Three years ago Prime Minister Karin Midular was shot in Luminaire. It took over two months before the man whose hand raised the gun was brought to justice, and even longer before she was let go from this world to that of her ancestors.
To this day, no investigation on what forces moved that man have been properly conducted. His own testimonial on that fact was quickly cut short. A threat of armed conflict quickly turned interests to the other way. The trial was short and the execution swift.
Where is Mentas Blaque? He sits at the head of the Federal Intelligence Office.
And who had the most to win? The same man whose power is founded on multiple assasinations to begin with.
Oh let me live a dutiful life Let me find my Fate and fulfill it May my ancestors smile when they look over me On this day, and on the day of my death
Let the bridges we burn light the way.

Executions of traitors, perhaps. The very article you link speak of the evidence left behind. You would perhaps prefer they remained in the power structure, so Midular's appeasement continued to be the policy enacted? The purging of the corrupt and the inveiglers was perhaps the finest act of patriotism and love for the Tribes I have seen in my life, enacted decisively and with precision.
I can only hope, should I ever be in a position where I act against my people in the way those traitors did, that someone has the strength and determination to dispatch me in the same way, leaving behind the evidence of a just act. |

I would, Del'thul, that our tribes held trials before they execute anyone as a traitor.

I'd like to see Mentas Blaque having some tribal justice as well. Gallenteans are racists and even their government is racist.
But honestly, I'd prefer to see them getting Caldari justice.

Who will investigate and arbitrate in a corrupt system? When something is that rotten, it can't be remedied piecemeal. It needs to be torn down and rebuilt with new materials. Even worse, saddling the broken system with many hundreds of accusations, investigations and strife during such a critical moment? It would be tantamount to crippling the tribes and destroying us from within.
It's unfortunate that it ever came to that, but when it got that bad the situation required swift and decisive action, which is exactly what happened. Sometimes you can only choose between a lesser or a greater evil.
Yes, in that situation it was most certainly too much to ask.
I do recall asking rather politely, and repeatedly, not to call me Del'thul. |

I once saw some 'evidence' that a certain Minmatar pilot, was responsible for the murder of several hundred thousand freed slaves, allegedly for "not being Minmatar enough". And some other 'evidence' that those several hundred thousands had actually just been sold back to Cartel slavers, to provide funds for fighting slavery.
If that 'evidence' had been professionally made, rather than what appeared to be some kind of half-baked frame-up, well then.

Hasn't the events surrounding that "certain pilot" been beaten long after its death by now?
May Midular's spirit find rest. I may not agree with her policies fully but I respect what she was. |

Quote:I am sure the FIO will be prompt in responding to the Ice Cream Audit Office Oh, Ayallah, FIO needs not to respond to IceAO, for this is not corporation business. IceAO is not a political entity.
Hell, FIO does not need to talk to me, either.
Just doing their job would be enough.
Without Mentas Blaque it would be more believable, though.
Quote:Who will investigate and arbitrate in a corrupt system? It is interesting, Mizhara, that you consider your tribal elders capable of issuing justice by murder, but not capable of issuing justice by trial. After all, the only tribe whose leadership has changed since is the Sebiestor tribe, and that did not happen until much later than the Parliament massacre. Surely, if they were then so deep in the corruption that they could not deal with it in a civilized manner, they are not fit to lead now either?

Call me supremacist as much as you like, but when brain functions of certain other people are on the level where legally dissolving a parliament is a worse act against the Republic than murdering said parliament's members, rigging an election, and seizing dictatorship, it is a little hard not to consider myself a tad above average.
I did not forget the Nefantar and the Starkmanir, either. They did not exactly change leadership, but for some reason unclear to me had to have their leaders blessed by the aforementioned dictator in a fancy ceremony before being allowed to call them Chiefs.

