SPAIN: GENOCIDE - 14 APR 2039

"People's" Republic of Spain atrocities lead to its 60,000,000th victim

http://www.granitegrok.com/pix/gulag.jpg

In a tragic offset of decades of oppression in mainland Spain by the Stalinist government, according to sources who managed to fled from the iron fist of the "socialist" government holding its iron curtains while its boots stomps at the people, today the death toll of the Gulags, mass murders and famine have reached the number of 60 millions of Spanish people who did not manage to flee to Third Spanish States. Since two decades ago, the relation of mainland Spain with Third Spanish States, other than by the fact that the Confederacy free market isn't capitalist, is similar to the past relations between the United States of America and Cuba, although the dictatorship in Cuba has never killed so many people. Despite heavy government patrols on borders, the number of refugees seeking for freedom and true socialism through anarchist ideals is continual and has drastically increased the Confederacy population.

According to the reports, this nameless victim among many has perished in one of the death camps of the People's Republic of Spain where many are, even when having never challenged the government, put to forced labor and horrible conditions to sustain the pigs who run the "Communist" Party of Spain and keep their decadent, inefficient and dying "planned" economy shambling to avoid the fact that at such rate, the level of misery will leave to its implosion to further increase the misery of those who still live in Spain. The economic damage is irreversible and Spain economy is now comparable to the economy of countries like Ethiopia, with a level of misery that never existed before, even when Spain had a capitalist economy, proving once again that State capitalism is infinitely worser than market capitalism. For now, no official statement came from Third Spanish States about this unfortunate statistic, but rumors are aplenty about a possible response in the form of a naval blockade, through actions rather than pompous words.

PORTUGAL: INVASION - 7 MAY 2039

"People's" Republic of Spain instates puppet Stalinist government in Portugal. In response, Third Spanish States gears up for war

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/29/Gibraltar_searchlights2.jpg/180px-Gibraltar_searchlights2.jpg

Following a fast military campaign, reminiscent of the German blitzkrieg, the People's Republic of Spain hordes of Stalinist goons have successfully occupied the city of Lisbon in May 7th, capitulating the former republican government and putting Portugal into the oppressive iron curtain of their control through the establishment of a new government using the ranks of the Portuguese Communist Party, their fifth column, previously protected by democratic rights of political association. We dare not to think the economic impact such war had in the already miserable People's Republic of Spain, instead what is most critical to take from this unfortunate example of Stalinist imperialism is the clear strategic interest involved in such invasion. The city of Lisbon is only three hundred kilometers east from Third Spanish States east coast, effectively allowing any fighter aircraft stationed there to cover at least the eastern half of the Confederacy with its combat radius, something specially important for them as they have no aircraft carrier which would allow their aircrafts to reach the Confederacy otherwise. Many are claiming this action is a prelude to a daring plan of invading Third Spanish States as a preemptive action in their belief it could stop the Confederacy from liberating Spain from the corrupt scum of the Communist Party of Spain. Due to the speed of the action, the Confederacy unfortunately couldn't deploy military forces fast enough to support Portugal before it was too late.

In a statement released today, the head of State Cecily Lockhelm has declared that such action "is a clear sign that we cannot any longer tolerate the existence of the lunatic and murderous government that has been slowly killing Spain and its people for more than three decades. There is no shadow of doubt that the occupation of Portugal is a prelude to an invasion attempt by the Stalinist dreg against the truly socialist Confederacy, which also is a bastion of true democracy in a world of shadows and tyranny. I am sure we as a people are prepared to take whatever means necessary to ensure our lasting freedom, and we will use all means necessary to stand for our freedom and for the right of an human being to be free. Any suspicious approach of Soviet Spain vessels into our territorial waters will constitute into an immediate casus belli and will be answered by the full might of our freedom fighters. We are not afraid either of whoever has the hypocrisy or naiveness to support a government which makes the Third Reich looks like democratic in comparison."

As of now, two Iron Column divisions have been deployed to Third Spanish States east coast and the East naval and air commands have been at maximum alert. It have became a common sight in the city of New Lisbon to see CL-32 Fighters coming and leaving from nearby air bases towards east in patrol missions. Some homes are becoming ammunition depots as militias gear up for a possible war and many civilian pickup trucks are being mounted with heavy machineguns, man portable ADATS missile launchers and a few even being fitted with hillybilly armor. Most mechanics have been very busy as strange requests of mounting weapons in pickups or even in the roofs of SUVs are arriving. Barbed wires are being laid into the nearby beaches, coupled with remotely operated static weapon emplacements and anti-air guns, surface-to-air missiles and alike. The active phased radar towers now are continually on, awaiting for an airstrike that never comes, and many bomb shelters are being either constructed or reopened. As said once, si vis pacem, para bellum.

In other places of the Confederacy, it is evident how a war is being expected. Arcologies are becoming massive anti-air fortresses, filled with surface-to-air missiles of all sorts and even with rolling airframe missiles due to their strategic importance and high production costs, as although taking one down would require multiple bombing runs and hundreds of thousands of tons of payload delivers, they are considered too critical to be left unprotected or improperly protected. The overall number of candidates asking to join the standing active military has tripled in the last week. Julio Santiago have stated that "a war with the People's Republic of Spain is now inevitable. We cannot bend to submissive pacifism and allow them to secure strategic points and expand their brutal regime further through Europe. The isolationism our Confederacy has remained into for so much time must end, for our own survival. They are going to try invade us unless we attack these pigs first. I trust our technological, strategic and tactical superiority over them, but I believe the time is ripe to leave this defensive stance".

