Intergalactic Summit

We do.

I don't think there can be any doubt that Jacus Roden profits from the increased demand for Roden Shipyards warships.

Perhaps not but considering your opening statement I doubt that what your after is “peace”. [/quote]

Even the most peace-oriented Caldari loathe Roden. In fact, you can find quite a few Gallente capsuleers who aren't sure whether the Caldari or Roden are worse.

And, indeed, Roden might be worse. The CEP is not, by and large, interested in destroying the Federation as an entity. But Roden can change it from within, without a fight, into something that is unrecognizable.

It's not difficult to see a conflict of interests regarding Roden.

He's quite possibly one of the few men in the Federation who has the power to end the war, and he's also one of the few men in the Federation directly and so lucratively profiting from it.

I am continually amazed at the undeserved vitriol directed at our good President.

He has done nothing but strengthen our Federal Union from its internal and external foes.

Please enumerate for me his offences that lead you to your very conspiratorial conclusions regarding his intentions.

Perhaps however it’s simply that our friends in the State are unsettled by the thought of an effective Executive in the Federation capable of dealing in kind with State duplicity.

oh please. I'm neither glorifying the Federation nor vilifying the State - I'm simply calling you a moron whose sad attempt at overcompensating for his ethnicity in a show of patriotic zeal isn't fooling anybody with a working brain.

The State can survive on its own merits without idiots like you making an excess of nationalistic noise. We don't NEED another Diana Kim, the one we already have is doing enough damage to the credibility of our people.

Jacus Roden is a powerful person, and the head of state of a foreign power with whom we have an antagonistic relationship. Fine. That fact is not sufficient evidence to accuse him of being involved in Malkalen. There is NO evidence linking him with it, none. And your paranoid ravings just wind up making the State look like a haven for witless zealots who couldn't find a rational argument with three years and a guide.

I'm not defending Jacus Roden, I'm defending the State from cracked cases like you by trying to show that we're not all of us completely dense.

I'm not at all sure the State needs or wants defense from someone whose combat record consists entirely of attacking Caldari State officials.

Your words carry little weight, my traitorous friend.

There is no doubt Mister Roden benefits greatly from his position and from the war. It's traditional for politicians to milk the system for all its worth after all. As for his industry benefiting from his service to the nation, .. well, he is almost Caldari in that accomplishment. Whether those of us in the State should be concerned or smug about that is up in the air.

I can confirm that Hakaatain-haan flew in support of the Caldari State and the CEP in several large engagements earlier this year.

I'll never be able to forget Malkalen. Indelibly etched, you might say. I'm not going to bother explaining what my link to that activity is, since everyone who matters knows, and anyone who doesn't can work it out from my really available public information if they have half a brain. In case you haven't noticed, we already have a war over this, and those who care, remember. We don't need some nullsec reject using it for his own dreary little reasons.

You want to respect Malkalen? Arrange a ceremony to honor the dead or commemorate the day itself. Those of us who lived through it are pretty tired of having it trotted out every time some "born again" anti-Federalist/anti-Stateist/rabble rouser needs a convenient soap box.
