in policy and image. Churchill’s stance against Germany is deemed to be too xenophobic and unnecessarily rough. After all didn’t Hitler state that he admired the British Empire and wanted to cooperate with it? With 300.000 men safely back from Dunkirk Churchill can claim a victory of sorts and start to repair relations with the Nazi’s. Churchill’s handlers advocate a kindler, gentler centrist Churchill. Churchill must stop the anti-German rhetoric, open up trade ties with Greater German Europe, understand the importance of the Nazi philosophy in elevating society and developing human greatness, pay homage to the great artifacts of European culture developed by German genius, and admit that he was wrong about the handling of the war’s early period. They propose that Churchill meet Hitler in Paris to discuss the mutual benefices of cooperation and tolerance. Before doing so Churchill will be photographed at German intellectual institutions and gatherings in London and be seen reading Germany history and philosophy in order to show his sensitivity to German high culture.
In late June 1940 Churchill delivers a press conference clarifying the change in British policy, and stating that he was mistaken about Hitler and now admits he admires this ‘greatest of German leaders’. Churchill emphasizes that he wants to avoid war, bloodshed and societal destruction and resolve all disputes in a spirit of human rights, love, and cultural relativity. He calls for international arbitration and a ‘New League of Nations’ to adjudicate all disputes between German Europe and Britain. After all, as Churchill states during the press reading, no one can possibly imagine that an Anglo Saxon culture is superior to that of the Teuton. Indeed as provided by the media and sundry academics and the recent Hitlerian success it is clear that Germany is a superior civilization to that of Britain. Lastly Churchill offers peace and implores Hitler to grant humane and favorable terms so that, in Churchill’s words, ‘the great civilizations of German and English speaking peoples, can move forward together to broad sunlit uplands.’
The British public are jubilant. Polls reveal that Churchill’s support rebounds from 13 % to 44 % almost overnight. The press is enthusiastic in their praise of this ‘far-sighted elder statesman who takes the middle and centrist course eschewing death and war’. Atlee and Halifax taken by surprise grudgingly admit that Churchill has implemented most of their ideas, though they caution that ‘many details are missing’. International politicians call Churchill’s volte-face a brilliant and humanitarian move, which ensures peace and prosperity. Amnesty International and the Red Cross state that German dominated Europe does not suffer from human rights abuses or concentration camp murders and lend support to Churchill’s magnanimous gesture, stating that they see little in Hitler’s empire that should spark concern. British music stars and movie celebrity’s hold a gala in which British and German politicians and notables toast their respective empire’s health. Churchill’s handlers rush to provide photo-ops of Churchill shaking hands with assorted celebrities and to be seen chatting to Nazi intellectuals to better understand their civilisational philosophy. There is even one photo of Churchill crying while listening to a Wagnerian opera.
In early August 1940 Hitler and Churchill pose for photos in Paris, shake hands, and commit each empire to a 10 year truce with special economic arrangements. The British are forced to mothball the Royal Navy in a show of good will. Unilateralists are overjoyed and ‘peace missions’ to Germany, which are used to establish a bond of ‘trust and love between the two great peoples’, headed by environmentalists, human rights lawyers, and the well to do sons of the political and business elite, receive ample news coverage.
The media, experts and pundits all state that a world war is now avoided. However the Japanese fuelled by military fascism and jingoistic propaganda are convinced that a supine, lazy, stupid America is an easy target. Meeting in Hong Kong, Japanese and German strategists plan the destruction of US naval power. Hitler states in private meetings that the British can be destroyed after the Germans and Japanese annihilate the US fleet and shipping yards. Without US naval assistance Hitler reasons, Britain naturally falls. Tojo describes the Americans as ‘immoral consumerists and sensualists’, laughing at US culture and backwardness and predicts an easy time of wrecking the US navy. Hitler agrees that if Tojo destroys the US Pacific fleet he will immediately declare war and attack US Atlantic shipping and port installations. Hitler predicts that a combined German-Japanese naval attack will destroy the US navy within 6 months and shortly thereafter Britain can be invaded. Detailed German plans for the destruction of US Atlantic shipping assets is drafted.
On December 7 1941 the Japanese efface the US navy at Pearl Harbor and land paratroopers throughout the island chain, taking Hawaii in a few hours. The remaining US army and naval units in Hawaii capitulate. Tojo’s forces follow this easy triumph with concerted naval and land raids along the Alaskan and Californian coasts. The Germans now join in. During December 1941 the entire US coastline on both the West and East are subject to unrelenting Japanese and German raids and sporadic bombings. The psychological effect on the US is overwhelming. Though Roosevelt declared war immediately after December 7 1941, a section of Congress and the House wanted nothing to do with war or hostilities. Much like Churchill Roosevelt now finds himself under sustained media and political attack. The effective and coordinated Germano-Japanese attacks shake the US to its foundation.
