The Innominati / INNOMINATI

I am Nameless.

I was not born nameless. You made me this way.

I was born in privilege, in poverty, in hope and in despair. You call me a liar, but I never speak anything untrue. You call me a conspiracy freak, but you are the tools of that conspiracy. You call me a terrorist, but you are the ones that cause others to wake up in the night screaming in terror. You call me many things, but I remain Nameless.

Nearly 200 years ago, you claimed to have shaken off the chains of oppression and pretended to begin to walk the path of enlightenment. I know better. Being Nameless, I have the freedom you would take from me, I can say that which is true.

The Fallacy of Fair Citizenship

The fallacy of citizenship begins with natural law. Over one thousand years ago, our “ignorant” forebears put forth the idea that intrinsic to our nature was the power of self governance. We as individuals had the sole control over our future and together we used that right to create governments. Citizenship denies the majority that right. Although you claim to have abolished slavery, how is denying Citizenship any different? People who are not citizens have no say in their future, their government or their lives.

You claim they still have freedom, the freedom to work where they want, live where they want and speak as they want, but that too is a fallacy. When you allow communities to be open to Citizens only, you deny them the right to live where they want. When you allow employers to mark jobs “Citizenship Preferred,” you deny them the right to work where they want. And when you silence and harass those that disagree with your system, you deny them the right to speak openly.

You claim that all they need to do is become Citizens, and that the only reason they have no say is because they choose not to. However that too is a fallacy. You, the privileged few, create the tests used to become citizens. You decide where the money for education goes, and universally that is to the schools that teach your children. The schools that teach the voiceless, they get only the scraps off your table. Is it any wonder the vast majority of citizens are children of citizens? Without education how can you expect them to know the answers to your tests? Once they are an adult, the voiceless are lashed to the never-ending mill of survival. Every waking moment spent working for pittance to gain just enough food to survive. They have no free time to study, no money to pay for tutors, no time to even take the test.

Without a truly universal franchise, there is no “Fair Citizenship”.

The Fallacy of the Imperator, Triumvirate and Senate

You claim that 200 years ago we overthrew the last of the tyrannical Imperators. You claim that since Imperator Toi, all of our leaders have been fairly elected. This is a fallacy.

You run the elections, decide who can run in the elections, restrict who can vote in the elections, and count the results of the elections. You then laugh at people who call the system unfair despite the fact that the same families show up decade after decade in all the major seats of power. When was the last time you saw a child of non-citizens become Imperator? High General? High Advocate? High Secretary?

Sure you allow one or two to sit in the senate, but when the majority of the population is non-citizens or children of non-citizens, how fair are they being represented when less than a tenth of the senate grew up like them and know of their struggles?

There is an old saying that the greatest trick evil ever accomplished was to convince the universe it doesn’t exist. Imperator Toi was that evil. He saw that if the atrocities of the Messer era were allowed to continue, the people would revolt. It was inevitable. He also saw that if the people revolted and took charge, they, not he, would be choosing how to govern themselves. So instead he took the reigns. He created a system where the illusion of choice is given but which ensures that the same families, the same tyrants would remain in power decade after decade.

You need only observe the senate for one day to know this is true. Do you think they discuss how to feed the billions that starve on their own worlds, even as they toil night and day to try and survive? How about ways to force the “protectors” to protect the citizens instead of arbitrarily bullying them? No. Instead they discuss whether to make one privileged planet the capital over another. They talk about how to give the jack-booted thugs more power to ensure the safety of the privileged few. They talk about how to funnel money from the many to the desires and interests of the select few.

You call this governance? There can be no true governance until the old system is completely dismantled and all the people decide how they should be governed.

The Fallacy of Synthworld

You point to synthworld as an example of how we have changed, a symbol of the pact to not destroy the helpless again. That is the biggest lie of them all.

First, if you had changed you would not need a symbol to show the universe that you had changed, the only reason you need a symbol is the universe knows better. Do you think that rotating ball of uninhabitable rock convinces the Xi’an that you are not the same tyrants that waged a nearly three century long war against them? Many of those that suffered at your hands, still live and are still in power. They know better.

Do you think that atrocious money sink convinces the Tevarin you are no longer the people that destroyed their world? Of course not, if you were there would be more than a handful of Tevarin citizens. They know better.

If not the Xi’An or the Tevarin, who are you fooling? The Banu, they don’t care, tyranny or freedom they are both good for business; The Vanduul? Who?

That is ok, I will happily answer where you can not. Synthworld exists to convince the people of UEE that they are not mind-slaves of the same tyrants they pretended to overthrow. And what do these people get for this “shining” beacon of change? Poverty, Death, over-taxing those that can’t even afford to eat. Where do you think the money for this atrocity comes from, Citizens with their preferred tax status, accountants and lawyers who know how to squeeze every penny out of the tax rolls? No, it is the poor who can’t afford accountants. It is the destitute who can’t afford citizenship. It is the downtrodden who have never seen a lawyer unless it was provided by the state for their defense.

Until pointless projects are eliminated and the burden of funding them is removed from the poor and destitute, there can be no future.

The Fallacy of the Advocacy

You say the advocacy is necessary to maintain peace and safety. But that is a lie.

