I don't like CONCORD. I believe it is a problem that keeps the whole cluster from advancing towards where it should go, and interferes continually with how things should be run.

But, with this said, there are those who have to answer for their actions even before CONCORD does for its failure. And yes, obviously I'm speaking about the Minmatarr Republic, who should be held accountable for breaking the peace and the accords it had signed, killing thousands and starting wars that still fill the stars with unneeded death. Only once the Minmatarr Republic leaders have been put to trial for their crimes should CONCORD and Tibus Heth (and other leaders of the Caldari State) be put to their own trials.

The Minmatar, Amarr, Caldari, Gallente anf the Jove all have crimes to answer for. CONCORD's failure to address these amount to criminal negligence.

Because Far-que... That's why.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? You want CONCORD to completely disclose EVERYTHING about their inner workings... security operations, reactive deployment technology, high-security fortifications (cyno jammers, capsule controls, etc) and all documentation and internal correspondence about it? You want them to show it all to you, who they are mandated to use that technology against?

Furthermore, you completely ignore the total loss of information security that this would cause. You would bare CONCORD undefended against the espionage and sabotage of Sansha's Nation, pirate cartels, and nullsec alliances.

You also want to simultaneously launch criminal investigations against the MILLIONS of hard working CONCORD personnel, many of which simply follow orders of their superiors. Even ignoring the preposterous nature of this, the logistical requirements of handling such a massive effort is staggering.

Who will handle the judgement of CONCORD? You? The CSM? The Council of Stellar Management is a ridiculous collection of puppets, clowns, and mimes. They are wholly unfit to serve as impartial judges for something of this magnitude. They are scarcely fit for the positions they were elected to fill.

I'll let a member of CONCORD speak in response to this, but I would wager strongly that you're a fool for thinking they have not upheld their mandate.

I know exactly how ridiculous this sounds. The call for an public audit still stands.

CONCORD is not as fragile as you assume.

Following orders does not exempt them from criminal liability.

They will be judged by their peers, or as you put, those they are mandated to works against.

I as well as many others would like to hear CONCORD's response to this.

I'm not surprised to see that the famous corporation education doesn't include propper etiquette and manners.

But, in any case, there is one big difference between Empress Jamyl I and the self-appointed leader of the Caldari corporations Tibus Heth: our Empress didn't start a war, didn't invade any planet and didn't threaten another power with the bombing of all civilian population on a planet. That's called ransom, on my dictionary, and it isn't usually considered a paradigm of honor...

You follow a madmen and a murderer, we just follow the legitimate ruler of our country. And your leader has already suffered a recent attempt on his life... which ours hasn't.

I've studied politics in the Navy, but I am not a politic. So I don't have to care about those things. My allies are the brothers and sisters that fly in the Imperial Navy and the 24th Imperial Crusade, the rest are neutral at best. And even if we may at present be working together with the Caldari State, it doesn't change the fact that they did start a war without casus belli and threatened a whole planet full of civilians in order to succeed in their goals. Which at best is bullying, at worst it's hostage taking and terrorism. And they should be held accountable for those things.

Heth's position isn't natural to the State and should not be permanent; we should all be careful not to let ourselves be tricked into rallying behind a tyrant just because he's able to toss us a few ideological victories and return the homeworld to our care (somewhat at least). Heth is here to serve a purpose, and once its served control should be turned back to the State and the people proper.

Mr. Sepherim,

The last thing we need to do is be throwing insults at each other, even if Vikarion was at fault for the instigation, our respective nations are still allies and the last thing we need is to be at each other throats. Now after that, the Amarr Empire is far from the most peace loving entity in the cluster and has (and continues) to be one of the most agressive nations in New Eden. I respect and honor Empress Jamyl as much as anyone, but lets not pretend that her rise hasn't come with its own baggage shall we? You and I both know the questionable circumstances of her return, the possible violation of ancient rights (cloning in an Heir) and her admirable, but still starkly anti-traditional direction she's taken the Empire.

Much like Heth, Jamyl is a product of a crisis.

Had the State not settled into an economic rut and internal dissent then Heth would have never came to power, his brand of power isn't typical of the State and brings with it dangerous possibilities, but the fact remains that he has managed to do much to secure that power and bring much needed vitality back to the State. Jamyl herself would have been outright rejected for breaking Amarrian law by the Heirs and people for violating the law by cloning herself had she not arrived in the nick of time to turn back the Elder Fleet. Our respective 'leaders' are not so different, and if I do recall, there was an attempt on her life in recent memory, which claimed the lives of thousands of Amarrian citizens and that of the Chamberlain when a station was destroyed...one that, Jamyl was supposed to be on too.

