Solange Glaisyer (13 April 1879 - 22 September 1969) was an French African woman who served as the 2nd Commandant de l'Etat of France from 1929 to 1945, and is considered by many to be the most "powerful woman in French history." She was a militant atheist and supporter of humanitarian efforts in the Fascist Party through her lifetime, and became known internationally and domestically for her promiscuous behaviors. She was known for publicly appearing with two or more partners of varying sexes. When asked about this in 1929, she replied that she was a bisexual and practiced polygamy. She is responsible for creating the secular culture of France in the modern era, and has a very positive legacy amongst the French.

"...the Venezuelans are very good at this sort of thing. I'm speaking to you from behind a pair of fake Ray-Bans, wearing a fake Armani jacket, carrying a fake Louis Vuitton bag, in which we find a fake iPad and a fake iPhone. And if we consult my fake Omega watch, we see that it's 2:35, probably, which means that it's time to pop into the fake Starbucks over there for a cup of fake coffee. It seems, then, that the expression 'copyright infringement' doesn't translate very well into Venezuelan Spanish."
- Jeremy Clarkson, host of the British TV show Top Gear

"If we were to have a war between the German Empire and Canada, I think France would probably win."
- Takeshi Kitano on Comedy Hour during the 2014 Czechoslovak War

"Liberty secured by submission to foreign will is not liberty at all."
- Kim Il-sung, 1964

"We welcome change and brotherhood, for we believe that freedom and brotherhood go together, that the advance of world peace can only strengthen the cause of human liberty. There is one sign the German government can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. Chancellor Kohl, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Holy Roman Empire and its allies of Hungary and Denmark, if you seek reconciliation, come here to this gate. Chancellor Kohl, open this gate. Chancellor Kohl, tear down this wall!
...
"As I looked out a moment ago from the town hall, looking towards Bratislava just across the Iron Curtain, I noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young German. It said, 'This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.' Yes, across Central Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand fraternity; it cannot withstand truth. This wall cannot withstand freedom."
- Ronald Reagan, 1987, speaking in the German town of Kittsee, near the Czechoslovak border

"We the People of the Empire of Japan, hold these truths to be self-evident, that all humans, of all creeds, races, colors and faiths are equal, and are invested by their creator with the capacity to great good, and great evil, and the capacity to know right from wrong, therefore their sovereign right to personal liberties shall never be infringed upon..."
- Preface to the Japanese Constitution, ratified 1789

-Esteban Lopez, 1897

"The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end."
-Antoni Belinsky, to Stanislav Pavlenko on the Balkan Wars.

-Antoni Belinsky, 1891

"It is easy to romanticize poverty, to see poor people as inherently lacking agency and will. It is easy to strip them of human dignity, to reduce them to objects of pity. This has never been clearer than in the view of Africa from the American media, in which we are shown poverty and conflicts without any context."

"I am the hero of Africa."
-His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Amadi Nkruma, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the Roman Empire in Africa in General and Chad in Particular

Every nation shall burn under the mighty boots of Indonesia, and we shall rid the world of Japan, of China, of Britain, of Germany and of the Confederacy, the Islamic World shall be enlightened under one house!"
- Admiral Wahyu of Indonesia, 1958

"That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man- when I could get it- and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? Intellect, that's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them."
- Canadian abolitionist and suffragette Sojourner Truth in the Confederate city of Akron, 1851

"...the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.
...
We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the Confederate States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say the we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.
There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why did our forefathers stand to defend their rights against the British Empire? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
- President-Elect John F. Kennedy, 1962

"The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americaners- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by peace, proud of our ancient heritage- and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
...
And so, my fellow Americaners: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
- inaugural address of CS President John F. Kennedy, 1963

"But all these years later, the negro still is not free. All these years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. All these years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. All these years later, the negro is still languished in the corners of Americaner society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the Martyred Fathers of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the First Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the 'unalienable rights' of 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked 'insufficient funds'.
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
...
In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
...
There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, 'When will you be satisfied?' We can never be satisfied as long as the negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating 'for whites only'. We cannot be satisfied as long as a negro in New Orleans cannot vote and a negro in Chicago believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
...
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the Americaner dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to my home with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
...
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so, let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of Sonora. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New Mexico. Let freedom ring from the heightening Appalachians of Virginia. Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Utah. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that. Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old negro spiritual:
Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last!"
- civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., in Washington, 1963

