DSS apologizes: Dear Congress, SFP and the American people
Josh Whitehead
Introduction
Before I apologize, let's have a talk. My name is Josh Whitehead, or better known as Dirty Scarlet Silverbeard. Either name is very well known in eUSA, eSA and other parts of eRepublik.
Military noob, media whore, political whore and outspoken player. When I feel something is right, I speak up. When I feel something isn't right, I speak up.
When I returned in early December of 2015, I JUMPED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR. Like totally jumped into it. No clothes on, not even a chance to put on my pirate hat. The Pro-Dictators vs. the Anti-Dictators were thrashing at each other with regard to what kind of leadership our country should have. I put myself into the spotlight of all this.
The Congressmen before me or my current class of December went to a discussion without hearing from the public first, in regard to;
“Should we make it against the eLaw for anyone, and we mean anyone to fight (revolt) against their own nation?”. It sounded like a personal agenda to me, to protect their own seats and hopefully run POTUS candidates of their same bodily fluids.
Congress talked and talked and then voted. It barely passed by 67%. It doesn't matter if it “won by a margin”. Plato, himself, introduced this new gaming module to allow a governing party or persons to revolt on something they do not agree on. A chance where, let's say eSouth Africa was PTOed as a whole, to turn their nation around.
However, eUSA is a MUCH larger country with a governing body. We literally have the manpower to take our country back from those who threaten our nation for personal agendas or yadda yadda.
However, we cannot save ourselves, apparently. I was VP of eUSA until the previous Congress pressured Gnilraps.
Many who are currently in Congress know I'm blacklisted because I was one of 24 people who revolted against a governing body of people. Apparently I can't do that, because Congress said so, and it’s written.
I do not agree. I am not a traitor, I’m a freedom fighter. I am a minute men. I am an eUSA citizen who is angry at his own failing Government.
Ok, here it is what you have all been waiting for
I am a HUGE contributor in this whole fiasco. I am a proud member of SFP, Bear Calvary and now Congress. All eyes have been on me lately.
I am blacklisted. I am the center of attention because SFP ran me. SFP held a democratic vote in the SFP forums and I swept into 10th place. SFP has a Constitution as well. I follow it, along with SFP. I rightfully won. However, I did not follow the forums laws.
You know what… I am. I am the Sith Lord in all this. I am sorry that this whole fiasco has arisen in Congress and that I apologize for that. But I do not regret my action taken against the Dictatorship, and I believe my fellow SFP should not, either. Anyone who revolts against their Government because they are fed up, should not apologize, either. Law or no law.
I ran a Congressional campaign of “For the people” and I am sticking to it.
I am a firm believer in the voice of the people. I put the people first before anything. I am going to defy those who do not agree with “the voice of the people”.
However, I am really really sorry that things have flared up, but ya know what? You may not like hearing it, but it is what it is. Josh knows what’s up, the people know what’s up.
SFP places its loyalty in not just its Party members, but in the people, and the nation. This is why SFP has GROWN in numbers in recent time. But it’s not about being #1, 2, 3 or whatever, that ranking only shows the growing support for the ideals the SFP stands for. It’s about representing the true will of the people, and when necessary fighting for it.
This presents what is known as a “Catch-22” situation. That’s when there’s a rule which prevents fixing a problem. You can’t find your glasses without your glasses. You can’t find the light switch in the dark. And you can’t fight tyranny without breaking the laws the tyrants make up.
Things are changing around here and for the better. Everything I have campaigned for, is not for personal agendas or for personal gain. This is for our nation, as a whole. We stick together, we fight together and we work together. Does not matter what party you are in. We are all Americans, one America, United we stand.
I hope my fellow Congressmen, may it be behind closed doors or for the world to see. Talk about unblacklisting me and many others who are fighting for the good will. It's completely inhumane and does not justify anything other than a “it's not fair, but it is the law of the land”.
Because if they (this current group who are hostile) want to keep dragging this on, drag me down with it. Man the poop decks, we're going in for a bumpy ride. I will ride this rage until things change fairly and for everyone.
PTO threat
SFP, we are now being threatened of being PTOed, against our own nation. Or, against a group of people who are starting to become paranoid and scared that their power is slowly fading away. So, they have to incite fear and propaganda to reassure the public that “we’re the bad people,” and throw the attention on something else other than themselves.
HA! Click here for applesauce, page two, near bottom.
Precedent has shown that the official stance of the eUS government is that it will not involve itself in Political Takeover of a Party unless that Party is declared a clear and present danger to national security. The government will also not protect a Party, or Anti-Takeover, unless it is under threat by a known national threat. This status, has, in every past instance, been reserved for Ajay Bruno (in various incarnations) who has openly imported voting agents from our eternal enemy, Serbia, and has blatantly expressed desire to turn our nation over to them after cleaning out the till for himself.
Now we have a group of elected Congressmen openly discussing the option of PTO’ing the SFP as punitive action for defying Congressional decree. They have engaged this discussion in the Public Congress forum thread originally opened for the discussion regarding repealing the Blacklist of those previously sanctioned for their participation in last month’s Anti-Dictatorship action. They have effectively declared the SFP to represent a national threat, and use their positions of power and authority to push an agenda to suppress the dissenting voice of America.
Congress, without me (a fellow Congressmen) or the people involved, are talking about creating a new “law” that;
“Gives them the ability to annex a party, that does not agree with them”. This basically means that you are not only allowed to not fight against your government, but you cannot speak up. Again, this is everything I have campaigned against. You should too.
Something smells, here, and it ain’t fish. Abuse of the public trust under the badge of authority, that’s what stinks.
All in all
Case point; I am sorry for any harm or disorder I have brought to Congress, to the people, and to my Party.
Case point; I am not sorry for standing up for what I believe. I am not sorry that I got voted into Congress. I am not sorry I defied the meta law of Revolting. I am not sorry I have the same ideology as fellow members of SFP, BSP or anyone else. I am not sorry I am outspoken.
I will continue to run for Congress each month if I am able to, if RL does not kick in OR SFP is like “naw, we hate you now.” Or any other circumstance, because why not? I earned my votes, and you can too.
Ok, who is next?

