Actor Mark, Who Killed Markiplier, A Date/Heist/In Space With Markiplier
(propaganda from the submission that I'm giving a separate post because of it's size)
He was born around the late 1800s I think? He grew up in the same house as The Colonel/William J. Barnum and was friends with Damian and Celine. He ended up marrying Celine and becoming a famous actor, while William went off to fight in the war and Damian became mayor. However, at some point William and Celine had a relationship and she cheated on him. After Mark found out, he shut himself away from his friends and stayed in his manor, which was haunted or something. He blamed the cheating on William, assuming that because he was so rich and famous, he made her cheat on him and she DEFINITELY didn’t do it because Mark was a selfish asshole. He came up with a with a plan to get revenge on William because it was entirely his fault and JUST his fault and not Celine’s fault because how could she have consented to that when he was so cool and charismatic???
I think he was also somewhat corrupted by the house, which was evil. But a lot of the characters that go there don’t always notice it because they’ve come into contact with it a lot and are used to it. Except for the Groundskeeper (I forgot his name, might’ve been Frank?) who knows the house was evil and refuses to go in and maybe Celine (she’s magic). And so he invites his friends back to his manor (Markiplier Manor, he randomly decided to change his own name to seem more fancy and William judges him for it) and has a party! The attendees are: Damian, the Chef, the Butler, Abe the Detective, the Colonel (William), and us, as the District Attorney. We were invited by Damian because we were friends in college and now work with him. They gamble and drink and the D.A. falls asleep at 1:00 AM. Everyone else is also asleep by then, except for the Colonel and Mark. Mark gets him drunk and convinces him to play Russian Roulette. But it was rigged. He tricks William into shooting him, and in a panic he throws the body down the stairs and tries to cover it up. The D.A. is recruited as the Detective’s partner (his full name is Abraham Lincoln and every partner he’s had has died a tragic but comical death). They try to figure out the murderer, and Celine (the Seer) shows up, to everyone’s surprise and tries to use you to figure out the mystery. However, her work is interrupted.
At one point the Chef mentions the Groundskeeper, and so you go to interrogate him. Celine stays behind to continue her work, and Damian decides to watch her (they’re twins, Celine is older). The Colonel is still in his bedroom, sleeping. The Groundskeeper states that he hasn’t gone in the cursed manor for years and wants to keep that streak. Only some horrible and incredibly specific circumstances could lead to him going in. Suddenly, there’s a flash of light inside the manor and everyone runs towards it to see what happened, the Groundskeeper saying that these are the circumstances. When they get in, Damian and Celine are missing and the Colonel is awake and very confused. No one knows what happened, and one by one, the employees leave, not wishing to reach the same fate. You, the Detective, and the Colonel are the only ones remaining. Abe and William end up having a confrontation, ending in Abe being shot and the D.A. being shot by accident. You end up in a strange black void with Damian and Celine.
They explain to you that the house is evil and pulled them in to this void so that Mark could steal Damian’s body (EVEN THOUGH HE WAS ONE OF THE ONLY INNOCENT PARTIES IN THIS AND ACTUALLY WANTED TO MAKE AMENDS… FURTHER PROOF THAT ACTOR MARK IS A GODDAMN ASSHOLE) and that they used the last of their energy to pull you here to explain. Their bodies are gone, but yours is still there. They could all be in your body with you and track down Mark to get Damian his body back.
You agree, and you end up back in your body, getting up to see William cradling Damian’s cane (my boy…). He sees you and realizes that it was all a PRANK! If you’re not dead, Damian and Celine aren’t dead! Of course they’re not! It was just a silly prank! He can’t believe he didn’t figure it out before, it was so obvious! And so he goes away to search for them… calling out through the house for his lost friends. You look into the mirror, and crack your neck. The mirror shatters, and becomes your prison.
Your body walks away without you. That’s ‘Who Killed Markiplier?’ along with some backstory! Next is ‘DAMIAN’ ! (You can watch all this stuff on YouTube btw, it is Markiplier) Damian lives with his twin sister, Celine. She’s only older by a bit, but she’s very bossy. They live in a cabin in the snowy woods. Every day, Damian goes out to chop wood for the fire while his sister goes out to hunt… something. One day, he sees a small pink flower (It represents William, or Wilford Warfstache, as he’s known now) thriving in the ice and snow. He goes home with enough wood and tells his sister about the flower. She tells him to sleep. He sleeps, and the next day he goes back and the little pink flower is still there, somehow living for another day. He goes home with enough wood and tells his sister about the flower. She tells him to sleep.