Five score and eighteen years ago, the Martyred Fathers dreamt of a new nation on this continent, conceived in liberty, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Two score and seventeen years ago, the Victorious Fathers made this into a reality.
Now the world is engaged in a great world war, testing whether that nation- or any nation so conceived and so dedicated- can long endure. We meet near to the battlefields of all three of the great wars this nation has faced, part of a continent that has itself become a battlefield. We have come here to dedicate a ground once owned by one of our great leaders, near where another great leader of ours gave his life in the hope that his nation would live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate or consecrate this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who have struggled for our nation, have consecrated it, far beyond our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here- but it can never forget what has been done by those who will rest here. It is for us, the living, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who have fought for our country have so nobly advanced. It is rather for us here to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave their lives- that we here highly resolve that those dead shall not have died in vain- that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom- and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."
- President Thomas Hendricks at the dedication of Arlington National Cemetery, 1891

"Today is truly a day of victory. A victory for not only the Russian people but a victory in the name of peace at last. I only wish Trotsky and Belinsky had lived to see this."
-Vladimir Lenin giving a speech in Moscow after the overthrow of the Republic by the communists, 1991.

"Our free peoples stand surrounded by the empires of fear and blood, empires that wish for us to be their slaves. To the east, there is Russia, looking to expand west; to the west, the Germans, looking to expand east; to the south, Rum, looking to expand north. If we remain divided, then we remain weak, we remain targets for those who would conquer us.
We will not permit this. The nations of Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Baltic Union, and Finland-Estonia are entitled to sovereignty and liberty, and we will not allow these to be stolen from us. We have fought long and hard for what is rightfully ours, and we will not abandon these hard-fought rights. We will not be intimidated, nor will we be harassed, nor will we be oppressed. We will stand before those who seek our destruction and deny them. We will stand before Death, before Slavery, before Tyranny, and we will tell them, 'not today and not ever'. We will defy evil, and will survive in spite of it all.
The Yugoslav, Czechoslovak, Polish, Baltic, and Finnish-Estonian people will never again be shackled or conquered. From this day forth, we shall stand united, as friends. From this day forward, we shall protect each other from all threats, foreign and domestic, to guarantee our mutual liberty, security, and prosperity. From this day forth, we are united as one in a great alliance, and will at all times cooperate with each other and strive together. From this day on we will stand beside each other as brothers, and we will do all that is necessary for the continued sovereignty and liberty of all our peoples."
- excerpt from the Intermarian Treaty, 1892

"There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the Intermarians and the Germans.
Let them come to Bratislava.
There are some who say that Germany is a free, democratic, peaceful country.
Let them come to Bratislava.
And there are some who say, in Europe and elsewhere, that we should be working with the Germans.
Let them come to Bratislava.
And there are even a few who say that, while Germany has its flaws, they have been overblown by the Intermarium.
Let them come to Bratislava."
- Czechoslovak President Aleksandr Dubček

"There is no such thing as the nation. There is only humanity. And if we do not come to understand this soon, then there will be no nations, because there will be no humanity."
- attributed to Fahd al-Massoum, first Grand Mufti of Mauritania

"We are a nation of differences, and that cannot be denied. But that will never be our weakness. It will always be our strength. We all know this, in our hearts. We will survive the attacks from those who would force us to fight our brothers and sisters, and we will emerge more unified than ever before. That is who we are. That is what we are built upon. That is what we stand for. That is how we live."
- Yugoslavia's King Dragomir, 2000, following the Yugoslav Wars

"I want there to be two mottos on this coat of arms you have given to me: above the shield, the words veritas vos liberabit, the truth will set you free, and below the shield, the words calamus gladio fortior, the pen is mightier than the sword. These are the words that I have lived by, and I hope those who come after me shall live by them as well."
- Georg von Licht, after being told that the Emperor of Germany was allowing the von Licht family a coat of arms, 1837

"My husband considered himself Chinese. Though he had long since been truly Japanese, his mother, grandmother, and great grandfather all being Japanese, he still called himself Chinese. The court of Manchukuo resembled something out of an old kabuki theatre depiction of a Chinese court in the time before Daoguang... and yet, Puyi relished in every minute. He considered himself more and more Chinese, despite the fact that the very nation he was warring against through his Empire of Manchukuo was the nation he claimed to be saving from corruption. I had long loathed what he was doing, but I was powerless to stop it by that point. When the Kwangtung officers told us we were evacuating Harbin for a region further north in Manchuria, I refused to go, and fled southwest. I met my family again, my darling mother, and I returned to Japan shortly afterwards, and divorced him, and we never spoke again."

