    It was late night; Viking soldiers were sitting around the camp fire. A recently promoted lieutenant joins them around the fire with his drink.

    “Friends, I just came back from a general staff meeting, news have come that the Russians have gathered an alliance of 7 nations”

    The Soldiers not surprised by the news replied:

    “how many foreign mercenaries does the Russians need to take over the world for them?”


    Lieutenant

    “men this may be misleading intel and why should we care if it is true., we are at peace with the Russian now. Even if Catherine II is after world domination, our differences have been settled, she has recognized York and Glasgow as Viking territories, we have pulled back our fleet, thus allowing Russian ships to restock again northern Russian”


    Soldiers

    “Lieutenant have you heard anything about the English? Many of us still wonder why are we at war with them, when none aggression actions have been agreed between their and our generals”


    Lieutenant

    “well that is a good question, I myself wonder about this too”

    Response to China

    Our political statements are simply stating the injustices committed against India by China in the past. We do this because it is the truth. Your threats of India's total destruction merely illustrate for others how cruel your heart is.

    Guzzo smiled as he read the latest from Princess Catherine


    “England is beaten badly and is no longer threat to them”


    Maybe people were right that she was a beautiful women, still her skill to color up the real facts were her major strength.

    England by the world statistics was still the 4th strongest nation in the world. If the princess was correct, what is to make than from the other 14 weaker civs? How ridiculous is to say that England has suffered so much in this war, when they are so much stronger then 14 other nations?

    It seemed to Guzzo that the princess lucked many diplomatic skills, she seemed to want to promote the English cause so hard, English which are a tick away from a world power statues again. England who even with its losses from this war has barely moved down a notch in the world rankings.

    Guzzo looked at this statistics and saw his home country ranked 11th, he smiled….. and fell asleep.

    Some people was persistent talking about this "Ranking" thing. Maybe this was something well established and the people were used to it. Princess Catherine was actually not very experienced in the diplomatics, also in the accounting, rankings, repairing fisher nets and numerous other probably useful to the ordinary ruler skills, yeah, but the princess was wondering what this "Ranking" thing was actually good for, if someone who is at position 11 can beat so badly someone who is ranked number 1? Princess Catherine made a note to herself to ask sometimes someone who actually knows how this thing works and shake off those refinement concepts from her delicate head.

    Near Ekron Oasis

    The young lieutenant led Captain Bourgogne over the hill that had seen so much fighting. They headed down the north-east slope, the fateful route that the Turks had tried to escape from the battlefield, and the Russians had.

    "Just over here sir. It is easy to miss."



    The simple wooden cross marked the grave. Both had been done in haste. But the markings on the cross were clear. It was the grave of the late Queen Catherine of Russia.

    "What should we do with the grave sir? Do you want the body moved?"

    Bourgogne looked around the battlefield, this hallowed ground where so many died.

    "No Lieutenant. She is at peace here. Many of her countrymen lie around her. This place is where she should be."

    "A better grave marker Captain? After all, she is, er, was a queen."

    "Someday, yes. But for now it is best if this grave remains undisturbed. And it was her people who placed the cross. Let us leave it as it is."

    Captain Bourgogne then knelt down on one knee and tied a small bouquet of white roses to the simple cross. He whispered a quiet prayer for Queen Catherine.

    The Neandor treachery continues unchecked. A vast Japanese fleet of ships now sits outside of Port Moresby, guarded by Neandor navy. There is no doubt that these Japanese troops intend to steal from England some of our last remaining outposts. Our nation has been carved up between the Vikings, French, Neandor and Indians. Now the Japanese seek to take a piece of our corpse as well.

    The poor Ottoman have been destroyed by the evil French and Israelis now as well. Three cities razed already, these evil empires set their sights on more conquest of Turk land. Is there no end? Will these evil empires with their Neandor puppet masters ever be satisfied? Will they not rest until free peoples of the world are wiped off the planet? The Ottomans even abandoned their historic faith in an attempt to appease the French & Israeli hordes, yet still they march.