She actually said the exact same things she said yesterday, but different because Damian responds differently. I think there might have been a scary painting at one point? Damian goes to chop wood for the fire, but he hears Celine calling out for help. Being a good brother and a good person in general, he immediately heads towards the voice, and ends up on a lake covered in ice. The ice breaks, and guess what? ACTOR MARK IS HERE ONCE AGAIN (to be a bitch)! He says something about Celine tearing his heart out if she saw him again, and tells Damian that he, Mark, is the hero of this story. Celine shows up to ruin the fun, and Mark leaves, soon enough. Damian convinces Celine to let him help her for once, and he decides to give Mark the villain he wants. Celine finally gets some rest, and Mark gains control of their (the D.A.’s) body. In ‘A Date With Markiplier’ and ‘A Heist With Markiplier’, the viewer is the main character and Mark is the other main character. In some endings, Mark leaves for another character (also played by Markiplier but different from Actor Mark himself) to be important to the plot of a couple endings. At one point he tries to separate from you in the sewers and whenever you actually agree you instantly end it. During most of the endings, he seems to be mostly friendly, but in some he’s just a douchebag. In ‘In Space With Markiplier’, I think the real Mark has said that Engineer Mark and Actor Mark are not the same, but I don’t really remember. I think that’s all I have to say. There’s a lot I didn’t say and probably some videos I forgot. Anyways I hate this guy, he’s an asshole"

“President Ford’s regular weekly accident took place this week in Hartford, Connecticut, where Ford’s Lincoln was hit by a Buick. Alert Secret Service agents seized the Buick and wrestled it to the ground. No one was injured in the accident, but when the President got out to see what had happened, he tore his jacket sleeve on the car bumper, bumped his head, and stuck his thumb in his eye. Alert Secret Service agents immediately seized the thumb and wrestled it to the ground. . . . Concerning the collision, New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison says he will immediately launch an investigation into the ‘second car theory.’"

Driver who killed "Gone Girl" actress Lisa Banes in a hit-and-run last year was branded a "danger to everyone in New York" by the victim's wife on Wednesday - prompting a Manhattan judge to imprison him Prison sent up to three years
Brian Boyd, 27, who pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter in the September case, was sentenced to one to three years in prison in the June 4, 2021 collision that fatally injured the popular 65-year-old actress .
"Boyd is a danger to everyone in New York," Banes' wife, Kathryn Kranhold, said at the hearing. "Whoever crosses the street with right of way".
She said "my life stopped" when Banes died after 10 days in a coma.
Brian Boyd — the driver who struck and killed “Gone Girl” actor Lisa Banes in a hit-and-run near Lincoln Center — will spend 1-to-3 years behind bars.https://t.co/02lRnl0NPL
— New York Daily News (@NYDailyNews) November 30, 2022
Incident Details
The actress was on her way to dinner with her wife on the Upper West Side when she was run over on 64th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.
"When she didn't show up for dinner at 6:30 a.m., I waited a few minutes," Kranhold told the Manhattan Supreme Court. “My friends have assured me that he is fine.
"I fled her apartment and fled Broadway. i freaked out I've called you. I texted her," she said, saying she was taken by an ambulance.
Boyd, who did not have a license and was driving an unregistered moped, got back on and fled, authorities said.
"Lisa was on the ground with her head bleeding and he was taking more care of his bike," Kranhold said. "We know he didn't give up ... Lisa saw him coming towards her, but he couldn't move fast enough — nobody can move that fast."
Boyd was arrested and charged in the fatal accident two months later.
In court on Wednesday, he said he tried to brake before the collision.
"I honked," Judge Gregory Carro said. "I slowed down."
But the judge had none of it.
"You know what? I return your request”, Carro hissed. "Do you want to go to court?"
Boyd said no.
"He learned nothing from that experience," Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Erin LaFarge said. "And that's a frightening thought."
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg called the incident tragic.
"Lisa Banes was a beloved friend, family member and community member whose life was tragically ended," Bragg said in a statement. "New York City continues to mourn their loss with them and I sincerely hope their loved ones can heal and recover."
Banes is best known for her role in Gone Girl opposite Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike and also appeared in Ton Cruise's 1998 film Cocktails.
She was a former Broadway actress and a graduate of the Julliard School in Manhattan.

Here is how you can find a good immigration law firm
A law firm is a business that provides legal services to individuals, groups, governments, and businesses.