"By order of the National Preservation Council, and transitional Emperor of the Ethiopian nation, Qing, you, Puyi, dishonorable ronin, expelled from the Aisin-Gioro clan for treasonous actions against your own blood, waging a war for several years in Manchuria, claiming to be the true Son of Heaven in Manchuria, the rightful Chinese Emperor. Expelled from the Yamato clan for your attempts to unseat Akane, Esteemed Empress of the Japanese Empire. The dishonorable one, Puyi, is also charged with seditious acts against Ethiopia, consorting with terrorists, and bypassing the rule of parliament without constitutional right. You are hereby sentenced by this court to death..."

"I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
'Eat in the kitchen,'
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed-

I, too, am America."
- I, Too, by Confederate poet Frederick Lee

"Oh, let America be America again-
The land that never has been yet-
And yet must be- the land where every man is free.
The land that's mine- the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME-
Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
Must bring back our mighty dream again.

Sure, call me any ugly name you choose-
The steel of freedom does not stain.
From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
We must take back our land again,
America!

Oh, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath-
America will be!"
- excerpt from Let America be America Again, by Frederick Lee

"Our nations are remarkable in how similar they truly are to each other. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin are martyrs for the Confederate cause, and fathers of the Japanese cause. My daughter Ranko stood along-side Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong and walked on the surface of the moon with them. The Constitution that binds the Japanese state, begins with the same words that rang true in Philadelphia almost 200 years ago. We the People. Here stands the testament that despite differences, hatred, rivalry and imperial ambition, two nations can reconcile themselves. Here, where several hundred Japanese and American sailors gave their life, where an island was ravaged by war, and the Great War began in the Pacific, we commemorate the peace that has endured now for fifty years, and it is a blessing from whichever God you praise, that we have endured. The Confederacy and Japan should be brothers, not enemies."
- Emperor Alexander II's speech at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, the 50th Anniversary of the Day of Infamy.

"Until this moment, Mr. Shenes, I think I have never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Ariel Nissim is a young man who went to Harvard University's law school and came into my firm and is starting what looks to be a brilliant career with us. Little did I dream you could be so reckless and so cruel as to do an injury to that lad. It is true he is still with my firm. It is true that he will continue to be with my firm. It is, I regret to say, equally true that I fear he shall always bear a scar needlessly inflicted by you. If it were in my power to forgive you for your reckless cruelty I would do so. I like to think I am a gentle man but your forgiveness will have to come from someone other than me."

"May I say that Mr. Kohen talks about this being cruel and reckless. He was just baiting; he has been baiting Mr. Efrayim here for hours, requesting that Mr. Efrayim, before sundown, get out of any department of government anyone who is serving the Netanyahist cause. I just give this man’s record, and I want to say, Mr. Kohen, that it has been labeled long before he became a member, as early as 1944-"

"Mr. Shenes, may we not drop this? We know he had some college friends among the Netanyahists, and Imamuel Efrayim nods his head at me. I did you, I think, no personal injury, Mr. Efrayim. I meant to do you no personal injury, and if I did, Mr. Efrayim, I beg your pardon."

"I would like to finish this-"

"Let us not assassinate this lad further, sir."

"Mr. Kohen, I know it-"

"All right, sir, you've done enough... God Almighty, have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

"I am unjust, but I can strive for justice.
My life’s unkind, but I can vote for kindness.
I, the unloving, say life should be lovely.
I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness.

Man is a curious brute- he pets his fancies-
Fighting mankind, to win sweet luxury.
So he will be, though law be clear as crystal,
Tho’ all men plan to live in harmony.

Come, let us vote against our human nature,
Crying to God in all the polling places
To heal our everlasting sinfulness
And make us sages with transfigured faces."

Japanese Senate votes to condemn St. Louis Police Department, State of Missouri, in unanimous vote -- Adams urges the Confederacy to, "realize the problem"

TOKYO -- After the Grand Jury in Ferguson, Missouri voted to not indite murderer Darren Wilson, riots have broken out all across the Confederate States in support of Michael Brown's parents and family, for his loss of life. Recently elected Prime Minister, John A. Adams, spoke before the Senate. "My ancestor, John Adams, was one of a few men who believed that, well, all men were created equal. They call him a Martyred Father, but yet, the Grand Jury, 9 whites, 3 blacks, exonerated a man who all evidence points to being a murderer. What a disgrace this is to freedom, and to the international community, and to the rule of law. I cannot blame President Obama for this failure, but I can blame Governor Nixon, and the brutality foist upon innocent protestors by the St. Louis Police Department... It is now up for the Confederate States to realize it has a serious breach in race relations, and to mend that breach before things get out of hand."