You don't see the weight such trials would put on the Tribes at that time? How saddling the system with hundreds of very high profile trials, investigations and more that could potentially go nowhere due to the corruption involved would cripple us? Sometimes what has to be done isn't nice, pretty or legal. It still has to be done, for our people and for the Tribes.
Of course, you have been more than willing to abandon our people in the Empire in the past, so I shouldn't be surprised that you'd prefer leaving the Nefantar and Starkmanir behind as well, in favor of a bloated and corrupt Midular appeasement favoring government. Because that is what would have happened if the cancer within hadn't been swiftly carved out with precision and skill. You think their liberation would have succeeded with all those traitors in our midst? Then again, you were more than willing to cower in Republic space and abandon our kin to the Empire before.
If you think the Tribes are under a dictatorship, rise up and fight against it. Do what has to be done. |

I did not abandon our kin. While some people were in zero sec complaining of lack of warmongering, I was running one of the biggest "underground railroads" across the Amarrian border. Gradient brought millions home over the years, ran refugee camps, provided jobs, connected clans.
Of course, no one remembers, because it was not, at the time, practical to make PR out of something that might have given the Amarrians an excuse to invade.
Practicality - the fact that we would have lost, still likely would lose an all-out war - was never an argument enough for you people to stop warmongering. Plausible deniability you called dishonorable, because for you, practical concerns about what it would mean to the tribes if we went after our own in force were not something we should consider before honor.
Somehow the toll to the tribes becomes a relevant argument when it is about murdering your own, though.
Funny, that.

That you would consider traitors working for the Amarr 'your own' just to spite Shakor says it all. |

Yes, I consider any member of my tribe as a member of my tribe until such time that due process has been conducted to outcast them.
Even criminals. Even convicted criminals, so why not those who have been denied a trial?
And U'K has very little to do with what I said, apart from, obviously, being an example of the type of people I spoke of. Only an example, though, and a historical one at that - I think most of them have gotten over it.

Dissolving the government in a time of crisis because it and the people it represents disagree with you does not make you a dictator, being beloved by the people and no one stepping forward to run against you does. This is your assertion?
You live in the Republic and should know better than to call the SanMatar a dictator. The Chiefs rule, not him. The only thing more inane in this thread is Mizhara of all people to wear a face mark coming at you for abandoning your people.
...I take that back, it is you implying that Chief Valkanir and Chief Setul are in their positions because they support the SanMatar and not because their Tribes chose them. Pretending Chief Valkanir did not earn her position after her many years of service to her people at extreme personal risk is particularly distasteful. It is no wonder the Tribal leaders are deaf to you and those like you. You spit on a thousand years of tradition, "fancy ceremony" and the greatest victory the Matari people have won since they won their freedom just to imply justification for your vendetta against the San Matar.
For the rest of the future of the Republic its people will remember the re-unification of the Tribes, the Chiefs and San Matar who proved to the entire cluster that you cannot wipe out the Matari.
What will they remember about you? Your long record of service in combat and to your people or your aged and delusional ramblings?

Aged? I am hardly forty in conventional reckoning, barely old enough to count as a wise adult where I come from. I hope I have a long time till senility.
Dissolving of the parliament would have lead to a free re-election of the parliament in two months, had the events proceeded on the legal course. Instead, what we got was a charade of an election for Prime Minister, with one candidate. Yea, my assertion is that this did not exactly go as it should have.
And yes, it is interesting that "Chiefs rule" should convince us this is a free tribal republic when, as you point out, all those Chiefs are now pretty much hand-picked by the blind man on the top.

None of them were picked by Shakor and I never implied they were. They were chosen by their people. Something that seems to confound you about how the SanMatar was chosen as well. Perhaps you forgot already the celebration all across the Republic the day he was named. Perhaps you forget that this is the Republic we are speaking of and not a Federation or a State.
Perhaps you forget that a planet of Matari people had been taken over by the Angel Cartel and your would be martyr did nothing. Perhaps you forget that the Starkmanir would not exist had two months passed. Perhaps you forget how much worse it was in the old Republic, corrupt and weak and ineffectual.
It is your conspiracy theory that is aged, I said nothing about how long you have been alive. What I did say was how pathetic and insulting it was to throw away the work the Chiefs have done to earn their title. To imply they were picked by the San Matar and not chosen for their people they sweat and bled for.
You have no respect at all for anything but your own narrow view of a wronged Sebiestor supremacy. You would return to unequal and broken Tribes, a corrupt and weak government, just to spite a single man who re-united the Tribes.
If Shakor had been the minister who dissolved parliament and Midular the one to re-unite the Tribes I am sure you would be singing a far different song. |

