| Message | "We agreed until Article II, 3) and 4) The HNP fails to realise the acts of the Black Legion in the area, acts which brought it to unparalleled low crime rates and peace in it's history as a Hulstrian colony. That the Reich Korps, a non-paramilitary organisation, should declare war in the province is not the affairs of a nation uninterested in the plight of the province until the last month. The PC will declare in immediate effect it's dedication to said treaty." Katen Doratha President of the Patriciate Coalition |

| Message | "I would point out to my honourable colleague that under the definition of a 'paramilitary organisation' in the Paramilitary Organisations Act, the Reich Korps are a paramilitary organisation." -Nicolaas van der Burgh Chairman of the HNP Minister of Finance DM for Graaffsberg South |
| Date | 01:46:36, September 29, 2008 CET | From | Königstreue Sozialdemokrat 社会民主 | To | Debating the Law and Order (Eastern Territories) Act 2644 |
| Message | This bill is the true solution to the operations going on in the Eastern Territories. Actual law enforcement enforcing the law, not independent paramilitaries causing violence as away to "reduce crime". |
| Date | 01:52:10, September 29, 2008 CET | From | Republican Coalition | To | Debating the Law and Order (Eastern Territories) Act 2644 |
| Message | "Whether they are or not according to your definition is unimportant. Regardless they are a strong, well armed terrorist organisation fully capable of throwing the Eastern Territories into chaos. The Black Legion stepped in where the Hulstria armed forces did not. In response the HNP wishes to shut down the one organisation responsible from preventing Korps, drug financed control speading all over the colony. This is sectarian politics over the good of the nation taken to its very heights" Katen Doratha President of the Patriciate Coalition |
| Date | 15:34:58, September 29, 2008 CET | From | Traditional Conservative's Party | To | Debating the Law and Order (Eastern Territories) Act 2644 |
| Message | "I urge my fellow Diet members to vote for this proposed bill. The Black Legion have done hard work and we thank them, but now the official peacekeeping forces should move in." Aleksander II von Scharnhorst Minister of Internal Affiars |
| Date | 16:58:12, September 29, 2008 CET | From | Republican Coalition | To | Debating the Law and Order (Eastern Territories) Act 2644 |
| Message | We urge support for the removal of the last article of this bill, or the last two sections of this article, before votes begin. We quote the TCP, thanks to the Black Legion are hardly produced by shutting them down. If peacekeeping forces move in then I'm sure they will step aside peacefully. |
| Date | 23:56:10, September 29, 2008 CET | From | Hulstria Reactionary Party | To | Debating the Law and Order (Eastern Territories) Act 2644 |
| Message | This spending is ridicules! The HRP will support a 50,000,000,000 HCR reduction from Health and Socal services but just adding onto the budget is a terrible waste of money. |