Roosevelt’s war budget and war powers act in early 1942 fails to pass both Houses. The media calls for arbitration between the great powers of Japan, Germany and the US. Opposition politicians state that no international support exists for the US and it is time to negotiate. German and Japanese money, bribes and coercion have been effective in the third world. The Arab league with German money as an inducement, unanimously declares that Hitler’s Jewish policy is the only way to solve the ‘Semitic problem’. In exchange for military and economic support Germany receives favorable oil supplies and prices from the Arab League. Latin America, Africa, and Asia recipients of vast quantities of German and Japanese investments and political arm twisting all declare that Germany and Japan are liberators. The US media dutifully reports that most of the world is anti-american and laments about what can be done.
Regional and national groups in the third world publish a long list of Anglo Saxon crimes and refer to the newly created World Court, indictment terms against both Churchill and Roosevelt. The newly instituted ‘Latin American Freedom League’, and newly created ‘African Unity Bloc’ both proclaim the US and England racist colonial powers and call for the conviction in the World Court of both Churchill and Roosevelt on grounds of ‘the historical and modern destruction of non-white Anglo Saxon peoples and civilizations’. The World Court convenes in recently Nazi liberated Baghdad to hear evidence against the US and Britain. The hastily convened ‘New League of Nations’ sitting in Rome since January 1942 states that Germany and Japan are not guilty of war crimes and have only reversed Anglo-Saxon white imperialism. A proposal is forwarded in the New League of Nations by Germany’s ally Italy, which had just finished the subjugation of Ethiopia, Libya and Tunisia, to force the US and Britain to pay reparations for victims of African slavery. The proposition easily passes.
The media in the US and Britain report these proceedings in great detail and put forward theories elaborating the justness and goodness of the German and Japanese empires and why international institutions, cooperation and above all understanding, are vital. The US media and academic lectures relate statistics which purportedly show both Japanese and German GDP growth rising at about 8 % per annum, with unemployment at 2 %. Polling data shows happy and contented citizens in both German Europe and Japanese Asia. Domestic US and British polls reveal that most consider Germany and Japan to be the harbingers of the future and that both the US and Britain must pay for past crimes of imperialism. A US news poll states that 59 % of Americans believe that Hitler and Tojo have just grievances and historical rights to their empire while 67 % believe that Britain and America were guilty of criminal imperial conduct. Meanwhile US-British trade due to U-Boat embargoes and appeasement philosophies dissipates to 10 % of pre 1939 levels. High unemployment, low trade and investment, rationing, and loss of civic freedoms as both the US and British governments impose drastic security measures and censorship befall both nations.
Shortly after the convening of the New League of Nations in Rome and the expulsion of the US representative on the grounds that ‘US slavery of blacks cannot be condoned in a world body’ , Roosevelt faces domestic impeachment for war crimes for interning Japanese Americans. The thousands of US dead, a destroyed Pacific fleet and ruined communities on both coasts are ignored. The media runs endless recitations of Japanese internment camp footage and abuse. In addition the domestic US political opposition repeatedly and endlessly documents the elitist upbringing of Roosevelt, his avoidance of any military duty whatsoever, his persistent womanizing and whiskeying, and his crippling illness. Privately in back rooms Roosevelt is given an option – officially sign an armistice with Germany and Japan, pay reparations to the New League of Nations for past US crimes, or face impeachment. As well part of this deal includes the repudiation of Churchill and Great Britain and a stern denouncement of the evil actions of the British empire in times current and past. Roosevelt complies. The US media focuses on the terrible conditions of Germans interned in Britain and hails Roosevelt’s volte-face and pro-German policy as ‘far sighted and nuanced.’
In early March 1942 the US ratifies in both Houses a non-aggression pact and economic treaty with both Japan and Hitler. As part of the deal the US must destroy its navy and long range missiles and guarantee that it will not aid Britain in the event of war. Roosevelt signs the document citing poll numbers which state that 65 % of Americans do not like the idea of a war, and that 50 % of Americans do not trust Churchill or the British. The media publish stories on Churchill’s drunkenness, excessive European and German GDP growth and show US actors and writers in Tokyo, who document the perfection of Japanese solidarity and their amazement at Japanese economic success. One actress gushes that she will soon move to Tokyo to be at ‘the centre of man’s future’. The impeachment case against Roosevelt is dropped and the media stops running footage of Japanese internment camp abuses. Roosevelt is saved.
Much to media and academic amazement during 1943 fascist military autocracies take over the main nation states in Africa, Latin America, Mexico, and South Asia. The few critics who protested appeasement under the guise of the ‘domino effect’ are suddenly proved correct. For some weeks the US and British media appear confused. Then the political and media elite begin to recast the story. Indeed the spread of fascism excites the media and academic elite who are effusive of their praise of ‘these strong brave leaders, leading their countries to a better future.’ Only a handful of quasi-democracies remain and these, the mainstream media assures its public, are historical oddities. Ubermensch ideology and communitarian fascism are pronounced in editorials and classrooms as mankind’s future.