A law firm is a partnership of lawyers and other legal professionals who are hired by clients to provide legal advice and representation in court or before administrative agencies and private persons. The term law firm may refer to the association of people working under the same roof who are doing the same work as opposed to individual lawyers practicing alone. Law firms typically have more than one lawyer. In most cases, each lawyer has an exclusive relationship with the client that they represent. Lawyers often form partnerships or hire associates (non-lawyers) who work alongside them at their firm.
What does a law firm do?
Law firms help their clients navigate complex legal systems. They handle a variety of matters — from drafting wills to defending clients in criminal cases and prosecuting them for crimes such as DUI/DWI, domestic assault & battery, drug possession and distribution charges; divorce proceedings; personal injury claims; breach of contract cases; car accidents; real estate transactions; business litigation issues; tax disputes; estate planning matters; traffic violations, etc.
How to find an immigration law firm
Finding a good immigration law firm like Lincoln-Goldfinch law of Austin is not an easy task. Many people think that they can find it online, but this is not true at all. You need to do your research and find out which immigration law firms are trustworthy and which ones are not.
Immigration law is a very complicated field and you need to work with someone who has experience in it. If you have any family members or friends who have been through this process before, then you can ask them for help too.
The first thing that you should do is ask around for recommendations. If you know someone who has used an immigration lawyer before and they recommend them, then that would be a good place to start looking. Another thing that you need to look at when searching for a good lawyer is their website. If they have one and it looks professional and up-to-date, then chances are they are good at what they do!
Once you have found some potential lawyers based on their websites or recommendations from friends, the next step is to call them up and see what their rates are like. Some lawyers will charge by the hour while others may charge by the case or by the package deal that includes all of the necessary paperwork and documents needed for each case type.
Review their qualifications. Most states require lawyers to be licensed before they can practice law in that state. Look up your state’s requirements and check out the attorney’s website to see if they have a license. Also, request copies of any certifications or credentials they may have received from professional organizations such as the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA).
Ask about their background and experience. An attorney who has been practicing for many years will have more experience than one who just passed the bar exam recently. You may also want to ask about their background as it relates specifically to immigration law — such as whether they have worked at an international law firm or served as part of a government agency that deals with immigration issues regularly.

Pioneering Black Actors of Hollywood By Susan King
Clarence Muse and Rex Ingram by Susan King Thirty years ago, the legendary Oscar-winning actor Sidney Poitier reflected on the Black performers who paved the way for him in the Los Angeles Times: “The guys who were forerunners to me, like Canada Lee, Rex Ingram, Clarence Muse and women like Hattie McDaniel, Louise Beavers and Juanita Moore, they were terribly boxed in. They were maids and stable people and butlers, principally. But they, in some way, prepared the ground for me.”
Poitier prepared the ground for such contemporary Black actors and directors currently in competition during the 2021 awards season such as Regina King and Leslie Odom Jr. (One Night in Miami), Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods), the late Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom), Andra Day (The United States vs. Billie Holiday) and Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah).
But it is imperative to remember the veterans from the 1930s-1960s who tried to break out of stereotypes and maintain dignity at a time when Hollywood wanted to “box” them in.
Clarence Muse
Muse appeared in countless Hollywood films often uncredited. And as Donald Bogle points out in his book Hollywood Black, Muse spoke his mind to directors if he felt he was being pushed around or when his characters were stereotypes. Bogle stated, “At another time when Muse questioned the actions of his character in director King Vidor’s 1935 Old South feature SO RED THE ROSE, Vidor recalled that Muse was quite vocal in expressing his concerns. A change was made. Vidor could not recall exactly what the issue was, but he never forgot Muse’s objection.”
The 1932 pre-Code crime drama Night World screened at the 2019 TCM Classic Film Festival to a standing-room only crowd. The film stars Lew Ayres, Boris Karloff and Muse as the doorman at a club owned by Karloff. The audience was surprised that such a stereotypical role was anything but thanks to Muse’s poignant performance. Instead of being forced to be the comic relief, Muse’s Washington is a man worried about his wife’s surgery at a local hospital. Though his boss doesn’t treat him as an equal—after all it is 1932—Karloff’s Happy shows general concern toward Washington.
Muse, said Bogle, “also worked in race movies, where he realized there was still a real chance for significant roles and narratives.” One such was BROKEN STRINGS (’40), which he also co-wrote. It’s certainly not a great film, but Muse gives a solid turn as a famed Black violinist who wants his young son to follow in his footsteps. But the son wants to play swing with his violin.
