Malfeasance of Office is a High Crime
Gnilraps
Malfeasence has consequences
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
Bishop Desmond Tutu.
Anyone who thinks that it is acceptable for a government official to target an individual and his entire political party with unproven (and false) accusations, and a libelous smear campaign, all from the bully pulpit of a government office is complicit in the crime.
Martin Luther King Jr. said that, “a man dies when he does not stand up for that which is right.” He would also say, “The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.”
I invite any and all to argue against these ideals, because if they are wrong, then we all should remain silent, and I should retract the remainder of my article.
But if they are right - and they are - then not only am I obligated to publish this article, but there is an burden on all of you who read it to take action also.
Dominar Rygel II is guilty of malfeasance of office.
Dominar Rygel II is guilty of libel.
And Dominar Rygel II was enabled to do this by the current administration, whose terms in office have otherwise been quite good.
So it is my unfortunate position that I will oppose any future campaign for Country President by Chickensguys and/or anyone else who equips Dominar Rygel II with the formal power of an office that is supposed to be filled by a public servant. Dominar Rygel II is no public servant, he is a self-serving, partisan wonk with a vendetta against certain citizens - myself included - based on historical grudges.
I therefore provide the following justification for the claims I have made above.
Malfeasance of Office
There is only so much reaching into real life one can do in this game to make a point. So rather than quote some legal definition about malfeasance, I will instead appeal to common sense. The real life definitions certainly fit the bill, but since we lack a court system and any other means to “prove” malfeasance, our best bet is to simply seek agreement on the question.
Malfeasance is a word used to describe wrongful activity, especially by a person with authority. Let’s examine Dominar Rygel II’s activity as Homeland Security Czar (“DHS”).
The objective of DHS is to protect the sovereignty of the eUS Political system from any threat that would undermine its lawful course. (Note: DHS is not charged with upholding eRepublik Terms of Service, it is charged with protecting the Constitution and Code of the meta-eUSA.) The department was formed years ago so that the executive would have someone of an official capacity to coordinate actions against individuals and parties whose stated goals were in opposition to the policies set forth by both Congress and the Executive. There have been a few valid arguments against the very existence of this office, centered around the potential for abuse through over-politicization/partisanship. But in the end, the office has survived because when there is a legitimate threat to soveriegnty, DHS can be crucial.
Dominar Rygel II has provided us with a textbook case for what a Homeland Security Czar should not do. I happen to be the one in the crosshairs of this example, but I can hope that I would be publishing this same article if it were someone else.
The feud between Dominar Rygel II and myself probably goes back a decade. I say this because it is my belief that Dominar Rygel II is Ajay Bruno. My reasons for this conviction have to do with PM’s I have that were sent by Ronald Gipper Reagan and Dominar Rygel II. These PM’s contained such strange similitude that the likelihood of them coming from different pens is miniscule. It’s not technically enough to prove anything, but it was revelation enough. I am firmly convinced. I could actually say more to support my thesis, but that is not what this article is about.
Even if Dominar Rygel II is not Ajay Bruno, it is undeniable that he has identified me as his personal #1 enemy. He has targeted me in numerous articles, he shouts about me interminably, on multiple platforms, he has raised multiple pieces of legislation in effort to blacklist me, and he does not hide his destain.
Dominar Rygel II has utter contempt for Gnilraps.
Would anyone argue that point?
His DHS campaign against me, which has endured across multiple terms of office, would therefore need to be clearly justified in order to be deemed legitimate. If not justified, the logical conclusion is that it is a personal vendetta. And that, if true, is malfeasance of office.
So let me answer the question: Am I a threat to the soveriegnty of eUSA?
Hell no, I am not.
I have fully dedicated myself over a decade of ingame experience to the following:
Supporting eUSA militarily through my own damage and by helping as many other citizens as I can to increase their damage output for pro-eUSA causes.
Supporting the eUS Constitution as a multi-term Congressman, having myself authored much legislation throughout the years that is now part of the Constitution and Code, having served as Party President of The Federalist Party, The United States Workers Party, We The People (one of the parties I created), The Constitution Party, and The E Pluribus Unum Party. I have served as Country President multiple times, including twice during my detour as Krapis, I have published many tutorials to help new (and old) citizens improve their interaction with the game mechanics, I have served as Vice President, Secretary of State, National Security Counselor, Secretary of Media, Speaker of the House, and several other official posts, and I have done so with distinction and honor. I am currently ranked #3 in our nation’s list of “True Patriots”, according to Plato’s rankings. I have donated BILLIONS of my personal resources to other eUS Citizens, given THOUSANDS of hours to sending educational PM’s, and have put 100% of my effort into making eUSA the best it can possibly be in a game that is generally dominated by Balkan countries. I have done this because it’s fun, and because I am relentlessly competitive.