The Japanese Senate voted unanimously to condemn the State of Missouri and the St. Louis Police Department with only 4 dissenting votes.

FERGUSON ABLAZE AFTER GRAND JURY VERDICT; VIOLENCE "MUCH WORSE THAN AUGUST" SAYS SAINT LOUIS POLICE
November 25th, 2014
SAINT LOUIS, MISSOURI, CONFEDERACY - The city of Ferguson, a suburb of Saint Louis, has been hit by another wave of violence "much worse than August" after a grand jury announced that it would not indict Officer Darren Wilson, who had been accusing of murdering black teenager Michael Brown, with reports of violence and looting reaching into areas of South Saint Louis.

The protests came in spite of calls for calm from the Brown family itself.

Criminals used the cover of organized protests to smash windows and steal from businesses along Grand Boulevard, the St. Louis Police Department said this morning. Protesters shut down nearby Interstate 44, which distracted police while criminals broke business windows along about a three-block stretch of Grand Boulevard, Chief Sam Dotson said at a news conference. More businesses were damaged were near Grand and Arsenal Street in the Tower Grove South neighborhood and not far from St. Louis proper's Shaw neighborhood.

Police also said 21 businesses on Grand Avenue had windows smashed out, including Rooster, the U.S. Post Office, AT&T, Qdoba, King and I, and the International Market. Burglaries were reported at the Walgreen's at 3945 Gravois and the Radio Shack at 3517 Hampton Avenue. There also were six other incidents of windows smashed around the city, including a clothing store at 1308 Washington Avenue and the Bank of America at Grand and Gravois, Jackson said. In addition, at least 10 businesses in Ferguson itself were damaged or destroyed by fire.

Some of the suspects carried weapons, police said. Two people in a stolen car at Grand and Gravois Avenue were arrested with two handguns in their possession. Another person at Grand and Arsenal Street also carried a firearm.

Of the 21 arrests in St. Louis, 15 were on felony charges, police spokeswoman Schron Jackson said. Those charges included property damage, burglary and arson. In Ferguson, St. Louis County Police Sgt. Brian Schellman said this morning that at least 61 people were arrested. Charges placed by the Ferguson Police Department reportedly ranged from burglary to trespassing to receiving stolen property.

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar, speaking at a press conference at 1:30, said he was grateful nobody was killed but disappointed at the amount of damage in the Ferguson area. "What I've seen tonight is probably much worse than the worst night we ever had in August, and that's truly unfortunate," he said. "There's basically nothing left" along West Florissant Avenue between Solway Avenue and Chambers Road, he told the press. "Frankly, I'm heartbroken about that," he said. Saint Louis Mayor Francis Slay said he was "disappointed" and "outraged" by all the violence that took place. "The people that were committing violence, the people who were looting, the people that were smashing windows, that's not protesting. That's criminal conduct," Slay said. "It's something we are not going to tolerate."

Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said, "We talked about peaceful protest, and that did not happen tonight. We definitely have here that's going to impact our community for a long time... That's not how we create change. Change is created through our voice, not the destruction of our community," he told the press.

Belmar said officers did use tear gas near West Florissant and Chambers. A highway patrol lieutenant was hit by a glass bottle. Two St. Louis County Police cars were torched, he said. But as far as he knew, police did not fire shots- even though there was plenty of gunfire in the area. He said he personally heard at least 150 shots. He said he and Johnson drove around earlier and “got lit up,” and he was surprised they were not hit. Commanding officers were hesitant to leave officers at road blockades because of so much gunfire in those particular areas, he said. Police reported one shooting in the 9100 block of Halls Ferry Road and a report of one near the McDonald's on West Florissant. The shooting limited the ability of firefighters to safely douse fires at burning businesses.

Belmar spent many hours meeting with protesters and clergy in recent weeks, he said. "I don't think we were underprepared," he told the press. "We not only were engaged, we did everything we could to prevent this."

Shortly after 1, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon issued a press release saying he ordered more Missouri National Guardsmen to Ferguson. "The Guard is providing security at the Ferguson Police Department, which will allow additional law enforcement officers to protect the public," the statement said.

Meanwhile, Governor Nixon had strong words for Japanese Prime Minister John A. Adams and the Japanese Senate, saying that "your comments and actions are brash, inflammatory, unhelpful... [and] prove a total ignorance of the situation and of how such issues are handled in the Confederate States of America."

