“Fellow senators, friends, colleagues, allies, adversaries,
I stand before you this morning with a heavy heart. I stand this morning with a
difficult message. I believe we’re in crisis. The distance between what’s said
and what’s known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the
loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth
is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip
away, when it’s ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of
whatever monster screams loudest. This chamber’s hold on the truth was finally
lost on the Ghorman plaza. What took place yesterday, what happened yesterday
on Ghorman was unprovoked genocide. Yes, genocide. That truth has been exiled
from this chamber. And the monster screaming the loudest, the monster we helped
create, the monster who will come for us all soon enough, is Emperor
Palpatine.” – Mon Mothma, Andor
