My fellow Caldari, brothers and sisters, for too long our people have been used, abused, and thrown away like trash by the elites in our society. Our people did not risk their lives, and our homeworld, only to have our people abused by the leaders who we are told to trust without question. Those who were once noble and knew smart, strong business, have become corrupt, they will sacrifice their faithful workers, simply to make more wealth for themselves. If business is slow, they take it out on workers, cutting pay, benefits, and even safety.
Not every Caldari is able to experience the freedom of a pod-pilotÆs license, nor would any reasonable man expect everyone to have such training and technology. People of all professions and standings make up our State, and it is through the selfless sacrifice of our ancestors that our people stand strong today.
And yet, that is abused. It is seen as a resource to be exploited by the Megacorporations. Those of us who will never have the freedom of space, should not be condemned to be tools of a select few who cannot appreciate our people, and hasten our destruction simply because it is the most profitable course. We Caldari have no equal in the business world, our lives are not ones meant to be lavish and relaxed. We work hard for the State, for its people, for ourselves. It is this dedication that makes us strong. It is what is exploited now.
The countless voices of the oppressed and abused are gathering, we shall stand united, and be heard throughout the stars. We are Caldari, we give everything we have so that our people may be stronger, we can no longer tolerate the abuse which weakens us and will destroy us.
We shall gather at New Caldari on 05.12 at 1800. Those who have corrupted our State must answer to the countless people they have wronged.

How ironic that the supposed reasons that the Caldari decided to wage a bloody revolution from the Federation all those years ago - oppression, totalitarianism and a police state - have found their embodiment in the Caldari State of today.
I can only guess that that those Caldari at the time were so caught up in their fervent nationalism that they never saw the manipulating fingers of the Megacorporations who would have loved nothing more than to operate outside of a Federation and its laws so they may pursue their wanton lust for the almighty ISK free from such concepts as, "ethics" and "morality".

If there is any "wanton lust for the almighty ISK" within the Caldari state it's been implanted by the Gallente, which is the only recognised state in this galaxy that truly personifies greed and hedonism at the expense of the greater good.
The focus of the Caldari state and its ethics has always been the wellbeing of the corperation. Not Profit, but the wellbeing and success of the corperation and its employees, and by extension the wellbeing and success of all Caldari citizens.
From my travels within the Caldari state I can with some certainty say that overall this ethical framework holds true, but it's slowly but surely being undermined.

Know that if you were worth the ammunition, which you are not, the State could annihilate your uprising in the blink of an eye. As it is, you're not even a blip on their radar. And by the morrow after your rally, you won't even be a blurb in the back pages of the morning paper. There isn't a section dedicated to clowns.
Talk of ancestors? Laughable. The war with the Gallente ended just a hundred years ago. Our secession from the Federation began just a hundred years before that. You make us sound like a doddering old empire, decrepit, stagnate and molding from disrepair. Please. You make a poor comedian.
You can't concoct some past mythical golden age just to contrast it with your phantom grievances for the present.
We are the wealthiest and most advanced nation amongst the four powers.
We did not inherit this from yesteryear. We made it what it is today.

If you are itching to protect those looking to reform their governments through populist, grassroots movements, the Federation is better place to call home. That is not how we effect change in the State. Those who want the power to shape their environment must sit at the top.
Climb your way there.

History reveals that the deal makers and deal breakers were the elites, the heads of prominent corporations. They were the ones who ultimately decided and guided the fate of the Caldari people.

And they only managed to set off a chain of events toward an end that the mega-corporations wanted anyway.
The elite had already constructed a de facto State outside of the reach of the Federation. The question that was left to be answered was whether its official establishment would be a peaceful or a bloody one. I do not mean to diminish the strong nationalistic sentiments of the era, nor suggest that people did not feel a stake in the goings on of those times.
But I do deny the notion that this was an anomalous moment in Caldari history. No, it was business as usual. The corporate system gave purpose, structure and satisfaction to our lives and in return, we obeyed it. Hand in hand, we had begun building the foundations of the State some 300 years before the Federation was even formed. And when that work was threatened, we banded together and trounced those who were in our way.
That's all there is to it.
It was no great moment of humanist revelation or populist upswell.
It was just the corporate system at work.

An interesting justification. Considering your organization is defending the Amarr Empire from the Star Fraction as opposed to taking care of this situation back in Caldari Space.

What a lovingly clumsy attempt at spin. The Reserve is a paramilitary corporation, not a judicial one -- as such, taking care of "this situation" has nothing to do with our charter. It's not really surprising that you think the solution to everything is military force though, as you and your insane mistress seem to think everyone should be forced to fight to the death in order to get anywhere in society. Thankfully, those of us living in more enlightened societies -- which is, of course, every single major star nation -- have a somewhat different view.
As far as what we're doing in Amarr space, our goals have been quite clear from the beginning -- the Star Fraction has previously attacked our corporation and represents a direct threat to pod pilot paramilitaries from all nations, and therefore we have chosen to oppose them at this time in order to take best advantage of the strategic situation. There is no need for us to justify our actions to you of all people. If another matter developed in the State we needed to take care of, we would certainly do so.