Perhaps your words would have more effect if you did not just mindlessly parrot the official propaganda.
How conveniently you forget that it was Midular's government who started the negotiations with the Nefantar; how conveniently you forget it was not the Sanmatar but the so-called Elder Fleet who went for the Starkmanir. All he did for the unification was stand in the ceremonies that followed.
And what has he achieved since? Are the people still in Empire any freer? Are the local governments less corrupt?
And I'd stand with any leader of the Republic who came to their power by legal means. I am oath-sworn to do that. Tribe is irrelevant, there.

Now you are calling the scope propaganda? The very news sources you linked damn your point of view. Midular's government was not the one that started negotiations with the Nefantir, the Republic had been speaking with them from rebellion. Are you to credit her with that next? In one breath you blame Shakor alone for the Purge and deny him the credit for his involvement in the One Day War. Which is it Elsebeth, was he complicit in it or was he not? Was he working with the Elders and them for him or was he not? Make up your mind.
Since he has become SanMatar the Tribes have been united, we have a new government. Or did he not propose all of that years ago now too? Your memory seems highly selective so I cannot be sure what your version of history will produce. Crime has reduced drastically, the fleet is more modern, social programs are more robust and widespread, infrastructure in the Republic is ubiquitously better, corruption is universally down after the purge... All of this can be accredited to the New Tribal Order. The one Shakor pushed from the day he became SanMatar. But I suppose he also does not rule the Empire with the power to free all the slaves so he falls short in your eyes?
The Tribes are now equal members in the government written by them and it is thanks to the Chiefs and the Sanmatar.
Midular had a hand in it before she was killed in the Federation if you remember. She supported Shakor as SanMatar and in creating the New Tribal Order as did the other Chiefs. The whole Republic supported him and named him SanMatar following the legal process of the time and only you and handful of Sebiestor Supremacists still contest that.
Seven Tribes and Seven Chiefs recognize him as the SanMatar, Including your own Chief. Kin of the Ray Of Matar you claim he had killed to fill some purpose you have yet to actually define. And you believe she is blind and stupid unaware of your vast conspiracy? Or are you simply not thinking of the universal and ubiquitous support the SanMatar has from the Chiefs, the ones who rule the Republic. You call dissolving a government that disagrees with you "legal" but call an election with the support of the Chiefs and the people "illegal?"
Your Chief, all the Seven Tribes, trillions of Matari, CONCORD, The Empire, The Federation, and the State al recognize him as legal and rightful SanMatar. Time to look to your Chief and follow your Oath. Abandon these idiotic conspiracies and accept them as misplaced emotion from your grief over the death of the Ray Of Matar. For your sake. |

It did not take long for this to devolve into the "who has free'd more slaves" part of the argument. It is almost tradition at this point to compare factional warfare service records once an argument has been lost, I just expected it from a factional warfare pilot.
I of course defer to you, having made a full and objective accounting of Elsebeth's entire lifetime of service as well as mine and not just reading an alliance ticker and making an assumption. Since you did not just read my alliance ticker and instead read what I said I have no need to remind you:
Ayallah wrote:What will they remember about you? Your long record of service in combat and to your people or your aged and delusional ramblings?
Now tell me where I live Nick. Then tell me how that effects the truth of what I have said.
Or is this thread now "who freed more slaves and killed Nauplius more times?" If so then I am more than happy to leave it to Diana Kim and the others who typically come out of the woodwork by now.

