Reveilled Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 The Vienna Daily January 18th, 1901 Is Austria-Hungary getting the Silent Treatment? It has only been a few short weeks since the Archduke Regent sent envoys to all the major European powers in the hopes of avoiding a possible European war. However, sources inside the Palace say that there have been few replies to the attempts at correspondence, leaving the Archduke disheartened and more than a little paranoid. Rumors of the Archduke's previous bouts with depression seemed to be confirmed today when the Archduke gave the following statement: "Nobody likes me, ev'rybody hates me, I think I'll go and eat worms". Given this revelation, some have questioned whether the Archduke is in fact competent to rule Austria in this potentially troubled time. Anyone seen Nartwak? Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!

Reveilled Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Socialist Radio Vienna August 23rd, 1901 Against the Archduke AUDIO TRANSCRIPT: And so Comrades, we are dragged into this. War. But not class war. Not a war to end exploitation. Not a just, revolutionary war, oh no. The Archduke, that disgusting, bourgeois-sympathysing, aristocratic pig has dragged us into a war against our comrades and brothers! Not content to opress the proletariat of Austria-Hungary, he now spreads his arms to reach for more innocent workers to deprive of what is rightfully theirs! He does not fight for equality, he fights for opression! He fights for exploitation! He fights for his own individualist, petty sense of glory! Some of our comrades have entreated you to refuse to take up arms against our Serbian and Albanian proletarian brothers, and they have urged you to maintain peaceful resistance to the pig-duke and his aristocratic and bourgeois oligarchical tyranny, but I tell you that this is not the time for peaceful resistance! This is a time for revolution! The our comrades in the rest of Europe are with us! The Dialectic is on our side! The dictatorship of the proletariat is within sight! To Arms! To insurrection! TO REVOLUTION! Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!
