Rumours have reached the Badger News that in certain cities cures, are only being distributed to people in exchange for votes.
When questioned about this, however, authorities denied the practice and stress that cures are being distributed in function of the city’s requirements and the distribution possibilities.
Let’s hope this rumour is indeed false. This would otherwise be a new low.

According to the latest information the City Council is evacuating from the State House towards a nearby refugee camp.
However it seems like the Governor will stay behind together with State Troops. According to the State Office the Governor wants to keep his word and protect the State House. The eact reason for this is unknown.

Badger News has received the first reports that Northland troops have reached Albany’s city limits.
Strangely enough, they appear to be attacking the Ombie hordes in the city on their own, instead of focusing on getting people to safety.
When pressed for information, the Governor’s press agent indicated that they were unaware of the arrival of these troops.

According to a statement from the newly appointed Chief of Police in Albany the “insurrection” is nothing more than a misunderstanding.
Badger News can only conclude it is still unclear who is really in charge in our State Capital and if the Governor is still acting in the people’s best interest?
Meanwhile the Governor, City Council and your Badger News reporters are still barricaded inside the State House.
Latest rumours say we will soon be evacuated…

I, the Editor in Chief of the Kanawha Newspaper am running for President of the United States of America! I have been dutifully representing the voice of the people during this pressing weekend, and I have been the only voice of reason amidst all of this chaos. I hope you will consider giving me your support.

Locals in Plattsburgh and Saratoga Springs have reported the presence of Northland troops in their area, apparently moving towards the city of . However, Adirondack State Governor Tim Duerinck claims to have no news about the whereabouts of the Northland Army. There is still no clarity about the intentions of the Northland Army on our grounds.

2 Ombie-infected hordes have effectively been cured in the city of New Amsterdam. The cure is currently being deployed by helicopters.
Meanwhile, the governor and the city mayor are fighting to take on the honor of developing this cure. There is hereby no clarity about who is responsible for the development of the cure and it might as well have been developed in another state or by another company.
Anyhow, most importantly: THERE IS A CURE!
Sadly, politicians still seem to be more concerned with their image than with curing their people.

Word has reached us that our Albany offices have been demolished in the past hours.
It is a sad day for free press when the base of your operations has been demolished.
However, we keep on reporting from another location and we have every confidence that our proud nation will overcome this crisis.

As we speak, samples of the cure are on its way to NecroTec, Ouisconsin to be mass produced. The states of Adirondack and Wabash are mass creating the delivery systems to be used by the states of Adirondack, Wabash and Susquehannock, who has been delivering the cure.
Helicopters provided by another state, but under the control of the governor of Susquehannock are transporting the delivery system. The delivery system will be filled with the mass-produced cure at the NecroTec factory in Ouisconsin, after which they will fly back to Susquehannock for distribution. Adirondack and Wabash will retrieve their filled delivery systems in a similar way.

In the past hours, Badger News has received a press statement from Governor Deurinck that he intends to run as vice-president to our neighbouring state’s Governor, Mr. Verbeek.
Really, this is what he has been doing these past days? Wondering who he should run with for the preliminaries?
As already highlighted in our previous editorial, one can only wonder what the people in charge are thinking. They are putting their own personal ambitions ahead of the safety of the people.
This can clearly not continue like this. We strongly urge our leaders to look deep and hard within themselves and come to their senses.
Badger News will not spend any more ink on the political ambitions of our leaders as long as the crisis is not solved.
We strongly urge our leaders to come to their senses and get their priorities right!

Reports tell us that local police forces have tried to capture the Governor. National guard troops have interfered and taken the chief of police captive! More info soon…

The University of New Amsterdam, supported by the state and the city of New Amsterdam, has found a cure to the widespread Ombie virus, thus claims New Amsterdam mayor Elina Gouliou. It is being deployed in the city at this very moment and production is continued in order to distribute the cure to other infected areas. Hopes are that the Ombie outbreak can finally be contained and resolved.

The New Amsterdam mayor has communicated to Badger Press that there is free pizza at the New Amsterdam City hospital.

