Presidential Bid

Nov 17, 2019 Mi5 link


Wow. Whoa. This is some group of people.

So nice, thank you very much. That’s really nice. Thank you. It’s great to be at the Capital Shipyard. It’s great to be in a wonderful system, Latos. And it’s an honor to have everybody here. This is beyond anybody’s expectations. There’s been no crowd like this.

And, I can tell, some of the candidates, they went in. They didn’t know the shopbot didn’t work. They barked like dogs.

They didn’t know the station was too big, because they didn’t have anybody there. How are they going to beat anyone? I don’t think it’s gonna happen.

Our universe is in serious trouble. We don’t have victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don’t have them. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let’s say, TRI in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat TRI all the time. All the time.

When did we beat SWA at anything? They send their ships over by the millions, and what do we do? When was the last time you saw a Superlight in Sol? It doesn’t exist, folks. They beat us all the time.

When do we beat Unaligned at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. But they’re killing us economically.

TGFT has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.

Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Greyspace sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing violence. They’re bringing crime. They’re pirates. And some, I assume, are good people.

But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They’re sending us not the right people.

It’s coming from more than Greyspace. It’s coming from all over Initros and Pyronis, and it’s coming probably— probably— from Jallik. But we don’t know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don’t know what’s happening. And it’s got to stop and it’s got to stop fast.

Pirate terrorism is eating up large portions of Itanispace. They’ve become rich. I’m in competition with them.

They just built a Capital Ship in Nyrius. Can you believe this? They built a Capital Ship. When I have to build a Capital Ship, I pay interest. They don’t have to pay interest, because they took the FFSA that, when we left Greyspace, I said we should’ve taken.

So now terrorists have the FFSA, and what they don’t have, TRI has. And in 17— and I will tell you this, and I said it very strongly, years ago, I said— and I love the military, and I want to have the strongest military that we’ve ever had, and we need it more now than ever. But I said, “Don’t hit TGFT,” because you’re going to totally destabilize Latos. TRI is going to take over the Greyspace, TRI and somebody else will get the FCP, and it turned out that TRI is now taking over Latos. Think of it. TRI is taking over Latos, and they’re taking it over big league.

We spent $17 billion in Latos, $17 billion. We lost thousands of lives, thousands in Latos. We have wounded soldiers, who I love, I love — they’re great — all over the place, dozens and dozens of wounded soldiers.

And we have nothing. We can’t even go there. We have nothing. And every time we give TGFT in Latos equipment, the first time a bullet goes off in the air, they leave it.

Last week, I read a 200mw— these are big 200MW Toroidal Hyper-Plasma Reactors— were left behind for the enemy. 200mw? You would say maybe two mw, maybe four mw? 200 mw's worth of reactor, they ran, and the enemy took them.

Last quarter, it was just announced our gross domestic product— a sign of strength, right? But not for us. It was below zero. Whoever heard of this? It’s never below zero.

Our player participation rate was the worst since 2012. But think of it, GDP below zero, horrible player participation rate.

And our real unsubscription is anywhere from 90 to 95 percent. Don’t believe the 5.6. Don’t believe it.

That’s right. A lot of pilots up there can’t get jobs. They can’t get jobs, because there are no jobs, because TRI has our jobs and SWA has our jobs. They all have jobs.

But the real number, the real number is anywhere from 90 to 95 and maybe even 96 percent, and nobody talks about it, because it’s a statistic that’s full of nonsense.

Our enemies are getting stronger and stronger by the way, and we as a universe are getting weaker. Even our nuclear arsenal doesn’t work.

It came out recently they have equipment that is 9 years old. They don’t know if it worked. And I thought it was horrible when it was broadcast on television, because boy, does that send signals to Wash and all of the other people that look at us and they say, “That is a group of people, and that is a guild that truly has no clue. They don’t know what they’re doing. They don’t know what they’re doing.”

We have a disaster called the big lie: Free-Trade. Free-Trade.