    Troops from around the world fight on behalf of the Neandor's evil plans, but do the Neandor ever risk war themselves? No. They hide within their borders, the strongest nation on Earth, and continue to outstrip all nations in technology while all their neighbors weaken themselves fighting tooth and nail. What madness is this?

    When will this bloodshed end?

    This morning the Bureau of Negus Nagast was left of the intelligence report. Negus read it and called his chief of staff ras Imru
    "You know that the Zulu have a new leader," he said.

    "Yes sir, a stranger across the sea-ocean bribed several regiments of the Zulu army and they have it built for the king".

    "But it's bad," said Negus,

    "We will continue our mission to defend the Zulu nation from its corrupt rulers."

    "Yes sir, the army of Mali is ready."

    "That is our commandment-occupied several towns along the borders with Mali and ensure the protection of Mali for a long time ahead," said the Almighty Negus Nagast.

    A Royal Wedding



    The bells were ringing in the palace church in Paris at day break. It was a beautiful day. And it would be a happy day. Prince Louis, the eldest son of Phillipe, and heir to the French throne, was getting married later this morning.

    Phillipe could not help think that with all the intrigue and war and suffering in the world, it was refreshing to have an event such as this for the people. The streets of Paris would be filled. In fact, they were already starting to gather now.

    And Phillipe was happy. He and his wife were pleased that Louis had finally chosen a woman to be his wife. Claire Marie was the daughter of Captain in the French Navy. That life may have helped prepare her for the life she was now beginning.

    Phillipe wandered down to the parade square to see the horsemen practicing for the parade and ceremony. And on this side of the parade ground he spied Louis and Claire Marie sitting beside a tree, out of sight of the parading cuirassiers, and obviously enjoying each others company.



    Phillipe knew that this was unusual. The wedding was in less than 3 hours, but the two of them had still sneaked out of their respective quarters for a last tete-a-tete before they were wed. Chuckling to himself, Phillipe hid behind a tree so as not be seen, and not to embarrass the young couple. As he stood there, he mused to himself that in the years ahead they would need that love and support from each other if they were to run this nation. Phillipe could not help but think that he could not have survived these last troublesome years if not for his wife, Jaqueline. It was also clear that youngsters had, how did Rabbi Goan put it - chutzpah. Yes, that was the word. Chutzpah. Another smile crossed Phillipe's face. Having that in quantity would be helpful as well.

    When Louis and Claire Marie scurried back to the palace, Phillipe waited five minutes before returning himself. Yes, he thought, this is going to be a happy day for once.

    Hah! But of course Russia decides where to move or not its armies out of Damascus and let the French take the city to pay their Thirty pieces of silver price for the betrayal of the Judas.



    About the menace part, I should have written it a bit simpler so even the Neandors can understand it correct.

    It is Neandor who is the menace and it is Russia's fate and destiny to save the world from it

    Neander is actually quite uncertain as to Japanese intentions... our Asian fleet is for the protection of our colonies.

    Neander's Ottoman Turk neighbours have been forced into slavery and goaded into wars they can not afford by the puppeteer herself.

    Historically Neander has done everything possible to assist the Turks, including the gifting of Arthurton.

    The bear has devoured the turkey.

    I, King Veneta played absolutely NO part in the Vikings plans. We simply suggested that it would be easier for them to expand West rather than East. In exchange Neander protected the Viking border. What the Vikings did however was quite repugnant to my sensibilities

    Now truthfully, YOU declared war on Neander, causing significant damage to our economy and populations. BECAUSE of this we captured two tiny Australis colonies and gave one to India. That is all. Neander has avoided inflicting blockade harm on you as it contradicts our policies of fairness and free trade. Be happy about this because Neander's HUGE fleet could easily decimate Iceland. But we feel sorry for you.

    And as for science, Russia robs revenue from its running dogs to develop technology faster than Neander or anyone else. FACT.

