Historian presents startling new evidence of Soviet landing on Mars

Did cosmonauts of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics become the first people of Earth to land on Mars? The acclaimed historian Lavrentiy Antonov has claimed so, in his recently published article "Red Planet, Red Visitors". The article, published on May 1st, purports that the USSR landed the first man on Mars already in 1982, decades before the Western world thought such an event a realistic goal.

Antonov, whose research into the Soviet space program has been funded by grants from the Saint Petersburg State University and the Vladimir Putin College of Aerospace Research in Moscow, has spent the last three years delving deep into until recently (and still partially) classified archives, and came to this startling conclusion. So far, he has been unable to explain why this massive landmark in human history was never revealed to the public, but he says to Mars Today that he is currently writing a second article on the subject.

Foreign observers have been quick to provide critiques of this new theory, denouncing not only Antonov's scientific credentials, but his political affiliations as well. Commenting on the issue, the historian - whose controversial book "Chechens - Did They Exist?" briefly became a best-seller in Russia three years ago - vehemently denied any relation between his scholarly efforts and his membership in the Neo-Bolshevik Eurasia Front, a fringe Moscow-based political association.

So, things are getting pretty bad here. As if that's anything new. But hey, I saw something on the side of a building the other day. Looks like not everybody's happy with the Reds and National Front.

Attachment enclosed.

The attached file leads to a few photographs of buildings in Unity City largely associated with Red Enyalius. Graffiti covers the walls, reading "A Society of thugs and pigs is no Society at all" and "The only thing Red is the blood you spill". Not to leave anybody out, the file also includes a few tags, seemingly anti-NFUME in character, that read "¡A las barricadas!" and "Mars: Which side are YOU on?" The authorship of this vandalism becomes clear when several nearby tags of crudely stenciled nightingales and the sword of Asclepius are spotted.

Sure looks crazy. Makes me glad that I don't have to live there.

Still, things should be getting better soon. I mean, I heard that the NAU plans to move in soon to restore order. You know, expand their economic influence, get some prestige, make it look like they actually care to all those third world countries that helped fund Unity City. So that'll be fun to watch,

Murder, chaos and death in the south as the British Colonial authorities make their way out of what used to be Victoria District. Reporter Amelia Romanov is on the ground, exploring the consequences and providing data from the agricultural settlements along the Clearwater Lake.

*Video starts playing, the picture seems to come from an embedded camera in the journalist's jacket, as she walks through what seems to be a deserted field. The crops on it seem to have been burned black.*

"This is where the British Security Forces passed a few days ago, locals complain that this happened to many fields and I have personally seen them pick up what they can and loot their way to Clearwater City."

*the camera cuts to an image of soldiers dressed in all-black uniforms, with the Union Jack on their armbands, cutting crops with their machete and hastily throwing them into bags, before climbing on a truck and throwing dousing the left of the field with fire form a torch*

"After the devastation caused to some of their crops, the farmers in the Clearwater area are worrying about a weak harvest, as fields like this are ruined after the Black March, as it is beginning to be called."

*The camera cuts to Clearwater City, showing the neighborhood occupied by the security forces*

"We were there when the British landed, looking with awe as they expelled what they described as "undesirables", which sadly it seems to describe anybody who doesn't look white enough or is speaking some European language."

*the camera, embedded in the jacked of the journalist shows her arguing with a man clad in black, as he pushes her back, the speakers on his power armor boom "Get behind the line, pig!" as he pushes her with his powered armor. People around the Journalist are yelling at the British, exchanging insults in a variety of languages. The journalist looks left, concentrating the small camera on an obviously Muslim man who is struck by the massive hand of the soldier, flinging him a few meters to the side, with his head bleeding. The British continue to boom through their loudspeakers "This area is under protection of His Majesty's Martian Forces, do not interfere with our operations", the suits create a eerie mechanic echo in the voice of the soldiers, as their massive line slowly pushes back the protesting citizens.*

"And so, under the guise of claiming to be protecting from criminals, thousands of people have been expelled, living in camps, slowly the outskirts of Clearwater city are turning into slums. With fear of possible violence escalating."


*the video fades, replaced by a white lettering that reads:
"Help stop this aggression against civilians, send emails and letters to your local administration to pressure the British Federation to better control its soldiers. Help with the relief efforts, donate to the charities that help the displaced, you can find them here: >links<

=Welcome to New Glasgow!=
Image
Once, the Victoria Factory District was among the dirtiest, most corrupt and bureaucratic colonies on the Red Planet. Used as a handy outlet for those unhappy with the state of affairs in Britain, but with a claustrophobic and oppressive regime that killed innocents without question, it struggled where others thrive. But no longer.
Image
Where once the Red Planet was cold and lifeless, now her atmosphere is gradually settling, terraforming efforts bearing fruit. And where once the Victoria Factory District was cold and oppressive, now the liberation has created New Glasgow - warm, enterprising, hardy and ready to fight for her citizens. Yet there is so much more we could do - that you could do.
Image
The Republic of New Glasgow has won freedom and rights for her citizens, for those who believe in the ideals of the Old Caledon and seek to build it anew. But the London authorities, in their Black Flight, sabotaged many of our systems, and killed many of our most skilled workers. That is where you, prospective citizen, may come in. Join the Republic as a citizen and an equal, and help us create a colony that is focused not on profit and not on slavery. But on justice and security. Our ancient nations on the Blue Planet, and their present oppressive government, have created a resourceful diaspora over hundreds of years.

