Human Essentialists Demand Embargo Against Whitehall Transhumanist Regime
Opponents of trans-humanism in several major Western cities are looking to set a precedent as they push O.T.O. members to impose an arms embargo on the High Republic of Whitehall. Demonstrations were held this weekend at multiple international starports handling military exports.
At a rally in the Bayridge Megalopolis, roars of approval were heard when speakers criticized U.S. aerospace shipments containing components for the F-408W’s guided munitions. Several news agencies have accused Whitehall of using these weapons against their own citizens.
