Libera

=Elenore Malcom (Libera)=

Libera or Elenore Malcom is a 23-year-old extreme political activist and internet influencer from Doggerland. She has gained public notoriety among political forums and digital spaces involved with Doggerland politics. She is most known from her YouTube talk show show- Libera Talks on her YouTube channel- Libera Liberty which was previously streamed via Twitch and political forums, where Malcom expresses her voice and opinion on political views gripping the nation; although the main factor towards her notoriety is that her show is broadcasted from Yunberg Prison and features (sometimes) live footage from inside the Dogger prison, and she is also responsible for a Terrorist Threat on Doggerland's Parliament.

Political Activism and Arrest
She became involved with the political scene as soon as she graduated college. She began as a normal vlogger but as the socialist movement continued to persist in the country her views became more political, and she began giving social commentary about the country via her vlogging platform last year, starting her show. Malcom quit her newly gained job as an accountant and became a janitor at the parliament building to get a front row seat of her nation’s politics without directly being involved, becoming a self-invested journalist that fought for the truth and documented it on camera.

Malcom pushed anti-socialist ideals and insisted that if everything was the “people’s property” then she could march into the security area of parliament and steal weapons stored there, and if the government secrets and information was so easy to access, then terrorists could use this to their advantage. This year, in May following a small government emergency, Malcom set out to demonstrate herself in Parliament on the 24th of that month, posting schematics on her show of the building and pointing out every single area that could be used as a point of reference for terrorism if someone wished to do so, and then revealed that she knew and understood how to replace the lights as janitor at the building and fill them with explosive gas. That morning, she walked into parliament for work as usual and knocked on the door of the security office claiming that she had janitorial work to do in the office, and that the officer needed to leave. He obliged, trusting Malcom and Malcom walked out of the office with three firearms. She unloaded each of the guns of their ammo outside of the building then walked in unsuspectingly to the parliament members with two unloaded and stolen firearms, saying, “These belong to the people, right? And I am a person.” Malcom then set the guns down, smiling, and then gave herself up to the authorities.

There was no active data from Malcom’s Libera for several months during her long trial and conviction, (Malcom was convicted of Conspiracy to commit a terrorist act and theft, although reckless endangerment was also brought up during her trial.) and her fans became worried about her, looking for information and finally sending her a phone with cell service. From the cellphone, Malcom uploaded her first Libera Talks video from YouTube inside of Yunberg, which basically claimed responsibility for her actions as she explained her reasoning to as why she committed the crimes she committed, claiming that she did what she did not for recognition but to make a point. She at first said that she wasn’t planning to upload anything until her 6-year sentence was over, but after the video blew up; she was able to get permission from the warden to continue making the videos if limited access to the internet was given to her and she could only post and be allowed the phone at certain times of the day. Malcom agreed and started filming her show at 8:30pm every night from inside her cell. The first few episodes gave further explanation behind her actions and outlined more of her political ideologies, but after sneaking the phone past the desired time, she was able to film several hours of two consecutive days the chronicled what life was actual like in the federal facility she was being held at and outlined the problems that the Doggerland prisons had. This action landed her in solitary, and she was not allowed to continue her show for another month, which angered her fans as they saw it as an attempt to silence her and began claiming that the prison was inhumane, and that Malcom was a political prisoner. This further solidified her popularity as a political icon for those who supported her cause.

Political Connections
Ms. Malcom joined the PLUS party on October 23rd, 2021 after a meeting with Liam Notember in Nandels Port during a government approved outing and heavily supervised meeting where she agreed to join the party and possibly accepted a nomination to be a potential PLUS parliament candidate while still under incarceration. She was also briefly mentioned as a penitential candidate in the 2021 October presidential election, to which Malcom declined publicly in a video statement. She also has had interviews with several politicians after the death of former prime minister Shawty.

Trial and Conviction
After her arrest she was taken to a hospital and mentally evaluated, yet Malcom was found to be criminally sane. (Although was diagnosed with OCD- obsessive compulsive disorder.) Malcom was then taken into federal custody and suspected of three crimes- Conspiracy to Commit a Terrorist Act, Theft, and Reckless Endangerment. She was facing 10 years but after the reckless enlargement charges were dropped, she took a guilty plea deal she was convicted of Conspiracy and second-degree theft and was sentenced to 71 months (5 years and 11 months.) in Yunberg, an infamous Doggerland federal prison. The trial was recorded, and she confessed to having the resources to commit the acts she mentioned in her videos, as well as the theft and terror she caused- and is considered a Doggerland security threat and will be monitored by the Doggerland government after her release.
