Pelley's men seize Long in his mansion, hold a mock trial claiming that he's trying to bring syndicalism into America, and execute him. The Coup: If Long collaborates with Pelley and does not pass the Veterans bill, Pelley will overthrow Long with his Silver Legion with support from former Long supporters who left him after he vetoed the Veterans bill. His instability and bizarre personal beliefs (such as his insistence that he's capable of levitation) affect his policy-making in a negative way.
Many elements of Pelley's Commonwealth of America mirror that of Apartheid-era South Africa: Pelley's expansion of the Indian Reservation system to create autonomous "African-American Reservations" mirrors the Bantustan system in Apartheid South Africa. The Silver Legion creates an internal passport system for blacks to restrict their movement, mirroring the real Pass laws in South Africa. Pelley's quote about the Black Education Act is taken word-for-word from Apartheid architect Hendrik Verwoerd's quote on the Bantu Education Act, with "Bantu" replaced with "Negroes" and "European" replaced with "Anglo-Saxon".Īx-Crazy: Pelley isn't the picture of mental health, to put it lightly. Both men can tolerate their disagreements at the moment, as they have the common enemies to deal with, it's only a matter of time when Pelley will turn on Long if the ultimate victory is achieved.Īllohistorical Allusion: Pelley's coup d'état and murder of Long are known as "Night of the Long Knives", named after Adolf Hitler's purge of the Sturmabteilung to consolidate power. While he aligns himself with Long, he believes him to be too soft on racial and religious issues. Pelley is known for his support of racialism and Christian fundamentalism. William Dudley Pelley is the leader of the Silver Legion, the far-right National Populist faction of the America First Party. Today let me present You yet another flag from KR universe - this time flag of Pelley America.
