| Message | "This whole National Security Campaign is an attempt by the CD to whip up hysteria. Why has the CD resorted to such tactics when there has been no visible threat from anywhere, within or with-out Keymon? This all seems a bit far to go just beacause the DPP ignored the CD demands to disband any para-military. Some taking a quick glance from the outside would think that the Director General's life had been thretened or something along those lines, not a petty dispute between two contrasting parties." --Tha Don |

| Message | "Two visible threats exist. First, the threat of war from Likatonian fascists, which communist insurrectionists used as an excuse to create an illegal private army. They accused us of having no military, and when we moved to address this problem, they condemned us every step of the way. The second visibile threat are the para-military organizations themselves, which just recently secured control of the square in front of the Assembly. If they can strike the heart of the capital, they can strike anywhere, and it is imperative that the government act quickly to prevent such vigilantism." -- Director General Jaques Phargle |

| Message | "The Director General explains the facts out of context. Firstly, the DPP were the ones arguing for an army and if I am not mistaken, it wasn't that long ago that the CD refused to admitt that there was a threat from Likatonia. Secondly the AGK did not cease the main square in Isthmus, infact they appeared to disband some DPP protestors before things got out of hand. Now this is hardly the action of a para-military intent on overthrowing the government, no matter how tempting it may be." --Tha Don |
