Good Evening. Every once in a while, we at
ISN believe it is our duty to tell the truth as we see it. And I've come
before you tonight to tell you that truth. We believe this change of government
to be an undoubtedly terrible mistake for the future of Humanity. Through
this move, Sinclair has sought to solidify his power. No longer will he
answer to you, the masses of citizens, as generations of Earth Alliance
Presidents have. He will answer to no one but himself, and I quote as evidence
from his speech,
"we shall forge an indivisible whole, capitulating only
to a single throne, and on that throne, I shall watch over you"
In that quote Sinclair claims that we will surrender to one throne.
Yes, surrender, capitulation is another term for surrender. And does surrender
not signify our unwillingness? Losers surrender to the victorious in battle,
are we then the losers of a great battle? If that were true, he would be
the victorious! And that is not all, he goes on to say he will watch over
us from that throne. He is obviously inferring that he holds himself above
us, the people. The one indivisible truth about the Earth Alliance was
that we were all equal and on one level. Now he claims to be above us.
Not only does he claim to be victorious against us, he claims to be above
us. Will he answer to the calls of the people? No. He has set himself irrevocably
apart from the people, and in so doing, from the future of humanity.
