Why should those of us who are not fully explainable by physics not have the same unalienable rights as the rest of us? These organizations have been locking people up for attributes outside of their control. This is unacceptable. Some will argue that anomalous people are inherently "dangerous" or "unstable" as an excuse for the unjust imprisonment of our brethren. These people have committed no crime, and their imprisonment is a clear human rights violation that needs to be immediately stopped.

Ever since my brother started working for the SCPF, he can't tell us anything anymore. I'm willing to bet they have some crazy things in there, the cure for cancer, evangelion style mechs, maybe even aliens and godzilla??? I'm dying to see whatever they've got. Let's #stormsite19 !


DOCUMENT 4

Source: Statement from The SCP Foundation concerning the Berlin Accords Against Weaponized Anomalies*, 2015

The United States has refused to sign The Berlin Accords into international law, being the latest example of a long-held tradition of the American Government refusing to be subject to international oversight. As of now, no plans by the United States to use anomalous items or entities are known by the Foundation, and we will be working with the American Government and the United Nations to come up with a plan for complete anomalous disarmament. Anomalies are not weapons, and using them as such will end in global disaster.

Secure, Contain, Protect.

* A United Nations agreement that made it an international crime to use Anomalous objects or entities for military purposes.
