The Traditionalist Chronicle
June 14, 3 T.E.

San Francisco — Today saw a major victory in the struggle for the
heart of America. A major Internet data center was destroyed by Victorian Guard
forces. After several hours of firefight, the overwhelming force of the
government-backed forces overcame the insurgents guarding the Santa Clara
Valley stronghold. Several Technologist rebels were captured for interrogations
as the troops combed the premises before placing explosive charges on the illegal
computers. The facility was the only center of its kind remaining in the
valley.
The victory
marks a turning point in the reformation of the area formerly known as Silicon
Valley. President Ralston issued a decree officially marking the destruction of
the Technologist enclave. He indicated that the former bastion of technology
will be rebuilt as a manufacturing center named Iron Valley. With the
elimination of the Technologist threat from their strongest population center,
the Traditionalist movement further cements our hold on the greatest nation on
Earth.
This news
comes at a particularly difficult time for the movement. Losses in the
Southwest desert have left a major solar electricity installation in place,
powering the Phoenix compound. The Technologist fortress is believed to be one
of only a handful of remaining concentrations of rebel forces. President
Ralston has promised to re-double forces dedicated to overcoming the base. It
is believed that the complex is funded in part by the Technologist government
in Mexico. Party efforts are underway to cement recent gains in the Mexican
legislature. If our people in Mexico City can overcome the scourge of Mexican
Technologists, we can expect to see a significant reduction in the funding
received by the remnant of Technologist insurgents within our own borders.
Meanwhile,
the Infrastructure Project continues apace. The recent recommendation by
Interior Secretary Adolphous Fox to employ the citizenry in a massive wire
reclamation effort has proven a great success. In the past two months, we have
collected millions of tons of copper, aluminum, and steel to be melted down and
used in the cause of America’s restoration. It is estimated that only a handful
of power plants remain intact. Destruction of transmission lines has left these
remaining plants without a grid to power. It is expected that the remaining
plants will be dismantled and recycled for materials by the beginning of next
year. The hazardous materials from Nuclear power plants will be distributed
selectively as a means to hasten evacuation of certain Technologist
concentrations. By keeping our enemies on the move, we marginalize their
ability to organize.
Strategists
in the Reformation Office have announced a significant program that will be
used to eliminate the now obsolete communications satellites in orbit. In a
very difficult decision, President Ralston has authorized the use of the
remaining long-range ballistic missiles to destroy the satellites. This
departure from our core values did not come without significant opposition from
within the party. Alistair Lester made an appearance in Washington to
participate in the debate. The man, who most Traditionalists recognize as the
movement’s largest financial backer, gave a moving and dramatic speech in support
of the plan. His argument, which was adopted as the official party position, is
that the use of technology in the destruction of technology is acceptable, only
if both pieces of technology are completely destroyed in the process. If by
destroying one piece of technology, we can destroy another as well, it is a
double-win for the cause. The program is expected to commence firing in the
coming weeks.
The
Traditionalist Movement continues to win the hearts and minds of people here
and around the world. The Lester Education Project is moving forward with its
plan to open schools in more places around the country. These schools, as
you’ll recall, are for children of Technologists. Children brought to these
schools will be taught about the values that make humanity thrive. This effort
is playing a critical role in our ability to pass our values to the next
generation. Children who are found in raids of rebel homes and bases are taken
to these schools, where they are cared for and raised properly. The party is grateful
to Madeline Lester for her generous patronage of this vital effort. Without
educating our youth, we cannot hope to return humanity to our glory age.
Finally, we
would like to express our gratitude to those brave soldiers who continue the
battle for the soul of America. Their sacrifices are for the honor of all
humanity. Without their willingness to fight and die for our cause, we could
not possibly hope to overcome the Technologist threat. It is the efforts of
these soldiers that allow us to rest easy in the knowledge that our values and
ideals are being safeguarded from the enemies that would see us submit to technological
slavery. Our words cannot possibly express the true depth of our gratitude.
