Intergalactic Summit

The State was founded so that Caldari could be Caldari. Too many worthy men and women gave their lives so that we, as a people, would be free to forge our own path in this cluster, without the oppression of the Gallente. Things have now come full circle, where Caldari oppress themselves. Heth and his Provists are making a mockery of all that our ancestors fought for--what they died for. The Megacorps that fancy themselves the leaders of the State have proven to be no better than the Gallente Senate. The rot has spread too far. It is time for the State as we know it to fall. Megacorp CEOs should be put up against the wall and shot, their assets distributed to the Caldari people that they have exploited. Heth and his henchmen in the CPD should be hanged, their bodies burned and ashes shot into a black hole so that nothing of them survives.

There is a refuge where the Caldari culture has been allowed to flourish. The Guristas, labeled as pirates and slandered at every opportunity by the tyrants in the State, are a beacon to every freedom loving Caldari. Their prisons are among the best, most efficient, effective and human in the Cluster. They take great care to protect their people from marauding bands of State Warships. The future of Caldari culture rests with the Guristas.

I will be going to Venal, to offer my assistance and allegiance to the Guristas. The hope for the Caldari people rests not with the CPD, CEP, or eight Megas, but a group of people that are labeled pirates. I will find a spot for anyone that wishes to join me. To those that are referred to as baseliners, do not think that you cannot contribute. Crews will be needed, support staff as well. Anyone can make a difference and bring forth a better future for our people.

Have fun with that, meanwhile the true Caldari will try to solve the States problems from within its borders, without running to thieves and murderers for some sort of twisted form of freedom. Tibus came to power through the will of the people, he can fall the same way should the Caldari demand it.

Also, how dare you pervert the name of one of our most heroic national figures, you disgust me.

The Admiral was my several greats grandfather's cousin. I think he would approve of my actions, after seeing what has happened to the State-an enterprise he gave his life for.

Admiral Yakiya Tovil-Toba gave his life in the defence of a State that had walked into a war it had no plan or means to fight. A war that cost it Home as well as millions of it's civilians.

He was unsupported and yet he fought to the death for the State and the people of the State.

I don't see him running away to join Pirates because the going gets tough.

The future of Caldari culture rests with the Guristas? Oh, the mirth.

That said, I can only cheer on a capsuleer who has decided to leave the stifling cradle of hi-sec space early. Good luck!

Yes, because it's extremely Caldari to turn tail and run from our problems rather than face them. It's extremely Caldari to petition public opinion rather than executive decisive action. It's extremely Caldari to abandon one's community, one's people and one's leaders rather than stand resolute against the struggle.

In case you haven't noticed lass, I'm being sarcastic.

The Caldari thing to do is to stand and fight against what the State has and is becoming if you disagree with its direction. To be the heart and soul of the Caldari people when we need it and to demonstrate your resolve by remaining unyielding and uncompromising in the midst of adversity.

What you are suggesting is turning to a group of pirates whose concern isn't for the Caldari people but for their own personal way of life and liberties. (Which are cover words for pillaging, marauding, profiteering and oppressing those weaker than themselves.) You've abandoned the Caldari people and fled from the opposition. Should we meet one another in space, I'll extend to you the same courtesy I extend to all other brigands and pirates - a swift destruction.

You're no relation to a Tovil-Toba, either by blood or spirit. There are no records I can find linking you to the Tovil-Toba family. So, basically, you're trading on the name of a national hero to try to advocate for piracy. Well, that, or you are trying to be a Special Space Princess. Probably both.

Tovil-Toba fought for the Megas. Tovil-Toba fought for the Caldari people. Many of us disagree with Heth, no Caldari citizen fights against the Megas. The Megacorporations are who we are. Stating that they should be destroyed is arguing for the destruction of the Caldari culture, and the Caldari people.

The Guristas are active allies of the Nation, an entity that has spent the previous few years enslaving anyone it can find. The Guristas have openly advocated capsuleer assistance to the Nation, as well. The Guristas are also allies of the Blood Raiders. Oh, and, in addition to that, they have their own crimes, which include kidnapping, murder, assassination, bombardment of planets with nerve agents, sabotage, and many other crimes too numerous to list. To suggest that they are some sort of haven for Caldari isn't just deceptive, it's blatantly stupid, considering the fact that everyone knows this.

And as for we capsuleers, don't forget that one of the founding members of the Guristas has some serious issues with podders, and wants us all dead. Sounds like an excellent employment prospect, doesn't it? For you, that is. Those of us with loyalty, some ethics, and a modicum of intelligence know where our actions are best direct.

Just love it when traitors say they "betray the nation for the good of the nation". It's so marvelously clear they're either mad, delusional or plainly lying, that I can't help but bring a smile to my face.

Thank you for this smile, I hope your "misguided kinsmen" repay it for me in a large barrage of missile fire. That's the best way of repaying traitors.

There are other options for those seeking to "escape" the turmoil of the State and to do so in a non criminal fashion. There is the Legion, the Syndicate, and the Kingdom as a starting point.

If it were not for the Megas abusing the Caldari people, no one would have supported his rise to power. The Megas share in Heth's crimes.

The Magas are not the people; they are a creation used to exploit the people. Being Caldari has nothing to do with corporations. I think my ancestors of the Raata Empire can attest to that.
