The IDF government reportedly has temporarily taken over control of their many NW Indiana steel mills. The reasons for this havent' been given, but as of this time the US Steel, Bethlehem STeel ISPAT, ISG, and two dozen other major mills in NW Indiana have been put under government control based on the IDF War Powers Act. The reason given is the war with SPARTEN and other emergencies not specified.

The IDF shipyards and plane store have been taken over too and will be run by the government at full capacity. Non essential businesses are being shut down to help get labor for this. IDF merchant marines and numerous shipping companies are now lugging iron ore from WIsconsin to NW Indiana and steel to IDF for emergency shipbuilding and other arms build ups.

We haven't been told the full story, but it appears that the SPARTEN war has required emergency buildups. We will give you more info when it comes available, but for now this is Kent Brockman reporting live at US Steel in Gary Indiana for IDF Cable news, back to you Arnie Pie.

Since you are in charge of Chicago would you please shut down WZAZ, "where disco lives forever"? It's interfering with AM reception, and causing mass nausea.

I will shut it down the way disco in the nation was shut down in 1979, bring back DISCO DEMOLITION night at US Cellular Field. It will be held tommorow to kill disco in IDF Chicago when Jose Contreras and the White Sox face off against the BoSox led by Pedro Martinez. It should kill disco when the fans riot, but the game won't be called and Ozzie Guillen will hopefully bite off Bud Selig's head during the game.
