BREAKING NEWS: LEAKED DOCUMENTS LINK PATER TO RECENT ATTACK

By: David Harris, Chief Judicial Correspondent
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SHARE THIS: Image Image Image Image
Martinez City, Slivery- SWN has just received a file of documents, including letters, emails, and banking statements, which have indicated that not only did Pater Michelle know about the recent attack that destroyed St. John XXIII Roman Catholic church and killed Rev. Walter Ross, but he ordered it. These documents, which we received from a high ranking leader in the Church of Aeon who didn't wish to be identified, have been authenticated. The documents portray a disturbing timeline. This plan, it would seem, was put into motion sometime before the Pater was elected to the high office. After he selected his team, he selected a target and gave marching orders. On the day of the murder the two laymen, Kevin Voisin and Eric Lanzalaco, had wire transfers of 1 million legionairs each to bank accounts of family members. Bank records show these came from the Pater's discretionary account. SWN has handed these documents over to the SBI.
We tried to contact the Church for a comment, but got no response.
A senior official at the Ministry of Justice said "The Minister will be meeting with the President today to discuss the indictments and will, no doubt, discuss the Pater's role in the attack." Visit www.swn.com for continuing developments.

SUPREME PREACHER WILLIAM IV HAS DIED

IMGORTUR,Verbergerkinnh - The Church of the Holy Bottle is in mourning following the announcement of the unexpected death of Supreme Preacher William IX, the highest ranking preacher of the religion, equivalent in status to the Pope. Supreme Preacher William had been rushed to Verbergerkinnh General Hospital following complaints of pain and difficulties in urinating. Doctors subsequently found a large stone formed in the Supreme Preacher's left kidney. Complications in the surgical operation to remove the stone resulted in kidney failure, and most of the other organs in the Supreme Preacher's body followed suit. William IX's death was announced by Reverend Preacher Zarathustra Jameson at 3:45 am in front of a large crowd of Holy Bottle followers and media in Imgortur.

William IX was born Wilhelm Plotzensee in Calfragilis Island, deep in the heart of Abanhfleft's Presbyterian Islands. His father was a dedicated Presbyterian minister, which was hard for Wilhelm, who was dissatisfied with the Presbyterian way of living. He and his father constantly got into arguments about the faith, or rather, Wilhelm's lack of it. Plotzensee eventually fled his home and ended up in what was then the Territory of Verbergerkinnh, the heartland of the Church of the Holy Bottle. Plotzensee became curious with this new religion, and began studying its history and customs before finally converting at the age of 16. Plotzensee became a member of the Order of Preachers of the Holy Bottle in 1969, when he was 26 years old. He was sent to Bendy Benny to help in missionary work and assist in the temporal matters of the faithful, and became the Case's Great Preacher in 1983. In 1991 he was elevated to the Congress of Grand Preachers of the Holy Bottle by Supreme Preacher Owen III. He was one of the lesser preferables during the conclaves that elected Supreme Preachers Corubus V and Mercurius II. Wilhelm Plotzensee was elected to the Supreme Preachership of the Church of the Holy Bottle following the assassination of Mercurius II at the hands of the Kyaaist Gavriel Barazukas. Because of this, Plotzensee, who had taken the regnal name of William IX, declared a holy war on Kyaaism and all of its followers. The war is expected to be continued by his successor, whoever that may turn out to be.

The Congress of Grand Preachers is expected to meet at the Most High Vessel in Imgortur to conclave and elect the next Supreme Preacher. Some names being mooted as preferables of the coming conclave include Arnold Varangia of Releinthi, Binareke Chipuwag'e of Rosenpfelblatz, Akira Yakasawa of Sapporo-Sendai, and Dr. Marie Hintrusa of New Olwe. Orion McKrinter, father of baseball star Oliver McKrinter, could also be among the preferables.

President-elect Fish appeared before Parliament today to formally accept the office of head of state. His speech was predictably brief, "Bloop!" and was well recieved by the Members present. After the ceremony, the President's bowl was carried across the street to Tim Hortons for an informal reception.

AUGUST MARKS THIRD PEJITE-TOLMAKIAN SUMMIT


ImageIII
Shuppon City in development, July 25 2014
iiiiiiii
July 30, 2014 (Wednesday 9:3O PM), Speaker of the House Minister Teshi hershei has announced on behalf of the Tolmakian Government that the third Pejite-Tolmakian Summit shall be expected to occur within the first week of August. The minister did not exactly specify the time, location or any other details pertaining to travel arrangements and such. However this statement was complied by the Pejitean Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

According to Minister Teshi, "As the month ends and August greets us all, we are inclined to once again to send forth our leaders to make amendments and deveopment to both of our national ties." The announcement specified that the talks would concern the Tolmakian Dfense Industry's pact with the Pejitean Industries of Defense and the position of Tolmakian soldiers occupying the Kingdom of Pejite.

