Mobi Delson at Grand Council meeting

All day and into the evening the Grand Council has come to a complete stand still. A collective of sixty union delegates have taken orders upon from their home unions to bring up the issue of political parties. The council in total number of votes has been divided on whether legalizing or banning political parties. Wilken Ve Garet led the anti-political party half while Mobi Delson led the pro-political party half of the council. There has been constant deliberation and infighting within the council over the issue and neiher side has blinked. It has been agreed on however that if the council can't come to a concensus on the constitutional issue then a national vote may be held which would only hold up the constitutions progress from advancing further. Thematan officials want the constitution enforced as quick as possible due to the belief that the current government could come under political corruption soon if rules aren't set in place. Political corruption is exactly why Mobi Delson is for political parties.

Mobi Delson's trabscript from Grand Council:

Quote:

 

"Themata was corrupted before due to one side of the government being lobbyed and having too much power. Mostly, having too much power. Political parties help limit the government from becoming too powerful along with a proper constitution, parties are the balancing tool for a large democratic nation. Political parties also show the people several different sides of political and domestic issues, the people can either side or differ themselves from the parties with a set of their own beliefs based on information from these parties. This unfortunately was why the reason the people were so easily swayed by Quinism, because no options were given to them. However political parties must stay out of council as the people must truley holdbthe throne."

Quote:

 

"I see in no way shape or form political parties would do any good for Themata. Political parties lead to more political corruption and deception of public opinion through the media and party funded newspapers and stations. I see only arrogance and corruption arise from this."

Mobi Delson: Themata Is Broken, I Intend to Fix It



Following his election into office for a five year term by only over fifty percent of Themata. Mobi Delson was interviewed by various independent journalist news stations on his intentions and goals. Mobi Delson put an emphasis on creating a healthy stable mixed economy.

Transcript from Delson's interview with Themata News Gazzette:

Quote:

 

"The problem with Themata before the revolution was that corporations controlled a huge slice on the economy. Meaning, when Tab's Oil Corporation fellout in 2010, millions lost their jobs sending the economy spiraling out of control. Other corporations put more Thematans out of jobs. Now, while the economy did eventually recover very well without the government getting involved, major corporations still controlled a large chunked of the economy. This hardly left any room for small buisiness, and Themata saw a steep decline in small buisiness survival rate.

This was because many Thematans were spending more than saving, the problem was also that people were saving more than they were spending. The economy was based on consumption and nobody was consuming enough to feed this monster of an economy. Nobody was also saving enough to start more small buisiness.

The key, is to have more small buisiness to creaite more good job oppurtunity. It also assures that the economy won't collapse along with the major corporations that own the majority of it, which they won't. Small buisiness creates good jobs, unlike corporations, while corporations can create an abundance of productive jobs, these jobs are undesirable and short lasting. Also with more small buisiness theres better workers to manager cooperation, thus a better rate of productivity due to a consensus reached on both sides of the spectrum.

An abundance of small buisiness is a good sign, it shows that the economy is going in the right direction. Rather than no small buisiness and only big buisiness.

I only advocate government intervention in keeping a balance in the private sector.

There is really no huge difference in socialism or corporatism/capitalism. It's like this really: Socialism is a system where the government directly owns and manages businesses. Corporatism is a system where businesses are nominally in private hands, but are in fact controlled by the government. In a corporatist state, government officials often act in collusion with their favored business interests to design polices that give those interests a monopoly position, to the detriment of both competitors and consumers.

So, in my opinion, arguing about socialism and capitalism is pointless. It keeps fron true balanced progress."

"While I hold many Liberal beliefs with a combine of soialist ideals, that does not mean I believe a Social Liberal route is better for the country. What I believe in, is a middle point, just like the economy. With the economy you want a healthy balance, of private and public that work in cooperation with eachother. Not too much socialism, not too much capitalism, a healthy balance between the two in my opinion is the best route for now.

In the political stability of the country, we can't have too many extremes. And that's what we have, too many extremes. We need right political parties, we need left political parties, we need centralist parties. We need all this to create a balance of power within government. We need to do all of this while closely following the constitution without question.

Balance is key, if we can't find balance, then the unbalance with topple us over."

Quote:

 

"The best thing is to have the people to be able survive without much or no state welfare. While I believe the government should take care of it's people, I believe it should optional, and there should be requirments. However, social welfare can be healthy and excellent if we throw away the social securoty system. Which only dig a hole through the pockets of the entire country.

Quote:

 

"In 1996, our people rebelled and protested against the Thesse controlled corporate state, to free ourselves from racial discrimmination and being defined as dumb blatant factory workers. A study, last year came out of Moonland University, that stated specifically: 'Sunlitians have a higher dropout rate than Thesse children in the educational system. In recent mental observation test, Thesse are shown to have a higher literacy rate, and 1 out of 3 Sunlitians don't know how to read. Other Sunlitians have a disability that deters their ethnicity from critical thought and patients, resulting in a bad attitude and a lack of understanding resulting in arrogance and rebellious behavior. Which can be a result of Dan Jorones previous actions in Great Jonothania.'