Good deal for the Neandors - they get one of the finest cities in the World, while the poor Ottomans get the mediocre feeding-on-yellow city of Moldavia.
    And as for fork tongue tramp of the arctic forests you have many facts wrong

    The Turks were incapable of any war at that BC stage of history with only Warrior and Archer. Neander had Axemen and used this advantage to strike a deal with France. This is why France has NW Africa, receiving a settler and other support along with a solid ally in the Neander.

    Relinquishing the site for Moldavia was a supportive act by Neander and we made a sacrifice for that.

    You have many other facts wrong but your verbosity and puffed out expression shows you for what you are: a desperate, bullying, manipulative, lying, despicable woman...

    ah, that's better...

    Yeah,
    strike a deal
    you call taking half of someone's cities (France had 2 cities and you took 1 - FACT)

    Now your clique
    strike a deal
    with England taking 7 of their cities. And invented a new kind of
    strike a deal
    with the Ottomans RAZING 3 of their cities.

    And as for science, Russia robs revenue from its running dogs to develop technology faster than Neander or anyone else. FACT.
    Fact, but Neandorish fact. You cant imagine how far you are from the truth, but it is not my business to open your eyes.

    And as for fork tongue tramp of the arctic forests you have many facts wrong
    Ah, there is no good deed unpunished it seems. Only because Catherine wanted dialogue for this matter, instead of just settling it without asking anyone lead to this case, that the Neandors have 2 cities there.
    The Turks were incapable of any war at that BC stage of history with only Warrior and Archer.
    And yet they started the war, from which you benefit by taking the juicy Venetia breaking your previously given word to the Gaul leader.

    This is why France has NW Africa, receiving a settler and other support along with a solid ally in the Neander.
    France has NW Africa only because Neandor drove them there and this incurred to France the hatred of all the Africans. Since then how many wars are waged for this land? Have no doubt about this - all the Africans hate you 2 for this and will never forgive you. Now they are with you, because you are the strong of the day and they are using you to their small benefits, but their hatred for France and their Lord - Protector Neandor will smolder and burn again when they can have a bit of air. You, seeder of wind will reap hurricane.

    Relinquishing the site for Moldavia was a supportive act by Neander and we made a sacrifice for that.
    Really? It is not in Russian manner to reveal private communication, so I will not post your letters here, but I can guarantee everyone that this is not true. Or at least you told me this, so you are either lying then or now.

    ah, that's better...
    Good you have your bottle of vodka to comfort your lonely night and warm up your cold cruel heart, you Neanderthal!

    Ras Imru Commander Malian army received information that a delegation from the Zulu chiefs approaching his camp. He took them in his tent, they went and knelt humbly before him.

    "Why have you come," he said.

    "Lord Imru we come on behalf of all the Zulu chiefs, we want to give up on Negus Nagast, that Zulu is left of his mercy and we will do everything commanded lord Mali"

    all Zulu chiefs began to rumor, "we hope to live Negus Nagast thousand years ":

    Ras Imru said" I will convey your words of great Negus. At these words the general's emissaries Zulu withdrew worship

    A Public Response From France



    As approved by King Phillipe and issued today by the French Foreign Affairs Office.

    In rebuttal to various claims and insinuations made by certain nations, we state as follows:

    (see - France lost so many man ATTACKING the English cities, so they now England OWE them their capitol).
    In fact, we have lost relatively few units in England and North Africa.

    The Vikings and the French trumpeted that they are fighting "Gentlemen war" not pillaging..
    France never 'trumpeted' any such thing. And we do not fight a 'gentleman's war'. We fight with honor. And we fight to win.

    ... razed 3 Ottoman cities..
    This reference is made by many nations. Yes, we destroyed the 3 Turkish settlements in North Africa. Two were size one towns and Arthurton not much larger. The English blockade killed many more French than that.

    Their main competitor - England is beaten badly and is no longer a threat to them.
    You clearly have not looked at the power graph lately.

