"Good evening, I'm James Kent, with Holo 5 News. We have breaking developments in the Raptor's Roost and Clarion Station bombing. A break away group of the Liberation Front, called the Guards of Clarion, have taken responsibility for the bombing and have just issued a manifesto.
They call their manifesto, The Declaration of the Rights of the Citizens of Clarion.
It's brief statement reads, 'We the Guards of Clarion do affirm and assert the natural and impresciptible rights of the citizen to liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression. We hereby call for the destruction of aristocratic privileges and the proclaiming of an end to exemptions from taxation. We assert the freedom and equal rights for all citizens, and access to public office based on talent. The monarchy is to be dismantled, and all citizens are to have the right to take part in the legislative process. All the citizens, being equal in the eyes of the law, are equally admissible to all public dignities, places, and employments, according to their capacity and without distinction other than that of their virtues and of their talents and we declare the eliminating the special rights of the nobility.'
With me tonight is the Sir C. C. Albrite, Professor of Political Sciences at Clarion University, Valentia and author of the book "Withered Vine, the Demise of the Liberation Front". Professor thank you for coming."
"My pleasure to be here"
"Now professor the thesis of your book is that the Liberation Front was a fading if not dead movement but recent events with involving this LF splinter group, the Guards of Clarion would seem to say that the news of their demise is premature. How would you respond to that."
"Well, James, I would contend that the Guards of Clarion represent a totally new group. Sure they may have swept up the disaffect and more radical members of the LF but they are a new animal all together......."
