Details

Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: December 4316
Description[?]:
| (This bill is not meant to be passed, but more of to lay out some of Stein's Intentions as layed out in his speech) "Brothers, we gather here today under solemn circumstances. Ruben has betrayed us. He has not only betrayed you, but he betrayed the Gods. We must, however, remain diligent, as our enemies are watching us, studying our every move. Waiting for the perfect moment to plunge their unholy dagger into our pure hearts. We will NOT allow this chance to come. But, to avoid this, we must figure out who are our enemies, enemies of the faith, of the Gods, of the people of Kazulia?" A long period of intense thought and confusion befell the audience. Ruben betrayed them? When, and most importantly, how? But these questions passed over as Stein continued to speak: "It is the corporations! The factory bosses! The corporate CEOs who care not about you or your struggles are the enemy. They only care about what you have. And who has been vouching for these offenders the entire time? Who has wanted these so called "Market Freedoms"? The audience smiled. They all knew where this was going. Their exact thoughts almost seemed to come straight out of Stein's mouth. "Kjerne!" The audience cheered more wildly that they ever had before. They seemed to like their new divine leader. Their.....father. |

| Message | Herr Huspresident, we note again how immature and unstable our democratic institution is. Now there is again a crisis in government. Fanatics and anti-democrats have taken over the Hednisk Råd, and they have consequently left the government. It's the "parentism" that is haunting us again.The father figure that shall use all the power of the state to rule every Kazulian. Of course there are several who lay claim to be this father, not all of them are as liberal as Kong Magnus and his royalist party. Now, look, we have been presented with nine articles from the new "Hedensk Allianse". I hope for all Kazulia, and particularly for every pagan in this country, that they don't even mean these articles to be passed in the chamber. Beware! What if they put this to the vote, which they have the right to do, and it should pass? In the dreams of Herr Stein, it means that it is he, as the god of paganism, that controls the state and the religion of Kazulia. In practice it is the opposite. The Hosian majority, the fascist party will be authorized to clamp down on paganism and eliminate all their rights as WE, together with the NHR that we knew, have fought for. We supported and passed the bill from NHR a few years ago that all naturally occuring narcotics should be legal. The pagan traditions and rituals shall be protected, but I appeal to the pagan community that they don't take decisions while under the influence of certain drugs that cause a grandiose sense of ones own might. It will get the pagan community into trouble, if they send inebriated representatives here with claims to be gods that rule Kazulia. This drugs may have their appropriate context and use, but beware of not mixing up different dimensions of reality. -Atlas Skuldristen, Statsminister |