I don’t like to toot my own horn, but I think there’s good reason to say that I am a cultural, societal, military, and political asset to the eUSA.
I’m not claiming to be the greatest. I’m claiming to be useful.
And I am not a threat to eUSA.
What I am is a threat to those who seek to selfishly retain power for their personal agenda rather than the good of eUSA. I am a threat to Dominar Rygel II himself.
And because of that, he has weaponized his Office as Homeland Security Czar against me personally and my party generally.
His entire case against me is built on his proposed idea that I will use bots to displace one of the parties that is currently in the Top 5.
Let’s examine his case.
First of all, there is nothing inherently threatening to eUSA about displacing any of the parties in the current Top 5, unless the party that is displacing them is itself an anti-eUSA party intent on subverting the Constitution. The 506 is not. I invite you to peruse its membership. You will see more multi-term Presidents, Vice Presidents, MoFA’s, SoH’s, and so on. So unless Dominar Rygel II can make the case that everyone else in 506 has drunk some kind of anti-eUSA KoolAid, he has no case against The 506 as a legitimate player on the political spectrum. Go ahead, Dominar Rygel II, take on Deepchill’s reputation, Carlos3562’s reputation, Ubuntu21’s reputation, Trekker Tlumac’s reputation, Super Nova’s reputation, Ronald R.’s reputation, Aersidius’s reputation, and besmirch the brand new reputation of LoganBeary whose time in this game is only just beginning. I dare you.
Second of all, there is no evidence whatsoever that The 506 is populated by bots. None. Whatsoever. It would, in fact, be easier to argue that there are fewer bots in 506 than in any one of the Top 5 parties. But that’s not the point. The point is that The 506 is not being propped up by bots. So unless Dominar Rygel II can produce evidence of 506-run bots in 506, he has no case against 506 as a bot-propped-threat.
Third of all, there is absolutely no reason to believe that I (or anyone for that matter) would suddenly use bots to vote in elections. I have never used a bot to vote in any election ever. I will never use a bot to vote in any election ever. Anyone who uses a bot to vote in an election is a reckless risktaker. I strongly oppose the use of bots in voting. So unless Dominar Rygel II can produce evidence that I either have in the past or plan in the future to use bots to vote in an election, he has no case against me and/or 506 as a voter-fraud threat.
In other words, Dominar Rygel II has no actual case in fact. Those who voted in favor of his recent legislation either did so because of unjustified fear whipped up by DHS, or because they, too, just don’t like me. Congresspeople can vote however they want, though, so go nuts.
In summary:
Dominar Rygel II has led a campaign using his title as DHS to enact laws which have no evidentiary basis, and to manipulate public opinion falsely against me. Dominar Rygel II is guilty of malfeasance of office.
Libel
Libel is generally understood as the publication of false information that harms the reputation of an individual.
I have already stated my reasons that the claims made by Dominar Rygel II are false.
I am not stuffing The 506 with bots.
I am not PTOing eUSA.
I am not attempting to undermine the Constitution and Code of eUSA.
I am not planning to use bots to vote in any election ever.
Dominar Rygel II has provided no evidence in support of his claims. They are hearsay.
So the first half of the “libel” question is satisfied. He has publicized lies about me. But have they harmed my reputation?
Yes they have.
Since the recent campaign against me has begun, I have been contacted by 5 citizens with whom I have not had previous contact. Actually, I have been contacted by more than 5, but I want to focus on these 5 in particular.
These 5 citizens have contacted me because they are worried that I am a threat to eUSA.
I have been contacted by 5 citizens with whom I have not had previous interactions, because they believed the lies that were publicized by Dominar Rygel II.
So the current DHS Czar, comical though he may appear, is in fact harming my reputation in this game among citizens in eUSA.
Dominar Rygel II is guilty of libel. His claims are false and they have harmed my reputation.
Why I am withdrawing my support from Chickensguys
Up until now, I have been fairly impressed with the current Country President. I have said so publicly.
But when the DHS smear campaign began to spiral out of control, I asked the Country President, in the presence of his top Cabinet officials, to remove Dominar Rygel II from his office.
I wrote,
“I am once again being personally singled out by a member of the current cabinet who is DEFINITELY publishing libel and using his government title to do so.
I am asking that he be removed from his official position. I don't care what he says, except that he is abusing his government office.
Thank you,
Gnilraps”
My request did not even merit a reply.
I therefore state with a fair amount of confidence that the current administration is not interested in me, in an entire (and legitimate) Political Party, nor even that the affairs of government are conducted by its public servants in a civil manner.
Dear readers, those who have endured this lengthy diatribe, we are in the presence of an injustice carried out by one of our own public officials. Do something about it. Demand the censure and removal of Dominar Rygel II for his abuse of public trust, his manipulative behavior towards Congress, his libelous campaign against a citizen of eUSA, and his partisan malfeasance of office.
Don’t do it because you dislike Dominar Rygel II. Do it because injustice is its own cause for action. Do it for the sake of the rule of law.
Do it for yourself.
You may now reactivate your AF.

