| Message | A good network of alliances will be fine too. Why would anyone attack Beluzia as the insignificant country it is? I'd agree with your bill if you agreed with my demand to the government. |
| Date | 01:49:36, July 05, 2015 CET | From | Front of the People of Beluzia | To | Debating the PATRIOT Act of 3871 |
| Message | We agree that the best way to be prepared for peace is to be prepared for war. We could be attacked because we are insignificant, and all greedy imperialists look to insignificant countries to expand their empires. The only way to avoid this is to build ourselves into a global power. -Louis Gadens |

| Message | Can I say, that nuclear weapons pose a threat to human life, and the environment. We have to first and foremost protect the people of Terra. Most civilised countries do not use chemical weapons. Paramilitaries would bring shame to our country, and military service goes against the will of the people. Land mines are a war crime. |

| Message | The only good thing here is paramilitaries as part of political parties |
