Alternate New History

Podcast Episode 002: Alternate History

Hello, my name is Nicholas. I am a 39-year-old man and I have a disability called Autism. 
I am making this podcast because, I would like to talk about a topic that might have crossed everyone’s mind once in a while, or at least one time in their lives.

What I would like to talk about today is another time travel thought and that is alternate history. Things such as:  Stop Hitler before the Nazi occupation got traction; stop an assassination from happening; save the lives of people from a horrific fate; change the results of an election or vote;
stop bad things from happening.

If I could change historical events even though good things came from a bad or horrific event, would I still change the outcome of the events? Yes, I would, because I want to have a better and perfect world!

A tragic event that I would like to change the outcome to would be on Saturday June 9th 1979. There was a fire on the Ghost Train at Luna Park in Sydney which killed seven people. It was claimed to be caused by an electrical fault and an accident but in reality, it was the opposite. It was caused by arson that some eyewitnesses and an Australian artist Martin Sharp thought according to a 2021 ABC documentary series, Exposed: The Ghost Train Fire. 
This documentary, which can still be viewed at ABC iView, goes through the events that happened after the tragedy. There were organised crime and political and police corruption there in New South Wales, and the corrupted figures and the bikies operating in the area at the time. 
Martin Sharp was heavily invested in the Sydney Luna Park investigation, as he was a main figure in its restoration.

Now, with the event if one thing could be changed without effecting the outcome of all the corruption coming to light, I would change the deaths that occurred by telling the people “don’t hop onto this ride!” and I would call the people to leave and go home. 

The ride would still unfortunately burn down as it did, but there would be no tragic loss of life.

 

Why do you want to change these events? Because I want to stop the people from hopping into the same fateful ride and save them. There were conspiracies about arson and extortion from organised crime and police and political corruption.  

If we did change the outcome of deaths in this tragic event, would the same outcome come to pass? 

Because there’s still a link between the same disaster, organised crime and police and political corruption. 

 

The changing of a political election would outcome, my thought would be the 2016 American presidential election. 

I want to put all of the people -the whole population of the United States Of America- to vote Hilary Clinton in the same presidential election by to make her to become as the first female U.S President. But I would go and stop Russia and the Russians along with Facebook and its staff from hacking, fixing and rigging the result in this presidential election before the announcement in the voting result of that American presidential election on Tuesday November 8 2016. 

If I did stop all the rigging of the election and the outcome was not different, I’m having a fifty-fifty thought… It’s hard for me to choose which version of the election will be the best if I want to escape from the real world to an alternate world like Sliders television series. 

 

One more thing before I go... Another alternate history I would like to discuss, my thoughts would be 9/11 when John Howard was the prime minister of Australia and George W. Bush was the president of USA.

I would send a team of people to stop them mid-flight after the plane set in motion, catching them in the act but not ki
