The Daily Bugle Newspaper Friday                                                                                                                                                              June 1, 2018   National News Gear Head and Blast Furnace Bust Bank (Georgia, Kingsland)                 Two members of the dreaded Mind Warper and the Fatal Five super villain group descended on a Kingsland bank over the lunch hour today. The armor wearing ‘Blast Furnace’ and the half-robotic Gear Head escaped with cash and securities valued at in excess of half a million dollars from the Kingland’s Commerce and Trust.                 Robbery was not the only thing on the pairs agenda however. Gear Head interfaced with the bank computer and deleted all the records pertaining to one or more account holders. The FBI’s computer forensic team is trying to decipher the virus that Gear Head introduced to the system to determine which account holders were affected.                 The pair fled the scene in Gear Head’s flying vehicle before the police arrived.   Local News SAT Pursues Human Trafficker FBI Contests Jurisdictional Overreach (New York, Plattekill Town) Following up on leads developed in Arvin California SAT continued pursuing a nationwide circle of human slavers. The street gang known as the Black Muslims has been capturing white women and selling them to black men as slaves for the past two years. Torturing their victims into submission, then selling them across the country. The raid yielded the arrest of four members of the Black Muslims and rescued five women who had not yet been broken. Unfortunately only a few hours prior to the raid a ‘shipment’ of twenty women departed the compound where they were being held. Jerold Anthony, a SAT spokesman, has promised that they will not rest until these unfortunates are rescued. However statement of hope is not the end of the story. Special Agent Reuben Ayers has demanded that SAT turn over all the information concerning their actions against the Black Muslims to the FBI and cease their involvement in the case. The kidnapping of people and transporting them across state lines places the jurisdiction of the case squarely in the hand of the Bureau. SAT is a state level organization that deals with super powered treats. There is no evidence that the Black Muslims are anything but a division of organized crime, which is also under the purview of the FBI. We will, of course, request the aid of local and state law enforcement when there is the appropriate need, but this is clearly a matter for the FBI. SAT must relinquish their material and allow us to continue from this point onward. New York SAT has thus far refused to comply with the Bureau’s request and seems intent to finish what California SAT began. The FBI has filed suit on the matter which is before Judge Lester Bowen.   World News Pirate Plunder, Does it Belong To the Church? (Surinam, Paramaribo)                 In the deep basement recesses of a long abandoned church Chad Williams, amateur archeologist and treasure hunter, has found what could be the tip of an iceberg, a golden iceberg. While exploring the decaying shell of an old church Mr. Williams, armed with a metal detector, found a few gold coins under a thin layer of dirt. The coins were mostly Spanish and dated to around the year 1660, a period where Caribbean piracy was rampant but one coin stood out. It was a copper disk that bore the personal mark of Hui Xinyi Li, an obscure but very interesting figure. Not only was Hui Xinyi Li a pirate with a bloodthirsty reputation Li was also one of very few Chinese pirate captains active in the New World. Li was also one of extremely few female pirate captains. There has been a long standing rumor that Li was the lover of Lord Cardinal Terrence Tirrell. According to the rumor he provided her with a Letter of Marque (permission to plunder Spanish ships) and a letter instructing churches to offer her hospitality. The rumor also suggests that she hid vast amounts of plunder at the churches she used for refuge. Mr. Williams is trying to get permission from the Surinam government and the church, who stills owns the property, to conduct a more intensive excavation of the site.   The Daily Bugle Newspaper Wednesday                                                                                                                                                     June 6, 2018   National News Museum Vaults Plundered By Mole Machine (Connecticut, Redding)                 During the Civil War, some hundred and fifty years ago, the Gilbert & Bennett Factory produced wire mesh cloth used in window screens. Today the building is a museum commemorating the ‘war between the states’, the men who fought on both sides, and the equipment used in America’s bloodiest war.                 Someone decided to purloin some of the relics housed in the museum.                 Only a portion of the collection is on display at any current time. The rest of it is stored in underground caves and caverns that are kept, by Mother Nature, at a perfect temperature and humidity to preserve the items. Someone forced their way into the caverns using a ‘mole machine’ digging up from even more extreme depths.                 Palmer Ritch, the curator, said that the items stolen were of valuable from the perspective of historical curiosity but had little monetary value.   Local News New Restaurant Chain Anchor Opens Amidst NOW and CWA Protests (New York, New York City) The Racks BBQ House celebrates its Grand Opening today. The flagship location covers three floors and more than 8000 square feet. The menu is second to none with an impressive selection of fare and a bar that could stagger the imagination of Dionysus. With these things going for it why would the National Organization of Women and the Concerned Women of America be protesting against it? Why, because of the service that accompanies the food and drink. No one under the age of 18 is allowed admittance to the restaurant. The décor is themed after a medieval torture chamber and the staff, believe it or not, is provided by the Distorted Prism modeling agency, more than 70% of the staff is female. Female ‘prisoners’ in various stages of undress are locked in racks, cages, iron maidens along the walls of the serving area. Nearly nude and more slave girls serve the patrons. Muscle bound male slaves are available on request. Otherwise masked torturers, dungeon masters, and executioners prepare drinks, serve as bouncers, and perform the tasks related to security. Fay Goodwin of NOW say that the exploitative nature of this so-called restaurant is symptomatic of the moral decay of the culture and needs to be closed before it opens. NOW demands action and will not rest until Racks is permanently closed. Even it’s name is offensive to women. Siena Kravitz of CWA stands in complete solidarity with her ‘sisters’ in NOW and give them their unconditional support until Racks is a fading memory.   