Rodj Blake
PIE Inc. Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris
|
Posted - 2008.06.08 21:59:00 -
[1]
Earlier this evening I led a fleet into Pator and delivered the following message:
A little over two years ago, shortly after the death of Jamir Torash, I delivered a message to the leadership of the Minmatar nation and their people.
I asked their government to take action against terrorists operating from within Minmatar territory - to cast out the viper within their midst.
I told them that their time was running out.
Since then, the situation has deteriorated.
Groups such as the Wolves of Pator and the Electus Matari have raided Amarrian space to steal Amarrian property.
An entire Minmatar battle-fleet has decided to attack Imperial installations within the Bleak Lands.
Unknown raiders have been attacking Amarrian shipping within Minmatar-controlled space
And most recently, we have seen a fleet of ships bearing Republic Fleet insignia threaten the peace in Yulai.
The Minamtar government's response to the events has been weak and ineffectual.
The conclusion must be that they have either been secretly backing the criminal elements in their territory, or that they are incompetent.
We Amarrians are a peaceful people and we are also patient. We have no desire for war. Members of PIE have come here this evening bearing copies of the Pax Amarria so that you may understand this.
However, we cannot stand by while Minmatar-occupied space is used as a base from which to attack our Empire.
Therefore, I must repeat my message to the Minmatar leadership.
It is time to decide whether you support the rule of law or lawlessness. I urge you to take action against the criminals who infest Republic space. In the interests of peace, destroy those who seek to cause conflict between the Empire and the Republic.
Given the choice, we Amarrians will choose peace over war. It is now up to you to decide whether you want war or peace.
The choice is yours.
Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

One wonders why you choose to address the Republic government precisely when there isn't one?
We're busy preparing for elections right now. Make your silly threats after we're done, thanks. You do, I assume, not want to have to repeat yourself too often? Or least not much more than usual?

After Admiral Blake's fine words, I was given the honour of passing on a message from the Vigilia Valeria to the Matari people. I can only pray that a few will heed my words.
People of Matar: Your government is in disarray. Your would-be protectors, the Electus Matari, are powerless as they bicker and squabble amongst themselves. Ushra'Khan causes you much heartache and damage, as they wage their futile war against both Empire and Republic. Your so-called Fleet rampages violently, without the control of its commanders. The Defiants seek to prey on an honest person! You are are beset by evil on all sides.
There is but one ray of hope to you - the Empire, and all that it offers. Freedom - Freedom like you have never known it! True Freedom of the soul! True Freedom to live, and not be subject to depravations of those who assault you whilst claiming to act for you! True Freedom to have hope, to live a worthy life, to strive towards greatness! For every act that you do under the Empire furthers the Empire! And is the Empire not great and magnificent, as He intended? Are not His people at this moment the most placid and calmed in the cluster? Whilst the Federation girds itself for violence in its lustful decadence, whilst your Republic tears itself apart and your would-be protectors prey upon you - the Empire awaits you with open arms! Repent! Repent to the Lord God and His Immaculate Empire! I beseech you - save yourselves, and follow the light to His path and His Glory. Throw off the shackles of the Republic; Throw off the shackles of the Ushra Khan terrorists; Throw off the shackles of the Electus Matari privateers; Throw off the shackles of your barbaric tribalism! Embrace God! You all claim to strive for freedom - only He can offer it. Only He can offer your salvation, and, most importantly, only He can offer you your peace. The Empire is ready to accept you, people of Matar. Come into the Light,and be Blessed. ____________________

Originally by: Haverloth People of Matar: Your government is in disarray.
As EM and many others have pointed out - repeatedly really quite patiently given the circumstances - it was time for a change, so we're going about it in the legally mandated manner.
As for the wonders of your own totally-not-in-disarray-at all Empire, I'd like to hear more from the Emperor on these matters.

And what embrace slavery? Embrace Vi-toxin and Vi-Tox? Become no longer mmasters of their own destiny? Throw away all their culture and belief? To just cast aside their Ancestor's? To take in the Deity of another Culture even if they don't wish to?
And sorry but Amarr has proven like most Races to be any thing but peace loving, true there are exceptions to this But P.I.E and VV as well as C.V.A are not amongst them.

Edited by: Vladimir Titov on 08/06/2008 22:41:36 I am certain that war can be averted if the Amarrians immediately outlaw slavery, free all slaves and hand over the Nefantar to face Tribal Justice.
The solution to this problem has always been with the Amarr.
Reparations for atrocities commited by the Ammar would probably be welcome as well.

But you see, your logic does not imply that their words would still be right. What morality lies in preaching false words to gain 'attention'?

You may well pray to your long dead god for I and my compatriots return.
Once more you will be able to weep and wail and gnash your teeth and call me "terrorist" as I raise my guns against your kindred. Once again those ships will burn with more than just religious zeal.

Rodj, you speak as though the Amarr Empire is a victim. There is but one victim in all of this and those are the unfreed masses of Minmatar that your people hold in bondage. Until this grievance is addressed there shall be only one path. The path my Brutor kinsmen have always known to be the way this would be resolved. The path to war! These acts you label "terrorism" will in time be seen as a golden age for the Amarrians once you have felt the full force of a united Minmatar Republic under Brutor leadership.

