FLMPP will be opening a free breakfast for children program , in the Gallente zones.

As well as feeding children , it will serve as a space for educating youth about the current condition of the Caldari community in the Gallente zones, and the actions that the FLMPP was taking to address that condition.

While the children eat their meals, members of the FLMPP will teach them liberation lessons consisting of Party messages and Caldari history. Through this program, we hope to be able influence young minds, and strengthen our ties to communities as well as gain widespread support in the Gallente zones.

Anyone who would like to support the Free breakfast for children program can send food , medical supplies or isk to FLMPP corporation.

FLMPP will not abandon or forget about you our Caldari citizens in the Gallente zones.

You can expect a donation of over five hundred thousand pallets of dairy products to your program within the week. No Caldari children will be receiving dry cereal, bone fractures, or the rickets on my watch. If it spoils just make cream cheese or sourdough flapjacks out of it or something.

Ah, the classic bread-and-circus.

You'll find that young children today are far more interested in holo-cartoons, gyrating celebrities and Megasugar Wheaty-Bangs than Provist propaganda speeches accompanied by thin but worthy gruel rations.

Oh, and thank you for notifying the authorities that a self-confessed terrorist organisation is coming to visit. I'm sure a helpful welcome from Federal security will be rolled out.

Kador say's he'll match your five hundred thousand pallets of dairy products with five hundred thousand pallets of antibiotics. Apparently to prevent the kids from contracting the sniffles or something like Zemnar along with their rickets.... I genuinely think he was joking but....

See, the politics part of this is the part that's meant to trip you up. You're supposed to try and ban this - as if donating food and medical care to poor people is a bad thing because you don't approve of whatever music is playing in the background whilst it's handed out.

But in point of fact, Children will quite happily eat cereal - especially if they're hungry.

Uh Peiter, I think it's more the fact it comes off as trying to train little Provists that's the problem, not the aid.

I do find some humour in the idea of you teaching these children, who already live in the Gallente controlled zones, what conditions in the Gallente zones are like. Would it be more accurate to say you are going to teach them what you want them to believe conditions in the Gallente zones are like?

Now if this program was in place to teach the kids about Caldari culture and traditions I would be all for it, but this just smacks of Provist indoctrination. Gotta plant the seeds of nationalism while they're young, eh?

All this will accomplish is creating a generation of Caldari children isolated from their Gallente peers and primed to swallow the Provist party line. God forbid they be allowed to come to their own conclusions.

Well-- actually, the idea that most people aren't really qualified to come to their own political conclusions is kind of well-established in Caldari society. Making significant political decisions is what the Executive and Chief Executive castes are for.

"The people" don't make their own decisions very well. That's why you have a meritocratic elite make them.

The awkward bit for TomHorn is that the Provists have become a case in point: "the people" insisted on having their way, and the man they lifted to (brief) primacy was Tibus Heth.

Subsequent history suggests to most Caldari that this was a bad call. Maybe a necessary one, but ... Heth's regime had lost most of its popular support by the time it fell.

Megasugar Wheaty-Bangs? That sounds like diabetes in a box!

I have contributed a supply of Genetically Enhanced Livestock to this program. Children learning to become Provists need a food that makes them strong and intelligent. A food like Genetically Enhanced Livestock.

... um. Mr. Nauplius? You do realize that the Provists, as a slightly more sympathetic incarnation of the Templis Dragonaurs, are anti-foreign influence generally?

That includes yours.

Admittedly, they might be kind of desperate for allies right now, but they're not historically the sorts to feel like they need any, so....

A noble endeavor indeed.

I have it on fairly good authority however that gaining 'approval' for such charitable ventures will be fairly rigorous.

I know a few people in the areas administered by Federal authorities, I would be happy to put in a... good word for you if you like.

I doubt there would be any intention of banning such an endeavour. It's more likely one of the more enterprising reality shows will do one of their 'poverty' specials.

However, it is highly unlikely the 'Provist Mujahideen' are seeking access for purely humanitarian purposes, even if one makes the concession that such relief is required, which it's not. Federal Security will be taking an interest in whatever this group is really up to.

Madamoiselle Liberty does not mandate how one abuses one's insulin. It may be a sad truth that the Provist gruel is actually better for the long term liver function of the young bairns, but they mostly choose the free toys and sugary confections.

Luckily, Federation cosmetic medical procedures are so advanced, this is not a problem for most. And there is hard, physical work available on farms and construction sites for those unable to afford a good surgeon.

Right. Freedom and Liberty. We are always free to obliterate our livers and clog our arteries even if those are really bad ideas.

However, why would anyone name their product the 'Megasugar Wheaty-Bangs'? Any parent who sees that box will be thinking, 'Diabetes-in-a-box'! Isn't there a more subtle name that can be used?

It's not a real brand, so far as I am aware. Just a common catch-all term to signify the types of products at the extreme end of the sugary lingering death end of the consumer spectrum.

However, as a general rule, subtlety is a fairly rare trait in marketing circles, especially for things that aren't good for one.
