Description[?]:
| [OOC: As referred to here http://www.takeforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2274&mforum=particracy] Till Lindemann speaks; "The Cult of the Invisible Hand has risen and we are now in control of the Freedom Party, we shall not be changing the name but we will be changing our policies. Religion is now vitally important the Freedom Party as it is for the Cult as we are a religion you know!. We shall remain however, progressive and permissive. We believe in the free market to the extreme and will be looking to increase it's use in Rutania more and more and eliminate those pesky subsidies. Small government is what we want, except in the area of religion where the Cult favours support for itself and other 'worthy' religions. We favour an isolationist policy in foreign relations due to the unbelievers in the rest of Terra but will be internationalist where we have to, its not that an important policy for our cult, just like ecological matters." |

| Date | 23:30:22, November 17, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Alcoholic Party II | To | Debating the The Rise of the Cult |
| Message | Everything is fine except two and seven. Although Iqbal "The Drunkard" McLiberty is a devout member of the International Church of Drunken Fighting, he feels that religion and politics should stay out of eachother's way. In friendly recognition of "the Cult", "The Drunkard" today flashed a number of weird masonic symbols and executed a speech whilst rambling in tongues. "Ablahben blalalala ngh sdddrfffg", he was heard to say, whilst spelling a series of seemingly meaningless shapes over and over again with his hands. |