Muse, who was a graduate of Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, also co-wrote the Louis Armstrong standard “Sleepy Time Down South.” In the 1920s, he worked at two Harlem theater companies, Lincoln Players and Lafayette Players, and 23 years later he became the first African American Broadway director with Run Little Chillun. He continued to act, appearing in Poitier’s directorial debut BUCK AND THE PREACHER (’72), CAR WASH (’76) and THE BLACK STALLION (’79) and was elected to the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame in 1973. He died one day before his 90th birthday in 1979.
Rex Ingram
Tall and imposing, Ingram had a great presence on the big screen and a rich melliferous voice. No wonder his best-known role was as the gigantic Genie in the bottle in Alexander Korda’s lavish production of THE THIEF OF BAGDAD (’40). Born in 1895, he began his film career in movies such as Cecil B. DeMille’s THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (’23). Ingram also has the distinction of playing God in THE GREEN PASTURES (’36) and Lucifer Jr. both on Broadway in 1940 and in the 1943 film adaptation of the musical CABIN IN THE SKY.
Ingram also brought a real humanity to his role as the slave Jim in MGM’s disappointing THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN (’39), starring a miscast Mickey Rooney, who was way too old at 19 to play the part. Ingram, though, breaks your heart when he talks to Huck about how his dream is to earn enough money to buy his freedom so he could join his wife and child living in a free state. And when he runs away, Ingram explains to Huck why he had to flee the widow Douglas: “If one of them slave traders got me, I never would get to that free state. I would never see my wife, or little Joey.”
He also is superb in Frank Borzage’s noir MOONRISE (’48) as Mose Johnson, the friend of the murderer’s son Danny (Dane Clark), who lives in a shack in the wilderness with his coonhounds. Noble and thoughtful, Mose is the film’s conscience and helps guide Danny to do the right thing after he kills a bully (Lloyd Bridges) in self-defense.
Ingram was one of the busiest Black actors at the time and at one point even served on the Board of the Screen Actors Guild. But the same year MOONRISE was released, he was arrested and pleaded guilty for transporting an underage girl from Kansas to New York. He served a prison sentence and for a long time his career was derailed. He even lost his home. Though his film career was never the same upon his release, he worked in TV and on the Broadway stage, appearing in Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, and died in 1969 at 73 shortly after doing a guest shot on NBC’s The Bill Cosby Show.
Ernest Anderson
Anderson never achieved the notoriety of Muse and Ingram, but the actor gave an extraordinary performance in the Bette Davis-Olivia de Havilland melodrama IN THIS OUR LIFE (’42) directed by John Huston. Born in 1915, Anderson earned his BA at Northwestern University in drama and speech. He was recommended for his role in the movie by Davis, who saw the young man working at the commissary on the Warner Bros.’ lot.
Anderson plays Parry, the son of the Davis-de Havilland family’s maid who aspires to be a lawyer. Davis’ spoiled rotten Stanley Timberlake gets drunk, and while driving she kills someone in a hit-and-run accident. Stanley throws Parry under the bus telling authorities he was the one driving the car.
Initially, the script depicted Parry in much more stereotypical terms, but Anderson went to Huston and discussed why he wanted to play the character with dignity and intelligence. Huston agreed. And for 1942, it’s rather shocking to see a studio film look at racism as in the scene where Parry tells de Havilland’s Roy why he wants to be an attorney:
“Well, you see, it’s like this, Miss Roy: a white boy, he can take most any kind of job and improve himself. Well, like in this store! Maybe he can get to be a clerk or a manager. But a colored boy, he can’t do that. He can keep a job, or he can lose a job. But he can’t get any higher up. So, he’s got a figure out something he can do that no one can take away. And that’s why I want to be a lawyer.”
Needless to say, such monologues were cut when the movie was shown in the South. Despite strong reviews for his performance, Anderson never got another role with so much substance. But he continued working through the 1970s and died in 2011 at the age of 95.

From Sons of Anarchy to Mayans MC
Jax's sister must hide from the revenge of SAMCRO enemies, goes to Mayans MC Santo Padre. And he catches the eye of a la presidente.
Chapters 12/20
Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language. They will accept any attention and criticism :)
Part 11
Pov Olivia
- Miss Teller we can do this in two ways.
- Who are you? - Bishop spoke to me.
- Lincoln James Potter, deputy U.S. Attorney's Office - stretched out his hand in his direction.
El Presidente leaned over on the sides and stared at him.
- I understand - he nodded his head - so how ?
He came back looking at me, I breathed and overdid my hair. I looked at Bishop and Taza, they were staring at him with a killer look.