The German-American Club for Freedom and its President Henry Ford, explain to the US public that the German model is the society of historical destiny. Ford goes on an extensive public tour describing the massive business opportunities for Ford and other corporations in Europe and his respect for Hitler. After all Ford reasons, ‘Hitler has provided security and continuity – both are essential for business planning.’ On a popular TV talk show Ford describes his thrill in meeting the Fuhrer stating ‘never have I met such a great man. He is a monument of history.’ In contrast Ford describes his meeting with Churchill on the same trip as disappointing and describes Churchill as a ‘sodden, drunken relic of the British racist imperialist past.’ Orsen Wells produces a sycophantic film on Hitler, and George Orwell is first fined then imprisoned in England for writing anti-fascist essays. Environmental studies are published showing how careful Germany and Japan are with their natural resources and how green their societies are. The German idea of recycling plastic and paper using green bins becomes widely emulated. German pop music and Japanese dress become quite popular. Across the US and Britain political science courses dealing with ‘Dialectical Materialism and Fascist Destiny’ become the campus rage and German language enrollments blossom. Sensitivity courses on cultural differences are encouraged in high school.
In a private meeting of the great powers in Yalta in April 1943 Hitler threatens Roosevelt with a combined Soviet-German invasion of the US East coast unless the US increases its shipments in oil and key military-industrial technologies in exchange for bartered goods, labor camp produced product, and Russian wheat. Roosevelt without a Navy complies though he tells Hitler that the concentration camps and Jewish liquidation is creating domestic political problems in the US as reporters slowly report on these atrocities across Europe. Hitler replies that the camps and the elimination of the Jews are mere capitalist fantasies and that Roosevelt must silence such slander. Roosevelt is also non-plussed when Hitler demands, in exchange for decreasing European tariff barriers from 100 to 96 %, that the US limit its airforce to 10 squadrons available for domestic security. High unemployment, lagging industrial production and a world economy which is increasingly marginalized and closed off, dropping polling numbers and unrest in sensitive re-election states, convince the US President to sign the accord. Roosevelt is thus able to proclaim a great diplomatic and economic triumph to the US media forecasting a 15 % rise over 2 years in US exports to Europe. Roosevelt’s poll numbers move up to above a 55 % approval rating with many polls citing that by standing up to Hitler Roosevelt has proven himself to be a strong leader.
Meanwhile in England a confused, and angry Churchill loses his Conservative leadership in a coup plotted by Halifax and Anthony Eden. Tired of Churchill’s obstinacy and endless nagging over German aggression and fascist destruction of liberty, the moderate centrists of the Conservative party assemble a convention and on a one member-one vote basis, vote 78 % in demanding the resignation of the obstinate unrealistic Churchill. Churchill’s steadily anti-German policy is for the Halifax-Eden group not centrist or nuanced enough. The resolution against Churchill was particularly scathing about Churchill’s lack of compassion towards Germanic historical grievances, the role of the Jew in destroying German culture and Churchill’s apparent inability to appear sensitive in public alienating the female, gay and media voting blocs. The political destruction of Churchill according to media polls is favorably endorsed by 72 % of the population.
Weary, sick and dazed by what has transpired Churchill becomes ill and dies 6 months after being ousted from office. Roosevelt in great pain from his polio, fatigued and belittled by innuendo and conflicting poll numbers and media disparagement, quietly slips into death 2 weeks later. Charles Lindbergh takes over the leadership of the Democratic party and easily wins election as President with his party dominating in a landslide both the House and Senate. US polls cite the pro-German Lindbergh with 87 % popular support. Further polls state that 42 % of Americans feel that their best ally is Germany with 32 % citing Japan. Only 15 % believe that Britain is a worthwhile ally. TV media coverage documents the new era of ‘responsible American international orientation.’ Funding for the New League of Nations is doubled. Hollywood starlets burble about the alluring sensual mystique of pure Aryan Nazism. American women flock to Berlin seeking marriage with virtuous beautiful Nazi men and to escape the mongrel culture of America.
One year after their deaths both Churchill and Roosevelt are indicted by their national legislatures and the World Court in Baghdad as war criminals for imperialist crimes against humanity. Six months later Britain is invaded and conquered by a massive Euro-Germany army. In May of 1945 the US agrees to hand over its continental coastal territories in the west to Japan and in the east to Germany in order to avoid a direct invasion. As well the remaining nub of American sovereignty stops all military and nuclear arms production. The US media declares this a realistic foreign policy stating that 64 % of Americans feel that war is evil. A last poll cites 85 % of Americans as being confused and afraid with 75 % stating that they don’t trust the media or the political elite. After Germany and Japan reorder their new US based territories, all media transmission and polling data suddenly and dramatically, stops. It is unclear what percent of the population supported this action.
