Re: Raiding the Icebox

http://www.strangeark.com/reprints/ptero.html In September, 1939, the West African Review contained an article "Living Monster or Fabulous.Animal?" Readers will recollect that some years earlier there had been a type of "Challenger Expedition" into Central Africa to search the Iruwuni forests of the Belgian Congo for a huge, mysterious, antedeluvian monster. "Is the Brontosauros still alive in the morasses of the Congo?" were the headlines in some of the London papers...

U.S.Planned Canada Invasion -- in 1930 WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Jokes aside, the United States does indeed have a bold war plan for attacking Canada -- only thing is, it`s almost 76 years old. The Washington Post says the plan is a 94-page document that was approved by the War Department in 1930, a blueprint for battle that includes a step-by-step plan to invade, seize and annex The United States` neighbor to the north. First, according to the plan, the U.S. military sends a joint Army-Navy overseas force to capture Halifax, cutting the Canadians off from their British allies. Then forces would seize Canadian power plants near Niagara Falls, so the Canadians would 'freeze in the dark,' as the Post`s version said. Then the Army invades on three fronts -- from Vermont, North Dakota and the Midwest -- while the Navy seizes the Great Lakes and blockades Canada`s Atlantic and Pacific ports. The invasion plan was declassified in 1974, the word 'SECRET' crossed out with a heavy pencil and now sits in a little gray box in the National Archives the Post said.

Wanted Dead or Alive You are a mutant. You weren’t born this way; you are a victim of a government manufactured virus that attacked your DNA. The CDC reported that over 250,000 people died from this virus, you were one of the “lucky†ones. Unfortunately the population at large fears you. The church, under the direction of Cardinal Sin, has declared you an abomination and that you must be destroyed and they will use any holy relic in their possession to complete this task. The Governments of the world want you in their arsenal at any cost, if they cant have you alive, they will gladly take you dead so the can dissect you and find out what makes you tick. Bounty hunters are looking to reap the benefits of bounties placed upon your head by both the church and the federal government. The best you can do is lure the public onto your side which is difficult because of the actions of other like you.
