NOTE! We've printed the selected stories to newspapers for the Berlin and Cannes film festivals. We have since set up "The Truth Online" website to publish even more of the articles. So keep them coming!
The online edition is: http://www.thetruthonline.info

Calling out for writers to contribute satirical news stories for a mock news paper set in the Earth 2018 of the Iron Sky movie.
We are looking for amateur & professional writers to write short news stories for a free mock-newspaper that will be printed and spread out during Berlin Film Festival 2009 as a promotional item for Iron Sky.
The format of the paper is like the free Metro newspaper, but the stories can be satirical, as long as they are believeable in some way. The main article in the paper is: ”NAZIS FROM THE MOON ATTACKING EARTH”.
The newspaper is set on Earth, and before this edition, nobody (at least the big public) has known anything about the Nazi threat.
Length of the articles is supposed to be between 500-2500 characters, and the language should be English. Subjects can be around any topic you can find from a normal newspaper: news, culture, sports, entertainment etc. The style can be, but is not limited to, satirical (take a look at The Onion online newspaper for a reference).
If your story ends up to the paper, your name will of course be printed (unless you specifically don't want to), and we'll send you a physical copy of the paper after it's out of the print.
NOTE: PICTURES!
Writers can suggest pictures to go along with the stories, but it's important that they are released under a Creative Commons license which allows the use of the images. Also, you can add as a comment your own picture ideas to the stories submitted here. But keep in mind, we need to have the rights to release them.
in 2018 the ice caps are long gone and polar bears have migrated to south...

Innocent felons meanwhile were directed to join the war effort, 'unless they can count and appreciate scientific thinking simultaneously in order to enable sound scientific practices within the field of locomotion and before.'

“
INDIA'S BIG BROWN IS STAR BOUND! Rocket scientists the world over have been very excited by Gomber’s clean energy thrust weight coefficients. But no one expected Gomber’s system to propel us into the stars. With Arjuna II’s successful launch, now we know that renewable energy can clean upwards into the stratosphere. It’s true we’re still perfecting the technology, and we hope to attain a zero germ environment in our fuselage so that they may be converted into living quarters with some proper funding. Arjuna II’s hull will be used as a vertical greenhouse in Delhi to capture very high rising CO2 gases that too often evade even our tallest trees. Believe it or not but indigenous waste is running low in India, so, here and now, we are prepared to announce an even smarter design for our next launch – Italian manure. Believe it or not – there is greater access to the fervent gases over there so long as they have toilets and open-air garbage dumps. The Tibetan company, Pow Milk, will oversee infrastructure development to ensure an enriched product piped from the Black Sea. Although the Italian DOC & DOC Guarateed councils have ensured a powerful basic product, here at ISRO we appreciate knowing Pow’s involved. We still believe Big Brown can take us to Mars and Venus and we fully expect our BB2 Propulsion Rockets to attain a prolonged orbital stasis within the year.

White House secretary Jay Gap told reporters that it was too early to respond to International News Corp. chief, Fred Gutz, because, 'we have many more responsibilities besides him. Accordingly, a response from the administration may be forthcoming if the President or chief of staff or my tenth grade son currently engaged in social studies has the time to think of something poignantly funny to say to such an obvious bigot.'

A Franco / Slovak UN Forensic team pieced together the heroism that lead to a pile of Falun Gong practitioners to be found dying around the Olympic torch in the Gobi dessert.
Carrying the Olympic torch after three days of running, marathon favorite Slabodine Sleewek collapses of exhaustion and dies in Turkey. Kenyan runner Wiose Rnowe caught the torch and carried Sleewek’s body and continued on. Rnowe collapsed and died in outer Iran but not before reigning Saudi world champion marathoner Prince Sheik Eaton caught the falling torch, and hauled the diminutive Pole and gigantic Kenyan on his shoulders. It was their excessive weight that caused the great Sheik Eaton to sink and drown in the sands of the Gobi dessert and not the peaceful Falun Gongers who apparently were just attracted by the light of the still burning torch.
German born Pope John Paul III and Polish prime minister Lester Soborowich
celebrated the selflessness of the Olympic spirit by mourning together before Mass.

