My fellow Americans,

Earlier this evening, Indonesia attacked Hawaii. This is the beginning of a chain of events long discussed by our members, that, as our nation stands at this moment, we are not in the least prepared for.

Every one of us today stands symbolically at a fork in the road. We have the choice to continue on the path we’ve been traveling the past two years, or to make a change and start anew. I assure you, the path we’re traveling now has but one end: A shattered, burning husk of a once great nation, divided by political, cultural, and social disparity.

The other road is a long one, and a hard one, but it leads to the only shred of hope we have. The time has come for all of us to consider our prejudices one more time before we shed them and move on to take up arms side by side.

Today, my friends, we are at war. This day, March 1st, our soil has been attacked for the first time in recent memory. Now, more than ever, it’s time to prioritize.



As the great American President Abraham Lincoln once said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” That is where we stand as a nation today. We could be one of the powerhouses, going to war with full confidence in our successes. Instead, weakened, we are the target of what will be a massive invasion.

On the 25th, many controversial events took place. A lot was done in the name of national security that is currently the subject of heated debates across the nation. What came out of that day was the force that American parties can be if they unite together. Though the actions were controversial, four out of the top five parties moving in lock step were able to accomplish a lot in the name of national security. Imagine what all five can do.



Now, just four days later, we are under attack. No matter your political orientation, this national security threat cannot be denied. It’s time to be better than our petty differences. It’s time to unite under our common flag and kick some Indo fanny.

No longer can we perpetuate the conflict that’s been brewing between the military and politicians. Today, we are all soldiers.

No longer can we continue to approach the INCI group with mistrust and hostility. Today, we are all soldiers.

No longer can we refuse to fight where directed for personal or political reasons. Today we are all soldiers.

Politicians, it’s time to show the military that you know how to stand and fight too. Military, it’s time to show the politicians you know we’re all playing for the same team. It’s time for all of us to recognize INCI as a new integral part of our nation. Today, and for many days after this, the Owls of INCI will be laying down serious damage in support of our nation. We are all in this together.



Now more than ever it is imperative that we remember our allies and the sacrifices they make for us. I implore our government to send troops overseas when aid is requested. We need to show our allies we’ve changed, and we can honor the agreements we have made with them. Together we stand, divided we fall.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the beginning of something big. We can all stop holding our breath, it’s happening today. Remember where you were when Hawaii was attacked. We’re in for a bumpy ride. If we can learn to put aside our differences and fight together, we may just make it out of this one alive.

Finally my friends, a special message for INCI (Thanks to Keci for the translation):

Birçok amerikalının sana karşı oldugunu biliyorum. Bugün tüm alçakgönüllülüğümle sana bunları bir kenara bırakmanı ve her zaman beraber oldugumuzu söylemek istedim. Sizi destekliyorum arkadaşlar ve sizinle vakit geçirirken çok egleniyorum. Birkaç nacizane önerim olucak. hintlilerin kıçını tekmelemekle ne kadar megül oldugunu tüm amerikalı oyuncalara göster.  

Dünyaya baykuşların neler yapabilecegini gösterin
