To: Everyone in Stuttgart - Printable Version

Rheinland Military, Rheinland Police, Marinenachrichtendienst, Synth Foods Inc. , Orbital Spa and Cruise, Republican Shipping, Daumann Heavy Construction, Krüger Mineralien and any other coorperate or independent entity present in the Stuttgart System,

Rheinland's time is up! After the Imperial coup d'état, there is nothing left to save in this rotten system! Synth Foods Inc.'s presence is still eating up the last remaining bits of free land in the hands of Rheinland's farmer's. Even though most got evicted by now and the conflict came to an end in your eyes, we, the farmers, children of the WVS are still here.

While you may have forgotten about us, we have not forgotten about you. This system belongs to the people of Rheinland! Despite our network having gone silent for years, the return of the Landwirtrechtbewegung is upon us!

After all the suffering caused by the Imperial war machine, a new era of hope is dawning in Stuttgart. With support for the LWB at an all-time high and popularity of the Imperial Military at an all-time low, the so-called self-proclaimed Empire of Rheinland has no choice other than to cave in to our demands! Our unparalleled zeal to fight back the oppressors of Stuttgart proves the superiority of our movement over the hollow Military of the corporate scourges.

You have walked all over us for decades: dispersing crowds, disbanding organizations, dismantling ships and disrespecting Stuttgart, its people and the WVS. It now became clear to us that we are fighting the root of all evil in Rheinland. We are fighting the Imperialists, corrupt lobbyists and the blood-soaked Synth Paste.

Our R&D department dedicated to agricultural research scientifically established the following health risks involved when consuming Synth Foods, Inc. products. So think twice about who you support. This research is based solely on empirical data that was leaked to us by sympathetic medical personnel on Planet Stuttgart. Its validity is confirmed and proven. We have data of 2304 patients, but in reality probably many more are affected. Herein you will find some examples. Rheinland does not want you to see this:

SUBJECT: Re: Stuttgart System - Response to Message

Dear LWB,

We acknowledge your concerns and understand the depth of your feelings. We recognize the challenges faced by the farmers and the people of Stuttgart. However, it is important to remember that change must be brought about through peaceful and lawful means.

We are open to dialogue and discussions to address your concerns. We believe that every voice matters and should be heard. However, the rule of law must be upheld, and any actions taken must be within the framework of our constitution and laws.

We are committed to ensuring the welfare of all inhabitants of the Stuttgart System. We are willing to work together to find solutions that are fair and beneficial to all parties involved.

We urge you to engage in peaceful dialogue and to work with us towards a better future for Stuttgart and Rheinland.

Regarding your demands, we have received them and understand the gravity of the issues you’ve raised. However, it’s important to remember that we are a society governed by laws and principles. Here’s a more detailed response to each of your points:

Amnesty and Release: The unconditional amnesty and release of all LWB associates and prisoners is a complex issue. Every individual is subject to the rule of law, and any charges against them must be addressed through our legal system. We cannot bypass this process, as it would undermine the principles of justice and fairness that our society is built upon.
De-Militarization: The presence of law enforcement and military in the Stuttgart System is not intended as a show of force against any particular group, but rather to ensure the safety and security of all its inhabitants. Their removal could potentially lead to a power vacuum and instability, which would be detrimental to everyone in the system.
Synth Foods, Inc. and Interspace Commerce: Actions against these entities must be based on legal grounds and solid evidence of wrongdoing. We cannot arbitrarily declare them as enemies of the state or expel them without due process. This would go against our commitment to fairness and the rule of law.
WVS Reinstatement: We understand the historical and economic importance of WVS to the local economy. We are open to discussions about its future role and how it can contribute positively to the Stuttgart System. However, any financial reparations would need to be evaluated carefully, taking into consideration various factors such as the impact on the economy and the precedent it would set.
Revocation of Royal Titles and Autonomy: These are constitutional matters that require careful deliberation and consultation with various stakeholders. They cannot be decided unilaterally or hastily. We must consider the long-term implications of such actions.
Closure of the Cologne-Gate: This would have significant implications for trade and travel, affecting not just the Stuttgart System, but potentially other systems as well. Such a decision cannot be taken lightly and would need to be based on a thorough assessment of its potential impact.
Stuttgart Autonomy: Granting Stuttgart its own constitution, police force, and military are significant constitutional changes that would require careful consideration and consultation with various stakeholders. They are beyond the jurisdiction of the Polizei and would need to be addressed at a higher level of government.

