Intergalactic Summit

And what is this that you trying to prove., that the State is is beter than the Federation.

When I need to prove it, I unsheathe my gun.
You asked for sources, I pointed you.
Now you can either study and analyze, so we can continue conversation.
Or you can ignore it, and I won't waste my precious time on you anymore.

So, do you like Kaalakiota, Wiyrkomi, Sukuuvestaa, CBD, and Nugoeihuvi?

They all have stations in the Republic (and Empire and Federation) alongside Ishukone and I can only assume do "good business" in the Republic in accordance with its laws.

Why there should always be ideological background in war? Of course there are almost always ideological conflicts, but in civilized societies they can be ignored, it's a conflict of interests that can't be ignored cause wars. For example, almost no one in the State likes gallentes, but it doesn't a reason to come into their space to start killing them. The State took back what is rightfully belongs to the State, Caldari Prime. However, it is situated deep in Federation territory.

And, of course, you are fighting for allies. I don't know what minmatars think about being an ally, but for me being an ally implies fighting for allies as you fight for yourself and risking everything if needed including your life for them.

But if you think that you shouldn't help Gallente and don't accept their ideology and you prefer Caldari ideology instead, try to change your government position from inside, or join us and help us overthrown your government. However, this will make you a traitor and untrustworthy person, because you have been fighting against the State.

But of course, and it's a shame too.

In the Republic, what matters is your loyalty to your Tribe and kin.
In the State (from what I gather) what matters is your loyalty to your corporation and comrades.

In the Republic, you work hard to better the people.
In the State, you work hard to better the people.


How is this being overlooked?

Look, we all know that quite frankly, the Federation and the State would rather see each other wiped off the galaxy. We all know that the reason this conflict flashed again was a supposed act of Terrorism against the State, namely a former Admiral crashing a Supercarrier into an Ishukone station. And quite frankly, we Caldari have a right to take back Caldari Prime. But the State AND the Federation should realize that this war would be overly costly in the long run for BOTH parties, and that quite frankly, forcing your ideology on others is the WRONG WAY to make friends and advance your civilization.

As an Empyrian, I'm the last person people would expect to be calling for peace. After all, war is good for business. HOWEVER, in the interests of Survival and Profit, I believe it would be mutually beneficial for the State and the Federation to agree to a permanent truce, or at least a cease-fire. It is no secret that the Amarr Empire has grown too powerful in recent years, and is a definate threat to continued international security.

Yet, I do not believe this is possible whilst Tibus Heath is still in office, as he seems to be deadset on exterminating the Gallente. He would not simply drive them from their homes, but Heath's seems to be a murderous rage. For either the Federation OR State to advance, Tibus Heath MUST BE REMOVED FROM POWER.

Also, he's a cheap bastard who kills puppies.

I believe that, regardless of the truth of this specific incident, that Mrs. Strazinka is right. The time has come for the State to wake up. Injustices happen daily while many citizens sit idly by. It is vital that we as Caldari stand up and recognize what has happened while we have focused on our personal lives.

I agree that Tibus Heth has gone too far, that he rules the State without any true opposition, but that time has passed. As Mrs. Strazinka has mentioned, many of our own have died to preserve our freedom. However, more pressing, many have died here in the State protesting injustices. Immoral actions, albeit legal in the State, are being committed by many in the State under Hyasyoda Corporation's name. Whether it is to blame for these actions or not is impossible to truly determine. The self-policing of Hyasyoda Corporation prevents any legal action to determine the specific person or persons at fault.

Vigilans Aeternum promises to assist in the reform of the State. However, we swear that we will not stand by when crimes against humanity are committed by corporations such as Hyasyoda. While we are willing to work with Vapautusliike in order to restore the State, we are not willing to restore it without first cleansing it. To prop up a diseased nation would be to waste the time and effort necessary to prop it up. Better then for us to fix the problems before reconstructing the State.

Anyone interested in assisting Vigilans Aeternum with this goal is free to contact me. We will never give up in our goal to seek justice in the State, no matter the cost.

.

I'm encouraged to see more resistance against the dictator Heth from within the State.

I don't know about colonists being rounded up, but I will tell you one thing I've become intimately familiar with recently - TRUST.

For those who don't know, TRUST stands for TRansparency for Unity and STrength, and it's the CPD's latest initiative. Ostensibly it's a move to benefit investors, the work force and independent State institutions like the investment bank or the navy.

The two portions of the bill that are particularly worrying are this:

1 - pursuant to TRUST, Provists will have the authority to enter any megacorporate facility to perform immediate and detailed audits of of financial, military, research and personnel assets.

2 - TRUST also mandates that a minimum of 5% of the shares of ANY corporation registered with the State and Region Authority must be owned by an organisation which represents the non-management workforce. So, a union, political party, something like that.


The former is pretty much a straight up-and-down revocation of the right to corporate sovereignty which stands at the heart of the State Charter, not to mention the worrying implications of the fact that the Provists answer only to Tibus Heth, who his the CEO of Kaalakiota. Meaning that the CEO of KK has theoretical access to every mail, document and research folder in every lab or office of every other Megacorporation in the State, but they do not have the same access to KK. It's corporate espionage with a government stamp.

The second is a bit more subtle. Under the Founding Laws, it is the prerogative of any shareholder, be that shareholder an individual or a syndicate, to sell their shares privately to whomsoever the wish at any time, even if the corporation is not floated on the stock market and regardless of the wishes of other shareholders.

This has particular interest for my family - the Hakatain Dynasty Corporation is an independent small corp that handles our family affairs and makes money by leveraging capsuleer income power and resources into R&D to produce patents to help unaugmented humans. We hold, or have sold, patents in communications technology, medical nanotechnology, consumer electronics and power generation. I own 20% of the corporation, as does my sister and fellow capsuleer Sinikka. Our sister Meera holds 53%.The remaining 7% is in the hands of our employee union in accordance with TRUST.

At present, HDC enjoys corporate autonomy under article three of the State charter. Because of TRUST, If even ONE of our shares is sold to a third party, much of the independence we enjoy will evaporate in a puff of legal smoke.

This, obviously, puts disproportionate power into the hands of the union, who now basically hold the keys to the entire corporation - if they want to sell, they can and there's nothing we can do to stop them. The threat of selling therefore gives them a high-stakes bargaining chip in any negotiations with the management. Furthermore if, say, Kaalakiota bid high enough, there'd be no good reason for them NOT to sell. Meaning that all the Provists need to do in order to strip my family's business of much of its legal autonomy is wave a large enough sum at my union.

Oh, and if the union does sell? then we're required by TRUST to fork over another 5%. and another, and another, until we simply can't hold onto a majority any longer. KK can squeeze their opponents out of the ownership of the corporations they founded just by throwing money at the problem until it goes away.

Legislation at its most poisonous. TRUST is an unashamed power grab by Heth and the CPD, and the only people who've refused to acknowledge it so far have been Ishukone. Even Hyasyoda has capitulated to the bill, though they did oppose it in the CEP.

The State is not a dictatorship. Heth himself established the meritocracy that it ought to be, but now is busily setting about defining "merit" as being "anything which aligns with the CPD's agenda". This cannot stand - there needs to be a shift in the balance of power, and soon.

ADDENDUM: I should point out that the 5% rule doesn't apply to megacorporations, though I'm sure the CPD would have liked it to. Fortunately, the CEOs aren't quite under his thumb to that extent.
