Volume 4: White Devil Chapter 282 Shooting Yourself
At the Marshall Country Club in Los Angeles, Tommy was carefully selecting golf clubs.
Al Gore, who was wearing the same golf uniform as Tommy and looking at the undulating green in front of him with his hands on his waist, said casually, "Do you know how the scandal of Clinton only going to white-only golf clubs when he was governor was exposed?"
"It doesn't matter. He's already solved it, hasn't he? He's popular with those blacks now. Who the hell cares if he would never appear on the same golf course with blacks before." Tommy selected a club and swung it twice in his hand, saying.
Al Gore looked at Tommy and laughed. "Because he's such a stingy tipper. That guy always thinks he can please women with his ugly face."
"As far as I know, there are indeed many black girls who fantasize about having sex with him. It's interesting to say that although this guy refuses to play basketball with black people, he does not reject having sex with black people. This guy is a hypocritical white person. A real white person should be as self-disciplined as me and be able to withstand temptation." Tommy stood up and looked into the distance and said.
“It’s all about tipping and being mean, Tommy,” Gore said.
"Thank you for reminding me so thoughtfully. The tip I gave you was a little too little, so what do you want me to do to compensate you? How about this alloy club?" Tommy grinned and shook the golf club in his hand at Al Gore .
These are the supporters he selected, SSD alumni brothers he can trust, who are 41 years old this year and in the prime of life. In fact, Gore is not short of supporters. This guy is a hereditary senator. Even if the Gore family in Tennessee is not as prominent as the hereditary politician families of Kennedy, Bush, and Roosevelt, they are also old and powerful families in Congress and are by no means unknown.
My grandfather, Allen Gore, graduated from the University of the Cumberlands in Tennessee and was an SSD alumnus. He became a practicing lawyer after graduation. During the Spanish-American War, he joined the Tennessee Volunteer Corps as an infantry captain and went to the Cuban battlefield. After the war, he served as a judge in a Tennessee court. He later ran for Congress, but died of lung disease shortly after he became a senator.
His father, Albert Gore, now also known as Gore Sr., graduated from Tennessee State University, is an SSD alumnus, a former U.S. Senator, a visiting professor at Vanderbilt University, and a director and vice president of Occidental Petroleum Corporation.
When talking about Gore Sr., we need to focus on the Gore family's non-surname patriarch. Although Gore Sr. lost his father's protection early, he was fortunate to have a godfather named Cordell Hull, who was also recognized by American politicians as the non-surname patriarch of the Gore family.
Cordell Hull was a college classmate of Allan Gore, the elder Gore's father. They were brothers in the same period of SSD and enlisted together during the Spanish-American War. After returning from the war, one became a judge and the other a lawyer. They were the two most outstanding figures in the Tennessee judicial community and complemented each other perfectly.
Later, they both entered Congress. Unfortunately, Alan Gore died too early. Before his death, he asked his good brother Cordell Hull to take care of his descendants.
In order to better take care of the family of his deceased friend, Hull got married at the age of 45 and never had any children in his life. He raised old Gore as his own son.
Hull was the longest-serving Secretary of State in U.S. history. President Roosevelt praised him as his most powerful ally on many occasions in public. This was true. At Hull's peak, he was so powerful that without his nod, the Democratic Party in the South would not vote for Roosevelt from New York. He was so powerful that the American Jews raised funds and President Roosevelt and his wife stepped forward to try to rescue more than 900 Jews who were about to be captured and slaughtered in concentration camps in Germany to the United States. However, the plan was rudely vetoed by Hull alone.
In 1939, more than 900 German Jews sold their homes and fortunes to buy tickets to board a German ocean liner and headed to the waters near the United States in the Atlantic Ocean. American Jews raised funds to invite the Roosevelts to support them. After collecting the platform fee, the Roosevelts only needed to go out to sea and board the ship, which would then change its route and sail into the United States. Even if it was just a short stop, the Jews could get off the ship and arrive in the United States. They could collect money and also gain some reputation for charity and humanitarian aid. The presidential couple thought there was no harm in doing so.