    France has NW Africa only because Neandor drove them there and this incurred to France the hatred of all the Africans. Since then how many wars are waged for this land? Have no doubt about this - all the Africans hate you 2 for this and will never forgive you.
    France has had settlements in Africa for hundreds of years. We were not driven there by Neandor. Had the settlement of the Venetia area worked out differently than it did, we still would have settled Tangiers and Agadir.

    There are three other nations in Africa. France has excellent relations and alliances with two of them. The third, the Zulus, we have had little contact but excellent trade relations. We could have easily moved earlier in our history to claim Mali or Israeli territory when they were weak militarily. But we respect their borders and their claim to their land. I thank you for your interpretation of how they actually feel about us, but it would seem that actions speak louder than words in this case.

    and we saw what a generous donation of military training and Neandor army can do with a seemingly backward and weak nation as France
    France has never been weak. From our early conflicts with the damnanglais, and up to the recent fighting, our nation has invested heavily in our military.

    And to correct this, and all the other statements regarding Neandor's military 'generosity', they have outright gifted us 3 units. I have also gifted Neandor units. The remaining units are all French built, and upgraded using French gold. Yes, we use Neandor technology, but even there, that is partially funded by France.

    France is in an alliance. We are not a vassal of Neandor.

    Troops from around the world fight on behalf of the Neandor's evil plans, but do the Neandor ever risk war themselves? No. They hide within their borders, the strongest nation on Earth, and continue to outstrip all nations in technology while all their neighbors weaken themselves fighting tooth and nail. What madness is this?
    To remind Queen Elizabeth of history, Neandor WAS at war, but the English Pope, supported by allied Christian nations, concocted a forced peace. Madness indeed.

    Confidential informers inside the Government have reported that all attempts to make peace with France have failed. The French continually refuse to even discuss the subject privately, while publicly decrying the horrors of the War.
    There is still one outstanding issue. The Israeli's have made it clear that Damascus is to be returned to Israel.

    Officials confirm that France has failed to fufil its public promise to account for the prisoners of war, leaving no alternative but to assume that they have been murdered after throwing down their arms.
    The many prisoners of war are safe and well fed. They are being held in a POW camp in North-West Africa. This is a fact and your continuing statements to the contrary only undermine the rest of your propaganda.

    The POW's will be returned to Ottoman territory when an acceptable peace deal is reached.

    End of Statement

    The truth about the ancient Venetii War

    Open statement.

    In BC times Neander declared war on France upon their founding of Venetii. Neander was the first despotism in history to declare a war and for this we lament but are proud of our ancient warriors. We have never since been an aggressor.

    At the time Neander was the only despotism to have AxeNeanders in Europe.

    When Venetii was settled by France it was seen as an exploit and severely limited Neander's tribal lands and resources (imagine Neander without Venetii peninsula and already pinned down by St Petersburg). Initially we saw it as a place for our close friends the Ottomans for expansion. For long Neander waited for Ottoman units but they only had Warriors and Archers and said they could not attack Venetii.

    In the course of a heated three way tribal diplomacy it was revealed that both France and the Ottomans had far more land for expansion than the Neander (much of the map was still invisible to us and the Ottomans had not been entirely honest - imagine them with the Venetii peninsula).

    Upon pointing this out the Ottomans acquiesced to friendship and diplomacy and agreed to Neander's acquisition of the Venetii peninsula and France agreed to a deal as mentioned.

    Thus the other deal with the Ottomans was that the Neander would not build in the Moldavia region. A Russian settler was on its way there so we advised the Ottomans to hasten the Ottoman settler to beat the Russians; and the Ottomans won. ChariotNeanders were on standby in case the Russians got there first.

    So for a technological superior despotism as Neander to strike reasonable deals with both France and the Ottomans was much more than anyone could have hoped for. Quite simply Neander had the military capability to take both the Venetii peninsula and Moldavia region.

    But the legendary Grunting Grunzen was a very fair despot.
    The question of whether modern humans and Neanderthals mated when they encountered each other 40,000 years ago is highly controversial.

