Security of Intaki is being farmed out to a known criminal organization. What do our pro-separatist quisling apologists have to say in response?

I call on all Federation Militia pilots to boycott Intaki. No upgrades. They don't want our help, and therefore we should not give it.

Thanks to the Federation Militia, you are closer to your dream of independence as well. You live in a Federation - the only true democracy in New Eden, not a Fascist dictatorship. You are welcome.

I was with you until you called Yuri a lesbian and other such nonsense...come on man, show some respect, at least.

While General Gallentius' public chestbeating was entirely inevitable following FedMil's recent advance into the Intaki system, I'm not entirely convinced over what we have been "saved" from.

There are comments about Caldari rule, but having been active in Intaki for a very long time I've seen little evidence of State dominion.

Yes, Caldari Navy vessels have patrolled through the system from time to time, and the State banner was on display at a military installation somewhere in the system, but system-wide governance? Caldari control? The personal and private fiefdom of a single CalMil pilot, whose sexual preferences somehow find themselves relevant? No, these recycled FedMil exaggerations are no reflection of the facts.

The Intaki Assembly continued in its capacity as the local authority, with all of the administrative and legislative power it has always had.

There are also "concerns" voiced over Caldari corporations exploiting the system, stripping it bare of its resources. There is of course little evidence of exploitation, unless of course we look (admittedly with an overly cynical mind, and I am being purposefully so when I say this) to the established Federal stations in the system, set up as they are for efficient mining, storage and export, but providing little in the way of manufacturing, research or retail.

And next a corrupt military force patrolling the heavens! As I respond right now, I am in the Intaki system looking at Federation Navy ships, in numbers, openly and blatantly disregarding the wishes of the Intaki Assembly who specifically and explicitly exercised their right to deny Federation Navy access to the system. The Federation might like us to believe they respect the autonomy of its member nations, but the evidence is to the contrary.

The General then takes a moment to adopt a more positive attitude. This is good. He speaks of the potential for FedMil to actually invest in the Intaki system, raising it to Tier 5 status.

Proudly announcing that Intaki will benefit from additional in-station manufacturing and blueprint related facilities, he does of course reveal his ignorance of the system in that the Federation corporations in Intaki do not offer these facilities to begin with, and as such these "improvements" could never be granted.

But I'm perhaps being unfair to the General. Upgrading to Tier 5 would be a positive step to be applauded and welcomed, by Federal and Secessionist alike. Unfortunately for the General, he was again incorrect when suggesting these benefits would be unprecedented and thus far had never been seen in the constellation.

Until recently Intaki had already been enjoying Tier 5 status and the benefits that brings. The actions of FedMil are directly responsible for this no longer being the case and so Intaki is, under the occupation of FedMil, worse off than it was less than a fortnight ago.

And so we come to the final comments from members of FedMil. Remarks such as "Intaki is dead to me" and "Boycott Intaki. No upgrades". These spite-filled sentiments reveal a severe lack concern for the citizens they claim to protect. They do not care for the welfare of the people who find themselves in the middle of a warzone, suffering from the effects any conflict has on a population.

All that matters is that the Generals can replace little blue flags with little green flags, pinning them to their campaign maps so that they can back-slap and congratulate each other for the "liberation" of a people they very clearly despise.

Their efforts to subjugate Intaki and its people will, however be in vain.

Less than 24 hours since their victory, their attitude and public statements have marginalised and alienated Intaki across the Federation. Already the general population and capsuleers alike speak out to give voice to their distaste. Slowly people come to the realisation that in the case of Intaki, only a fully independent and autonomous Intaki nation state, an Intaki Sovereigty, will act in the best interests of its own people.

Intaki Endures.

As for my friends in the IPI, I am sure words speaking larger than action from the Federation comes as no surprise to you. Best of luck in your efforts.

Meanwhile, legions of vicious and totally insane pirates lurking in nullsec thirst for the blood of the weakened victor and all the innocent victims left in the wake of the two thrashing titans. Every one of you should feel ashamed.

Basically, if you feel that the powers that be are not living up to your expectations, maybe they do not owe you that service? Take up arms, find like-minded people, and push the scourge of piracy out of Placid. That is assuming you have the mettle and oratory to achieve such a thing, hmm?

If liberty and equality of Intaki people, as is thought by some, are to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share the same moral values. Therefore a brief conversation with Mr. Gallentius is the best argument against democracy.

Intaki people have the same values they strive for a life of virtue, how would you label them?

Amarrians should be aware that while both the Empire and the Intaki are deeply spiritual societies, similarities end there, and the vast majority of Intaki would be gravely insulted by most comparisons the average Amarrian capsuleer often tries to draw between their cultures.