Aside from the response of the Pejitean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, many states and groups have been content and in agreement with this announcement. According to the Tolmakian Bureau of Neighboring Affairs, The U.K has sent it best wishes for the summit to yield satisfactory results. The public has also shown its support to come up with good and peace yielding results.

Ever since the end of the Second Pejite War, the Kingdom has underwent a purge of the remaining influence and rebellion of the former terrorist dictatorship while the Tolmakian Republic has seen a massive demilitarization and reduction in its military population. The two sovereign states came into peaceful terms after the signing of the Ippheroan Treaty that officially ended the war in June 20, 2014.

NEW SOUTHERN RESORTS HOTEL COMPLETED


ImageIII
The hotel building, August 1 2014.
iiiiiiii
August 9, 2014 at 8:45 AM (Monday). The 20-story five star luxury hotel after seven years of construction has finally been built and completed. The announcement came out from Mr. Collin Karpatua, owner and commissioner of the hotel. The building standing out of the coast and neighboring structures was dubbed the Southern Resorts Hotel.

The hotel included chaise lounges, five star restaurant branches, three swimming pools, a video arcade, a shop, amazing views of the coast, beach parties, and a sea service for fishing or riding out to sea. More services included were airship riding, jet skiing, cinema, a small garden and a mini indoor aquarium. According to Commissioner Collin Karpatua, "This hotel is a one of a kind in the southern province. It not only stands out from the other shorter structures but has a roof pool as well haha!"

Media response had promoted the new luxury suite on magazines and the internet. Advertising campaigns (according to the commissioner) were underway. Citizens have been ecstatic about the new hotel according to interviews by several media outlets. However environmentalists were not particularly happy and were more concerned about the beaches.

"Aside from five star services and these awesome features, we also made sure to make it eco-friendly! We are entirely aware of the Haii "Green" program, and so we installed turbines nearby to use hydroelectricity! we also installed solar panels on the roof, use passive cooling for some parts, ice cooling and wind power. We are also imposing heavy regulations and security in the beaches to make sure it stays beautiful." He added. "Still, our priority is to let people enjoy themselves, but also let nature enjoy her beauty!"

Tickets and reservations are presently available at major ticket stores and leading supermarket branches. The hotel is due to open in August 18.

Moorburgh Protector Class SSBN

by Aaron Aziz
Image
MNS Protector

Moorburgh launched its first locally made Protector class submarine, MNS Protector, an SSBN submarine equipped with the Vulcanfish missile, a supersonic, stealth, precision-guided ship-to-surface missile with a reach of 1,500 kilometer. The launch signifies an important view of the regional “arms competition” in Moneylania – the gradual initiation of novel grades of nuclear powered strategic submarines (SSBNs), which are more and more becoming “platforms of choice” – as force-multipliers in diverse missions as well as against superior powers.

Protector class consists of six submarine designed by Moorburgh Naval Shipyard (MNSY) based in Port Clayshire. MNSY partnership with the University of Knightenden in designing the navigation systems and underwater detection. Meanwhile Crotech Security and Technology is responsible for their internal and external communication system.

Navy salvage vessels are on station in the mid-Atlantic in an attempt to locate the wreck of the submarine Angelfish.

The Angelfish was scuttled more than a year ago after a series of freak accidents left her dead in the water and a menace to navigation. Her commander, Lieutenant Helena "Leni" Keefer, led her crew more than a thousand kilometers in a flotilla of rubber rafts to safety on the Caribbean islands of Gidney and Cloyd. Lieutenant Keefer and several members of the original crew are now serving on a new and modernized Angelfish.

A spokesman for the Navy said that the exact location of the wreck is unknown, since electrical failures had made the navigation equipment inoperable. However, the salvagers hope to find it based on Lieutenant Keefer's celestial observations. A remotely-piloted submersible will be used for the initial search and, if the wreck is found, there are plans to use a Deep Submergence Recovery Vehicle (DSRV) to rendezvous with it. There are no plans at present to attempt to raise the Angelfish.

Lieutenant Keefer is expected to visit the site at some point as an observer.

