[IPI] Prosperity Speech

Recently, following the Intaki Prosperity Initiative's presidential election, Sakaane Eionell gave her acceptance speech during a ceremony held at the Intaki Cultural Center on Intaki Prime.

Text of the speech follows.


Quote:
Suresha Hawke,
Members of the Intaki Liberation Front,
Honored guests,

Prosperity.

It is a word that means a successful, flourishing, or thriving condition, especially in financial respects. It means good fortune.

I've had the good fortune to be elected President of the Intaki Prosperity Initiative by my peers. I want to thank each of you for your faith, trust, and support in me. It is an honor and a privilege to accept this position from Suresha Hawke and continue his good work with the alliance. I also have the good fortune to fly with many talented pilots, some of whom ran against me in the recent election. I'm proud to call each of you my friend. You have become my family and I could not have come this far without you.

We have the good fortune to live and work in close proximity to one of the most beautiful planets in all of New Eden: Intaki. The gardens in which we stand today are testament to the incredible beauty the homeworld offers. Likewise, many of us have the good fortune to have been born here, or can trace our lineage directly to Intaki. Or if not here, then to nearby colonies: Dubaana, Ud'har, or Rohaanar to name a few within the Intaki sovereignty. We also have the good fortune to share our homeland with those who have come to Intaki from afar, whether to learn our ways or contribute constructively to our society's wellbeing.

Two years ago this January 31, the Intaki Prosperity Initiative was born. Its mandate is to promote peace, economic development, and prosperity for Intaki and the surrounding systems. To this end, let me express gratitude and congratulations to everyone who has, to date, dedicated themselves to this directive and cared for and supported the alliance's development. You are the people who want to help create a better future for Intaki. You aspire to an Intaki where everyone can succeed, where excellence and opportunity coexist, and the people are free from the burdens of piracy.

Achieving prosperity should not be a quest to seek an advantage for one group over the other, nor to create prosperity for some by impoverishing others. The IPI's purpose must be to provide a framework in which all in Intaki can benefit; in which inequities can be addressed; and in which all our people can prosper, thus building a structure of mutually beneficial, win-win and all-dimensional cooperation. The alliance should support the local communities and families that work so hard to care for each other. It should look to its members for assistance, resources, and friendship. IPI should also defend the rights of law-abiding citizens and promote Intaki values and interests at home and abroad. To achieve this end, we must move forward with great determination, courage, and energy, and pursue proactive policies that add to the alliance's development.

However, there is more to be done. The stability and security of Intaki, though greatly improved from years past thanks to the efforts of the Intaki Liberation Front, Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive, and others, remains uncertain in the face of the ongoing Empyrean War and persistence of Serpentis and unsavory capsuleer organizations. Achieving prosperity depends on the ability of our forces to stand with one another and with our allies to defend the Intaki sovereignty from those wishing to inflict harm, take resources of which no ownership is granted, and otherwise create chaos and disorder for the people who call this area home. This principle of collective defense should always be a core task for this alliance. And there should be no doubt, in any of our member corporations, about that shared commitment.

The strongest expression of our sovereignty and desire for prosperity comes through presence and actions, not words. We need to adapt our alliance to effectively protect Intaki's population against these threats and carry out our business in the local economy. Member corporations should heed the call to promote prosperity and security in Intaki by being in Intaki, if not all of the time, then at least the majority of the time. Around this core principle all members should be united.

We must strengthen our defense. We must strengthen our cooperation with each other. And we must strengthen our partnerships with other alliances. None of this will be possible without you. With you, I want to make the Intaki Prosperity Initiative a success story we can be proud of and which the people of Intaki can embrace with confidence. I look forward to the meaningful support of all our members, new and old, to fulfill the mandate envisioned two years ago at the alliance's birth, that is, to create a more prosperous future within the Intaki sovereignty.

Thank you.

