I--

Well. Let me say that I suspect that the CEP could stand to retain a better PR firm.

There is clear contradiction in the statement issued here; that there were no executives colluding with the Federation with regard to Heth or Caldari Prime, but that the Federation should turn over its materials on compromised executives as a matter of cluster stability.

I fear this as much as confirms that, indeed, executives were compromised, and which executives were compromised is not known to the CEP. I will be submitting a petition to request that the Caldari Business Tribunal open an investigation for possible treason against the State; while the CBT does not normally investigate the crimes of individuals, as this is treason against the State I feel that they both have jurisdiction and the necessary authority to pursue this matter to its end.

Obviously, an inquisitorial tribunal of this sort is an open-ended affair; a clear mandate must be made, and it must remain under the authority of the CEP to ensure that while it pursues its mandate zealously, it does not do so overzealously.

Incompetent leadership has continued to be a problem within this State. Now more than ever.

Perhaps it isn't Tibus Heth that is needed but rather someone else who can clean house.

And preferably not someone GallenteGǪ

As said, Gesakaarin-haani, the CEP should surely retain a better PR firm. The demand-- while making it clear that the CEP regards the allegations as false --then proceeds to treat them as legitimate by expressing concern over corporate espionage and cluster stability. We could debate which takes precedence, but the contradiction is plain and ultimately does express concern over Federation spying.

I, too, agree with Oiritsuu-haani's statement; it is the sentiment of many State loyalists, expressed at length since the news of spying and Federation grandstanding came to light.

Usually, Gesakaarin, quotes in articles are in fact quotes. It may be from an abstract from a CEP report, or it may have been a summary statement by a press officer before release of the statement, or it may have been from the body of the formal release. Either way, it stands that a quote is a quote.

We're done here.

The gallentean influence in this affair is undeniable.

Just look at the whole affair about Admiral Yanala.

1. Implying that planetary attack was to destroy the planet or whole population is exclusively gallentean incompetent or PR movement against Caldari Citizens. The fact is, that only gallenteans so far used orbital bombardments against civilian targets. The titan could provide our ground troops on Caldari Prime with tactical orbital bombardment against hostile forces. This type of warfare has been in use for some time already, and I myself did this kind of bombardments. For this, you need direct coordinates from your ground troops on the surface. Every slightly experienced pilot knows what is this and how to do this. The whole "destruction of the planet or whole population" is nothing more than gallentean hoax. Those, who advertise this point of view, are gallentean supporters.

2. Another gallentean PR against the State and Tibus Heth, is claim about murder of Admiral Yanala. Every real Caldari understands, that Heth-haan didn't "murder" her, but rather has provided her with means of going away with maintaining honor. It was her choice, and all I want to say, that if I were in place of Heth-haan, I would offer her the tea, just as he did. And I were in place of Yanala-haani, I would take this tea, just as she did. All this "murder" hoax is going from those, who don't understand what does it mean to be Caldari.

The levels of incompetence in this press release are astounding. They come out with a firm statement that they found nothing, then demand intelligence from a faction they're at war with, as if the Federation would simply give it for free without any hesitation.

Either they don't believe the Highlander story, or they've fallen for it hook line and sinker, they need to make their minds up, but they shouldn't make demands they can't back up. It's begging under the guise of barking, and has completely compromised their position.

The Federation could simply turn around and say "no" under the guise of "we're not going to give something for nothing, just for asking" and we're no closer to knowing if a list even exists or not. It's a damned charade, and the State needs to bring something to the negotiating table to call the Federation's bluff. Because right now they look incompetent and paranoid.