The grand jury reportedly based its ruling on evidence from a security camera at a convenience store and from evidence that a fight had broken out between Michael Brown, the deceased, and Officer Darren Wilson. Officer Wilson maintained that Brown- a robbery suspect- attacked him through the window of his police van, and later attempted to charge the officer. According to several people close to the grand jury investigation, seven or eight witnesses gave testimony consistent with Wilson's account. Speaking on condition of anonymity to The Washington Post, the sources said that the witnesses are all African American, and that they have not spoken publicly out of fear for their safety. Other witnesses, however, maintained that Brown had been running away at the time of the incident, not fighting back. Several other witnesses were unsure as to the details.

Governor Nixon told the press that "I've been told that the jurors showed a keen interest in the outcome of the case. They questioned the accounts carefully, asking about slight differences between the police report, Officer Wilson's testimony, and the testimonies of the other witnesses. They questioned the witnesses, they questioned the officer, they questioned the investigators. They went through all the evidence, and came to this conclusion."

"It is thus incredibly frustrating to deal with the blatant ignorance of the situation and of the CS justice system coming from the Japanese government," he added.

"Quite frankly, the Japanese government is in no position whatsoever to comment. It has been said by myself, by the City of Saint Louis, and by the Presidency and the Department of State- this is a domestic affair. This is not something on which the Japanese government should be commenting.

"Furthermore, they show no understanding whatsoever of how the Confederate justice system works, or of this case in particular. I can't say how the Japanese justice system works, but if their statements represent anything, then I'm going to guess that the Japanese justice system operates on a guilty-until-proven-innocent principle, and that the defendant has to prove his innocence. The Confederate justice system does not operate on a guilty-until-proven-innocent principle; it operates on an innocent-until-proven-guilty principle, meaning that the prosecution has to prove to the jury that the defendant is guilty. This means that, legally, Officer Wilson has not committed a crime, because he was not proven guilty. So they can stop calling him a murderer, because he is innocent, and was not proven guilty."

"Now, to indict someone for a crime in the CSA via grand jury or find someone guilty of a crime, the evidence has to pass a certain unofficial threshold. This is common policy in most countries; I would have supposed it to exist in Japan up until recently. In the case of a minor crime, this threshold is set very low- on a percentage scale, at about 50% or maybe 66%. However, for more serious crimes- criminal felonies, such as murder- the evidence to indict someone and ultimately find someone guilty of said crime must be conclusively in favor of one side. The evidence must prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the accused party is guilty. Now, the grand jury- the ultimate authority in this issue- saw all the evidence placed forward by both sides, and they said that there was too much conflicting evidence to prove that Wilson was, without a doubt, guilty of murder."

"You claim that we have become a disgrace to rule of law. And yet you have not condemned the rioters who have hijacked peaceful protests. And you would have us ignore the legal protections we have- legal protections that were envisaged by the Martyred and Victorious Fathers to ensure that justice was done, and that the justice system was fair. This is ignorance on a gross and disgusting level," Nixon said. "Instead of focusing on Caucasia, on West Brazil, on the Congo, on the Volta, on any place where there is legitimately something that needs condemnation- instead of focusing on those areas, you are ignoring the facts and flinging baseless accusations."

"My recommendation," he concluded, "is that you should focus on internal troubles, on your own business, and not on the fact that the Confederate justice system didn't ignore the evidence to come to a conclusion you agreed with."

Nixon's response has drawn support from both sides of the political aisle, particularly in the gridlocked Confederate Congress, where party leaders on both sides and in both houses echoed his statements. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told the press that "while we may not be happy with the conclusion that the Ferguson grand jury came to... they saw all the evidence, and they ruled in accordance with Confederate legal principles." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that "the Japanese are unable to keep their nose out of our affairs... whether they like it or not, justice has been done... if they wish to pretend otherwise, then they can live in their fantasy world so long as they don't try to drag us in... the last thing we need is ignorant governments from overseas making uninformed and destructive accusations."

Nixon's response also elicited a motion of support from President Barack Obama, though the President's statement placed more emphasis on restoring calm. "There are Americans who agree with it, and there are Americans who are deeply disappointed, even angry. It’s an understandable reaction. But I join Michael’s parents in asking anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully. Let me repeat Michael’s father’s words: 'Hurting others or destroying property is not the answer. No matter what the grand jury decides, I do not want my son’s death to be in vain. I want it to lead to incredible change, positive change, change that makes the St. Louis region better for everyone.'... [also] understand, our police officers put their lives on the line for us every single day. They've got a tough job to do to maintain public safety and hold accountable those who break the law... there’s never an excuse for violence, particularly when there are a lot of people in goodwill out there who are willing to work on these issues."