Unfortunately, this matter was discovered by Secretary of State Hull, a purebred Anglo-Saxon white man and a die-hard member of the KKK. He went straight to the presidential couple and said that the president could accept the platform fee paid by the Jews, but they could not board the passenger ship and the passenger ship could not enter the United States. Roosevelt's wife angrily accused Hull of being cold-blooded and sarcastically thanked Hull for not being the President of the United States. Then, when she was about to insist on boarding the ship with her husband, Hull spoke coldly, saying that Roosevelt dared to walk out. He didn't know who the president would be in 1940, but he was sure that the president's name at that time would definitely not be Franklin Roosevelt.
In the end, Roosevelt refused the entry of the passenger ship. More than 900 Jewish wealthy people who bought high-priced tickets drifted in the Atlantic Ocean for an unknown period of time. When they were only one step away from the free and great America, they were brought back to Germany by the same route because of Hull's words. Then they successfully caught up with the German Holocaust against the Jews and were directly sent to concentration camps to produce daily necessities.
When the Jewish representatives in the United States found out that the president took the money but did not fulfill his promise, they went to his house to question him. The first lady told them that it was Hull who prevented the rescue. So the American Jews filed a complaint with the U.S. State Department for discriminating against and indirectly participating in the massacre of Jews. Upon learning that American Jews dared to cause trouble for him, Hull responded very quickly. He issued an order to American consulates around the world, prohibiting the issuance of visas to Jews. At the same time, the proposal to accept more than 20,000 European Jewish children to the United States, which had been considered before, became a cold and impossible possibility. At the same time, a large number of Jewish bullying incidents broke out in the southern United States.
This series of actions made the Jews in the United States develop a good habit of keeping their mouths shut during the years from 1939 to 1945 when Hull resigned due to illness. They never dared to say that the government discriminated against Jews again.
What shocked the Jews even more was that after investigation, they found that Hull's wife was actually a beautiful Austrian Jewish widow. And marrying a Jewish wife and sending the Jews to die were not contradictory to Hull.
Rumor has it that some Jews could not accept the truth and asked reporters to interview him, asking why Hull, who had retired due to illness, married a Jewish woman despite not having a good impression of Jews. Hull's answer was said to be very American: I just don't want to have children to take away my feelings for my friends' children, not that I don't have sexual desires.
The year Hull retired, all U.S. federal officials and even Western high-level officials knew that Hull was a KKK member and SSD white supremacist, but they still recommended him to the Nobel Committee. Ultimately, the committee decided to award him the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his efforts for peace in the Western Hemisphere.
In the hearts of many brothers of the SSD fraternity, whether deceased or alive, Cordell Hull is an omnipotent God-like existence who could watch indifferently as Jews were taken away for slaughter, could tell black people to their faces that racial segregation should be implemented, and could let everyone know that he was a white racist. Yet everyone still gave him all the praises against their will, saying that his massacre and racial discrimination were fully worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Before him and after him, SSD will never find such an influential brother.
This patriarch of the Gore family, who was not from another family, disciplined old Albert like his own son and trained him to be a second version of himself: rational, cruel, and white supremacist. His resume was like a copy and paste. He joined the Democratic Party in college, obtained a double degree in politics and law, started out as a lawyer, and became a member of the House of Representatives. During World War II, he joined the army as a member of Congress, went to the front battlefield to observe and participate in combat, completed reports for members of Congress, served as a prosecutor of the military government during the Allied occupation of Germany, and continued to be elected to the House of Representatives after retiring. No matter how you look at it, he is a dazzling new star in the political arena.
According to Hull's idea, his godson Al Gore should have been able to run for president in the mid-1950s. Unfortunately, Hull suffered from tuberculosis in his later years and was often hospitalized. He could not continue to teach Al Gore by words and deeds. Al Gore got one question wrong. He thought he had participated in World War II and seen the battlefield, so he understood war. In a congressional hearing at the Pentagon in 1951, Gore believed that the words used by U.S. military generals to explain the poor performance of the U.S. military in the Korean War were just excuses. He believed that this was the attitude of the U.S. military trying to blackmail Congress for funding. How could North Korea and the Chinese volunteers withstand the U.S. offensive? If not, they could use nuclear weapons to create a radiation belt to cut off the opponent's retreat, making it impossible for North Korea and the volunteers' supplies and reinforcements to cross the radiation belt, dividing the Korean territory in two and completely surrounding the soldiers whose retreat was cut off.