What situation? A handful of lunatics jabbering on a soapbox hardly constitutes a situation.
Really, your puerile line of reasoning should have died on the school yard. Though, for some people, their minds did not leave the cradle when their bodies left for pods. There is nothing sequitur from my exposition on Caldari history to the criticism that I am operating in concert with loyalists from my own nation's ally.
It is all too transparent you took the chance to jab for the sake of jabbing.
Good luck to you on landing one that actually makes sense, substantively.

It's rather disappointing that I'm constantly accused of spreading "baseless anti-Amarrian propaganda" in various threads on GalNet, yet when I log on and see someone voicing an opinion on the Caldari State, Amarrians and Amarrian-loyal lapdogs start jumping all over it, spreading rhetoric and entirely irrelevant anti-Gallente propaganda. Oh, and there's CAIN, the supposedly Caldari-loyal paramilitary that's currently working for the Amarrian Empire, the people who intend to "reclaim" the Caldari.

Really Ixiris, if you wish to try to bash CAIN, at least know your facts. Though even if you do, I doubt you'll succeed, but you just might end up like looking less of a fool.
As for the developments in New Caldari today, a true tragedy for the lives lost. I hope those responsible will be tracked down and punished.

The events of yesterday were extremely regrettable; it is never a good thing when that many lives are lost, regardless of the reason. At this time, we are investigating the actions taken by Reserve officers yesterday to determine whether or not their response was appropriate, and whether any disciplinary action should be taken. Obviously, I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation, but I will say that we are taking this very seriously and that our ultimate goal is for the facts of the case to be firmly established. This matter has assumed highest priority for Reserve personnel and we intend to make sure this matter is resolved within a matter of days.
However, I must restate that these kinds of incitements to riot, demonstrated by the Brothers of Freedom yesterday, that create the atmosphere that caused yesterday's unfortunate incident. If they had done as numerous other people have suggested, and brought their accusations to the Tribunal, allowing the proper authorities to investigate the matter, none of this would have happened. I must once again implore these people to follow proper channels. If their allegations are true, they need to be addressed -- if they do not have any proof, then they need to stop this rumormongering.
Any further questions about Reserve involvement yesterday may be directed to me.

The facts are already firmly established. I witnessed the destruction of that Charon and CAIN pilots killed thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of peaceful activists. Not all have been clamoring for armed rebellion, in fact most did not until that transport blew up. As this investigation is clearly PR spin, I doubt you'll make amends, either.
I'll remember this incident the next time you call me out on being an evil Gurista sympathizer, Ms. Scarlet. Shades of grey, it would seem.

It isn't ironic in the least. The entire reason for the Caldari/Gallente war was because the Caldari megacorporation leaders wanted to be able to practice their oppression, totalitarianism, and fascist police state actions without interference.
It's just sad that the Caldari people actually believed (and the vast majority continue to believe) the lies they were fed on the entire issue.

You'll notice that at no point did I deny that Reserve pilots took part in the destruction of the freighter. The more important facts are the whys and hows involved here. While I expect you and others who think little of us to assume that this is all a crass PR stunt, I can only reiterate that we are taking this matter quite seriously and we have no intention of sweeping anything under the rug.

If the facts are to be coming from anywhere, I believe all the parties distressed by this incident would be more inclined to hear and believe them if they came from Melarius Torvil himself and the Brothers of Freedom, rather than the Reserve.
Unless Mr. Torvil was also one of the many who perished in the incident...? Hmm, a truly saddening thought.
In any case, I await a detailed response from the Brothers of Freedom in regard.

As my esteemed comrade, Jasmine, suggests, it would seem that CAIN have suckled overlong at the Amarrian teat if their pilots' reflex action when faced with a freighter packed with Caldari citizens who wish to bring grievances to the attention of the central authorities is to blast it out of space. I have no great use for Caldari law but it is in theory supposed to apply with equal force to all members of their society, from the mightiest megacorporations to the lowest wage-slave drudges. CAIN may hold as many boards of inquiry as they like but if they truly continue to respect the traditions and laws of their own people they will submit to investigation and trial by the properly constituted authorities.
Caldari who retain a sense of justice and faith in the traditions of their society might expect CAIN to suffer the appropriate sanction if their pilots are found guilty of criminal acts. Certainly, if the massacre of thousands of Caldari citizens, travelling in an unarmed vessel to petition the central authority of the State, is not found to be a heinous act meriting meaningful punishment we will fairly be able to conclude that those who control the State consider such an event to be in their interests. Some may still believe the Caldari State continues to represent all that is good and true in the Caldari character but I am not holding my breath in expectation of CAIN's exile from the State for the actions of its pilots.
Mind you... *chuckles* ...I'm not altogether sure how much of a punishment exile would be for CAIN given it currently operates as a foreign legion in the service of Amarrian interests in Domain and Providence.