Act now.
Dominar Rygel II has utter contempt for Gnilraps.
he is not the only one
and you already have refused to debate me ....
Hi George.
Not true. I have debated with you for hours in private messages which has yielded zero fruit.
Zero fruit.

Why would I bother going back and read the previous nonsense if you cannot even neither be patient nor respectful?
Now this crap from your pulpit, someone with access to G account, respond to a PM from me and suggested I contact Krapis, you refuse to admit your shenanigans in that role. All I wanted was this Krapis character who researched G's meta-game library to admit the fantasy league was my idea ...
and HERE you are invoking RL heroes for your underhanded crap

LMAO
'' And Dominar Rygel II was enabled to do this by the current administration ''
I wouldn't go as far as say he is enable by the administration .. but yah..
Not everyone share his '' vision '' of what constitute a threat ..
Misposted my reply.
Thank you for stating that.

Pretty much says it all.
Although I have nothing against Chickenguys, his silence is easy to understand, he needs BSP and is scared they could be bumped out.
"I strongly believe, irl, in this ethic. I think it can do a lot of good in eRep too." - Gnilraps
Welp that was a quick reversal...waiting for the Krapis article
I'm not sure what injustice you're referring to, but I understand why people got upset about the krapis thing. If you want to talk about krapis, please contact me privately.
This comment was from Wilker Nath's article about turning the other cheek and seeking to build goodwill with "enemies". What you commented yesterday is a stark difference to your article today.
Ah.
I am not attacking Dominar. I am seeking his removal from office.
As I said in my personal PM (quoted in the article), I believe Dom can say whatever he wants as a private citizen. It's his use of a government office to pursue a personal agenda... that's what I'm complaining about.
You illegitimately served as CP with a multi account. You are a threat to the sovereignty of eUSA.
You could ask yourself how I conducted myself as CP. That would reveal more about whether or not I am a threat.
As for the dual-account situation, you've never asked me for an explanation, so perhaps you only want to demonize.
Either way, it doesn't constitute a threat.

a multi is forbidden or not ?
Not to totally beat a dead horse... well, maybe a little... but this is perhaps a good time to point out that, prior to taking over WTP,CG, Dominar, Groot and svs did everything in their power to PTO a long-standing and active political party -- the SFP. It was a clear-cut attempt to disenfranchise and antagonize a group of long-standing and active players. And it was done for no obvious purpose, as far as I can tell, other than to antagonize a a group of players whom they happened to dislike on purely ideological grounds. And it is something for which they have never apologized. To say they are not trustworthy and that their hysteria around Gnilraps is sheer hypocrisy would be an understatement.
I wasn't aware of svs's participation. I've given him the benefit of the doubt so far because he's a "new" player to me. I don't remember him from my prior experiences in this game.
I also wasn't here for their PTO, so some day I'd like to read the story of all that.
I had no participation in a SFP whatsoever. I have always been the dissenting voice in WTP and there is record to back this up that I can refer you to.
I've had some good experiences with svs. I remember we agreed on the Ryan Christ + kingtaco ousting shortly before krapis.
Svs, you should follow all of us and leave wtp, the other parties are less toxic. I have friends I can really trust in feds. The other parties too, sfp uswp bsp, from the outside looking in I see solid bonds of friendship between members within all those groups. I'm sure 506 will grow to be the same. By contrast, from the inside and outside, wtp has looked like a pit of snakes to me.
Your experience may be different, but myself and others have been backstabbed by fellow party members in wtp. If you speak your mind often enough, you'll see what I mean
We value SVS and his input, and we don't punish people for having different viewpoints. I think he was at the top of our Congress ballot last time around.
As for this nonsense about "PTOing SFP", CG and I were both legitimately elected. Oblige invited us to WTP because the party was near death, so we came. A few of the old members still remain, and are valued members of our party.
WTP is home. I appreciate the offer Wilker. The toxicity I get is from certain players. It was the same when I was in BSP & Feds. It's not really a party issue.
RF - this is not true. I have never had involvement of PTO's let alone an SFP PTO. I dont really dislike any SFP members. I just dislike some of your beliefs. You need to read wilkers article.
I'd like to get to know you better.
Not how I recall it, but perhaps I am mistaken. Willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.
You were very much involved in the PTO of the SFP...
@ Franklin Stone
How do you figure that?

