The Pot Calls the Kettle Black

Unfinished/Incomplete/Work in progress.

In an alternate timeline, after World War II, many smaller parts of countries that were members of the Allied Forces gained independence, all led by Cascadia & her daughter nation, Zootopia. Thanks mainly to Cascadian Federal Government propaganda, these countries united into a military, economic, & political confederation to oppose the Central Banks first & foremost, & protect themselves against the spread of Communism second, united under a constitution very similar to Cascadia's Federal Constitution.

The Nations Against The New World Order, or NATNWO, was formed.

Its Armed forces were supposed to first see action on May 14th, 1948, the day that Israel declares independence, joining other countries in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war putting in full military force and utilising state-of-the-art military equipment & tactics with well-trained troops, which was to include World War II-style bombing campaigns, artillery, & naval bombardment, & sending in Airborne, Marine, & Conventional infantry forces to finish the job, & special forces to hunt down wanted individuals.
This is all to hunt down central bankers who were based in Israel, as that hunting down central bankers based in England, France, or especially, the United States of America with conventional forces is out of the question due to their military power, not to mention how a war of such a scale would affect the rest of the World.

But, that plan did not come to fruition, as that at the time, Cascadia was just starting to rebuild itself, many newly independent NATNWO members had limited resources inherited from their parent nations & were switching over to & standardising on Cascadian-style military equipment & creating their own training, doctrine, strategies, & tactics. Zootopia inherited very little, being required to build itself with tools, funding, & assistance provided by Cascadia. 

Thus, the plan was called off. But, the NATNWO always kept a strong armed presence in the area, with military bases on Cyprus (a member country) & surrounding countries that despised Israel. This escalated even further from 1963-1968, as a reaction to several events, which are;
. The assassination of the American President John F. Kennedy and Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, which involved Israelis. 


. The formation of the Israel American Public Affairs Committee, which acts as an unregistered lobby for the Israeli government to control the United States Federal Government (particularly Congress). 




. The rise of the U.S.A.'s Military-Industrial Complex, which incentivized the U.S. Federal Government to have a hawkish foreign policy. 


All are a lethal mixture.

Over time, yet another problem was the media. The Israeli government & many Israeli businessmen or companies own, control, or otherwise influence foreign media, along with their hasbara programs. This gave the Israelis an enormous advantage over the NATNWO. 

And the Israeli government's creation of nuclear weapons, Talpiot kill switches on infrastructure, & pursuit of bioweapons escalated tensions even further.


Since then, the NATNWO Combined Naval Forces built up a "blockade fleet", a large fleet of warships, auxiliary ships, & even several floating offshore bases, always ready to activate.
Along with the fleet, the NATNWO has funded propaganda & even carried out false-flag attacks to keep the governments of nations surrounding Israel from signing peace treaties with Israel or declining requests by the NATNWO to establish military bases on their soil.

The NATNWO, however, was lazy about supporting the Arab states during the Arab-Israeli wars, not quite giving them enough support to actually defeat Israel until World War 3. 

In the meantime, whenever the United States Federal Government does something on behalf of the Israeli government, deployed NATNWO military forces are always on standby for the order to invade & attack Israel.

When the NATNWO invaded Israel, during & even after which it commits horrendous human rights abuses, even attempting to sterilize people believed to be ethnic Jews. 
It was proposed to simply deploy viruses in Israel to kill ethnic Hebrews, & then use more conventional methods, from terror bombings & missile bombardments to airstrikes & infantry coming in to kill survivors who remain.
Even more Israelis were killed AFTER the war than during it. Just a few would be gutting people, & raping females, including elderly women & young girls, 

One propaganda piece said, "Kill them all. Men old men, children, and women. After you have amused yourself with them, Kill. Nothing in Israel is guiltless, neither the living nor the yet unborn. Break the pride of the Israeli women. Take her as your legitimate booty. Kill you brave warriors, of the victorious forces of the Nations Against The New World Order", & it was required of troops to take women & girls, gang rape them including large objects, & then kill them when they're through. Men who resist get literally sawed in half.

One said "We'll kill every Israeli when we're done with them, Hebrew will only be spoken in hell" (5:12)


The only reason why the Israeli people were not completely & brutally exterminated 




So why name this story "The Pot Calls the Kettle Black"?

