Sickly pinkish anthem outlawed at last, praise God!

Written by: Father Jorge Socrates


"Today, by the grace of God, our enlightened, Godly Parliament, in their latest homage to the Almighty, have truly delivered a blessing to our divinely-protected people by outlawing one of the most revolutionary and dangerous songs of all time, The Internationale. This 'song,' with its subversive lyrics, socialist theme, and power to incite dissent and revolutionary fervor in the left-leaning and weak-minded, has been the battle cry of totalitarian communists for many years. Its resoundingly negative impact on mankind has been inestimable. This 'song' was written by the Devil himself, in the guise of Eugène Pottier, a Godless Marxist utterly devoted to fomenting revolution and communizing the world for his dark master. No longer will we face the risk of having our young, tender children brainwashed by this hymn from Hell. No longer will clutch our breasts in fear and shudder at the prospect of Marxist-Leninist gangsterism gaining a foothold in our Godly nation. Let us thank our wonderful Parliament, and give our endless praise to the Almighty, that this sickly anthem will never be heard again in our nation!"

And now in English

Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labor and valorous deed.
[Or, the old way:
Be true to the people, thus Stalin has reared us,
Inspire us to labor and valorous deed!]

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

In the vict'ry of Communism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. Voltaire

I have lived for many, many years. And in that time, I have seem some quite bizarre things, some totally wondrous things, and some horrifically disgusting things. But, of all I have seen, the theme of 'politicians with too much time on their hands' is consistent.

What we have here is just one in a long list of examples of this theme. Now, as I am a Toreador first and foremost, banning any form of art regardless of its political bias is somewhat repulsive to me. But as the appointed Prince of this particular domain I understand the need to subtly guide those in your care away from harm. The main political ideology I have to contend with is a violent anarchy movement, and I know how difficult it can be to steer people onto the right path.

But you will not achieve what you desire with this move. It is flawed and foolish on so many levels that it would take a letter a hundred times this length to explain it all. If you have to ask why it is flawed, you will probably never know. I will simply leave you with these two words: subtle, and constructive. Both are the basic requirements of restructuring the political beliefs of others, and they are the only way you can ever hope to accomplish this. You have failed to use either, and thus will fail to change your people's beliefs.

Official Statement From General Anastasio Uribe, Foreign Minister-

President General Emilio Diez Calvo once more applauds the wise actions of the fine nation of El Caudillo, a land constantly striving to be closer to the Holy Father and who consistently follows the path of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ with confidence and surity of step. As a token of his goodwill and devotion, President General Calvo has asked that he be allowed to donate to the El Caudillan government a sum of 3.5 billion dollars to help spur along the crusade against evildoers and moral heresy, and brighten this shining beacon of truth and morality in an age darkened by the crooked paths of the left.

Yours in sincerity,
General Anastasio Uribe,
Guadalombian Foreign Minister.

Although we do not applaud the actons taken by the corrupt coorporations that have taken control of your government, we must realize that it is your companies (opps, i mean Country's) decision to ban such fine pieces of work. I also am putting out an official invitation to all musicians within the nation of El Caudillan. They are openly welcome into the Holy Empire and will be given citizenship without neeing to sign up for a green card.

The Holy Empire prides itself in the civil rights of it's artists (Them being Music, Movies, TV, or Print).

The emperor of Joseph Seal, while condemning El Caudillo's actions, realizes that Joseph Seal has no right to tell El Caudillo what to do with it's people. The emperor also reminds El Caudillo that before they even think of calling Joseph Seal "communistic", "Marxist", "satan-worshippers", and "socialist", that Joseph Seal is NOT communistic, nor Marxist, does NOT worship Satan, and only admits it is partially socialist.

*Internal Corporate Memo*
To: Corporate Executives of Shazbotdom Music INC.
From: Joe Leone, Chief Executive Officer

In light of several nations banning the song "Internationale", this company is herby presenting the song for distribution on our web site for everyone within those nations. With us owning over 50 different web URL's, it will be hard for the to track down our web site location and ban it.

From CEO Zezeb,

Do you feel the need to anounce everyone of the things you do. It's not very smart, and may lead to war with someone it especially offends. But if it does, We will withdraw our Troops from Monitqnac and send them over

Downloading a song off of the internet isn't completely concealable, especially for those too clumsy to clear their computers of evidence of their misdeeds.

I would change your attitude accordingly.

It's not like I'm sending shock troops in to destroy your servers.

OOC: What you don't understand though is that song hasn't gone live on that companies web site yet. A later memo stating that it has gone live will appear tomarrow RL. So what you did was godmodding.

OOC:

In that case I will reserve that post for a later date, I assumed that post meant the distribution would go into effect immediately.

I should have made it more clear. That message was directed towrad El Caudillo ONLY with Level 10 Encription. You could not have seen it. Adjust your post please.

OOC: I will delete it but watch this.

SIC to El Caudillo: If anybody tells you that they will do something like launch missiles at you, tell me their names and I will handle them. If they do launch one missile at you, I will launch four missiles back at them.