Well stated, stay the course, people will hate and there isn't much you can do about it except shine a light on it.
There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
-Oscar Wilde
Yes.
And my policy with Ajay (and Dom) has generally been to avoid bringing attention to him, though I haven't strictly adhered to it.
This is more about the integrity of government.
Duminar = Chicken Little
That may be.
But my main point is about the integrity of our government offices more than the buffoonery of the person in DHS.
Malfeasance
def ~ Actions of corrupt government official.
hillbilly def ~ Somebody hacked a loogie in the noodle soup.
Normally I mention if I'm replying, especially in a foreign article, as Canada's CP or as a private citizen. This is to not confuse opinion with foreign policy. In this case I can safely say that the two coincide.
"My request did not even merit a reply."
Gnilly, you're in good company. CG hasn't answered any PMs from me or my staff for the last two months. Asteria, particularly Romania contacted us to ask why PotUS Chickensguys didn't return their PMs. I believe that was worked out. The excuse in December was family/Christmas stuff, whatever. They were more generous than I am, but then again I've put up with his crap for almost a decade.
BTW, what happened to Carlos3652, the former MoFA? aka the only son of a bitch from the US talking to Canada. Yep, evidently we're no longer a threat. CG's nose must be squarely planted in Romania's ass. I'm leading up to something...
ATTENTION U.S. CITIZENS...
Be aware that anything further your govt. insinuates regarding Canada, Orion or any of our friends is hearsay at best, quite possibly outright propaganda.
__________
Now, regarding my honourable enemy combatant, constant inspiration and good friend Gnilraps. I've observed this man from many points of view. He is nothing if not a best example of an American. I have NEVER observed him do anything that in anyway betrayed your country.
And I'll throw in one last little zinger for free. Gnilly, if you ever get tired of this bullshit, pounding your head against the wall, shoot me a PM. I'll pull every string I've got to get you citizenship.

Hey! King chickensguys!

By the by, Romania/Serbia are not quite like any other countries you've dealt with before. If you think the Croats were pissed when you crossed the you've not seen anything.
That part of the world makes the Hatfield/McCoy feud look like a bunch of wankers...
Wha????
CG ignoring PMs????
That's so not like him!!!
I know, right. lol
Still able to send MM though to ask for votes. 🤷♂️
I am truly astounded at your ability to continue to build a mountain of lies upon more lies. I'm almost lost for words here.
These "war bots" were in that party months ago, CG negotiated with you to withdraw them. We are against any and all bots, period, but they should've not been in that party to begin with. All of a sudden you begin an aggressive recruitment campaign to boost this party to the Top 5, and we're supposed to take your word for it that you won't try any funny business?
The one thing I can't prove are all those low level accounts that have been harassing our party, and have been in some others since early Spring. I think we both know who is behind them. I was also very impressed by these bots and their passionate support for Tyler in the WTP CP primary against me. Cute little trick.
But everything else is proven, after lying about it you finally admitted that Krapgate was in fact TRUE. Everything I wrote in that article was verified by YOU.
You used your reputation,and yes, you did have a reputation people respected for whatever reason, to bring in accounts, many of which were banned as a result. A personal voucher is a sacred thing in immigration, and it looked very poorly on you that SIX of those accounts were banned, but we all know why, and what the rest were for.
You got yourself elected under false pretenses, you have violated the spirit of agreements with the President of the United States, you continue to use underhanded tactics, and behave in such a bizarre way that no one else on here does.
And get over yourself with your obsession with Ajay. No one cares. He hasn't been active in years, and I already admitted to being Nixon/Lincoln and working with him almost a decade ago. It's irrelevant. Stick to the real issues, but you have no actual defense for that other than to claim you're being persecuted.
(Discussion) Blacklist Dominar Rygel II for Malfeasance
https://eusaforums.com/forum/index.php?topic=49182.0
Oh, Dom, be careful where you tread. I have evidence from your precious political protectors that shows them asking me to move bots INTO your party.
I have the good sense to respect those players because I appreciate what they've done for eUSA. I have no respect for what you've done.
Yes, CG and I absolutely came to an agreement about sensitive subject matters, and I have utmost respect for the way HE handled it. He will also verify, if he so desires, that I have 100% kept my word with him.
So you better check with the people you are hiding behind before you come at me with more BS.
CG would never, ever ask you to move bots in to our party. We don't need them, and I reported them to get them banned. We don't want bots in our party. Nice try.
Uh, no, considering he is very moderate, and was fed up with your BS.
