THE WORLD Russian Army Pushes UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS Nuclear Meltdown In France Last night there was an explosion at the Charles DeGaulle nuclear reactor 70 miles east of Paris. Reports are sketchy, but it is believed that a terrorist organization was responsible. Safety valves were sabotaged and the fuel rods were exposed causing a meltdown. Fallout has covered the countryside and millions of people have been exposed to lethal radiation. All foliage within a fifteen miles radius has withered. Total panic has overcome the local population but they can do nothing except await a slow painful death from the contamination. Towards Persian Gulf The dark cloud of expectation has finally burst. The Russian army has slashed across the plains of Iran, swept through the cities of Tehran and Esfahan and is pressing toward the strategic Persian Gulf region. Military experts estimate the Soviet strength at between two and three million men, 20,000 tanks and 1700 bomber and fighter planes. A strong naval assault has also been launched from the Mediterranean Sea. The final objective of the Communist attack is believed to be tiny Israel. Israel is situated at the center of the “land bridge” that connects Europe, Asia and Africa, and is therefore of great military importance. Also the Dead Sea contains many important minerals. One of these minerals, potash, is a vital ingredient in farm fertilizer. When the population explosion begins to bring worldwide famine, potash will become extremely valuable for food production. By conquering Israel and the oil-rich Persian Gulf nations, Russia will attempt to gain control of the entire Middle East and thus have a stranglehold on the oilstarved Western nations. UNEMPLOYED JAPANESE RIOT IN TOKYO Unemployed Japanese workers riot in Tokyo as police with aluminum shields await the next onslaught. Unrest has grown in past weeks when it was announced that massive layoffs and devaluation of the yen was inevitable. Banks Folding Conspiracy Suspected London Banks are folding as the value of the pound is plummeting. Frantic depositors are lining up hoping to withdraw their savings. The British government has issued statements to calm the public but to no avail. Similar scenes occurred in other major cities around the world today. Our correspondent in England, Harold Davis, interviewed the President of a leading London bank. DAVIS: To what do you attribute the worldwide economic mayhem? BANKER: As you know it was coming for a long time. The western nations’ dependence on oil, unbalanced budgets, low production, inflationary spirals, soaring interest rates and lack of leadership precipitated this inevitable debacle. There has been talk that a group called the Trilateral Commission was formed to achieve world domination. The group consists of a handful of men that control banking and industry. They realize that if they can grind the economy to a standstill, the people will be desperate for a leader. The Commission will provide a leader with charisma and intellect who will put the world back on its feet. I’m sure you have read of “Big Brother” in “1984.” Mr. Orwell seemed to have uncanny foresight. DAVIS: You mean to tell me that this is a conspiracy and that all this suffering could have been prevented. BANKER: Yes, these men are trying to convince us that what they are doing will save mankind. Isn’t it obvious to you that we are all being manipulated by someone? DAVIS: Yes, that appears to be true.

The entire army was on full alert, when in the valley of Hamon Gog they met what appeared to be a supernatural end. Reports are not clear about what took place, but there was an incredible earthquake in the valley coupled with lightning and thunder and huge hailstones. It appeared to be an act of God as the few surrounding villages were left untouched. There was a report in the early 1980s of three rabbis each having the same dream foretelling this occurrence and the coming of their Messiah. Since the miraculous destruction of the Russian Army there has been a wave of optimism in Jerusalem and all through Israel. One rabbi was quoted as saying “The Messiah will come, solve the Mideast situation and bring peace to the world.” World Economy Nears Collapse Banks and financial institutions in many nations are folding fast. Because of runaway inflation and outrageous interest rates, paper currency is becoming worthless. Industry is grinding to a halt all over the world and countries are becoming involved in trade wars in order to survive. Stock markets and commodity exchanges have crashed and the price of gold has soared to an all-time high. People lucky enough to find work are barely able to feed their families. World leaders are desperately looking for a solution but no answer is in sight. Trading is frantic at the New York Stock Exchange. The Dow Jones Index has dropped to an all-time low and the market is in turmoil. It is now feared the Securities and Exchange Commission will suspend trading.
