By employing various third parties and subsidiaries Angel Wing has acquired the control of several orphanages in Heimatar. All orphanages now owned by Angel Wing set up and run in complete accordance with Republic law and new residents are continually appropriated through various sources.
Angel Wing is now providing these distraught and discarded youngsters proper care and education. We provide them with a stable home, give them a purpose in life and attempt to raise them as proper moral human beings. As soon as the orphans reach legal adulthood I will offer them a free trip to the Empire for job interviews and employment in my organization should they wish so.
Orphans raised like slaves
I am happy to say that the regime used for their care and education is a near exact copy of the one followed by the slave children I own here in the Empire. After some research it became clear that the level of control Minmatar law gives orphanages over such orphans is more than sufficient to use the Amarr slave raising methods we have much experience and success with. Only the chapter of sale of children to other eductional facilities needed to be completely rewritten.
The first reports are very promising. Literature research showed that Matari orphans are a problematic group, with a high incidence of criminal activity, lots of self-worth issues and poor prospects for a productive career in general. The loving but strict regime designed for slaves seems very effective to treat this group at this time.
Facility Locations
Of course, I cannot divulge the names or locations of these orphanages as this would expose these children and the dedicated staff to undue risk from Republic citizens who think they donĘt need to respect their own laws.
Angel Wing is proud to provide these services to the Matari people and making an effort to bring many more Matari souls into the embrace of God. It took quite a few trips into Heimatar high-security space the last few months and while it might have looked like my purpose was to intimidate and destroy random terrorists of the Minmatar Militia, the combat operations were merely a convenient cover for this operation.
Donations and Support
We are still busy expanding our operations and support in the form of donations are welcomed. To assure a minimal amount of the donations ends up in the hands of corrupt Republic officials, Angel Wing asks you not to send us isk, but materials that we can use to help these poor youngsters. Polytextiles so that they can make their own clothes and bedding, construction blocks so that we can expand the prayer rooms and sleeping quarters, biocells for to heat their rooms during the harshest winter nights and vaccines to combat the numerous infectious diseases that run rampant on these Matari worlds. Think of the children, you can help too!
Please contract such donations to Angel Wing or myself at the Emperor Family Academy in Amarr or at the Six Kin facility in Rens.

None of us need more of that, please re-consider your actions and how effective or helpful they are, before you go ahead with them.
I'm sure there is a place for them among the many Starkmanir, recent converts or those freed from slavery by the Empress edict who returned to Heimatar.
I can only do my best to help in their upbringing, if I could re-educate the Matari population and free them from this irrational hatred of the Amarrian faith, I would.
I am operating fully within Republic law. If the law incorrectly allows Matari children to be raised in an Amarrian way or with the Amarr faith, then tyrant Shakor should change the law. Until then I'm helping poor orphans and doing the work of God.

I do hope that the children are not being indoctrinated in any religious dogma or doctrine. I wish that they are instead being taught critical thinking, looking at the various faiths, their beliefs and their history from a purely objective standpoint, so that in later life they may be able to make their own decisions.
I have done my research: Brutor-run orphanages mostly teach Brutor traditions, orphans in Sebiestor-run orphanages learn mostly Sebiestor customs etc. etc. Certainly critical thinking or 'teaching a wide variety of beliefs and traditions' has never been a part of the standard Matari curriculums, so I have no idea why you are trying to sketch such as normal or even desired.
The orphanages I sponsor are being run like most Republic orphanages, mostly teaching traditions related to only one tribe, in our case the Starkmanir. If you think this is somehow illegal, I urge you to hire better legal advisors, or at least consult with them before you say such things in public.