    Of course we did not drive you there but we promised France and the Ottomans that Neander would NOT be competition for settling Africa. This is why we so swiftly gifted the DA town of Arthurton to the Turks.

    And why we were so disappointed in the DA settling two cities in Africa on all our cultural borders without any discussion whatsoever.

    So Neander's non presence in Africa allowed for less friction and the growth of a strong alliance, initially with the Turks but ultimately with France.

    Congratulations on the royal marriage. It is good to read such stories.

    In the Indian foreign ministry

    Esteemed Instigator Vayaraman, I present to you an update on recent events in west. Neandor, France, England and Russia seem to have abandoned their war of muskets and swords and instead fight now with letters and words. Our analysis so far indicates that this is mostly blustering and has little effect on actual policy and even less relevance for India. Generally speaking their talk merely seems to press them all the harder into their established positions of animosity and dislike of each other.

    Also, the Africans are currently warring amongst themselves, specifically the western group called Mali and the eastern tribes united under the name of Zulu. We have very vague intelligence from this region, but we suspect from details revealed that Mali currently has the upper hand. This belief is strengthened by a recent messenger from Zululand, requesting India to end trade with Mali, or even declare war on them. Admittedly, this request took us by surprise as we have never had any form of contact with the Zulu nation. It also seems that they are quite oblivious to India's dedication to principles of Pacifism, and though I have yet to receive the report, if memory serves me correctly, India does not have a trade agreement with Mali.


    -This Zulu request is highly illogical behaviour, Inquirer Bavagayada. What do you believe would be a logical response to such an illogical act?


    Forgive my hastily compiled analysis, but logic tells us to respond favourably towards the Zulu empire. I surmise that your raised eyebrow is a desire that I elaborate my premises. Normally such a message might be dismissed without further interest, but due to the proximity of Zululand to our expanding sphere of influence, we should survey the possibilities closer. As you know, our policy of non-violence has led to remarkable and fruitful leaps forward for the Indian nation. Though we are nowhere near the greatness of more belligerent empires, our pacifism continues to be rewarding, it is therefore logical that we do not break with our ideals. Unfortunately, our pacifism has also cost us in terms of land acquisition, I need not go into detail regarding Hangzhou, nor England seizing Australia, both of them unpunished. However, we could logically make gains or concessions from the Africans in return for our aid. We will have to open further channels with the Zulu in order for this to be fruitful.


    -A very bold analysis Inquirer Bavagayada, I will consider your suggestions when I pass my recommendations to the Executor of Foreign affairs. Congratulations on your promotion to Sub-Instigator, such creative thinking need be encouraged. For your next project I would like to be provided with an analysis of the Japanese fleet and its intentions. I expect excellence here also, after all, it is only logical.

    The Daily Turkey

    The Upstart Suleiman Announces Designs on the Sultan's Throne



    The The young Jannisary Suleiman has announced publicly that he should be among the persons being considered for acension to the position of Sultan. He now claims the famed Sultan Suleiman I as his ancestor, and has taken to wearing fancy uniforms and robes and riding a formidable Warhorse in public. He claims that none of the other "pretenders to the throne" as he calls them, have rights which superceed his own... save Prince Ahmed II. However, Suleiman, and many others complain that Prince Ahmed is too young to lead the Nation in such perilous times. Rumors have already begun to circulate that if the Sultan does not elevate Suleiman, he will raise an army and attempt to take the throne by force.

    The Sultan Prepares to Retire


    Our sources in the administration can now confirm that the Sultan has temporarily ceded full Military authority to his Chief Naval Advisor, Jamal, while he spends all his time reviewing claims of potential succesors. Many feel this is the first step in the Sultan abdicating power to Jamal, although this has not been confirmed.

    Supreme Commander Jamal moves to Damascus



    As Supreme Military Commander Jamal can no longer focus soleley on Naval affairs, and he has departed the Capital for Damascus to evaluate the defenses of the city. Although Jamal is clearly intending to switch focus to the Army He has yet to announce a new or temporary Chief of Naval affairs.