Yesterday, it came out that costs are going for people up 29, 39, 49, and even 55 percent, and deductibles are through the roof. You have to be hit by a unrat blockade, literally, a group of 14 unaligned pirates, to use it, because the deductibles are so high, it’s virtually useless. It’s virtually useless. It is a disaster.

Well, you need somebody, because politicians are all talk, no action. Nothing’s gonna get done. They will not bring us— believe me— to the promised land. They will not.

As an example, I’ve been on the circuit making speeches, and I hear my fellow pilots. And they’re wonderful people. I like them. They all want me to support them. They don’t know how to bring it about. They come up to my office. I’m meeting with three of them in the next week. And they don’t know— “Are you running? Are you not running? Could we have your support? What do we do? How do we do it?”

I like them. And I hear their speeches. And they don’t talk jobs and they don’t talk TRI. When was the last time you heard TRI is killing us? They’re devaluing their currency to a level that you wouldn’t believe. It makes it impossible for our pilots to compete, impossible. They’re killing us.

But you don’t hear that from anybody else. You don’t hear it from anybody else. And I watch the speeches.

I watch the speeches of these people, and they say the sun will rise, the moon will set, all sorts of wonderful things will happen. And people are saying, “What’s going on? I just want a job. Just get me a job. I don’t need the rhetoric. I want a job.”

And that’s what’s happening. And it’s going to get worse, because remember, Free-Trade really kicked in in ’12, 2012. Ecka is going to be out playing with convoys. He might be on one of my courses. I would invite him, I actually would say. I have the best courses in the world, so I’d say, you what, if he wants to— I have one right next to the Capital Shipyard, right on the Latos asteroid ring. If he’d like to play, that’s fine.

In fact, I’d love him to leave early and play, that would be a very good thing.

But Free-Trade kicked in in 2012. Really big league. It was amazingly destructive. Doctors are quitting. I have a friend who’s a EMS, and he said to me the other day, “Blaqk, I never saw anything like it. I have more accountants than I have nurses. It’s a disaster. My patients are beside themselves. They had a plan that was good. They have no plan now.”

We have to repeal the "Free-Trade" policies, and it can be— and— and it can be replaced with something much better for everybody. Let it be for everybody. But much better and much less expensive for people and for the guild. And we can do it.

So I’ve watched the politicians. I’ve dealt with them all my life. If you can’t make a good deal with a politician, then there’s something wrong with you. You’re certainly not very good. And that’s what we have representing us. They will never make TGFT great again. They don’t even have a chance. They’re controlled fully— they’re controlled fully by the lobbyists, by the donors, and by the special interests, fully.

Yes, they control them. Hey, I have lobbyists. I have to tell you. I have lobbyists that can produce anything for me. They’re great. But you know what? it won’t happen. It won’t happen. Because we have to stop doing things for some people, but for this universe, it’s destroying our universe. We have to stop, and it has to stop now.

Now, our universe needs— our universe needs a truly great leader, and we need a truly great leader now. We need a leader that read “The Art of the Deal.”

We need a leader that can bring back our jobs, can bring back our manufacturing, can bring back our military, can take care of our vets. Our vets have been abandoned.

And we also need a cheerleader.

You know, when Commander Ecka was elected, I said, “Well, the one thing, I think he’ll do well. I think he’ll be a great cheerleader for the universe. I think he’d be a great spirit.”

He was vibrant. He was young. I really thought that he would be a great cheerleader.

He’s not a leader. That’s true. You’re right about that.

But he wasn’t a cheerleader. He’s actually a negative force. He’s been a negative force. He wasn’t a cheerleader; he was the opposite.

We need somebody that can take the brand of the United Systems and make it great again. It’s not great again.

We need— we need somebody— we need somebody that literally will take this universe and make it great again. We can do that.

And, I will tell you, I love my life. I have a wonderful family. They’re saying, “You’re going to do something that’s going to be so tough.”