I call dissolving the parliament legal, because there was - is - a law in the Republic that allowed for it, and a law that defined what happens after that. I call murdering members of the Parliament illegal - I am sure I do not have to explain that one. I call an election with just one contestant so soon after these events (the murders, the dissolution attempt) completely bogus. The idea that suddenly after the previously very conflicted tribal leaders suddenly "universally loved" Shakor is even more bogus (unless you, of course, assume that all those who did not conveniently died in the Parliament Massacre).
I do not know what passed between Midular and Shakor in the cabinets before that election. But I am absolutely certain something more than "oh brother, I just realized what a magnificent man you are, so you can have the throne" did.
I don't blame Shakor for not having won a war against the Empire, mind you. I think the toy war is an excellent idea and simply brilliant way to prevent an escalation we still cannot afford. I just wonder about how fast everyone calling for the immediate liberation of all slaves has forgotten about that call as soon as they got their man appointed as 'Sanmatar'.

Elsebeth Rhiannon wrote:proper trials before they execute anyone as a traitor.
Here's the thing.
Hundreds of people were executed by a huge organisation of unknown agents, for apparently being traitors, paid by the Amarr secret service.
Seemingly, evidence of them being paid by the Amarr secret service was left at the scene of each murder.
So. Some organisation exists, with knowledge of who the Amarr secret services were paying off. And they knew where those people would be. And they just waltzed in and murdered them, and left the evidence, and waltzed right back out.
Now then... which agency is it, that has the absolute best evidence of who is in the pay of the Amarr secret service ?
Is it the RSS ? The FIO ?
No.
Turns out, unsurprisingly, that the agency that knows best who is being paid by the Amarr secret service, is in fact, the Amarr secret service.
So, it never crossed anyone's mind, that perhaps this might be some kind of cover-up by the Amarr secret service ?
That upon the news of the Elder invasion, the Amarr secret service ordered their handlers in Minmatar space to "Execute Plan B", to terminate the existing informants, so that they could be replaced by new, less obvious ones, because the existing ones would face far too much scrutiny as the Republic prepared for an Imperial counter-attack ?
No. Clearly that is a conspiracy theory.
Everything is fine. The Elders protect. Trust in the Elders. Obey the Elders. Do not question the Elders. Comply. Obey. Accept.
And then Shakor becomes the head of state for the Republic. A man who by his own admission, was abducted by Jovians and came back a changed person.
Obey. Accept. Comply.
Amarr. Ammatars. Gallente. Jovians. Elders. Angel Cartel. Is there no end to the number of of groups that seek to shape the Minmatar people into what they wish them to be ? Must we be forever nothing more than a pawn in someone else's game ? |

As for weak harping and idiotic conspiracy involving the Purge. Show me a single shred of evidence that anyone killed that day was done so wrongly. That they were not weakening the Republic with their vampiric drain of resources and information to the Empire, the Federation, or the Cartel. They were corrupt and all deserved what they got. Show me any evidence an innocent man or woman was left cooling with a datapad of manufactured crimes.
That is Tribal justice and you are all right to fear it just as those who would be corrupt today fear it. If you want trials and law advocates who can weasel the guilty free then go to the Federation.
Aldrith Shutaq wrote:Karin Midular was a wise and prudent leader. If only her people had appreciated her more when she was alive. My condolences.
She was also weak and unpopular, frequently going against the wishes of her people. It was the love the Matari had for their Ray of Matar that strung the Republic out to its state before the One Day War. Had she not been Ray of Matar then her reputation as a peacemaker would have never been repeated. That same love is what bore the massacre of Colelie.
So perhaps things would have been less ugly had she been less beloved in her time. |

A corpse cannot tell if the man who made it had god on his side or not. Murder can be just and legal executions can be wrong but death comes the same for both. Murders can have the protection of the law and can be the sole justice in a corrupt system, outlaw.
And I have never met a body that knew the difference.
Justice was done on behalf of the Tribes by members of the Tribes. Three years of long and expensive trials would the end result be different? I'll let those with nothing better to do play with the hypotheticals. |

Quote:That is Tribal justice It is not tribal to kill a person, and then accuse him of something, and if someone objects, ask them for proof that he was innocent and did not need to be killed. That is like an Amarrian way to treat slaves, not the way civilized people treat their kin. Tribal justice would be to give your kin the benefit of doubt until they are proven guilty, to let their clan speak for and with them before the sentence, and to let them handle carrying it out if that is their custom.
I was a member of the Tribes last I checked, and those murders were certainly not done in my name.
Of course, this is an era where all sorts of barbaric superstitions are celebrated as "tribal revival", and "Tribal" has started to mean "agreeing with The Leader". So figures.

