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 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
