I've done more for the American people in seven years than every dip++++ scumbag so-called fairly elected corporate puppet for the past 200-some years our so-called free Democratic America has ever done for anyone. Define morality in today's world. People who claim to be moral cried out when slavery was abolished. Moral people cried out when the women protested in the streets for the right to vote. Moral people cried out when African Americans demanded equality. Moral people still cry out today and call people like myself sick and condemn us to death." "It is also beyond enraging, to me, and to the heroes I've been working with for the past month, and to our nation's bravest and finest law enforcers, who have been working day and night, to locate and rescue an innocent woman from such inhuman and sick abuse under the guise of Christianity, and all you idiots try to imply I'm behind some twisted conspiracy. Hordes of ignorant countries and ignorant leaders act like religion is being persecuted in this nation... because I have defined separation of church and state, because I have made SURE that women and children are protected from some of the most heinous religious practices that result in death, injury and traumas in countries around the world, countries run under fanatic religious national governments. We tried theocratic states hundreds of years ago... I guess everyone forgot what happened back then."

Our governments enjoy taking advantage of our weaknesses as humans to give up everything to feel happy and secure. This world view and acceptance of political correctness is just the contributing factor to the dumbing down of the populous. Humanity, across the globe, must wake up to the unsettling and very real truths and disregard the policy of political correction.... We Are Anonymous, We Are Legion, We Do Not Forgive, We Do Not Forget, Project Mayhem 2012, Expect Us."
 * Today, in a regular meeting with journalist, president of EAJ was asked about the words of President Spencer: "We are all human and we can all understand what it means to lose a loved one. As a person, I can understand that President Spencer is affected and responds from his personal frustration and sadness. However, the responsibility of the ruler has to go beyond their personal feelings and should not allow them to dismiss its capacity to govern. A president can not leave his post for weeks allowing all kinds of speculations arise that are jeopardizing the economy of Everett and therefore the economy of the entire West. Given the uncertainty of not knowing where the president is, what she thought would do investors? How she thought the stock market respond?Personally, and this is not more than a personal opinion, I believe that President Spencer should consider the possibility of resigning and, if not, I guess Everett's legal system provides for the possibility of an impeachment process because I think unfortunately the personal circumstances of the President preclude the possibility of governing the criteria and objectivity necessary. If this occurs in a small country without international weight it would not be so terrible, but when that happens in one of the world powers it endangers us all."
 * A Department of Commerce spokesperson states "there is no sensible reason for anyone to be panicked about economic issues for any reason. The Union of Everett is strong and quite stable."

After walking back into the Prime Ministers Office, Hill stated, "Well, politics can get dirty, I'd have to say it was just another trouble maker, whom was not really part of the protest. I just think its strange how such an large group of people can form after a speech from a foregin government."

 * At deliberations for the Arms Trade Treaty, the Union of Everett threatens to veto the international law if specific content in the treaty threaten the rights of civilian gun owners, both within the Union of Everett or abroad. 2
 * In an odd act of agreement to its old enemy, the Hurian Federation agrees that if the new treaty threatens the gun owners of Huria, some 98% of the population, then Huria too will veto the treaty. Oddly, this comes from a nation that has long defied the UN and its regulations, and has been closed off to the world since the 1970s.

Some missiles are fired off accidentally as a result, but do little damage. Huria quickly withdraws its military from the Vanev-Hurian Conflict in order to protect the core regions. In celebration, the Vanev coalition enters Equatorial Guinea, Sao Tome and Principe, the Central African Republic and Gabon, and new parts of the NAFO Buffer are created. A side effect of the cyber-attack causes blackouts in large parts of Defiance, leaving the Hurian War Council stranded. Two major Vanev/SAC/NAFO/UN forces are deployed: one to secure the islands surrounding Madagascar, and another to directly attack Defiance while the DDP etc. are down and capture the government.