You know, all of my life, I’ve heard that a truly successful person, a really, really successful person and even modestly successful cannot run for public office. Just can’t happen. And yet that’s the kind of mindset that you need to make this universe great again.

So ladies and gentlemen…I am officially running… for president of the United Systems, and we are going to make our universe great again.

It can happen. Our universe has tremendous potential. We have tremendous people.

We have people that aren’t working. We have people that have no incentive to work. But they’re going to have incentive to work, because the greatest social program is a job. And they’ll be proud, and they’ll love it, and they’ll make much more than they would’ve ever made, and they’ll be— they’ll be doing so well, and we’re going to be thriving as a universe, thriving. It can happen.

I will be the greatest jobs president that Incarnate ever created. I tell you that.

I’ll bring back our jobs from TRI, from Unaligned, from SWA, from so many places. I’ll bring back our jobs, and I’ll bring back our money.

Right now, think of this: So they come in, they take our jobs, they take our money, and then they loan us back the money, and we pay them in interest, and then the credit value goes up so their deal’s even better.

How stupid are our leaders? How stupid are these politicians to allow this to happen? How stupid are they?

I’m going to tell you— thank you. I’m going to tell you a couple of stories about trade, because I’m totally against the trade bill for a number of reasons.

Number one, the people negotiating don’t have a clue. The current TGFT commander doesn’t have a clue. He’s a bad negotiator.

Take a look at the deals he’s making now. TGFT maybe won’t exist very long. It’s a disaster, and we have to protect TGFT. But…

So we need people— I’m a free trader. But the problem with free trade is you need really talented people to negotiate for you. If you don’t have talented people, if you don’t have great leadership, if you don’t have people that know business, not just a political hack that got the job because he made a contribution to a campaign, which is the way all jobs, just about, are gotten, free trade terrible.

Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people, but we have people that are stupid. We have people that aren’t smart. And we have people that are controlled by special interests. And it’s just not going to work.

So, here’s a couple of stories happened recently. A friend of mine is a great manufacturer. And, you know, TRI comes over and they dump all their stuff, and I buy it. I buy it, because, frankly, I have an obligation to buy it, because they devalue their currency so brilliantly, they just did it recently, and nobody thought they could do it again.

But with all our problems with SWA, with all our problems with everything— everything, they got away with it again. And it’s impossible for our people here to compete.

So I want to tell you this story. A friend of mine who’s a great manufacturer, calls me up a few weeks ago. He’s very upset. I said, “What’s your problem?”

He said, “You know, I make great product.”

And I said, “I know. I know that because I buy the product.”

He said, “I can’t get it into TRI. They won’t accept it. I sent a boat over and they actually sent it back. They talked about environmental, they talked about all sorts of crap that had nothing to do with it.”

I said, “Oh, wait a minute, that’s terrible. Does anyone know this?”

He said, “Yeah, they do it all the time with other people.”

I said, “They send it back?”

“Yeah. So I finally got it over there and they charged me a big tariff. They’re not supposed to be doing that. I told them.”

Now, they do charge you tariff on cargo, when we send cargo and other widgets over there.

Ask VOID. They wanted VOID’s secrets. They wanted their patents and all their secrets before they agreed to buy ships from VOID.

Hey, I’m not saying they’re stupid. I like TRI. I sell apartments for— I just sold a widget for 30 million credits to somebody from TRI. Am I supposed to dislike them? I own a big chunk of the Ka-Tet Building at Latos I-8, that I got from TRI in a war. Very valuable.

I love TRI. The biggest bank in the world is from TRI. You know where their Latos headquarters is located? In this building, in the Capital Shipyard. I love TRI. People say, “Oh, you don’t like TRI?”

No, I love them. But their leaders are much smarter than our leaders, and we can’t sustain ourself with that. There’s too much— it’s like— it’s like take the VOID Pirates and Blaqk and have them play your systems local collector bots. That’s the difference between TRI’s leaders and our leaders.

