Ayatollah Akiwati, speaking from an unspecified location, made a live address across the empire on all TV channels and radio. It was the first instance in the Benito rebellion being officially acknowledged. The speech was as follows :
"Fellow believers in Oojok! Many of you know of a grave danger that hangs over us now, the Anti-Oojok is threatening order and calm and wants to bring anarchy and pain. Benito is the Anti-Oojok and is an evil which must be destroyed. Do not be taken in by his forked tongue. He promises you many things but he will not deliver. He only wants power so he can empty your pockets and dishonour your daughters.
"Benito has caused an uprising on Austini 55 and Woloron 12. He has fooled good clones into becoming infidels and to turn on their fellow clone. They are not yet beyond redemption. Only in Oojok can you be a true clone. I say to the infidels : turn back to the light! Shun Benito and the words of Sin, the barbarism of the Anti-Oojok!
"Only in Oojok can you be truly happy. Only in Oojok can you go to Clone Heaven. Benito will only lead you to the Ten Hells Of Doom. And that is uncool."
