Kallisti there fellow living residents of the Tau Region and Kusari.
The loss of Freeport XXI was a great loss indeed... but let it be known that it -wasn't- a TAZ base. And by this... I mean that one of our popes decided to make a base... designating it as a Temporary Autonomous Zone... and not as a Temporary Autonomous Zoner Base....
Ladies and gentlemen... there is a difference in the two as the former speaks of the socio-political tactic of creating temporary spaces that elude formal structures of control. A new territory of the moment is created that is on the boundary line of established regions. Any attempt at permanence that goes beyond the moment deteriorates to a structured system that inevitably stifles individual creativity. It is this chance at creativity that is real empowerment.
In Discordianism, we allow this kind of freedom... for our popes to create these special kinds of zones... to allow for the pineal to grow and flourish.
A certain agreement was brokered between the pope in question and the KNF... then that is between the pope and the governing entity. Any rule broken by the pope should face severe consequences such as the fate of the Freeport.
In light of the incident, I personally express my apologies for the behavior of this pope... and as such.. by his own decision has hanged up his robes and forgone the way of Eris..
