### Speaker(s)

Skyler Brooks

**Brooks:** Here in CONFESS, we have one goal, the same goal we have had since our inception. Seeking World Peace through Equality, Stability, and Security. Creating a fair, just, plentiful and peaceful future for all mankind. We stand here because we know, in our hearts that the old order is one that perpetuates a cruel cycle of exploitation, war, greed, and corruption. Neo-imperialism, wars of hatred, corporations running governments, the forces meant to check them corrupted, and some nations suffering while others prosper.

**Brooks:** And our consciences will no longer allow us to refuse to act! I ask you, why should some peoples go hungry when others have so much? Why should some nations suffer when others could act to help them? And why should young men be sent to fight and die for benefits they will never reap, for causes they don't believe in? These questions are why we are. To put an end to this never-ending cycle of suffering. And to herald in a new era for mankind. One where all races, creeds, religions, genders, and nationalities can prosper, where no family will go hungry, no nation should suffer under poverty, division, and hatred, and we can all share in the wealth and resources as a global community.

**Brooks:** Our enemies mock us and say we are fools, they belittle our cause for never-ending peace as childish. But that itself mirrors their very real rot in their souls. They don't believe in peace, because they don't want it! Because they profit from it! Do you think men like Damon Rommel, Masen Spade, or companies like Sigmus Corporation could be as rich as they are if there was peace? Of course not! They are mercenaries! Architects of disorder! Soldiers profiting from civil war and genocide! They fight against us because misery is a business, because chaos keeps their wine glasses topped and builds their ivory towers while the world suffers and burns! The soldiers of the GSA are sheep, being indoctrinated into fighting for the very system keeping them oppressed! If there was peace, companies like Sigmus and the Black Tusk wouldn't have a business! If there was peace, the people of the GSA would realize their leaders for the corrupt tyrants they are!

**Brooks:** That the real reason they are fighting us. To preserve their own self-interests. To keep ordinary people as slaves, soldiers as blind drones, and the rich keep getting richer. They can't come out and say that, of course. No, they do what they do best. Lie. Indoctrinate. Spread propaganda. Convince their people that we, the ones fighting for their benefit, to liberate them, are the real tyrants. Their lies are insidious and pervasive. Like the Devil in the form of snake, whispering lies to turn man against their saviors. And sadly, despite all the good we have done, all the great things we will continue to accomplish, some people cannot be saved. Some will continue to believe those lies, even in the face of salvation.

**Brooks:** But if you are here, that is because you and your people have seen the light of truth. You dream of a better world, and together, as a Coalition of Nations for Equality, Stability, and Security, we have the means to achieve it! There will be those who resist us, this I know. But we few who refuse to sit back and accept the old order, we few who long for more, this is our time. We are the chosen harbingers for civilization's rebirth! And so we must seize this moment and act! Together, nations of the world, together, as brothers and sisters, together, as one, for the first time in mankind's history, we shall overcome the enemies and bring eternal peace to the world! Long live the New World Order!

**Delegates:** *(cheering) Long live the New World Order!*