    The Sexxstanbul

    Public Relations Minister Aysecan rumored to be caught in Sultry Love Triangle!


    Our Nation's beloved Public Relations Minister was seen by our intrepid reporters involved in a heated dispute over a prize bottle of Aged Turkish wine. What is of interest, is that the dispute was between two of the contenders to the Turkish throne. It is rumored that she is the romantic interest of BOTH Prince Ahmed II AND his rival, the upstart Suleiman "The Magnificent," and that the wine was a gift to Aysecan from one of the men... which infuriated the other.

    Aysecan, sporting a salon-fresh, uncharacteristically longer hairdo was approached for comment... When asked about the suitor controversy... She laughed and shrugged off the matter saying "The nation is at War... The Sultan is retiring... and this is all you have to talk about?!?"

    When questioned about her longer hairstyle, she smiled and winked, saying "Well... a lady must still look her best... even in the worst of times, should she not?" However, our sources have informed us that she is growing her hair to impress a mysterious prominent admirer... possibly NOT the Prince or The "Magnificent" One.

    The Sexxstanbul will keep you informed on all the latest gossip as this story develops.

    Ruler of Mali gathered in the hall of peace all his ministers and generals and ambassadors of foreign countries. Sitting on his throne, he said:
    "Let the people of Mali and the whole world know that Zulu is inclined to Mali, city residents Nombata voluntarily wished to become part of Mali, we accept them with open arms. Zulu promised not to bother our borders and to bring order to their country and their people to prosper. We welcome this. Mali will be watching whether the Zulu to keep their promises. Mali categorically rejects charges of aggression and wants to recall that Zulu was in anarchy and oppressed Mali, so when Zulu already has a stable government Mali stop hostilities. But we warn if Zulu start behaving aggressively towards us we will answer in the same way. "
    After this brief speech Negus Nagast withdrew to his chambers.

    The Port of Damascus...




    By the time he arrived, Damascus had become a Fortress in its own right... Supreme Commander Jamal had hit the ground running... already having secretly appointed his replacement... A new Cheif Naval Advisor... The Sultan would not be pleased, but he needed someone who would be as daring as he had been... and perhaps this appointment would distract his rival from his Royal aspirations... Only Time would tell... he thought to himself.

    Aysecan's private Chambers...

    Running full speed as usual, Taner caught Aysecan just as she was emerging from her private baths...



    "Mah.. mah... Madame..." Taner said, catching his breath... "The Sultan... whew... he summons you immediately. He insists that it is urgent..."

    Aysecan smiled knowingly... "He always does..."

    Meanwhile... in the Sultan's Court...

    "What?!?... shouted the Sultan incredulously "Suleiman?!?... But why would he elevate that upstart blowhard?"

    "Supreme Comander Jamal felt he was the most qualified man available... Your Majesty" Aysecan remarked loudly as she strolled into the room... "And according to my information, he has already won a small victory for the Navy"

    "Hmmm" ... The Sultan's face softened... "Victory you say?... Very well Aysecan, prepare a statement, and send my congratulations to Jamal for his good judgement."
    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Notice to Concerned Nations:

    Let it be known that His Majesty, the Sultan has elevated his former Cheif Naval Advisor, Jamal, to Supreme Military Commander over all Ottoman Turk Forces. Be it further known that as Supreme Commander, Jamal has seen fit to appoint Suleiman II to the position of Cheif Naval Advisor.

    Be it further known that as his first act as Cheif Naval Advisor, Suleiman conducted surveilance of the Mediterranean Coasts and became aware the the Israelis have attempted to establish a military encampment across the sea from Athena, near the location of the ruins of the former city Ekron.

