Fellow posters, I come to you in the wake of recent events to issue a call to reason. Let no poster deny the perils of our time; while we battle one another, divided by the petty strife of our common history, the tide of a greater conflict is turning against us, threatening to destroy all that we have accomplished. It's time for us as newsgroup readers, and as individuals, to set aside our long standing feuds, and unite. The tides of an unwinnable war are upon us and we must seek refuge on higher ground lest we be swept away by the flood. The Pledge is no more; whatever semblance of unity and protection it once provided is a phantom, a memory. With our enemies left unchecked who will you turn to for protection? The devastation wrought upon us by the other-newsgroup invaders is self-evident. We have seen our homes and communities destroyed by the calculated blows of the Flamers; we have seen first-hand our friends and loved ones consumed by the nightmarish Trolls. As unprecedented and unimagineable though they may be, these are the signs of our times. The time has come, my fellow posters, to rally to a new banner. In unity lies strength; already many of the dissident factions have joined us. Out of the many we shall forge a indivisible whole, capitulating only to a single throne. And from that throne, *I* shall watch over you.
My fellow posters

Thou art correct. Someone else watched it a buncha times and transcribed it. I just cut, paste, and edited it to be appropriate to the newsgroup. Here's my source: http://x6.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=432796171&CONTEXT=917406742.382205975&hitnum=0
I do? O_O
Thou art correct. Redeem these points nowhere in particular.

Actually, although you may have gotten this from Starcraft, this speech still sounds very familiar, and I've never played that game before. I'm guessing that whoever made the game got it from a real speech.

Damn, I could really use those points! ;) Seriously, I'm blanking here, but it sounds so very familiar ... man, you did this on purpose didn't you? This will drive me nuts until I figure it out! Wait a minute, you're working for Covenant, aren't you!?!?!?! <g>
Wild guess here. It does sound like a politician. But could also be from a movie. Hmmm, either from _The Postman_ or made by Saddam Hussein, or from a politician of the former Yugoslavia (any of the resulting countries). I don't know. Any hints?
Great quote and film! Oh yeah, Jeff, Toni, at the end of this film ...

They're only redeemable at certain institutios of ill repute.
Does it really? hmmm? Indeed! O_O
But of course!
Har har har, my motives are not the issue of dicussion. The issue is how much you squirm.
It's something you see on a screen, but it's neither a movie nor a televised event.
Oh, and it's a fictional character. Heh.
...
Of course, someone else answered it already, so it makes no sense to play these childish mind games anymore.
The guy who wrote this movie is writing the X-Men movie. X-Men will have the same director as well. Will be interesting to watch....
Oh, also, "Usual Suspects" was Singer's (director) and McQuarrie's (screenwriter) second movie together; their first was "Public Access."
are you for real???