Rouge Guard Arrests 5,000 Jews, Gays, and Blacks.
London- The Rouge Guard today arrested 5,000 unwanted scum. The raids took place on August 10th, the raids took place cross country, and found several strongholds. One Rouge Guard was injured when a Lesbian shot him. The raids took up to two years of planning and research. It was a success comments Floyd Pinkerton when he was interviewed today on the raid. Several more raids are expected to take place in the East Coast area. The Wolf Squad reportedly took part in ten raids, capturing several Gypsy families. Sniper's are being posted at the borders to shoot anyone who tries to cross. Several Rouge Guard Squads are being deployed to Norfolk to be quickly deployed if needed.

Islamic Terrorists Attack Pipelines
Mosul- An Islamic Terrorist group that formed from the remains of ISIS, are attacking Pipelines in an attempt to ruin the Rouge Dawn economy. The attacks are being called futile as Special Forces are being called in to weed them out. The Pipe Line travels from Baghdad to Paris, carrying several billion liters of oil a day. If there was an attack on it which included explosives, Paris could possibly go up in flames within several days. RQ-1 Predator drones are patrolling the Pipe Line currently.

Assassination of the First Lord

Gisbon, Wernke Province, Tamar Wolf Protectorate
August, 2014

The recent media blackout in Tamar has just been lifted. Under orders of the Protector of the Realm, Champion Naga Krevesh, the nation of Tamar has been unable to communicate internally, as well as externally with the outside nations as Military Law 14-C, or a National Martial Law was ordered on August 3rd. Apparently the rebellious province of Wernke, under the leadership of Lord Addicks Kirkpatrick and the Second of March, attacked and kidnapped the First Lord V'lrin Kilakrovic at the Wernke War College. Under the guise of Tamarian Wolf Armed Forces personnel, the 2M Militia captured the First Lord and hurried him off to a still unnamed facility for ransom. Calling for the dismantlement of all Tamarian Government and the Council of Lords, the 2M hoped to gain these things with the First Lord as leverage. Sources from inside the TWAF High Command has said that the initial broadcast had gone out across the nation broadcast network, but was immediately dropped and rerouted directly to the TWAF Headquarters in Central before anyone could figure out who or what was going on. Once the TWAF was aware of the severity of the situation, ML 14-C was declared, along with the orders for any and all units to stand down.

Negotiations with the 2M and Kirkpatrick is said to have gone on for hours to no avail, and for the first few days little or nothing about the details on why the TWAF had been ordered to their stations had been leaked. Champion Krevesh had decided that the deployment of Crisis Prevention Teams would be counter productive, given the 2M's history of vicious and barbaric violence, especially with the First Lords location still a well kept secret.

Unfortunately, while all of these events were unfolding, the TWAF's latest RCT, the Wolf Cuirassiers RCT had figured out what had happened. With the majority of the members recent graduates of the Tamar Institute of Advanced War Studies, who had been personally visited by Kilakrovic only weeks ago to formally indoctrinate them into the TWAF, felt very strongly about the seizure of their Sovereign. Dates are still sketchy at best on when, but the First Tamarian Wolf Cuirassiers mobilized under the darkness of night in their troop transport carriers. Somewhere between 0200 and 0430 HRS, the Cuirassiers proceeded to low level combat drop onto the city of Gisbon, reigning down a hail of fire and death. The sneak attack is said by many TWAF inside resources to have caught the 2M and corresponding forces off-guard for the initial hours.

As stated before, little is known of the actions during the assault, but one thing is well documented, the assault prompted the 2M captors to kill the First Lord in cold blood across the Gibson CCTV Public Network. The fighting is said to have taken on a new level of "Terrifying Barbarity" by another account. Cuirassiers apparently began taking civilian and militia captives and crucifying them up and down the streets of Gibson in response, and set fire to the bodies of the Wernke employed mercenary commands under 2M contract. Somewhere around August 11th and 13th,
it is siad that the overwhelming numbers of the 2MM and Gibson defenders finally pushed the Cuirassiers out of the city limits, where the Champion Krevesh and the Tamarian Wolf Guards had positioned themselves.

