Intergalactic Summit

In https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=411289 the infamous gallentean reporter claims ridiculous lie about Caldari, that we supposedly "started the Militia Wars":

To not let any feeble minded to fall under dependence of lying gallentean propaganda machine, I would like to remind to you bare facts, that happened and lead to invasion into Federal space in order to liberate Caldari Prime from gallente occupant's greedy hands.

1. Gallentean racism stoke Caldari Prime right before the war has started, that was violence by gallentean occupants towards Caldari people
2. As Caldari citizens were protesting against gallentean racism, they were beaten by gallentean police, and that was violence by the occupant regime itself.
3. Actual reason to start Militia War (and not war to liberate Caldari Prime) was a gallentean attempt to contest just our Black Rise, which colonization we had announced.
4. Some might claim that it was our hero Tibus Heth who actually have started exactly military action first, but again, the first military action was committed a bit earlier by a federal ship FNS Wandering Saint. The Federal propaganda would deny it was their sanctioned operation, but what we know is:
4a. It was Federal Navy ship;
4b. It was piloted by Federal Navy Admiral;
4c. It was sent to Caldari Space by Federal president.

As you can see, all hostile actions were conducted by gallenteans first, but they are always lying about it, claiming that "we have started it".
Please be vigilant, always refer to facts, don't let gallente propagandists to fool you,

and never trust a gallente.

I'm betting on some variation on the theme of "Gallentean Sabotage".

Who started a war between people who hate each other for reasons neither can remember.

Diana I have a question for you. Who started your war?

You seem to have been born loathing the Gallente?

I believe it's called Militia.

That certainly contradicts Noir acting alone. One man perpetrating a horrific attack of opportunity can be explained as "Lone Wolf" madness, without further "arrangements." I'll admit, however, that the idea that all of Alexander Noir's long and tireless advocacy for peace was all some kind of charade has always turned my stomach.

When it comes to conspiracy theory, though, there never seems to be any satisfaction. Nevertheless, my thinking always moves in the direction of "who benefitted?" Clearly, the most immediate beneficiary of that disaster was Tibus Heth.

Pretty unsatisfying, isn't it? That's the trouble with conspiracies theories, one always has to take them further and further in search of that answer that fits.

All I know is that asking questions is the only honest part of this. Everyone selling answers is only serving themselves.

Because for some traitors in Ishukone it was profitable for their CEO to die. After this incident Ishukone corporation has visibly started to distance itself from the rest of the State.

And if you are looking for whom would get the most after Gairushi's death, take a closer look at... the new Ishukone CEO, let the Winds blow away his name from annals of history. Mr. Reppola has betrayed everything that was dear to any Caldari heart, everything our greatest hero Tibus Heth was striving to achieve. He sold his soul and honor to gallente for a piece of power.

Funny fact, I have got a different basic education from most of Caldari children, I have been grown up in the monastery and it was way more liberal to question about bloodlines that regular Caldari education system. And when I has joined the War Academy my ideals were not to "kill all gallenteans", as gallente propagandists love to lie about me, but to do actually something to make parents to always return to their children. Well, I was a kid back then with weird too idealistic dreams... you are becoming a soldier in the State at rather young age, and I was allowed to kill people way before I was allowed to drink alcohol. Yet even when I killed my first target I wasn't even thinking about gallenteans.

What made me loathe Gallente isn't the State, isn't my education, my friends, my parents, my corporation, my squadmates, my instructors and commanders. It were gallente themselves. I don't look at gallente words, but I look at gallente actions. I see and feel what you are doing, instead of buying what you are saying.

That naive soldier whom I was, has died seven years ago, and Diana Kim was born. Different name, different abilities and different destiny... When Tibus Heth came to power, I had already learned about true face of gallenteans, and their attack on Malkalen, their racial attacks on Caldari Prime didn't surprise me, but rather firmed down my impression I had earned by my own experience.

Diana Kim as a capsuleer indeed was born loathing the Gallente. But answering to your question, who started my war, I will answer just as I have answered the question who started militia wars. Gallente.

This is true. For my part I totally agree that the other extreme scenario (Gallente plot to make themselves thoroughly reviled as murdering liars) is also unsatisfying. As a cop, I was trained to let the facts speak for themselves.

1. Noir was a Federation Admiral who smashed his ship into Ishukone's HQ during a peace summit.
2. He gave a longwinded speech attacking the State as his justification.
3. He clearly didn't work alone.
4. Nobody has ever proved anything more than the above.