    As Suleiman's investigation revealed that the camp was little more than a few empty tents, a campfire and a lone scout, it was determined that it would be best to disperse the camp before it became a port camp. He therefore rapidly assembled a brute squad, armed with battons and clubs, to tear down the tents and disperse the camp. No civilians were present, nor were there any buildings or permanent structures of any kind whatsoever. The lone, unarmed scout watching the Camp was taken prisoner aboard Suleiman's ship for interrogation.

    The prisoner has already revealed that the Israelis, in very underhanded fashion, tried to name the small camp "Ekron," he admits it was purely to invoke emotion and for cheap political effect... to feign outrage if the camp was dispersed by trying to exagerate the occurence.The Ottoman Turks condemn such shameful political maneuvering and encourage other nations to do the same.

    Again, this so-called new "Ekron" was not Ekron at all... it was nothing more than a campfire and a tent, set up on the coast to spy on Turkey from across the sea. It contained NO buildings, NO garrison, and NO civilians. It was not razed or burned in any fashion, the brute squad merely disasembled the tents and extinguished the camp fire. We encourage the Israelis to refrain from building unguarded scout camps in War Zones as they will be dispersed immediately.

    Paris

    Prince Armand welcomed the two colonels by ordering a round of cognac. This drinking establishment was well off the beaten path, and that was the reason the Prince, the younger brother to the King, had chosen it.

    "Greetings my Gallic brothers" he stated as he welcomed the two military leaders.

    "Greetings Prince Armand".

    Armand asked "So have you heard the latest?"

    "The Vikings having made a peace pact with the damnanglais? Yes. We have heard." With that Colonel Bruys leaned over his shoulder and spat on the bar floor .... "Damn Anglais!"

    Colonel Trepain leaned over his shoulder and spat "Damn Vikings!".

    "So why are we still in this alliance, this ACE as my brother puts it? What is it doing for Gaul?"

    "Nothing!" answered the two colonels.

    The conversation got more agitated, and much louder, over the next hour.

    None of the three noticed the individual in the corner, quietly nursing his beer, and catching every word which was said.

    Ottomns raze Ekron again

    The city of Ekron had been rebuilt by the Israelians.
    Many many years the Jews had been trying to rebuilt the city in it's former glory.
    And then finally the city was there again, on the shores of the Mediterranea!

    And then..... another Ottoman invasion started.
    Again all men, women and children were killed. The women were raped first.

    This was the 3rd time that the Ottomans had destroyed an Israelian city completely.
    First the city of Jerusalem, the holy place of the Jews. And then Ekron twice.

    In the meanwhile the Russians try to mediate between the Ottomans and the Israelians.
    Rabbi Amram Goan was about to accept the Russian offer, but then he hears of the massacre at Ekron.
    He could not sign it. Unfortunatley the war would continue.

    Public Response to Israeli Claims:


    All Nations be on notice that the last public statement by Israel was a complete and total falsehood. This pathetic attempt at propaganda is despicable but was anticipated, and was pre-empted by our previous statement. However, the Sultan has authorized a brief response to reiterate our prior clarifications.

    As previously stated, the Israelis attempted to establish a military camp near the ruins of Ekron. This camp was NOT a city! The camp contained only empty tents, and a campfire. There was NO garrison, and NO civilians, and consequently NO rapes! One unarmed Israeli scout was found in the vicinity and he is being interrogated, but he is being treated well.

    As there were absolutely NO buildings or permanent structures of any kind whatsoever, it is completely preposterous for Israel to claim that this was a city. Nothing was destroyed, as there was nothing to destroy, all that occured was the dissasembling of the tents, the extinguishing of the campfire, and the capture of the lone propagandist that was sent to create the camp.

    Again, the Israeli's attempt to designate this empty camp as another city of Ekron is despicable, cowardly, propaganda at it's worst, and an obvious attempt to smear the Ottoman Turk people with lies and negative press. We regard the last Israeli statement of proof positive that the information gleaned from the captured scout as truth. The camp was obviously established and named Ekron to serve as a negative propaganda tool.

