The Installation of the West END
As the 20th century dawned, the world stood on the brink of monumental change. Amidst this turbulence, the Enlightened Nations of Democracy (END) quietly orchestrated a revolution, embedding a secret network across America, Europe, and Eurasia. Their goal? To reshape global order through influence and control, using their shadowy arm, the Global Operations of Defense (the G.O.D.), as the tool of choice. The G.O.D. was tasked with military intelligence, surveillance, and propaganda—creating a silent yet omnipresent force that would steer history’s course for decades to come.
The timing of the END’s rise was strategic. As the Industrial Revolution and a surge in nationalism swept across Europe, they saw an opportunity to direct these forces towards their vision of a new world order. They cleverly exploited the era’s unrest, turning the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand—a carefully orchestrated act by Young Bosnia, an END-aligned faction—into a catalyst for the Great War. This war not only tore Europe apart but also dismantled long-standing empires, leaving behind a fractured world ripe for ideological reshaping.
As Europe struggled to rebuild, the END’s influence grew even more insidious. President Woodrow Wilson, heavily influenced by the Committee on Public Information (the G.O.D.’s propaganda arm), pulled America into the war under the banner of democracy. Yet, behind the noble rhetoric lay the END’s true intent: to sow chaos, engineer treaties like the Treaty of Versailles, and plant the seeds of future conflicts, all while crafting a framework for a new democratic facade.
The irony became glaring in the years that followed, as the END’s professed democratic ideals seemed hollow against the rise of totalitarian regimes in Italy, Germany, and the Soviet Union. These new authoritarian powers quickly became the targets of END’s covert operations, as they maneuvered through espionage, propaganda, and support for insurgent movements to destabilize these regimes. While they publicly promoted peace and unity, their clandestine efforts sought to fuel discord and division.
With World War II came a new opportunity for END to expand their reach. They infiltrated the Axis powers, manipulated nationalist movements, and, by the war’s end, managed to split Europe into a democratic West and communist East, perfectly positioning the world for the Cold War. Viewing communism as yet another threat to their ideals, the END used the G.O.D. to wage a psychological war, embedding propaganda within culture and manipulating narratives to secure their vision of global democracy.
Yet, as the Soviet Union collapsed, it became apparent that the END’s methods had taken a darker turn. Their tools, once aimed at spreading democratic ideals, had morphed into mechanisms of control. The manipulation of media, arts, history, and even science under a guise of WOKE—Willful Observations of Knowledge Erosion—became a way to stifle dissent, homogenize thought, and uphold a sterile form of democracy that served only the END’s interests.
As the 20th century came to a close, the utopian dream offered by the END revealed its true colors. The world they shaped, initially filled with promises of liberty and equality, had become a vehicle for control and suppression. What had once been an aspiration toward enlightenment had evolved into a system of covert tyranny, cloaked in the guise of progress and freedom.
This legacy of the END serves as a stark reminder of the perils of unchecked power. Their influence, once portrayed as a beacon of hope, now cast a long shadow, revealing the delicate balance between freedom and control. The question remained: was the END a force for enlightenment, or had they become architects of a new age of subtle, pervasive tyranny? Their machinations left the world grappling with the true cost of peace—an illusory harmony achieved at the expense of the freedom and diversity that define humanity.
