Is still at large. When the dictaor was confronted with the incident today he had this to say.

**Translated from German**

The people, these disgusting dirty hippies did not seek the proper channel to demostrate. They just thought it would be ok to just march in front of my palace which is also my work place and begin rioting. What was worse was that as the time progress more people joined in. They disrupted traffic and they caused thousands of hard working people late for their jobs. They have also broken into stores and have stolen several things.

Poltergeist's militatry units are now looking for this man

If you have seen him, the dictaor orders are to shoot him on sight.

**CNN Theme Song**

Militatry personal are still looking for the leader that started the riot at the palace yesterday. However they have learned his name. Which is John Greg. A former school teacher for one of the colleges located in Poltergeist. The Militatry personal are still looking for him and they believe that they may have taken up residence in the Western mountains range. As for the other hippies, they are being chained up and forced to work in Poltergeist's militatry weapons camp. If anyone have any information on John Greg, please contact Poltergeist at once.

Enclosed is a picture of the CNN headquarters in Resi City, where all the newsfeeds are coordinated. If you don't believe us, check where you're receiving your CNN from. That's right, it's a Resi-made satelite.

Now pay up or we'll see you in court.

Money has been wired.

Now Presenting Poltergeist News Network! PNN!

[OOC: You can temporarilly use MSNBC. Nanakaland owns the NBC network and will let you use the MSNBC name for news reports in this thread only for free. This is a puppet nation of Nanakaland, as you already know. Like Resi, the thread of the acquisition of NBC is long gone, but I own the two puppet nations NBC and MSNBC, strengthening my claims to the network. Unlike Resi with CNN, I'm not as strict (I actually want people to use NBC and MSNBC as long as I know about it). If you want to use MSNBC outside of this thread, you will have to pay Nanakaland or ask for more permission.]

MSNBC Report
Today, the recently relected High General Fredrick von Ulrich of the United Nations' Army of UN Peacekeepers expresses his grief. Von Ulrich had met with just the other day. He is expected to make a speech soon on the issue.

*****

Fredrick von Ulrich stepped up to the podium. Reporters from major news networks, including MSNBC, where there. The eyes of the world were on him. The United Nations was trying to guess what he would say. Some thought he'd support Summer, an acquaintance. Others thought he'd support the liberal hippies. No one was sure, though. His support could go either way. As he started speaking, he proved both predictions wrong.

"Greetings those of you from my nation and those of you from the foreign community,' Ulrich started. "I understand the complexity of this situation. Der Führer Summer of Poltergeist is the United Nations delegate of a new region. Some of you may think that that is a good enough reason to send massive amounts of troops in the name of the UN to crush the revolt. However, others may point that the current government of Poltergeist is too far right wing for the UN's liking. You may say that we then must support the revolt.

"However both views have flaws. If we support either side of a conflict, losses would be high - especially in such a disputed conflict - and still, some people wouldn't be happy. Therefore, we will stay neutral. However, we cannot ignore that a UN member is in trouble. Thus, we will send peacekeepers to the nation to prevent violent outbreaks until this revolt is over and a compromise can be thought of. We are awaiting permission from the Poltergeist government and rebels to send the UN peacekeepers."

[OOC: Just confirming the OOC claims of UN Peacekeepers.]

Der Führer Summer meets with his top Militatry advisor. He sits down at his desk on his office. Two General walks up.

General Jones: Der Führer, John Greg must be delt with now. As far as we know he could be plotting a terrorist attack agaisnt the nation. They have claimed the Western mountains as their own. They are calling it "The Free Land of the Rebel Hippies"! Their numbers are small, but as we all know, just because something is small doesn't mean that it can't pack a punch!

General Scott: General Jones is right. We must begin a campagin agaisn't this "Free Land of Rebel Hippies" before its too late. We all know that they will not stop until they bring down the Dictaorship and the Catholic Church!

Der Führer Summer pulls down a map of the country.

Der Führer: As far as we know, they only occuiped the Western mountain region. They have not crossed the border into neighboring nation and regions. I want our troops to surround this region. Nothing gets in, NOTHING gets out. I will talk to the Luftwaffe commander about Air Strikes.

The meeting is dismissed.
