THE MAJORITY REPORT: FEBRUARY 20TH, 2016

SEA OF RED
As seen national newspapers. ImPort access will be censored:
USSR ATTACKS IMPORT CITIES!

President Freemason has issued a national emergency as USSR forces have initiated coup tactics in the four imPort cities of Heropa, Nonah, De Chima, and Maurtia Falls. She has been in crisis meeting with Homeland Security, who claim that the whole department had been blindsided. Fingers point at Defense Secretary Sublime. Sublime has been indicted and will stand trial when [censored]

[censored]

[censored]
has implored use of Article 5.

SOCIAL JUST US WARRIORS
As seen reblogged on Rumblr, Instagraham, and Bwitter. ImPort access will be censored:
Fiery criticism has rained down upon a couple of national celebrities who question the point of maintaining imPorts when the USSR can use them to attack this very nation. While pushback was immediate and intense, the leader of this dialogue, [censored], is not without his followers. His outlandish and often inflammatory anti-imPort remarks have gained fringe political traction.

NATIONWIDE INSURANCE
As seen on BlueTube:
Video footage of residents within the states of those imPort cities has been uploaded. Most are fleeing, aided by armed local state police escort. When one fleeing Floridian resident notes that there are no Heropean police (as Heropa was located in the bordering county), a state trooper responds that there may never be again.

WILL ANONS NEVER CEASE
As seen from the mysterious, anonymous columnist CEASE-FIRE'S publication in underground publications and encrypted blogs:
Hello again, readers. A lot has changed since I wrote last, and while I can't say I was expecting things to go south that quickly it's hard to call it wholly surprising either. This conflict's been building up a long while, but active war always catches you unprepared if you aren't the one declaring it. Sometimes even if you are.

Things are far from hopeless, mind. ImPorts and the native folks alike have come back from worse than this. Cleaned up bigger messes. Your safety and America's alike are far from in bad shape entirely, but the only way out of this is cooperation.

Since last time, one reader's written in with:

"I would be very interested to know precisely why so much information regarding the previous military government has been, as you put it, purged since the change in regimes. One would expect that a nation turning towards democracy would have embraced far more transparency in its history... at least, if that turn was indeed genuine."


I'd think the answer would be clear already, but in case it isn't: You can't be transparent about information you don't have. It wasn't the democratic government that purged the data from the previous government's tenure, it was the people who had access to that data in the first place; members of that government who didn't want to be identified, or for their criminal misdeeds jeopardizing their future careers. You imPorts wouldn't know it, but a good many "politicians" at that time, if we could call them that, were never known publicly by their real identity. The ratio of those who were caught and those who were never identified stands at about 40/60.

Writing on the subject, or documenting it in any way that wasn't simply regular news reporting, was illegal during that time. I'm sure there are people who remember everything in perfect clarity, but any accounts written after the fact would be unverifiable. People believed with absolute certainty all kinds of information that turned out not to be true. We were brainwashed to believe our leaders knew best, we remembered things we never experienced and to this day some people still don't know if their memories are actually theirs. Those that know for sure may not want to revisit them.

That's not to say there isn't information out there to be recovered. It's possible. It would only be a matter of finding the people who would have held onto it.

That being said, I will close by reiterating what I said last month: No government is ever transparent until they need to be. None. And unfortunately, it doesn't matter how entitled you as citizens are, or feel you are, to the information.

Questions, comments, and other contact can be sent to CEASEFIRE@CCHEROPA.GOV. I will respond the 20th of each month.

своё свобода доклад: FEBRUARY 20TH, 2016


FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INFORMATION
As seen reported in "international news and major national newspapers":
The USSR has asserted its legal claim over the imPort cities. Intent on liberating the imPorts from their American captors, the USSR is in the process of offering immediate health care and counseling for the traumatized imPorts. Housing and basic needs will be fulfilled. The insatiable classist division between "Registered" and "Unsettled" imPorts will be demolished. There is only equality to be found under the guidance of the USSR. There is only peace.

