Well, first, let's get the facts straight, before we go on. My name is Sirius Black, not Barty Crouch. The tactics you're ascribing to me and mine are more suited to his sort, Death Eaters and other contemptible types who insinuated themselves into a corrupt Ministry and a particularly cruel Department of MLE. The Inferi, the werewolves - these were Protectorate's forces, not the Order's. We killed no one at Dover. And the attack on Hogwarts was to save the students, whom Voldemort ordered killed. Devastating as the losses were, if we hadn't acted, the casualties could have been much worse.
For those who are starving, we have supply lines that are available to those in need. Unfortunately, we currently can't deliver to New London or several other regions of the country. Our intelligence indicates that most people have the necessities, though, and it's only a few luxury items which have to be imported that they lack.
As to executions, I'm not in charge of those decisions. Probably a good thing no one person gets to decide that. I don't believe we 'plan' to execute anyone. That's not to say that there aren't people who have made it clear we'll need to stop them, one way or another, before we can call Albion victorious.
I can tell you that our Most Wanted list includes Bellatrix Lestrange, Barty Crouch, Antonin Dolohov, Thorfinn Rowle, Ptolemy Baddock, Ari Baddock, Nicholas Broome, Virgil Crispin, Rodolphus Lestrange, Cadmus Mulciber - you know, the lot of the Death Eaters and many of the senior members of the current Protectorate Ministry. As I said, if they turn themselves over peacefully, we will subject them to a fair tribunal and they'll be given an opportunity to speak in their defence with the benefit of counsel. It would be naïve to think most of them will surrender, however. In fact, some of them have sworn they never will.
Why should you believe me? Perhaps you're lucky enough to never have had any sort of contact with MLE, a Death Eater, or any of the works they have perpetrated over the last fifteen years. Go to any of my Grim Truths and pick out a claim I made in them - the Frost Faire, or Rookwood's Paralysis, just to name two examples - and look at what's come to light since I wrote them. Ask yourselves if the story MLE told you was more believable, or the truth that I told. Then decide who you believe.