Lord Merdaneth, that you are operating under Republican laws is only to be expected. I am not concerned with the legality of your operations, I am quite sure that are sound. I am concerned with how this will be percieved by the Republic in general. I can forsee alot of bad situations and few positive ones by basically provoking them like this, even if that was not your intent.
Sister Kyriel, if one sees a starving person by the side of the road, one invites him into one's house for a good meal and a bit of warmth by the hearth. One does not refuse this because of 'what the neighbours might think'. The essence of charity is doing the right thing and helping those in need, regardless of what other people think of it or if it is convenient.
My second point was, that if the Matari people think my operations shouldn't be allowed, they should make it illegal to do so. It is not that hard to do, simply ban all traditions, religions and customs except for the few ones authorized by the government. Or make a law that parents and legal custodians cannot decide how the children in their care are raised and let that be determined by the government. If the Republic is unwilling to make such laws, then they shouldn't complain about my activities.
I am tired of this: 'come to the Republic, you are free to listen to any music you want' attitude that when you actually listen to a song most people don't approve of turns into a 'he is listening to evil music, kill him!'

I'm not a lawyer but, kow can an entity called Angel Wing operate legaly in the Republic if it's in Amarr Milita and is KOS to the Republic Militia and Navy ? From my point of view it's impossible, you should rather operate thru a third party organization that has no official connections with the Angel Wing.
That might be why the very first sentence of my opening post says that Angel Wing is operating through thirds parties and subsidiaries.
Even if I didn't operate in this manner, the war charter only forbids me entering in high-security space when in control of space vessels. Assets in the Republic are not forfeited when one enters the militia, nor is it forbidden to engage in any kind of business transaction.
It hardly always the case that fighting as a soldier in a war doesn't make one a criminal in the judicial system of the opposing party. I'm a soldier of the Empire, approved by legal charter, and such an affiliation is not illegal in the Republic.

You've done no such thing anymore that I have gone to Ordion and released all of the planet's slave population. You know why I know? Because it's in a post written on IGS, by you, showing no proof. Because this would have been on the news.
My poor confused terrorist, we live in a world where the capture of 20,000 citizens a planet by Sansha dropships often isn't even worth a mention in the news. We live in a world where battles take the lives of millions of crewmen daily, yet the news keeps babbling about a few hundred miners trapped in a collapsed mine. I'm quite sure that these orphanages, with which I've taken care to appear to operate just like any other Matari orphanage, is not worth a mention.
I've already received several threats from people, who claim they are busy trying to find the orphanages. Of course I'm not giving information that could be traced to those orphanages.

Because given to what happened to the plantation musical, every free thinking Matari soul on the Republic would have prevent such an action, hell, I know many who'd first see the children dead than brought up as slaves.
What are you going on about? You must seem to think that my methods include whips, branding irons and 20 day working hours doing menial jobs. The Plantation musical is a work of art, an exxageration of reality especially written to stir up emotions in those that watch it, it is not a realistic representation of the average plantation. You get that do you? You Matari don't automatically believe everything you see in the latest holovid do you?
Originally by: Neu Bastian
And most of all, because you could not raise children like slaves without breaking Matari laws, and hence all your little orphanages, third party or not, would be shut down.
If you can point me to the laws I've missed? I'm pretty sure the law allows me to teach any cultural tradition I want, I'm also pretty sure the law allows me to dictate what they eat, when they eat, what clothes they get to wear, in which rooms they sleep, what chair they need to sit in class. And yes, the law also allows me to prevent them from espacing, punish them when they misbehave.
You might have seen me compare slaves to children before. It is my position that children are virtual slaves in most societies, including the Matari tribes. They have no nearly no rights and have other people dictate what they should do, eat and even think. That is why I can 'raise them like slaves'.
Societies like yours are hypocrits. They say that oppose slavery, but do the very same things they abhor to their own children. I'm now doing my best to raise these orphans without the double standards. I'm doing my best to teach them to support and help their brothers and sisters, rather than kill them.

Thanks to several generous donators I've amassed quite a volume of goods that would help the orphanages in Amarr.
Seeing as Republic Fleet security forces tend to open fire on any ship I fly in their space, even an unarmed Bestower carrying harmless goods, I would like someone to do me another favor:
Can someone transport the goods from Amarr to Rens?
I will break up the goods there is smaller parcels and send them on the orphanages.

A questioned document examination by experts of both the RJD and the RSS confirmed it to be the handwriting of Merdaneth.
This seems to be one of my messages. Additionally, I've not heard from one of the orphanages in a few days.