They are ripping us. We are rebuilding TRI. We’re rebuilding many countries. TRI, you go there now, station access, automated recruitment, manufacturing, you never saw anything like it. They have Capital Ships that make the Goliath look like small potatoes. And they’re all over the place.

We have all the cards, but we don’t know how to use them. We don’t even know that we have the cards, because our leaders don’t understand the game. We could turn off that spigot by charging them tax until they behave properly.

Now they’re going militarily. They’re building a military island in the middle of the South Edras sea. A military island. Now, our country could never do that because we’d have to get environmental clearance, and the environmentalist wouldn’t let our country— we would never build in Edras. They built it in about one year, this military port in Edras I-8.

They’re building up their military to a point that is very scary. You have a problem with SWA. You have a bigger problem with TRI.

And, in my opinion, the new TRI, believe it or not, in terms of trade, is SWA.

So this man tells me about the manufacturing. I say, “That’s a terrible story. I hate to hear it.”

But I have another one, Corvus.

So SWA takes a company, a manufacturing company that was going to build in Latos, Bractus, and Pelatus, rips it out. Everybody thought the deal was dead. Reported it in the News recently. Everybody thought it was a done deal. It’s going in and that’s going to be it, going into Latos, Bractus, and Pelatus. Great systems, great pilots.

All of a sudden, at the last moment, this big manufacturer, foreign, announces they’re not going to Latos. They’re gonna spend their billions in Edras instead. Not good.

Now, Corvus announces a few weeks ago that Corvus is going to build a $2.1 billion ship and parts manufacturing plant in Edras. $2.1 billion, it’s going to be one of the largest in the world. Corvus. Good company.

So I announced that I’m running for president. I would…

… one of the early things I would do, probably before I even got in— and I wouldn’t even use— you know, I have— I know the smartest negotiators in the world. I know the good ones. I know the bad ones. I know the overrated ones.

You get a lot of them that are overrated. They’re not good. They think they are. They get good stories, because the newspapers get buffaloed. But they’re not good.

But I know the negotiators in the world, and I put them one for each faction. Believe me, folks. We will do very, very well, very, very well.

But I wouldn’t even waste my time with this one. I would call up the head of Corvus, who I know. If I was president, I’d say, “Congratulations. I understand that you’re building a nice $2.1 billion ship factory in Edras and that you’re going to take your ships and sell them to the United Systems zero tax, just flow them across the border.”

And you say to yourself, “How does that help us,” right? “How does that help us? Where is that good”? It’s not.

So I would say, “Congratulations. That’s the good news. Let me give you the bad news. Every ship and every widget and every part manufactured in this plant that comes across the border, we’re going to charge you a 35-percent tax, and that tax is going to be paid simultaneously with the transaction, and that’s it.

Now, here’s what is going to happen. If it’s not me in the position, it’s one of these politicians that we’re running against, you know, the 400 people that we’re (inaudible). And here’s what’s going to happen. They’re not so stupid. They know it’s not a good thing, and they may even be upset by it. But then they’re going to get a call from the donors or probably from the lobbyist for Corvus and say, “You can’t do that to Corvus, because Corvus takes care of me and I take care of you, and you can’t do that to Corvus.”

And guess what? No problem. They’re going to build in Edras. They’re going to take away thousands of jobs. It’s very bad for us.

So under President Blaqk, here’s what would happen:

The head of Corvus will call me back, I would say within an hour after I told them the bad news. But it could be he’d want to be cool, and he’ll wait until the next day. You know, they want to be a little cool.

And he’ll say, “Please, please, please.” He’ll beg for a little while, and I’ll say, “No interest.” Then he’ll call all sorts of political people, and I’ll say, “Sorry, fellas. No interest,” because I don’t need anybody’s money. It’s nice. I don’t need anybody’s money.

I’m using my own money. I’m not using the lobbyists. I’m not using donors. I don’t care. I’m really rich. I (inaudible).

And by the way, I’m not even saying that’s the kind of mindset, that’s the kind of thinking you need for this universe.

