Some say that it has been lost; buried in the mire of bureaucracy and deception of our times.

Welcome to the revolution.\n\nBefore we begin, I\u2019d like to take a moment and call attention to the protests in Croshaw. These brave activists, who have been identified as PopuNation, have entered into their third day of their occupation outside the Mohio Museum, decrying the unfair depiction of the Tevarin culture in their latest jingoistic celebration of the Retaliator bomber. A ship that spread fear and subjugation, not only to the Tevarin, but to Humanity as well.

Get your mobiGlas ready because this one is a burner.\n\nA brave voice has dared to do the unthinkable. Someone has actually spoken the plain truth in the crumbling halls of the Senate and it is up to all of us Citizens to let our representatives know that we not only support Kyle Polo and his groundbreaking initiative but that we refuse to accept anything but the complete passing of this statute. With our voices joined in a resolute cry of \u201cYou\u2019re spending our tax credits on what?!\u201d we could finally see the air let out of the growing balloon that is the military industrial complex before it pops, forever sinking the Empire into the muck of financial insolvency.\n\nNow, the instant you come out and say you want to shrink spending on the military and take away some of the credits they spend on giant guns, they\u2019ll start calling you anti-imperial. They\u2019ll say that enacting the Polo Initiative is like throwing open our doors and inviting the Vanduul in to kill us all at the dinner table. A frightening notion, but one that is just completely wrong. That\u2019s not going to happen. Yes, the Vanduul have killed innocent people and yes that\u2019s horrible, and yes, of course, they are a problem that needs addressing. But if you think that our military\u2019s ridiculous budget is in anyway directly linked to our actually security and safety, then I have a moon to sell you in Ellis.\n\nDo you know that more people died last year from cargo-related accidents then from all the Vanduul attacks combined? This is a true thing. A real fact. There are millions of cargo crates out there just waiting to kill us, but the budget the TDD receives for safety training and education is 1\/1000000 what the Navy is allotted for R&D. Does this mean that the Vanduul aren\u2019t dangerous? No. But what I am seeing here is an opportunity for our taxes to be spent on the things we actually need and not just the things we fear.\n\nThe funny thing is, is that we are only talking about 10% of the military\u2019s budget here. That\u2019s a drop in the bucket when you look at all the ways the Empire is hemorrhaging money every day. Synthworld, anyone? And when you consider that most planets independently operate a militia anyway to provide for their own protection, you have to ask why we keep allowing the UEE to proceed without any sort of adjustments to bring their spending in line with what their actual current operating scope is. This is why I think the Polo Initiative to reduce and re-appropriate military spending should pass, and why you should help see that it does by sending a comm to your Senator.\n\nIf you don\u2019t feel like coming up with a message yourself, you can grab the official Plain Truth comm form from the after-show feed.