Yo ho,
Yo ho
A pirates life for me
i can't give much, but if that pto will take place, you got one more vote for SFP
A traitor draping himself in patriotism. Your actions hurt our country and you have the gall to say you are a patriot. Deliberately opening our country to the possibility of a foreign takeover is not what people who love their country do. It's unfortunate that you cannot see how bypassing the law of the democratically elected congress makes you a harm to our country.
I've shown loyalty to eUS for half a decade.
Calm down! Why are you acting so bloodthirsty?
Citations needed SColbert. Where did I stated in this article that i was going to creat a super duper secret club and accept citizenship and opemln for a forign takeover. Thats why we have the IES, right? Oh wait....
A traitor is one who is an agent, willingly and knowingly, for a foreign power. DSS is not an agent of a foreign government, his actions do not constitute treason.
Further Dirty Scarlet Silverbeard was never blacklisted. No passed law with that name was ever passed. He must be seated in congress.
He must be because he was duly elected by the people!
So, what would you call a President who defected to the enemy straight out of the White House; then fought against American interest in an American Core Region? Don't tell me, a Boy Scout; yes?
Oh yeah there is that. Wait until your country is occupied and flee to one of your enemies. No fun ruling a collapsed country.
Who was that?
Henry Pfeiffer Arundel, the driving force behind both the Blacklist and the new Amendment.
god you need a life....
:facepalm:
Whitebread hit this one right outta the friggin' ballpark..!
somehow, though, I'm not seeing this as the begging and groveling apology the talking heads were looking for.
Wwlp, they asked one and here it is. Lol
It isn't in any way an apology. Your reading comprehension must be going with age, George.
I read it as an indictment against you and your kind.
your perception has been limited by the narrow path you choose.
It more of an apology than America got when you defected and fought against American interest, if fact you have never apologized.
Maybe we should Blacklist Mr. Arundel.
Go get the votes, CHS.
Pfeiffer, I consider this your admission that morality, propriety do not enter into it. Just a matter of going and getting the votes. You are a good vote counter and I think you are seeing that vote margin eroding.
I don't at all, actually.
Worker Gang is pulling votes from the feds. Henry probably hasn't noticed, but I'll bet that some of the feds have.
As one of few congress members that inform people in-game; you have my vote.
tldr; run you have scorned a wombat

gee, Mr. Mirage, why don't you tell us how you really feel?
you write like an angry old man-- you wanna ghost write a few articles for me?
That would depend on what you'd be having me write for you.
kidding, man.. you've got mad skills, though, and I look forward to seeing them utilized in the coming weeks.
Damn, here I was hoping for a job... I guess I'll just have to make due with the compliment then.
The SFPOM would give you a job and you can write about anything you wish....
Being a part of the last group that saw this cabal for what it is, I think you are spot on, DSS. This has only gotten worse. If I can lend any assistance to you, feel free to ask.
Thank you very much. Much appreciated. Just keep on keeping on!

F*CK YEAH, PREACH IT WHITEHEAD!
F YEAH!
I will spend every penny I have plus a lot more paying back a congress that chooses to PTO my party. Not a threat, it's fact.
Excellent article. The cause is just.
If there is an attempted PTO against the SFP I will never hit another damage point for the eUS.
Ha ha Tom I already beat you to that! Zero damage from this blacklister and zero eUS prios from my MU while any of our members are blacklisted.
an immediate priority in this 97th Congress.
there is now in progress an Unblacklist Proposal, and upon gathering ten approvals will move to a Vote.
the Vote will be structured exactly as the Blacklist was-- there's a list of names, each Congressman will vote Yes or No on each name.
watch the Public Congress board for this.
That is called blackmail
That is called blackmail
you reap blackmail if what you sow was blacklisting
10/10 logic
Tl😉r, sorry not sorry?
Very much not sorry like most of the rest of us.
How would you know if you "TL😃R"? . Your comment is invalid. Read it and understand my apology. My apology is there.
Oh, I read it. I was asking if you feel that my summary was accurate.
No, its not. Go reread it.
You're sorry you cause disorder and literally nothing else.