CAIN has already called for an independent investigation by the Tribunal as well. Your cynicism does not do you service in this case.

* The Cosmopolite chuckles...
Ah, dear Svetlana, I can hardly deny that I am a cynic, a romantic cynic perhaps, but a cynic nonetheless.
Leaving that to one side, I would not automatically grant that the Caldari Business Tribunal is the appropriate authority to deal with this matter.
After all, what we have here is a case of pilots bearing the colours of an Amarrian loyalist paramilitary alliance shooting down a civilian freighter carrying citizens of the Caldari State to petition what passes for their government.
It seems to me that this has the makings of an international incident and that the Caldari Executive Panel might consider appointing a special investigator to address the serious issues raised by this disgraceful incident.

I am ultimately responsible for the actions of my officers, and I will deal with any indiscresions done on the behalf of interpetation of my orders during this incident.
Threats from outside forces do not do me, or my corporation any pause. The Standard that all CAIN officers must abide by since this corporation was formed will be applied and judged. If the State wishes otherwise, they can contact myself or any of the flag officers.
As far as anarchist ramblings, you are big believers in "right over might" and that everyone must fend for themselves without the trappings of governments. I find your discussions about current operations or actions laughable.

And in the event that your own investigation determines that your pilots are guilty of assisting in the murder of an untold number of Caldari citizens engaged in a peaceful protest (in other words, if they are guilty of committing an act of piracy in the heart of State territory), what sort of measures are you prepared to take in order to deal with the pilots involved? Nothing to match the scale of the crime, I'm sure.

IÆm sure you sympathy is deeply appreciated. Out of curiosity, how many innocent state citizens, hoping to feed their children a little better on crewmanÆs wages, have died under your guns? If those grandiose war diaries are to be believed, then the body count leans heavily in favor of you, oh defender of the proletariat.

I'd say the crews of combat ships in military organizations is a slightly different cup of tea than civilian protestors engaging in peaceful, unarmed protest. Perhaps you need to spend your time working with Hedion University a bit more wisely?

I am a Caldari Citizen through and through.
I have flown with pod pilots from all nations, while not enjoying the smell of the average gallentean who overadorns their body with chemical fragrances, I respect those that assist myself, my corp and does nothing to risk the state.
Only a few hours ago, I was in the public CAINCOM channel discussing how I could be of service to the State, within this alliance.
I have only read the statement published here http://cain.excidium.net/news.html?id=17 a few minutes ago after reading of the gravity of the situation. I have no other information regarding the cargo, destination or inhabitants of the vessel, however regardless of the outcome of the inquiry, I can not in good faith justify the destruction of an unarmed civilian transport, let alone a Caldari registered vessel.
The freedom of speech all Caldari born citizens enjoy should not be silenced in the vacuum of space.
I am at a loss to understand the actions or justifications of CAIN.
Two days left before the investigation is complete. Until then I must hold out hope that CAIN truly represents the majority Caldari view, or at the very least aren't murderous home grown terrorists.
Life is about memories the more the better.

Not surprising at all that this has happened. To those who seem to have Caldari blood flowing through their veins and claim to know the State: you don't know it enough.
If CAIN didn't destroy or forcefully detain those protesters, some other element of the State would have done it anyway. The State isn't the Gallente Federation where protesters, peaceful or no have any sort of rights whatsoever.
Those protesters could have been smarter if they wished to exile themselves like I did, and the many others who are my colleagues are. They paid the price for not using the substance that lies behind their eyes.

I don't think the average citizen could spare the change required to move out of the State, Davlos. There's little doubt in my mind that the people in that freighter were nowhere near as well off as you and I.
Even if they could emigrate, it would not solve the underlying problem.

It was a peaceful protest Davlos, the Brothers were fired upon first, and as far as I'm aware didn't return fire. If State forces had opened fire then they'd have been commiting crimes in accordance with our own law, and that of CONCORD.

The dissidents may stow away on a freighter for all they liked, but the least they could do was to not attract any sort of attention to them. The Brothers of Freedom did. That's where they failed to use their brains. Utter f*cking failures of State education.
On top of that... Dr. Salo. Do you remember Kassigainen? I don't believe there was any talk about 'rights' and 'regulations' when Kaalakiota security personnel stormed their own facilities to quell the riots.

