In Search of Freedom
Posted: Sun Oct 04, 2009 5:01 am
For Immediate Release:
As a Gallenteean, freedom and the right to choose have been ideas which I've heard about since childhood, but never quite understood. Living a comfortable life safely within the borders of the Federation, I never had to wonder what life would be like without the rights and privilidges afforded to me by virtue of nothing more than circumstances of my birth. When I became a capsuleer and sought employment in Metropolis, that changed.
We have all heard of the billions of souls enslaved by the Amarr empire, but there is a difference between glossing over a news item and seeing a mother dragged away from her screaming children before your very eyes. Innumerable human beings- no different from you or I except for place of origin- live under whip and lash, without hope. Their centuries of struggle against their tormentors have been met with indifference, token gestures, and lip service from those who already enjoy the freedom the Minmatar slaves so strongly desire. Our governments clearly intend no real action on this issue, now or in the forseeable future. Meanwhile, the Amarr empire continues to flourish and enjoy free and unrestricted trade and interaction with the rest of the world, their unspeakable crimes remaining a pink elephant which all see and none acknowledge. Slavery will continue as long as the hearts and minds of the people of the world are indifferent to it. Our political figures and news media have no desire to bring attention to this issue, so the responsibility falls to us. We will force the people of New Eden to focus their eyes on the suffering that happens right in front of them every day.
From this day forward, we will disrupt activity in Amarr space as much as possible. Anyone making use of the natural resources in Amarr or working for the empire will find themselves in our crosshairs. If you engage in activity that supports or abets the slavery of human beings, you will find your property destroyed, your escape pod under fire, your trade routes under fire, and your markets disrupted by people like us who are willing to risk our lives so that others may enjoy the freedom we take for granted.
The Hand of Maak continues to strike.