I have known well of this religion. I was in Amarrian space with my love, my slave love ... but I learned there that this is nothing more than a scripturlally-supported Junta.
Monsieur Blake's words are nothing more than the typical poison that comes from even the most secularist-wing of the theocracy that is Ammaria.
It is oppressive.
It is intolerant.
It is slaveholding.
It must fall. It must fall for the advancement of humanity, for the betterment of all races, and last but not least, for the freedom of the enslaved Matari.
It must, and it will, fall. ---------------------------

Edited by: Lyra Garris on 09/06/2008 06:02:53 How predictably boring, a bunch of insults and threats from the Minmatar camp. You know, the Empire always takes a lot of flak for calling the Matari a bunch of violent petty-minded tribals, but judging by the way they tend to act, on GalNet and otherwise, it's starting to look pretty justified, even to a liberal like me...

Rodj, let me issue a counter ultimatum:
Back off, or I'm going to come after your family. Not you - your family. I'm going to find your parents, and any relatives you might have, and any children you might have, and I'm going to kill them. I'm going to kill your family stone dead if you don't renounce slavery.
I will do it, I swear to you. -----

Minmatar, Matari, sisters and brothers from the Brutor Tribe!
Do not listen to the words of these Amarr anymore! They talk with the tongue of a snake and their actions are precisely as controversial as ugly.
Do the Amarr remember the day of darkness? Do they remember what they did to our kin? Yes, but they ignore the pain, the destruction and the death that they caused. To them, everything that just serves their perverted needs is justified by a nothing less perverted god and a culture which forces the black side of a sick law to everyone else but them.
This is not only perverted, it is disgusting. Yes Amarrians, you disgust me. You are to blame for the "terrorist" attacks against you because you started all of this in the first place by taking lives, by taking freedom, by taking everything away from us and there is no way you will have the peace you desire - do you know why?
Because the peace you desire is as perverted as your general view on life beyond Amarrian borders. What's in your mind is nothing less than enslaving everybody you can from the Minmatar race in order to have an even more easy, wealthy and profitable life.
But as long as you think like this, the fighting will never stop. We are far from being barbarians as you too much enjoy to call us.
Minmatar of all tribes, do not listen to the snakes, there is no way they will leave you alone in peace! They will return as soon as you lower your guard and simply enslave you!

That sounds like a plee for mercy from a scared and desparate man. How will you ever find the courage to face his family when you've barely shown the coverage to face him in space. Then again terrorists always do go for the innocent rather than the responsible.

I find it impolite not to react to your message, because there is much to discuss, Admiral Blake; however, it is inappropriate for me to speak on this issue at this time.
The answers to your questions will be given by the Tribes and the Republic.

I don't feel we have been the least bit ambiguous about our very reasonable terms for peace. You know how to secure peace with us; if your plea for peace is anything more than the usual empty words of a slaver, then it's up to you to make it happen.
Until then, we come for our people.

I think we can safely say that the minmatar response is largely:
- Amarrians want peace?! - Amarrians don't have rogue naval units of their own and an inability to control their own empire?! - Did you really say you want peace and if we have a war its all on us?!!!
It seems you've forgotten the tiny issue of having over a third of the Minmatar people still enslaved and how that might possibly mean that we come to this with an ever so slightly different view point.
As for those pointing to that coward Filmir's words. He may once have been a great military leader but when he tied himself to the appeasement politics of Midular and stood there and murdered his own former brother in arms.... Anyone with a military background knows that was not the actions of a great leader.
One final time, Amarrians are a peaceful people?!!! Day of Darkness ring a bell? Drug induced slavery where failure to recieve the control substance leads to an agonising death? Definitely a peaceful nation you have there.

While I do not plan to repeat this argument once more, please do not put words into the mouths of others. A lot of people with military background, both in the Fleet and outside, still consider Filmir a great leader, and consider his final deed and sacrifice as proof of that.
That said,
Originally by: Sapphrine One final time, Amarrians are a peaceful people?!!!
It sounds indeed unbelievable that they would claim something like that and expect us to believe. The thing you need to realize to make that make sense is that Blake's propaganda here is not aimed at the Minmatar, it is aimed at his own people.
Many Amarr leaders, quite obviously, are planning to exploit the current turmoil of the universe to finish off the Rebellion and to 'reclaim' the free tribes. For this to be efficient, they need the support of their own nation. For this to be efficient, they need to convince their nation that we are the aggressors, and that their fight is justified.

Oddly slave transports have been attacked inside Amarr space and Rodj didn't feel the need to do anything. Perhaps the rumors that the traitors are not just in the 7th Fleet are true?

Originally by: Gaius Kador Trust a paranoid matari degenerate to believe our message was really about reclaiming the remaining free livestock of the Republic.
I think you mean "people".
Here's a reference-
Livestock: four legs, woolly, non-sentient, eat grass, go "baa". Humans: two legs, clothed, opposable thumbs, sentient, able to speak.
Try not to get the two confused, Gaius. Though I suppose that if I had spent my entire life preaching to the faithful, I might have trouble telling men from sheep too... -

Originally by: Gaius Kador In all my time serving the Empire, PIE Inc has only once engaged in offensive operations not related to the defense of Amarr.
Apart from their illegal and unprovoked aggression on Electus Matari, which I suppose we can with good-will assume is an honest misunderstanding, this is indeed true about PIE Inc so far.
However, it is not the truth of neither the Amarr people in general nor the Amarr Empire, and neither do I see anything in the current campaigning by PIE Inc that would suggest we can be confident it holds in the future.
The Emperor leads, we follow. That is a universal Truth beyond discussion.
Both Heideran VII and Doriam II preached the Pax Amarr. This is still the current policy of the Empire, and by extension PIE Inc as shown by our actions in Pator last night.
If you hear the drums of war, look to your own. Do not degrade yourself further with paranoid and delusional tales of Amarr aggression where there is none. ----------------------------------------------