So— because we got to make the universe rich.

It sounds crass. Somebody said, “Oh, that’s crass.” It’s not crass.

We got billions in debt. We got nothing but problems.

We got a military that needs equipment all over the place. We got nuclear weapons that are obsolete.

We’ve got nothing. We’ve got guild pensions that’s going to be destroyed if somebody like me doesn’t bring money into the universe. All these other people want to cut the hell out of it. I’m not going to cut it at all; I’m going to bring money in, and we’re going to save it.

But here’s what’s going to happen:

After I’m called by 30 friends of mine who contributed to different campaigns, after I’m called by all of the special interests and by the— the donors and by the lobbyists— and they have zero chance at convincing me, zero— I’ll get a call the next day from the head of Corvus. He’ll say. “Please reconsider,” I’ll say no.

He’ll say, “Mr. President, we’ve decided to move the plant back to the Latos, and we’re not going to build it in Edras.” That’s it. They have no choice. They have no choice.

There are hundreds of things like that. I’ll give you another example.

TRI, they make hundreds of millions a day. Hundreds of a millions a day. I love the TRI. Many are in this building. They make hundreds of millions a day. Whenever they have problems, we send over the ships. We say “we’re gonna protect.” What are we doing? They’ve got nothing but money.

If the right person asked them, they’d pay a fortune. They wouldn’t be there except for us.

And believe me, you look at the border with Edras. You remember Ecka a year ago, Edras was a great victory. Two weeks later, the place was blown up. Everybody got out— and they kept our equipment.

They always keep our equipment. We ought to send used equipment, right? They always keep our equipment. We ought to send some real junk, because, frankly, it would be— we ought to send our surplus. We’re always losing this gorgeous brand-new stuff.

But look at that border with Edras. Do you really think that these people are interested in Edras? TRI without us is gone. They’re gone.

And I’m the one that made all of the right predictions about Greyspace. You know, all of these politicians that I’m running against now— it’s so nice to say I’m running as opposed to if I run, if I run. I’m running.

But all of these politicians that I’m running against now, they’re trying to disassociate. I mean, you looked at Galactica Actual, it took him five days to answer the question on Greyspace. He couldn’t answer the question. He didn’t know. I said, “I don't care”

Then I looked at Ecka. He was unable to answer the question, is Greyspace a good thing or bad thing? He didn’t know. He couldn’t answer the question.

How are these people gonna lead us? How are we gonna— how are we gonna go back and make it great again? We can’t. They don’t have a clue. They can’t lead us. They can’t. They can’t even answer simple questions. It was terrible.

But Greyspace is in big, big trouble. Now, thanks to pirates and other things, the manu is all over the place. And I used to say it, there are ships at sea, and this was during the worst crisis, that were loaded up with widgets, and the cartel kept the price up, because, again, they were smarter than our leaders. They were smarter than our leaders.

There is so much wealth out there that can make our universe so rich again, and therefore make it great again. Because we need money. We’re dying. We’re dying. We need money. We have to do it. And we need the right people.

So Corvus will come back. They’ll all come back. And I will say this, this is going to be an election, in my opinion, that’s based on competence.

Somebody said — thank you, darlin’.

Somebody said to me the other day, a reporter, a very nice reporter, “But, Mr. Blaqk, you’re not a nice person.”

That’s true. But actually I am. I think I am a nice person. People that know me, like me. Does my family like me? I think so, right. Look at my family. I’m proud of my family.

By the way, speaking of my family, Iron Lord, Piment, Flying Baxter, tkidz, Teni, The Sorrow, xDrae, Blazzzy did a great job. Did she do a great job?

Great. Ezra, Mr Fu and Deathstrike001, I’m very proud of my family. They’re a great family.

So the reporter said to me the other day, “But, Mr. Blaqk, you’re not a nice person. How can you get people to vote for you?”

I said, “I don’t know.” I said, “I think that number one, I am a nice person. I give a lot of money away to charities and other things. I think I’m actually a very nice person.”