Naphtalia and I have had quite a chuckle reading the follow up to what was supposed to be a peaceful demonstration.
It's amusing how a so called State Paramilitary organisation flies under the banner of the Amarr loyalists, working to assist the Empire in it's goals.
It's even more amusing that when there is trouble inside State borders, CAIN respond by returning to their "home" and butchering tens of thousands of their own citizens in the destruction of a peaceful demonstration.
Where were CAIN when the Kaalakiota mining facility on Kassigainen IV broke into dissent? Sat on the sidelines while APEX Unlimited took the initiative and Veto Corp assisted as hired guns by an undisclosed source to cull the armed incursion of Federation Forces into the Caldari Borderzone. Meanwhile Kaalakiota personnel attacked their own employees in an attempt to call and end to the rioting.
Where were CAIN when news of the mistreatment of hundreds of children of the State, your citizens, and the very future of the State itself was broken to the entire cluster by The Scope? CAIN were on GalNet of course, attempting to block any non-state aid into the affected areas, while the children remained malnourished and uncared for.
What kind of message about the weakness of the State's paramilitary bloc does it send to the future citizens you will serve when Gurista loyalist forces are the people feeding them and putting clothes on their backs?
How much aid did CAIN donate? Amusing that two pirate corporations who are apparent enemies of the state, clothed fed and provided for future citizens with the help of the Sister Of Eve, while CAIN sat back and watched, ignorant due to their blatent arrogance.
There are no whys, there are no buts and there are no hows. There are no excuses.
In recent months CAIN have failed to adequately assist the State at literally every curve, instead more recently running off to act as the lapdog and whipping boy for Imperial Loyalist forces in Providence.
"Caldari" and "Loyalist" does not come into the equation at any point. Claiming so is a poor attempt at comedy at best.
In the words of a friend, CAIN certainly do need to "Learn What It Means To Be Caldari"

Oh please, justifying massacre can never be done. There will always be differing views on what makes A TRUE caldari. I hope to never have to fire on defenceless inteligent creatures that only want a fair hearing.
While your Amarrian Masters tell you where to go and who to shoot, I too am telling the whole of CAIN and it's sickening attitude to life where to go.
I have no love for Slave traders, many Amarrian pod pilots do not own slaves, while they move them around and generally create the dependance I can not support anyone of any faction who rationalise slavery as a commercial venture.
It is the Governments that need to update their policy and CONCORD must bring tougher sanctions to the Empire, and the moraless pilots of all factions that tolerate this evil practice.

Your moralistic attitudes indicate that some other nation is better suited for you, Sidrat Flush. The State is not a place you where you can go around saying it "must" do this or that. Not as an average citizen. If you want to change the State, do it after you reach the top of the ladder.
For the moment, the Federation aligns more with your values. There, you can dictate to the government what they should or should not do. There, you can condemn what you consider the abhorrent practices of any race you so choose. There, you can decry the absence of free speech or peaceable assembly rights elsewhere.
But not here. Not unless you're at the top.

The State is not the people. The State is the will to whom all those people defer their individual autonomies in order to become and sustain a cohesive social construct. Boasting about how you circumvented the authorities to serve people, on matters the State had deemed settled or had reserved to settle themselves, shows how utterly bankrupt your comprehension of political bodies are--the State political body in particular.

I have put aside my reservations on this matter and will decide my future when the findings of this "incident" have been made public.
The State exists to serve the population. A State that no longer reflects the population is an easily led one and will not benefit the citizens it is there to protect and enhance.
While CAIN may be repaying a debt to a debtor, I urge you to strongly protest about the immoral act of slave holdings.

The silence of the news networks on this event is apalling. I find it shocking that I haven't heard of this earlier. Peaceful protesters attempting to reach out to their leaders to change the system, murdered by those who claim to protect them. It can not be put any other way than this. The megacorps and the state can not claim legitimacy when they do not represent the will of the people -- killing those who do not agree with the current order does not count.
I guess the Guristas are a bastion of morality compared to the State, now. At least they care for the individual and the disenfranchised.

Your ability for reading comprehension is a heinous insult to the education we all received in the State. CAIN are the ones who assist the Empire. I do not serve the State nor its interests any longer.
I have nothing to say about your fixation on morals and 'what is right', but it is quite clear that the State is not where you belong. My recommendation will be to move to the Gallente Federation.

Let me ask you this question citizen- Who brought you into the universe, fed you, clothed you and gave you a job once you were old enough to go your own way? It was whatever corporation was kind enough to bring you forth from the ‘tube’, that’s who. Don’t ever forget that you have protections that members of other Galactic nations such as the Gallente do not enjoy. The corporation which employs you gives you food, free medicare, protection from harm and numerous other benefits. Why don’t you just move to a different corporation from the one your currently in? At least being a citizen of the Caldari State allow’s you to do that.

And by the oppressed you mean the discontent, the underachievers, and of course, the traitors to their own kind who kneel to federation interests, like yourself.
You are willing to forget all that makes us what we are, and just go about crying for freedom. There is no sense in your words, just a mindless call to chaos.
