Memphis, Batavian Soviet Socialist Republics

The Inner Soviet today reports that unknown dissents today blew up the Central Bridge, completed just last year,which crosses the Mississippi River, between Memphis our captial and West Memphis, the Captial of the New Madrid Autonomious Soviet Socialist Republics. This inturpts International Interstate travel, However the Premier of Roads and interstates reports that travelers will be deverted to the old US Interstate 55 bridge. Other less traveled bridges are being enhanced for the traffic. However, travel over the Interstate 1 bridge will not be possiable for several months. Soviet President Malcom says that workers will toil 24 hours around the clock to get the bridge back together.

The Batavian KGB reports that they have no leads on the terrorist but are working with other governments in an effort to identify the infadals.

The Death Toll was very heavy, 560 citizens of the Soviet were killed, An estimated 3000 citizens of other nations were killed as well. Some of the cars identified were from Mount Eagle, Carolinia, The United States of America, Free Republic of Mormon, California Republic, Low Gap, And NOrth Arkansas. The bodies are being identified by the Soviet Medical Corps and will be returned to their families, with assistance from other embasseys for those who are from outside the Soviet.

End of statement.

Branson, Captial of the Free lands of Branson and Hollister.

We have been handed a statement by the Government of Branson.

it is unfortunate that the world still does not reconize our independence. And we assure the world that we will continue fighting a war the only way we can, through the use of Terrorism.

Today, our best sniper shot and killed Vice President Marshall of the Federation of North Arkansas. And we also blew up the largest bridge across the Mississippi River. Even thought our struggle is not with the Batavian Soviet Socialist Republic, that Communist nation has supported the Federation time and time again. We set the bomb to go off at the max time of occupiation on the bridge.

We will not stop here. We have Nuclear weapons and are desparate. The world at large is not a safe place until we are granted our independence from The Federation of North Arkansas.

Many will say that in recent gallop polls, the citizens of Branson, are overwealmly opposed to our separation from The Federation of North Arkansas. I believe the numbers were 90 percent opposed us, and 10 percent were for the legal government of Branson.. People can be changed. During the American Revolutionary War of over 250 years ago, only 1/3 of the colonist supported the revolution. Now no one would say that revolution was needed. People change.

We warn the world. Reconize us. Force North Arkansas to grant us independende. Or we will detoniate an Atomic Bomb, planted in a city somewhere in the world. And it could be in any nation, even Diminix. But we do appreciate your support for us.

We warn the world, we will do desparate things. Children are not safe. Mom and Pop stores are not safe, churches are not safe.

The best thing for you to do is reconize our independence. We will detoniate the bomb. Don't try to find it. Instead concentrate your efforts in forcing North Arkansas to grant us what we want. Independence.

(Batavian Provda, Broadcast Version)

Memphis, Batavian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Today, the Federation of North Arkansas shut down a Terrorist news paper and radio station. The Federation authorities hope that their new powers, that President Kronos recently signed, will assist them in finding the terrorist responsiable for the destruction of the bridge across the Mississippi. The Federation Bureau of Investigation has asked for KGB assistance in getting the truth out of the terrorist. Their hope is that the Radio people will reveal the location of any supposed Atomic Bomb.
