| Message | Laird Zog has no power! This government is too cowardly to oppose the Suumer Rebellion, under Prince Vardan. PAL members will renounce their membership of the Church of Beluzia, removing themselves from this secular tool of oppression, to worship the true living God in the way they wish. We will wait and see if the PYS and Beluzian military are brave enough to imprision a fifth of the country! Long live Prince Vardan! |