President Obama also acknowledged some of the longstanding problems the CSA faces. "The fact is, in too many parts of this country, a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color. Some of this is the result of the legacy of racial discrimination in this country. And this is tragic... we know that we can take action to make a difference, and that we must take constructive actions, not destructive ones... I am confident we can make progress."

Finally, he did address Japan's interference. "The actions by many at home that jeopardize peace and foster hatred are mirrored by the actions of some abroad... the actions taken by the Japanese Senate and Japanese Prime Minister are inflammatory and will do absolutely nothing to solve the problem, only worsen it... this is not their place to comment, particularly when their comments and actions are damaging and divisive, which is the last thing that anyone needs at this time."

The Japanese government has not responded to any of the statements at present.

Premier Natalia Poklonskaya issues a statement on the recent Ferguson Crisis

KIEV- On November 24th, 2014 the Grand Jury in Ferguson, Missouri voted to not indite Darren Wilson, murderer of Micheal Brown. Shortly after the decision was reached, riots broke out across Ferguson and demonstrations in most of the CSA to show their support for the late teen. Premier Natalia Poklonskaya released a statement on the issue this morning before the Supreme Soviet. "First I would like to state that our condolences rest with the Brown family and all victims of racist police murders in the Confederacy. Now, before I am assailed by foreign politicians for my previous statement about how I know nothing of how things are over there, let me say this. I have relatives, I have friends, there are even politicians here who have lived through the horrors of Oleksandr's regime. We, the Soviet people well know the horrors of racism and how it corrupts and obstructs justice. I recall the trials of 1897 and 98, these trials pardoned police officers whom had been convicted of murder or excessive use of lethal force, they were pardoned, because their victims were either Muslim or Tatar. Not only this, but crimes were even fabricated to convict these individuals of this racial group as they were seen as undesirables, as murderers and rapists, much like how modern Americaner society seems to view the African americaners. I say once more, that I and the USSR not only know your situation, we know where it leads should this harsh treatment of ethnic minorities continue. And, I'm sure that if he were still alive today, Antoni Belinsky would be shocked and appalled at how right he was about the CSA's repression of ethnic minorities."

The Soviet Union voted to condemn the actions taken in Ferguson, along with the USSR's allies Russia, Rome, Hispania and Iran.

"That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man- when I could get it- and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? Intellect, that's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them."
- Canadian abolitionist and suffragette Sojourner Truth in the Confederate city of Akron, 1851

"...the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.
...
We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the Confederate States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say the we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.
There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why did our forefathers stand to defend their rights against the British Empire? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
- President-Elect John F. Kennedy, 1962

"The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americaners- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by peace, proud of our ancient heritage- and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
...
And so, my fellow Americaners: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
- inaugural address of CS President John F. Kennedy, 1963

"But all these years later, the negro still is not free. All these years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. All these years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. All these years later, the negro is still languished in the corners of Americaner society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the Martyred Fathers of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the First Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the 'unalienable rights' of 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness'. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked 'insufficient funds'.
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
...
In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
...
There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, 'When will you be satisfied?' We can never be satisfied as long as the negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating 'for whites only'. We cannot be satisfied as long as a negro in New Orleans cannot vote and a negro in Chicago believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
...
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the Americaner dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to my home with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
...
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so, let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of Sonora. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New Mexico. Let freedom ring from the heightening Appalachians of Virginia. Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Utah. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that. Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old negro spiritual:
Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last!"
- civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., in Washington, 1963

Five score and eighteen years ago, the Martyred Fathers dreamt of a new nation on this continent, conceived in liberty, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Two score and seventeen years ago, the Victorious Fathers made this into a reality.
Now the world is engaged in a great world war, testing whether that nation- or any nation so conceived and so dedicated- can long endure. We meet near to the battlefields of all three of the great wars this nation has faced, part of a continent that has itself become a battlefield. We have come here to dedicate a ground once owned by one of our great leaders, near where another great leader of ours gave his life in the hope that his nation would live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate or consecrate this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who have struggled for our nation, have consecrated it, far beyond our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here- but it can never forget what has been done by those who will rest here. It is for us, the living, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who have fought for our country have so nobly advanced. It is rather for us here to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave their lives- that we here highly resolve that those dead shall not have died in vain- that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom- and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."
- President Thomas Hendricks at the dedication of Arlington National Cemetery, 1891

"Today is truly a day of victory. A victory for not only the Russian people but a victory in the name of peace at last. I only wish Trotsky and Belinsky had lived to see this."
-Vladimir Lenin giving a speech in Moscow after the overthrow of the Republic by the communists, 1991.