As a result ms. Imoru report and the loss of contact with one of the orphanages Angel Wing is severing all ties with the more vulnerable orphanages. The orphanage staff will not receive further communiques from myself, or anyone affiliated with me. These orphanages will keep any donations already given to them but will not recieve further assistance from myself or anyone affiliated with me.
It has always been my aim to improve the life of these poor urchins. Having them or their caretakers murdered, imprisoned or abducted by racist and corrupt Republic Security Forces is not in agreement with that aim. I did not expect the response to be so extreme. I have full confidence that the remaining orphanages are safe from similar operations by rogue Republic agents.
I will state again: all operations have been conducted in complete accordance to Republic law and will continue to do so in the future.
As for ms. Imoru suggesting that some children might be taken as slaves: the children are Republic citizens. Turning them into slaves is illegal in both the Empire and in the Republic. I'll leave illegal operations to the likes of ms. Imoru or terrorist Del'thul.

Now it's not all bad. Merdaneth already said in the Summit that he's quite content for Bloody Hands sleeper agents to use the orphanages for cover histories and to gain sponsored employment within the Empire. Perhaps they shall.
If the Bloody Hands desire to use poor orphans as living weapons, then that blood will be on their hands. I guess they don't mind a their hands getting bloody, or their souls damned. To change one's principles out of fear for what some terrorist might do is not acceptable.

The only thing I find amazing here, is that anyone would be shocked by this; the Amarrians do not see Matari children as children. They simply see them as young slaves.
Perhaps you should find it amazing that the Matari treat their children almost as slaves. Creatures with no rights, forced to follow the instructions of their caretakers or suffer punishment for disobedience. The fact that the orphanages I sponsor can raise them according to my principles says more about the absolute power Matari traditions and laws invest in the caretakers than it does about my view of children.

My suprise is that there has been no response to this by the Republic greater than Militia and Independant Alliance resistance. Where is Fleet Command? Where are the Elders? Where is the official "THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN TO THE CHILDREN OF MATAR"?
If the Republic or the Elders truly cared that much about a few flea-bitten children, then they would have poored more isk into these institution instead of spending it on new installations and ships in the contested areas. The Republic has a tradition to ignore the cries of the needy and instead spend their income on building machines of war and conducting campaigns of terror.
Thousands of Matari citizens, young girls among them, are abducted daily by Angel criminals, and put to work in brothels or even fouler places in conditions one wouldn't wish on anyone. Have you seen any Republic spokesperson ever mention such matters? Perhaps because the perpetrators have family and friends in the government? Perhaps because they couldn't find an angle that profited them?

All this is starting to make me think you all freedom fighters seem to hate amarrian progressives even more than the conservatives because they do not fit to the vision on the Amarr Empire you want to maintain. It makes your political world easier to apprehend and your own appreciation of good and bad less problematic. It allows you to think less about the implications.
Many Minmatar simply want to fight and kill. Most of them are not searching for a peaceful solution.
No Minmatar complains when I report I shoot several Republic affiliates ships and create some orphans. That is what they expect of me. But when you try to help some orphans by funding a few orphanages, then it's suddenly a problem.
Likewise, freeing slaves but still being loyal to the Empire and God doesn't fit their conveniently black-and-white view of the world.
Do you Republic supporters honestly prefer me pouring funds into the forging of machines of war designed to kill Republic loyalists, or buying clothes for Matari orphans?

No, but at least I would have preferred that you do not do this out of hiding using third-party companies, but directly, so that we can control what's going on in the orphanages in question by keeping a close eye onto them and most importantly on you, since we do have little trust in Amarrians.
You don't need to know who is funding an orphanage to institute appropriate controls. If you check with prejudice, then of course you are going to find what you seek. Also, you should reign in that racist streak. I think it rather dumb to paint all people of Amarrian descent with the same broad stroke. And what do you mean with 'we'. I think you mean 'I'.
Also, I thought that a state controlling what goes on in an orphanage was against your freedom dogma?

I prefer honest death and destruction over children brainwashing any day.
If we are to killing each other over cultural differences, it seems obvious that either one or both cultures will need to adapt.
The only alternative is genocide. You may be willing to pay that price, I'm not. The Matari are children of the Lord too. They deserve a chance at have a proper life and save their immortal soul from damnation.
