Ripped from the Headlines

A collection of "news" articles literally ripped out of archived originals

Some of these fragments are only the headline. Others are paragraph fragments ripped from the middle of an article. Most are torn partway through either beginning or conclusion.

The Belgian government is suppressing knowledge of stargates.

21 December, 2002

Donald Blake,
reporting for Weekly World News

As reported by exiled Japanese State Department insider Shigo Hideyori, the government of Belgium has stationed one of its three dedicated Stargate Suppression Teams at the United Nations Building in New York, New York, USA as a liason point for its ongoing work with noted international superhero team the Wat

Joint Seattle Venture Announced

Tuesday, July 28, 1998

LexCorp is pleased to announce a joint venture with Cadmus Foundation to satisfy the emergency needs established by the City of Seattle, Washington State. A prototype "Meta-Suppression Field" has already begun to project in the hardest-hit sections of Downtown Seattle.

At full operational capacity, the protective device will create a "bubble of calm" to contain the entire municipal jurisdiction from Lake Washington to Puget Sound, and from 145th Street south the Tukwila incorporated zone. Within this bubble, all metagenomic energies and expression will be naturally suppressed. A spokesman for Cadmus Foundation, Dr. Jax Ur, assures the public that very few side effects will be noted by the average law-abiding citizen. "The primary benefit of this sub-psionic field is a moderate lowering of aggression," Ur stated. "Patients of a treatment with certain soporific components should check with their attending physician, especially if they note a significant increase in alpha phase sleep duration."

City law enforcement have begun work to identify and interview trouble generating metahuman groups such as seen at the recent Olympic ████████████████████████████████████████

Morricone Inventions Set to Debut Multidimensional Nanotech

Giovani Morricone is a brilliant inventor who's been researching nanotech for years. Most venture capitalists won't touch him because he has protection from Card Shark Syndicate. He has scheduled a public announcement for Friday, June 13th, with the leading note that he will discuss computational access to a "Virtual Earth" energy space that exists parallel to

Epiphany of Stabilization

Given the failure of this initial approach, in the last two decades alternative SETI programs have been proposed. They exploit coherent laser optical/IR (COSETI), holographic signals and worldwide web detection schemes, as well as ideas to search for ETI artifacts (SETA, or astroarchaeology) and visiting probes (SETV, V=visitation) in the solar system or on Earth (Tough, 2000).

There are new proposed search schemes based on the application of high-energy (particle) physics detection, such as modulated neutrino beams, X-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays, etc. Other search schemes propose looking for artificially generated excess radiation emissions from astronomical bodies in space or for high-energy radiation starship exhaust trails (G. Matloff, personal communication, 1998).

These new programs have been at odds with members of the dominant RMW-SETI program, possibly because of concern over having to share scarce resources or compete with other non- RMW programs for the very limited private funding available for overall SETI research.

This collage draws from many sources, mostly using originals literally torn out of their archival stored formats.

Some sources, based upon the box labels scattered at the crime scene:

• partial physical or mailing addresses ripped out of Better Business Bureau complaint forms dating back to 1912; while many addresses are in Wilmington, Delaware, locations range from the Five Boroughs of New York City, to various cities in Pennsylvania, to Key West, Florida, to Winnemucca, Nevada


• the New York City Comptroller record books of property taxes from 1794-1901, excluding 1812/1815


• legal briefs and case documentation from a now-defunct law firm in Brooklyn, including waterstained and badly damaged originals of invoices from the graphical arts firm of "T. E. Metet", also including references to something called a "Shivan"

Historical Details

Background

The Trenchcoat Brigade discovered this trifold Evidence Collage in the process of being (completed?) (continued?) (expanded?) (created?) on Wednesday, January 6, 2010, in the harbor shipping yard of the Columbia Street Waterfront District in Brooklyn, New York City, New York. It was being processed by a man in a crimson red jumpsuit. He had clearly been at work for a long period of time, possibly hours. His source material came from the archival boxes stacked just outside a shipping container. Discarded strips of pages, microfiches, and archival photos lay scattered about on the muddy pavement.

The miscreant had boxes of material out in the open air, where they ought not be. He has no obvious authorization to have direct contact at all with these materials, much less to have brought such storage boxes away from their proper facility.

After his defeat in extremely brief combat, the man in the jumpsuit was taken into custody by the Trenchcoat Brigade for further investigation. As much as possible of the materials from the board, after quick photography and videography, were relocated into some large manila envelopes so that they could be examined in controlled conditions elsewhere.

Said "controlled conditions" are now the back of the panel van whose sides proclaim Abbey Normal Inspections is present to test a residence for metahuman effects on the home's structure.
