We Can Never Forget

Day 1,198, 17:05 • Published in USA USA • by Glove

Today the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by Indonesian imperial forces in conjunction with support of NWO allies. We have been at relative peace with Indonesia for quite some time now, and have for the most part, avoided any direct conflict. However, it is clear that all talks to court Indonesia to join PANAM have failed. Indonesian air squadrons have commenced bombing in Hawaii, the Indonesian propagandist delivered this message “This is not about any Alliance and all, if you dislike eUSA or like to see them destroyed then please join us in this war.” This war is no surprise, we have long received warnings of a total-war,now is the time to act. Every little bit of damage you inflict upon the enemy will be received with gratitude by the next generation of Americans. We must salvage this nation and ensure our future.

To any young player who has stumbled upon this article: Now is the time to serve. Below are quick references to join the armed forces, be it the military or a militia, it does not matter at this point, what matters is you are fighting for your country.
Military
Militia

If you care about this nation, you will have to actively engage yourself in all affairs: political, military, media, meta-game. A well informed and active citizen is the strongest asset a nation can have.

We will always remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, in their righteous might, the American people will win through absolute victory. Problems exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph. Should the enemies continue to intrude into the sky, land and seas of this great nation, we will as ever continue dealing more devastating physical blows at them-we shall wage sacred war.



Hawaii is quickly becoming overrun by hordes of NWO, California and several other states are imminent targets. If you live in California, the time to evacuate is now. Some citizens are offering free plane tickets to avoid the oncoming conflict, make use of these offers. Although it seems Hawaii has been taken over, I thank all of you who have fought valiantly, just by quickly going through these records we can get a glimpse of who are true allies are. However it must be noted these few images lack the hundreds of citizens who also fought today.

This war is far from over, Indonesia has brought the fight to us, but we will finish it.



Dispelling the Rumours and Questions
It has been brought to my attention that there are some issues many of you are concerned about, many of these I have already addressed but I will briefly address them once more.

Q: Do you have the experience necessary to run for President?
My qualifications have already been explained or implied in my previous publications. History has shown that you can serve every position in the cabinet and still be a terrible president. I agree, you don’t need to be Secretary of State or in the Joint Chiefs before you run for President. Emerick, one of the most renowned former presidents in our nation, himself has stated that the roles of the executive don’t require anyone special. What the executive requires is active, competent, and loyal citizens, nothing more. Many of us will never get a chance to be in the executive, the same people are usually “reused.” This is unfortunate and I aim to better the situation. Anyways, to give a brief synopsis of my “experience”:
-DCoS
-IES Director
-Silver Millennium Party President
-Ultra-nationalist Party President
-Congressional whip x2
-Congressman x4
-Former Ambassador to Bolivia
-Former Ambassador to Colombia
-SS Member
-Ex-Calvaryman
-Honorably Discharged TC
-Media Mogul x2
-Society Builder x2
-Hardworker x12 (Never Missed a Day of Erepublik)
-Battle Hero x5
-Resistance Hero x1
-Philanthropist, ie: here, here, and here

I have dedicated a lot of my time to this game, I have participated in just about every field, perhaps never reaching the higher echelons of these fields, but enough to have a solid understanding in each one.



Q: How do you address concerns that you are too close to INCI?
I would like to quote “As their [INCI] actions become increasingly hostile, our response must be equally forceful” from Harrison Richardon’s article. I disagree with this statement, “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind,” but I understand why Richardson’s statement seems valid right now. On congressional election day, the INCI took a strong lead during the day. This is important to understand, during our day was when most of INCI had already voted, for them it was like the race was already decided and finalized. When many of us got home during our prime time, which is essentially opposite of INCI’s primetime, fear and anger took over. Many Americans asked “how could we let them take our country?” Then the government intervened and prevented the INCI from taking a majority. INCI ended up with 14 congressman instead of the 10 congressman guaranteed by the US government. I know that Harrison, the appointed INCI envoy, claims that he asked INCI to abide by the government’s request. Whether or not INCI planned to take a majority is questionable, they did have a large majority for a while, but to what extent did the INCI leadership influence this? Honestly, I don’t think it was intentional. I think a lot of the INCI members were simply rogue 2-clickers, as evident with the case of Halfie’s support on election day. As you may know, Halfie is an excellent troll, he joined INCI because he felt like it and got a whopping 30 votes. Why would INCI direct voters to Halfie? They wouldn’t, he was simply in INCI’s party and this likely caused many INCI to vote for him. His mere party affiliation, not any order from the INCI leadership, allowed him to garner so much support.
This is similar to the trend we see during election-days with the USWP. Although there are some prominent Americans in the USWP, many new USWP players still manage to win elections against more renown citizens just by sheer party affiliation. USWP “zombies” as the party calls them, see the USWP party under the candidate’s name and vote for him/her accordingly. I think we saw the same thing happen for INCI on the last Congressional elections. If INCI intention was to PTO the country, why then, I ask, did the INCI not wait until just before server reset to direct all their members to vote? This is a more convenient time for them than us anyways, as its about the middle of the day and isn't much a problem, had they done this we would have next to no non-inci congressman in office right now. I am not an INCI puppet, the sheer idea of this being suggested makes me lol a bit. 🙂 For those who believe I am too close to INCI, I want you to understand I have done nothing less than a good patriot should do. I talk to people on #INCI, just like I talk to people on #USWP, #fedpartychat, #uip, #SEES, and #uslp. I was one of the first Americans to join their chat, I was initially scared, I recall saying to Emerick “We are witnessing a babyboom right in front of us.” INCIs attitude to the game is such so, it is a game. They left Turkey to escape fakes and Lazocrats. I have promised them nothing but human compassion and respect.

