Sowing Dragon's Teeth

 by Steve Payne

Author says: what if D.C. Stephenson had gained power in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" timeline? Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the views of the author(s).

In 1982,

on this day the voters of the tenth Indiana Congressional District elected David Curtiss "Steve" (D.C.) Stephenson to the United States House of Representatives.

The election was the culmination of a personal and political odyssey that had begun with his birth in Houston, Texas. He moved his family to Maysville, Oklahoma where he found employment as a printer's apprentice and became active in the Socialist Party. Driven by a restless pursuit of destiny, he moved again to Irvington, Indiana, where he became a salesman and joined both the Democratic Party and the Ku Klux Klan.

Based on original ideas of Robbie Taylor & Eric OppenWidespread rumours and allegations that appeared to linked him with the abduction of Madge Oberholtzer halted a race for the White House, but did not prevent him from rising to the national leadership in the Klan becoming the Imperial Wizard in 1939. In that watershed year, he marched through Madison Square Garden with members of the German American Bund who were protesting the "Jew Deal" of President "Frank D. Rosenfeld" on President's Day.

Stephenson's greatest contribution to movement occured three years before his death when he convinced the Klan to lift its restriction against members joining foreign-led organizations, clearing the way for the American Bund political party to turn America into a one-party state like Germany. Since the fall of the Greater Zionist Resistance in the early 50's, America has been the last beacon against the darkness of the Nazis; with the KKK's announcement, that beacon seems to be extinguished.


Author says in Robbie Taylor's "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", Neo-Nazis from 1968 travel back through time to create the enemy they had always imagined - the Greater Zionist Resistance, a worldwide Jewish Conspiracy.
The event potrayed in the 1989 TV Series "Cross of Fire" are explored in this context, based on a plot suggestion from Eric Oppen. In OTL he lost the 1920 race and became a discredited, regional KKK leader. To view guest historian's comments on this post please visit the Today in Alternate History web site.
