Intergalactic Summit

A vile race of "Stitchers" to use a new word which will carry the scorn of mankind down the centuries-is hired to fawn upon the Federation, to collaborate in his designs and to enforce his rule upon their fellow countrymen while groveling low themselves. Such is the plight of once glorious Caldari State and such are the atrocities against which we are in arms.

I demand satisfaction Stitcher. I slap my gloves accross your face. Duel later today in Haatomo 100km above the station. Be a man Stitcher for once , instead of the coward i know you to be.

Bad mother****ing call.

... he flies a Dominix?

Well. The Federation appreciates your custom, please come again.

And Diana Kim plays the "feign ignorance" card for the twenty-seventh time this week!

(It's not very effective...)

Heth is a horrible creature that is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Gallenteans. While the Federation should take no direct involvement regarding the little siege in Haatomo, we should be ready and willing to intervene should the situation arise. Of course, intervention doesn't necessarily mean sending our indomitable Navy in for support, I think the CEP has plenty of manpower and support to handle this successfully.

No matter what happens, Heth and the Provist will keep blaming us. He believes that the CEP are our puppets and that the Federation is a giant evil monster trying to engulf all of New Eden, both of which are completely ridiculous beliefs.

He rose to power violently, he maintained that power violently, and he will lose that power violently. What makes anyone here believe that he's just going to come out of this holding a white flag in place of a rifle? But I digress.

People will always cooperate with each other if both parties have a common enemy. Heth is both the State's and the Federation's common enemy. Involving ourselves in this in anyway, even if it just means being the CEPs Yes Man can finally bring back some of the common ground we were working on 5 years ago that Heth tainted. Again, no need for military intervention. Political backing will be more than enough.

Some form of peace between the Federation and the State can be salvaged from this, staying silent will only keep the fires burning.

As for Mr. TomHorn, I find it quite amusing that you prefer one of the oldest, most outdated and clunky ships in the Gallente arsenal over your own nation's latest technological marvels, which I do recall you claiming to be superior at one point in time.

By "direct intervention" are you referring to military support?

There are lot of ways we can intervene, not all of them require gun toting.

Like it got said before, just stay within our own borders unless the CEP asks for help. I doubt they'll need much given the sheer amount of resources they pulled together THAT quickly. But in the off chance they need help, we await explicit permission and follow any order within their border to the letter. At least I plan on doing that, seems a good bet.

Aside from that, let the Caldari be Caldari in how they handle this while we sit patiently and await a call if it comes. This is a good chance to mend burned bridges and we in the Fed should be very very careful and precise in how we deal with things during this.

I think Mr Ixiris was on the point with his initial appeal to his countrymen not to intervene with this clearly internal Caldari affair.
And I thank him for his foresight on this matter.

While so many forget too fast, Tibus Heth still has support. Any intervention, no matter what form, by the Gallenteans, would just feed these sentiments.

I think the young and easily impressionable in their mood swings forget too often that the man they condemn today has given us something back, that we believed lost. And I'm not talking about Caldari Prime. I'm talking about the meritocratic traditions that made our society great. Caldari Prime was just the beacon.

And wouldn't any Gallentean fight as hard to free his own home world, should it fall into enemy hands?
Even if our very ideals are not compatible for true unity, they don't separate us enough on that basic level of understanding, I think.

All that said: For all our sakes I would very much prefer to prevent a full scale war. And Tibus seems to have shed the mantle of the "New meritocracy". Which was the one thing that made him great in my eyes... And the moment of pride he gave us, to realize what we have become. I don't harbour any special hate for the Gallente. Though I don't presume to understand your culture, I do have Gallentean friends.

I'd advise all to not underestimate Tibus Heth, nor the support he could be able to muster.
In the very sense of these words: Stay away from that conflict, Gallenteans. Watch your borders, if you need to. But let the Caldari deal with their own.

*END OF TRANSMISSION*

• We are not your enemies.
• Caldari Prime / Luminaire VII is no more in our hands than it is in yours.
• The peoples of Caldari Prime / Luminaire VII ARE free.

The only ones in desperate need of freedom are the Provists themselves. Freedom from rancor, freedom from belligerence, freedom from hatred. Freedom from the dead-end and obsolete mindset they are trapped in.

I am a sovereign capsuleer - we all are - who can cross any border of whom we have not crossed.


I have high standings with both the Federation and Caldari Navies.


While I hope never to see Heth end up a POW in the hands of Mentas Blaque - for Blaque would use the situation as yet more opportunity to set precedents that further destroy civil liberties (these two are snakes), if there is an opportunity to take out that terrorist Heth and his collectivist (racism is collectivism) provists, I will not let nationalism, mine or someone elses, get in the way of that.


Heth is fair game.

Now if CEP knew what they were doing they would put a bounty on Heth and this problem would be solved in a very short time. Nothing beats motivation into a capsuleer like the stick that holds the carrot.

And we'll see where loyalty really lies.
