Enda Guiness is a political activist in the Commonwealth of Peoples best known for his position as the Chairman of the Wide Awake Correspondence Committee. He is the leading exponent within the Commonwealth of a philosophy he describes as "human self-determination" and many more mainstream commentators describe as simple racism.

Life

Guiness grew up in the city of Helios, capital of the Lanerian State of Aravana. He played football for his high school and was salutatorian of his graduating class. He went off to university at Oxdale, one of the premier universities in Laneria. After achieving a degree in literature, Guiness went on the become a librarian in the small town of Grover. He led his life in relative quiet until early 2006 when Laneria was rocked by major national disasters which led to its integration with the multiverse.

At the time of the crisis, Guiness volunteered to help the Lanerian Red Cross distribute aid to those directly effected by disaster. His experience as a humanitarian worker touched him deeply. The idea that ordinary Lanerians could have been placed in such a horrible situation both perturbed and enfuriated him. According to Guiness, he experienced a spiritual crisis during this period. He had trouble accepting that a universe where such suffering existed could be ruled by a benevelent God. Seeking answers to his questions, he travelled the Catholic world, visiting Rome, Pantocratoria, Finara and the Dominion. He is also rumored to have visited Iesus Christi, an act which would have been illegal at the time.

When he returned from his journeys with his confidence and faith restores, Guiness founded a political newspaper called Common Sense which he used to propogate the ideas he had formed during his travels. While the first few issues were fairly crude diatribes against non-humans, feminists and homosexuals, Guiness quickly developed a calmer, more intellectual tone for Common Sense while remaining faithful to its original far-right ideals. In late 2006, Guiness and some of his collaborators formed the Wide Awake Correspondence Committee to more directly promote their policies.
