Alright, and this answer will try to be soberly applied to your question.

You've been to Ani, obviously. This place has some sort of emotional connection for some who have responded to this topic of gross confusion. Among the sights there are old places formerly occupied by that other lot. This is a place where they will not, today, be wecolmed back by the public by virtue of the fact that their ancestors lived under the jack-boot. And died. Horribly.

Is this a reasonable stance? Is it?

However, Ani is not the whole of the moon.

Ortner, Fittakan, Sveipar is that way, over there. Examples . They'd be happier there, woudn't they? Watch your backs though!

Question:
You are Displeased by the Existence of Stations in Ani Constellation (And Elsewhere), belonging to the Amarr corporation Joint Harvesting (and others).

Is that Correct ?


If those stations were Removed or Transferred, would you also wish to see the Stations in Amarr space belonging to the Republic Security Service, Core Complexion Inc., Freedom Extension, or other Republic Corporations, similarly Removed or Transferred ?

If Not, Why Not ?

Assuming you meant your question to be open to all, I'd love to answer.

Speaking for myself, moving Minmatar assets and interests into Minmatar space would suit me just fine. I suppose people with business interests in Amarr or Caldari space wouldn't like it, but some things are worth a sacrifice. Ridding Ani of the slave trade is easily worth it.

By the way, I am one who has seen the slave trade in Ani happen under the very noses of the Republican patrol craft. It did not fill me with pride. I have seen the rescued slaves.

I can fully understand and even respect your viewpoint and I am saddened to hear of either the impotence or the insouciance of your Republic patrols to stop slavery within its borders. I would ask, however, if there is a particular reason you would remove Republic business assets and operations from Caldari space?

It is a mutually beneficial arrangement from a business perspective. The Caldari State may be in cooperation with your enemy, but even enemies maintain an open trade agreement sometimes. Cooperative business between the Caldari State and the Minmatar Republic could benefit both peoples extensively as well as lead to further cooperation in other areas.

It is something to consider, at least.

I included the Caldari reference because if I didn't, someone surely would have accused me of inconsistency. They would have been right.

Mutually beneficial business arrangements are more palatable to those not actively involved in the fighting. So I am not as concerned as some others.

As for the insouciance of the Republic, I would wager that those mutually beneficial arrangements are at the heart of it. Wars make billionaires out of those who are weak enough to betray their consciences for the sake of ISK. Moving our resources would make them have to work harder to make their fortunes. That is also fine with me. Perhaps it would, in the long run, stimulate Minmatar business into serving whatever needs are currently being sated by the Amarrian billionaires sitting in their stations in Barkrik, etc. It would certainly please me to see Minmatar businesses profit at the expense of lost Amarrian markets.

If we're starved for foreign business opportunities, perhaps the Gallente would appreciate increased markets for goods in both directions.

You make valid points and I can see your line of reasoning. As much as it would sadden me personally to see a retraction in this manner, I would see it as an opportunity to try and forge new partnerships.

Should any Minmatar corporation on foreign soil act illegally and immorally on such a scale. When in fact they should be on their best behaviour in their ambassadorial role. Then your leaders would be within their rights to penalise, confiscate, or banish.

For transporting and using slaves in Barkrik and Hjoramold the Amarrian corporation Joint Harvesting ought to be banished and their assets confiscated. The failure of our leadership to act on this matter means that capsuleers have had to intervene as best they can.

After this disgraceful behaviour by an Amarrian corporation it is only natural that many would be distrusting of Amarrian assets in their space. Any rift in business and diplomatic relations is due to JH's despicable actions in Matari territory.

I've remained silent on the issue so far, but I will say this:

Should we decide that the genocide of the Nefantar is the correct and right course of action, we will become no better than the Amarrians who attempted their own genocide of the Starkmanir. The removal of a people from the cluster is a monstrous act, and do perform such an act on those who were once our kin is almost beyond thought.

While I understand and appreciate the hatred my brothers and sisters in Murientor Tribe feel towards the Amarr, I would urge that mindless is hate is simply that.

Mindless.

No Murientor has advocated genocide. That is clever propaganda foisted upon the readers of this discussion. We can dance around that again, but no need to as it's been discussed and dismissed

Now this is Jive Talkin' Music to the ears.

The destruction of those things is out of even a determined capsuleer's hands -so far -but you can help liberate the 'cargos' of the bestowers that form the trfaffic to and fro. There is risk involved, obviously. Work in (at least) pairs, and ensure that your life support systems are upgraded. Know that the range of station guns has increased in recent months.

Watch out for Republic customs when the only option is to take the liberated out-of-system. (Yes, really)

Don't forget though, that this trafficking occurs almost everywhere one turns the head.

Gedugaud, as one example, far away from Ani. Slaves on the plantations in Hjoramold are no more, no less as deserving as those in remote locations such as these.

And there are plenty of them.

And this ladies and gentlemen is true face of the Minmatar nationalist.

They don't care about "their" people, but they do care about destroying Amarrian property.

So now you don't want to 'get rid' of the Nefantar and their legacy, you only wish for them to go to another part of the republic.
Careful there kiddo, if you backpedal much faster you might end up running into a bulkhead.

It should be noted, that contrary to your apparent belief, the Nefantar people spent over 125 years after the Day of Darkness, standing side by side with the other six clans on Pator, defending against constant slave raids by the Amarrians, and losing millions of their own people to such raids, The treachery came after their return to the Ani constellation, and the Hjoramold system in particular, and more importantly, after the attempted genocide upon Starkman prime.