We are committed to maintaining peace and order in the Stuttgart System. We invite LWB to engage in peaceful dialogue to address these issues. Resorting to violence and criminal activities will not resolve these issues but will only lead to more conflict and suffering.

We recognize the challenges faced by the farmers and the people of Stuttgart. However, it is important to remember that change must be brought about through peaceful and lawful means.

We are open to dialogue and discussions to address your concerns. We believe that every voice matters and should be heard. However, the rule of law must be upheld, and any actions taken must be within the framework of our constitution and laws.

We, the KPR and the Rheinland government, in collaboration with research institutions, will indeed take note of these concerning health issues associated with the consumption of Synth Paste. The cases presented are undoubtedly alarming and necessitate careful evaluation. However, when assessing the broader context, it's important to consider the following factors:

Incidence vs. Prevalence: While the reported cases highlight severe health consequences for those individuals, it's essential to determine the prevalence of such cases within the entire population of Synth Paste consumers. The mere presence of isolated cases may not necessarily indicate a widespread problem.
Causation vs. Correlation: Establishing a direct causal link between Synth Paste consumption and these health issues requires rigorous scientific investigation. It's possible that other factors or pre-existing conditions contributed to these health problems. A thorough examination of each case is necessary to discern any causative relationships.
Risk Management: The relative risk associated with Synth Paste consumption should be evaluated. In other words, it's important to weigh the potential harm against the benefits of Synth Paste, including its role in providing sustenance to a significant portion of the population.
Product Safety: The safety of consumer products, including Synth Paste, is of paramount concern. The Rheinland government will intensify its oversight to ensure that Synth Foods, Inc. complies with safety standards and regulations. Independent investigations, including those by research institutions, will be crucial in assessing the product's safety profile.
Regulatory Response: Depending on the findings of ongoing investigations, regulatory changes may be warranted. The government and the KPR will consider implementing measures to mitigate any risks associated with Synth Paste consumption while safeguarding the interests of the population.

In summary, these health issues warrant our utmost attention, but a comprehensive and evidence-based approach is necessary to formulate an appropriate response. We will closely monitor the situation and collaborate with experts to determine the best course of action to ensure the health and well-being of our citizens while maintaining the balance of a reliable food source.

END OF THE MESSAGE

Hello, Mr. uh.... Richter

Uh...uh is this thing on?
Oh it is!

Hi, my name is Tommy McDaniels...oh I probably shouldn't have told a bunch of terrorists my na- wait...
Oh no I shouldn't call you terrorists that might offend you...

Freedom Fighters?

Fellow Farmers?

Angry Farmers?

I...uh, ok so I just wanted to say that I do work for Synth Foods but its not because I want to. My grandparents were Libertonian and Bretonian Immigrants living on Stuttgart and we owned a small plot of land but Synth came in and bought us out. Mama always said even though her dad would be disappointed it pays the bills. Well, Pa said I had to get a job and when the Synth Foods guys showed up a few months ago to pick up our crop he asked if they were hiring. When they said yes he immediately called me down and next thing I know I am flying a...oh what is this thing called...uh...

Picks up a book called "A Travelers Pocket Guide to Space Travel: Ships, Systems, and More"

Oh right a "Sunburst" freighter.

I just wanted to uh...say that what you are saying sounds good and I kind of agree to an extent but I really hope you are not planning on hurting people...there are a lot of good farmers down here on Stuttgart and while some of us work for Synth a lot of us only do it because we have to. I would go so far as to call myself an agent of chaos, well there was that time I accidently wrecked the family tractor but that was an accident and after a visit to the vet Old Bessy was fine (She was our cow, emphasis on was, Mama made a delicious meatloaf out of her when we finally put her out of her misery)

Well that's it...I guess stay safe and good luck? Should I be wishing good luck to a bunch of teror- oh there I go again...yeah I am just gonna end this here.

Bye
