What if America’s slide into authoritarianism didn’t come through revolution, but restoration?

In this recovered account from Delta-9, a forgotten 1933 conspiracy succeeds: decorated war hero Smedley Butler leads a half-million veterans in a “peaceful” march on Washington. Under the banner of order and patriotism, President Roosevelt is quietly removed, the Constitution suspended, and martial law declared. What follows is not chaos—but stability, efficiency, and slow, relentless control.

Told through the lived experiences of one American family across four generations, this episode traces the cost of that order: the erased voices, the flickering embers of resistance, and the letter passed from hand to hand, hidden for nearly a century. By 2025, the Republic still stands—but something essential is missing.

This is not a theory. This is not a warning.

This is Not This Time.