This report not only shows the arrogance that comes out of this Thesse country, but the lack of compassion from a society that claims to be socialist. I have gotten, no beneifits, no help from the feds, nor my local government. While, I have white Thesse friends who receive benefits, and job offers, and get help from government looking for a job, while I get left in the gutter with the government shoving the middle finger to my face. I fought for an equal, just and democratic socialist Themata, instead me and my people are becoming neglected, more than we were by the former regime. We being outvoted by these racist represenatives in the People's Asswmbly, who claim to be fairly representing the people. Well! Wheres my representation, where the Sunlitian worker representation! How come, most Sunlitians are denied a vote,

For that I say, **** the system, **** Mobi Delson. Let's rise up and reclaim our lands, from the Thesse conquers who enslaved the Sunlitians and killed the Sunlitian king who saved Themata through a harsh winter.

Remember 96, we will not rebel with bombs and arms, we will rebel through means of protest and a revolutionary thought, that carry on for generations, through peaceful means!"

Culture, News & Political Updates

Invasion of Rokkenjima



Recent documents were uncovered that the former regime of Themata(United Themata Republic), was planning a full scale invasion of Rokkenjima since the early nineties. The documents contained various well constructed battle orders and maps, as well as an acurrate prediction of Rokkenjima force size and Themata. The final draft of the plan was to mainly carry out special ops in Rokkenjima, supposed Rokkenjiman citizens would be Thematan spies in missions of sabatoge and espionage. The navy would be disabled through means of air and land supieriority, since the two nations were so close, land forces could easily travel to land provinces of Rokkenjima under heavy air and armor support using iifast Lightning War tactics(Blitzkrieg).

This invasion ofcourse would take place after Quinntopia was disabled through the Thematan military might.

Many have wondered however, "If, the Thematan Military was so strong, how come Thematan forces were overturned so easily in the Revolutionary Conflict by CSTO forces?". The issue was, Themata's military wasn't the frightening bulk it was supposed to be. Infact, the invasion schedueled for the year 2030. It was planned that Themata would begin empire building in 2014, preparations however were ruined by social media and activist groups like Liberty speaking out to the International community.

If the revolution, never happend, Themata may have been at the top the economic game, as the former nation had the capacity. Opun Resin, was quoted saying, "If the revolution was to fail or never happen, then Themata would be a USR, a corpocracy USR."


Saving Private Talvin

A new independent movie called Saving Private Talvin has come out. The movie has climbed onto the top of Thematan charts mainly due to the lack of anything else to watch in movie-making corporations absences. But also because it has recieved positive rave reviews all around the world.

The movie takes place during the Thematan War, during the battle of Jerdin when a band of wartorn soldiers are sent on a mission to bring home a soldier who unfortunately lost all three of his brothers at Seabird and Sunlit Mountains.

The group ends up staying at Jerdin to fight in the most bloody battle of the war.

The movie however is full of historical inaccuracies, like the main rifle of the Thematan Military at the time was the G60, not the M4. Also, the final blow was carpet bombing by Novincian bombers, the battle in the movie is ended with Novincian bombers dropping an atomic bomb on Jerdin. Even though, WMDs are commonly banned amoung all nations and Themata. Today Jerdin is not riddled with radiation from a nuclear bomb, leaving no evidence of an event like that occurring, despite what conspiracy theorist say. Unfortunately, the movie has become fact to many and Jerdin is being examined for possible traces of nuclear radiation.


Fracking

Fracking is huge in Sunlit, and it's due to the prolonging of province wide oil boom. Once fracking was discovered, accessing oil beneath the surface became easier and abundant. This prolonged the oil boom, and has perhaps done more harm than good. While the government in urging for the trade off of oil with other countries, the federal government's power is limited at the moment and directly intervening in nearly impossible due to the lack of government resources. Little money is also coming out Sunlit despite their overproduction of crude oil. Oil production may have to halt, the goal of Thematan Socialism is to provide for what the people need and want, to tend to the people, rather than the profit of one small class. However, this is becoming impossible as Sunlit seems to be ignoring the Federal Government's wishes.

Besides the problem of exporting oil, fracking has reported to taint various water sources, resevours have small traces of oil that only seem to be getting larger. Minister of the Enviroment, Wisfik Loc, made a statement earlier today on the issue:

Quote:

 

"The issue in Sunlit shouldn't be taken lightly. Whether it's the wave of high pollution due to massive oilfields or the pollution of local resources through fracking, it needs to stop. Themata only intakes less than quarter of oil that comes from Sunlit, which means that we are producing way too much oil. If was up to me, and the government had the power, I would halt this overproduction.

It does seem, that Sunlit unions, will not back down, as many of them have millions of Sunlitians at their backs. For that, in an event of the unions abusing their power, the government would step in, unfortunately, the people support the pollution of their land. So for that, I cannot get involved."
