Today, the evil and most wicked forces of the Federation fired on peaceful and happy dimenstrators on 3rd Street. The protestors were protesting the large army force in the city and the disruption to the Tourism trade.

This paper, calls for the impeachment of President Kronos and for the independence of Branson. This evil must not go unpunished.

Trouble makers on the loose in Branson

(APW) Branson North Arkansas

Today, about 30 individuals attempted to storm a lone Army Humvee as it Traveled down third street. Two soliders were injured. When the mob set fire to the humvee, 3 more Humvees showed up and the army forces attempted to take control of the situation. The crowd threw rocks and cement blocks at the soliders, injuring two of them. The Army forces fired into the air to break up the crowd. But the crowd started firing back. 1 Army solider was slightly wounded by gun fire. The remaining army forces, were pushed up against a wall, fired back into the crowd. 4 of the mob were killed and 11 injured. The rest fled from the scene.

Later, the citizens of Branson staged a counter deminstration outside the Branson Independent, a newspaper that is favorable to the separatist movement. The Army had to be called in to hold back the citizens. Later, the Federation bureau of investigation searched the newspaper and took two reporters and one editor to the station. The FBI said they were being held for suspicion of Terrorism.

occ: What is happening here is, for this post, there are two clippings of the same event. One newspaper is neutral the other supports a very small band of separatist who feel that the Federation of North Arkansas is too liberal and anti-christian and they want out. You will have to decide which version is closer to the truth.

The news to date on this. First, about 56 of the separatist stormed the Presidents mansion in Fort Smith present day arkansas. The President of North Arkansas was not there and all 56 died rather than surrender. Then they blew up a interstate bridge over the Buffalo River. The Interstate was a new one and not yet opened. Now, gangs of them are trying to harrass Federation troops who are on patrol in Branson.

The Separatist do not have the support of the people of Branson.

I hope this helps.