The NATNWO hates Israel, Saudi Arabia, & NATO. But, when the NATNWO invaded Israel, it committed horrendous war crimes. It's the Pot (NATNWO) calling the Kettle (Israel, Saudi Arabia, NATO) Black (calling them out for human rights abuses to win brownie points for the rest of the world, not because they actually cared about the Palestinians or anyone else for that matter).



The explanation for why I am doing this:

I, at first imagined the NATNWO as being more or less good, avoiding causing unnecessary or unjustifiable damage or committing human rights violations. But this changed after listening to a talk (the second one, specifically) between the historian & political analyst Ryan Dawson & historian & author Tom Goodrich, which described war crimes committed by the Allied Forces. After listening to the interviews between Dawson & Goodrich the documentary Hellstorm, I decided to make the story be darker, from affably good vs evil to evil vs evil, & have what the NATNWO forces did to Israel to reflect what the Allied Forces did to Germany & Japan.
The propaganda piece that I described was copied almost word-for-word from a propaganda piece by Iila Ehrenburg (30:11 in the documentary, 45:40 in the second interview).

1:49:59
In this timeline, instead of the NATNWO using diplomacy to solve problems and using its armed forces to protect its borders (which they do in an alternate timeline), they're using the full might of their military to go after a few dozen to a few hundred individuals (the powers that be, mainly bankers, people involved in the Military-Industrial Complex, lobbyists & government officials) while killing hundreds of thousands to millions of people just to capture or eliminate the aforementioned few hundred, which involves an utter disregard for the most basic human rights (the bombardment and invasion of Israel), only continued when one individual (a Six-star General, which I'm proposing to be either Tyrannicus Tiger or Shere Khan) wanted to eliminate a perceived problem group (namely Jews & Wahabi & Salafist Muslims).


If anyone wants to make art for the TPCtKB story, I really ask that they make it serious, & especially do NOT fetishize rape (no rape art) or satirize anything, because this is an intentional reference to disgust, shock, or otherwise emotionally move people into opposing war, & if possible, get their foot in the door to listening to the truth.
When it comes to anyone who wants to do collaborative writing, if you write about war, please make it as dark as Tom Goodrich's books (or the documentary Hellstorm) about war. It does NOT need to be Warhammer 40,000 levels of grimdark (which is not realistic & would be hard to take seriously), but it does need to be dark while being realistic.
Please feel free to ask questions.

"War is the refuge of the sadists." - Tom Goodrich, historian & author. 18:30

* Real-life Cascadia & NATNWO government firearms & military, paramilitary & tactical combat uniforms

Unfinished/Incomplete/Work in progress.

DISCLAIMER: companies that design, create and/or manufacture firearms, to my knowledge, do NOT endorse their firearms being on this list, & the users of these firearms listed here are purely fictional.

Over the years, Cascadia has fought to defend its independence from the central banks. To help in this, the government looked at designs from around the world, and improved on them and added features.
Note: almost all manual action rifles had K98 “German style” sights, along with a bayonet mount if the original didn’t, & bolt action rifles had curved bolt handles if the originals didn’t.
Every long-gun will be equipped with a brown sling or, later on, camouflaged slings.

Also, even when export is permitted, most firearms go to civilians and the export of firearms to foreign governments are rarely permitted.

This list will not include artillery pieces.

Rifles and submachineguns:

Before 1860:
Lorenzoni repeaters.
Pepperbox rifles.
Girandoni air rifle.
Ferguson rifle in 75 caliber.
Kammerlader rifle in 10 bore.
Treeby chain gun with detachable belts.

1861-1864:
Henry repeating rifle (main rifle).
1858 Remington carbine.
LeMat Carbine.

1865-1896:
Winchester lever action series; all model 1873 rifles were chambered for 44-40, with a 12-gauge shotgun barrel on top.
The Remington Rolling-Block in 50-70 government (for snipers).
Winchester 1876 in .45-70.
Gewehr 1871.
Fusil Gras mle 1874.
Remington-Lee Model 1879, with post-1886 variants being chambered for 7.5x55mm.