“You are not an INCI member, but you are close to their movement and are seen as a sort of cult hero for them.” Again, Richardson does not understand what he is saying. Although it is true I am not an INCI member, I am no cult hero for them. Far from it. I would also like to point out that it was actually our past governments that invited INCI to join this country, INCI has for a long time been searching for a place to call home, it was the hand of friendship our government extended to them that they finally decided to choose the United States of America as their home. Our government offered them limited citizenships, but INCI did not want to be split, they wanted to be united, so they started making babies right here in America. Then INCI tried to join the military, they were rejected, then they tried joining ST6, many INCI did not like the atmosphere in ST6 so they decided to stick together with other INCI. Technically, according to the US government, INCI is a militia, but does not receive any OMS funding. So they have been rejected from the military and do not fit in with the militias, and then they are attacked in the media by those that invited them to this country. Yes, INCI does have some angry members, just like America has its trolls and Pizzas. Blatantly attacking them will not accomplish anything, especially with such a large population. I think the reason they prefer me over the other candidates this election is because I have always been the calm respectful person they like to be around. I talk to anyone who wants to talk, you don’t need to be formal with me. I recall depici saying something along the lines of “Glove has always been kind and respectful, even if we disagree with things he understands that we are humans too.” I have seen some plans to PTO the INCI or snipe them out of elections, if you are that passionate about them, there is technically nothing that can stop you. This is democracy after-all. But I do not believe attacking them without understanding the facts is the correct path, I believe working together is the best solution. INCI fight for us daily, funding or no funding, they do it regardless.

Q: Do you have a platform?
Yes. I actually planned to release it today but now it will be released on my next publication so this isn’t more tl;dr. But a brief overview: We need to make PANAM work. PANAM is currently the joke of the world, it is really unstable and many have already lost faith in it. Argentina and Brazil have been there for us, its time to realize that. But we can't forget our allies, there are still many countries in EDEN that support us, we can't turn our back on them. Anyways, I won’t bother further justifying this questions validity as the author has yet to provide significant substance in his articles, whereas I at least have already touched on some of the issues he mentions. The only subject worthy of note is the idea of empowering the “Secretary of Defense” However I would like an elaboration on this, as it seems very vague, in what way “does it depoliticize the military?” In what way do you plan on revamping the Department of Defense and who will be in charge of this? The SoD alone? If the SoD is in charge isn't this still politicized since the SoD will be chosen by you? I have always been a staunch believer in that the military and the executive should adhere to the idea that “communication is a two-way street.”

In your article you ask some valid questions, many of which have already been explained. I now ask you some questions:

In this memoir you give a summary of your actions and thoughts throughout your time in erepublik. Both as Franco and Harrison Richardson. I will disregard actions if I must, but I still feel the mentality expressed in your writing is relevant. When a citizen asked about it, your vice president’s argument for the actions you committed were justified because “That was over 2 years ago as a different citizen.“

Something that also caught my eye was your reference to power. In fact you mention power 10 times. You go as far as stating “Being President is the most fun you’ll ever have. First, power. Everyone loves power.. if you say you don’t, you’re a liar...Being President is the equivalent of being on crack.. it’s that addicting, I promise you.”

These are strong words, and this brings to min😛

To what extent has power influenced your decision to return to the presidency, after a long period of inactivity?

In the event the your Secretary of Defense idea does not function well and you get into an argument with the JCS again, will you propose to cut the military’s funding?

Are you the owner of PENIX? The organization that received large amounts of gold when the erepublik stock exchange service was taken down and also where thousands of users lost all their gold investments?



You are not your

khakis.