From soldiers to engineers to farmers; from exiles in the rest of Mars to those on Earth herself - our New Caledon welcomes new pioneers with ties to the Old. No longer a subject but a citizen, come and build a future for yourself and your descendants in New Glasgow!

Image

Prospective citizen, New Glasgow wants you!

So you guys have already heard about the Amnesty International report on the British Forces, right? They've been looting every farm they come across on their way from Victoria New Glasgow to Clearwater, stealing food and burning what they can't carry. Even hit my uncle's farm in Tishomingo, the pricks...

Anyway, I hear a bunch of the Rangers have been going from settlement to settlement up there, driving off some of the stragglers still making their way through. They've seriously had it out for the blackshirts ever since they started shooting rockets at their own city, and if my friends up north aren't full of shit, they're finally asking people if they want to join up. I'm heading over to Wasatch Station tomorrow before they leave: I'm not the best shot I know, but I can still shoot and I fix an engine better than anyone else in the shop. It's about time we helped them the way they help us.

Subject: Re: Black March


Are we seriously jumping on the bandwagon and defending murderers and criminals? I mean, sure, I don't agree with how the Brits treated them, but come on! They were there for a reason, u really think these people were sent there for no reason at all?

I mean, they were sentenced criminals, look it up! The British Ministry for whateverthefuck has posted tons of information online about the "leaders" of the "revolution". Yu know what it says? Theft, murder, rape, assault, treason!

Wake up people...

I... are you serious? I hope you are sarcastic... If not, a mod has to intervene.

I mean, I can take the time and effort to debunk the kind of bullshit you posted here, but is it really worth it? I mean, you are taking information from the British Ministry of Penal Labor... Now I can see you have a problem with words and a hard time understanding them, so I'll ask you to look up what "Penal Labor" means in the British law. The people there were slaves... SLAVES, in the fucking 22rd century.

I though there were smarter people here. I mean, u would tell me you support senseless murder! These criminals killed a shitton of people, civilians and military alike. You are all dumb if you think this "New Glasgow" has any right to fuck with anyone... They took down a shuttle carrying innocents! They are just like the Islamofascists and the Eurofascists, trying to impose their own laws on someone else... I am sure they will probably attempt to impose some form of Sheria law as well. I hope the British destroy them.

Subject: Re: Black March


Fizzie, I don't even know where to start... If you are so keen on taking into consideration the death of innocents, please, look up the costs of the black march in the OP of this thread, you will find that the people who suffer number in the thousands. I presume you are far from Clearwater city to see the shitstorm the British are causing to the districts. If you don't believe me, you can find all of this data here >>link<<, it is a link to Amnesty International Mars that describes in great detail the cost for both conflicts in both men, material and lives of locals. Even with that though, you are sadly confusing condemning the Black March with excusing the Scottish Rebellion, and that is a whole different topic entirely.

But what strikes me the most is not your delusion on the nature of the Scottish rebellion, that is understandable and nobody can really agree at this stage if its for the better, what strikes me is your blatant racism and the bullshit you said about Muslims and Europeans both. For that, I wield the banhammer.

tl;dr: You are banned for promoting racism, islamophobia, europhobia and hatred, not for your delusion on the Scottish - British conflict.

Directorate announces water treatment expansion

After receiving a call from the Martian Directorate's public relations department, Mars Today was granted an exclusive interview with Colonel General Danila Zakharov himself. A decorated serviceman and perhaps the single most important piece of field equipment the Union State of the All-Russian Nation has on the Red Planet, Zakharov managed to take some time off his busy schedule to discuss the subject of recently announced plans to expand Gorchakov Camp's water treatment facilities. A video version of this interview can be found at www.marstoday.com/in-motion/.
____

S. Kalinov: Sir, first of all, would you mind describing the current state of the Camp's water infrastructure?
D. Zakharov: Most of the details are classified, but I can tell you that there are as of now two minor water treatment stations in function.
S. Kalinov: Why the sudden decision to construct an additional station, then?
D. Zakharov: The choice was made on a strictly humanitarian basis. While all detainees of the Camp are, naturally, afforded sufficient basic utilities, a chemical analysis by our resident scientists found that the water provided to a minority of the labourers in the V. Putin Mine contained higher than recommended doses of certain chemicals.
S. Kalinov: What chemicals would that be exactly, sir?
D. Zakharov: That's classified, under Environmental Safety Edict no. 19B.
S. Kalinov: I see. When do you expect the water treatment station to be put into operation?
D. Zakharov: Very soon. Our engineers are working on a strict deadline, but I expect them to perform with above average results.
S. Kalinov: Thank you, sir. Before I go, what is the Directorate's stance on recent allegations regarding pollution in Clearwater Lake?
D. Zakharov: As we have seen on Earth, environmental issues can have a significant impact. Our scientific division currently investigating the situation has found disconcerning levels of toxic waste in the lake, predominantly originating in the body of water's south-westernmost inlets and from the direction of New Europa. We have issued an invitation to the Clearwater City Administration and asked them to join us in launching a mutually cooperative project on how to solve this apparent crisis.

Wouldn't that statement imply that both parties were rational and wanted to talk things out? For some reason, I don't see the British at the point where they feel like talking right now.
