[Bacon King]

The office of the Attorney General hereby charges Snowstalker with Rebellion, Aiding of a Rebellion, and Terrorism under the terms of the Re-Consolidated Criminal Justice Act (R-CCJA).

Here are the R-CCJA's rules regarding admissibility of evidence:

Pursuant to the above, I request that the Supreme Court promptly assign a Justice for this trial, empanel a jury as legally required, and to propose a manner I may submit evidence so that the Justice may determine its admissibility.

[Bacon King]

I may be "guilty" of the hollow bourgeois "crimes" laid out by the reactionary prosecution even before they have bothered to capture me (The Atlasian working class has cut Manhattan off from the rest of New York in preparation for Operation Tsaritsyn and the captured Minuteman III will be launched whenever the first Atlasian Republican troop sets foot on the island), but then so are all the workers, farmers, students, parents, brothers, and sisters who gave their support to the Revolution. Guilty, then, are those who burned down that den of criminal parasitism, the New York Stock Exchange, and erected the Red Palace over its ashes. Guilty are those who seized their workplaces and begun the process of transforming New York's economy into a democratic and socialist economy. And guilty are those who provided aid and comfort to the valiant urban warriors who opposed the tyranny of the treacherous Tyrion and the Teutonic liar Cranberry. If I am captured I have no intention of challenging the accusations against me, for I have committed all of them. But I feel no shame for fighting to overthrow the rotten old regime and establish a new Atlasia, a workers' Atlasia.

Given that this communication demonstrates the defendant's ability to participate in court proceedings, I propose that this indicates he can capably "be informed of the nature and cause of the accusations against him", and "be confronted with the witnesses against him", and possesses the capability to "obtain witnesses in his favor"; therefore this trial can proceed regardless of any capture or arrest. Furthermore the punishments allowed to this court (i.e. bans on officeholding and voting) do not require his "physical" presence.

[Bacon King]

This been seen.

Mr. Attorney General, the Constitution requires that a jury be empaneled from the population of the region in which the alleged offences in question were committed. While this seems like something of an oversight on behalf of the framers given the national implications of the issue at hand, in what region would you allege said offences were committed?

I would submit that the Northeast is the most proper venue, given that according to SOIA reports the territory controlled in his rebellion was within that region, although I believe any region would suffice given the nationwide nature of his attempted rebellion.

[Bacon King]

The following quoted posts are the evidence to be used against Mr. Snowstalker:

Atlasia, clearly, is in chaos. The major parties have respectively nominated a fascist sympathizer with a godawful slogan to boot and the guy who TNF likes to tar as a fascist but is really just a milquetoast neoliberal. It is clear that severe reordering is needed to save the game and the country, and as Attorney General, top law enforcement official in Atlasia, I believe I am the best candidate to restore order and transfer power to the Atlasian proletariat. Therefore I am provisionally ordering Congress dissolved, though for the moment all Cabinet officials shall remain at their posts. Saving this country from chaos and dismemberment by the capitalist class will be a hard job, but I shall handle it well boom phrasing

x Snowstalker, Provisional Chairman of the Revolutionary Junta of the People's Republic of Atlasia

I hereby assume office as Provisional Chairman of the Revolutionary Junta of the People's Republic of Atlasia. I shall also assume office as Secretary of External Affairs and retain my position of Attorney General.

Red Palace, New York, People's Republic of Atlasia

Comrades! The old order has collapsed in upon itself, despite attempts to revive it by counterrevolutionary bandits. Before organizing our socialist democracy we must first smash these counterrevolutionaries swiftly and decisively. As my first act as Provisional Chairman, I hereby codify the replacement of all branches of the old Atlasian military with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of the People's Republic of Atlasia, under the direct command of yours truly. Long live the revolution.

x Snowstalker, Provisional Chairman of the Revolutionary Junta of the People's Republic of Atlasia

The October Elections are hereby postponed indefinitely until the Junta is able to establish order across the Atlasian republic. In addition, the reactionary Marokai is to be guillotined along with Wormyguy, as the Sitka re-education camp is already past carrying capacity.

This "president" has ascended to the top of the bourgeois state by deceiving the Atlasian workers of his secret identity! Thankfully, he is not opposed in his endeavor to terrorize the proletariat. The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Atlasia, led by the Revolutionary Junta of the People's Republic of Atlasia, have secured New York and are returning the stolen capital and property to the workers of New York. No longer is Gotham the global capital of parasitism--it is a red city and a free city, and soon all of Atlasia will see the same freedom.



Enclosed in red are liberated PRA territories. We are continuing to push forward through urban warfare in northeastern New Jersey and Westchester County, New York, have dug in on the Long Island front, and are raining artillery fire to terrorize the denizens of The Hamptons. But our most important asset is this:



An active W78 thermonuclear warhead attached to a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, guarded by the Voroshilov Legion, the handpicked elite of the Revolutionary Armed Forces. If a single one of Tyrion's Cranberry's men sets foot within the borders of one of the five boroughs of New York City, it will be launched and detonated directly over Nyman. Drastic measures must be taken to smash the tyrannical bourgeois dictatorship which surrounds Free New York. Choose your next move carefully, Mr. President.

x Snowstalker, Provisional Chairman of the Revolutionary Junta of the People's Republic of Atlasia

The Revolutionary Junta of the People's Republic of Atlasia promises that justice towards the reactionary old order will be swift and decisive.

[Bacon King]

The above posts demonstrate that Mr. Snowstalker openly participated in rebellion against the Republic of Atlasia by creating, organizing, and leading a movement that used military forces against the Republic. In a position of leadership of this group he intentionally advised and directed this group's conduct in the manner he found most effective to accomplish this ultimate goal. He committed terrorism by literally holding the country hostage with a nuclear weapon, attempting to force the Atlasian government to cease activities against the territory occupied by his organization with the threat of reckless and wanton destruction that would accompany the use of a nuclear weapon.

Also speaking of terrorism I would like to quote his own account of what his group was doing: "raining artillery fire to terrorize the denizens of The Hamptons"

[Bacon King]

The bourgeois courts are not enforcing justice but merely affirming the power of the oppressive state (which in turn is merely the enforcement arm of private capital). The tyrannical running-dog Bacon King will, with any luck, meet his fate at the hands of the working men and women of Atlasia.

is this your defense, mr snowstalker

[Bacon King]

No witnesses your honor

[Bacon King]

Given the blatant misuse of his office to lead a rebellion and attack people with artillery I believe the defendant should be sentenced to three consecutive lifetime bans from officeholding.

Furthermore he should receive three consecutive yearlong bans from voting to give him a chance for redemption

[Bacon King]

RIP Snowstalker

Thank you Mr Justice
