Bryce Keen, Director of the National Conservative Party, has today announced the party's plan to reform the Provisional Conservative Army of Kalistan, the military wing of the First National Conservative Party which was disbanded after the party's victory in the December 4304 Presidential election (http://classic.particracy.net/viewnews.p...sid=590876) due to the Kalistan's laws against paramilitaries. NCP spokesman for Defense and Brigadier General Phoenix Jameson has been put in charge of the PCAK's reformation, and has agreed to an interview with Right View reporter, Henry Gallway.

Henry Gallway's Interview with Spokesman Phoenix Jameson, 3/2/4510


Gallway: Good morning, Mr. Jameson.

Jameson: Good morning.

Gallway: So first, why has the NCP decided to reform its centuries old army? Your party doesn't feel threatened, does it?

Jameson: No no, I wouldn't say we feel threatened. Just this recent bill proposed by the New Way which would outlaw party militias and disband heroic groups like the RSMoK had gotten me to start to think.You see, our party was founded as a militia, the PCAK, not a party. Its original purpose was to protect Conservative Kalistanis during their protests against the National Unity Party and Kalistan Labour Party. Now it wasn't the government the PCAK was afraid of, even though we've seen what the NUP and its despotic regime were capable of, no, the PCAK was formed to protect Conservatives from violent radicals. That's not why we're reforming it, even though I must say we're wary of the Patriotic League and their intentions. We're reforming because we see it as our patriotic duty to Kalistan. Paramilitaries have served a vital role in protecting and assisting Kalistan, just take a look at the history of the Revolutionary Socialist Militia, and currently the only active paramilitary is RSMoK, which leaves the right-wing section of Kalistani manpower untapped. So, I guess the short answer is, PCAK is being reformed to improve, assist, and defend Kalistan.

Gallway: After the PCAK is fully trained and armed, will you be the one at the head of the militia?

Jameson: Most likely, no. Since I'm currently a Brigadier General in the national army, it is more fitting that I remain candidate for the Minister of Defense. I believe Director Keen has decided on Iulian Árpád, but he may choose Douglas Montgomery. They're both veterans of the national army and would make fine leaders.

Gallway: How many people do you plan on recruiting?

Jameson: 1,000 men in each mainland district and 1,500 in Ananto, but we may expand in the future.

Gallway: Where do you plan to purchase your weapons?

Jameson: Small arms and their ammunition will be purchased from Guns 'R Us, while everything else we'll buy from KALMILINCO's surplus.

Gallway: When do you expect to get the militia fully trained and armed?

Jameson: Hopefully by 4513, but no later than 4515.

Gallway: And my final, and rather unimportant, question: Do you plan to keep the name Provisional Conservative Army of Kalistan?

Jameson: Well, it's not really provisional anymore, so yeah I guess we will.

Gallway: Thank you for you time Mr. Jameson.

Jameson: No problem, have a nice day.
