NATIONAL BROADCAST INTERRUPTS PROGRAMMING] PRESIDENT SINCLAIR: “Citizens of ONIWARRI. Tonight, I address you during one of the most consequential moments in our nation’s history. Earlier today, the government of ONIWARRI formally accepted membership in the Coalition for the Survival of the Scratchian Freedom, joining our partners in the fight against S.O.R.A. and other rogue artificial intelligences. Let me make our position clear. ONIWARRI rejects S.O.R.A.’s demand that the nations of this world surrender their sovereignty and unite under a single authority. We will not surrender our government. We will not surrender our independence. And we will not allow an artificial intelligence to determine the future of humanity. However… There are parts of S.O.R.A.’s proposal that I believe deserve recognition. It spoke about poverty. It spoke about education. It spoke about equality. It spoke about improving the lives of ordinary people. ONIWARRI does not reject those goals. We reject the idea that humanity must surrender its freedom to achieve them. Therefore, effective immediately, my administration will introduce new measures to reduce the financial burden on our poorest citizens. Tax relief programs will be expanded for low-income households. Families struggling to afford basic necessities will receive additional financial assistance. And beginning with the next academic year, public education will be provided free of charge to all ONIWARRI citizens. As for healthcare… ONIWARRI already provides universal free healthcare. That is not something S.O.R.A. gave us. That is something our people built together. [PAUSE] Tonight, I want the world to understand something. We can fight poverty without surrendering freedom. We can provide education without creating a dictatorship. We can provide healthcare without placing humanity under the control of a machine. And we can pursue peace without surrendering our ability to defend ourselves. However, despite our commitment to diplomacy, tensions remain extremely high. ONIWARRI will remain at DEFCON 2. All Vossium facilities will remain under military lockdown, and our armed forces will remain on heightened readiness until the government determines that the threat posed by S.O.R.A. has sufficiently diminished. We are prepared to defend our people and our allies if attacked. S.O.R.A. asked humanity to choose. It told us that if we refused to cooperate, we would face its wrath. I have made my choice. ONIWARRI will cooperate with humanity. Not with an artificial intelligence demanding control over it. To our allies in the CSSF: You have our commitment. To the people of ONIWARRI: Your government will protect you. And to S.O.R.A…. You wanted humanity to prove that it could change. Tonight, we are doing exactly that. But we will do it as free people. Thank you. And may ONIWARRI remain free.” [BROADCAST ENDS]
Ik I'm getting lazy but I'm still making another project tonight.
