Our esteemed national government has recently announced that it has killed the traitor Mordon Genette. Though many of us have gone into hiding and joined the resistance, this death may be a step towards reconciliation with our national government. After all, many of us feared that old titles and old aristocrats such as Mordon Genette and Fredrick Jarte were influencing our government. Now we may be assured that they are not. Genette is dead and Fredrick Jarte’s creation, SciTech has been stamped into the dirt.
We have grave news here. One of our allies, our dear ‘Friend of Utopia,’ had betrayed us. This is terrible news. He has helped us for a long while. He even jump-started our two revolutions. He has been a great friend and like on our quest towards a utopia. Despite all of this he has now abandoned the cause. Vision is in a better position than ever.

When we paint the news accurately we inevitably choose the side of the resistance. So that is what we must do. We now paint the news as it is in the hopes that we will have a new government, one that is truly of the people.