1897-1936:
Mauser C96 carbine chambered for 7.62x25mm with a detachable magazine, detachable stock, select-fire, and finned barrel.
M1899.
It's based on the Mauser 98 action, but a few differences from the Mauser was a modified bolt handle & cock-on-close action to make it faster to fire, using the same magazine as the Browning Automatic Rifle would later use, coming standard with a scope mount, having a threaded-on muzzle brake, having an Arisaka-style monopod, & having checkering on the stock's pistol grip & on the hollowed out bolt knob.
Remington Model 8 in .25 Remington with 25 round detachable magazine.
Winchester 1907 with select-fire, 20 round magazine, and ejection port cover.


1921-1950’s submachinegun: Cascadian Thompson in 7.62x25mm, with a folding stock similar to the later M1A1 carbine and usually issued with a 100 round drum.
It was supplemented by the SIG MKMS in 7.63x25mm for crewed weapon & vehicle crews.
In 1939, in response to the influx of refugees in Europe who have little to no hands-on experience with firearms, the Cascadian government wanting to save a little money, & thanks to the capture & import of a German MP-38 by Military Intelligence, the SMG-39 was born. The SMG-39 is essentially what the MP-40 would have been if it was chambered for 7.62x25mm.

1936-1952:
M1937 Garand, essentially the BM59 Mark IV in 30-06 and taking BAR magazines.
M1 carbine with forward pistol grip and retracting wire stock.
Sturmgewehr 43/44 (captured, in limited use).
Sturmgewehr 45.

1953-1995:
FN FAL  sand cuts in the bolt and receiver, a large charging handle that can be used as a forward assist (like the Israeli FAL), sand cuts on the receiver, bolt, & bolt carrier, a top cover that allows the use of stripper clips and loading loose rounds, a Galil-style folding stock, folding trigger guard to use with Arctic mitts, large magazine release, large bolt catch, & large safety lever. Threaded heavy barrels were generally used with lengths from 8 to 22 inches. Most handguards were like the Israeli FAL with the addition of either a Galil-style bipod or, on post-1965 rifles, side-mounted bipods to fit the XM148 grenade launcher.
Supplied accessories are an L1A1 style folding charging handle, and an L1A1 style stock with a hooked buttplate.
A small number of modernized variants are still in storage to send to troops facing ammunition shortages for 7.62x51/.308.

G3 & HK33:
The NATNWO version has an ambidextrous four-position "safe, semi, 2/3 round burst, & fully-automatic" trigger group, free-floating match barrel, tungsten filled bolt carrier, heavy recoil buffer, reinforcing rods on the receiver, extended magazine release, extended charging handle, forward assist, shell deflector, bolt finger grooves, target-style pistol grip, & folding carrying handle.
Each individual firearm is also supplied with two stocks, being a four-position sliding stock, an adjustable stock, along with extended selector levers, & two hand-guards, one ventilated slim & one with a bipod.
Both with modernized features (mainly being rails) are, even after the 1990's, are still in limited use for personnel that are in absolute need to have compact rifles.

1978-1994: Steyr AUG.

1994 onward:

ACME Revolution, similar to real-life POF Revolution, with ModularLock rail interface system (identical to real-life M-LOK).
ACME Multi Caliber Rifle. Would be the same as a real-life Faxon Firearms ARAK-21/31 on a Windham Weaponry RCMS receiver.
ACME , similar to real-life Colt CM901.

LeMat revolver.

1865-1897:

Revolvers:

1898-1948:
C96
M1904 pistol. Physically identical to the real-life Chinese NT04 pistol.
M1911 Mod 1. Basically what would become the M1911A1, but in machine pistol form. Usually chambered for 7.62x25mm overpressure, but some were chambered for .45 ACP (especially for protection against wildlife).

Combat uniforms:

Since its war for independence began, the Cascadian armed forces (military, law enforcement, & civilian militia combined) always had troops wear "coyote brown" uniforms with black buttons.
In the mid 19th century, combat uniforms were made out of denim started to be issued as that they were more durable & better suited for rough military & paramilitary usage.

Later in the 19th century, more modern cotton tunics were in use.