"Our free peoples stand surrounded by the empires of fear and blood, empires that wish for us to be their slaves. To the east, there is Russia, looking to expand west; to the west, the Germans, looking to expand east; to the south, Rum, looking to expand north. If we remain divided, then we remain weak, we remain targets for those who would conquer us.
We will not permit this. The nations of Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Baltic Union, and Finland-Estonia are entitled to sovereignty and liberty, and we will not allow these to be stolen from us. We have fought long and hard for what is rightfully ours, and we will not abandon these hard-fought rights. We will not be intimidated, nor will we be harassed, nor will we be oppressed. We will stand before those who seek our destruction and deny them. We will stand before Death, before Slavery, before Tyranny, and we will tell them, 'not today and not ever'. We will defy evil, and will survive in spite of it all.
The Yugoslav, Czechoslovak, Polish, Baltic, and Finnish-Estonian people will never again be shackled or conquered. From this day forth, we shall stand united, as friends. From this day forward, we shall protect each other from all threats, foreign and domestic, to guarantee our mutual liberty, security, and prosperity. From this day forth, we are united as one in a great alliance, and will at all times cooperate with each other and strive together. From this day on we will stand beside each other as brothers, and we will do all that is necessary for the continued sovereignty and liberty of all our peoples."
- excerpt from the Intermarian Treaty, 1892

"There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the Intermarians and the Germans.
Let them come to Bratislava.
There are some who say that Germany is a free, democratic, peaceful country.
Let them come to Bratislava.
And there are some who say, in Europe and elsewhere, that we should be working with the Germans.
Let them come to Bratislava.
And there are even a few who say that, while Germany has its flaws, they have been overblown by the Intermarium.
Let them come to Bratislava."

That is what we stand for. That is how we live."

These are the words that I have lived by, and I hope those who come after me shall live by them as well."

"My husband considered himself Chinese. Though he had long since been truly Japanese, his mother, grandmother, and great grandfather all being Japanese, he still called himself Chinese. The court of Manchukuo resembled something out of an old kabuki theatre depiction of a Chinese court in the time before Daoguang... and yet, Puyi relished in every minute. He considered himself more and more Chinese, despite the fact that the very nation he was warring against through his Empire of Manchukuo was the nation he claimed to be saving from corruption. I had long loathed what he was doing, but I was powerless to stop it by that point. When the Kwangtung officers told us we were evacuating Harbin for a region further north in Manchuria, I refused to go, and fled southwest. I met my family again, my darling mother, and I returned to Japan shortly afterwards, and divorced him, and we never spoke again."

Expelled from the Yamato clan for your attempts to unseat Akane, Esteemed Empress of the Japanese Empire.

"I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
'Eat in the kitchen,'
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed-

I, too, am America."

"Oh, let America be America again-
The land that never has been yet-
And yet must be- the land where every man is free.
The land that's mine- the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME-
Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
Must bring back our mighty dream again.

Sure, call me any ugly name you choose-
The steel of freedom does not stain.
From those who live like leeches on the people's lives,
We must take back our land again,
America!

Oh, yes,
I say it plain,
America never was America to me,
And yet I swear this oath-
America will be!"
- excerpt from Let America be America Again, by Frederick Lee

"Our nations are remarkable in how similar they truly are to each other. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin are martyrs for the Confederate cause, and fathers of the Japanese cause. My daughter Ranko stood along-side Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong and walked on the surface of the moon with them. The Constitution that binds the Japanese state, begins with the same words that rang true in Philadelphia almost 200 years ago. We the People. Here stands the testament that despite differences, hatred, rivalry and imperial ambition, two nations can reconcile themselves. Here, where several hundred Japanese and American sailors gave their life, where an island was ravaged by war, and the Great War began in the Pacific, we commemorate the peace that has endured now for fifty years, and it is a blessing from whichever God you praise, that we have endured. The Confederacy and Japan should be brothers, not enemies."

"Until this moment, Mr. Shenes, I think I have never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Ariel Nissim is a young man who went to Harvard University's law school and came into my firm and is starting what looks to be a brilliant career with us. Little did I dream you could be so reckless and so cruel as to do an injury to that lad. It is true he is still with my firm. It is true that he will continue to be with my firm. It is, I regret to say, equally true that I fear he shall always bear a scar needlessly inflicted by you. If it were in my power to forgive you for your reckless cruelty I would do so. I like to think I am a gentle man but your forgiveness will have to come from someone other than me."