International News Corp. boss Fred Gutz accuses the White House of media terrorism, insisting that a rant on international TV about an imminent 'Moon Nazi Invasion' never happened:
'The administration have been especially soft on media terrorists. And I wonder why. Allowing kids to assemble 'cut and paste puppet shows' of real people doing unimaginably disgusting things to encourage the imagination and a compositional eye is one thing, but scaring the American people through identity theft is just wrong. The truth is our business OK: Nazis didn't go to the moon and they're not coming back and they would never dare to invade such a free and open society as ours no matter what you see on your monitors.'

In New York, Live News boss Vandy Hart dismisses claims that the 'Moon Invasion' incident ever happened. International News Corp. head, Fred Gutz, stunned a group of reporters in Australia by going Kangaroo hunting with Koffer Weiss: 'I haven't in studio for over a week. I'm a retired man enjoying god's green earth.'

Koffer Weiss fired from Live News for going off script at outset of program:
'What we know: Nazis of the 1940s, never tiring of fighting multiple fronts, conquered Antarctica and founded New Swabia. From this frozen outpost, Nazis successfully perfected their experiments in free energies and launched a colony into space to rule Earth in secret from the dark side of the Moon. Shielded from the great equalizer, light, these Nazis unleashed an incessant program of merciless counterintelligence using UFOs to staff our most common fears and manipulate our highest aspirations. They now dare open conflict rather than covert rule. FIGHT - if you value your life – FIGHT!'
Dateline: Moscow, 2018: In its continuing effort to complete its space fleet and to further the goals of neo-perestroika, the CEO-Marshall Georgy Kissov of the Russian military has announced its upcoming IPO. Now to be known as the Russian Amalgamated Military, Inc., or RAM Inc., the IPO will release 49% of the new corporation's 15,000,000 shares of common stock for sale at a starting price of 12.00 Euros. Annalysts on Wall Street are very excited about this new offering and insiders are reportedly lining up to snap up blocks of the RAM Inc. stock.
In related news, the body of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, a.k.a. Lenin, was discoveded to have turned over in his tomb immediately after the press conference announcing RAM Inc.'s IPO. Despite repeated phone calls and emails, spokespersons for Lenin's tomb were unavailable for comment at press time.
Reports of laughter eminating from the grave of former Russian Prime Minister Alexander Kerensky in Putney Vale Cemetary, London, England at the same time remain unconfirmed.
Dateline: EU Admiralty HQ, Brussels, Belgium. In a near unanimous vote, the EU Admiralty renamed its star fleet's flag ship the 'Konrad Adenauer', after the first Chancellor of West Germany following the end of the Second World War. The one decenting country was France, who wanted the spaceship renamed the 'Charles de Gaulle'.

Kehl, Germany
Today marks the One Hundredth Anniversary of Germany's failed attempt at World Conquest. To commemorate such an auspicious occasion, the mayor of Kehl, Germany, the neighbor city of Strasbourg, France, has arranged a midnight staring mass at the French.
Following the German defeat with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany has always born a grudge against their French neighbor. Not only were the reparations paid out by Germany not enough, but the French had to instigate the German peoples to revolt once more in Germany's glorious second attempt at World Conquest.
Such an occasion was marked by a national holiday across the German Republic with a general defacing of French and British monuments. In Berlin alone, seven French-cuisine restaurants had their front windows smashed. In response to this outburst of anarchy, the French gladly gave up their property as a sign of good will.
Herr Otto Schulmann, the owner of a German restaurant who annexed his French neighbor thought rather positively of his recent acquisitions, "My previous tenet to my left was such a unwise businessman. All he would do was gloat about how his business was so much better than mine. So, in the German spirit, I silenced, I mean, I bought out his restaurant. Today, I have served more than one thousand patriotic German citizens in preparation for our midnight mass,"
Moreover, the British restaurateurs of the town turned to the local McDonalds for the necessary supplies to last such a harsh struggle. The local manager of the Kehl McDonalds was seen packing up crates of beef and cheese to ship to local British restaurants in an effort to whether the day.
The trains flooded the tiny city as the crowds all massed in the city square in preparation for the nights festivities. At approximately 23:59, local standard time, the German citizens extinguished all lights from the city, except for two large spotlights, which were trained across the French boarder. For one minute, no German uttered a single word and solely stared at the French town.
At midnight, the staring stopped and the spotlights were extinguished, ending the festivities.
However, the town has more plans in store. As the Kehl mayor, Günther Petry, commented, “We are looking forward to 2039, when we shall celebrate the start of our Second whack at European politics. Big plans are in store, involving a massive pyrotechnics show, the likes of which the French shall never forget, not at least for six years,”