Something took our government, for sure, in one night of rebellion. Something that thinks that a stronger person who can present words in their favor should have the right to kill a wrongdoer without their clan having the chance to present evidence in the contrary.
So be it; I will go back to my silence.

The Tribes have not asked for justice, they received it years ago. YOU are asking for trials which are not the same as justice, they are simply a process of bureaucracy in service of justice. Police forces kill people before a trial often, the work of bureaucracy is done after the fact just as it was done during the Purge. Stop pretending that you seek justice for those killed, justice was given. For the Matari.
All you care about is using the Purge to justify your conspiracies about the SanMatar. You care nothing for any of those killed in the Purge and I doubt you could even name one. I doubt that you even think anyone died who should not have.
Sometimes, there is not the luxury of a long bureaucratic process before someone needs to be shot Elsebeth. Perhaps you have been too long removed from the reality of nature that civilization covers up to remember. I am not, I recognize the bureaucratic process for what it is, a luxury of checks and balances. Not justice itself.
Quote: GÇ£Justice was served. No punishment can truly fit the crime committed; we dispensed the most fitting justice possible." Does this phrase seem wrong to you, not a part of Tribal Justice? Because it comes from the mouth of your own Tribe concerning the execution of Broteau. You are like the Gallente, crying out that justice was too swift for comfort and some things you think should have been done were not.
Quote:The swiftness of the trial and particularly the execution is unusual inside the Republic, leading some commentators to criticize their actions. The Sebiestor Tribe has released a short statement saying, GÇ£Justice was served. No punishment can truly fit the crime committed; we dispensed the most fitting justice possible.GÇ¥ The words of your own Tribe. A trial thought by many to be "unjust" Yet you do not complain about this as 'a trial was held' and served YOUR goals, you have yet to complain was too swift. You seek only to paint a picture that the SanMatar came to power illegitimately, is a dictator who installed puppet Chieftains and then had the Ray of Matar killed. You believe your own Tribe are somehow blind to this and are covering it up? That it did not come out during Broteau's trial either in the Federation or before your own Tribe's leaders? This is your actual true belief?
You insult all the Tribes with your suggestions of puppet chiefs, your own Tribe you claim is blind and dumb to not have discovered this before, and you spit on the legacy of the SanMatar who reunited the Tribes and made them equal with your foolish conspiracies. All because you feel that Midular should have remained Prime Minister. Even at the cost of losing forever a Tribe, condemning the Republic to a corrupt, weak, ineffectual, and unpopular government. Even at the cost of the New Tribal Order.
For the sake of your comfort.

It's not just that. It's not just the idea of having some form of legal process (a crime occurs, you talk to the holder of the Laws, who'll listen to the evidence, and decide what if any action should be taken).
In order for this "Purge" to be true then, the following have to be true:
1. That one foreign agency controlled a significant amount of Minmatar politicians.
2. That a second foreign agency, whose identity and agenda are unknown, was able to conduct the operation.
3. That the RSS and local police forces were so incompetent that they didn't know about points 1 and 2.
So. If point 1 is true, then, you have to question things.
If we are to believe point 1, then, you have to ask these questions:
A. Given that the Amarr secret service effectively controlled the Republic... why did the Republic even exist ? Why hadn't the Amarr conquered it long before now ? Surely that would have been simple ?
B. Given the alleged supremacy of Amarr-controlled politicians... How did Chief Karin Midular, or Maleatu Shakor, ever attain political office in the first place ? Instead of being sidelined or eliminated long before establishing a political career ?
If point 2 is true, then you also have to question things.
C. Given that the real identity and real agenda of those agents was and is unknown, then, you must ask. In whose name did they commit these actions ? By what right do they exercise that power ?
D. The existence of an outside foreign agency, that claims the right to intervene in Minmatar affairs, is by its very existence, a threat to the self-determination of the Minmatar peoples. As long as such an organisation exists, cloaked in shadow, then is it not the case that the Tribes are not allowed to determine their own affairs ? Is it not the case that our Clan and Tribe leaders are threatened with murder, should they not conform to this foreign agency's agenda ?
If point 3 is true, then you also must ask.
E. Given this level of incompetence amongst the security forces who are supposed to protect the people, can they be trusted to protect the people against other threats ? Such as the Angel Cartel ?
F. Have the RSS and local police forces magically become more competent since ?
And, if it was all true, then, it means that the systems of government couldn't be trusted in the past.
So, we should not trust them in future, should we ? We should not allow them to act without questioning every action, and demanding a satisfactory explanation, should we ? |

