FREEDOM! FREEDOM? OPPRESSION.
DOWN WITH JUAN MARIA CORDOVA!

What is freedom? Are we really free? Or are we under the yoke of new oppressors?
Juan del Garcia la Bonavera
Freedom is more than an abstract concept. Freedom is more than a President of our people and our nation. Freedom is the power to fight as we will, to use our land as we please. Freedom is not surrendering our land to foreign powers. I write from Bogota, where we have seen the neighbouring land of Antioquia have their entire foreign rights surrendered to the French for exploitation. The French have come in and swept up massive swathes of land, ruining people, flooding waters and otherwise ruining our free way of life. What is freedom if we are not free, but under the yoke of different oppressors?
Freedom cannot be true when we are weak and divided. Some say that every government must run in its smallest form. That is the ideology the Popes have rightly ideated. But let me ask - can we trust our leaders to abide by the godly practices of the religious? No - we need strong leadership here - because we are weak alone, and need the strength of forceful leadership. Let us not let the provinces surrender our freedom one by one - this will just be a race to the bottom! We must work together, we must fight - for the unity of our nation - for only as one will we be free.
Will the people stand any longer? They are surely upset already - the French have brought their culture in, and have been exploiting us, and have been ruining our lands with their industry and agriculture. We must learn to live for ourselves - in subsistence - rather than being colonised under a different yoke. We cannot stand for those, like Juan Maria Cordova, who betray their true centralist principles and go for federalism where it grants them power. A betrayer of his beliefs, he is!