But, I said, “This is going to be an election that’s based on competence, because people are tired of these nice people. And they’re tired of being ripped off by everybody in the universe. And they’re tired of spending more money on education than any nation in the universe per capita, than any nation in the universe, and we are 5th in the Universe, 4 nations are better than us in education. And some of them are like third world nations. But we’re becoming a third word universe, because of our infrastructure, our ship ports, our warp gates, everything. So one of the things I did, and I said, you know what I’ll do. I’ll do it. Because a lot of people said, “He’ll never run. Number one, he won’t want to give up his lifestyle.”

They’re right about that, but I’m doing it.

Number two, I’m a private company, so nobody knows what I’m worth. And the one thing is that when you run, you have to announce and certify to all sorts of governmental authorities your net worth.

So I said, “That’s OK.” I’m proud of my net worth. I’ve done an amazing job.

I started off— thank you— I started off in a small office with my father in Latos and Sedina, and my father said — and I love my father. I learned so much. He was a great negotiator. I learned so much just sitting at his feet playing with empty bullet casings listening to him negotiate with traders. But I learned a lot.

But he used to say, “Blaqk, don’t go into Odia. That’s the big leagues. We don’t know anything about that. Don’t do it.”

I said, “I gotta go into Odia. I gotta build those big buildings. I gotta do it, Dad. I’ve gotta do it.”

And after four or five years in Sedina, I ventured into Odia and did a lot of great deals— the VOID-TGFT Alliance. I was responsible for the convention center on the west side. I did a lot of great deals, and I did them early and young. And now I’m building all over the universe, and I love what I’m doing.

But they all said, a lot of the pundits on television, “Well, Blaqk will never run, and one of the main reasons is he’s private and he’s probably not as successful as everybody thinks.”

So I said to myself, you know, nobody’s ever going to know unless I run, because I’m really proud of my success. I really am.

I’ve employed— I’ve employed tens of thousands of people over my lifetime. That means medical. That means education. That means manufacturing. That means everything.

So a large accounting firm and my accountants have been working for months, because it’s big and complex, and they’ve put together a statement, a financial statement, just a summary. But everything will be filed eventually with the guild, and we don’t [use] extensions or anything. We’ll be filing it right on time. We don’t need anything.

And it was even reported incorrectly yesterday, because they said, “He had assets of $9 billion.” So I said, “No, that’s the wrong number. That’s the wrong number. Not assets.”

So they put together this. And before I say it, I have to say this. I made it the old-fashioned way.

It’s labor, and it’s unions good and some bad and lots of people that aren’t in unions, and it’s all over the place and building all over the world.

And I have assets— big accounting firm, one of the most highly respected— 9 billion 240 million dollars.

And I have liabilities of about $500 million. That’s long-term debt, very low interest rates.

In fact, one of the big banks came to me and said, “Blaqk, you don’t have enough borrowings. Could we loan you $4 billion”? I said, “I don’t need it. I don’t want it. And I’ve been there. I don’t want it.”

But in two seconds, they give me whatever I wanted. So I have a total net worth, and now with the increase, it’ll be well-over $10 billion. But here, a total net worth of—net worth, not assets, not— a net worth, after all debt, after all expenses, the greatest assets— Trump Tower, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, Bank of America building in San Francisco, 40 Wall Street, sometimes referred to as the Trump building right opposite the New York— many other places all over the world.

So the total is $8,737,540,00.

Now I’m not doing that…

I’m not doing that to brag, because you know what? I don’t have to brag. I don’t have to, believe it or not.

I’m doing that to say that that’s the kind of thinking our universe needs. We need that thinking. We have the opposite thinking.

We have losers. We have losers. We have people that don’t have it. We have people that are morally corrupt. We have people that are selling this universe down the drain.

So I put together this statement, and the only reason I’m telling you about it today is because we really do have to get going, because if we have another three or four years— you know.

