The speech is being broadcast live to you from Pravda. <Begins Speech> "My fellow Belarusians. Lend me your ears! You are being lied to. The government is not what you think it is! They are trampling on our rights. Look around you! Already, they have banned the private ownership of guns. Already, they have passed so-called "laws" preventing ordinary citizens from purchasing firearms? No more will law abiding citizens be able to carry machine guns protect their families from pickpockets. No more will we be able to treasure our personal rocket launchers as the antiques they are. Why do they do this? Why does it matter? I'll tell you why. They are selling us out. Yes! They have have already given us to this so-called European "Community." A community of puppet masters! They are selling us out to the Ukrainians, to the Baltics, to the Russians, to the big corporations, to the enemies of the people! We must take to our guns, my fellow citizens! We must fight, fight the evil Ukrainians, fight the corporations, fight the Baltics, fight the-" At this point, a member of the television crew got bored and cut one of the wires.

The KGB men were detained and released by their officers, wo=ho were then detained/released by the head of the KGB himself, who was then detained and released by the President, who also gave the crewman the Medal of Honer and promoted him to the head of The Committee to keep Belarus Safe From Crappy Stuff. The crewman promptly banned some book series called Twilight.

The elections went on normally. OOC: I'm bored and its ninety degrees outside. Edited June 8, 2014 by Mr Director Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Director Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Public: As the parlaimentary elections rage on, many voters have found it odd that the president has not made any speeches, instead leaving regional representatives of his party do most of the campaigning. One of those who have taken his side is the head of the state owned central bank. We at Pravda bring you his speech live. "Good evening my fellow citizens. Before I begin to bore you all to death with my speech, I would like to address one particular concern. Recently, there have been some complaints that the president has not made enough public appearances. I would simply like to say that I have met with the president, and I have found that he is up to his neck in work. He is having to rebuild this country from the ground up, without the assistance of a parlaiment. Which brings us to my main point. The elections. Now, many of you no doubt expect me to tell you who to vote for. But that's not what I do. Instead, I am going to lay out the facts for you, and let the people decide. Here is what the opposition offers you. They offer you war, death, and anarchy. They give you guns and tell you to kill our neighbors, neighbors who have shown nothing but kindness to us, when they could have destroyed us. True, the Russians killed mny of us many decades ago, but those were not the sme Russians, and that was not the same Russia. Those killings were done by people like the opposition party, people who lust for blood, and nothing else. And then there is the president's party, the party that gave this country life. The party that offers you not war, but peace. Not death, but prosperity. They do not claim to be able to give utopia, but they are certainly trying damn hard. So, my fellow countrymen, I ask you, what do you choose? Bloody dreams? Or beutiful reality. Thank you for listening." <crowd bursts into applause> -From Pravda(state run news agency) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Director Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Public Numerous government ministries have just completed their reports to the public, the most anticipated ones being those relating to the economy. We at Pravda bring you a section by section summary. Law Enforcement: Crime rates have remained extremely low in the country, partly due to the fact that one percent of the population is in the police. However, this large force may become difficult to fund in the future, and the government may wish to overhaul the police force. Natural Resources: Belarus currently has many resources that have either gone undiscovered or are not being exploited. Therefore, the Ministry of Resources requests the government's permission to begin a nationwide survey of all our natural resources. KGB: While the KGB's troops are numerous, it is unable to efficiently deploy its forces, instead having to rely on the military. Therefore, the KGB would like to request at least some armored cars in order to effectively deploy in times of crisis. Military: while the military has quickly become a viable fighting force, it still lacks the modern training that many of our neighbors have. Therefore, the Department of Defense would like to present a plan to rotate its troops through the training programs set up by the Ubersteinian peacekeepers more efficiently. In addition to this, all troops that already have undergone them training would be temporarily relegated to a training role, in order to teach other troops. Also... We need more missiles. Economy: So far, the economy has been running quite well, with no debt and minimal inflation. However, if the government wishes to increase its growth, it may have to privatize some of the state owned industries. The Department of Economics is already drawing up a plan for possible future privatizations. Energy: Thanks to the fact that many citizens have been unable to access gas using luxuries such as cars, our current oil production has been able to meet our needs. However, with the economy back on track, this could change quickly, as the demand for cars and other energy using devices goes up. While we do have our reserves, many of those were transferred over to the military. Here are our suggestions. Belarus has seventy has deposits, but only fifty of these are actually being used. As such, we should begin to mine the rest of them. In addition to this, Belarus has 8.8 billion tones worth of shale oil, of which 3.6 billion tones is currently recoverable. This needs to be looked into. Electricity needs are also only just being met, and more power stations need to be built. Other possible ways to solve this problem is to import hydrocarbons from our neighbors. Almost all of our neighbors and in the European Community, and all of them are on a friendly footing towards us. Either way, this problem has the capacity of destroy the country. Welfare: While our welfare program is not