Emergency Elert 9/16/26

Greetings my fellow Statesmen! Today's broadcast is going to be a little... different. Before you all start panicking, no, we have not killed the previous staff of this broadcasting studio. Unlike our president would have you believe, we are not bloodthirsty monsters. No, they are all safe at home with their families.

We have borrowed broadcasting stations around New America to set some things straight. You have been told we are terrorists. That is the venomous lie of a coward. We are rebels, fighting a civil war for this nation's future. Rico Strombour is weak. He's a corrupt capitalist (is there really any other kind?) and a worse president. Rico promised a strong economy but crashed it to protect civil rights. He promised us safety but repeatedly escalated situations every chance he got. And as soon as any opposition to his tyranny appeared, he created a police state, closed the borders, and declared us terrorists.

You have been told that we only have a small presence in this nation. That is a lie. We live in the hearts of all who consider themselves Statemen. In addition, we have gained massive ground and support in the northwest. Our numbers grow by the day. Military defections have never been higher. Even still, Strombour hides in his office, twiddling his thumbs and pretending we don't exist.

My name is Jerrik Solomon. I say this with no fear in my heart. If I die, the cause continues without me. We won't surrender, we won't stop, and we will win this war. So, watch out Rico.

We're coming for you.