The Stewart military air base near Albany has been overrun by Ombie hordes.
Sources within the military tell us that insufficient defences where left at the base and that an overrun was inevitable.

Recently, all inhabitants (including the Badger News redaction) of Albany have been evacuated to the city’s hospital. However they are keeping their hopes and spirit up high and threw a hospital party for all the patients and evacuated.
The mayor and other city officials were present as well.

Governor Deurinck has issued a statement to Badger News stating that Northland troops are preparing to enter Adirondack territory.
Badger News is trying to confirm the news with the White House.

The governors of Susquehannock and Adirondack and the mayors of Wabash have managed to bring the cure of Lexcorp together with the delivery system of the National Guard. As soon as these parties have physically met, the delivery of the cure will start.

New Amsterdam has got a new tactic in their fight against the Ombies: setting boats full of oil on fire and sending them towards Ombie infested areas.
Who ever said oil wouldn’t save the world?

Badger News was informed that the first of the refugee camps is fully operational.
Built by the army near the National Guard base in Syracuse, the huge refugee camp is ready to receive the refugees coming from Albany.

The redaction of Badger News is more and more faced with contradicting communications.
On the one hand we have Governor Duerinck communicating about trying to recapture the city of Albany. On the other hand the mayor of Albany is telling us that they plan to evacuate all citizens from the city, while trying to keep all Ombies inside to eradicate them.
It is not clear to Badger News what the real plans are, but one thing is clear: there is no clear collaboration between the two parties.
As Badger News is being relocated, we can only see that authorities are struggling to control the situation. If on top of that there is infighting between the different persons in charge, the population is further at risk.
We ask one thing from the people in charge: do your job, keep people safe.

The mayor of New Amsterdam and the Governor’s office have communicated to Badger News that a “zombie” cure has been found and that funds are being diverted for distribution of the vaccin to the population.
No clear timeline or distribution channels have been communicated at this time.

We are relocating from our office to a nearby hospital as the National Guard is giving up on the block where the Badger News offices are based.
But no fear dear reader, we will continue to inform you of the ongoing events as longs as technology allows us.
#holdthenorth

North New Amsterdam is still holding strong against the pressing hordes
from the South. The North stands as a bastion of order. Mayor Gouliou who
recently recovered from her injuries, rallies Police, Emergency Services
and Citizens together. “We will continue to fight, we will stand together,
we will hold the bridges. We WILL hold the North!”

Over the past hours, several statements have been received from different branches of the government with regards to possible involvement of Northland in the ongoing crisis in our proud state.
First there was the news about an airstrike that was supposedly taking place on New Amsterdam by Northland airplanes, which has been denied by the federal authorities.
In the last hours, the Governor’s office has been issuing statements about the possible involvement of Northland ground troops in the ongoing crisis. The latest rumours are that this operation would be allowed by the White House. The Governor opposed such an operation, as he is afraid that this operations is actually a hidden attempt at annexation of our state to North Land.

According to the Mayor of New Amsterdam they are working together with the Chief of Police to organise a militia to help combat the Ombie treat. Help from the Pentagon has also been confirmed.
At the same time according to the Governor the state has organised a mega game as charity event in New Amsterdam. The subject of this Mega game is the Ombie situation itself so the citizens can see for themselves how difficult it is to search compromises. This charity event revenue is going to helps people in need

According to the Governor’s office during the emergency meeting between the governor and city officials it was agreed upon to use the Army and National guard to try and secure the major roads in between the cities. This should allow the government to contain the outbreak of the Ombies.
There are also rumours about troops from Northland coming into action within our state. It’s is unclear who has approved these actions.
Air strikes remain a means of last resort in case other measurements fail.

Badge News was informed by the White House press agency that the first three refugee camps have been established by army engineers around the base of the National Guard in Syracuse.
As the population is on the run, the authorities want to inform them that refugee camps will be established as the Army and the National Guard advance towards the big cities in the state.

Badger News has received the following communication from the mayor of Albany:
”
PSA: Emergency Council meeting organisation
This is a notice intended for all political bodies in the state of
Adirondack:
The Governor has requested an emergency council to organise the
counter-Ombie efforts in the state. Due to continued concerns about the
health (and a possible infection) of the Governor, the Mayor of Albany is
organising an emergency council meeting by telephone. All invited parties
will receive the necessary information to join the council meeting.
The Mayor of Albany continues to care for everyone’s safety and health, and
by preventing travel and possible exposure to infection, state governing
bodies can continue functioning effectively.
”
We do not know if there are clear indications of the Governor’s infection or not, but it is strange in such a time of crisis to request all mayor political players to be present in person in a city overrun by Ombies.

The mayor of Albany has ordered city police to keep the State Governor secured inside the State House.

In a joint decision between the White House, the Governor’s office and the mayor of New Amsterdam, the areas of the city abandoned to the zombie hordes will be bombed.
The airstrike will come from North Land.

Governor Tim Duerinck requests the set-up of an emergency council. All mayors and police chiefs should report at the State House at the start of phase 1 to coordinate efforts with National Guard and Homelands security .

New Amsterdam
- City mayor wounded in ER after zombie attack
- South and West of the city overrun by Ombies: officials trying to contain outbreak
- Relocating population to North of the city which is fairly Ombie-free
Albany
- Ombies present in all parts of the city
- Mass panic: all Ombies have increased 1 level!
- Priority = keeping the hospitals safe
- State governor kept in his mansion
- Chief of State police captured Ombie specimen himself
Binghampton
- City surrounded by Ombies
- Evacuating and trying to safeguard the city centre
- Fires are spreading

Badger News has witnessed first-hand the panic in the streets of Albany.
Authorities describe the situation as “Mass Panic”
The situation appears to be completely out of control.

The National Guard has deployed around the Albany offices of Badger Press.
We would like to thank the brave men and women of the National Guard for protecting our right to bring you the latest information throughout this crisis.

An anonymous source in the White House has reported that the Northland Army is on its way to Adirondack to help the state fight off the infestation. They are to join State Police and National Guard in the fight against the Ombies.

The population of Syracuse is on the run from the Ombie horde.
The people are fleeing towards the National Guard station near the city as there are no other authorities defending them.
Meanwhile, reports have reached us that the 10th Mountain division of the US Army has reached the National Guard station to assist in the ongoing battle.

Recent statements of the Governor’s office stated that the National Guard had secured the State House. However our flying reporters send us disturbing images from the scene! It looks like the Governor is completely surrounded by the Ombie Hordes!
Is the Governor already infected and trying to strong-arm Badger News into publicizing fake news?! Footage from the scene:

What is our governor doing?
Several parts of the government are concerned by the performance of Governor Deurinck.
Homeland Security has communicated that the Governor is failing to instruct and coordinate their efforts to combat the zombie outbreak.
This comes on top of the previous reports about the Governor choosing to evacuate his family and forcing the Albany city authorities to abandon key public buildings to the zombie horde.
In the opinion of Badger News, this can only mean one thing: the Governor is not fit for his job. How he ever want to convince people now that he would be qualified to run for president remains a mystery to us.

According to Gov. Tim Duerinck the National guard has secured the neighborhood around the state house and the governor and staff returned successfully to the state house. State police safeguards local
hospital for the local citizens.
The Government askes people to not panic and closely follow instructions from police and emergency services!

Following press statement was released by the Governor’s office:
The state governor has pressured Mayor Henk of Albany to surrender the
western part of the city and relocate towards City Hall. The western
district of the city houses, amongst others, the local Mercy Hospital and
the State Hall, two major components of Albany society.
By giving the order to relocate, the governor urges the state police forces
to abandon State Hall and the Mercy Hospital, despite resident patients
being in care.
Mayor Henk of Albany: “I firmly believe that it is irresponsible to abandon
core infrastructure of our city in favour of personal security, and we will
continue our city services’ efforts to secure our major services and ensure
continued care for the sick and ill. Not only is this important for our
city, but for a stable state as a whole.”

Badger Press has obtained some life footage from the ongoing riots and looting in Albany in outrage after the Governor’s relocation.

Governor Tim Duerinck is evacuating himself and his family to the city hall in Albany.
In the city, panic is breaking out in reaction to his relocation. People believe that the city is lost, that the governor is giving up the city. They strongly feel the governor is abandoning them.
The governor however states that he is moving only to protect his people and to free more ressources for their safety.
Ombies are not only reported in the surroundings of the governor’s mansion, but also in the suburbs. The national guard has still not arrived as it is present in New Amsterdam.

New Amsterdam Mayor, Chief of Police and Emergency Services have issued an order for people living in the south of New Amsterdam to relocate to the city Center in the North District.
We believe that this is due to the rising level of Ombies in this area.

In reaction to the ban on “the Z-word” issued by the white house, the Badger News Adirondack office will as from now replace “the Z-word” by Ombie. As in their statement they speak of a “zombie outbreak” we consider this confirmed.

New Amsterdam mayor and candidate for governor Elina Gouliou has asked us to come take a picture of her visiting the hospitalized injured in the Ombie outbreak. She has once again offered money to do so and pretend to be a caring mayor with a heart for her people.

The situation in Binghampton appears to be under control, no casualties have been reported in the town.
The situation in Albany appears to be improving.
Meanwhile rumors have reached Badger News reporters that the situation in New Amsterdam is escalating. it was understood that the Chief of Police has requested State troops to be shifted from Albany to New Amsterdam as soon as available.

New Amsterdam mayor Elina Gouliou, running for re-election in the New Amsterdam mayor office has offered money to one of our press officers in return for “better press coverage”. However the Ombie situation in New Amsterdam seems fairly under control, as an independent journal we can only make this disgusting act of bribing public.

The outbreak in West Albany is reaching apocalyptic proportions. Groups of zombies from the outbreak are getting close to the state house. Will the national guard come in time?

The New Amsterdam Chief of Police Kris Van Beurden, also running for city mayor, has stated that an infected zombie has been captured alive by the law enforcement officers of the cities.
The zombie will be “shared” with Homeland Security in order to understand “the problem”.

Badger News has received several reports of rioting in the big cities of our state. Especially around police stations numerous reports are coming in.

Badger News has received following statement from the Mayor of New Amsterdam:
”
In this time of crisis, Mayor Elina Gouliou would like to remind people of
their right to defend themselves (if necessary with lethal actions) against
any threats to themselves, their families and livelihoods.
In this regard, they can consider any unliving creatures such a threat.
“

Several outbreaks of the so-called zombie virus VAC have been confirmed in Binghampton.
The police is currently “taking care of it”. One police officer has been injured. He is being treated in a New Amsterdam hospital in the framework of healthcare collaboration offered by New Amsterdam Chief of Police candidate for the office of Mayor Kris van Beurden and Chief of Emergency Services Koenraad Kegels.
Furthermore, Binghampton Mayor and Chief of Emergency Service are currently present ON-SITE of the zombie outbreak to support the emergency services! This action could be called heroic, dangerous and/or stupid. It may even contribute to a further spreading of the VAC virus.
People infected with the “zombie” virus look normal but act aggressive and out of their minds. Are the Binghampton politicians infected already?

The Mayor Press agency has confirmed to Badger News that there are no cases of the so-called VAC virus in New Amsterdam.
Meanwhile independent research by our reporters has shown that there are already several outbreaks within the New Amsterdam city limits, why is the Mayor Lying?

The mayor of Binghampton and Homeland security have both confirmed to the Badger News that there have been sightings of the so-called “zombies” [sic] in the state.
The mayor of Binghampton went on to add that they will cooperate in full with New Amsterdam in fighting this disease.

The events of the recent hours are strange, but what is even stranger is that the government is clearly not communicating what they know.
They are all saying everything is under control, but at the same time the governor is mobilising additional troops.
One can only ask: why? What are they hiding?
Badger News will keep on asking questions to get the truth out of them!

Governor Deurinck is mobilising additional state troops to help fight the outbreak. No clear statement was received on nature of disease.

Governor Tim Duerinck, running for president in the 2017 campaign, has released the following statement, confirming the spread of a zombie-like disease.
“Fellow citizens,
Reality challenges us on a daily basis but rarely at this scale. We are facing truly historical
circumstances. An outbreak of an unknown infestation is reported in many different states.
Team of our most senior and qualified scientists are trying to find the sources and a cure but
this Zombie-like infestation will require immediate action by each one of us. We need to
come together in unity to move forward.
As a Governor, it is my duty and honor to serve you in this difficult time but we will prevail. I
understand and share your fears and sorrow as a husband, father and brother. Let us
remember our forefathers and bring them honor.
In unity we will find the strength!
Gov. Tim Duerinck”

After the reported zombie sightings in the state of Susquehannock the Badger News has been collecting comments from political figures all over the state.
State Governor Tim Duerinck says “Nothing weird has been reported” in Adirondack. He adds that, in case of a crisis, the state is fully equipped to handle this. Homeland Security has reached out to the other states and is investigating the situation.
However, New Amsterdam mayor Elina Gouliou was seen almost inviting these so-called zombies into her city: “It they want to come, let them come, let them try!”. She was confident that the city’s infrastructure and emergency service can handle anything if anything might happen.

In case Governor Deurinck succeeds in winning the Presidency, he has no idea who would be most suited to follow in his footsteps as Governor.

The deployment of state troops has been widely noticed recently in the state of Adirondack. Governor Tim Duerinck has stated that these are merely drill exercises in order to keep the police troops on sharp.
Homeland Security confirms that “nothing is happening”. “Everything is 100% safe”.

Recent interviews show that Governor Deurinck has the support of the bigger cities in the state, however the small town of Binghampton clearly indicated that they feel left out in the Governor’s policies.
The big cities clearly indicated that they feel the safety of their citizens and overall security levels are more than adequate.

Breaking: Adirondack state governor Tim Duerinck from the Adirondack Democratic State Party runs for president!
The promotional flyer above has just been released. Duerinck’s campaigning motto is “Strenth through Unity”. After the recent typo discussions on the state’s new motto, we are glad to see that no spelling errors are present in this communication.
Furthermore, sources say that governor Duerinck has stated that he finds it quite symbolic that it is exactly the word “togheter” that has been misspelled. Is the state administration out of control? Is the governor still in control of the state’s business? To be continued…

The New Amsterdam Chief of Police, Kris Van Beurden, is running for the office of Mayor
of New Amsterdam. If elected he vows to correct the shameful way the city
has been treating its police force. He vows to improve police pensions and
improve healthcare benefits and states the city’s men in blue will no longer be left
behind. Van Beurden is a member of the Republican party. His hashtag is #VanBeurden for Mayor.
The current mayor, miss Elina Gouliou, a Democratic party member, has also announced that she will be running for re-election.

The city hall press officer has just announced the candidacy of New Amsterdam mayor Elina Gouliou for re-election. The #gouliouformayor campaign features mayor Elina on a USA flag stating “United, we can do it again”. What it is exactly that we can do again is not stated. Surprise?

“We build our future togheter” says the state of Adirondack’s new motto. One would say that a state administration could at least afford a decent spelling check.
The banner with this new motto has been spread on behalf of Gov. Tim Duerinck and shows a soft pink-and-purple background with the new logo as well. Particularly remarkable is the style difference between the old-fashioned text in the logo, “Adirondack – Liberty and Prosperity” and the motto, flashy in stylish white with a very modern writing error in this fast-paced society.
Furthermore, the logo shows a ribbon in blue and red with a bird spreading its wings.
There has been no further comment from the State so far on this sudden change of logo and motto. What is up here?
Update 11h54: The state’s press officer has stated that the above mentioned spelling error is indeed a mistake but there has been decided not to correct it as a sign of openness to imperfection: “Nobody is perfect” are his words.
Moreover, strange things have been seen around the State administration’s building: people seemingly running around mindless like a headless chicken. Might they have something to do with this utterly stupid mistake?