The US military considered this speech to be the ravings of a warmongerer, and they didn't even bother to respond, saying only that Gore had never been to the Korean battlefield and didn't understand the battlefield situation and the opponent's will to resist. At the same time, they put Gore on the US military's most hated blacklist of congressional idiots, which made Gore lose the favor of the Pentagon and ruined his path to the presidency. The Democratic Party would not choose a candidate who was hated by the Pentagon, because that would be a direct assist to the Republican Party.
However, although he lost the opportunity to run for president, Gore Sr. still sat in the position of Senator of Congress for nearly twenty years, consolidating his family's influence in Tennessee until his son Al Gore grew up and was qualified to take over his political legacy.
Al Gore, the third generation hereditary senator whom Tommy supported with all his might, also had a godfather, that is the owner , the legendary American businessman Armand Hammer. Hammer was Gore's financial sponsor before and had always provided strong financial support to Gore. Even after he was defeated and bid farewell to the Senate in 1970, he asked Gore to join his company as a director and vice president. Of course, in return, most of Occidental Petroleum's heavily polluting coal and fertilizer plants were arranged by Gore in Tennessee, and the coal company was even completely owned by Gore. Gore is responsible for this. From the 1960s to the 1980s, even though the wastewater from coal washing plants and fertilizer factories polluted Tennessee's water sources, Occidental Petroleum was not in trouble with the environmental protection department in Tennessee. Local residents tried to hire an environmental protection company to test the pollution at their own expense, but before the test began, the testers were expelled from Tennessee on various charges of violating state laws and were completely shut up. This was Gore's influence in Tennessee, and he was a senator from Tennessee. He did not raise the pollution issue on behalf of Tennessee in Congress, and Congress had almost no idea about the pollution situation in Tennessee.
It was this long-term close friendship that led Hammer to promise Gore Sr. that he would support his godson Gore Jr.'s future presidential campaign.
In addition to Hammer, the Gore family also has a close relationship with the Rockefeller family. Part of the Rockefeller family's oil processing industry is also located in Tennessee. When Gore was studying at Harvard University and Vanderbilt University, he always enjoyed scholarship support from the Rockefeller family.
It can be said that even without Tommy's support, if Gore really ran in the general election, he would not have a problem with funding. What he lacked was the support of public opinion and propaganda, which was a huge shortcoming.
Because Cordell Hull and his father Gore have too many scandals in the past, the current American environment can no longer accept the behavior and speech of those politicians during World War II. If there is a real election, it is obvious that the Republican opponents will take out all the scandals of their own past and broadcast them to the American people for free on TV.
In the current situation where Jews have occupied Wall Street and Hollywood, if the fact that the old patriarch Hull had forced the Jews to death were exposed and made public, Gore felt that he would be almost like his father in the past. He would basically say goodbye to the road to the presidency. All he had to do for the rest of his life was to continue to control Tennessee and place his hopes for rise on his son.
When Tommy, who was also an SSD brother, contacted him, he did not show off his financial resources. Instead, he talked frankly with Al Gore, who was also concerned about the development of computers, about the computer network and television network plans he was preparing, and described the upcoming Internet era. This made Al Gore see the light. He had been paying attention to computer networks because of his thirst for public opinion propaganda. He always felt that this thing would sooner or later become as popular as television, or even surpass television. If he could seize the Internet position, even if he could only share the same status with traditional media newspapers and television networks, his hopes would be greatly increased.
What's more, Tommy Hawke, who proposed this idea, is from the SSD fraternity just like him.
Therefore, Al Gore has been helping Tommy push for some bills in Congress. Even though Tommy seemed to support Clinton more, Al Gore never cared and just made a serious request to Tommy.
That is, he wanted Tommy, a brother in the congregation, to serve as godfather to his son Albert III, who was born shortly before the two first met.
Hearing Tommy's teasing, Al Gore first signaled his caddie to help him set up the ball, then tried a swing himself. After hitting it, he smiled at Tommy and said, "Of course, I can't wait to see that club."
Then he sent the caddie away, and when there was no one around except Page, Gore looked at Tommy with his hands on the club: "It's unlikely that you just asked me to play a game of golf."
"The situation is a bit delicate now. I threw out the bait, and some fools did jump out and say that my TV station was carrying out damn McCarthy propaganda, but they are all small characters. Are all the well-known politicians so timid now? Why can't they be braver!" Tommy cursed in an irritable tone .
