OOC: This is Angelic Freedom related, and it is open for viewing. If you would like to pose a question to those investigating Smithsilian's involvement, or pose a question to Smithsilian, please TG me first and I will then give you clearance to do so. Thank you very much.

IC

WWA Justice Department

Superior Case #4362.89

Smithsilian has been charged with aiding and abedding either the headquarters of Angelic Freedom and/or Angelician forces. Suspicions have arisen due to Smithsilians previous attitude towards not only Jarridia, but Jarridian allies as well. This is not a formal charge to the Smithsilian Government of terrorism, just the WWA Government bringing said national government to trial for allegations of this cruel act.

Background/Justifications:

Smithsilian has been at war with Jarridia in the past.
In the first set of Angelician attacks, the WWA was a primary target. Out of all of the attacks, both Utcheer and Smithsilian were not attacked.
Word had been recieved that Smithsilian has had communication with Angelic Freedom, yet these documents have yet to be recovered.

The trial will be overseen by WWA President and Jarridian WWA Representative, Marissa Stassin.

"Smithsilian at this time you are charged with aiding a terrorist organization. How do you plead, and will you give the WWA access to any documents, files, tapes or data that may be requested for this trial?"

"I, Donald Smith, Supreme Dictator of Smithsilian, hereby plead not guilty to the charges against myself, and my staff. The WWA delegation is more than welcome to enter the Smithsilian Governmental Mainframe to research this case, and I am more confident that you shall find nothing of the likes. Smithsilian has been a loyal member of the WWA for many, many years. We are quite shocked that we have been brought forward in such a way. However, we welcome the investigation, if only to show how frenzied nations can be and how hurriedly they can point the finger."

"Thank you Dictator Smith. Your eloquence certainly impresses the WWA. We ask that you immediately turnover all communication with Angelic Freedom, and please relinquish your mainframe to Jarridian officials."

OOC: I shall post TG's as I find them.

Smithsilian: Greetings leader of Angelic Freedom. We ask that you spare Smithsilian in your recent attack against WWA nations. Also, we wish of you to not infiltrate Utcheer. We would also ask the same for Jarridia, however it is too late to do that. Both Utcheer and I do not stand for the same principles as other WWA Members, and therefore have no quarrel with you. Please take this into consideration.

Angelic Freedom: Nothin is free Smithsilian. Please state an offer and we shall take you into consideration.

Smithsilian We shall do no such thing. We will never promote terrorism, but maybe we can come to another gift?

Utcheer I say we do what she asks and then just let it drop. We can't be involved if we only do something once. Plus, I have both IC and OOC family relations with her at this moment

Smithsilian Unfortunately Queen Shelby, I cannot in good faith support Terrorism. But you may do as you wish.

Utcheer You have supported Terrorism before have you not? This will be no different. You must do it to save your own citizens. SO what if a few nations get hurt in the process, it isn't that you requested those attacks

Are you implying that Utcheer paid Angelic Forces to not attack her nation, and you had none of this whatsoever?

Not necessarily. Utcheer and Smithsilian came to the mutual decision to not get involved with AF. So I cannot say whether or not she did. I would suppose that she never did get involved at all. However, Smithsilian did pay a total of 3,000,000 USD to Angelic Freedom for her to not attack my citizens.

So you admit to giving her money. Did you ever donate weapons to her cause, or ask her to attack a nation specifically?

Yes, I admit to that. No, no weapons were ever given to AF, nor did I ask her to attack any nation. This was merely a small precautionary measure. I suppose Utcheer was not attacked because the leader of AF is sisters with the Queen of Utcheer. Utcheer and I both had intelligence that attacks would take place, however, we did not know the extent of the damage. We basically asked for safety and then watched. We figured it would be small, so it was dismissed.

OOC: Yes, this was cleared by Jarridia
IC:
Nothing could explain the rage that filled every inch of Mr. Alexander's body, a lawyer and representative from ViZion, a tall, somewhat burley man with sandy-blond hair and a deep tan. His face could have been mistaken as a ripe tomato.

"You mean to tell me that you have paid off the terrorists with three million dollars? Do not try to tell me you did not expect them to use that money to fund their other opperations, as that was a given. You were basicly saying, 'here, take this money and go find some other civilians to slaughter...'

"Four hundred thousand ViZionarians died two days ago. You have aided them. What do you have to say for your self, huh? WHAT?"

Mr. Alexander fuming even more by the end of his little rage-filled question, and stood there, glaring at the Smithsilian to answer. He was shaking from anger, and you could almost see the steam coming from his head.

What happened in ViZion and around the world was indeed a tragedy. Organizations such as Angelic Freedom must be destroyed. But what else was there to do? When it is time for a leader to make a decision, it must be made...you should know that. Even if the decision ends up hurting others. Nations go to war, based on decisions that end up killing millions. This is no different. I did what was in the best interest of my citizens, along with my ally in Utcheer. If Jarridia had not been attacked previously, I would have done the same for them. Allies stick together. I had no implications to begin an onslaught against citizens of any nation. That was of her own free will. I can not, and will not be held accountable for some psychotic woman's decision to attack you.

"It appears quite obvious you knew of his impending attacks, yet you did nothing to safe-guard your nation but pay them off. Do not try to tell me that paying them off is the only way to safe-guard your people, as it isn't.

"ViZion would never, and will never pay off a terrorist organization, as we know there are other ways to do it. You should have know to do other things, such as coming to Jarridia, ViZion, or any other nations you could trust on such issues. But, no, instead, you paid them off.

"Yes, it is a tragedy, and yes, as you have paid them three million dollars, you should be held accountable.

"However, we do have an offer for you... If your nation is willing to surrender things such as, but not limited to, ALL information on Angelic Freedom, as well as any AF members, or land land in which they are located on, as well as agree NEVER to aid in any way, shape, or form, AF or another terrorist organization, we will withhold military, legal, and other actions taken upon your nation, and we shall go our seperate ways."

I, under no circumstances, will ever answer to any authority than that of the WWA. You, ViZion, have not brought be to trial. I am in trial because the code of the WWA states that I must, if there are outstanding allegations. Your plea bargain was not signed by Jarridia, nor does it hold any basis towards me. I ask that before you break into a sanctioned trial to ask me questions, and state where I am in correct in my dealings, that you provide a formal statement to the person presiding over the trial.

Once again ViZion, I do not acknowledge, nor do I accept your terms. Why don't you go find the real perpetrators behind these attacks and prosecute them.

Is this still going on? I forgot my password and had to start all over again
