OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE EMPIRE

After a recent revision of some lexical meanings, we inform all subjects of the empire that from now on it is allowed to use the words FREEDOM - LIBERATION and their derivatives in the following cases:

-"FREE market": our slogan... It guarantees that everything can be sold and bought and secures the rights and interests of our fellow industrialists, multinationals' stockholders, bankers, owners of oil companies, arm traders et.c.

-"Infinite FREEDOM": humanitarian operation aiming, among others, at the LIBERATION of the Afghan people (for the moment, because there are many more waiting), and especially pursuing the emancipation of the Afghan women. It is carried out by the NATO charity institution and conducted by sensitive pioneer feminist groups of U.S. and British marines.

-"FREEDOM-loving guys": The byname of the allies in the above mentioned noble operation. They are the elected and non-elected leaders of more than 60 states who support the "war against terrorism". Some of them have shown their love for freedom before, in other international situations (like in Iraq and Yugoslavia), while others were until now limitted to local action. Some of them hang out together more often (they meet in various banquets, like the E.U. or the G8 summits, where they don't throw away the opportunity to love freedom), while others barely do they talk to each other. It remains a bit ambiguous who exactly belong to this club, but recently they are becoming more.

-"FREEDOM of movement": Precious right provided to the citizens of the European Union by the Schengen Treaty, which removes all internal national borders. This way, tourism, business and other valued avocations are allowed, provided that this privilege can be lifted when some abusers of our freedom start wandering around purposely or not and cause disorder inside the Fortress. Naturally, due to this excessive liberality in the internal borders, the external ones are being fortified in order to confront the intruders, the dangerous and insanitary populations who infest our properties.

-"FREE use of the (police) weapons": Another tone of freedom, related to the State Security Corps this time... No more prejudice. No more ridiculous cops' excuses "my gun accidently shot by itself, the bullet lost its way et.c.." This specific freedom helps us challenge the taboos that have been tormenting our country. Just as the official declaration says, "things have changed now...", so as to remind us that today we live in democracy, there is no more totalitarianism, no more racism and political persecutions. Indeed, this new rule is being experimentally tested with astonishing results on violators of the high-way code, juvenile criminals, anarchists, immigrants and gypsies.

IGNORANCE IS POWER - WAR IS PEACE