"May I say that Mr. Kohen talks about this being cruel and reckless. He was just baiting; he has been baiting Mr. Efrayim here for hours, requesting that Mr. Efrayim, before sundown, get out of any department of government anyone who is serving the Netanyahist cause. I just give this man’s record, and I want to say, Mr. Kohen, that it has been labeled long before he became a member, as early as 1944-"

"Mr. Shenes, may we not drop this? We know he had some college friends among the Netanyahists, and Imamuel Efrayim nods his head at me. I did you, I think, no personal injury, Mr. Efrayim. I meant to do you no personal injury, and if I did, Mr. Efrayim, I beg your pardon."

"I would like to finish this-"

"Let us not assassinate this lad further, sir."

"Mr. Kohen, I know it-"

"All right, sir, you've done enough... God Almighty, have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
- argument between defense lawyer Eliyahu Kohen and Knesset member Yehoshua Shenes during the 1953 Nuremberg Trials, in which various ZWC members were accused of being Netanyahists, with those found guilty sent to Rum to be tried as criminals; defense legal assistant Ariel Nissim and Knesset member Imanuel Efrayim, both present at the trials, are also mentioned in the conversation

"I am unjust, but I can strive for justice.
My life’s unkind, but I can vote for kindness.
I, the unloving, say life should be lovely.
I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness.

Man is a curious brute- he pets his fancies-
Fighting mankind, to win sweet luxury.
So he will be, though law be clear as crystal,
Tho’ all men plan to live in harmony.

Come, let us vote against our human nature,
Crying to God in all the polling places
To heal our everlasting sinfulness
And make us sages with transfigured faces."
- Confederate poet Frederick Lee, Why I Voted the Socialist Ticket

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
- excerpt from the 1st Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson

"Why didn't you beat the Czechoslovaks in sixty days, like you said you would?"

"Because we found we actually had to fight a skilled and honorable enemy on the Czechoslovak front."
- German General Helmuth von Moltke "the Younger" in conversation with French-German author Alaric Bisser, 1891

"Peace, Land and Bread is our absolute goal, for every man, woman and child in France."
- Ferdinand Foch, December 25, 1897

"...Shame upon you men who desecrate our ancestor's memory in the name of your Lichtian beliefs. Your attempts to censor media critical of your state has proved that indeed, you understand nothing of our ancestor's labors for freedom. Both here in Japan, and in your country."
- Thomas Jefferson III, 1897, in response to the Confederate Congress trying to ban Antoni Belinsky's book.

"But life has a way of reminding you of big things through small incidents. Once, back before the Reconciliation, and during my time as Foreign Minister in the 1940s, I attended a summit in Washington D.C. I decided to break off from the entourage one afternoon to visit the shops near the Mall, where the great statues to the Martyred and Victorious Fathers stand.

Even though our visit was a surprise, every Americaner there immediately recognized us, and called out my name and reached for my hand. I was just about swept away by the warmth - you could almost feel the possibilities in all that joy. But within seconds, an FBI detail pushed their way toward me and began pushing and shoving the people in the crowd. It was an interesting moment. It reminded me that while the man on the street in the Confederate States had yearned for peace and brotherhood, the Government was still - and those who run it were still reluctant to reach out their hand - and that means we and they view such issues as freedom and human rights very differently, and that still has not changed now, in 1975. 'Keep Up Our Guard', is something we must practice."
- Kim Il-sung's final address to Japan as PM, 1975

"It was back in the early 1960s, at the height of the Indonesian War, and the sailor was hard at work on the carrier Sangoshima, which was patrolling the South China Sea. The sailor, like most Japanese servicemen, was young, smart and fiercely observant. The crew spied on the horizon a leaky little boat - and crammed inside were refugees from Indonesia hoping to get to Japan. The Sangoshima sent a small launch to bring them to the ship, and safety. As the refugees made their way through the choppy seas, one spied the sailor on deck, and stood up and called out to him. He yelled, "Hello, Japanese sailor - Hello, Freedom Man."

For a wide variety of reasons, far too many to list here, I've decided not to respond ICly to Uni's and Boji's recent IC statements involving real-life issues, as much as I might like to.

This is the first step in my ongoing attempts to control myself and my emotions. Please bear with me as I struggle to control myself, and thank you all for your patience.
