It's no stretch to say that the Senate and the the CEP are looking more and more alike with each passing election.

Illustrious project.
Not really surprised to see some simpleminded outrage at the hint of what happens when reality interferes with noble plans, both because it's offering that sweet feeling of vindication and because this is the IGS and it's the reason we all come here.

Don't mind him, though, he's doing this as his job, it's probably not even his own opinion.

the inclusion of religious proselytizing as part of the programme. It was shown early on that the populations of the selected colonies were both aimless and self-centered, unwilling to grasp the concepts of collective good and focus their efforts on improving life. Research had also shown during out Intaki campaign that 'free populations' unbound to any other commitment but themselves are easily swayed by zeal and faith. Thus, we found contract with varying Amarr-aligned groups to bring the Faith to Syndicate.

The resulting effects of religious conversion showed a marked change for better OR worse, depending on the colony. Colony FT-9715 reacted violently within two weeks and was summarily excised from the program. Colony DD-8153 tripled its concurrent workload on its own and finished the entire project seven months ahead of schedule. Most remaining colonies remained marginally affected, with a trend towards improvement. .

I-Red is to be commended for recognizing the value of structured spirituality to an Ordered, Community-Centered and Productive Society.

Precisely, Tuulinen, but also keep in mind that Wayism is not a product to be exported. It is neither something I personally care to share with foreigners. It was mostly a personal decision not to risk insulting my own faith by trying to convert a bunch of outsiders to it.

Besides, Wayism is less efficient as a behavioral modifier when applied outside of existing Caldari culture. The Amarr faith has a proven track record of adjusting the behavioral patterns of entire civilizations simply by its introduction, even without force of arms. When considered as a method of population control, Amarr is easily the more practical choice.

So it turns out a little Caldari pragmatism can make even the Empire's dodderings useful. That's both scary and reassuring.

You're already a traitor for your provist association. Your opinion literally means jack ****. Also they're spreading state influence well beyond the bounds of any other group. While you waste time on systems going back and forth, they bypass the pointless war act system and strike out to nul to sow seeds of what may well be future systems of the state.

So yeah they're doing more than you. Nice try though.

How can you manage to be raised and educated by the State and still not grasp basic principles like expanding markets, resource exploitation and consolidating territory? What they're doing in Syndicate damn near epitomizes every core value we hold dear in the State, unlike your nutbag "kill the feddies raarrrr!" spiel, seriously.

Among the many duties citizens of the State have, fighting in the militias is somewhere near the bottom.

Also, if we're going to talk about embezzling State funds... Who was the guy indicted for the largest case of embezzlement again? Just recently... Hoth.... Hath...

Oh, no. It was Heth.

And didn't he also seize everyone elses Black Rise systems, too?

Let's be honest. Did any of us expect her to leave an intelligent comment here?

Yes Kimmie Kims, we are the very bads. I-RED not knowings how State! Please teach us the Caldarians!

Ms. Oniseki, thank you for you... "intelligent comment".
I would prefer to instead talking to someone, who wrote your this report that you posted in this board.

Honest question, Kimmy, and I'm not trying to be offensive. What do you gain from this? I-RED basically just indebted several colonies to their corporations, and thus the state. There are more ways to beat your enemy then just shooting them, and I-RED employ them very well.

Ms. Osyn, neither Intaki, nor Syndicate, nor even pirates Serpentis are at war with the State, while the Federation is. And the State fights for Caldari people, not for people of Syndicate. They are already free from Federal occupation, while many other Intakis are still held as federal puppets.

What do I want to gain? This is rather simple. I want for every available personnel and resource was used in interests of the State and Caldari people, and not in interests of semi-criminal jaijii and paramilitary mercenary corporation, that claims to be "Caldari", while in fact evading service to the State and making ties to enemies of the State.

The Intaki are part of the Federation, so warring with the Feds means warring with the Intaki.

That aside, from my perspective, I-RED has done more to hurt Gallente war efforts then the entirety of the FW fleets by befriending our allies and internal factions, thus taking the proverbial wind from our sails on the battlefield. Their PR department has kept at least as many Federation assets of the field to begin with as you have destroyed.

So, are they traitors because they don't serve in the same capacity as you?

There is no crisis. There is only progress.

All due respect to I-RED, that's giving them a little too much credit here. They helped out a few down-in-the-dumps planetary colonies that Syndicate couldn't be moved to give a damn about. That's certainly very nice and speaks well to the character of the corporation, but it doesn't really do much more than that.

The fact that you are acting quite hostile to a Federal investigation, be it an independent capsuleer or a government agency suggest that there is something to hide.

It might alternately simply suggest that they don't treat hostile governments and their citizens as if they'd deserve to be recieved with a red carpet rolled out for them. I-RED is under no obligation to allow Federal investigations and you demanding tsuch instead of e.g. requesting a tour, is certainly not putting them in the mood to cater to your wishes. Quite understandably so.

Having had a look at some of these colonies, I got the impression that those that held up their sides of the contracts benefitted admirably. These places were not the kind of easily romanticised civilizations the Federation likes to put as feathers on it's hat. They did real work there to improve the situation of the average joe, who previously was at the mercy of criminals. I mean, it's not like there was much of a 'local economy' to destabilize, unless you mean pirate-run extortion rings. Sure, if you ask me I'd say I-RED benefitted as well, but why do you Federals have this idea that humanitarian aid is only okay if the side providing it doesn't make a profit? The best aid is mutually beneficial.

And it's not like I-RED just financed the economical build-up of those previously God-forsaken places, they also provided aid in civilizing these former pirate holes by bringing in help for developing the cultural and ethical foundation necessary for any civilized society to thrive.