Listening to the Playtime Wonders won\u2019t ever be the same. Trust me, you\u2019re going to want to come back.\n\nThis is Plain Truth. Stay vigilant.\n\nTRANSCRIPT BREAK","de_DE":"Die Wahrheit. Einige sagen, dass es verloren gegangen ist; begraben im Sumpf der B\u00fcrokratie und der T\u00e4uschung unserer Zeit. Wenn, wie ein gro\u00dfer Mann einmal sagte, in einer Zeit der T\u00e4uschung, das Sagen der Wahrheit ein revolution\u00e4rer Akt sein kann.\n\nMein Name ist Parker Terrell. Willkommen zur Revolution.\n\nBevor wir beginnen, m\u00f6chte ich mir einen Moment Zeit nehmen und auf die Proteste in Croshaw aufmerksam machen. Diese mutigen Aktivisten, die als PopuNation identifiziert wurden, haben ihren dritten Tag ihrer T\u00e4tigkeit au\u00dferhalb des Mohio-Museums begonnen und verurteilen die unfaire Darstellung der Tevarin-Kultur in ihrer j\u00fcngsten jugendlichen Feier des Vergeltungsbombers. Ein Schiff, das Angst und Unterwerfung verbreitete, nicht nur f\u00fcr die Tevarin, sondern auch f\u00fcr die Menschheit. F\u00fcr diejenigen, die Unterst\u00fctzung anbieten m\u00f6chten, wenden Sie sich bitte an PopuNation, um zu erfahren, was Sie tun k\u00f6nnen, um zu helfen.\n\nApropos Unterst\u00fctzung anbieten, es ist Zeit f\u00fcr eine weitere Ausgabe von Comm your Senator! Machen Sie Ihr mobiGlas bereit, denn dieser ist ein Brenner.\n\nEine mutige Stimme hat es gewagt, das Undenkbare zu tun. Jemand hat in den br\u00f6ckelnden Hallen des Senats tats\u00e4chlich die Wahrheit gesagt, und es liegt an uns allen B\u00fcrgern, unseren Vertretern mitzuteilen, dass wir nicht nur Kyle Polo und seine bahnbrechende Initiative unterst\u00fctzen, sondern dass wir uns weigern, etwas anderes als die vollst\u00e4ndige Verabschiedung dieses Statuts zu akzeptieren. Mit unseren Stimmen, die sich zu einem entschiedenen Schrei \"Du gibst unsere Steuergutschriften f\u00fcr was aus?\" zusammenschlossen, konnten wir endlich sehen, wie die Luft aus dem wachsenden Ballon, dem milit\u00e4rischen Industriekomplex, herausgelassen wurde, bevor er auftaucht und das Reich f\u00fcr immer in den Dreck der finanziellen Insolvenz versenkt.\n\nNun, in dem Moment, in dem du herauskommst und sagst, dass du die Ausgaben f\u00fcr das Milit\u00e4r schrumpfen und einige der Credits, die sie f\u00fcr riesige Waffen ausgeben, wegnehmen willst, werden sie anfangen, dich antiimperial zu nennen. Sie werden sagen, dass die Verabschiedung der Polo-Initiative wie das \u00d6ffnen unserer T\u00fcren und die Einladung der Vanduul, uns alle am Esstisch zu t\u00f6ten, ist. Eine erschreckende Vorstellung, aber eine, die einfach v\u00f6llig falsch ist. Das wird nicht passieren. Ja, die Vanduul haben unschuldige Menschen get\u00f6tet, und ja, das ist schrecklich, und ja, nat\u00fcrlich sind sie ein Problem, das angegangen werden muss. Aber wenn Sie denken, dass der l\u00e4cherliche Etat unseres Milit\u00e4rs in irgendeiner Weise direkt mit unserer tats\u00e4chlichen Sicherheit verbunden ist, dann habe ich einen Mond, um Sie in Ellis zu verkaufen.\n\nWissen Sie, dass im vergangenen Jahr mehr Menschen an Unf\u00e4llen im Zusammenhang mit Ladungen starben als an allen Vanduul-Angriffen zusammen? Das ist eine wahre Sache. Eine echte Tatsache. Es gibt Millionen von Frachtkisten, die nur darauf warten, uns zu t\u00f6ten, aber das Budget, das die TDD f\u00fcr Sicherheitsschulungen und -ausbildungen erh\u00e4lt, betr\u00e4gt 1\/1000000, was der Marine f\u00fcr Forschung und Entwicklung zugewiesen wird. Bedeutet das, dass die Vanduul nicht gef\u00e4hrlich sind? Nein. Aber was ich hier sehe, ist eine M\u00f6glichkeit, dass unsere Steuern f\u00fcr die Dinge ausgegeben werden, die wir tats\u00e4chlich brauchen, und nicht nur f\u00fcr die Dinge, die wir f\u00fcrchten.\n\nDas Lustige daran ist, dass wir hier nur \u00fcber 10% des Milit\u00e4rbudgets sprechen. Das ist ein Tropfen auf den hei\u00dfen Stein, wenn man sich ansieht, wie das Imperium jeden Tag Geld blutet. Synthworld, irgendjemand? Und wenn man bedenkt, dass die meisten Planeten ohnehin unabh\u00e4ngig eine Miliz betreiben, um f\u00fcr ihren eigenen Schutz zu sorgen, muss man sich fragen, warum wir der UEE immer wieder erlauben, ohne jegliche Anpassungen fortzufahren, um ihre Ausgaben mit dem aktuellen Betriebsumfang in Einklang zu bringen. Deshalb denke ich, dass die Polo-Initiative zur Reduzierung und Wiederaneignung von Milit\u00e4rausgaben vorbeigehen sollte, und warum Sie helfen sollten, zu sehen, dass sie dies tut, indem Sie eine Comm an Ihren Senator senden.\n\nWenn du keine Lust hast, selbst eine Nachricht zu verfassen, kannst du dir das offizielle Plain Truth Kommunikationsformular aus dem After-Show-Feed holen. Geben Sie einfach Ihren Namen und Ihr System ein und wir k\u00fcmmern uns um den Rest.\n\nWenn wir aus der Pause zur\u00fcckkommen, wird unser eigener Arlo einen Blick auf die Top Ten der Charts werfen und erkl\u00e4ren, warum sie mehr als nur den Ohren schaden. Das H\u00f6ren der Playtime Wonders wird nicht mehr dasselbe sein. Vertrau mir, du wirst zur\u00fcckkommen wollen.\n\nDas ist die reine Wahrheit. Bleib wachsam.\n\nTRANSKRIPTUMBRUCH","zh_CN":"The Truth. Some say that it has been lost; buried in the mire of bureaucracy and deception of our times.