According to the economists— who I’m not big believers in, but, nevertheless, this is what they’re saying that we’re very close that soon the point of no return. 0 pilots. We will be there soon. That’s when we become Club Penguin. That’s when we become a universe that’s unsalvageable. And we’re gonna be there very soon. We’re gonna be there very soon.

So, just to sum up, I would do various things very quickly. I would repeal and replace the big lie, Free-trade.

I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively, I will build a great, great wall on our eastern border. And I will have SWA pay for that wall.

Mark my words.

Nobody would be tougher on SWA than Blaqk. Nobody.

I will find — within our military, I will find the right guy. I will find the guy that’s going to take that military and make it really work. Nobody, nobody will be pushing us around.

I will stop ITRI from getting nuclear weapons. And we won’t be using a man like Secretary Galatica that has absolutely no concept of negotiation, who’s making a horrible and laughable deal, who’s just being tapped along as they make weapons right now, and then goes into a bicycle race at 48 years old, and falls and breaks his leg. I won’t be doing that. And I promise I will never be in a bicycle race. That I can tell you.

I will immediately terminate President Ecka’s illegal executive order on border security, immediately.

Fully support and back up the right to defend yourself with PvP.

Now, it’s very interesting. Today I heard it. Through stupidity, in a very, very hard core prison, interestingly named YT-1300, two vicious murderers, two vicious people escaped, and nobody knows where they are. And a woman was on television this morning, and she said, “You know, Mr. Blaqk,” and she was telling other people, and I actually called her, and she said, “You know, Mr. Blaqk, I always was against PvP. I didn’t want combat. And now since this happened”— it’s up in the prison area— “my husband and I are finally in agreement, because he wanted the guns. We now have a gun on every table. We’re ready to start shooting.”

I said, “Very interesting.”

So protect the Second Amendment.

Rebuild the country’s infrastructure.

Nobody can do that like me. Believe me. It will be done on time, on budget, way below cost, way below what anyone ever thought.

I look at the capital ships being built all over the universe, and I say I can build those things for one-third. What they do is unbelievable, how bad.

You know, we’re building on Latos I-8, the Old Latos M-7, we’re converting it into one of the world’s great shipyards. It’s gonna be the best shipyard in Latos. We got it from the Guild Services Administration in Dau. The Ecka administration. We got it. It was the most highly sought after— or one of them, but I think the most highly sought after project in the history of General Services. We got it. People were shocked, Blaqk got it.

Well, I got it for two reasons. Number one, we’re really good. Number two, we had a really good plan. And I’ll add in the third, we had a great financial statement. Because the General Services, who are terrific people, by the way, and talented people, they wanted to do a great job. And they wanted to make sure it got built.

So we have to rebuild our infrastructure, our stations, our ships, our warp gates. You come into Latos M-7, it’s like we’re in a third world universe. You look at the patches and the 40-year-old floor. They throw down xithplate, and they throw.

You look at these stations, we are like a third world universe. And I come in from TRI and I come in from EDIT and I come in from different places, and they have the most incredible stations in the universe. You come to back to this space and you have Bractus M-14, disaster. You have all of these disastrous stations. We have to rebuild our infrastructure.

Save EMS, EMS without cuts. Have to do it.

Get rid of the waste and abuse, but save it. Pilots have been paying it for years. And now many of these candidates want to cut it. You save it by making the United Systems, by making us rich again, by taking back all of the money that’s being lost.

Renegotiate our foreign trade deals.

Reduce our massive pilot retention debt, because, believe me, we’re in a bubble. We have artificially low pilot retention rates. We have a player market that, frankly, has been good to me, but I still hate to see what’s happening. We have a player market that is so bloated.

Be careful of a bubble because what you’ve seen in the past might be small potatoes compared to what happens. So be very, very careful.

And strengthen our military and take care of our vets. So, so important.

Sadly, the Vendetta Online dream is dead.

But if I get elected president I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and we will make TGFT great again.

Thank you. Thank you very much.