Taking Caldari bribes, feeding intelligence to the Empire, favoring Gallente businesses, letting Cartel agents go, letting Serpentis drugs through the border. etc. etc. It was not one singular entity, this is a child's understanding of one of the most significant events in Republic history.
The Elders and the Elder fleet with the help of the Tribes. A child would know this.
They did know and many were working to end corruption, they were a large part of the investigations into the people removed in the purge. Some were also those who were found to be corrupt. |

I am sure there was a lot unmentioned. It could be a combination of many as well. A cartel member who is an informant to the Amarr secret service and things like that. You would have to look up the individuals to find the specific reasons.

The new Chief of the Sebiestor Tribe gained the most. She is now the sole leader of trillions, one of the largest or the largest ethnic group in New Eden, I forget. It was also the Sebiestor Tribe who prosecuted Broteau and passed judgment on him.
But this idea is only slightly less stupid than "The SanMatar did it because of the purge." |

If you believe the timbers are rotten, set your own house in order as much as you like. I wish you the best of luck in that endeavour.
But don't dare come crying to the Federation about our misdeeds. You lost any right to do that the moment you and yours murdered tens of thousands of Federal Navymen - and still, even after you stabbed us in the back after a century of our friendship and generosity, we, naive fools that we are, gave you what you wanted anyway. We handed Broteau over, and then you executed him. You, not us.
I'll be the last one to speak in that slimebag Mentas Blaque's defence, but why should he suffer any charge at the hands of Minmatar prosecutors when the admirals and captains who incursed our territory and slaughtered our border defence forces go free?

It is a little difficult to keep track of which shrill Sebbie led a fleet to invade the Federation and murder a bunch of Gallente (hi, Diana!) so that she could murder the murderer; which shrill Sebbie called Midular an unspeakable traitor before she became a convenient excuse to go blow up some blue capitals; which shrill Sebbie pulled the imbecilic notion of "blood jurisdiction" out her ass in order to justify the above and... was it all the same ******* idiot?

For my part, I will say only that Karin Midular's loss was a tragedy, and what followed was a tragedy also. Her memory is honored not only by her Matari kin, but also among all those in the Federation who love liberty. |

Mentas Blaque is the Federation's problem. Leave him out of Tribal matters. Decrying Federation 'meddling' in Tribal justice and then trying to meddle with the Federation's problems without their express invitation is hypocrisy.

More Matari died that day than Gallente. I am not trying to make it seem as if you should not be angry but you are letting the words of an individual get to you.
For most Matari that was a black day of loss and shame. Just because a few people do not know when to shut their mouth does not mean that the people of the Republic do not recognize Colelie for what it was. It is not something that will happen again. |

Colelie is a clusterfrak that shouldn't have happened. None of us should allow fiery passions overwhelm good sense and none of us should be using 'For the Tribe' as a cudgel to get what we want, everyone else be damned.

Colelie was destined to happen. It is a logical conclusion of collision between self-righteous occupationist dominating regime built on lies (who thinks that only their way of life should exist) with primitive aggressive savages like minmatars.