SPAIN: ANTI-SLAVERY ACTIONS - 1 AUG 2039

Confederacy Navy blockades People's Republic of Spain to fight against illegal Slave trade overseas

A few hours after a declaration of war (http://forums3.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=559609) was officially issued against the People's Republic of Spain and after an initial aerial battle which outcome was favorable to the Conferacy, already actively mobilized naval forces have covered through long range radars all the coast of Spain, with the intent of stopping one of the greatest crimes against mankind committed by the Stalinist PRS: the trade of human beings.

According to informal sources, such blockade was also a direct result of unsourced rumors regarding agreements with international totalitarian forces, including among the rumors Doomingsland, in which PRS was seeking to trade human beings for advanced military technology.

With nothing besides decades-old patrol boats, and following the expected defection of 90% of their demoralized, poorly funded and disrespected Navy, the PRS has now no single speck of naval power to challenge such blockade. Tensions arise as there is no certainty about possible international outcomes of such act, although most expect that "such business are too far away from most of major spheres of influence to draw enough attention". On related news heavy load of anti-Marxist propaganda is spreading online from several Third Spanish States websites, accusing it to be the defunct, morally and politically bankrupt failure expected from a completely ridiculous idea of achieving socialism through a dictatorship.

WORLD: PEAK OIL CRISIS - 13 AUG 2039

Global Oil Production dropped by 3% in the last 2 years

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/No_gas_1974.gif

According to the independent studies of the EconNet Global Node, an online organization dedicated to the analysis of worldwide economical events and their impact in the mutualist economy, taking and crossing several sources of multiple different bias to seek a closest possible approximation of facts, has estimated that from 2037 to 2039, the production of Oil dropped by 3%, escalating the rise of the international barrel price to a new record of $370. 2037 was the year when global production peaked, giving the clear sign that the fate of all forms of industrial society, be them capitalist, socialist or anarchist, was at stake.

Analyzed alone, the event can be considered an economic crisis like the unfounded oil hysteria and speculation of the 2010s, which was the result of a overtly pessimistic prediction on the Peak Oil date and of the morally questionable actions of stock market operators. The development of more efficient technologies and growth of recycling practices delayed the inevitable by twenty-seven years. However, today the supply of oil can no longer attend to the worldwide demand. It should be remembered that the 2010s Oil Crisis was the direct responsible for the collapse of the former Spanish government, which rule was taken by the Stalinists of the Communist Party of Spain, and that Adolf Hitler took power taking advantage of a major economic crisis in Germany. A major global crisis will create a breeding ground for totalitarian states, and thus Peak Oil is not only locally problematic, but also the greatest threat to the freedom and sovereignty of the Confederacy.

It is not a mere economic crisis, like the crash of 1929 which proved the failure of the capitalist free market, nor like any other. This time, like the unemployment provoked by the development of automation, it's a permanent, ever-worsening crisis. Oil production will continue to drop by 1 or 1.5 % each year, getting deeper into what has been called "The Long Emergency". Currently, only the poorest countries are truly suffering the consequences to their fullest extent, although most of developing nations are promoting rationing policies, including the United States. It's predicted that most national governments will collapse by 2070, and grim estimates puts the loss billions of lives as the inevitable result of this new, permanent crisis.

In the Confederacy, most of luxury and "high-class" goods like sports cars and all imported goods already suffered rises from 200 to 600%, and although the collectively distributed basic needs have not suffered any drawback, the advanced construction technologies which allow for the development of skyscraper farming are completely dependent on oil, and due to the anarchic nature of the Confederacy, the restriction of population growth and of oil consumption can only be secured by voluntary adhesion. Thus, with the increasing costs of the infrastructure needed to maintain crops as oil production, the threat of shortages is a reality in Third Spanish States, regardless of all major policies to reduce their dependency on oil, including the now dominant biofuel vehicular technology. Many other crucial sectors of the Confederacy economy also depend on oil, and most important of all: the EDDNet, the closest element to a government in the Confederacy, that allows people to understand each other and share their views, also depends on oil due to its hardware, as no replacement was yet found for the hardware industry. For more details on the catastrophic impacts, geopolitical implications and attempts to prevent the "Long Emergency" and crisis from worsening, check the related news.

LOCAL: OBITUARIES - 15 FEB 2059

Cecily Lockhelm "buried" in Cryonics Vault after being murdered by scum

http://www.3d-geezer.co.uk/photo27122007032200/thumb/1198771481.jpg

Cecily Lockhelm, elected as a direct representative in all foreign affairs of the former Confederacy of Third Spanish States twenty years ago and maintaining her position since then due to her competence, has died today after being choked to death by a psychotic junkie, already diagnosed as inebriated with heavy doses of cocaine. The murderer has vanished from sight, presumed to be making a run for the fastest way out of the Confederation before the people get him to their justice. With most of her vital organs still intact, and as assumed from her atheist worldview, her body was sent to one of many cryonics vaults, built into the depths of sea, where countless await for the time medicine shall advance sufficiently to be restored back to an immortal life. With her career marked by the dealings with foreign powers in increasingly turbulent times as many of our comforts drop out together with the petroleum of the world, by the boom of our fossil fuels independent space program against all odds and by the Iberian War, Cecily has done little by her own, but certainly the best she could, like many others, whose names shall be forever engraved in the memorial of the martyrs of freedom, for the cause the Confederation was built from. Perhaps in a thousand years, if our cause still survives, Cecily, like all others who were gone, might be able to see the dream we have fought for, as mankind, since the beginning of time. For now, it's up to us to carry on with the struggle.