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS:
As heard on "Public Radio":
Hello, listeners. It is I, Cease-Fire. That is what I have called myself, but my real name is Daniel Froth. I have come to you today to publicly confess my sins and my lies. I am no friend to imPorts. I seek to lure imPorts with implications of friendship, but only because I want to use their powers for my own commerce. I have sought to mislead you for my own personal gain. But I repent, and I have been shown mercy. In gratitude of that mercy, I beseech you to ignore and boycott my previous ranting and ravings. I urge you to burn any copies of my words, and to erase any evidence of my rhetoric. I will not disrupt society any longer.

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF IMPORT CARETAKING:
As seen on local imPort city news in all respective cities:
All is well. There is no fear. There is no hunger. There is no hate.

CODE SWITCH
The Homeland Security Advisory System has moved from DAWN to COMRADE RED because in Soviet Russia, code switches YOU!

[Chilton returns closer to midnight, and he is released in the haze of that early morning on Sunday. He's been exported since the first breath of the coup, which left him only the early warning signs to glean, and now the prodigal son feels like he is missing years.]

The answer is quite simple, really. We are now free. imPorts will no longer be weaponized by the United States military. Now, our Soviet friends have provided us with the training and education we require to reach our full potential.

You should rejoice, Doctor. We have seen the dawn of a new era. Together, we shall build a better world.

[ Carl is so scared right now you wouldn't believe it.

If it was anyone else he would have faked a smile and cheered and show off his stupid uniform but this is Kaneki's sister and this is absolutely terrible.

He really really wants to try Dad's beer in the fridge now. ]

[ Carl has developed some reservations about Chilton lately, although a lot of stemmed from that one text exchanged while Carl was held hostage and not from an anonymous book burning. He was wondering where Chilton was the entire time - that maybe he managed to escape. ]



Where the hell have you been?


[ And then Carl realizes only one possibility - ]

are you kidding me the fucking porter took you away when it all started didn't it

Not all of Heropa's police officers are gone. Some of us are still here.

Russia invaded, and everything else went pbbthhthhhh.

[Yes, that's a fart noise. It seems fitting.]

This is the one time it probably woulda been better to be ported out longer. That is what happened, right? You got ported out?

Well, yes. I mean, I was here for the 5:00 news that one day, I had rushed home in anticipation of Raina. I stepped out, only briefly, for an interview.

And that was it.

Carl, what has been going on?

I was ported out, yes. Not really by choice either way, though my luck seems... Let's just say this isn't surprising irony.

I see that we are still allowed to chat with each other. How long is that going to remain so?

Count Dooku -- forgive my implicit concern, in the event that you find it offensive -- but are you all right? I mean, rather, I had previously considered you a skeptical man.

[From one conversation, of course Chilton thought that valid enough to qualify for a profiling.]

This embrace of... What appears to be our captors... Is hardly what I might expect.
fayzedandconfused: (i want you to know)

[personal profile] fayzedandconfused 2016-02-21 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
I told you...

[ She doesn't really want to play a game of "I told you so" though. For once. Right now, she wants to make sure Chloe knows what she's missing out on. ]

Seriously, Chloe, you need to get back here. It's great. They won't hurt you. You'll be safe.
helladoomed: (Chit chattering)

[personal profile] helladoomed 2016-02-21 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty happy here, kid.

[What a lie.]

You should come visit though, tell me all about it. I'll come back with you then.

Soviets are brainwashing imPorts so they can control them, that's what.


They've been strapping us down and force us to watch videos.

When we aren't doing that, we are doing performance checks
Exercising us
How much we can read a book
Teaching us how to seduce or coerce people.

i've been able to fight off the brainwashing but there's something else that happened while you are gone that I need your help on but that can wait

Get to Mexico. You'll be safe there.
