DDR raises terror alert as anticapitalists misinterpret documentary for invasion

THE HAGUE - In a funny but actually disturbing turn of events, Knootoss has raised its terror alert from ‘grassy green’ to an obscure ‘purpleish’ colour after threats by chairman of the National Alliance of Youth and Students, Pedro Vargas, who is from the tiny and insignificant People's Republic of Liberty Waterfalls. The government also released a vague and non-specific warning that anticapitalist terrorists may want to strike against targets that may be in the DDR at some point in the future. The minister of Defence urged people to take precautions against terrorism by buying more consumer products and voting for the conservative RCPK for the next election, just to be sure.

In a propaganda leaflet he noted that Knootoss is rendering the situation in the Anticapitalist Alliance extremely tense, and it stressed tat the “working-class” of Liberty Waterfalls and the ACA should fight Knootoss imperialists, and that these labourers could achieve victory.

The government invited Pedro Vargas to actually visit the DDR so that he knows what he is talking about. “The country, which has a poor civil rights record, has unplugged its internet connection to prevent subversive content. Surely the poor boy is misinformed by his government and we intend to rectify that situation. An all-expenses paid trip to Knootoss would not be too much if we can help him see the light. If not, maybe he can visit one of our socialist – or even communist- allies.”

The incident started when the movie “Reds!” was broadcast into the anticapitalist movement. The film was subsidised by the misinformation department of the ministry of Foreign Affairs and is now available in theatres near you. Gerard Schipper, director, commented: “well, I’d have expected some wide-ranging responses such as the eventual blocking of our transmission. I know that freedom of speech isn’t the AA’s top thing, however mistaking our movie for an invasion is… well, hilariously ridiculous. I don’t know how they came up with that.”

ALL-OUT ANTI-KNOOTOSS STRUGGLE CALLED FOR
Response to the latest invasion attempt by Knootoss imperialists

Liberty Falls, February 7 (LWCNA) -- Pedro Vargas, , reportedly released an appeal titled "Let's begin the struggle for 2004 with an all-out offensive and all-out charge to emerge victorious in the confrontation with the Dutch Democratic Republic of Knootoss" on Feb. 6. Noting that Knootoss is rendering the situation in the Anticapitalist Alliance extremely tense, the appeal stressed if the working-class of Liberty Waterfalls and the ACA fight against the Knootoss imperialists, they can win a victory.
Liberty Waterfalls has inexhaustible strength as it has the effective Catarata policy pursued which redoubles the national pride and self-confidence, it said.
The appeal called upon the youth and students to turn out as one in the struggle against Knootoss in the spirit that if the workers of Liberty Waterfalls and the ACA struggle in unity, they can achieve anything.

Replies here please. Hopefully we can be done with all the sillyness now.

The Knootian Minister of the Interior and one of his aids were having lunch in the office. Sandwiches and tea was being served

"There has been no message or comment from Liberty Waterfalls, Minister".

"Predictable. They probably censored it, or they are afraid to make a public appearance because they know they will not be able to up their propaganda image of our supposed evilness. A visit would distrurb that image."

"I could check Intelligence for what they really think?"

"Ah, forget it. Its not that important."