massive, it is generally efficient. Even the poorest citizens are able to find jobs, eat, and have a roof over their heads. It's success is partly owed to the fact that we do not simply hand out cash on a platter, but have the recipients work for it, and prove that they are also trying to help themselves. The program remains both popular and sustainable, and it is obvious that the government should keep it. Sanitation: The cities are generally kept clean, mainly due to the fact that unskilled job seekers are offered jobs as street sweepers and garbage men. It may not be glamorous, but it brings food to the table. Education: The country's education system system far from the best, but it works. However, there have been some complaints that Physical Fitness classes are worthless, and the Ministry of Education suggests that it be removed. Industry: Currently, our factories produce cheap, durable, and easy to maintain goods, which has proven to be profitable. However, we are generally limited to internal trade, because we have no external trade agreements. Something needs to be done here. Foreign Affairs: None of our neighbors are trying to kill us...yet. Taxes: As popular as can be expected. Transportation: Roads are generally well maintained, enough said. Budget:We'll balanced, unlike certain other countries that shall go unnamed. The government is expected to make a response to these reports soon. -from Pravda Edited June 8, 2014 by Mr Director Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Director Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Public The government has announced a comprehensive plan to deal with future energy shortages. The plan: 1. Begin exploitation of all unused oil deposits. 2. Begin the construction of wind farms where they are viable. Belarus has massive tracts of open land, and finding spaces for wind farms would be simple. 3. Begin the construction of plants to convert biomass into fuels such as ethanol, butanol, and biodiesel. Much of the country is covered in forests, so there is plenty of biomass. 4. Begin the construction of plants to convert bio gases into usable energy. Belarus has a large agriculture and livestock sector, so there is plenty of biogas to convert. 5. Begin the construction of hydroelectric power plants along the Belarusian portions of the river Dnieper. These projects are expected to be expensive, and will take years to complete. However, if Belarus ever wants to have some say about its energy supplies, it will have to work for it. Construction has already begun in many areas, and while the country will always need some oil, these projects will help reduce that amount to one that doe not leave the country completely defendant on its neighbors. -Pravda Edited June 8, 2014 by Mr Director Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Director Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Classified: In response to the KGB's logistics problems, the government owned Minsk Automobile Plant announced that it was beginning construction on 2500 BMP-97 armored vehicles. Each vehicle would be armed with a Kord machine gun, and will be placed under a joint army-KGB logistics team. This is expected to be a long term project that could last years. Public Due to complaints that physical education classes are a waste of time, public schools have been allowed to drop them from their required curriculum. Instead, there is now a mandatory 45 minutes long military training period for students who are in the tenth grade or up. Exceptions are made based on disabilities and other medical issues. The training is obviously less harsh than actual military training, and is mainly used to teach the basics of self-defense. The classes are being taught by military-appointed instructors, most of whom are former members of the army who meet the requirements. Opinion is split on this recent change, which is due to be implemented in the upcoming school year. -Pravda Edited June 9, 2014 by Mr Director Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The launchers will be built by the state owned JSC Defense Systems, and will be completed in a couple of months. The government also implemented a new training procedure, in which troops would be rotated through Potosk, where they would be given training in modern combat tactics by the peacekeepers there, on a three week basis. Those troops would then be relegated as trainers for three weeks to teach other troops, before returning to their normal duties. The government has also begun the construction of a ground based radar system, which will be able to detect almost any aircraft or missile flying in Belarusian territory. In addition to this, research has also begun for ground-based missile facilities. Public The Ministry of Resources has begun a full survey of the country. The survey is to explore the possibilities of new oil fields and other undiscovered resources. The surveys will be taking several months, and is the largest such operation in the history of Belarus.

He will be temporarily held in Minsk Detention Facility No. 1., before being transferred to the Bereza Kartuska prison.

Mr Director Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Classified conversation between President Lukachenko and Valery Vakulchik, the head of the KGB Lukachenko: You've no doubt heard the verdict. Vakulchik: I knew the verdict before the judge did. Lukachenko: I still find it wonderfully ironic. After all, Ryus did win the elections for us. Vakulchik: The elections had already been won at that point. The only thing Ryus did was shrink the margin. Lukachenko: Nevertheless, he did help us, and we did help him. Vakulchik: We did nothing...literally. We may have known where he was going to strike, but that doesn't mean we helped him. We just didn't try to stop him. In any case, that man is too dangerous to be running around free. He has shown far too much inside knowledge of our security systems. There is no telling who he will tell. Lukachenko: Do we have any idea who he is yet? Vakulchik: No. We are not even sure he is a nationalist. I mean, most of the people he killed were from the nationalist party. Lukachenko: The nationalist party is a pack of idiots, and no true nationalist would let them run the country. Vakulchik: in any case, I will be visiting him in prison, to see if I can find out some more. It is possible that he was a member of the old regime. Lukachenko: Very well then. I will see you at this afternoon's briefing. Vakulchik: Good day Mr. President. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
