General John Rosenberg sat in his soft leather chair, straightened the papers on his desk, and thought for a few minutes on what he would announce. His group, some would call it a terrorist organization, some a freedom fighting band, had just been effectively and finally organized. Compared to everything else in the world, with massive nations with billions of people, this small group was nothing. Nothing at all. But the General's goal was to swiftly convince the world that the Global Resistance was truly a unique organization, and to quickly convince some nation to allow his group in.

And so the General pondered for a few minutes, looking towards the sparse walls of his office, just a minor office in a minor corner of the world, and a few portraits of long-dead military leaders for inspiration. None came. Well, he thought, I'll just have to stick the the script. The General gave the thumbs-up to the silent plain-clothes gaurd by the office door, and within a few minutes a webcam was trained upon the General, playing live, and a gaurd lifted cards with the General's prewritten speech.

The General began slowly and solemnly, keeping contact with the webcam, engaging his audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, citizens of the world, my fellow brothers and sisters, today I announce to you that the Global Resistance has come to your aid. Today I announce the formation of our little army, dedicated for the preservation of liberty and justice for all, and the noble struggle to bring freedom to those who have never before tasted its sweet taste. We hope that you, citizens, will support our cause as we support you. We hope to see you, citizens, on the frontline with the tyrannies of the world.

Call your senator, congressman, governor, king, president, whoever. Call them. Tell them that you wish to support the cause of liberty and justice by inviting and supporting the Global Resistance. Tell them it is your will as a people to be free, and to spread that freedom to others.

I know this message is very brief, but it is only the start of what I hope will be a long dialogue between the Global Resistance and the global people. May liberty reign eternal."

With that, the General saluted, and the webcam went off. It was now time to leave. The General changed back into civilian clothes and walked out of the office building. Along the way, he tossed his uniform into a dumpster and went to his hotel, where he would stay for a few days before changing locations. His gaurd stayed behind at the office building, as he was an employee for that company.

Soon it would all begin.

Offical Hatarian Government Statement

We Laugh at your Terrorist Ideas and we are not Fooled by your Messenge, The Hatarian people are fine with what they have and they wil never Surport Terrorists like you

Signed: Empress Serena of the Imperial Republic of Hataria


LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!

Sure we may be a democracy, but I think "Constitutional Dictatorship" only begins to become more accurate decribing what Mer Des Ennuis is. Good luck with that.

Message courtest of Kurbanai messaging service.

Hmmm, I doubt that's what you have on your agenda. Kubra will not take in any terrorist organizations. You can fend for yourselves, thank you very much.

You claim to be a global resistance, but what are you resisting? The tyrannies that deny people thier rights to choose, including to choose an 'oppressive' goverment should they so wish?

As we are a constitutional monarchy we wish you the best, in what we view as misguided idealism.
MoFA, Theao

Private Message(Semi-SIC)
While I personally disagree with your message, and know that my people are happy with the state of things, should you so wish and are willing to deal with any taxes and other legal niceties as well as leaving my people alone, I see nothing wrong with you setting up a branch office in my fief.

ooc: The second message is from one of my puppets(Emperor Sean the 7th(no relation to Theao))

Prince William watched the video in silence. He said not a word.

The video ended. The Prince closed his eyes for a moment. He opening his eyes and pressed "Delete" in his mailbox options.

The video was gone. And Prince William silently went back to approving the expansion of marijuana production on the colony of Machinist.

Andre had seen messages like this before.

In front of him, a flatscreen computer moniter glowed with the recorded webcam video of some new terrorist organization promising "freedom"... odd that they would just broadcast it everywhere... without mentioning specifics.

Some crackpot general with a vauge message of "freedom"... freedom from what?

Andre pushed back his greased grey hair. He'd been on this earth long enough to see through the veneer of "a good cause" to suspect some deeper motive for this organisation.


Official response from Andre Aleraz, Diplomatic Relations Dept, GDCE:

"That's all well and good... but... really, what the hell are you guys actually resisting?"

my question exactly.

Arthur Tenarius has announced that we will fight any members of this terrorist organization.

1010102 will aid demon 666 in its fight against terror but first i will wait for an official reply from The Global Resistance before acting.

I will smite any terrorists who dare hide from me with the ban hammer! Or a wing of B2's. Or, if they are willing to show themselves, I'll grant them a home on the Mer Des Ennuis Napalm Proving Grounds/Artillery Range! Its a pristine yet barren expanse totally untouched by any living things!

Most? Oh, come on now. How about I give you the rejects/survivors? And, just as in the case of a Chuck Norris attack, there are no survivors.

Colorado and Texas will open her borders to you. We offer our full support in any struggle you may have. We offer any tech, weapons and meds you need.

OOC: I suppose I should say who I am, or was, at some point. I am Fluffywuffy, rising yet again, but deciding to create a new nation and come from a new direction. As for the nebulous broadcast, it is meant to be that way. Standard terrorist proceedure, you see. Anything can be oppressive. Note the ambiguity below.

IC:

The General returned, this time clearly angered, clearly driven to do something. He was broadcasting this time from inside an old decrepit warehouse, a banner hanging behind him saying "Freedom for All." Two gaurds, clad in black and rather menacing looking, stood at the General's side. The General, too, was clad fully in the blackest black, cold and terrible as a cloudly midnight. His face, though unremarkable, had a stubborn determination and his dark blue eyes glew fiercly. He had grown a short, well-trimmed beard since the last broadcast to help mask his identity. Also, the General this time spoke with a Southern accent to keep everyone guessing. Finally, all of the materials from the last broadcast were new--new webcam, new laptop, new everything.

"I see some nations of the world have decided to label the warriors for the world as common terrorists, murderers of children and the innocent, to further support their oppression of humanity. Others have exteneded welcome arms to our cause. All I have to say is this: Woe to the oppressors of mankind! The Global Resistance shall sally forth and attack these anti-human oppressors where ever they may stand.

That is why I am clad in black. Today is truly a black day, one which I have anticipated bleakly--the day in which the Global Resistance must declare war. Today the Global Resistance declares war on its enemies and declares that it will wage war until the oppressors lie dead--or the Resistance is shattered. Only then will we disappear.

Now, let us sally forth!"

The short message was submitted two days after it was recorded, in order to give the Resistance members time to move around. General Rosenberg would be flying into Colorado and Texas, where it was likely he'd be staying for a while. He would rendevouz with several Resistance members at the airport and slip off into the countryside.

Henry Silvas was one Resistance member who had been ordered to make contact with Colorado and Texas. He would stroll in that nation's capitol city and play every rookie spook trick in the book--all in order to garner attention by counter-espionage personnel. After each move, such as taping streamers to a pole to mark something for other agents, he would plant a dead drop under a nearby bench or bush or some obvious hiding spot. Each note read as follows:

This is the Resistance. We have arrived. Meet me in the town center at midnight any day this week. Wear a Montgomery Biscuits baseball cap, yellow shirt, and blue jeans. Wear your cap slightly to the side. We will make contact for negotiations.

Other Resistance members applied for ESt7thian (?) citizenship. They would be legal, pay taxes, and other such things. But they would be just normal citizens, waiting until the Resistance needed to use their houses or call them for an operation. Their children would be Resistance members. No bold declaration stating the Resistance had arrived would be found here. Nothing.

Mer des Ennuis was a future operation. No concrete plans had been drawn up, no plans for annhilation or government decapitation. But the Resistance leadership would be gathering soon, and perhaps with the help of some other group, action would be taken. War would truly begin. The masses could be rallied.