From this point this reporter can attest to the accuracy of the report, as I was present outside the city at this time. On August 14, just after dawn, the Champion himself announced that the 2MM and Cuirassiers were to be exterminated for crimes against "The People of Tamar and His former Lord Kilakrovic." The first salvos were dropped directly on top of the retreating Cuirassiers. After several hours of bombardment and hunting down the stragglers attempting to rush the Guards lines, thousands of Wolf Tribesmen lay dead. Both Second of March and Tamarian Servicemen and women, neither given quarter. The scene was one of utter terror as time and again the Guards fired on their own brothers and sisters, each time awaiting for the next order to repeat. After a good hour lull in the firing, the 232nd TWAF Combat Air Wing was called in, deploying some six or seven small tactical nuclear missiles, dropping them directly into the city. By days end all that was left of Gibson and the incidents that had lead to the blackout had been blown away in a burning, fiery, series of blast, and the massive crater of what was the Wernke Provinces capital of Gibson.

Since the incident, Champion Krevesh has assumed First Lordship until the Council of Lords and the people elect on the next First Lord, Two new laws have been pushed through the Council, and a new Provincial Lord in Wernke has been placed. So far the estimated losses in Gibson were last tallied at some 400,000 people. Only time will tell if the Wolf Tribe can push past these grave events and look to a brighter future, one thing is for sure though, the Second of March rebels are never to return in Tamar.

SUMMIT LEAVES TWO NATIONS SATISFIED


ImageIII
A Tolmakian Military Forces airfield in "the PLOT"
iiiiiiii
August 16, 2014 at 01:15 PM (Friday). The third Pejite-Tolmakian Summit took place in August 15 in Peaceton Town, city of Perthon, Norlan. The results of the summit were finally revealed by the Tolmakian Government. According to press reports, the summit was attended by Tolmakian Prime Minister Madd Daneili, Economic and Trade Minister Sergio Willymore, Minister Teshi Hershei, Pejitean President Hamilton Khazzam, Economics and Industry Minister Duke immanuel and British Representative, Sir Augustus Cumberbatch. The meeting lasted from 9:00 AM to 5:PM.

The conference meeting resulted in the Tolmakian Defense Industries (DDE) and Defense Industries of Pejite's possible partnership being temporarily postponed due to unknown reasons. The reports say that the partnership is still eligible but will have to wait as the republic has been facing financial issues regarding its overseas expenditures lately. However the agreement also concluded in a military forces agreement (that Tolmakia may establish temporary bases in Pejite and that every month, the Tolmakian Military Forces and the Pejitean Military Forces may conducted exercises and drills with each other starting right this month in the PLOT, Tolmakia's overseas teritorry).

More conclusions included an additional trade and investment agreement and matters regarding the Ippheroan Treaty signed in June 20, 2014. The summit was lauded by the public and by both nation's citizens. The international community so far has not much to say. The United Kingdom on the other hand gave its full support to both nations.

After the Second Pejite War which devastated the Kingdom of Pejite and the Tolmakian Republic (in financial expenses and debt), the two nations came together and vowed to resolve any future conflicts by diplomacies, or in the case of government coups by extremist elements, preventing any catastrophes by cooperating together instead of outright war. The Kingdom of Free Pejite has miraculously recovered from the four-year long conflict. Both sides also have signed a mutual defense pact with the Ippheroan Treaty.

HOLY BOTTLE CONCLAVE BEGINS TODAY

IMGORTUR, Verbergerkinnh - All 394 Grand Preachers of the Church of the Holy Bottle have congregated at the Most Supreme Vessel in Imgortur, Verbergerkinnh Province, to elect their church's next Supreme Preacher.

The possible preferables, according to the unnamed source, are Arnold Varangia of Releinthi, Binareke Chipuwag'e of Rosenpfelblatz, Akira Yakasawa of Sapporo-Sendai, Dr. Marie Hintrusa of New Olwe, Orion McKrinter of Ministerial Affairs, Issak Belzer of Veiragocha, and Rory Pomira of Pilken.

Test Drive: 2014 Pontiac G52C

Canada gets a lot of exclusive cars not sold south of the border. In the U.S. they get this as the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano, but this is exclusive to Canada and priced a bit higher than the Verano.
But it's not just a case of same car, different badge; this has styling tweaks that mark it out as a Pontiac, and engines not found in the Cruze, either.
It looks distinctly sporting, and is more than just a rebadged Chevy; if anything, its styling is more Europeanized, with it looking like a hybrid between the Cruze, and the 1990s Opel Astra (1991-1998), so much so, that Asüna might have been the right brand, if GM brought it back!

Pricing and features
Prices start at $16,395 for the base model, $18,495 for the SE trim, going up to $21,795 for the sportier GT model. In all, the price is about $400 more than the equivalent Cruze sedan. There's no LTZ equivalent in this range, with SE equivalent to the LS model.

