To arms!

Fellow Caldari, Citizen of the State!

The State is at war, and the Storm Wind is calling your name!
Can you hear the roar of guns, firing in batteries as one and filling the sight with clouds of smoke? Can you hear throttles of thousands of condors, flying in strict formations above you? Can you hear Caldari troops marching to the battle, shaking ground with synchronous pace? These are the soldiers, that will fight together the war for what is dear for all of us, hand to hand, shoulder to shoulder, as one... As Caldari.

Then what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the Storm Wind to rush to your home with enemy squads, crushing and smashing everything you have and worked for all your life? Are you planning to run away and hide in wormhole and null security space as all these cowards and traitors, whose names will be stained with disgrace for thousands of years? Do you value your precious life higher than reputation, honor, respect and lives of your kirjuun? Or do you want to live forever?!!

The State is at war, and Caldari do fight!

This is not the war, where one corporation fights another, this is not the war, where you want to get just more assets for your corporation or one CEO avenges another for pity insult. This isn't even war for ideals and doctrines, formations and blocs. Patriots, Liberals and Practicals don't fight here against each other, we all fight together as Caldari. We may have different ideals, different approaches, different methods and maybe different goals, but we are still all Caldari and we have two things in common: our past, and our future. And for this future, where Caldari will be allowed to live, we will fight.

We don't want to be assimilated, we want to have a CHOICE to decide for ourselves HOW we want to live. We want to work for ourselves, and not for federal beurocrates. We don't need their empty promises and ideals instead of food. We don't need their decadence and their lechery instead of our culture. We don't want our sons brainwashed into mindless democracy addicts, and we don't want our daughters to become exotic dancers! We don't need serpentis drugs in schools. We don't need our property and lands redistributed to luxurious gallentean magnates, because their majority would vote for it. We don't want to be ruled by grey unedicated mob, following its low animalistic desires!

We want to choose our future for us ourselves. We want to stay Caldari and not sink in waters of time like Mannars and many other nations who lost their identity, subjugated by Federation. And we will fight for our future. Even if we have to die, we will die in battle, with weapons in hands, not hiding under beds like those cowards, who were sitting in nullsec, while Caldari are fighting. Some of us will die, yes, but what we will do in life, will echo through the Universe. Fear of death is absurd, because the death is the only certain thing in each life. We cannot choose if we live or die, or when we die. But we can choose how we will meet our end: looking fearlessly into eyes of our enemy, or a coward's death by taking a bullet into your back.

Today we will let the Wind of the Storm to guide us, to gather us and direct us, all as one, as an unrelenting force, that will push away the rapacious enemy from our borders. But for this, all of us should throw away our insignificant disagreements and stay united for what does matter.

Stop finding already petty excuses for evading the War and your Duty of a Caldari and a Citizen!

Enlist yourself or your corporation today and follow the Storm!

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

In memory of Tibus Heth, Caldari State Executor YC110-115, Hero and Patriot.

A rousing call to arms for a cause as rotted as the corpse of the man who launched this war of Caldari aggression. The State built its strength on the mercenary motives of its worst profiteers and its basest charlatans. That, and the intervention of one defeated Nullsec powerbloc after another seeking to lick their wounds and thinking the Gallente to be easy prey.

Now, we see those same nullsec vultures abandoning the pitiful remnants of the State Protectorate, and joining our ranks with turned cloaks and a rack full of warp core stabilizers. Pathetic, really.

Caldari capsuleers are at war, but I've yet to see any Caldari navy vessels engaged in anything more then routine patrols. No war of the Empires here, CONCORD has everything under control. Move along.

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

I don't know whats worse, hearing this same tired sword rattling or the fact that the first person to respond to it appears a Federate doppelganger of Ms. Kim

I hope for the Gallentean's sake I'm wrong.

You clearly don't know me. Hell, ask just about any of the other Caldari who frequent the IGS.

I see gallenteans still can't respect neither other cultures, nor other heroes, just because they were fighting for their people, who were oppressed by gallenteans.
And neither gallenteans respect facts, forgetting that Caldari attacked them because of outrageous gallentean racism towards Caldari population on Caldari prime and unability (or lack of desire?) of Gallentean police force to protect Caldari peoples.

Either you don't understand me, or you're lying to save face.

Allow me to refresh your memory.

Quote:
I do not hate the Caldari. To hate is an irrational act that puts one on a path that ends in the destruction of one's self with far more certainty than the destruction of the object of one's hatred. So I do not fight to see the destruction of the Caldari State, or its People. I fight in defense of the Federation. I fight in the name of its Citizens who face the threat of annihilation with every waking day.

When the Caldari offer peace, when they recind their threat of devastation against Gallente homes, I will welcome that day. Until then, the State will pay the price for their tyranny in blood.

I think it's because you both have portraits in front of a national emblem, have similar poses of chin up, looking at something in the distance, and both of you have chosen a hairstyle that appears to accent your ears.

Propaganda often finds itself written the most in periods of desperation and abject failure.

I'm sure in some universe it may hold true that military objectives can be fulfilled simply by posting more in public, but I doubt that it is in the one we inhabit.

I thought that a Caldari like you would have known that ISK and not words is what gets capsuleers to fight for you.

I do have to admit, this post by Diana Kim is one of the most well written she's ever made. It's actually quite impressive of a speech. Granted, I refused to listen to it in her actual voice, but it's still an impressive speech for her.

I think Mindflood is illegal in the State.

I however can help you in regard to our... distribution channels. Drop me a mail, dear.

The Federation must be stopped! Down with the Federation and their potato-shaped ships! That's why the Federation must be destroyed!

Do tell if those villainous Gallente start hiring asteroids to do their heavy lifting so I can dispense some Procurer justice on them!

She must have hired a speechwriter.


As I have said before, this proxy war is meaningless. Capsuleers are only fighting over border worlds and even if they take them all, aren't allowed to push the front, and they aren't really assisting the navies since they aren't in a state of open hostilities. It's all just a game by CONCORD to keep capsuleers occupied.
