My fellow Terrans,
As many of you know, The Union of Macon is involved with an internal dispute with its rebellious Hutori provinces. In the past few days we have noticed increased activity on the borders of Telamon - coupled with reports that the rebel Hutori have doubled defence spending. This is highly suspicious, and we note that, among other things, Hutori's parliament has proposed the enslavement of prisoners and the use of nuclear weapons against Telamonian cities.
The international community must recognize Hutori for the sheep in wolf's clothing that it is. The Hutori have sought to destroy the Union of Macon - an experiment in pan-continental supranational governance - so that they could pursue their own aggressive military designs on the continent.
I call upon Hutori politicians committed to peace, as I am, to start questioning your government. I also call upon the international community to condemn these actions by Hutori. Surely those of you providing aid should reassess your position.
Thank you and good day.
Sidney Nettleson,