The base G52 sedan includes a 171-horsepower 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, Getrag five-speed manual transmission, 15-inch all-season tires and steel wheels, five passenger seating with cloth seats, 60/40 split folding seatbacks, AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary input jack and four speakers, tilt steering wheel, variable intermittent wipers, and driver information centre with two odometers, average speed, fuel range, fuel economy, and outside temperature display.

Adding to base model, the SE adds air conditioning, CD/MP3 stereo, power windows, power locks with keyless entry, power mirrors, cruise control, and floor mats.

Top-of-the-line GT models get a 180bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo, 17-inch tires and alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, along with sportier suspension and other extras.
GT model gains alloys which look like this:

They are 17 inch alloys, equivalent to those seen on the Vauxhall Astra SRi in Europe.

Initial impressions

Driving impressions
It's as good as the Cruze, and a solid choice, and feels pleasant to drive, if a little bit raucous.
It's not a sporty car - you'll have to go for the GT package for that.

The balance between ride and handling is good, but not up to the standards of the Cruze or Verano, but close. It's close to being athletic but is no sports sedan, if anything, it's a bit raucous, but it's still a decent buy.

The Spartickan Gazette

PORT ROYAL -- News coming from the capital tonight. Spartickan Senator Marshall Hancock is at the foot of a new bill which would criminalize the use, sale, and manufacture of recreational drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and LSD. We reached out to Hancock via email to determine his reasoning for pushing this bill onto Spartickan society. After 3 unsuccessful attempts, Hancock finally responded. "We want to progress as a nation and strengthen ourselves so that we can finally be known as a world 'super-power', right? In Sparticka's 294-year history, there has never been one drug law. Never. How will we get away from being known as our baron stereotypes by our bordering nations and finally achieve a level of respect in the world? The answer? Criminalizing the sale, use, and manufacture of all recreational substances. Not only would this clean up struggling cities such as Harper Bay and Sharkata, but it would also help progress Sparticka as a nation. Without drugs holding back our sophisticated and highly intelligent people, the sky's the limit. There's no telling what we could accomplish in 10, 15 years if drugs were outlawed. So I plead you all, please think of our prosperity as a nation and vote YES on the Prosperous Act of 2014." While Hancock makes a solid argument, the odds are stacked against him when it comes to passing this bill into law. It's well known that Spartickan's enjoy their recreational substances very, very much. It's tough to see this bill be passed by the Spartickan people, as they have a large love for drugs. But is their love for their country greater? The bill will be voted on October 7th.

White Shark Bay -- White Shark Bay, home to Sparticka's training facilities for the national sports clubs, may be getting a huge renovation in the next few years. According to multiple unnamed sources, city planner Erick Fisher has been engaging in meetings with a private business corporation for the construction of a one, new facility to house all of the training facilities for the national teams. The private business known as Nassou would pay for an outstanding 50% of the funds, while seeking the other half from the taxpayers. While a section of the facility is not being used for training, Nassou will have the ability to convert it into an event center, featuring concerts, circuses, plays, and much, much more. The new facility would be able to hold as many as 58,000 people. There would be three 'arenas' within the facility, one containing an ice rink for the Ice-Hockey and Curling teams, the other a field provided for Soccer, Baseball, Rugby, and Football (American). The last one would have a stage for various shows. Voting for the approval of this facility takes place on October 7th.
Yours truly,

Elliot Turner, Commander in Chief of Sparticka.

RACE RIOTS BREAK OUT IN SOUTH HYDE
Images are of a sensitive nature, of rioting. Ignore these at your own risk.
Image

In the town of South Hyde, West Borough of Hillingden, Greater London, as of 1:45am this morning, race riots broke out after a shooting between two rival gangs happened. It broke out on the notorious Ravenways housing estate, on Edgbourne Lane, near Hayesholt Road, with over 50 youths damaging local buildings and businesses on the estate.


Image
Apparently the riot was a "turf war" over control of territory on the notorious Ravenways estate, which has been besieged by problems since the early 1980s.

Police made over 230 arrests, and a smaller number (130 people) were cautioned and many more fined for public disorder offences.

Image
Local streetlights were broken, leaving streets in darkness

New LED streetlighting was broken, as was older streetlighting, leaving some streets in darkness, and the council having to fix the problems in some roads. Over 20 streets were affected.



It is believed that local immigrants added to the public anger, as well as anger towards the police for not taking enough action towards street gangs.
We have also discovered that a large amount of individuals have flown in specifically to take part in the riots, and one individual, who shall remain nameless, said
"This bloody Government, they don't give a fig about immigrants, the PM's a bloody toff, it's all gone downhill from here. Immigrants in Astholm, so much for the melting pot we hear and read about. Besides, there were like, 30-40 people who'd flown in specifically to riot here, from across the region."

