Hi Kids!
Well, it's been about a month since I've written anything, so I guess I'm due. Perfect timing too, just what you needed, another political article right before the CP election!
😃
Where To Start?
First let's rewind to last month, shall we? Israel Stevens was implicated with the six small party PTO's by Henry Pfeiffer's USWP. Chickensguys was a tool used to tie up the USMP (formerly the Lib's) endorsement and then direct votes by way of his avatar on election day. Zowie! Lotsa crap flyin' around because of these. I still say Israel was duped.
Next we have Rainy Sunday, or no... wait... no we don't have Rainy Sunday, she resigned
*[Editors Note: Thanks to Ariovistus for the correction.]
On to the international scene... Chile bad! Argentina good! Why? Because Oblige makes snuggle face at Clorofila and she winks back at him! LOL and BTW, Bulgaria is bad too. Who is this Oblige bloke anyway? He stumbles into Terra and starts kicking countries around like
Finally, let's clean house, shall we? Jude and Custer don't fit with the "IN" crowd anymore. They severed their purpose, but as all good investigative reporters, they can only be used for so long before they get wise and start to question things.
Now On To Today's Headlines
What the hell JD? To his credit, Joseph Dinero does not spread the blame around in his recent article explaining why he's no longer in April's POTUS contest. He deserves respect from everyone for that.
I don't care what people's opinion of my words are, so I will state the obvious. This is the first time JD has ran a POTUS campaign. He doesn't know all the ins and outs by heart. He failed to check on procedure regarding candidacy requirements, specifically the effect of switching party's and the deadline to candidate for CP. For that he has paid the price.
My musings now turn to the why and how of it. My nostrils detect a foul stench, the smell of sabotage. This is only supposition of course, so bear that in mind when you comment/complain below. It sure seems kinda funny to make the last second switch to the Fed's because they are a bigger party than BoL, and hence would provide more 2-clicker votes. If these strategist were smart enough to figure that out why were they stupid enough not to do it sooner or in the first place? Nope, to me this reeks of a set up job.
So What?

So what indeed! Typical eUS politics, right? Well yes & no. You have to realize I've been watching this from the outside for awhile now. I am not caught up with furthering my cause or promoting anything. (Although I am fond of Pickle's Patriots.) I've removed myself from politics but not isolated myself from it's observation. I still see/hear what's going on.
I don't wish to provide fodder for a debate I don't want to have. Just let it be know that there are people controlling things and you may not like what they have planned for you. (I'm not talking about the elitist shit either, so forget that argument.)
OK I'm Done
Yes, Thedillpickl is mad, insane even. I'm off my rocker, dazed and confused. That's fine, you all go back to yer fake eLives with your important ePositions and be glamorous. When the walls close in and there is no way out remember this, I'm already on the outside. GL to you.
I've said my piece, so what do you think?

Pickled.
I'm pickled tink to hear such a fresh, independent voice.
Excellent, thoughtful argue as usual. I have come to enjoy the times that you do speak Mr. Pickle.
Voted. I always appreciate your independent view on the goings on of the eUS.
"...Rainy Sunday, she resigned as SoH and from Congress."
She only resigned from Congress, she carried out her speaker duties to the last day, ofc.
rock on pickl

Good read, thanks.
Svetoslav Terter is correct! It is an advert, lol.
The only potential for sabotage in the JD circumstance would be whomever it was (if anyone) who cooked up the idea to switch parties to begin with. Knowing JD, I cannot imagine that he was taking advice from anyone he didn't trust, so I am confident that there was no foul play.

voted....just because JD trusted doesn't mean they deserved his trust...this is a use of 'game mechanics' worthy of the master manipulator himself....
Seriously.. Who the hell is Oblige?
oh, and, Great article Pickle.
DON'T LEAVE US !
🙁
Meow! 🙂
Nice read great paper. Anyhow hell everyone just vote pizza might as well sick of this elite bull shi* seting things up and taking control of even our elections now.
This player isnt going to a puppet for the gov regime anymore !!!
Throwing a middle finger to the system from now on ~!!!
It'd like to make a correction, "Oblige makes snuggle face at FlorenciaC and she winks back at him!" would be a more proper form for that sentence. Let's get these eMarriages straight now 😛

We are yet to see the degree of independence that the integrated groups will be allowed to maintain, so I think it is a bit early for harsh criticisms. However this is a move towards centralization, no doubt about that.
Sorry to be a butt head Kemal. God knows that the OWLS should have been offered full military status months ago, but this is not the way to go about it! Secret Congress threads that are now made public? No public disclosure at all? This is not a security item, even though it involves the military/militias. It is only about the way that funds are supplied! The two have been kept separate forever for a reason. Now the govt. is going to directly fund MU's that are independent? And if the MU's are not to be independent, then why not direct members in the the regular military and then disband the old MU's?
I knew that when ST6 dropped OMS funding it was odd. The big guys always want more & better. Then when Oblige started talking of dropping OMS funding I became concerned because that would wipe out several of the smaller MU's. Now it's clear to me that this is a two fold effort. Get Obliges favorite militias into the realm of govt. funded military, while shutting out the old JCS guys and also killing off the little MU's and forcing them into the military. BULL F'ING SHIT!
As for myself and Pickle's Patriots, this affects us in no way, shape or form. I've never taken a penny of govt. funds, period. But have donated a ton of shit in the name of our MU. (I will rethink that choice if it presents itself again.) So what I'm saying in this comment is completely unbiased. We could leave tomorrow and be some other countries patriots for all I care. (Boy, I'm pissed off and I don't care who knows it!)
I think the old JCS guys are still doing fine, proof we've been doing ok for quite some time and absolutely no Gov funds.
As for the move that is happening right now... I'm in total disagreement as it involve the mentality, either you are with the USAF or you don't get a penny of our tax revenue (Which we are quite overtaxed imo). I can see their reasonning for wanting more control. But the OMS MU should stand together in this if they hope to achieve anything. What some people in gov are expecting is that most will join and then the left overs will not have enought leverage to protest.
@Chucky Norris, let 'em come to me. I will show those capable of learning how to be self sufficient. I also take in strays. :~)
It wasn't just that with JD - I made some remarks that not only made me sound like an idiot, but gave the BoL a bad rep because of it. Of course, I had to release a statement:
