ATLANTIS BACKSTAB: U.K. Raids Czech Treasury, No U.S. Response
Nick Everdale
--
The Fair Dealer comes to you today with a developing story that threatens to split the ATLANTIS alliance just as it capitalizes on the recent Indonesian losses in Asia. Reports have surfaced that the United Kingdom, an ATLANTIS member, knowingly took over the government of the Czech Republic, raided their treasury, and made off into the night.
The Czech Republic, it must be noted, has a friendly status with the United States. The theft of its 150 gold - a fortune to a nation so small - leaves it practically penniless.
The situation came to light at midnight on April 30th, when a Czech citizen posted an impassioned plea for U.S. support. He wrote, "The Czech Republic was subverted by the United Kingdom's Paras who managed to steal congressional seats and move our treasury into the accounts held by British and Romanian interests..."
If true, these accusations may mean the United Kingdom is guilty of subverting its own allies for personal gain. Public opinion in the United States was split regarding the events, with publishing magnate and former Congressman Jewitt flatly stating, "This happens to every small country."
Former American Secretary of Portugal Affairs Danylo Halytskyj again led the charge for a full investigation into a foreign power, stating, "America should truly revisit its position in [ATLANTIS] if this criminal act is not rectified and punished."
Hakytskyj also called for allowing the current U.S.-U.K. MPP to expire, as well as placing a strong embargo on the United Kingdom until reparations are made.
At this time there has been no official response from President Scrabman, who is coming to the end of his first term in office in mere days. With the dominant Congressional opinion moving towards strong sanctions, this explosion comes at an awful time for Scrabman's re-election campaign, now in full swing.
More on this story as it develops.

First and signed.
Old news. You do realise the US president let it go on?
what about romania?
BOOOOO ATLANTIS
Old and several key facts are missing. Why are you talking to a Minister of Portugal for one? They are an enemy of the USA.
stupid propaganda!
Danylo was the U.S. Secretary for Portugal Affairs, now a leading voice for further investigation of the U.K. situation.
Have you checked about the status in Philippines? A neutral country, first looted by eBrazilians, then reconstructed by people from the eUK, now in process of being destroyed again by a rogue group from eSpain!
I support this entire thing!
I will certainly investigate this situation, Ramona. Thank you for your contribution!
For the record I did not call for the mpp to expire (unless the eUK categorically refuses to return the monies stolen) but I did call for an official condemnation of this action by the US governement as well as Atlantis.
so much for Scrabman.
I'm with Danylo on this one. And I support MPP expiration if the UK does not rectify the situation.
@malta : If this is true I hope it impacts tomorrow's elections. However, I'm not sure what the president would have done in this case? Suggestions for similar situations in the future? Send volunteers to counter the congressional takeover? Was that intelligence available in time?
In addition, even if we're not the victim in this situation, how can we trust the UK going forward?
@Malta - a shameful and totally unBritish act. Many candidates for the Presidential elections have promised to return the money.
Maybe Atlantis did not believe that condemning TOs of neutral/friendly countries was in their remit... if not, the an article should be added to reflect this. Perhaps a schedule could be added which lists neutral/friendly countries who cannot be a target of TO attempt?
Franz, it doesn't matter who is the face of the UK. Their whole system is corrupt and it was clear that it would be again a member of UKRPTUP who will continue their totalitarian agenda.

Only 87G was taken, the rest was congress medals. They have an org with 100G in anyway. So it's ok for Romania to do it, and not the rest of ATLANTIS? Hypocrites
The Gold for the congress medals could have ended up with the 16 Czech citizens that didn't get into the Czech congress.
Q5 Hospitals and DS are more expensive than 100G.
The talk was about the Czech Republic, which had signed a MPP with the USA not so long ago, and even paid the full price for it.