- Should I call my friends ? - he waved his hand behind him.
I looked over his shoulder, about 20 meters from the entrance two police cars were standing. Two policemen were standing by each of them.
- Let's do it calmly - I took a step.
All in all, I didn't even manage to take that step because Bishop's hand landed on my shoulder. Potter took a step forward, squinted his eyes staring at Bishop's patch.
- El Presidente - rubbed his beard - interesting and interesting. Do not be afraid, it has nothing to do with you.
I pointed my finger at the guys who purried something under their noses. I looked at Angel, who was almost burning a hole in my head. I smiled at him uncertainly.
- I would like to talk to a young lady, I have quite sad news to tell her, so I would prefer it in private. So you will allow me to take her with me - he extended his hand to me.
Bishop's grip on my shoulder got stronger. I put my hand on his hands and patted it several times.
- Bish, calm down. Mr. Potter won't hurt me, will he? - I took a look at the blonde.
- Of course not - he smiled - so how ?
I came close to Bishop, he looked at me, but almost immediately returned to Potter with a look.
- Calmly - I whispered in his ear - I can manage, call sons.
He let go of my arm when I moved forward.
- I am so glad - the agent clapped his hands - we will have a long chat.
When we walked away from the entrance I heard Bishop's voice.
- Taza, Hank, we follow them. Angel, call the Sons immediately.
One of the policemen recreated the police car door, I got in the back. I felt like a prisoner, I looked at the house. Bishop, his deputy and El Pacificador took a nervous step to the car. Angel walked out on the porch with a phone at his ear. If they fucking think I'm a traitor now, I had no idea what the deputy attorney general might want from me. But that never bode well. I leaned my head against the headrest and closed my eyes, after thirty minutes we drove to the local police station. Bishop's SUV parked right behind us, Potter approached the door and opened it for me. He stretched out his hand to me and helped me get out, we entered the building. I felt the boys' burning look on me. I turned over my shoulder, Bishop was angry, but I didn't know whether it was me or the whole situation. The officer took us to the room, a table and two chairs on opposite sides stood in the middle. In the middle of the table was a grey briefcase.
- Sit down please - the blond man waved his hand - make yourself comfortable, I know that these are not the luxuries you are used to but I promise that it will not take long but it will be painful.
- What am I here for? - I wrinkled my eyebrows and sat down.
- Do you know what is happening in Charming or what happened there ?
- I haven't been home in a few months, I have no idea what's going on.
- It's sad - he thought for a while - but I have a solution.
He moved the briefcase towards me, I stared at it.
- I think it will change your life, I will give you a few minutes to read the material -
He patted me on the shoulder and left.
Pov Bishop
- What the hell is this all about? - I was snorting while lighting a cigarette.
- I don't know - Taza twisted his head.
- Why do I have a feeling that she could be a mole ? - Tranq spoke to me.
- What ? - I turned my head to him.
- What you heard - he shrugged his shoulders - she got to us to smash us from the inside. I don't know how it came to my mind, maybe it was Jackson's plan.
- I don't believe it. I got out of the car.
I leaned against the hood of the car and stared at the building, I couldn't believe that the young one would have pulled this number off. I trusted her too quickly, I gave her my heart. After a while the car door opened and Taza leaned out.
- Bish, this is Angel. You have to listen to this. It's going to change the whole thing.
I went up to him and grabbed the phone.
- What is it? - I've been growling.
- Pres - he pulled my nose - I called Chibs from SAMCRO.
- And what did you find out? - I looked around.
- They're preparing to bury Jackson and Gemma.
- What ? - I was surprised.
- Jackson died in a motorcycle accident. I mean, he crashed into a truck, and Gemma was shot in the head.
- Are you sure you heard right?
- Yeah, I think so. I mean, I guess this guy wants to tell her. He wants to make her aware of the events in Charming.
- I fucking-- I kicked the fuckin'g wheel - with all my might.
- Pres, what do we do? - He hesitated.
- I don't know- I breathe - stay home as soon as this guy lets her go, we'll come there.
- All right - he nodded and hung up.
I gave the phone to Tazie and lit another cigarette.
- We're going to make a big walk.