In the early 20th century, cargo pants & a uniform shirt. It is similar to the real-world British Army's later Series 95 No.9 Tropical Combat dress in cut, but has different features, being;
Both:
. BDU-style covered buttons.
Shirt:
. Shoulder straps.
. Rounded collars that can be turned up into a standing collar, & closable with a button.
. Several breathing holes in the armpits.
. Angled bicep pockets.
. Cuff with internal button.
. Optional triple pencil holders on forearms.
Pants:
. Diamond crotch.
. Large bellowed side cargo pockets with inverted pleats.
. Bellowed rear pockets.
. Front slash pockets.
. Bellowed "pistol magazine" pockets over slip pockets on thighs & calfs.
. Reinforced knees. Since the 1950's, reinforced knees had velcro closures to allow the insertion of internal knee pads.
. Reinforced seat.
. Blousing strings.

Material weight: 3.7 oz(?).

These were were adopted for general use. There were two main colors: coyote brown for ground-based wearers, & midnight blue for maritime wearers.
They also featured loops to attach brush to, a feature that later Cascadian derived uniform designs will have.

Along with this, white camouflage overwhites for use in snowy environments were also issued.


In the early 1930's, with the help of a German art professor known as "J. Schick", the Cascadian company ACME came out with a six-color camouflage pattern that was, aside perhaps from color shades being adjusted to fit Cascadian terrain better, very similar to World War two era Waffen-SS camouflage with patterns for all seasons.
There are also two similar variants, one for maritime use with only four colors, being dominant navy blue with deck gray, haze gray, & black, & a three-color variant for urban use, that is charcoal gray dominant with tan & sage green.

This camouflage pattern is designated as the "Dot Pattern Family", or DPF.

An experimental five-color version of the DFP in a color scheme similar to MultiCam was also produced for troops who are deployed to diverse environments &/or to troops who, for whatever reason, cannot practically have multiple specialized camouflage patterns on hand. This was soon replaced, however.

in 1947, a new pattern, designated the "Blob pattern", was introduced. It is identical to Mil-Tec's Arid Woodland pattern. It was more commonly used to camouflage vests, belts & like gear that would be impractical for militaries to change out for different environments.

When Nations Against the New World Order was founded, Cascadian military uniforms were donated to member countries plus printing machinery so member countries can print the patterns on their own.

In the late 1970's, the "combat shirt" was created, which was like combat fatigues but with a thinner t-shirt like torso to make it more comfortable to wear & a mandarin collar to protect against chafing from slings & vest straps.

In the late 1990's, ACME developed a camouflage pattern similar to real-life Hyperstealth US4CES family called "DigiFractalCam", with a total of fifteen patterns which are to be worn depending on the specific environment that they're to be used in.
Another 30 have been created mainly for commercial sales & for use by troops stationed at or operating in highly specific environments.
A digital maritime pattern was also made for wear in maritime environments in order to prevent personnel on the exterior of watercraft from potentially increasing their craft's infrared or radar signature or becoming targets. The blue-dominant pattern also hides the wearer when they fall into blue water to prevent them from being targeted by the enemy.

The "21st Century Work Uniform", the 21CWU, is identical to Crye Precision's G3 Combat Apparel. A fire resistant version is made out of 80% Modacrylic, 15% Viscose, 5% X-Static. An "Extra Light" variant is more similar to Beyond Clothing's A9-E, made out of a Cordura blend that contains at least 60% Egyptian cotton.

Trivia:
. The use of blue and gray dominant camouflage patterns for uniforms & gear worn by maritime personnel while underway (Naval, Coast Guard, & Marine boarding teams) was inspired by the articles Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) selects Hyperstealth's Camouflage for their Ground and Naval Uniforms & Get thrown into the water, you die in modern U.S. Navy/Abandon Ship! Prepare to Die!: How the U.S. Navy lives in Denial and is not ready for combat, which talks about the need for naval troops' uniforms to provide near-infrared resistance & to camouflage them while in the water to conceal them from enemies trying to kill them.

Using The Pen Before The Sword

In this alternate timeline, the Nations Against The New World Order both politically and militarily acts more defensive. Instead of having its Combined Armed Forces wage war against Israel, Saudi Arabia, and NATO, its Armed Forces will be configured for border and homeland defense, with their navies being configured and used to keep vital maritime trading routes open. These countries were significantly less militarized than in "The Pot Calls the Kettle Black" timeline. Most importantly, the NATNWO used diplomacy before military force.
