Intergalactic Summit

Greetings to you, citizens of the Federation!

I speak to you, people of Intaki, Jin-Mei, Mannar, Minmatar, Gallente, to all who as a citizen of the Federation follows its rules and laws — and at the same time shares responsibility for all its unlawful deeds and crimes, from the past and till nowadays.

I am a Caldari State Patriot, the one your government claims to be your enemy and teaches to loathe and hate, thus trying to hide from you its own mistakes and weaknesses and to shirk responsibility. We are called radicals for our willpower and straightness, terrorists for securing our people, traitors and troublemakers for our strive for freedom and justice. They claim our messages are being delivered with our missiles and charges. I speak to you openly and honestly to disprove that. I address to all of you with a single hope that you REALLY understand what do you strive, live and fight for.

You say you value freedom, liberty and justice — but we value that as well. 200 years ago your government started a war that continues until now. For all this years your authorities conceal a lot from you, misrepresent the history of our nations. You along with your hopes and fears are being manipulated — just to let them avoid the responsibility for their part in this bloody events. At the same time your self-confidence along with trust in your rulers makes you unwitting accomplices or even their partners in war crimes and mass murders.

They criticize our way of life, our traditions, culture, society — and you're echoing them. But I want to ask: did any of you ever try to learn and understand the Caldari people? Did any of you ever try to analyze impartially the very roots of our conflict? I doubt. Most of you just say and do what your «authorities» tell you, barely thinking of what there is truth and what is lie.

You believe, or you think you believe, that our people had to follow the rules made by your political leaders without any hesitations. You think you bring freedom and rightness to the whole New Eden. But with your deeds you just take from us all that, you take from us our RIGHT FOR OUR OWN FREEDOM. But you never care. You're convinced you're right and the whole damned Universe should live according to your own principles. This is called imposing and contradicts all your beliefs, or I'm wrong? You value freedom and liberty and tend toward them, but you usually forget that freedom brings some duty and responsibility as well. The more freedom you have the more duties you have as well and the more responsible for what you do. It's not about legal, political, economical or cultural concepts but about Morality and Ethics. Absolute freedom I've heard about a lot from some of you leads to absolute responsibility and needs absolute morality, thus it is unattainable for all of us.

Some of you state that it was «tyrannical corporative Caldari government» (which means Chief Executive Panel, I suppose?) who started the war against Federation and just gave enough reason with a terrorists attack at Nouvelle Rouvenor. Should I remind you, that a blockade of Caldari Prime had been established a few month before by the Federation President and Senate order, which led to violent clashes between local Caldari and Gallente people? And that your government hadn't brought any evidence of CEP being involved up to now? Or should I remind what was the Federation answer: orbital bombardments and full-scale ground invasion, resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties only at the first day of that «Operation Heaven's Justice»? Or about your Navy, executing order to strike even at their own surrounded ground forces, exterminating everyone just to kill as much Caldari as possible? And once more should I remind you that all that decisions were taken and orders given by the new ultra-nationalistic government and authoritarian president Luc Duvailer, who not only arranged the massacre, but also had brutally repressed all citizens of your beloved Federation who dared to oppose that violence and bloodshed?

Today you call such things genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity, but 200 years ago your government and your people commited all of that against us and then chose just to forget it...

You have re-elected your new old President, who will act the same way as he and all his predecessors did. You have an opportunity to change the whole history, demanding the truth that both our nations deserve and have the right for. Your government's bloody secrets are able to destroy anything you value if still kept in the shadows. Are you ready to be a mass murderers and war criminals partners in crime? Do you really think that your president and your government care for you? Don't you learn to think independently? Or you keep all your great principles and ideas of freedom, equality and justice just for personal use?