Sure the advocacy ensures the protection of a few, but when was the last time you heard of an advocacy agent helping a family in the slums? They only go outside of their towers of power to help “the worthy”. For the rest of the voiceless, they are the dark shadow that comes in the night to take their children, their parents, their loved ones. They detain them without trial, without reason. They abuse them without mercy. They have no checks against their power. Time and time again, information comes out about the over-reaches of the Advocacy, black projects, illegal detentions, murders and assassinations. Time and time again the senate excuses these atrocities in favor of the “protection” these “peace-keepers” provide.

Until unchecked power is abolished, there can be no Justice, no safety.

Innominati

So who will act as the voice for those whose voice has been removed? Who will destroy the system that keeps the powerful in power and the destitute in starvation? Who will fight the agents of a system that makes the poor pay for their own enslavement? Who will fight the jack-booted thugs of power unchecked?

We will.

We are Innominati. We are the voice of the voiceless – the nameless, countless billions silenced by the Evil Empire of Earth.

Until the rich surrender the reins of power, until the franchise is universal, until the secret legacy of the Dark Imperator is brought to light and cleansed… Until that day, no place will be safe for the mind-slaves of Earth.

Agents of oppression – you have been warned.

Who/What is the Innominati?

We are the nameless… we are the voice of the voiceless masses that are disenfranchised and oppressed by the tyranny of the UEE. We act because they cannot. We speak because they cannot. Our names and faces are unimportant, we are nothing but agents of change. We remain nameless by choice in order to give voice to those that must remain nameless by circumstance.

What Tyranny? I thought we were in an enlightened era free from the misdeeds of the Messer era?

This is what the agents of oppression wish you to believe. They repeat it over and over to our young, on our newscasts, in our military training camps, in our citizenship testing centers. They hope by pure repetition and indoctrination to convince us that it is true. One need only look around you. Billions left voiceless by a system of citizenship designed to keep the downtrodden down; Projects designed to make the system look good draining the lifeblood of those on their last breaths turn to dust because the foundation is broken beyond repair; Jack-booted thugs pretending to “protect our rights” while simultaneously detaining people without cause or reason for long periods of time; Billions of our poor and destitute funneled into the abattoir that is our military based only on the faint promise, the dangling hope of citizenship when they are more likely to find death and injury than be granted a voice or reprieve from their torment. We are not out of the Messer era, THEY have just found a better way to dress it up to hide their true intentions.

Isn’t Citizenship the most fair system? Aren’t all equally given the chance to obtain it?

How can a system be fair when it tests knowledge that is taught only at the schools of the privileged? They pretend everyone has a chance but then anchor the young of the disenfranchised in sub-standard schools which receive less than a hundredth of the funding of the schools of the privileged. Is it no wonder that most citizens are the children of citizens? We pretend it isn’t hereditary, we pretend it is fair, but one need only look at the results with open eyes to see that the privileged remain privileged and the poor remain poor. The only way to make a truly fair system is to give everyone the franchise. Then and only then can we claim to have a system that truly talks on behalf of all the people.

Isn’t the reason most poor don’t obtain Citizenship is that they do not work for it? Why don’t they earn enough money, educate themselves and become Citizens? Aren’t they just lazy criminals?

Open your eyes mind-slave. Look at the job boards, notice how “Citizenship preferred” is stamped on any job that can even come close to providing a living wage? Most non-citizens have to carry multiple jobs (if they can even get them) to even gain enough sustenance to survive. How can they be expected to pay for tutoring when they can’t afford the crumbs they need to feed themselves and their children? How can they take the time to learn when they spend every waking hour toiling for “their betters”? How can you call someone who works harder than you have worked in your entire life lazy? How can they not harbor a deep resentment of the agents of their oppression when they are given nothing but the dregs and then blamed for it. Is it any wonder they turn to crime to escape? Wouldn’t you?

Say I believe you, How do I help out?

Become the voice of those that have no voice. Act! Tear down the privileged from their towers of gold and silver. Destroy the destroyers.

Can I join your Organization?

We do not recruit. Act on behalf of the nameless masses, perform acts we deem worthy, speak through us and proclaim your namelessness to the masses and you ARE one of the innominati. If you wish to join some formal “organization” and carry a membership card, this might not be the organization for you. The formal “organization” exists solely to allow the nameless to act as the voice for the voiceless. Maybe if you perform enough acts, speak enough truths, maybe we will seek you out. However we will assume any who seek us out are secretly mind-slaves of the oppression and act accordingly.

Who is the Voice of the Innominati?

We are all the voices of the innominati. If you seek to speak for the voiceless, and wish to speak as a voice of the innominati, simply contact us and we will arrange to have your message broadcast. If you have an act you wish to have attributed to the nameless on behalf of the voiceless, send us the details we will ensure that the message of your deeds rings out among the mind-slaves while keeping you safe and nameless. If you wish to put your name to it, you are free to claim credit and even claim credit on behalf of the Innominati if you so desire. WE remain nameless by choice so that we can provide a voice that are nameless without choice.

Are you all Pirates or terrorists?

We are neither Pirates nor Terrorists, we are patriots we are freedom fighters, we are an agent of inevitable change. Our methods might seem crude to the mind-slaves of the Oppression, we may choose to use piracy and terrorism as our sword to slay the beast of the privileged, but we are everywhere. We remain nameless all around you, in your military, in your Advocacy, in your seats of power. We are there and we see all. We also remain nameless among those we aid, we are in the dark shadow, among the pirates of Spider, across the dark expanse in that ship that just activated its weapons to force you from your stupor. We are there and we do all.
