Recession in the Underworld

Geneva (AP): The global economic downturn are continuing to hunt down major banks and industrial companies, giving rising pressure at the world leaders to bail out and recapitalize the financial sector. However, as the bloody businesses at the moment don’t seem to have reached its zenith yet, the crisis seems to turn to a catastrophe of apocalyptic dimensions for some.

The many collapses in the banking sector have socialized many of the losses around the world, leaving many governments in an underfunded situation. Surely this means many that governments have second thoughts of further recapitalization schemes. This is leading the Liechtenstein registered Banque Sang du Ombres on its knees; leaving the Vampire Nation facing a most devastating starvation unless someone may provide the bank the fluids that we all know is of fundamental importance for them. The BSO have seen a drop in the will to give blood, which will reduce its possibilities to redistribute A, B and AB profit to its members.

- The failure to bring forward any taxation proposals has been defended on the grounds that, regardless of the urgency of the taxation issue, must await the deliberations of the Commission. This may lead some of the least civilized cartels to stop at nothing to provide themselves what needed to survive, chairman of the BSH Danica Talos tells our Economic correspondent. The more conservative cartel in Moscow has, together with their allies on the other side of the Atlantic, openly criticized the elders of the vampire community for the lack of actions to feed its own population. In an open letter to the Commission, Gitano Dragonetti, member of the Shadow Council, have threatened to end the truce negotiated between the Underworld and the World, arguing that “if the governments around in Europe want cut backs, that’s nothing compared with the massive cut downs vampires loyal to the Shadow Council are prepared to carry out”. He further states that blood like -capital- is a dead labour, and if the bankers may live on sucking their livehood out of the public treasures, so may the vampires suck on the taxpayers themself. Cutting the edges in an ineffective state bureaucracy.

Dragonetti have issued a warning that if not the BSH have been re-fluided by any scheme before 6.PM at Valentine’s Day the House of Erebus and the Dark Others of Moscow will turn to independent activism. The day chosen is not a coincidence as people left alone on February 14^th seems to be less likely to be reported missing of anyone at all, and due to the society's consumer focus the same people are the least visible at all. Hence, Dragonetti emphasizes that this withdraw of profit will have no significant influence on the economy, but that the cut backs in the number of single peoples will reduce the need for social welfare in several European economies. The Commission have refused to answer our correspondnet on this issue, but they tells that any effort to reduce the Crisis and strengthen the Union's competitiveness will be welcomed. The Pope, Fine Gael, Living Word, several employer associations and IKEA have secretly embraced the new strategies implemented by some vampires.

Beth Turner, a journalist who is one of quite few humans with internal contacts in the Vampire Nation tells us from her BuzzWire office in Los Angles, that she have informed our Editor, who met her at a Journalist Congress held in his own holiday house at St. Lucia, that the vast majority in the Vampire Nation don’t want to give up their anonymity. This is followed by the main branches of the Hungarian cartel where Alexander Corvinus, Elder of the Corvinus family, rather focus on the on-going war with the werewolves as their main problem, and do not want to criticize BSO’s fluid policy befor critizizing other cartels for using divide and conquer strategies to benefit thelself.

An emergency meeting led by Danica Talos will be held at BSO headquarter in Geneva during the coming week to solve the gridlock between the bank, the vampire nation and the human part of the world.