I am a Patriot. The good of the State and my people means everything to me and comes before my own needs. I'm not a radical one, but will defend my Homeland from any threat without hesitations. I don't want to fight at war, but I will fight for justice, freedom and truth. Like all Caldari people I'm
forthright and honest, thus may be very unpleasant for you. But I could be a true friend, as well as an implacable, harsh and even fierce enemy. I speak for myself as I have no right and authority to speak for the whole Caldari nation, but I hope they all will agree with me.

Think about that, citizens of the Federation! Think about your past and present, about the future it all could lead! Your real enemies are within your ranks. Now you choose your fate, not me, neither your government, nor the State – you do it yourselves. Don't make a mistake for the payback would be beyond your strength. There is no escape – everyone will pay for the violence of their ancestors and their own.

Haajakin kalen!

couldn't be, he's not proclaiming the federation must be destroyed outright...

Ms. Vess. I care for my own State and people, not others. Federation should be brought into justice, and it will happen sooner or later. But that doesn't mean it should be destroyed.

I don't like the very idea of a total war, but you must understand that Gallenteans' arrogance make that very possible to happen. And it will cost too much to all our nations.

You preach of freedom and wrong doings by the Federation, and our ignorance, or stupidity regarding these events. Most of us know, I am sometimes ashamed by the actions our Federation carries out.

What would you have some of us do? Defect to a State full of racism, which has shown on multiple occasions that it cannot see beyond someone's race, and will not abide foreigners, for the most part who have even helped them. I do not hold ill feelings towards the State. The only thing I hold against the State is their blindness of their own faults.

I am disappointed in the Federation's decision to keep Jacus Roden in power, more so than most, I see the lack of change an ill omen. I only apologize for our keeping a criminal in power. Although, within our Federation, I still have the option to follow morality and ethics, which I do on a day to day basis. Separate, or with others in our Federation, I choose for the better of those around me. Your only purpose seems that of - serve The State, which you most likely do, but fail to see a bigger picture than The State, I do not blame you, because that is your function.

At this point both sides are guilty. Be careful when you makes cries for justice.

Came expecting a reasoned and reasonable exposition on ways for Federal and State citizens to understand each other and get along better. Left disappointed after realizing it was just more moralizing, Gallente bashing and finger pointing on the part of yet another xenophobic Caldari.

Seems like simply a slightly more literate and much more long winded version of Kim-baka if you ask me.

This thread does highlight an issue that rarely gets spoken about. Namely that Kim's stance on the Federation isn't an outlier, but has many in the Caldari Militia sharing this view (albeit not as extreme as Kim) In this regard, it isn't wise to simply disregard Kim's viewpoint as that of a lone extremist, but rather as the loud & extreme mouthpiece of a Provist Caldari Militia viewpoint.

This is due to the result of them being molded & guided under Heth's rule, growing up & running their lives under his anti-Federation propaganda. In short, these extreme patriottic/provist capsuleers can be called his heritage.

And it is here that Capseleer Pilots of New Eden must step forward

We are the Hope of this war torn galaxy where first we fought each other for the whims of the foolish empires we can now together choose a new path

A world of Unity of the respect of a local people righto to rule themselves but also one of the responsibility that kind of power brings. A world where the bonds that tie us together as Humans mortal and immortal and regarded as sacred. The Capseleers have through the forge that is war come to understand this.

Down with the corruptions of the existing power struggle and lets forge a new world with the wisdom brought only by the immortality of its citizen and their continued voyage across the stars...

Of course many in the Caldari Militia would have the same views...they're in the same outfit. That would be expected. It would not surprise me if I was to learn that the ones who do not share those views end up 'washing out'. Wouldn't anyone in charge want subordinates to share the same level of patriotism and ideology?

You left out the major conflict taking place on Caldari Prime in the lead up to Operation Highlander. You left out the oppression and atrocities committed by Provist occupation forces against Heth's enemies Caldari and Gallente alike. You also left out the resistance made up of both Caldari and Gallente fighting against Provist rule.

Do try to keep up. The future is leaving your ancient history in the dust.
