On the eve of the Gallente Presidential elections, Daren Fasio has withdrawn his candidacy and is now supporting Aguard. Given some of Fasio's previous statements, I'm not sure whether this will help her campaign or harm it.
Closer to home, I've heard that a fleet of Caldari haulers, with Ishukone markings, are making their way toward Intaki. Moreover they are flying with an escort of Mordu's Legion craft.
I have issued an order to ILF pilots to not engage the newcomers unless threatened. We need some time to determine what this new activity means before we act.
It would be imprudent to attack those who could bring benefit to the Intaki.

More good things from Aguard
Celes Aguard had a great interview broadcast last night. I think she really got some good points across. The Scope says viewership set new records.
To quote the Scope's article: "In the interview, Aguard spoke about her mixed Gallente/Jin-Mei heritage and career in Mies, as well as her plans to support fringe economies, as well as her controversial criticism of CONCORD. Post-show polls at the CAS show an increase in support for Aguard and her policies, placing her behind Jacus Roden, but ahead of Vilard Garioss in the race for the presidency."
Roden, I don't about. I use his equipment, but I'm not sure he would be a good fit for Intaki. He strikes me as the kind who would not understand the plight of the Placid Intaki. With Intaki disenfranchised, I can only hope that our brothers in unoccupied space take that into account

It happened
I can't believe it. I'm totally dumbfounded. The Senate actually approved a bill that denies the most basic right of a democracy from millions, perhaps billions, of legal Federal citizens.
The ILF is already mobilizing to protest this illegal measure and I am lobbying my contacts within the Supreme Court.
Our only hope at this point is that the President will not sign the bill. I have little faith in him doing so, and signing the act would only be the last in long line of acts of treachery on his part. Although with the margin at which it passed the bill, the Senate would likely override a veto, even if it was issued.
What a sad day. I have always hoped for the creation of an independent Intaki, but I never longed for the death of the Federation. This law is, I fear, a step in that direction however.
Perhaps there is still some hope left and Celes Aguard will win the election and restore sanity to the Federal government.

A shameful act
The Senate has actually done it. The bill to disenfranchise the Intaki, and the rest of the occupied systems, has actually made it to the floor for debate.
What's even more unbelievable is that there doesn't seem to be much opposition to it. It is as if all my speeches and comments on the apathetic neglect of the Intaki people by the Federal government has been honed into a single law.
Can there be any more damning bit of evidence that membership in the Gallente Federation is not a benefit to the people of the Intaki Sovereignty?
How can any who live in the effected areas consider the Federation their legal government if this bill is allowed to pass?

An unsettling rumor
Although it has been some time since I undertook any missions for the Senate, a friend of mine who works as an agent in Villore tipped me off to a bill that might soon be debated on the floor.
The law would seek to exclude the occupied Federation systems from the upcoming presidential election. As little faith as I have in the Federation, I cannot believe that such a thing would be allowed to come to pass.
I have already begun preparing a message to Senators who I believe could be key in challenging such a measure. I only hope that the rumor proves false and I will have no need to send it.

A bad feeling
I now have confirmation that Jyotmimana is the newest member of Inaki Pure.
This worries me for several reasons. First, and for reasons I do not understand, Jyotmi has a vendetta against me and takes every opportunity to challenge me. I fear a bad cloning process may have left him mentally damaged.
But also, he is becoming increasingly radical in his views toward non-Intaki. With the ILF's view of openly accepting any who wish to follow the Ida and join us in our struggle, I fear Jyotmi's influence may put us at odds with Intaki Pure.
Time will tell, I suppose. Perhaps I am looking for trouble where it doesn't exist.

A new hope?
I was fortunate enough today to be granted a short audience with Celes Aguard, Governor of the Mies system. She is currently campaigning for the Gallente Presidency and I have to say that I hope she wins.
Although she and I differ in our views on a number of issues, I believe she is the best of the current crop of candidates and will be the most likely to entertain the idea of a peaceful Intaki secession.
Aguard recently appeared in Lirsaurtton where she spoke mostly about Jin Mei issues, but she also said things that were encouraging to me as an Intaki.
"When frontier settlements starve under Caldari blockades, and riots and panic spreads among those who feel they are voiceless, all our leaders can say is 'toughen up,'" said Aguard in her speech. "Fear is a powerful motivator, but it has failed to quell the governmental apathy toward the minorities of the Federation."
At least she understands and acknowledges the problem.
