Intergalactic Summit

Mens Reppola of Ishukone proves yet again that he's a better man than Heth will ever be. Heth's decision to move the Shiigeru into low orbit cost tens of millions of lives and countless State resources on both the ground and in orbit. Even if the State holds control of Caldari Prime's surface what next? There will be no chance for reinforcements and the CPD will crumble without the necessary logistical support.

The fact that firing the doomsday device on Caldair Prime was attempted disgusts me. At this point though I have no love for Heth or Roden. They both want to kill the clone soldiers of my organization and are more concerned with the ground war then civilians trapped in the devastated Arcurio.

If Heth obstructs the Ishukone forces or the Ishukone Watch in any way he will have revealed himself as the traitor of the State many of us already know him to be.

That's because Mens Repola is a true Statesmen and not some vile madman that over and over again shows his utter contempt for ancestral home lands through invasion, subjugation, and genocide.

Ishukone Corporation has long been a pioneer of diplomacy and putting aside pride and enmity to accomplish a greater goal for a greater number of people. If only more in the Federation and the State possessed these qualities.

I imagine most Caldari would think approaching the Gallente Senate on their knees and begging for access to their own home planet constitutes a vile dishonor bordering on the need for an assisted suicide.

As I said, vile submission.

Despite Heth's recent shortcomings the man can hold his head high for trying and not begging, unlike Repola.

Taking what one wants, not asking politely.

And one lost battle, no matter the size, does not a lost cause make. There will be more blood before they are done.

THIS is the time for true State patriots to pick their jaws off the floor, put aside differences, and take what is theirs together.

Or let the Federation have it and go home, and deal with the collective emotional consequences.

I believe that while this conflict continues and before we completely secure space around Caldari Prime and make any attack of gallentean invaders impossible, centralised government is more suitable to achieve these goals.

I have always been fond of Mens Repolla and the Ishukone corporation. During the years I lived in the State, members of the Ishukone corporation welcomed me with open arms into the State and didn't care what my cultural and ethnic background was. As long as I was there, I was one of them in their eyes.

As a Gallente citizen I don't deserve to say much on internal affairs of the State, however I do have my two cents. I don't think the State should be ruled by anyone person, but if it must be that way, Mens Repolla is a great candidate who will restore glory to the State and peace with the Federation.

But still, even if the best man or woman in New Eden was running the State, I still think that power should not be focused on one person, no matter who he or she is.

Chief Executor Mens Reppola's wisdom and integrity are to be honored and serve as examples to all Caldari.

However, the State should not replace one centralized leader with another. The State was formed as a corporate meritocracy, it should be restored to it.

We shouldn't have to, because the Gallente should respect our territory just as they would ask us to respect theirs. Unfortunately, that is not the situation, and, regardless of his methods, Mens Reppola is doing his duty to the State by seeking to aid our citizens.

Beyond that, do bear in mind, Caldari Prime is a few jumps into Federation Space, so asking for safe passage is a good idea. For those shortsighted amongst you who want to fight, please bear in mind that cyno jammers are active, so such a proposition involves sub capital fights through multiple systems. Not just Luminaire. That is a logistically unsound plan just to bring aid to an ailing planet.

If we had to choose a representative for the State Reppola would be a superb choice, but the CPD and the Executor position are a farce, and Heth should take it with him when he leaves. It is not the Caldari way for one group to install its members amongst the megacorporations and hold everyone at gunpoint to agree with the whims of one man. The will of the megacorps should be directing any leader we have, not the other way around.

Some lead by power of rule, some lead by example.

Ah, of course, it is Ishukone which shows weakness by acknowledging reality, not Tibus Heth and his Provists that have bled the State dry for five years with an ill-advised war, and a reckless provocation of the Federation that resulted in an embarrassing defeat for his highest-profile bootlicker in the Caldari Navy, one which cost countless thousands of lives not only in space but also on the planet below.

The wisdom of the Provists, here for all to see. Our problem at Caldari Prime was not that the Navy was under the command of an old woman who had sacrificed her loyalty to the CEP to instead cling to relevance as the whore of a loader operator, or placing thugs and untrained legbreakers in charge of keeping the peace on our homeworld, it was that we were not brutal enough to the Gallente. Sure if we had simply bathed Caldari Prime in even more blood, they would have come around to our way of thinking! We must burn the face of our world to save it!

Your kind disgust me, and the lot of you are a joke that has long since worn out its welcome. It is time for the Caldari to abandon this dangerous experiment with centralized government and populist insanity that has poisoned our State for these last five years.



Ishukone and Hyasyoda are the only two corporations that have displayed the least bit of sense these last five years, and even that has been shamefully underwhelming. If you want to know who has "stained the dignity" of the Caldari State, look at yourself. You kowtow to an ideologue who has done nothing but destroy what our ancestors built, who won our homeworld back but only at the cost of our very soul, and now we are on the brink of losing even that -- to be left with nothing but an endless sorrow for our lost brothers and sisters. The Winds howl and weep for their children and all we have thrown away.

Look not to the Gallente for who has poisoned our blood. It is the Hethists and their madness that have twisted the State into a shadow of its former self. Only by ending their reign and returning to our principles can we be saved.