AP- Abdul Zimmerman, chief theorist of the Ayn Rand Thinktank Institution, today released to the public the efforts of years of study on behalf of his esteemed association.
Said Zimmerman, "After much research and consultations with marketing analysts and financial experts from around the globe, we of the A.R.T.I. have reached the conclusion as to the source behind the continuing assorted global economic crises.
Essentially, we blame the price of tea in China."
Lone surviving Beatle Ringo Starr, who had absolutely nothing to do with this story, could not be reached for comment as of press time.
German biologist Gordon Kohl, who had been stationed in Argentina to study the vegetation in the forests of the Gran Chaco province, was killed on Tuesday in what scientific minds all over the world have dubbed both 'a terrible tragedy' and 'an amazing discovery.' Kohl's associate Brian Davis said that Gordon was 'minding his own business perusing ferns' when 'an enormously large bird came swooping down and grabbed him by the shoulders'. Kohl's half-eaten body was later found hanging out of a tree. Zoologists have identified the bird from descriptions as Argentavis magnificens, also known as the 'Giant Teratorn', a creature six million years old and long thought to be extinct.
The discovery has baffled scientists and prompted debate from religious scholars who were today protesting at the Museum of National History in London, telling passersby to 'shove evolution up your ass'. Internet discussions have proclaimed that 'God is the biggest troll ever.' When asked to comment, Stephen Hawking was heard to have said 'What the fuck?'
Greens groups have created the Previously-Extinct Native Intelligence Society (PENIS) for gathering information on new species previously thought to be extinct.

Here in 2018, 150 years removed from Darwin’s presentation of Evolution at the Linnean society, and 148 years after the riotuous Oxford Evolution Debates, the halls of higher British learning ring again with the comely urgencies of spiritualized debate as Bishop Lerner Kotenfreud attacked Patrick Hamlin Buts’ defense of the last Rolling Phones album, ‘Robo Church,’ that includes lyrics like, ‘Church is there, anywhere, where robots care to dream on your share,’ among snazzy hooks and rocky guitar riffs much to the consternation of activists worldwide currently blowing up European buildings housing accountants that pay for robot factories.
Bishop Kotenfreud, representing the newly founded Deutch Union Kraft exchange (DUK) of publically traded international unions suggested that the devil may finally anger god enough to snuff out humanity: ‘if god surely lied in the heavens, we humans should meet him in person as we’ve always done and not via revoluting brain circuitry,’ while Buts, the learned MTU rock reporter & rock missionary, rock confessor, rock historian, rock snob and poet, bored many teenagers out of there minds with a three hour speech on the history of fire and learning, comparing the robots to reflections of angels while waiting for the Rolling Phones to set his speech to music.
The DUK reportedly will return to exploding factories dedicated to producing robots capable of space travel once the musical sitins end. The Union of Managing Factories (UFM) continue to believe that robots may actually be more fit for space than earth as they don’t breath nor need to thus leaving earth safely to us humans. Personally I hear the next Bill Gates remixed dance mix album, ‘Infinte Now,’ is set to settle the debate with bluesy simple worded melodies intoxicatingly set to a hypnotically looping drum kit. Expect the review tomorrow on my podcast, 'Reverb,' presented by UFM boots, Grounding Up For Kids, and RobSslave, your real friends in the virtual word.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' White Album. Long gone is the Soviet Union that was greeted with the song Back in the USSR, Blackbird has also sung now for fifty years and Martha been oh so dear...
Ironically the world economics has gone Helter Skelter during the last two decades, and many citizens around the world have admitted that Happiness is a Warm Gun. People talking about Nazis on the moon and conspiracies should know anyhow that Everybody's got something to hide except me and my Monkey. You now think you want a Revolution? So why don't we do it in the Road, no one will be watching us?
Now turn on your record players again and tune in to that Beatles White Album coming clear and loud from your amplifiers, maybe there is a message there, as some people claim, because the music of the Fab Four has now lasted half a century. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
- Brian Brimstone, music journalist of the 60's.