World News Refugee Situation Makes Sparks Between Latveria…Bulgaria (New York, New York City)                 Tensions in the Middle East have reach alarming new heights. In a extremely rare moment Gavril Botev, chief diplomat from Latveria, took the podium condemning Hungary for depositing Iraqi refugees on their border. For the time being the army of Latveria has only been preventing the refugees entry to their nation but that restraint is being pushed to the limit.                 More than three thousand refugees are already amassed at the border with more arriving every day. Botev issued a very public warning to Ambassador Vodenicharov of Bulgaria. If the Bulgarian government continues to deposit these people on the border of Latveria then our army will resolve the matter. Botev refused to explain what he meant and retired from the council chamber. For his part Ambassador Vodenicharov denies that his government has anything to do with the growing number of refugees on the Latverian border. He went on to say that Master Von Doom could accept tens, maybe hundreds of thousand refugees in his sparsely populated country as an act of humanity. It is, however, unlikely that the monarch of Latveria will change his fifty year closed borer policy any time soon.   The Daily Bugle Newspaper Wednesday                                                                                                                                                  June 20, 2018   National News Terrorists Attempt to Poison America’s Meat Supply (South Dakota, Belle Fourche)                 A covert team of government agents descended on the city responding to an anonymous warning of a terroristic threat. South Dakota SAT was summoned to aid in the confiscation of several tons of contaminated beef. The beef was infused with a slow acting poison that would cause painful death in anyone that consumed it.                 A splinter group of Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM) known as AID (Advanced Ideas in Destruction) is responsible. The cell that poisoned the beef and was prepared to distribute it has been neutralized.     Local News Homeless Population On The Decrease (New York, New York City) Derrick Webb, crusading advocate of the disadvantaged of the city, is concerned that he has fewer clients these days. Councilman Hyatt thinks his concerns are well intended but misplaced. The councilman has been spearheading several programs, many that center on providing healthcare for the disadvantaged and helping them find permanent housing. The dwindling number of homeless, which still measures into the tens of thousands, are a testament to the success of these outreach programs.   World News Iraqi Refugees Attack Bulgarian Capital (Bulgaria,Sofia)                 Nearly a hundred rag-tag glassy-eyed militiamen armed with advanced weaponry stormed the capital of Bulgaria in the early morning light. The apparent target of the mob was the National Assembly building. The mob was stopped by the National Defense Force but heavy casualties were taken on both sides.                 The survivors of the attacking mob were questioned but claimed to have no memory of the attack. In fact they all claimed to be Iraqi refugees living in the shelters at the foothills outside of Latveria. The last thing they recalled was getting relief packages from Latveria.                   The Daily Bugle Newspaper Friday                                                                                                                                                           June 29, 2018   National News Narcotic Cloud Stymied Freeway Responders (Texas, Dallas)                 A massive 30 car pileup on Interstate 35 just north of Dallas reveals smuggled drug shipment. Several hundred pounds of marijuana burned when the truck transporting it became ensnared in the wreckage. The billowing smoke carried a narcotic cloud that covered several miles!                 Police and rescue units responding to the massive pileup were hampered by dealing with dozens of people who were effectively baked. Those people who were injured in the accident were thankful for the pain relief despite the complications it caused in treating their injuries.                 The driver of the truck vanished in the confusion and the truck itself was stolen in Mexico a week ago.     Local News Racks BBQ Wins Gourmet Award (New York, New York City) Despite its reputation for misogyny the quality of the food has become nearly legendary. The owner of the restaurant, Lacey Bradley, says she is unconcerned by the condemnation of the general public. Her staff and her patrons are happy with the service she provides and that is enough for her. Getting the NYC Eater award was unexpected but extremely cool. She is sharing the award with Virgilio Lowe, her recipe mastermind and head chef. It will be displayed proudly between the Brazen Bull (a bull shaped oven where lovely girls are (supposedly) cooked alive) and the wheel rack where slaves (some male but mostly female) are ‘branded’ before they serve their new masters (i.e. the dining public).

After rescuing a young woman from an attack by a giant robot back in May the Neo-Defenders of New York disappeared from public sight. Many wondered if the pronouncement by Dollar Bill (of the Minutemen), that the Brigade might be a bigger threat than the robots they’ve been battling, had caused them to hang up their capes. Nothing could be further than from the truth! The group, with the help of their new sponsor Prometheus Medical Technologies, have been re-outfitted with newer cutting edge equipment, gotten more intense training, and are working more closely with PART Commander Lt. House. Threats to the citizens of New York we are putting you on notice, The Brigade is back on duty! What was their first act being back? None other than saving a dying space station what was threatening to poison the oceans off the Eastern coast of the United States. Not only did they ensure that the station would harm no living animal of the Earth they put it in the orbit that it was intended to occupy in the first place! Roscosmos, the Russian space agency and owner of OPSEK were potentially saved hundreds of millions of dollars that had been invested in the station. Unfortunately the station was severely damaged by the failed launch and the stresses of the near reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. It would not be economically feasible to perform the repairs needed to allow it to assume the operations that it was intended for. As far as we are concerned OPSEK is so-much space debris. The Brooklyn Brigade is welcome to it.