Yes, we 'll keep doing our part:

=====================
Buy or Sell / When / Type / Price / Quantity / Credit / Currency / Client / Where / Who

Sell / 2012.03.18 03:39 / Robotics / 52,499.00 / 312 / 16,379,688.00 / ISK / Apollonius Verus / Intaki V - Moon 5 - Astral Mining Inc. Refinery / Jeane DuPont

=====================


I'm sorry I wasn't aware both IPI and I-RED demands even the most basic goods to keep their structures running at Intaki, thats why DUPO was allways selling its surpluses at Stacmon to the highest bidder. We'll keep that in mind next time.

For Intaki Prosperity.

What's your point? That a single person in I-RED purchased a little over five hundred mechanical parts? Do you realize how small a share of our total fuel needs that is?

Of course I do realize how small a share that was. Keeping a large Minmatar Control Tower running at a C5 Anoikis System gives me the precise perspective of how small that share was....

Still, DUPO is capable to keep producing surpluses of both Robotics and Mechanical Parts in Intaki. Even though that single purchase of yours was really small, it was symbolic on its meaning and it was just one of many, from the past to the future. Rest assured.

Yes, contributing to Intaki Prosperity makes me feel proud Simca.

We are a fighting alliance. We concentrate on combat operations, not industrial production. Most of our self-produced starbase fuel comes from the side projects of dedicated combat pilots. Like myself for example... I produce a small amount of fuel per month. However, the amount of fuel produced or purchased for us in the entire Placid region pales in comparison to the Jita purchases made in extreme bulk. You are not the first, last, or largest person we have purchased fuel from.

I still fail to see the point you're trying to make. What is symbolic about it? That you suggest we cannot maintain our own starbases under self sufficient means? Or are you suggesting you are somehow important to the grand scheme of I-RED's fuel supply?

Let me simplify my questions: Why are you posting in this thread?

Don't be so aggressive.... We've just placed 1.923 more Robotics units for sale at Intaki V-V for a price even cheaper than the one before Go ahead and take it, or let it for IPI or whomever is faster...

My sincere apologies. I tend to assume the worst intentions for anybody mentioning I-RED, especially if they're slandered or otherwise fought us before. Defensive discourse has become the norm.

My apologies to the Original Poster.

An interesting position coming from a disciple of Saxon Hawke. It's been my experience that anyone who advocates use of force to obtain their objectives usually soon finds their way out of the Suresha's employment.

Good luck, President Eionell, you will most certainly need it.

There is nothing new in ILF advocating the use of force through their actions Mr. Karana. It's been a while, and very intense. On several occasions I've flew alongside with them fighting not only known pirate organizations but also people [not blues] who had nothing to do with Intaki affairs inside Syndicate space, under the fleet command of Mr. Mammal Tafren.

I think that what happened is, maybe, this time, instead of stimulating people to leave the organization, Mr. Hawke decided to actually step aside and let things flow according to other people's interests but his own.

I don't see anything wrong with that. I just don't understand why not to admit it.

As for the free use of aggressiveness by the part of some I-RED individuals who flew with me in the past and whom I once had on high account on a thread where they had nothing to speak only because I mentioned our corporation was ready to keep filling the Intaki market with goods they need, I can only say I'm sorry, but this is IGS, anyway...

I'm not saying that it doesn't happen on occasion that elements of the ILF take a direct physical approach. My point is that those who do usually are not long with the ILF. I could point out Mr. Tafren, for example, who has left the employ of the ILF over ideological differences with the Suresha. Prior to his departure, Mammal was demoted from his position as leader of the ILF's combat forces. At nearly the same time the top three combat pilots in the ILF defected to KISEC.

Suresha Hawke is a man of peace and perhaps in time his leadership would be appropriate for the Intaki way of life. But now is not that time. As President Eionell has so eloquently noted, now is the time for force of arms to secure a lasting prosperity for the future.

I, for one, welcome this bold new era. It's coming has been long overdue.

If any of my resources can be of assistance, I pledge them to this cause.

Finaly we are getting somewhere in here...

All they have to do, Mr. Karana, is to try to follow what I-RED has already started but couldn’t accomplish. And be authentic, without trying to portrait themselves as something they are not and without arrogance shall they need whomever support is needed, even if it means buying "Robotics and Mechanical Parts" at the local market. Smile

If they succeed, we shall see a better Intaki. I'm skeptical, by own experience, because they are still ideologicaly controversial and militaristic weak.

