The woman on the left begins to speak. "People of Urlistan, if you receive this you do not need me to tell you that we have entered dark and desperate times. The Capitalists corporations have overrun our homes and sold us as property to the imperial FASCists while they torture our friends and families in Arasland and Calendôr and defile our beautiful country in their search for profit."
The man chimes in. "Some of you may know my sister, Sarah Green, for her work as a member of parliament in the rightful government of the Green Union. She, along with most of parliament, had fled to Placeoderms at the last minute to escape the Capitalists."
"And my brother is best known as Colonel Fred Green of the Loyalist Armed Forces, who was on the front lines fighting the Capitalists until the battle for the island of guard was lost. We are here now to announce the creation of the next phase of this struggle; the creation of a resistance."
The woman leans forward, splaying her hands on the table in a jesture of authority. Her eyes seem to penetrate the screen. "The Patriotic Amlug Resistance is an organizing body for the emerging civil disobedience movement which will, inevitably, force the restoration of the Amlug way of life in Urlistan and secure the strength and support for the restoration of the Green Union as a whole. Our goals are indistinguishable from the goals entrenched in the hearts of every free Amlug person:
- Restore the flag of free Urlistan
- Restore the denonym of our people, and do away with the term 'Urlistani'
- Change the name 'Capitol' to the proper English 'Capital'
- Restore control of the means of production to the workers of Urlistan
- Locate King Wolfe VI, and restore him as king of Urlistan
- Remove the Arcadian garrison from Urlistan
- Remove the perversion of the NTDF and restore the AMG militia
- Leave FASC
- Take back the Green Union and reforge the union"
Sarah Green continues to stare directly at the camera, but her expression changes to one of almost warmth. She cups her mug in her hand almost tenderly, like a small animal or a family heirloom. Her brother takes his turn to stare down the viewer, and a subtle but unmistakable flicker plays across his face which leaves no doubt that he means the words he is about to say. "The PAR will do what it can to remain a movement of nonviolence, but will not hesitate to use force to stop the war crimes commonly carried out by the FASCist empire. This I say to the governments of Arcadia and its puppets, including the lapdogs sitting in Warm Bay, put in place by an election in the middle of civil war which had no chance of being free or fair. You cannot hold down the people of Urlistan forever. One way or another, be it through violence or nonviolence, you will be forced to accept a free Urlistan. You may imprison us, kill us, and keep us in forced labour. You may bombard our children with your propaganda and force us at gunpoint out of gatherings which scare you. In the end it will be up to you to explain your wastes of money and human life to the voting public . . . unless you rig your elections at home as well."
The video ends with a quick fade out to an image of the flag of old Urlistan.
A website for the emerging group (whose link was located with the video) includes a detailed manifesto of the PAR's aims and limited situations for applying violence to achieve them. A crowdfunding page for the group has already collected over
