It is Time to Stop This Impending War!
For the last year we have all been hearing about the impending Thargoid threat! How we must prepare and now we are seeing this drumbeat to war mostly perpetrated by the Federation and the Alliance, with calls for calm coming from Emperor Lavigny-Duval.
A thorough examinations of the facts show a very different picture that the one disseminate by the propagandists .
- It is we, the humans, who expanded into the Pleiades, it is we who are interfering with things we did not understand.
- In all early encounters with the Thargoids it is the humans who have initiated hostilities.
- The resent attacks on the stations in the Pleiades do not in any way appear to be the work of murderous enemies but are more looking like strategic attacks on places with military research. In fact they more appear to be a "bloody nose" operation intended to show us what they can truly do if provoked.
Now we have Aigis developing technology to combat this "trumped up" menace, do we return to the past where we used highly questionable methods in our first encounter with this species?
I have recently visited the Pleiades to assist rescuing inhabitants from these attacked station. On both my way in and my way out I decided to investigate signal sources with un-human sources. Four times I encountered a Thargoid ship. Every time I kept my weapons stowed, the Thargoid scanned my ship and moved on. Never once was I threatened in any way. Are these the actions of a menacing "killer" race? No, I think not!
I am by no means a pacifist. I make my living in combat! As many of us mercenaries say, "War is good for business!" but this war is far from good for business. This war could bring utter devastation to our way of life if not cause our extinction.
The Federation and the Alliance seem to be pushing the narrative that the only answer to this "crisis" is all out military response. Has there been any attempts at communication? Has there been any thought of leaving the Pleiades and leaving only a small contingent to try and communicate and stop this conflict? Not that I have seen.
It is the opinion of this pilot and the opinion of many of the independent pilots that we are being driven to war for reason that are not completely clear. What is the motivation here, who profits from a war with the Thargoids. Are the Pleiades so valuable to humanity that we must risk the chance of a devastating conflict we have very little assurance that we can survive? Where are the other leaders of humanity? Are they just going to go along with this "rush to war"? Where is Aisling Duval on this subject, the so called "Conscience of the Empire" we have heard very little from her on this. Where is Li Yong-Rui? The future of Sirius Corp could hang in the balance. Or does he believe he will profit from this war. Denton Patreus seems to have joined the Federation with his foolish calls to war. At least Yuri Grom has made an appeal for communication while continuing to prepare to defend his people.
It is time for answers from our leaders not just more hype.
I call on all independent pilots to support this open letter and demand answer from the leaders of humanity!