Education, Education, Education
Set between The Sound of Drums and Last of the Time Lords
Written by FELIX O��KELLY
The Year that Never Was
The Valiant
The Master sat in the Valiant, looking out across the world he ruled supreme. He smiled. Construction on the ships were on schedule. His remodelling of the Lincoln Memorial had gone well, despite some resistance his forces had entered the Capitol and established his rule. Construction at Rushmore was going perfectly, after he’d had a few public executions. There had been a few rebellions in Scotland, helped by friends of the previous Prime Minister, but a short sharp shock had put those down. Despite that trouble with the Loch Ness Monster. The Norwegian resistance was giving him some trouble, spray-painting Quislings onto the local security offices and disappearing into the woods. But the woods were being chopped down to fuel his industry and soon there would be nowhere left to hide.
And meanwhile, as Earth groaned under his rule, he ripped it up, its plains, its valleys, opening its hills with spacious wounds, digging out masses of minerals to fuel his fleet. The Earth Reptile bases occasionally found as the Earth was torn apart were an utter joy. The Master could sometimes get so tired of only oppressing humans, killing a few Earth Reptiles could add real spice to otherwise dull weeks. Sometimes they even made good slaves! And some new weapons for his fleet as well…
The Master glanced at a map of his world. The Doctor did like those lovely crinkly edges of Norway. Maybe it was time for a bit of remodelling.
There was a cough behind him, and he turned. “And what can I do for you!”
Captain Ironside, who the Master had given the role to partially because he liked the name, saluted. “Master. We’ve brought him.”
“Splendid!” smiled the Master. He glided gleefully down the rail as a figure was dragged in, beaten and bloody.
“Nicholas Clough, I presume!” said the Master.
He recognised the man of course. Nicholas Clough had been one of the rising stars of politics only recently, being promoted to Education Secretary by Harriet Jones. Yet when the fall of Harriet Jones happened, he had left the Cabinet with her. In the election in which Harold Saxon had finally risen to Prime Minister, Clough had announced he was stepping down as MP for Hazelhurst East, a position he had held since the 9th of April 1992. It was the first time Saxon had seen him since then.
The man looked up, through a black eye. “Saxon.”
“Oh, that was the name I used, but you know I am the Master!” sneered the Time Lord. He whipped out his laser screwdriver at which the guards stepped back. But the Master laughed. “Not yet! Haven’t had a good chin-wag since I had that Shaw brought here. Though she was a tad disappointing… not even killing her was exciting.” He turned and grinned horribly at the Doctor, who sat there in his wheelchair. “But the look on your face made it all worthwhile! Just like when I told you about Miss Grant and the grandchildren she… had.”
The Doctor’s face burned with hatred at this.
“Why do you want to talk to me?” asked Nicholas.
The man he had known as Harold Saxon pirouetted round like a ballerina. “Well, you have been spreading some very hurtful things about me” he replied. “And I heard that you met a certain… Martha.” He savoured the word a moment, then spat it out, trying to stay composed.
Nicholas smiled. “Yes. We talked a bit about the Doctor. I’d been wondering who that fellow was ever since Harriet Jones made that broadcast on Christmas.”
“Well, here he is!” The Master pulled the Doctor out of the wheelchair. “Here you are, Mr Clough! Here is the wonderful Doctor!” He flung him back in, the Doctor remaining silent, with the aura of one used to this humiliation.
Nicholas looked worried but composed himself. “Well, there are plenty who resist you still.”
“Yes… Harriet is proving a bit elusive herself” said the Master, his face turning ugly again. “But of course, you were close to her!”
“I left when she did,” replied Nicholas.
“Loyalty… an unusual trait in a politician” replied Saxon. “I should know! Plenty were happy to flock to my banner!” He laughed. “Remember that loathsome Oscar Sudders? Harriet’s Health Secretary? Jumped at the chance to become my Defence Secretary! And that idiot from Richfield South. And of course, the old fool Dumfries! The look on their faces when I made the reshuffle…”
“I’m certainly glad I didn’t take the chance to be your Education Secretary!” said Nicholas.
“So much for wanting to educate!” laughed the Master. “I know how much you politicians talk about education, education, education!”
“Well, I was leaving politics anyway,” said Nicholas. “And I am happy to keep educating people.”
“Oh, what would you need to educate them about!” asked the Master. He pointed upwards. “I have my network, broadcasting the right ideas into their minds! I even have a few loudspeakers set up if I want to give a message!”
He pushed some buttons as if playing a piano, pulled a lever and yelled down the receiver. “PEOPLES OF EARTH! THIS IS YOUR MASTER! JUST TESTING!” He smiled at Nicholas. “It’s 1:15 in that part of the world, it should make the people jump!” He gave a laugh. “Not that it’s too dissimilar to many politicians in the days before my rule, this sort of propaganda! The sheer amount of awful Parties I had to go to to get Ru…” He paused and looked sullen at this memory, then brightened.