    Additionally, we reject the Israeli claims of a pending peace treaty, brokered by Russia. This is another obvious lie. France, has already stated publicly that Israel would not accept peace without the capture of Damascus. Turkey has already offered peace to Israel and been rejected. Therefore we remind Israel that a state of war exists between us and unguarded scout camps will be dispersed.

    We do not know the source of the cowardly, libelous, slanderous statement released by Israel as it was not signed by anyone. Nor was any indication given as to its source. We consider that fact alone as an indication of the scandalous, scurrilous nature of the content of the message. We implore Israel to control its press better than this, and punish the parties who released such a horrible tirade of lies.

    Report from Ekron:*

    13 And there was a day when Rabbi Amram Goan's sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house in Ekron: 14 And there came a messenger unto Rabbi Amram Goan, and said, The oxen were plowing the fields near Ekron, and the asses feeding beside them: 15 And the Ottomans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of the Turks has fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Ottomans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house in Ekron: 19 And, behold, there came a great group of Turkish soldiers from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
    20 Then Rabbi Amram Goan arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, 21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. 22 In all this Amram Goan sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

    Aysecan's Chambers...



    "Really?" Aysecan rolled her eyes and looked up, over her shoulder as she finished reading Taner's report on the latest Israeli propaganda...

    Taner shook his head in similar shock at what the Israeli's had done "Yes Milady, they actually PLAGIRIZED AND FORGED words of their own professed Holy Book... What Sacrilege... I guess it is not our concern as we are Hindus now... but still, they must be desperate... And it MUST offend the Christians greatly, as it is their Holy Book as well"

    "I can't believe they are still trying to push these blatant lies on the world! Why don't they just give up? It's sooo obvious..." Aysecan narrowed her eyes... "Perhaps their attempt to smear us is part of some greater scheme that we have not discovered... Investigate this immediately Taner, and I will issue our response to this Plagirist Forgery..."
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Public Notice:

    IMG_0237.jpg
    Be it know to All Nations that the Ottoman Turks condemn the latest Israeli propaganda and further assert that the statement contains obvious, manifest plagirism and forgery. We call on all nations to condemn this denegration of the Christian Holy Book and we again call on Israel to cease its lies and slander against the Ottoman Turk people.

    The evidence of forgery, lies and plagirism are too many to list, so I will list only the most obvious and aggregious... The first blatant lie is this:
    Quote Originally Posted by Israel (DoE) View Post

Our historians estimate that this text was written over 1000 years ago, certainly before the religion of Christianity emerged, and concerns events that occured many thousands of years ago, NOT the recent dispersement of the Israeli spy camp.

    In fact, the propagandist writer foolishly included a footnote which references the actual Holy Text, where readers can see his plagirism for themselves
    Quote Originally Posted by Israel (DoE) View Post

    The most obvious instance of shameful editing is found here:
    Quote Originally Posted by Israel (DoE) View Post

    Clearly the propagandist did not proofread his own disgusting edits of the Christian Holy Book, because he forgot to edit out "Job" and replace it with "Amram Goan" as he did throughout the passage. This, more than anything proves that this is not an actual report of recent events but instead a poorly plagarized, edited excerpt from the Book of Job. We are saddened for all Christians that their Holy Book was treated so disrespectfully.

    Our case is proven, but we would direct the World Community to one final insulting bit of editing by the propagandist Israeli liars:
    Quote Originally Posted by Israel (DoE) View Post

    Verse 15 of Job says "Sabeans" not "Ottomans." Verse 16 says "fire of God" not "fire of the Turks." It is particularly blasphemous for a nation that claims to be so religious to put Turks in place of God's name... and also ridiculous because the passage says the fire fell "from heaven" not bows or weapons, or persons. verse 17 says "Chaldeans" not "Ottomans" and verse 19 says "a great wind" knocked the house down, not a "group of Turkish soldiers." These edits are lies, intended to smear the name of the Ottoman-turks to the World, and these lies should be condemned.

    Finally. as before, we notice that this disgraceful trash was not signed by the issuer, which further belies its disreputable origins...