Local councillor for Uxbridge and South Ruisdene, Raaheel Amirmoez el-Sawy has stated that a public inquiry should take place.

She said "I am going to try and call for a public inquiry to take place, but perhaps this requires international assistance, since the recent revelation that people have entered the United Kingdom of Astholm from abroad to commit these criminal acts on our soil, which may be punishable in their home nation. This is a complex situation, and to be honest, needs a lot of discussion on how to resolve it. What was once a small local riot became a large regional, and international problem, and the only way forward, is to have a full, frank and open inquiry, which should be open to all."

More news will come as we get it.

Harlan Escrow, Chancellor of Fatatatutti University (FU), has announced a major space initiative to be undertaken by the University along with its affiliate, the Rocket Propulsion Laboratory (RPL) and the Mariane rocket launch facility at Cape Carnival.

The initiative, Fatatatutti's first venture into manned spaceflight, has the epressed goal of developing the capability of sending manned missions into earth orbit to repair and/or upgrade the satellites of the FatSat network. Many of the satellites are approaching the end of their useful lives and their replacements are intended to be built so that modular components can be easily replaced.

Mr. Escrow hastened to add that Fatatatutti still has no ambitions for manned spaceflight beyond earth orbit.

The cost of the program is yet to be determined but funding is expected to come from the University, from the military and from Fatatatutti's many private communictions providers.

SECOND DAY OF RIOTING IN SOUTH HYDE
Images are of a sensitive nature, of rioting. Ignore these at your own risk.

For the second day, rioting has continued in South Hyde, West Borough of Hillingden, Greater London, with riots between local gangs, and there has been revelations that individuals are flying in to specifically participate in the riots on the Ravenways housing estate.
We are hearing that local police could not keep up with the riots last night, and there are warrants out for peoples' arrest.
Image
The rioting continues for another day
Image
Adding to the problem is the fact that some of the wanted individuals are from elsewhere in the region, which leads to issues over jurisdiction and arrest, making the situation more complicated.
Iain Donaldson, Prime Minister is expected to fly in from London, United Kingdom [part of Astholm] within the next few days, to visit the scene of the riots.
Local councillor for Uxbridge and South Ruisdene, Raaheel Amirmoez el-Sawy has called for a public inquiry to take place.

Bazrasha Airways places warning on "Suspicious Travelers" as the riots in Astholm continue. Many would be rioters detained at boarder

Man suspected of taking part in earlier riots in Astholm is arrested as he comes back.




After reports of Foreigners taking part in riots in the nation of Astholm authorities have been put on alert to prevent further foreign involvement. Bazrashi Airways the largest single international airliner in the nation has placed several warnings and has requested more stringent checks on people especially ones who seem like they will be willing to attend the riots. So far 12 people have been refused entry onto air jets under suspicion of being future rioters while two confirmed riots have been detained at Tammuz International Airport.

This comes sir boarder agents are working against possible hooliganism from passing over into neighboring nations like Astholm with only 4 detainment a made and all were released later that day. The boarder patrol says that they can only detain someone in suspicion for so long under law.

So far however many have been critical of the response saying it's to broad and profiles travelers with no prior history of hooliganism while others say it does no good at stopping them and say it's simply a political gesture rather then an effective tool to help stop the influx of foreign rioters.

So far Qusim bin-Albadi minister of Transportation who is charged with these policies implementation has refused questioning on the matter. Currently though one of the detained rioters Mosum al-Rzak has spoken to our reporters on the matter.

"These new policies don't mean [Expletive] and they know it. They detained me coming back from Astholm but it's not like I can't hope on a small airliner and traval back with ought an issue or simply ride the roads across the boarder. I'll tell you this much I'll definitely be back I have fairly out there and there being left to role around in those filthy ghettos and I'm not going to stay here and watch it happen in front of me." He told use as he was released from the temporary detainment center at Tammuz International Airport.

We will report more on this story as it comes to us.

Operation Hellfire is essential for us to be secure and clean. We are currently cleaning out one of the oldest cities. Any one we don't like is put to work.

If you don't the Rouge Guard or SWAT Team will burn your house if ordered to. Also please report any unwanted people in your house to the Rouge Guard, especially after the Rouge Guard or SWAT visited.

What if I'm not inside by the time the curfew is in effect?
Police Men will do checks on people while they head home.