“But enough of that! I recall a piece you wrote about me, just before the election! It was called Why I will not be voting Saxon!”
“I think there are a lot of people who regret voting for you now” replied Nicholas.
“Well they should have thought of that beforehand. Not that they ever read your magnum opus. It got pulled due to a word from his Lordship the Paper’s owner, but he was kind enough to send me a copy!”
Like a conjurer the Master produced a paper. He smirked at the Doctor. “I’ve been teaching myself magic! I recall you liked those when you were that little man with the umbrella! Travelling with that… what was it… Dorothy?”
“Ace” said the Doctor. “Her name was Ace.”
“Oh yes! Ace! I remember telling you about her last stand with the Nitro-9… excellent chemical, I’m bottling a bit of it myself for a rainy day! Where was I… ah, the article!”
The Master began reading.
“Let’s see… Clough calls me the most dangerous man in Britain.”
“I was too kind, you’re the most dangerous man in the world” replied Nicholas.
“Oh, still too kind, the Universe!” The Master continued. “Brings up… oh yes, that little car accident which meant I just happened to be elected an MP! Poor old Charles Lichen!” He chuckled horribly. “Talks about dubious businessmen… Well, Salamander is doing some good work for me. And Van Statten’s collection has all sorts of lovely weapons for mass-production!” He commenced skimming the article. “Badmouths me, surprisingly nice about the Shadow Attorney General, badmouths Brian Green… Brings up Lazarus…” The Master was practically blushing as he read of his sinister deeds and scheming. “You’re too kind! I almost wish I could give you a job!”
“Well there will always be people like me, ready to educate against people like you!” said Nicholas. “And that’s what Martha is doing! Giving people hope!”
“Your pathetic people haven’t got a hope!” spat the Master.
“Doesn’t matter how many times you say that, it doesn’t make it true!” replied Nicholas, standing defiantly. “I kept telling people what Martha told me and I’m happy to have done so!”
A smile formed on the Doctor’s face, the first proper one in weeks. The Master glanced around, and his eyes narrowed. He turned back to Nicholas.
“Perhaps.” He took out his laser screwdriver and fired it, blasting Clough to the ground.
“Leave it wherever you found it,” he laughed to Ironside. “I’ll tell the people it’s an education!”
“You didn’t need to do that” said the Doctor angrily.
“No. But it’s fun!”
The Master turned to his transmitters. “Peoples of the Earth, please attend carefully.” He winked at the Doctor. “I always love saying that.” He continued. “I had a meeting with Nicholas Clough. A most educating experience. Just thought I’d let Miss Jones know that! And that I look forward to meeting her!”
But far away Martha continued telling her stories, telling the people of someone who fought against evil. Of giant crabs, of Daleks, of atmosphere-cleaning whales intended to destroy humanity, time-travelling assassins and more. And eventually the stories she told grew in the minds of the people and ended the tyranny of the Master.
And on that day, time snapped back a year. The Toclafane decimation vanished and few remembered the rule of the Master. Instead they watched as the Prime Minister was shot and died.
But they moved on and life went on. The papers about Saxon were covered up by the Lord High Chancellor Brian Green, including Clough’s Why I will not be Voting Saxon, citing security concerns.
Though with plenty more troubles and tricksters like the Master the world was not yet safe…
28th February 2021
England
Nicholas Clough glanced at his article, Why I will not be voting Saxon, written all those years ago. After some lobbying, he had finally been able to get it released for the memoirs he was writing, probably helped by the fact Brian Green was no longer in Parliament. Not many people seemed interested now in history. He sometimes wondered if the country would ever learn, especially as they kept making the same mistakes, falling for the same tricks. Not just in this country even!
But he had to keep trying. And maybe, one day, people would learn. Maybe they would see through the lies that the powerful told. Where there was life, there was hope. Even in the darkest of times.

2020 / 46
Aperçu of the week:
You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time (Abraham Lincoln). Right!
Bad news of the week:
The presidential elections in the USA reveal a lot of ambivalent aspects. Okay, Joe Biden won in the end, but more than 70 million Americans voted for Donald Trump - and none of them can claim not to know what they were doing. In 2016, the whole world had the hope that the office was more powerful than the man. And the Trump election was somehow a clumsy misunderstanding, a kind of accident. With this year's election a clear statement was made. And not a good one.
The following conclusions, among others, seem to suggest themselves: White people fear their loss of social significance. Statistics show that they will already be in the minority by the middle of this century - because today's minorities, especially Latinos, will then be in the majority. So a Trump voter could claim that he or she merely wants to defend the status quo ("Our America!") against all these strange progressive trends of change ("Good old times!").
