KHMC CP selection begins

Day 2,465, 09:34 Published in Australia Argentina by Nathan Aus


G'day again

There hasn't been enough beer in one brewery to get me through the last 2 or so days with the cloak and dagger going on so this is the only play I have left.



Before I get trolled, allow me to explain the situation I'm in. I'm not looking for blame of any sort, but it has to be handled and dealt with. I can't be in the middle on this anymore.

The deal.

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs has announced in a public media article that a deal has been arranged with the Government of Finland in the form of a rental agreement. Some of our members have raised public concerns not only about what's on the table, but also about the lack of information presented.

Members of the Government have publicly responded that KnightHawk leaders were informed about the package. To date, our reps in Congress, our party and the KnightHawk Military Unit have either denied being informed, or in the least possible sense, denied being told the full story.



It has come to light that LanyIsLost, one of our two parliamentarians, has been privy to the deal not as a result of being a KHMC member, but as a Command member of her own military unit with ronnyjnrjnr. Ronny has now confirmed this.

AwesomeSal, our other rep in Congress, has denied receiving anything due to a Government refusal by Infowar. Turns out that Infowar makes it a pre-condition to add Congress members to his eRep friends list before sending them information. It's wrong, but that's his choice and no one is going to stand up and do anything about it, making any commonsense solution dead in the water.

Position

A few things haven't been quite right and a play on words has been key to selling who's right and wrong.

The bottom line is KHMC, as a party, have been completely in the dark on Finland, despite being the number 3 party in this country. The Government is sailing the country into a major geographical change of border security, including the added risk of illegal immigrants more easily jumping citizenship through the northern hemisphere of the game.

I have written to the Australian President requesting a detailed information package, also noting there's every chance I'll be denied.

Adding to the problem is our Military Commander Henry the 8th having a broken inbox and not doing much about putting things in place to delegate an active Command member to represent him in the life of the party.

Speaking of that, it's become known to me that the KH MU wish to continue operating out of sight, out of mind of the party, when there are political matters involved. If this was purely a military position with no policy angle at all, it wouldn't even be a big deal. At times like this, these relationships are crucial and there's no room for going off the reserve.



Where to?

The Government can withhold anything they wish, from anyone at any time. It doesn't make it right, it just makes it legal. Parties are political processes that should be consulted. Who knows what would have happened? With a bit of respect we could have had a chin wag and dealt with this like men, but now it's gone beyond that when I can't do my job and represent the concerns of my members.

Dr Hugh wrote an article, arguably tongue-in-cheek, but he is right. Summarising it, it's on a need to know basis. Dr Hugh knows I respect him and I'm proud to call him a mate, but as mates we're allowed to disagree. I can't support how the Infowar Government has gone about this.

How much is this rental deal going to cost the country? Reports to members last term indicated our finances are being expended at a greater rate than they're being made. Big concerns there.



How long is the deal for? Tag on that, logging in this morning I notice that Finland is trying to take Lapland back. I realise anyone can launch these bids in an active war but if Finland doesn't have the respect of its citizens to prevent rogue militias, how can Australians be sure the deal itself is secure from overpowering? KHMC Congress Member AwesomeSal laid out how little we make compared to the "friends" we have in the Finland, Sweden and Norway Alliance.

On that very point, with nothing to hold them to it by legal or game control standards, what will prevent a future Government of Finland from tearing it up?

This rent deal could be only until Congress and it could only cost a couple of tanks. If we're getting no information...... Get the point?



Action

It's been made clear to me that members want to be represented on it. Our Members of Congress have been put into a compromised position and the Party Presidents who aren't an MC or Cabinet Member are being kept out of the loop. We need a standard bearer and what we have isn't cutting it. I'm now wiping my hands of being in the middle, hit by Government and KHMC Member alike.

The only logical step left is for me, as President of the KHMC, to declare the opening of nominations and to pre-select a Candidate for Country President.

Members, send me your nominations to prepare a ballot.

Cheers