Namas Tayam,

Thank you all for your feedback and well wishes. I was away for the last week enjoying the holoreel convention so please allow me to take time now to address some of your comments.

My desire to see IPI implement a viable combat unit across its member corporations should not overshadow our other goals. IPI is not, and has never been, a military organization, though it has been long stated that one alliance objective is to "vigorously combat the capsuleer and Serpentis pirates who continually wreak havoc on the local population, destroy lives and property, and disrupt commerce". How can we achieve this if we don't develop a strong defense force and thereafter use it to show these undesirable elements they are not welcome? It is simply time for us to make good on this goal while we continue to pursue our successful commercial initiatives.

Jyotmimana Karana wrote:

I'd like to point out that this statement is inaccurate. Mammal was not demoted; he freely chose to step down (the reasons for which need not be mentioned here). Mammal's efforts as Isha-Sainika were many and worthwhile, providing a good base for ILF and IPI to build its defense efforts upon. I'm happy to accept your declaration of support of IPI and my presidency, Jyotmimana, but will appreciate if you refrain from slandering or spreading falsehoods about our friends and allies.

All in all, any application of force by IPI should be made wisely and balanced against everything else we do as part of our peaceful commitment to Intaki and the surrounding systems. We continue to be hands-on with the Intaki 5-5 trade hub when other groups in Viriette have come and gone, and will look to expand the alliance's member base as well as our industrial and trade activities. These goals simply will not come to fruition unless we also police the areas we undertake them in.

Assistance from anyone who has a wholesome desire for prosperity in Intaki will be welcomed.

IPI Announces Formation of New Trade Hub

Namas Tayam,

For over two years the Intaki Prosperity Initiative, along with our allies and partners, has maintained a successful trade hub at Intaki 5-5. For residents of Viriette and the greater Placid region, the Intaki 5-5 hub makes many ships and other equipment available which they might otherwise have to travel outside Placid to acquire.

Building upon this success, IPI is pleased to announce we will be proceeding with an idea recently put forth by Bataav en Gravonere, who represents ILF on the IPI Council.

Effective immediately, the Intaki Prosperity Initiative will create additional support for our community through establishment of a stable manufacturing and industrial base at Agoze IX - Moon 2 - Center for Advanced Studies. Here, a second trade hub will stockpile and sell minerals and ores. The manufacturing facilities located in this station will provide the constellation with a solid foundation for heavy industry.

We encourage all miners operating in the area to begin transporting the fruits of their labors to Agoze in support of this venture. Already, the Intaki Liberation Front has begun seeding the market with materials, while other corporations have confirmed their interest.

Please join us in working toward enhancing the local economy. We look forward to creating a success in Agoze as solid as our success in Intaki.

Thank you.

This is an interesting idea, although the measure of your success in the formation of a trade hub in Intaki 5-5 is quite questionable. We've been the sole and most competitive sellers of Robotics at Intaki 5-5 for more than a month now and the flux of buyers for this commodity is quite slow or next to null. Other types of capital goods face the same end and the only asset that appear to have more liquidity are the ships being sold to pirates at your trade hub. Prices of almost everything being sold at Intaki 5-5 are far from being competitive most of the times if we compare them with what can be bought just 3 jumps away at the real Placid trade hub in Stacmon. You are not being honest in that perspective, or perhaps ILF is still too worried with profits trying to make this trade hub work.

Still, the Agoze idea is quite interesting and we have to admit, well intentioned. The only thing that concerns me is how you are going to incentivize the formation of a heavy industry in Agoze if miners and/or industrialists don’t have security for their work, either with mining or the hauling of goods. Not to mention the taxes everyone has to pay, including your organization, to DAXUS AG, everytime we have to operate anything on almost every customs office in the vicinity.

Also, why using Agoze facilities to that end? If IPI is so interested in Intaki Prosperity, why not offering YOUR OWN shipyards in Intaki for people to manufacture ships?