Red states are and remain red, blue states are blue, and swing states are clearly divided: cities blue, rural areas red. Even candidates with exotic bonuses (not only Trump for the Republicans, but also Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats) are changing something about the blanket party fixes that dominate most U.S. states: New England and the Pacific Coast are Democratic, the Midwest is Republican, the Great Lakes and Florida are battlegrounds. Party programs, specific personnel or campaign content hardly count. One only wants to reassure oneself briefly whether the basics are still right and then succumbs to one's reflexes. Even a tweet is enough for that.
With his reaction to the count, Trump has not only proven that he was wrongly appointed to office, but has also damaged democracy in the USA - probably permanently. In addition, the defeated campaign is threatening with a week-long hangover due to legal measures, which will ultimately prove to be untenable, but will nevertheless spread uncertainty. Moreover, the Trump administration will hardly lift a finger in day-to-day politics until its successor takes office. Nor can it be assumed that there will be a constructive transition that would make it easier for the Biden government to get off to a good start. This is bad, because at the moment every day counts in the USA, like almost everywhere else in the world.
Tuesday was not only about the posts of president and vice president. Most of Congress was also on the ballot papers: the entire House of Representatives as well as a third of the Senate will be filled by new (or old) candidates. Currently, fundamental changes seem rather unlikely; the House will probably remain barely democratic, the Senate barely republican. This is bad, because without a majority in the Senate, Biden has hardly any chance to govern significantly. All that would remain would be more or less symbolic politics. And that is not enough to "heal the national soul", nor to neutralize the national and international impact of the policies of the last four years. So hope for the Midterm Elections. It is just as unfortunate which personnel is now in power. Not only have proven dishonest tacticians without a moral compass such as Mitch McConnell or Lindsey Graham been re-elected, but many newcomers also makes one shiver: Several Republican candidates had spread conspiracy theories of QAnon during the election campaign. Now at least one candidate, Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia, has actually been elected.
So: not everything will be "all right" overnight - most problems were already increasingly noticeable before Trump and will continue to dominate the political agenda after Trump.
Good news of the week:
The (at least European) expectations of the US presidential elections were clear: Trump will be voted out of office, "the adults" will take the helm again. "A re-election of the incumbent would therefore (have been) a fatal signal. Not least because an election victory would call into question one of the great strengths of Western democracy as a form of government: its ability to correct itself (Der Spiegel)". That has now worked.
Many other aspects have also worked: More US citizens participated in the election than ever before. The basis of any democracy, the participation of the people, was heavily emphasized.
With Biden, an upright democrat has won. Harris is the first female vice president, and her parents are from India and Jamaica. The two highest representatives of the people therefore represent the people better than ever before.
Not only the "Popular vote", but also the majority of the electoral votes in Electoral College were won by Biden/Harris. So this time this fundamentally undemocratic electoral system did not lead to the victory of the loser, as in 2000 and 2016.
The election winners are proven political professionals and not newcomers, as was the case with Trump (not to mention his family and companions). Biden was more than just a backbencher in the Senate for 36 years and was also vice president for 8 years. Kamala Harris was Attorney General in California prior to her election to the senate in 2016, a highly operational position combining the head of the state law enforcement agency and duties of a Secretary of Justice.
The elections ran largely smoothly. No court-appealable chaos at the polling stations, no civil-war-like riots in the streets, no voter oppression through legal tricks or threatening from self-appointed "election watchdogs". The counting process in all states also worked or is working smoothly, despite all Republicans' prophecies of doom regarding the mail-in ballots. No problems worth mentioning were reported, the transparency sets new standards, for example with webcams. The challenges in court announced by Trump are therefore likely to be lost in the void.
The media coverage was objective and factual. Even Fox News paid more attention to facts than to Trump's increasingly desperate tweets and, for example, assigned Arizona to the Democratic camp days before CNN. The fourth power in the state was and is largely fulfilling its role.
So: not everything will be "right again" overnight - the tasks are enormous, but the new team will be able to cope with them much better than the old one.
Sense of achievement of the week:
I didn't write about the corona epidemic today. And regarding the overwhelming dominance of this topic, this is remarkable - even an achievement. But there is a joke lately that sums the news of this year up quite significantly: In the year 2050 two historians meet. Asks the first one: "So what's your main focus in history?" The second one answers: "Middle age. And yours?" "The year 2020." "Ah - which week?"