The point is not that we are aggressive, nor that I like the Minmatarr nor the Gallente. The point is that, before putting CONCORD to trial for its own numerous failings, we should put to trial those that caused those things to fail in the first place: first the Minmatarr leaders, then the Caldari leaders. It is because they took the actions they took, that we are all now involved in a massive war that has already been roaring for too many years.

I agree with this point, she comes with bagage as everyone else, and is a product of a crisis. But I don't think we're on the same line when it comes to the crisis we believe is the center of it. Jamyl's ascension isn't the result of the Republic's invasion, but the product of centuries of negating the development in technological and cultural levels that the Theology Council and the most orthodox of the Holder families have supported. We've been falling behind in those aspects and she was the answer of the changing times, forcing the Empire to update itself or suffer for it. Thus the circumstances of her return are only questionable from a traditional and blind vision of how things shall be in the Empire.

The Caldari-Gallente War never ended in a proper peace agreement, but a cease fire that ended with Caldari Prime being occupied by an enemy force, the Caldari people being driven from their home and the thus the setting of the stage for a deep seeded hatred between the Federation and the State. You mentioned earlier that there was no casus belli for the war and to a certain degree you may be right, but then I have to ask what was it when a Gallente carrier smashed into a Caldari station that ended in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians?

Whether you deem it so or not, a great deal of people saw the Caldari response as justifiable, and I can hardly imagine that any Amarrian would have suffered the insult if Amarr Prime had be conquered by the Minmatar and the Elder Fleet, only to have it put in their hands by a CONCORD driven 'peace' agreement.

The point I was trying to make was that Heth and Jamyl are both in regards to our respective nations almost unnatural. Jamyl killed herself, as per the law but was still able to seize the Empire by circumnavigating Amarrian law and riding to coronation on the shoulders of the star struck masses. Heth achieved power much the same way.

That is called terrorism, and implies actions are taken against the terrorists, which don't include war. The Empire's Bleak Lands were invaded before our war started by the Minmatarr who attacked our people and killed many... and yet, we didn't start a war. We fought the terrorists that threatened our border and population, but didn't retaliate in a full fledged war that would involve Minmatarr population.

I understand your reasons for going to war, which doesn't mean they are right. If the Caldari didn't want that peace, they shouldn't have signed the Yulai Accords when they had the chance. But by doing so, by entering CONCORD, they accepted the rules of the game. Don't take me wrong, I don't like CONCORD the smallest bit, but nations have to be consequent with their actions, and neither the Caldari nor, specially, the Minmatarr have.

I understand your point, and I agree with it to some extent. Which still doesn't justify starting a war. They may have several things in common, but their actions have been very different.

Correct, CONCORD and other groups including immortals will not exist in a static form forever. Audits, observations, and investigations are required to determine the type of seeds these fruits will produce and what benifits/consequenses they will have for the future.

You have raised two points; I will reply to them separately, sir.

To the second; We were evicted from our homes. If a fight to reclaim ones' homeland is not valid, what is?

To the first. You excuse your lack of tact by the fact that you are not a politic, but you are making political claims. This is a paradox of your own making. If you are political enough to form and state your opinion on a topic of import, you are political enough to defend that position when confronted with its ramifications.

Further sir, you should be ashamed. You are not a politic, you are a Capsuleer. Your body is shield and armour, your fists are molten metal. Your thoughts end lives and bend worlds. To hide behind the shield of improper training is no defense - it is a declaration of your failings. A Capsuleer must be as skilled with politics as they are with warfare, for there is nothing - and no-one - for them to call upon beyond their own words and deeds. Your declaration of "I'm no politic" is as flat a cry on my ears as a miner declaring "I'm no fighter" to the suicide ganker bearing down upon them.

You are a warrior.
You are a scientist.
You are an engineer.
You are a politician.
You are a Capsuleer.

In essence, what you're asking for is a 115 Year long data dump of every military, financial, corporate and personal transaction that has been made by the CONCORD Assembly since its formation, and an audit of quite literally millions of employees.

And that's BEFORE we start to discuss the breach of confidentiality that such a request would cause to trillions of people, and millions of buisnesses and corporations across the cluster.

I don't think you have any concept of how utterly rediculous and obsurd your request is.