It was this 'treachery' that had been designed by the elders, the elders of the Kurusal, Brutor, Sebiestor, Veherikor, Thukker and Nefantar clans, (at this time, the Starkmanir elders were believed to be dead.) to ensure the survival of the remaining Starkmanir.

This treachery had to be believeable. by all, including their former enemies, the Amarrian empire. It had to be believeable enough to hide the fact that so many of the slaves they had taken were of a lineage that the Amarrian leadership at the time had decided to kill, as a message to all the Matari people. You cannot deny that it worked.

Ssakaa, you do not have the monopoly on hurt, I was there for my mother's final hours, She died from Vitoxin poisoning. Her daughters, MY SISTERS died due to the breeder pits, Temuli was only 18 when she died birthing the bastard child of an amarrian holder. She was 15 when they took her to the pits. Hoelun was 22 when they discarded her as useless, and for the last 4 years of her life she would wake screaming and panic whenever any man came too close.

My father was killed when he tried to stop them taking his 15 and 17 year old daughters to be used as whores and i was almost killed along with him.

If, after all that, I can see how our elder's plan worked and you cannot, you are more blinded by useless rage than is healthy for anyone. Control your hatred, channel your anger or in the end, they will control you.

But what do I know. I'm just an old man. I have seen hatred, love and everything between. I have felt the greatest of joy, and the deepest of hurt, walked the edge of madness more than once and yet, with the spirits as my guide, i see a chance for our people. That chance will not be born out of hate, but from justice.

Do not confuse one for the other, down that route lies only destruction and war unending.

Disengenuous. I like it. But, a bit convoluted, even for you.

For this next part, we, you and I, will have to fly the white flag of surrender from our respective trenches, because clearly this is upsetting and galling and much more. No argument.

Was just reading a poem to my eldest. It's not brilliant poetry but she's starting to appreciate the sentiments, just like I am able to. The accompanying illustration is of an elephant. In your room, by the way.

Regardless, here are its contents and I offer its translation. Just for you.

"Yesterday.

Today.

Tomorrow.

Morning.

Noon.

Night.

Summer, autumn, winter, spring.

All this is Matar.

It never stops.

It never ends.

Ever, forever, thundery weather".


Nice flourish there, at the end. We like it.

I am unsure of where your sources on this lay, but the Ammatar betrayed the other tribes on the DOD in negotiation with the Amarr for their well-being. It might not have been a tribe wide practice, but a people are judged on the acts of their leaders. It was simply cemented when they moved to Hjoramold 125 years later, and the invasion began. And that WAS a tribe wide (with the exception of wayfarers) action.

467 years later (after they moved to Hjoramold, and left their 'brothers' behind to be enslaved and slaughtered), when Arkon Ardishapur's son ordered Starkman Prime be bombed, they decided (The other tribes had no real 'elders' or leaders for them to confer with, but perhaps genocide was one betrayal they were not prepared to make) to make the Starkmanir their slaves instead of watching them die. How kind of them?

History notes that after for the next 269 years (after the destruction of Starman Prime) increasing unrest was spread by the purposeful deportation the the disruptive individuals. Did this help, did it hinder? I am unsure, but I do know that the first rule in containing prisoners is to not allow them to gather and organize.

If their deception was an organized plot (as far fetched as THAT sounds), why did they run from the rebels as they left Ani? Why did the other tribes feel so inclined to chase if it was just an elaborate ruse? Why did the Nefantar not simply join? Because they had entirely defected to the Amarr, that is why.


The best you could say about the Nefantar now? They are self-seeking cowards not worthy of being recognized as Minmatar. The worst? They were accomplice to the destruction of the Starkmanir, the enslavement of our race, and are enemies of both the Republic, and the Ammatar. Either way, I see little room for forgiveness. With time, and the shedding of THEIR blood in freeing of the REST of our brethern, that can change. But welcoming with open arms is not an option at this point.

I find the belief that the Nefantar were helping this entire time laughable. Take your revisionist history elsewhere.

Until now.

Some of us fully intend to continue to expose lies wherever they may be found, inasmuch that they attempt to cripple our future even as they attempt to deceive us as to our past, as it actually happened.

Someone, and a plague upon all their houses, wants you to believe otherwise. Perhaps the the n*f*n*a* are already inside the gates, as long guessed at, plotting and scheming and whispering sweet nothings in your ear.

And you of the Republic let them in, with open arms?

Ssakaa, firstly, you claim 'victory' in this when only two hours had passed since your fellow murentior had posted. Surely you must understand that some of us have other things to do rather than watch IGS with an almost religious zeal.

Secondly, it will take a short time to correctly word a response to your fellow tribe member, who, while also blinded by hatred like yourself, at least has the ability to speak in a well reasoned and understandable manner.

crow all you like about how the nefantar have personally hurt you. We both know that they could not call themselves that until a little over 3 and a half years ago when the elders brought them to the sanctuaries. to even mention their old tribal name would have invited Amarrian inquisition and risked the lives of the Starkmanir.

You still don't get it do you. Your own tribal elders have stated that it was their plan. the six remaining clan elders called out to their Nefantar kin and called them home, along with the Starkmanir. You are calling the elder of the Kurusal a liar.

Does it make you feel proud?

Ezra, please grant me some time to read again your words and explain how i personally see our histories. if you so wish we can speak privately regarding this. I will respond on here if i don't hear back from you soon.
