"The People can always be brought to do the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them that the country is being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger"
Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering quoted during the Nuremberg Trials
Location: W.E.R. (Western Earth Republic)
Date: 50 A.U. (After Utopia)
Transcript of tonight's broadcast by noted W.E.R. personality Franklin Harrison, famed for his nightly broadcasts which helped the W.E.R. population endure in the ever growing war against the dreaded P.R.E. (People's republic of the East)
(After the opening music, the national anthem of the W.E.R., the image on screen fades into that of Harrison sitting at his desk behind a map of the world. He begins to speak)
"My fellow children of God, you may have heard the news. The P.R.E. has struck again, wiping out one of the bases of our brave soldiers in the Africa region. But do not be discouraged by this news! Although they may have wiped out one base, they have not destroyed all of our brave troops! And with hundreds more at home willing to put themselves on the line for the good of our great and holy land, we have no chance of losing!"
(Harrison pauses to take a sip from a glass of water on his desk. He then resumes speaking)
"Of course we all know our place in this country as a member of God's chosen race, the holy white race of the W.E.R.! God bless the W.E.R. and God bless the white race for making it into a utopian world! But we mustn't ever stop being vigilant! Not only from the P.R.E., but also from the politically correct leftists and their Jewish overlords, who before bringing about the Giga Wars, nearly wiped out our race with hoards of immigrant barbarians! Can you imagine that?! A world where whites are the minority in their own country! A world where your children would have to share their classes with inferior races while liberal teachers constantly brainwash them into hating their race!Well I for one, refuse to see a world where this is the case! Because I'm a god-fearing patriotic W.E.R. resident who loves living in a utopia and I expect everyone to play their part in keeping this world in place! So good night and Deus Vult! And remember, stay vigilant at all times as you never know when the P.R.E. might attack again!"
(Fade out to the image of the W.E.R. flag while the anthem plays again)