Gore twirled his club: "Is it possible that they became famous because they were not fools?"
"I need a well-known Democratic figure to jump out and I need to punch him hard in the face, but this person has not shown up yet." Tommy looked at Gore.
Gore nodded slightly: "So, you want to choose one yourself?"
"Our New York mayor, the good old Democrat Ed Curtra, has served three terms. His third term is about to end. His poll numbers are very low, and..." Tommy said what he was thinking, but before he could finish, Gore interrupted him decisively and spoke seriously:
"No, he's my good friend. Do you know how hard he worked to campaign for me in New York when I was nominated by my party? Not only should you not choose him, you should support him for re-election, Tommy!"
Tommy seemed to have guessed that Gore would be a bit fierce, but he did not back down: "That guy is a Republican in Democratic guise. He has many more friends in the Republican Party than in the Democratic Party. Moreover, he became the mayor of New York ten years ago with the support of Murdoch's public opinion. It is very reasonable for him to come out and criticize my actions. Then it is also reasonable for me to bring him down to ruin so as to give other Republicans a warning."
"He's going to run for re-election, he's not going to cause any trouble, he's a smart man, he can't come out and accuse you now even if you want him to," Gore said.
Tommy exhaled and shrugged. "So I hope you, one of his few friends in the party, can persuade him to stand up bravely."
"What if he disagrees?" Gore asked after a moment of silence.
Tommy waved to Paige who was not far away. Paige came over and handed the file bag in her hand to Tommy. Tommy patted Al Gore directly in the arms and said, "He is a gay, and the kind you hate the most, the kind that is fucked by other men."
"That's fucking impossible!" Al Gore didn't rush to open the file bag. Instead, he stared at Tommy and lowered his voice: "Although he is not married, but I...he and I, and some other men, were once in a New York club with a lot of girls, and he..."
"Cheating, he likes to be zero, what do you think New Yorkers will think of it?" Tommy retracted his gaze, continued to place the golf balls, and then swung out.
Gore lost his mood to play basketball and asked Tommy, "How did you find out all this, Tommy? I mean, some people did question him because he was unmarried, but there was no evidence. How did you do it?"
"How should I put it? Do you think it is more believable that I traveled into the future and learned the truth that had been hidden for decades from a best-selling book published after his death in 2022 by his nephew who had followed him for many years, or that one of my gay men just happened to share a golf club with the mayor of New York City?" Tommy turned his head and looked at Gore nonchalantly and said, "I won't lie to you, Gore. He is indeed a gay man you hate."
Gore slapped the file bag in his hand and stared at Tommy. "If it's true, if all this is exposed, not only will he not be able to seek re-election, he may have to move out of New York and spend the rest of his life hiding from the anger of New York gays."
"If he agrees to come out and help Murdoch attack me, he will just not be able to seek re-election, but he can continue to live in New York." Tommy also looked back at Gore and spoke slowly.
"How are you going to ruin his reputation? Besides this, are there any other negative news about him?" Gore continued to ask.
Tommy shook his head slightly, then looked at the green in the distance. "Who knows all the dirt on a person? Of course, it's him himself. I'm a soft-hearted person and I like to give people choices. This time is no exception. He can choose to provide a piece of dirt that is explosive enough but still retains his dignity, and release it through the TV station you gave me and Ted's newspaper. Or he can choose a more convenient method. I will directly broadcast the information in your hand on the TV network."
"You want him to jump out and attack you. After the attack, he will personally hand you the gun with the safety off. He can only choose to die in a dignified or embarrassing way." Gore felt his eyebrows twitching uncontrollably, and then he spoke decisively:
"I'm flying to New York."
"There's a flight ticket to New York in the file bag, so I knew you wouldn't stay in Los Angeles for more than three hours." Tommy smiled at Gore, then pointed to a group of people slowly approaching in the distance: "So in order to avoid boredom and waste of venue fees, I also asked Delia and Susan to bring the girls who were harassed by Fox here to relax."
Gore looked at Tommy. "You're a cruel bastard, Tommy Hawke."
Tommy walked towards the crowd with his golf club, saying as he walked, "I'm still far behind Mr. Cold Hull, the old patriarch of the Gore family and the gray godfather of SSD. But I'm trying to catch up with him. See you later.". "
